About: Hi there! I grew up in a household where the family business was dog hair and dedication—my parent is a professional AKC dog handler, so I’ve been around show dogs and working breeds my whole life. I have hands-on experience with large breeds, especially working dogs, and know how to keep them happy, safe, and engaged. By day, I’m an elementary school teacher and equestrian coach—which means I’m very patient, love a good routine, and I’m no stranger to cleaning up messes and handing out treats! My real passion is showing horses, but animals of all kinds have always been part of my world. Whether your pup needs a walk, some playtime, or a little extra TLC, I bring a calm, confident presence and a whole lot of love to every visit. I currently have availability in the evening and weekends. I am an elementary teacher so starting in June I will have more availability during the week! Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I’m always thinking two steps ahead—whether it’s double-checking gates, watching for signs of stress, or anticipating how a dog might react in a new situation. I believe pets are happiest and most confident in their own familiar environments, which is why I prefer to care for them in-home whenever possible. My goal is to keep your pet feeling secure, calm, and cared for at all times.

“Kaylee is amazing! She does such a great job with my puppy and always gives me detailed notes after every walk. I would recommend her to anyone, she is very reliable and sweet!”


About: I bring lifelong pet passion—having been surrounded by pets since childhood—combined with hands-on experience as a groomer’s assistant, where I washed, brushed, and cared for dogs with professional-level attention. That grooming background gives me a keen eye for skin, coat, nails, and ear health, helping prevent discomfort. I’ve also built trust and reliability through early dog-walking gigs as a teen, demonstrating punctuality, responsibility, and genuine care. Today, I deliver one-on-one pet sitting that includes playtime, cuddles, observation, and bringing professionalism, nurturing skills, and peace of mind to every visit. I’m working part-time with a flexible schedule Sunday through Wednesday—available any time, day or night. From Thursday to Saturday, I’m available after 2 PM, and I prefer later visits when possible since I sometimes take early-morning shifts helping friends. That said, I can absolutely adjust to meet your needs anytime—just let me know what works best! I genuinely care and will always do my best to ensure your dog feels loved, safe, and comfortable. I stick to their routine, stay attentive to their needs, and provide plenty of play, cuddle time, and updates to keep you at ease.

About: I will provide your furry family member with a loving environment as I walk or check-in on them. In addition to caring for my own dog and cat, I have taken care of clients’ pets in their home, in my own home, and have volunteered at shelters. I know all the right scratch spots for dogs and cats alike and I’m sure we will get along right away! I also have experience with high-energy, fearful/anxious, senior, and special-needs pets. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry loved ones! I am available 7 days a week with the option for overnight stays. My schedule is flexible, allowing us to easily find a suitable time for pet care. I always prioritize providing a safe, loving, supportive environment for every pet I care for. I always make sure to communicate with pet owners about any special needs their pet may have that could impact their safety.

About: I have 12 years of hands-on experience caring for my own shelter dog, who is now a happy senior. I've learned how to handle everything from playful puppy energy to the gentler needs of older dogs. My pup loves making new friends, so your dog will have a built-in buddy for playtime, walks, and lots of attention. I treat every dog like family — with patience, love, and plenty of tail wags! https://www.rover.com/sit/ryanp03006 For a discount on your first booking! I work during the week but come home during my lunch for potty time for my dog. After work nights are spent on a nice night walk and relaxing with movies and snacks. Typically dog goes out 3/4 times a day for walks/bathroom breaks. In my home, pets get lots of love, playtime, and a cozy, safe environment. I follow their regular routines to help them feel comfortable — from feeding and potty breaks to walks and cuddle time. In a client’s home, I treat your space with respect and keep your pet’s routine as close to normal as possible. Whether it’s play sessions, walks, or quiet time, I make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and cared for every step of the way.

About: While I’m newer to pet sitting, what I bring is genuine enthusiasm, energy, and a deep love for animals. I treat every pet like they’re my own—with patience, attention, and plenty of care. One thing that sets me apart is how much I love walking and exploring new places. I make sure walks are more than just routine—they're little adventures! Whether it’s a quiet trail or a new park, your pet gets a fresh, engaging experience each time. I’m especially gentle with shy or older pets. For me, this doesn’t feel like a job—it’s something I look forward to truly enjoying. I’m currently home for the summer after recently completing my graduate studies, which means I have a very open and flexible schedule. This allows me to give your pet the time, attention, and care they deserve. Whether it’s for a mid-day walk, extended stay, or last-minute visit. Since I’m not juggling a full-time job or school commitments right now, I can easily adapt to your pet’s needs and your routine. I’ve had a dog of my own for nearly a decade, and he’s truly part of the family. His comfort and well-being are always my priority—whether that means matching his energy during playful moments or winding down together while I read on the couch. This balance has taught me how to be in tune with a pet’s needs and moods. When caring for other pets, I bring the same level of attentiveness. I focus on helping them feel at ease in my presence by sticking closely to their usual routine and offering gentle, consistent care. My goal is to make the transition feel seamless, so your pet feels just as comfortable and cared for as they would with you at home.

About: I have owned pets ever since i can remember! My family is a huge animal family, I have owned dogs, cats, chickens, and even a bearded dragon! I currently have 2 dogs and I would love to help others with their pets. I just graduated high school and i’m getting ready to move into college and looking for a fun summer job. I am very available all summer! I have two very friendly dogs who love to play! I have a pool for the dogs to play in and I live super close to a good park for walks!

Alexandra F.
“I would highly recommend Alex for dog walking and/or dog sitting. Before moving to LA, she would pet sit for my cat in Chicago and beyond the usual feeding, watering, and scooping litter, she would also give ample play time to my cat. I always knew if I was gone, my cat Rickie would be just fine when I returned thanks to Alex's care, even though she hates to be alone. Beyond that, she has helped me give my cat pills and trim my cat's nails, 2 things my cat absolutely hates but Alex is great with animals and was always willing to help me when I needed it. Alex is also a great mom to her own pets - I remember when she adopted her dog, Barney, she found him sad, scared, underweight, and with potential injuries in a shelter. She took him to multiple vets to get opinions on the status of his health, and was very diligent in getting him to a healthy weight, and then he even quickly gained some muscle from their walks. In no time at all, he totally transformed and is now a very happy and well-adjusted dog who loves going for longs walks and playing outside thanks to Alex's love and care.”

Kerri H.
“Kerri is, hands down, the most trustworthy and caring person we’ve ever had care for our dog. When we lived in Michigan, she was our go-to house sitter for Eleka.

Any pup would be lucky to have Kerri in their life!”
