About: I have been surrounded by dogs for my entire life and began taking care of the feeding and cleaning up after them from an early age. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and breeds, ranging from Yorkshire terriers all the way up to Mastiffs. I can make daily visits and walking appointments any day Monday through Friday, with weekends open for negotiation if needed. I am available at any time of the day. I will treat each pet with the utmost respect and care, ensuring that each individual receives proper attention and one-on-one time. I will make sure to follow each animal's regular routine and schedule as closely as possible. I am very conscientious of others' homes and will clean up after myself and the pets.
“Marta is great! My pup loves her! So reliable and caring. Highly recommend her!!!”
“Jason quickly made a strong connection with our lab, Ralph, and with us. He puts extra time, thought and effort into his care of Ralph which has made a difference. He is also extremely responsive and provides detailed information about each interaction. He’s terrific!”
“We love working with Maria. We are new dog owners and just got a puppy and were overwhelmed with the adjustment, but Maria right away trained him with a few commands which helped us at home tremendously. Our dog loves Maria. And we totally recommend her!”
“This was our first time using Erica. She was great. She arrived within our pre set time frame, took Baxter on a good walk and played with him at home before leaving. I got cute pictures and he was happy and tired when we got home. She’s already been rebooked.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I begged for my first dog Oreo (shih tzu) at age 7. Then during Covid I really wanted a puppy- with one stipulation that I had to truly take care of it. Then our dog Chip came into the picture and I learned all the responsibilities of walking, training, and loving a pet. I’m currently in my summer before college with a very flexible schedule, which allows me plenty of time to meet your pets needs for walking and drop in visits. I have a fenced yard, where my little shorkie- chip- is protected, I always very cautious of others dogs when walking, and I make sure to pick up on the dog’s cues of their needs and how they feel in every situation.
“Leora is great- Mae LOVES her and starts going crazy with joy when she walks up to the house. She’s responsive and reliable. I recommend her services highly.”
“Cathy is incredible! Right from the start, she offered to come meet my dog ahead of time and as soon as she walked in I knew she would be a great fit. She took the time to play with him, pet him, and let him get to know her. As a result, when she arrived to pick him up for his walk, he was happy to see her! This extra care to getting to know my dog (and letting him get to know her!) is so appreciated - especially since I have had other walkers give up on him. I would recommend Cathy to anyone who is looking for a caring and compassionate sitter or walker.”
About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs almost all my life. I am also close relatives first option when it comes to looking after their pets. I’m am currently looking for a job so I have lots of time to help look after your pets. I have lots of free time so I can take care of pets daily/weekly. I have a fenced in yard with one dog and I also live with five cats all of which are very friendly and looking to have more pet friends.
“There is not enough good things I can say about her! From the moment I messaged her to the last interaction we had. She goes above and BEYOND and you can truly tell she loves animals! I look forward to using her service again and again!”
“Anna always does a great job! I trust her with Morgan and they always have a great time together.”
“Abby is a very trustworthy and reliable caregiver for our animals. We have a dog & 2 cats. She’s always on time, goes above and beyond helping train our new puppy. She responds very promptly when we message her. Will definitely continue using her.”
About: I would do anything for an animal. Im fact, I have broken bones on two different times so they wouldn’t get hurt. I love them. I am looking for a job now and the market is horrible. I thought, what could be better than filling my days with animals to love on. I take care of my cat better than myself. I make sure he’s eating well, I grt the good bowls, toys galore and his own heating pad which he adores.
About: I want to commit to personalize care and attention to each pet I care for. I want to take the time to get to know each pet’s unique personality preference and routines so they feel comfortable while you are away. Additionally I offer constant updates (photos, videos and check-ins) so you can stay connected and reassure your pet is in great hands. Im currently not working so I have a lot of time to take care of your pets. I am available to house sit and I can stay longer if needed. I will ensure your pets stick to their routine including feeding times, exercise/bathroom time or any special care instructions. I will ensure to spend quality time with your pets-whether it’s playtime, cuddles or simple companionship.
About: I’ve always taken care of my friends’ family dogs at home whenever they go on vacation. They trust me with their dogs because I’m responsible and care for them just like they’re my own pets! I’m available in the morning 9am to 1:30pm Monday through Friday. Depending on the weekend I am available as well! I’m so excited to make new furry friends. I have a fenced yard for my own pup. I always put my pup on a leash when we go for our walks and make sure I never leave him home alone for more than 8 hours if I am gone for the day / evening.
“Mary did a nice job helping us out on short notice to take Ginger, our 45lb Goldendoodle for a walk while we were at work.”
About: I grew up with animals starting out with hamsters and guinea pigs. Currently have a small Bichon Frise dog who always needs love and attention. I love going on walks, especially with a companion:) I am currently a college student and attend classes Monday through Thursday so my availability is mainly weekends other than when I am on breaks. For my own dog I always make sure she has food and water at all times. Letting her outside whenever she wants in order to get some fresh air and then going on walks with her twice a day is part of our routine. She is not one to play, but still loves being silly and having the zoomies. In those energetic moments I always join her. Then at the end of the day everyone deserves a treat and so does she:)
“Yuliia stepped in on short notice which i greatly appreciate! She did a great job meeting Pandas needs and keeping me informed”
“Shayna did a great job taking care of our dog!!”
About: As a vet tech with the goal of being a Veterinarian I have years of experience, I provide compassionate, knowledgeable care tailored to each pet’s unique needs. I have worked with a wide range of animals, from high-energy puppies requiring extra playtime and positive reinforcement to senior pets needing gentle care, medication management, and mobility support. My expertise extends to administering medications, monitoring for subtle changes in behavior or health, and handling pets with anxiety or special needs. My background in veterinary medicine allows me to quickly recognize signs of illness or distress, giving you peace of mind while you’re away. I treat every fur baby as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their familiar environment. Whether it’s daily walks, administering medications, or providing extra cuddles, I’m dedicated to keeping your pets happy and healthy while you’re away. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine, allowing me to provide consistent and attentive care. I am free most, if not all, weekends, which gives me plenty of time whether it’s for drop-in visits, extended stays, or overnight care. During the week, I may also have availability depending on my schedule, making it easier to accommodate pet care needs, including last-minute requests. I prioritize safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment where pets feel secure. In a client’s home, I maintain their pet’s regular routine to minimize stress, ensuring they receive familiar care, whether it’s feeding, walking, or playtime. I’m diligent about securing the home, keeping dangerous items out of reach, and monitoring for any changes in behavior or health. If pets stay in my home, I provide a clean, pet-friendly space with plenty of enrichment and supervision to keep them safe and happy. I also create a calm, low-stress environment to help pets adjust and feel at ease. Communication is key so I keep pet parents updated with regular check-ins and photos so they can feel confident that their pets are in loving hands.
