“Sam was great! He was by far the best dog sitter we have ever had! We really appreciate him for taking such good care of our dogs while we were on vacation. He contacted us several times every day and sent us many pictures of them. He also left the house in perfect condition and was very nice to have watered the flowers for us, too. We will request for him to sit for us again. We most definitely do highly recommend him!!”


About: I have over 15 years of taking care of dogs, cats and other pets. I am able to give medications, do some training and give your pets some love while you are away. I have four dogs of my own and love all breeds of dogs. I have owned cats, birds, reptiles and small animals as well. Doggie daycare is always fun and includes water play pools, ball pit, fetching, playing with other dogs and swimming in a pool (if they like to swim) I can give medications if needed and do some small training exercises for a small additional cost. I love all breeds and have no breed restrictions. We also accept dogs that haven't been spayed or neutered yet, but they wont be allowed to play with dogs of the other sex.
About: I’ve grown up taking care of many animals. I have 7 doggies and 2 cats most of them being rescues. I occasionally dog sit for my neighbors. I’m currently working a part time job so I have lots of time to take care of your fur baby! I am available any day of the week. I do not plan to board any animals just to be safe because I have too many doggies at home. but I love every dog like it’s my own and will make sure I am there for all its needs.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and will take care of yours with love. I love dogs and cats and have 4 dogs and cats of my own. I’m available on weekends. I have a full time job during the week but my weekends are available for you at your home is the best for ne I have pet friendly dogs and two cats in my home. But I’d prefer to be in your home until I get mine set up.
About: (ADDITIONAL DOG RATE IS CHEAPER THAN WHAT IS LISTED) I truly treat every dog like my own, with patience, consistency, and love. I have experience caring for energetic puppies, senior dogs, and even anxious pups who don’t usually warm up to others. I’m calm and confident around dogs that might seem nervous or reactive, and I take the time to earn their trust at their pace. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or quiet company, I make sure every dog feels safe, understood, and cared for while you’re away. I’m a student who takes mostly online classes, which means my schedule is super flexible and I’m home a lot. That gives me plenty of time for walks, playtime, feeding, and just being present with your pups. I love building a routine that keeps them happy and comfortable. Whether that’s early morning walks, afternoon cuddles, or bedtime check-ins. Your pets will never feel rushed or overlooked! Whether I’m watching your pets in my home or yours, I always keep their comfort and routine a top priority. I live in a one story home with a huge backyard and pool, perfect for exercise, potty breaks, and a little fun between naps! I do prefer staying at your home so your dog is never stressed.
About: What sets me apart is my deep, hands-on experience with pets who need extra care and attention. I cared for my dog Maya, who was blind and diabetic, and I was responsible for administering her insulin and making sure she stayed safe, comfortable, and happy. I also cared for my soul dog Marcello, who developed anxiety in his later years and needed patience, consistency, and a calm environment. Both of my dogs were seniors who lived long, full lives (15 and 17), so I’m very comfortable with senior care, medication routines, and recognizing subtle changes in behavior or health. I’ve also fostered multiple dogs over the years, including a puppy, so I’m familiar with different temperaments, energy levels, and basic training needs. Because I work from home, your pet will get plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day—not just quick check-ins. I’ve had animals my entire life, and while I can’t have one of my own right now, caring for others’ pets truly brings me joy. I treat every animal like family and aim to create a calm, loving, and reliable environment while you’re away. I’m currently working remotely with a great deal of flexibility! I have no set meetings or calls that would conflict with a pet care schedule and can plan accordingly to accomodate your pets needs. I am unable to take your pets to my home due to lease regulations but can come watch your animals in the comfort of your own home. I would defer yo you as the pet owner to guide me on your pets personality, likes and dislikes and get to know them to ensure top notch care!
