About: Hi, I’m Andrea! I’ve always loved being around dogs and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to trust the person watching your pet, so I make communication a priority by sending regular updates and photos throughout each stay. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, breeds, and personalities, and I always try to match each dog’s routine and comfort level. Whether your dog loves playtime, long walks, cuddles, or just a calm environment to relax in, I make sure they receive patience, attention, and affection during their stay. My goal is to create a clean, safe, and stress-free environment where your pet feels at home. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, and any special instructions you provide so your dog receives personalized care every time. I know every pet is different, and I truly enjoy building trust with both pets and owners. I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry family member! During my care I schedule specific times for feeding, walking, and play sessions, ensuring that every pet in my care receives consistent attention and affection. Caring for pets in my home involves creating a safe, comfortable, and stimulating environment that caters to their individual needs. I start by designating specific areas for feeding, sleeping, and play to maintain a structured routine. I ensure these spaces are clean, free of hazards, and stocked with toys, bedding, and other essentials.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all kinds and sizes for over 5 years. Coworker and friends trust me with their precious fur babies. I’m patient enough to work with puppies or senior dogs as well. I’m also very comfortable with cats and their different temperaments. I’m currently working part time remotely so I have the flexibility and time to give your pets all the love and care they need. With enough notice I can be available any day of the week at any time. I currently live where there is a pet limit but I am free and available to travel to you to look after any of your pets.

About: Currently my brother and I are working from home and don't mind having your dog here to accompany us. We love furry guests! I've had/watched dogs all my life ranging from teacups to great Danes, we love them all! Working from home 5 days a week (introverts for sure) we are available most week days and weekends. Our morning and afternoon walks for its nothing to add your fur baby! We have pups and dislike crates so I let them roam the house. If the house is too foreign I will limit them to the room im occupying with occasional backyard fun and 20/30 min walks. I also send pics daily/hourly depending on owners comfort level.

“Leo has been taking our dog on midday walks twice a week for the past few months. He is unfailingly reliable, communicative and responsive. He lets us know if he is going to be even a few minutes later than usual, even though our dog is low-maintenance and large-bladdered! Leo has given us lots of advance notice on the rare occasion when he was not available for a regular walk (e.g., at the holidays). And he's an all-around nice guy. It gives us great comfort to know that our Jake is getting such excellent care.”

About: Hi! I’ve pretty much always had a dog or cat in my life, so taking care of pets is something I genuinely love. I grew up with a German Shorthaired Pointer and a pit bull (and plenty of cats!), so I’m super comfortable with bigger dogs, high energy pups and pets with strong personalities. I’ve also cared for senior pets and am comfortable giving medications, keeping up with feeding schedules, adjusting walks for different energy and mobility levels, and following all the oddly specific little routines that pets inevitably train us into. I’m a big believer in keeping things as normal and comfortable as possible while you’re away, so I’ll stick to your pet’s routine, give them lots of attention and happily send you photos and updates along the way. Whether your pet wants a long walk, a serious game of tug of war or just someone to hang out with on the couch, I’m very happy to be their person while you’re gone (and hopefully their new favorite sitter!). Pet care fits really naturally into my routine! I work a 9–5 in communications for a nonprofit think tank, with a hybrid schedule that has me working from home on Mondays and Fridays. That gives me plenty of flexibility for walks, playtime and check-ins throughout the day, especially around long weekends. I’m open to overnight stays, daily drop-ins, walks or a mix depending on what works best for you and your pet. I’m also happy to work around their usual routine as much as possible. I know pets tend to have their schedules figured out better than the rest of us! Since I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes, my goal is to keep things as familiar and stress-free as possible for your pet! I’ll follow their normal routine closely, including feeding, walks, medications, playtime and, of course, plenty of attention and cuddles (if they’re into that!). I’m also very respectful of your home and will make sure everything is left just as I found it. Most importantly, I’ll keep you updated with plenty of photos and check-ins so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe and comfortable in their own space.

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Chanelle is fantastic! She’s incredibly friendly, prompt, and professional, with the added patience to handle our rather barky chihuahua-pug mix. Our dog doesn’t usually warm up to people quickly, but she immediately took to Chanelle, which says a lot. Her calm, reassuring approach made her feel comfortable, and it’s clear she genuinely loves working with animals. Chanelle is reliable and trustworthy, and we feel so lucky to have her as our dog walker. Highly recommend!”

