About: I am an experienced dog walker and I have experience with all different breeds and sizes cats included. I am a veterinarian technician and because of that I am knowledgeable of what puppies need and how it differs from what adult dogs need. I am your girl to call if you need someone with short notice or any type of notice. I do work full time but have off days during the week and plenty of time before and after work to make sure they are getting the care they need I have a fenced in yard and 2 friendly dogs to help keep your baby entertained. If needed I can easily crate your dog as well
“Angela did a fantastic job caring for my two cats, including administering insulin twice daily for my diabetic cat, maintaining dietary restrictions, and keeping her well-regulated! Both of my cats seemed super happy and relaxed with her, which is no small feat for the more sensitive one. I felt super comfortable leaving them with her and wouldn't hesitate to have her watch them again!”


About: Hello I'm Lauren. I've got a pupper of my own named Layla. We love long walks in the evenings, playing ball, and long naps during the day. I work in the field of recreation so I like to be out and about but love to come home and cuddle at night. I've been working with pets since owning 13 rabbits when I was little. I have experience with big, little, and medium sized dogs and will work with behavioral issues as well. I do require that the animals that come to my house be crate trained for when I am at work or I can pet sit from your home if you prefer your pets to be out all day. Either way I'd love to meet your little darling/darlings.
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 12, through all stages of life, from puppy to adult to senior. I worked at a dog daycare and have experience with dog kenneling. I am a full time student with an extremely flexible schedule, so I have full availability to care for your pets. I am available anytime, any day of the week. I will care for the pet(s) as agreed upon by the owner, I am extremely flexible and will follow any instructions for caring for your pets.
“They were great with watching my cat. I was sent pictures which made me feel at ease with this being my first time being away from him. I would highly recommend booking with them!”

“Kristen was absolutely wonderful with our cats & nana’s dog, Arrow! She kept in touch often! Always reassuring us everything was ok! We had a great vacation without having to worry about our fur babies! We will schedule with Kristen again! Thank you, Kristen!”

About: Lifelong cat mom / animal lover & university professor with hands-on experience caring for cats/kittens of all ages and needs. I currently have two beautiful cats (Fifi & Freya). Unfortunately, one of my cats, Freya, (now fully recovered), had Feline Infections Peritonitis (FIP). This condition is typically fatal - however, I signed her up for a clinical trial from UC Davis that ended up working! This treatment required 84 days of subcutaneous shots, medication adjustments, and constant blood work/visits to vet. Having this experience has allowed me to be an cat advocate and can understand love for these cutie creatures. I have read & researched a lot about cats & kittens since Freya’s been sick. It’s allowed me to fully understand the importance of cat cues, health, and best practices for food, litter, and playtime. I have experience in the following: •Experience giving subcutaneous shots •Experience giving pill & liquid medications •Experience giving Asthma Medication •Experience with picking up cats/kittens in safe & calm way •Certified in Cat&Dog CPR •Human CPR I work remotely most days especially on the holidays! During the semester (I am a university professor), I teach on Mondays and Wednesdays during the day. I can check in on any cats/kittens early in the morning, evenings, or weekends. As a cat mom, I understand the love each person has for their little fur baby. I provide a safe, calm, and reliable service. I have checked in on my friends cats for a really really long time and understand routines.
About: I have taken care of all sorts of animals growing up- but have consistently taken care of dogs and cats. I currently have a puppy who I love and adore, named Bunker. Contact me if you need some help with your furry friends! I'd love to help:) I have currently a full time student, so I am typically home going to classes and studying or hanging out at home. I am able to fit a good amount of time into my schedule! I try to update my schedule as often as possible, my blocked off days I am either working or out of town. Please refer to my schedule before requesting :) In a client's home I am respectful and handy. I love to make dogs as comfortable as possible - someone random coming into my home would scare me too! I provide all services and follow directions as told. I am comfortable with all temperaments and personalities - that's what makes every dog special right?! I have developed a strong love of learning about every dog possible and being adaptable to them.
“Hannah was an awesome pet sitter and we’ll definitely be using her again! She was super responsive, sent the cutest photos, and gave regular updates that really put us at ease. Our dog (Australian shepherd) clearly loved her and got so much attention and affection while we were away. Thank you, Hannah!”

