About: I grew up with a Rottweiler and a Pitbull and currently have a Labradoodle who I have trained. I am able to train basic commands and walking skills. I have been pet sitting since early high school for all sorts of pets! I am not afraid to get my hands dirty and play around with your fur babies! Looking to do this full time/daily! I am available from 6am to 10pm. My schedule is extremely flexible and can accommodate any time of the week. I care for your pets by showing them affection and admiration while still keeping boundaries and rules in place. This means lots of belly rubs, and the right amount of corrective actions when needed.
About: I have years of hands-on experience with dogs and cats of all ages and personalities. High-energy dogs get real exercise thanks to my competitive soccer background, while puppies, seniors, and shy cats get patience and a routine that matches what they know from home. I work from home Mondays and Fridays, so pets get genuine attention and company, not just a quick check-in. Expect photo updates, fast communication, and a happy pet when you walk in the door. Pet care fits naturally into my week. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays, so pets staying with me those days have company from morning to night, with walks, play sessions, and meals built right into my day. On weekends I'm home and fully available, which makes Friday through Sunday stays easy and stress-free. My schedule is consistent week to week, so your pet gets a reliable routine: morning walk or feeding, midday play and attention, and evening wind-down time. I'm an active person, so daily exercise is never skipped. In my home, pets are part of the family. Dogs get multiple daily walks, playtime, and constant company since I work from home Mondays and Fridays and I'm around all weekend. I keep your pet's feeding schedule and routine exactly the same as at home so the stay feels familiar. Cats get a quiet, consistent setup with their litter, food, and favorite spots. In your home, I follow your routine exactly: feeding, walks, litter, and anything else your pet needs, plus photo updates every visit so you know they're doing great.

About: Hi, I’m Corrine! 🐾 Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always brought me so much joy. I grew up with dogs and even had one by my side all throughout my college years, so I know firsthand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pup. I have plenty of experience with both energetic puppies and gentle senior dogs, and I always make sure to adapt to their unique needs—whether that means lots of playtime, patient training reinforcement, or slow strolls.

I always prioritize their safety by keeping a close eye on their environment, making sure food, water, and any medications are given on schedule, and sticking to their normal feeding and walking times.

Madison was absolutely excellent! I caught them running around the backyard and playing together, and it was clear that Jett was having the best time. It’s such a relief to know he is in such active and caring hands. I can’t wait to have her back to walk and play with Jett again—highly recommend!

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
