About: I have experience with dogs of all kinds. One thing that separates myself from other dog walkers is that I treat each pet how I would treat my own and I treat my own like my kids. My goal is to provide the same care for your dogs as I expect for mine. Pet care is a major part of my daily and weekly routine since I own a dog walking/sitting business. I am almost always available to meet my clients needs for their furry companions. The only times when I am not available is when I am coaching basketball. Unfortunately, I do not care for pets at my home. However, when caring for pets in your home I will keep them on the exact routine as they are accustomed to to make them as comfortable as possible.
“Owen was fantastic! He communicated well and took such great care of our sweet pup. He also took immaculate care of the house. We already have him booked for another trip. We are grateful to have found him - our pup loves him!”
About: I love cats, dogs- pretty much all animals ! We've had dogs all throughout my childhood and I absolutely am in love with them. My husband and i adopted our first ever cat in 2020 and I’ve been in love with cats ever since. We even adopted a one eyed cat in 2022. I also have beagle and shih Tzu mix. I’ve had pets pretty much all my life and am very responsible. I work from home, so that means I’m pretty flexible through the week and with last minute notices. I always prefer some type of notice, as I do work full time. I am always happy to keep your fur babies company and give them the best care needed! I know they’re just like another family member.
“Anamaria did an amazing job with Barry! I will definitely be using her again! She took him on multiple walks a day and to several parks. Barry had such a good time with her and he was totally worn out by the end of the days. She sent lots of picture updates too! I highly recommend using her if you need a sitter and she was very flexible with my schedule changing.”
“Melissa was great and easy to communicate! She spent lots of time with the pets and sent lots of pictures. She did all of the extra things and even made sure the house was tidy for us to come home to!”
About: Hi! I’m Gianna — a lifelong animal lover with a dream of becoming a veterinarian. I’ve grown up around dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities, so I’m confident with everything from playful puppies to senior sweethearts. I offer flexible availability, including walks, drop-ins, overnights, and plenty of cuddle time. Whether your pup needs exercise, company, or just a loving presence while you’re away, I’ll treat them like family. Animals are my passion, and your pet’s comfort and safety always come first! I’m currently a flight attendant but I usually only do day trips so I’m always available after or before work. I know my schedule a head of time so that will never be an issue. I’ve grown up always having dogs and cats but since moving out I don’t have any. So I currently don’t have any animals as of now.

I pay attention to any eating habits or any specials steps your pet needs including medication handling.

I have access to a dog park and have two water bowls that refill itself so no pup gets too thirsty and always keep a stock of treats 😊

About: I am currently booking for 4th of July, & Labor Day. Plan ahead! I can’t do boarding I can be available for house sitting but it also depends on travel, because if I can’t get enough to travel and stay because I have dogs of my own, I would need to leave momentarily keep that in mind. I don’t mind staying but dogs need to come with and I have 3 1 of which is a dog aggressive dog, so I have to keep her separate from other dogs that are new to her. But all my other dogs are fine drop ins please be specific I am charging $15 for a meet and greet fee I will explain later, but I’m most willing to do any breed, just ask no aggressive dogs (with people) and if you back out during the stay or drop in I will charge an extra $100-200 depending on how many animals if you have more than a few animals expect it to be a little pricey. I love dogs and provide the best quality of care like they are my own. But I just want to cover all the basis before you book I am currently working as a part time rover sitter. So I may or may not have available times as of now I’ve just selected available so people can message me I take care of dogs like they are my own, I love them like they are mine, if I want my own dogs fed, let out etc, but I don’t expect someone to be there right at the time, and understand they have lives too. I give them lots of love and love cuddling with dogs and playing fetch, or something with them, I do the necessities potty if needed every 4-8 hours depends on the age of the dog too and the service
