About: Im a 911 dispatcher, and have two pups of my own! I understand pups being nervous or anxious and im always down for some pup cuddles! I work full time night shift, i sleep some during the day but i am usually awake from 5pm - 8am. I can work my schedule around yours! Both of my dogs are very anxious when we leave the house so i completely understand wanting someone to take the pups on walks and checking on throughout the day.

“Megan was so caring for my pups! She kept in touch with updates and pictures, and made sure they got exercise and extra love in my absence. I definitely plan to use her in the future!”

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was five years old. I still distinctly remember the breeder of the first dog I ever owned - a chocolate lab named Ginger - looking me in the eye after seeing I was apprehensive about the dogs and telling me, "Son, some day this dog will be the best friend you ever had." Ginger and I went everywhere together. I've had dogs and cats virtually my whole life, and the animals love me. While I am employed full time, I work in a hybrid setting that includes roughly 3 remote days per week, so I can be pet sitting on site and developing as close a band as I can to alleviate the babies' separation anxiety. I aim to please - if you'd prefer for your fur baby to be crated at night, then I will make sure s/he does that. My only job, other than to make the babies' experience as smooth as possible, is to follow the directions laid out by the owners.

About: I've been through quite the journey with my own dog and would be happy to provide the same gentle and behavior-informed approach with your animals. I also have a livestock handling background that includes some light veterinary experiences (i.e. administering medication and vaccines) and would be comfortable making sure your pets get the care they need. I work part time with a relatively flexible schedule that would give me time to hang and play with your furry friends at different times throughout the day and week. I could offer pet sitting at my apartment under special circumstances and with advanced notice. Happy to take your dogs out on walks or stay in your home to make sure your pets get the care they need while you may be away. Respectful, neat, and considerate!

About: I have been an animal lover for life and a dog owner for two years. Before that I have been a dog sitter several times in the UK, where I am from. I have regularly cat-sit for a family, which included taking the little feline out on walks in her harness! I love doing training with my own dog, (who is steadily becoming more well behaved!) and would be happy to incorporate training into my visits with yours. I am a very active person and can play ball, run, and walk with dogs. I know the importance of mental stimulation. I am currently available most days, with the exception of Wednesdays. I am an artist and market vendor, and I am able to adjust my schedule much of the time to fit in with your needs. I am happy to walk dogs and do check-ins at your home. I am a careful and cautious person and will follow instructions given as closely as I can.

About: I am very patient and caring, and this is reflected in my care of animals. I have worked with cats and dogs of all different temperaments, including puppies, so I know how to adjust my care based on the needs or personality of the pet. I am currently working part-time, but I would love to spend my extra time with your pets! My schedule changes week to week, but as long as everything is communicated ahead of time I am happy to work you in. I have one cat at home, although he prefers to be the only animal in the house. In terms of care in the clients home, I am open and flexible to whatever they need, whether that is a long walk, crating the dog, or just time outside to play and get energy out.

About: I will be out of commission until July at least, recovering from a total spinal fusion surgery (T3 -Pelvic Iliac). Anyway, I’m not taking new clients until I feel strong enough to trust my body is firmly healed. Unless we made previous arrangements, please wait until I re-open my calendar. Thank you and I miss my regular clients. I will be back, better, stronger, …. Bionic! Check in April.

About: I have lived with animals my entire life, providing me with years of dedicated pet care experience. Our past family pets include dogs, cats, a rabbit, ferrets, rats, a bearded dragon, a snake, and various insects. I also ride horses, so have basic equine care experience such as mucking stalls, brushing, washing, and feeding. I have administered oral medication to all of our larger animal breeds. I currently own two senior animals, a bloodhound mix and a small kitty. I only work with potty-trained dogs if they are adults, but am completely sympathetic with cleaning up messes from puppies and seniors who can’t help it. Now that I am on summer vacation, i’m looking for more regular work with animals! As of now, I care for my own dog and cat diligently, providing daily enrichment and cosmetic care. I am a gentle person, and work best with animals that are not defiant or high-energy. I love to provide long brushing sessions, cuddles on the couch, playtime, and treats.

“Raquel has been incredible! Highly recommended!!”