About: Animals have always been a central part of my life. I have owned and cared for pets since I was seven years old and worked for the humane society for two years while attending college. I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing them with love, attention, patience, and a safe environment. I enjoy taking dogs on walks, car rides, and engaging them in playtime activities that keep them happy, active, and mentally stimulated. My experience with a variety of breeds has given me extensive knowledge of different temperaments, behaviors, and care needs. I am gentle, dependable, and committed to ensuring every pet feels comfortable and secure. In addition to caring for my own animals, I have rescued pets and helped provide safe homes for those in need. I am also a dedicated supporter of the humane society because I believe pets truly enrich our lives. Each animal has a unique personality and special way of communicating, and I find great joy in building trusting relationships with them. For me, caring for pets is more than a responsibility—it's a passion and a way of helping save and improve lives. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. As a working professional, I understand the importance of balancing responsibilities while ensuring pets receive the attention, exercise, and care they need. I schedule pet visits, walks, feeding times, and playtime just as I would any other important commitment. I am organized, dependable, and committed to making sure your pet receives consistent care, companionship, and affection throughout the day. Your pet's well-being will always be a priority in my schedule. A place where tails wag, paws play, and dogs are treated like family! At 3BK Scratch & Play Hut, your furry companion will enjoy all-day play, safe and engaging walks, endless cuddles, affection, and plenty of love. ❤️❤️ We provide a fun, comfortable, and caring environment where every dog receives personalized attention, companionship, and the care they deserve. Whether your pup loves to play, explore, relax, or snuggle, they'll feel right at home with us. Because every dog deserves a day filled with happiness, love, and belly rubs! 🐾❤️🐶

About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience caring for both younger and senior dogs. I have two dogs of my own, CJ (4) and Molly (10), so I understand that every pet has different needs and routines. I’m patient, attentive, and will make sure your pet gets plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away. I prioritize daily walks, playtime, and check-ins to make sure every pet I care for gets the attention they need. I always make time to ensure pets are happy, healthy, and comfortable. In my home, I create a safe, pet friendly environment with plenty of space for play and relaxation. I ensure pets feel comfortable and at ease, sticking to their routine and providing personal attention throughout the day. In a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their pet’s familiar surroundings, following specific instructions for feeding, exercise, and medication.

About: I was practically raised by wolves lol. Growing up in a Huge Southern Household I’ve had plenty of Paws-on experience with dozens of breeds, all sizes, ages, and temperaments. From HUGE St Bernard’s and German shepherd’s, to Pomeranians and Yorkipoos! I’m a college student on summer break, so the sky is the limit! My schedule is extremely flexible, and I will be happy to discuss that further with you. Unfortunately, I do not offer boarding services at this time. I am familiar and experienced taking precautionary measures to keep your fur baby safe and happy home and in public spaces.

About: I have cared for pets since I was a child. We've had our own fur babies and also fostered many rescues from the street. I did this especially when we lived in Morocco and Jordan, where many stray animals could be found lost in the streets. Over these years I have learned to understand animals and notice their personality traits and quirks. I love them all! I work from home so my schedule is very flexible. I am often also available on short notice. I am willing to keep pets at my home or come to yours. I have a cat but she is very friendly and easy going with dogs. If a dog or cat I am caring for needs some space or if they don't get along I keep my cat upstairs, and put up a baby gate if needed.

Ella is amazing! She took on a last-minute walk for my pup and went above and beyond - put his raincoat on, dried him off after, and made sure he was settled before she left. She's so thoughtful and communicated clearly the whole time, sending cute photos and even a heads up on a slight bathroom issue. Highly recommend!

Our dog Hope loved Grant as soon as she met him at the meet and greet, and she was so excited when he showed up for her walk. Grant is kind and loving towards Hope, and is very understanding about her quirky golden personality. He’s also a good communicator about logistics and scheduling, and is very on time. We highly recommend Grant.

He is always sure to give her long walks (with picture updates), but if the weather isn’t cooperating, he still makes sure to have time for indoor play and attention. Couldn’t be more pleased!
