12. Anthony N.
About: I pride myself on being reliable and detail-orientated, especially when it comes to caring for other people's doggos! I completely understand, similar to people, dogs have different preferences and needs when it comes to feeling loved and safe. I'm very attentive with small nuances, so that it helps me create a stronger bond with your fur family! Rest assured, any other quirks and requests can be discussed in further detail before I meet your pets as well. I'm currently a student taking online classes for nursing full-time, so 24/7 care should be expected with your dog! I'm usually up by 9 AM and usually go to sleep by midnight, so it's really easy for me to work my schedule around your dog's schedule! I live in a pet-friendly condo/apt and I'm located just 2 minutes away from a large, fenced-in dog park. There are 2 dedicated dog relief areas at the condo as well, so potty breaks are very early accessible. I always try to keep the home clean and clutter free, so there's plenty of space for your doggo! If you ever feel the need to check in, your pet worries are just a phone call or video chat away.
13. Adrienne M.
“Adrienne has cared for my dog many times over many years. She is incredibly responsible, reliable, and will go above and beyond to care for a dog. She loves dogs, and they love her. I have seen more than one lost dog run straight to her without hesitation. She is warm, friendly, and easy going. I highly recommend Adrienne - your dog may end up loving her more than, well, as much as, you.”
14. Emily D.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, though have started my pet sitting business five years ago. I am able to watch your home/apartment while you’re away as well. I am a property manager. I typically take one dog/cat at a time, so your animal will get one on one attention. Pet sitting is incredibly rewarding. I have a flexible full time job. My work schedule during the week varies/I work from home. I can work around your needs. I am also free most mornings, evenings and weekends. I only watch one pet at a time, so your pet will get personalized attention. I have a very large park within a half block of me, ready for play. I am able to admit medication and will follow any instructions provided. I’ve worked with young puppy and can continue training too.

16. Miriam M.
“Miriam was fantastic, she took great care of my dog. We received pictures and videos from each visit which was greatly appreciated. She answered questions timely and will be reaching out again next time we are in need.”

20. Christopher C.
About: I’ve taken care of pets my whole life starting out with cats, and now with adopting my own dog, who I couldn’t imagine not having in my life. My experience with caring for animals will ensure that your pet will be taken care of as if they were my own. I love animals, I’m here to spread that with your furry friends. I currently work a hybrid schedule, Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday I work from home. Tuesdays and Fridays I work in the office. I do work close by to my home in case of an emergency. I have a dog myself so if your pet has separation anxiety or anything of that nature they will have the company of my little guy to comfort them. I am and can be flexible with my schedule to accommodate those pets with certain needs. So far my schedule has no impact on the care or attention I will provide to your pets. I live in an apartment with my own dog. There will be lots of playing with toys and frequent walks through out the time they will be here. I will give your pets the same care and love that I give to my own, they will never feel out of place in my home.
