“Lauren was reliable and punctual. She walked my dog when I was going to be gone out of the house for a while. She kept in communication and sent me pictures of my dog on their walk. I will definitely book with her again when needed. Thank you Lauren!”
About: Hi! I’m Maria — a registered nurse and lifelong animal lover 🐾 I know how stressful it can feel leaving your pet with someone new. My goal is to make that decision easy by providing safe, attentive, and genuinely loving care while you’re away. As a nurse, I bring a calm, detail-oriented approach to everything I do. I’m experienced in monitoring for changes, sticking to routines, and handling situations with care and confidence. Whether your pet needs medications, extra patience, or just lots of cuddles and playtime, I’ve got it covered. I’m comfortable with: • Puppies & senior pets • Medication administration (oral/topical) • Anxious or high-needs pets • Maintaining your pet’s normal routine What you can expect: • Frequent photo & video updates 📸 • Reliable communication • A clean, safe, and calm environment • Lots of love, attention, and exercise Your pet will be treated like family not just another booking. My background as a nurse reflects my attentiveness and responsibility, but I provide pet care services only (not veterinary or medical care). Feel free to reach out with any questions. I’d love to meet you and your furry friend! I work shift work so im very flexible on time or day of the week. I can be available morning, afternoon or evening when needed! We have a large yard where our dog plays in, she has high prey drive so im comfortable and familiar with keeping an eye on wanderers. She's crated when alone so Im comfortable crating dogs.
About: I am educated in Animal Welfare and Companion Animal Behaviour from the Agricultural College. I have more than 300hrs of volunteer experience with various animal rescues, including cat/kitten fostering; kennel cleaning; dog socialization; dog walking. I have a soft spot for any senior animal needing medication and/or a little extra daily care. I've owned dogs, cats, rodents personally and provided pet-sitting services for friends and family for dogs, cats, rodents, ducks, livestock (cattle), and miniature horses. In regards to training, I believe the best tool is consistency and focus on balance/positive reinforcement. I'm currently building up my pet care business so I can be wherever you need me, whenever you need me! I'm just excited to meet your pets! I'm comfortable with many training tools (crates, martingales, harnesses...etc). To ensure consistency, I will ask detailed questions about commands, skills, and manners your pet currently knows and will follow your training program, unless I notice a matter of safety. I will then discuss the matter with you before proceeding in any way. During pet-sitting, any pet made messes will be cleaned promptly to maintain a happy, healthy home for your loved one.
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life—dogs, cats, and even a rabbit! Growing up with pets taught me how to care for animals with patience, love, and lots of belly rubs. I’ve raised dogs from puppyhood to their senior years and currently share my home with two cats and a rabbit. I understand the unique needs of each pet, from playful energy to quiet cuddles, and I’m comfortable with feeding routines, administering medication, and providing safe, loving companionship. Whether your pet needs a long walk, a gentle snuggle, or someone to match their zoomie energy—I’ve got it covered! I’m currently on maternity leave, which means I’m home most of the day and have a flexible schedule. I can easily accommodate daytime walks, drop-ins, and last-minute bookings. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in, a long stroll, or some extra attention while you’re away, I’m here and happy to help! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving environment where they’ll feel right at home. I always follow pet parent instructions carefully and make sure your furry friend gets the attention and care they deserve. Whether we’re going for a walk or hanging out at home, I’m mindful, gentle, and fully present. You can relax knowing your pet is in safe, trustworthy hands.
About: You can find comfort knowing that I will treat your baby as if they are my own(which I don’t currently have, because I am probably busy watching someone else’s) There are days when I do have to go into the office. They will be home alone for longer periods of time (8 hours max). I aim to keep their daily routine as close to normal as possible for them :) Let me know what your pets day-to-day is like!
“We are traveling in an RV Caravan trip with 24 RV’s and we needed a person to walk our dogs while we were away on an excursion. Janis agreed to meet us at our campground and she met our dogs and came back the next day to walk them. She walked four dogs in all and she did a great job and the dogs you could see enjoyed it from the pictures she sent! Highly recommended!”
“Jay was on time and Paisley responded enthusiastically to her greeting. This was Paisley’s second meeting with Jay. Paisley is forming a connection and we are looking forward to continuing to have Jay and Paisley get to know each other as we prepare for having Jay house sit and care for Paisley in the future. We’re very happy with Jay’s knowledge, understanding and care of Paisley.”
About: I absolutely love dogs and my two golden retrievers are my whole world. Taking care of them has taught me how important patience, routine, and attention are, and I treat every dog I sit with the same way — like part of my family. I make sure they get plenty of walks, playtime, cuddles, and all the little extras that make them feel happy and loved. Every dog is different, and I enjoy learning their quirks and making sure they feel safe, cared for, and completely spoiled while I’m with them. I love dogs and my two golden retrievers are a huge part of my life, so caring for pups fits seamlessly into my day-to-day. I make sure they get walks, playtime, and cuddles without rushing — just like I do with my own dogs. I’m happy to work around schedules, provide consistent care, and make every dog feel comfortable, safe, and loved while I’m with them. Pets aren’t just a job for me; they’re part of my daily life, and I treat every furry friend with the same attention and care I give my own. My home is extremely dog friendly and my dogs are used to other dogs being in the home. We live on a quiet street and have a huge yard for them to run. We also live right next to a beautiful walking trail that I use daily.
