Dawn was terrific! She fell in love with my needy cat, and followed through on everything asked for. And, she does seem to enjoy her time with pets! :-)

About: I wanted a dog my whole life but my parents weren't pet people. I finally got my own dog as an adult when I also had two toddlers. It was way more work than I thought it would be, but training my puppy and watching him grow and teaching my kids about caring for a dog was so incredibly fulfilling! I loved learning about training and dog behavior and psychology and learned so much! I love all animals and especially love dogs and would love to share that love with your dog too!! I am a full time stay at home mom so my schedule is very flexible. Two of my kids are in school all day and I have a 2 year old who is home with me all day. I spend most of my time at home, with the occasional outings and errand running. Because I have a flexible schedule, I can fit your dog's schedule easily into mine. I can do potty breaks and walks whenever necessary and I live near a couple parks with dog runs that I like to take my dog to, so I could easily bring your dog as well. Though I am busy with 3 kids, I'm never too busy to love and care for extra pets! I have a fenced yard where your dog can go out for potty breaks. It is not a huge yard, but it is safe with rocks and turf where my dog uses the bathroom. My dog is inside for pretty much the whole day so your dog would be with him inside as well. I do have 3 kids, so your dog needs to be ok with small children, but they have all grown up with a dog and know how to be kind and respectful to dogs.

About: Hi, My Name is Rae! Our family consists of myself, my husband, and our fur babies; our 2 pups and our pet rabbit. I have certifications in Animal Training and Pet Sitting. As well as Animal Psychology, Veterinary Support Assistant, and Animal Grooming. I could not imagine a life without pets, growing up with pets of all kinds, I have a deep love and understanding of the patience, time, and love that goes into any pet and how they complete a home. I look forward to meeting any new pet and sharing my time with them, getting to know who they are. If you would like to learn more about me, check out my website: whiskerkiss (dot) com I work full-time, partial days in office during the week and partial days during the week at home. I have standard weekends at home. Evenings I am at home. For boarding, I have a enclosed/fenced dog area. With seasonal shade cover over a portion of the dog area. It is directly attached to my patio and both the dog area and patio are contained with tall fencing to mitigate other animals from entering the area. We do slow introductions with any guest pets and my own pups as I know it can be overwhelming at first for each party. My pups are very friendly with other pets and love to run around and play once everyone gets acclimated.

Myra is great! I needed someone to give my boys a break from their crates while at work, so the drop-in visits are perfect for that! She took great care of my dogs. Would definitely recommend, and will use again in the future if needed! ?

Victoria was awesome! She was very responsive and on time. She sent a lot of photos and a nice summary of how Mia was doing and how well she was eating and so on. She also went the extra mile and brought in some packages that were left on our doorstep while we were away! Definitely will use her again!

About: I am an avid animal lover and love my own dogs more than I like most people! I have watched and walked dogs for neighbors, friends, and family members for at least ten years as a side job and just a hobby. I volunteer with a local animal shelter and walk their dogs at least once a week, and it’s the best time. I love interacting with animals and getting to be a part of their day. I work remotely, so I have my days and nights to walk, visit, and sit with your pet. They are my priority when I am with them and I love giving them all of the attention. My own two dogs have very different schedules. My 15 year old goes out potty at least every two to three hours and enjoys his short, but refreshing strolls. My 9 year old hates mornings and won’t probably leave the bedroom until much later. Her and I will go at least a couple miles on one of our walks and even then she’s not tired our! In my clients home, I always try to leave the home the way it is found after playing with your pet. I follow instructions to the letter when it comes to pet sitting, as I have had to care for senior dogs with special dietary and medical needs. If I have questions, I will always ask.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and understand the responsibility that comes with caring for them. I currently walk my own dog several miles a day, often totaling a couple hundred miles each month. I’m comfortable handling large breeds, high-energy dogs, and maintaining steady, structured walks. As an Army veteran, I bring reliability, discipline, and consistency to every visit. I take pride in being punctual, dependable, and respectful of your home. I understand that trust is everything when someone is caring for your dog, and I don’t take that lightly. For friendly, social dogs, I also offer the option of bringing my well-mannered Sheepadoodle, Curly, along for walks at no extra charge. He’s great with people and other dogs and can provide positive companionship and added exercise. This is always optional and only done with your approval after a proper introduction to ensure a good fit. Whether it’s an exercise-focused walk or a drop-in visit, your dog will be treated with patience, structure, and genuine care. Curly is with me almost 100% of the time — he’s truly part of my daily routine and always close by. We walk every day, and I make sure he gets consistent exercise, structure, and attention. He’s on a Hill’s Science Diet prescription food due to urinary tract issues, so I’m very strict about his diet to prevent kidney stones and keep him healthy. Managing his care has made me very attentive to routines, feeding schedules, and health monitoring. Because of that, I understand how important consistency is. During walks, I keep dogs on a secure leash and harness, monitor them closely for traffic, other dogs, or hazards, and adjust pace to each dog’s comfort and energy level. At home, I supervise interactions with Curly carefully, ensure doors and gates are always closed, and separate dogs when needed to maintain a calm, safe environment. I provide daily walks, structured routine, and plenty of attention. I follow each owner’s feeding schedule carefully and stick strictly to any dietary instructions, as I understand how important that is from managing my own dog Curly’s prescription diet.

