About: I’ve taken care of family dog and neighbors dog for 5 years. I have experience taking care of small to medium dogs and can train basic skills for puppies. My job has a flexible hours schedule and I can work from home. Therefore I can accommodate any hours needed by the customer and their dog. I do not have pets in my home currently, so the client’s dog will be the only pet in the home. I’ll make sure their dogs feel comfortable here.

Lauryn took great care of our kitty while we were away. Our cat gets very lonely, so it was hugely reassuring to have someone stop by and show her some love and comfort. Lauryn also did great with feeding and cleaning the litter box, and sent some cute photos after her visit. Thank you again!!

About: Animals are often the highlights of my day to day. I recently retired from my corporate career so I can wake up knowing I can do what brings me (and animals) joy full time. I’ve grown up around Beagles, the first being rescued when I was a child, recently passing at the age of 18. We then rescued a much older Beagle that lives his best life at my Grandma’s, as well as my sister who brought a baby Beagle home 😊 I’m comfortable around animals big or small (worked with pitty/hound mixes down to a chihuahua). With all the running around, I do enjoy lounging with my 2 cats at home. I recently switched over from my full time career, so I can be around animals more often! My schedule is very flexible through the weekdays. Weekends being flexible but require a heads up 😊 Regardless where your pet is being taken care of, they will be met with love, empathy and respect. Ensuring their needs (walks in nature or city, food, playtime, naps) are consistently met.

About: I’ve lived with dogs since I was a young child and have always been comfortable caring for them. I’m looking forward to having my own dog in the near future, so I truly value the opportunity to spend time caring for others. I have a reliable, reputable career and live on my own, which allows me to provide a calm, stable, and responsible environment for your pet. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my priority. I work shift work, which allows me to be home consistently for 4–5 days at a time when I’m off rotation. During those days, your pup will receive plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship. I’m available for boarding and extended stays and can provide a stable, consistent routine while you’re away. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live alone in a clean, calm home environment where your pup will receive my full attention. I always follow each dog’s specific routine, including feeding schedules, walks, and any special instructions. I ensure doors are secure, pets are supervised, and I provide a safe, stress-free space where they can feel at home.

Absolutely amazing! Oscar is diabetic and we were getting married. We needed someone to check in on him, feed him, and give him his insulin. Poor Oscar was not handling the separation well, sick to his belly, and didn't want to eat. Jennifer used her magic and got him eatting and feeling better. She even cleaned up after him. Highly recommend her! We will certainly being using her more often! 5 stars and forever grateful!

I have a 14, almost 15 year old, reactive Jack Russell that I never leave with anyone. It took a lot for me to trust but Rita came through beyond my expectations. She was amazing with my girl and took really good care of her. And what strengthens my trust in Rita is she instinctively knows how to handle a reactive dog. She kept my girl safe and not only met her needs that I outlined, but also gave her lots of love and affection. It gave me a lot of comfort and reassurance seeing updates via video and pics. So grateful for Rita. Now I have someone I can turn to which will give me some freedom back in my life. Thank you, Rita!

About: I always loved being around the pups, I feel they are my stress busters. Whenever I'm with them I feel happier and always loved playing with them since my childhood. I also worked with agencies where I used to take them to walking or dog sitting and also I have taken care of my friend's dogs and took them walking and played with them in the park. I'm a student and I have plenty of time on the weekends and I'm also free on the weekends to play and walk your pups. I have a fenced backyard for the dogs to play if they need and I'll be with them to play and take care of them so that you can be stress free.

Iza is absolutely great! We were completely stress-free the entire time, knowing our three small dogs were in such great hands. Our dogs usually have a hard time eating when we're away, but dinner time with Iza was always good, and she was always on time. She showered them with lots of petting and love, and they had a blast playing and spending cuddle time on the sofa. She also handled cleaning and feeding the dogs with such care. We especially appreciated all the pictures she sent, which showed us just how happy, calm, and, most importantly, how well they were eating with her. We would highly recommend Iza to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter ;)
