About: Experience with reactive dogs. Have worked with abused and neglected dogs as well. Caring of all pups and will treat like my own. I have also worked with dog behavioralists before so I’m capable to handle all types of dogs. I currently have a lot of flexibility within my days to walk, check-in, and play with anyone’s pups! Mornings, afternoons, and evenings can work for me most of the time. I care and respect any boundaries you put in place in your own home. I will follow all directions left for me. I can walk your dog, crate them, play with them, feed them, etc.

About: I am responsible reliable and trust worthy not only with your pets but in your home. My experience with multiple dog breeds over the years have provided me the tools needed to care and love on all breeds from Germans and pitties to yorkies and chihuahuas.. I’ve loved and worked with them all I have a love for animals like no other . I have tons of spare time during the days when most people need the extra help. My job allows me flexibility with my schedule so I’m open to spending my time hanging out with fur babies all day I live in Tommy’s house . I’m also his support hooman. Tommy is king of the castle with all the kisses and loves . I’ll love yours like it’s mine

About: I have plenty of experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and development level. I have grown up caring for dogs of my own. As an adult, I volunteered for a local humane society, caring for many dogs while preparing them for adoption. I’ve cared for senior dogs with health conditions and puppy’s that requires extra attention. I have been a foster mom to dogs of various ages in recent times and have two very friendly pups of my own that absolutely love other dogs. I work from home full-time, so I am available to give constant care and companionship to your pet while you are away. Lots of snuggles and potty breaks throughout the day to keep your pet content. I have a fenced in backyard that allows less active pets to soak up the sun. I live in an extremely pet friendly neighborhood that has plenty of trails for long walks for your pet.

“Breanna is a good communicator. She also was quick to respond when I texted her. It was so nice to be able to take a day trip and know that our pup was taken care of.”


About: Dogs have been part of my family since I can remember. I can’t imagine a life without them. I first started dog sitting for friends and family at a young age (13-19). While focusing on my career I took a break from dog sitting, before picking it back up to support close friends in NYC who always needed a hand - whether that be dog sitting for the weekend or popping in to check on their pup while they were at work. During my 5 years in NY I helped out with my in-law’s 6 dogs and now living in Tampa, I’ve adopted my own rescue pup. Maple is 2 years old and fully trained by me. She’s potty trained, knows commands such as sit, stay, lay down and even some fun tricks like high five and spin move. I’ve been working remotely for the past 2 years allowing me plenty of time to care for your pup! I’m also available at weekends and holidays. I have a large fenced in yard allowing plenty of outdoor play time or lazing in the sun. Additionally if preferred I can crate my dog, Maple, to allow for separate play times. Please note I only have one dog, Maple. On my profile there are two dogs listed, my sister-in-law’s dog Willow does not live with me.

“Cynthia is the absolute best dog sitter we have ever had! She was incredibly communicative with what's going on while we were away and made us feel extremely at ease that our pets were well taken care of! Could not ask for a better experience and if you need someone to watch out for your pets, Cynthia should be top of your list!”


About: I rescued my first dog off the side of the street when I was In college! I’ll love your pet like I love My own! I’ve taken care of dogs since I was A teenager and have trained several dogs in both Dallas and NJ - basic commands and basic social etiquette. I work in higher education so I’m free all summer long to give your pet the best care possible! My availability is open until mid august and then I only work till noon Mondays through Thursdays so I’m very much at home and hanging with the pups! I have A 6 year old black lab in house- so your pup will have someone to play with (and a crate full of bark box toys!) your dog will have a chance to utilize the turf dog park in my community, go on 1.5 mile walks, and have many potty breaks as I’m home all day and night! Marco is easy going and likes all dogs - he even shares the bed! I have A fenced in turf yard with space for the animals to relax. I live In a townhome. Please note- I live in a community with breed restrictions therefore, I am Unable to take in certain dogs for boarding (I love Them all, but have to follow the rules!)

“Isabel was wonderful with our Holli! She provided us with pictures and a summary of each walk. Holli was excited to see her each day. We will definitely use Isabel again!”


