About: I’ve been caring for dogs for years, both personally and professionally. I currently have two dogs of my own—Daisy, a playful boxer, and Ollie, a spirited cockapoo. I have worked as a kennel attendant for about a year now as well, where I have cared for dogs of different breeds and sizes. I am confident with feeding routines, administering meds, and giving dogs the structure and love they need. Whether your dog is high-energy, shy, or just needs some extra patience, I’m here to make them feel safe and happy while you’re away! I currently shadow an Oncologist at a local hospital on a flexible schedule, which means I can often adjust my hours as needed. I’m also planning to return to work as a kennel attendant part-time, but I’ll still have plenty of time for pet care. I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that works for both you and your pet! When caring for pet’s in client’s homes, I respect their space and follow all their instructions carefully to maintain consistency for their pet. I make sure to communicate regularly with the owners to update them and address any concerns. My goal is to provide dependable, gentle care that helps pets feel happy and stress-free!

8. Tamara C.
About: I take care of all animals in my care, mine or not. I never yell and I don't abuse any animal. I treat them as my own and I make sure that their tail wags every time that they see me. I am currently watching animals as a part time gig as I have a full time job. House sittings are my most popular but I also have many drop in requests as well. I work full time so unless I am doing a house sitting or the place is close by that I can do a fly by, I am not available in the morning most days except weekends. Your dog is never out of my sight unless I allow they are secure in a crate. Any thing that brings me concern will be immediately brought up with you and I will find any solution I can to help.


9. Jayden Phoenix (They/Them) P.

“Jayden is the best, so kind and attentive and thoughtful! We love seeing all the cute pictures they take, and our two picky cats love Jayden’s care and company.”


10. Tanaijah N.
About: I have loved animals for as long as I can remember. I currently have a cat and a dog. They are my babies! My cat is very chill. She doesn’t really care for others lol. My pup is the opposite. She loves everyone. She wants to play with everyone but she knows her limits. I have 4 years of experience with dogs. Including dog daycare, walking, pet sitting, and giving baths and nail trims. I can train puppies on basic commands like sit, stay, paw, etc. I am currently in school during the morning. So I have plenty of time in the afternoon and evening to take care and love your pup! I have a fenced home with a big backyard and front. So your pup can run around and have enough space for physical play. I do have an energetic playful pup of my own. Who loves to meet new people and other pups. I believe your pet and mines will have so much fun!

About: I have 12 years of experience in loving and doting after fur babies. Experienced in senior care and medication administration. I WFH and own my home. I work from home and have a flexible work schedule. I am able to accommodate your pets needs and host in my home or come to yours. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly mini-pincher to keep your pet company. I have 3 floors of living space and can comfortably and safely host your pet.


14. Rebecca W.
“Rebecca has successfully raised dogs from puppyhood as well as caring for dogs beginning in their adulthood. These dogs have come from breeders and rescue shelters, so she’s confident around all personalities and life stages of dog! Rebecca patiently acclimated a very skittish and fearful dog to life with people and now he’s absolutely thriving - I highly recommend her for dog sitting.”


15. Alexa B.
“WONDERFUL SITTER!! Alexa has been my pet sitter for a little over a year and she has been wonderful. She is great as a house sitter and very respectful of what your pet needs! One of my two pups is reactive and she's always been very patient and has handled her well (45lbs and a leash puller on occasion).”


16. Nariah B.

“Nariah was great! Took great care of my jazmine and even brought in a perishable package that was delivered and put it away for me. I mistakenly put the wrong address on my reservation and Nariah was understanding and still was able to help me out for the weekend. Will definitely use her again.”


17. Katiri S.

“Was great and patiently cared for my older dog. Would recommend her to anyone. Thanks!!!”

I have a cat of my own and I always make sure she’s happy and healthy! I like to take walks 2-3 times a day so I don’t mind making sure your fur baby has had plenty of potty breaks.

I also love taking walks and having outside time. They deserve to have fun and enjoy their day too!
