About: I’m a cat mom currently working from home and would love for your pets to keep us company. With 15 years of experience caring for dogs and cats for friends, neighbors, and pets of my own, I’m familiar with routines—feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, and showering your pet with lots of love and attention ❤️🐾 I have a 1-year-old British Shorthair, so I’m very familiar with cat care, litter box routines, and reading body language. I’ll send regular photo updates so you can relax while you’re away. I also speak Mandarin :) My schedule is flexible and I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and boardings on weekdays and weekends, including mornings and evenings. I’m dependable with timing, quick to respond, and I’ll keep you updated throughout the visit. Safety comes first. I follow your instructions closely, keep pets secure on leash, and double-check doors and gates. I’m careful with feeding rules, routines, and home guidelines, and I keep your space tidy. I’ll send updates and contact you right away if anything seems off.

About: I have grown up with dogs most of my life and have experience taking care of cats, rabbits, turtles, and fish. My experience with dogs includes: training, dog walking, and administering medication. I have a 5 1/2 year old mini double doodle named Kota and trained him myself. I pride myself on providing quality animal care and want to make sure your pet is safe and happy during their time with me. Currently I am taking a sabbatical and have plenty of time to take care of your pup! Depending on your preference and your dog's needs, I can provide plenty of physical activity and mental stimulation. I am happy to take care of your pet in your home and do daily walks. Please let me know if your pet is comfortable around other dogs. If they're not, I can easily leave my dog at home while I focus on your pet's needs.

About: Hi! I’m a big animal lover and have been around dogs for about 7 years. I have two dogs of my own, so I’m really comfortable with both small and big pups. I’ve also helped friends take care of their cats before. I’m patient, gentle, and pretty attentive. I can help with walks, feeding, playtime, and just making sure your pet feels safe and happy. I’ve also used another walking app, so I’m used to meeting different dogs with different personalities. I treat every pet like my own and always try to pay attention to what they need 😊 My schedule is flexible, and I’m available on weekends as well. I can spend plenty of time with your pet and provide consistent care throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow all care instructions carefully and always stay attentive during walks and at home. I’m happy to send regular photo and video updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I’ll make sure your pet feels comfortable, cared for, and well looked after at all times.

About: Growing up, I was constantly surrounded by animals because of my parents being vets. Currently, I have six dogs, a rabbit, and a cat! I have helped take care of, raise, and train two puppy litters. Being around all kinds of animals is a joy and pets health and safety is my biggest priority. I am a full time student, however I have an extremely flexible schedule which allows me to spend as much time as need be with pets. I also am not employed, so your pets would be my first priority. I am extremely adaptable to the needs of your pets, whether it be specific dietary needs or sleeping habits, I can accommodate whatever your pets (and you!) need to feel 100% safe. Normally, I take care of mail and garbage when I am staying at a house, unless asked otherwise.

About: Hi there! Thanks for stopping by my profile. With 15 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, I know firsthand that they’re not just pets — they’re family, and they deserve a vacation of their own while you’re away on yours. Your pup will be in great company here. I have two easy-going small dogs of my own who love making new friends and helping nervous visitors settle in. They’re the perfect welcome committee for dogs who do well with calm, friendly companions. A few things that set my space apart: Private dog park — I live in a gated community with a private dog park, so your dog gets safe, off-leash playtime without the unpredictability of public spaces. Private, secure walkways — Our community has dedicated walking paths, meaning every walk is calm, low-traffic, and worry-free. Live Wi-Fi pet camera — I have a dedicated camera set up so I can check in on your dog anytime I step out, and I’m always happy to send updates and photos throughout the stay. Whether your dog is a snuggly couch potato, a playful goofball, or a little shy and needs extra patience, I’ll treat them like one of my own. Drop me a message — I’d love to hear about your pup and answer any questions before you book! Your pup will get multiple walks a day along our private community walkways, regular playtime at our private dog park, and steady companionship with me and my two small dogs. I check in throughout the day via a dedicated Wi-Fi pet camera so I always know how your dog is doing. Safety is my top priority. I live in a gated community with a private dog park and dedicated, low-traffic walkways — so every walk and play session happens in a secure environment away from busy streets. My home has a living room connected by a doggy door and sliding door to a fenced backyard, giving your pup easy access to a potty area and room to roam. A dedicated Wi-Fi camera lets me monitor your dog even when I briefly step out, and my own two small dogs are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and well-socialized. If your dog prefers space, they can be comfortably separated from mine.