We just wrapped Mina’s third booking with August and I have no notes- as always he was reliable, communicative, patient with our rescue bb and kept her safe. This trip however had some exciting new developments- our little pitty is slow to warm up to people and it was evident in the photos and notes that she has grown to trust August after just three stays! She also showed significantly less anxiety when we returned, giving this helicopter parents much relief. August was also great about following up to make sure we made it home safely, ensuring Mina wouldn’t be without care. As always, he’s been incredible to work with!

About: I’ve lived with dogs and cats my entire life. Since I was 12, it’s been my responsibility to take care of our English Setter. This began with me helping to train him. My role was to reinforce the lessons taught at the PetSmart classes. I’ve regularly walked, bathed, and taken to the vet our dog as well. I love animals of all kinds and care a lot about giving them the loving attention they deserve. I currently work part time 6 days a week, with Sundays off. I work from home, and regularly have mornings and early afternoons completely available. I have more than enough time for several appointments just about every day of the week. At the moment I do not own any pets, as my landlord does not allow it. I am unable to provide any services that would require my home. But I’ve lived with and cared for both dogs and cats my entire life, with great regularly since I was 12. I know what I’m doing when it comes to our furry companions. I’d love to provide walks, visits, and any other services I can.

About: My name is Yolanda Patricia. I understand that most of us pet owners love our little ones as part of our family and the importance for a reliable, loving, caring nanny who can nurse and care for pets. My big love for all kinds of house pets has brought me to the desire to be a pet caregiver while owners are away for work, vacations or owner not being able to provide care for the pet in that moment. I have a lifetime experience with pets since throughout my life I owned and cared for dogs, cats, reptiles and birds. Certified dog walker from IAP career college. Worked as a dog groomer for PetSmart from 2002 to 2006. Dog walker in the year 2002 in Dallas, Texas. I'm currently working as a care giver on Friday Saturday and Sunday. This schedule opens a 4 day window for me to take care of pets. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday are available days when I can fit your pets in my schedule for potty breaks, medications, meal time and dog walking. When I come in the first thing is to make sure pets are fine by observing their behavior, guide them to their potty break or play time, check mail, lights in the house whether is day or night, check door locks, make sure pets have a clean area, food and water.

Lisa was awesome from the moment we met her. She came prepared to take notes on the needs of our dogs and asked great questions about our expectations of our dogs. She stayed in contact with us during our vacation which put our minds at ease that our girls were safe and being well taken care of. Our girls looked so happy in all the photos she sent us. Thank you Lisa, we so appreciate you!

Desirea was exactly what we were looking for — someone to come check on our cat, give her some love, attention, and play time, and feed her in the morning. She even was willing to come over and meet me and my cat ahead of time to get to know us. She sent us pictures and was very easy to communicate with the whole time. We’ll definitely reach back out to her the next time we’re headed out of town!
