Zoey is the most dedicated, attentive, caring, and intelligent dog owner I’ve ever known. I’ve seen Zoey continually expand her knowledge of her own dog’s bread to ensure their happiness and wellbeing is not only met but exceeded. As a fellow dog owner my self, I can assure you there is no one better to entrust with your beloved pet with.

About: My family has had animals running around for all of my life! Friends and family have relied on me to help watch, walk, and love dogs and cats! My family has 2 dogs we got in 2020 and 4 cats we have had for years! I am excellent with cats and understand that some need patience, time, and space to warm up to you! I love running around with dogs and getting their adrenaline going but I'm also a big sucker for some puppy cuddles! **Availability! Although I am in school Mon-Fri, I do have some availability! With the way my school schedule is built I have plenty of room for flexibility! My unavaible times for things like dog walking or drop-ins are as follows: [Mon/Wed] 2:00 pm -2:50 pm [Tues/Thurs] 9:00 am - 10:20am I have a fenced yard with enough space for your pup to run around and a reliable dog park around the corner at Spring Canyon Park! I have no problem with putting your pup in a crate or giving your pet any medication they may need! I love to go on long walks and have your pup guide me with all the sniffies they desire (avoiding unfamiliar objects of course) but I also love to just sit and hangout if your pet prefers! If any pet has a disability or a disadvantage I have the patience to take it slow if they need it!

About: I’ve been a proud dog owner for four years, caring for two amazing dogs that have taught me the importance of patience and unconditional love! Additionally, I recently worked at the Humane Society, where I had the opportunity to care for and work with a variety of dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I regularly walked and interacted with the dogs, ensuring they received the exercise, care, and socialization they needed. I am especially passionate about working with shy dogs who need a little extra TLC to come out of their shell ♥️ I currently have a very flexible part time job. This gives me the ability to adjust my schedule, which allows me to provide consistent care for your pets. Whether it's walking dogs, feeding, administering medication, or simply spending quality time with them, I can tailor my availability to meet your pet's needs :) When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’ll make sure to follow their usual routine as closely as possible to keep things familiar for the pet. I also maintain open communication with the owner, providing updates and making sure their pets’ needs are met. My goal is always to create a comfortable, stress-free experience for both the pets and their owners!

About: I grew up taking care of dogs, big and small. While I can’t have a dog due to my current living situation, I still occasionally dog sit for family and friends. I also have some experience in giving medications throughout the day. During the week I work a pretty consistent 8-4, but on those days I can do a little in the mornings and a decent amount in the evenings. During the weekends, I’m pretty wide open and can give more time to pet/ house sitting. I’m quite flexible when it comes to adapting to the specific needs of a pet. My home is currently unable to board other pets beside my cat unfortunately.

We had such a wonderful experience with Claire! She stayed with our pets for a week and went above and beyond. Her communication was fantastic—she kept us updated daily with messages and lots of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. She cared for our dogs as if they were her own, showing incredible patience and love. She even handled giving them medication with ease and did such a great job. It’s clear she genuinely cares for animals, and we were so happy with how well she cared for ours. We would absolutely love to have her sit for us again!

Bailey was a great pet care provider for our two dogs. Not only did she take care of two dogs, one of them was a Great Dane puppy. I was a little nervous with a sitter taking care of the puppy, because she is a lot to handle and quite big/strong for her size:) However, Bailey listened to all my instruction on how to handle her/care for her and did a great job with them. She was only with us for a couple months (due to moving), but during her time with the dogs they adapted very well and were much happier dogs in the evening when I got home from work. She kept me informed after each of her visits, through notes or text. And anything I had ask her to do, she did with no problems. Bailey also was available last minute (asked her the day of) with watching the dogs for an evening, so she is very flexible and willing to help out whenever. Having her let the dogs out during the day helped with my stress and the dogs. I would high recommend and wish we had another sitter like Bailey in our new city.

Kinsi is a wonderful pet sitter who takes excellent care of our furry baby. Right off the bat when we first met her we got an excellent first impression. She is very warm and friendly and was great with our dog. When we came home after our weekend away our dog was relaxed and happy.

Jonnie was an amazing dog walker for my pup, Gemma! She walked Gemma for five days while I was out, and I could tell my dog absolutely loved her—she was always excited for their walks. Jonnie was easy to work with, very responsive, and consistently checked in with updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker!

About: Growing up with dogs, I have such an affinity for the special beings that they are! I will treat your pup as if they were my own, and love going on long walks/runs with them. I live in Ocean Beach right next to dog beach, so if your dog is social I love taking them over there to play! If not, there is a long walking trail right by my house where we can go as well. If you’re looking for someone to give your pup lots of cuddles, attention, and exercise then I’m your girl! I’m currently working part time so I’ll have plenty of time with your pups! I only work for 4 hour days so that’s the longest they’d be left home alone. While I don’t have a yard, I live right by dog beach and another long walking trail where they can get plenty of exercise. Being that I don’t have a yard, I’ll be sure to take them out frequently for potty breaks.