About: I have over 3 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, including my own husky, Nate, who requires daily structure, exercise, and attention. I’m very comfortable handling high-energy and strong breeds, and I focus on keeping dogs safe, engaged, and well-exercised during every walk. I treat every dog like my own and make sure they feel comfortable, secure, and cared for at all times. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to be available for walks throughout the day. I’m consistent and reliable, and I can accommodate both regular weekly walks and one-time bookings. I make sure to plan my day around the dogs in my care so they get the time and attention they deserve. Safety is always my top priority. I stay attentive during walks, avoid unsafe areas or situations, and make sure each dog is secure on leash at all times. I’m experienced with handling strong and energetic dogs, and I stay aware of my surroundings to keep them safe. I also provide updates when needed so you can feel confident and at ease while your dog is in my care. Bonus: Your dog might end up walking with my husky Nate (if a good fit), who loves making new friends 🐺

About: Hi! My name is Zoey, and I am a 21-year-old looking for opportunities to make sure your dog gets what they need while you are away! I've taken care of dogs for many years, but have taken more official paid positions in the last 4. Recently, I have worked to board dogs for families around my college town for periods of up to 6 hours to allow these families to go out for dinners, to the movies, and more without the need to worry about their dogs at home. I have walked dogs for local families regularly, helped take care of special needs dogs on check-ins (such as those with neurogenic bladder), and have dropped by houses to feed, play, and give love and affection to their dogs. When I was 12 years old, my sister and I took it upon ourselves to train our neighbor's golden retriever, Sandy Cheeks, to heel so that we could take her on walks and she would be easier to handle. We successfully managed to teach her, not just how to heel, but also how to come when called, shake, and roll over (quite a feat since many goldens don't love to learn how to roll over). Since then, I have loved learning how to handle dogs of all types, working with slightly reactive dogs, to energetic dogs that don't know their own strength. I am a dog enthusiast! All my life, I have loved dogs so much, but my parents were allergic and refused to get a pet. Finally, in my senior year of high school, my parents got a medium-sized golden doodle and surprised my sister and me. I cried. I can not express the level of joy I experience around dogs. Many of my friends could attest to the connection I have with dogs when I meet them. They are shocked by how much their dogs love me right away. What they don’t know is that I have carefully researched ways to approach dogs and read their body language to determine how they would like to be interacted with. I am a researcher at heart. I am an undergrad in college who has worked on multiple graduate-level research projects in the fields of neuroscience, psychology, biology, and sports studies. When I fell in love with animals, I made it a mission to know how to handle them and treat them with the care they deserve. Where to pet the dog, how to walk up to a dog, what sort of eye contact to make with the dog; these are all examples of how I have learned to pay attention to dogs and respect their boundaries in order to create deep bonds. I am my dog's safe place; she will come and sit between my legs when overwhelmed because she trusts me to protect her and not to treat her the way she needs to be treated at that moment. I would bring this level of care, passion, and enthusiasm to every workday and hope to strengthen the care and play experience of all dogs. I have worked with dogs of many breeds and many ages with many different needs. I have experience with nervous dogs, hyperactive dogs, reactive dogs, super intelligent dogs, stubborn dogs, and hypoallergenic dogs. I am an athlete, and my athletic and strength training have allowed me to handle strong dogs on lead, heavy dogs, and aggressive dogs that pull or suddenly jerk. My athleticism is particularly handy with highly energetic breeds. My own dog's favorite hobby is getting chased around by me or chasing after me. I have also been known to take dogs on runs with me or hikes. If your dog has a particular routine that involves going for a morning run, I would be the perfect candidate to keep that habit up while you're away! I have held many part-time jobs, and I am consistent and reliable. I am a great candidate to take care of your dog in any way. Consider me for all your pet care needs! I am an early riser! If you'd like a walk for your pet, morning, noon, and afternoon walks are the best! I like to schedule my pet care throughout my day, such as in the morning, at noon, and in the afternoon. It depends on what pet care you need from me, but for a home drop-in, I prefer to have time to take your pup out, feed them if necessary, get them used to my presence, calmed down, and give them a little treat before I take off. I am free for a large majority of the time. I work several part-time jobs at the moment, so scheduling around shorter shifts is no problem for me. I am extremely responsible with other people's properties. I am a detail-oriented person and not one to make mistakes or leave a mess when in another person's space. I follow the philosophy: leave every place better than you entered. In this case, I would leave your home better by giving your dogs care. When your pet is with me, their safety and emotional state are my number one priority. If I need to transport your pet anywhere, I am an excellent driver and have never once been ticketed or gotten into an accident. For walks, I have experience with animal safety and protection from other pets and wild animals. With small dogs, you never have to worry about a potential coyote attack or a larger breed biting the dog. I take dog safety very seriously and prepare for every walk with proper equipment, extra food for the dog, extra poop bags, and water. I will always switch to walking a dog or multiple dogs on the inside of me when passing other animals. I am also experienced using treats to maintain a dog's attention. I will never force your dog into any situation that their body language tells me they are not okay with. I am detail-oriented and good at shutting down potentially dangerous situations before they occur.