About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have always had a deep love for all animals. From cuddly lap dogs to energetic adventurers, I understand that every pup has their own unique personality and needs. I cared for my sweet Shih Tzu for 15 wonderful years until he passed in March 2025, and trained my high-energy golden retriever who’s now 4 years old. My own experience has taught me how to be patient, attentive, and in tune with dogs at every stage of life. Whether your pup needs a calm, comforting presence or someone to help burn off some energy, I’m here to make them feel safe and loved. I treat every dog like family and can’t wait to meet yours! I have a flexible work schedule so I’m available for week day drop-in’s, walks, etc. any time of day. I also have availability most nights and weekends. I have a fenced in backyard that my 4 year old Golden loves to play and chase lizards in. I also have 4 chickens that are securely contained inside of a chicken coop.

About: I just moved from Greece where I had my big German Shepard, I trained him and cared for him. Now I live with my wife and we have our pup, oia. I also had cats and know how to care for them as well! I LOVE animals and will always treat them like my own! Someone will always be home on the weekends all day! We work during the week but can still board your pets if they are okay being home alone for a bit. We can also walk, do home visits, or doggy daycare past 5 PM on weekdays. No matter what, we will try to be as flexible as possible for your pet's needs! I have a LARGE fenced yard and one dog to keep your fur baby company. I respect animal’s space and personality, and will do my best to keep them comfortable in our home or yours.

About: Hi fellow dog lovers!! I have been caring and watching for dogs my whole life. Any breed, size and temperament I have experience with. My husband and I have two mini dachshunds who are both friendly. We go for tons of walks and have playtime and would love to give your pup lots of snuggles. I am able to be with your pet 24/7 if you book with me. At the moment we are only able to accept fully potty trained and small/ medium dogs with medium/low energy. We also have a fully fenced in private yard. I do require a meet and greet at our home if stay is over 2 days. ♥️ ♥️ ♥️ ♥️ ♥️ I am a stay at home dog mom so I have lots of flexibility and can be available for your pup at any time of day! We can accommodate with many dogs! we have dog ramps and lots of outdoor space! We have a fully fenced in private yard that has lots of room for zoomies!

About: First time in my life I have not owned a dog, I have been a go to for friends when they need a sitter for years. I would love to share my love for animals with your critters : ) I’ve owned aggressive dogs, nervous/insecure dogs, had between 1 and 6 in the house at a time, raised pups from as young as 8 weeks, love training and am happy to continue working on whatever it is you need from fun/cute tricks to muzzle/crate training. I work from home every day but Thursdays, my office is dog friendly and usually has 2-5 dogs each day. If your dog is more comfortable in an enclosed office I can take one but typically work in the open office setting where they can be free to visit coworkers and play with other pups or be tied to my desk to keep a closer eye. Can also stay home most of the time if you are more comfortable with them staying in my home. Love a morning walk to start my day, enclosed backyard so they can have quick bathroom access whenever needed. In my home pets are welcome to hang on my bed next to my desk while I work and look out the window, welcome on the couch or space for a crate. Whatever is most comfortable for your pet. Pretty typical routine, I work 9-6 with an hour for lunch whenever is convenient. Usually up around 7am and winding down by 10-11pm

About: I've grown up around pets and taken care of pets from friends, neighbors, and family. I am dedicated to treating your pets as my own! I currently take college classes online and work part-time, so I can ensure that I can provide your pets with whatever time they may need. I have had pets my whole life, so I am patient and consistent, and definitely not a stranger to playtime, cuddles, walks, baths, and feeding schedules.


About: I work during the week Monday-Friday, but don’t leave for work in the morning until 8:15, and I have flexibility to be home for lunch in the late morning/early afternoon. I leave work everyday at 5, and only work about 15-20 minutes away. I’m off on the weekends, and am more of a home-body, so have all of the time in the world to love yours pup! I love puppy snuggles, and have experience with caring for and dog-sitting our family dogs. My parents have 2 English bull dogs named Chesty and Bubbles that I absolutely love and have cared for. This breed requires a lot of love and attention, and even the occasional drool rag! My boyfriend also has a chocolate lab Niko that I love as if my very own. I think I have the dog-watching skills to care for just about any breed! Looking forward to caring for your beloved pup! -dog lover

Not only is she an awesome dog parent to her two dogs at home but she has taken my 65-pound pitbull on multiple occasions and made him feel right at home even though he has anxiety.
