About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I had my own dog at 14. Only way my mom would let me have a dog is if I took care of it all by myself. It was her way of teaching me about responsibilities as a kid I am a professional boxer. All I do is go to the gym and be bored the rest of the day. I’ve loved animals since I was born. So I decided to use the rest of the time I have out of the gym taking care of animals. It’s a really easy job for me because I love it! The apartment has a big dog playground and I am also home a lot so I will be with your dog most of the time. I love playing with and walking dogs so your dog will get plenty of exercise. I also play the guitar and love playing for animals. Very therapeutic.


14. Skylar M.
“Skylar has watched my pets numerous times over the past several years and never disappoints. She is very punctual and friendly. A big animal lover who treats pets like they are her own. On top of taking care of your animals, she does a little housekeeping too 😉. You will not be disappointed with the services, Skylar provides.”


15. Stefanie S.
“Stefanie was so great with my Dalmatian! He’s still a puppy and he can be hyper, but that didn’t bother her at all. She’s used to big dogs and was super loving and understanding with my big baby! Stefanie’s communication was great and I’ll definitely use her again!”


16. Diana L.

“Diana was a great host.Great sitter.She made me feel comfortable leaving my dogs there. And her children loved spending time with Fuck”

As someone with a highly flexible schedule, pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily and weekly routine.

I adapt my schedule to accommodate their needs, ensuring they receive the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. Whether it's a spontaneous trip to the dog park or an impromptu cuddle session on the couch, I cherish every moment spent with my pets and am committed to providing them with the best care possible, no matter what the day holds. Living in luxury student apartments with a plethora of amenities and having dog parks/playground allows me to offer exceptional pet care services both in my home and at my client's homes.

With access to on-site dog parks and walking trails, I ensure that furry guests staying with me receive plenty of exercise and outdoor adventures.

About: I became a dog mom when I was 9 years old and got my first fur baby, Bubbles. It was my responsibility to take care of her: clean her kennel, give her food and water, take her on daily walks, go to vet appointments, and, most importantly, give her lots of attention and love. I give my fur baby all the things she needs to live happily as a senior day who is turning 11 this September 2024. And I would love for you to communicate with me any of your pet's personal needs like medication, diet restrictions, and more. It will be my pleasure to accommodate your pet's needs. Overall, the basic services I provide are feeding, walks, cleaning kennels, and petting, I'm currently working full-time, but I have a link to a spreadsheet where you can view my schedules and see when I'm available upon request. I only offer service at my client's home primary because I'm a college student who lives in an apartment with other students. So it's best for me to come by your residence to drop by for any other services you might need. Just message me, and we can work something out regarding the services you seek. Overall, the basic services I provide are feeding, walks, cleaning kennels, and petting, as well as any other services like grooming, administrating medication, and other special services, such as follow-up with me.