“Brooke was great with my kitty. She came in daily for a week and I could tell Ravi was very comfortable with her. I would definitely recommend Brooke to all! This was my first time using Rover and Brooke was very responsive which put me at ease.”

“This is our second time booking with Blair, and again we were very impressed with her regular updates and photos. We really appreciate the love and attention she gives our kitties and would happily book again.”

About: In my future, i plan to start a rescue for animals in need and are injured. Animals are my best friend and i couldn’t ever imagine being without them. I’ve taken care of 10 dogs most of my life. My parents love animals so i’ve always been around different kind of animals. They currently have 3 bunnies, guinea pigs, 10 cocker spaniels, 1 lab, and 2 cats. When they are away i am the main person to take care of them since they also foster and i’m the oldest kid in the family. I know how to care for dogs of all sizes, breeds, temperaments and personalities. I also am experienced in special needs dogs, my parents have a cocker spaniel who has special needs and he’s the sweetest dog i’ve ever met. Me and my girlfriend, jenica do this together. I just recently started a new job at the hospital 40 hours a week so it might mainly be her at drop off or pick up if that’s the case i will let you know! but she is so caring and loving to animals!! she’s cared for many animals like horses, dogs, cats, and fish. she’s like an animal whisperer.. she always knows what the animal wants/needs and always tends to them. she especially knows how to make dogs feel at home. This isn’t a business for us it’s a special place for dogs to be happy and loved while their parents are away. especially to make their owners feel comfortable that their pup is in good hands!! 💛🐶 I had a senior dog , izzy who had cancer and i did my best to make her feel cared for through the time she had left. I really take my time caring for dogs with special needs and who are older, they need fun and love. 🐾 What i offer : • Boarding (Overnight stays) • At your home doggie sitting • Day care • Walking • Drop in visits • Clean, and spacious home • Structured play time, nap time and lovin time • fenced in yard for supervised outdoor play and potty time • A calm living space where pups are free to play and relax • Lots of squeaky toys and stuffed animals 🦴🧸 • 2 walks a day 🐕 if they need more we are happy to provide more walks :) • no crated home (unless your dog is crate trained and their crate is their safe space which we abide by) I understand how stressful it can be to leave your dog with someone new. That’s why i am firm on communication. I’ll send you updates, videos and pictures so you can see how much fun their having and be comfortable having them in my hands :) I am home most of the day, there may be a time where i have to run to do an errand like grocery shopping etc. My girlfriend is home all the time so she will be home to take care of your pups. Their safety and well being always comes first 🐶 Im 18 and work from home with my girlfriend. We are available 7 days a week. I have a fully fenced in yard so your pup can play outside and be safe. My home is tidy, and very clean. We make sure everything is put away. We know how it is to have a pup that likes to put everything in their mouth so we make sure to vacuum and mop. I live in a quiet little neighborhood. My house is a very spacious 4,000 square foot home and it was a church before it was turned into a house so it’s very unique. I have a cocker spaniel and a brittany mix, they are both very sweet and love new company. My brittany is 15 so he kinda just lays around but my cocker spaniel is 3 so she loveeesss to play.
About: I have worked with animals basically my whole life. I was gifted a puppy as a child and I was very persistent on making sure I was doing all of the dirty work (walks, baths, scooping poop lol). My family and I have had a Boxer, 3 English bulldogs, a Doberman, and an Australian Sheppard so I have knowledge on the basic needs for all types of dog breeds and sizes! I’m currently working part time as I am a full time student and single mom! I have lots of free time while my son is in daycare and classes have not yet started so I’m here to take care of your pets when needed! I love to take them on walks around the neighborhood (when it’s not so hot) and cool off in the backyard on the turf next to the pool!
About: Hi, I’m AJ, a lifelong pet lover with experience caring for dogs and cats. I’ve had pets since childhood and have house-sat for neighbors, family, and friends, ensuring their pets were happy and well cared for. I know how important it is to have peace of mind when leaving your pets and home in someone else’s hands. I’ll provide attentive care, keep your pets happy and comfortable, and ensure your home stays safe and well-maintained. I’m also happy to send regular updates so you always know how things are going. Looking forward to meeting you and your pets—feel free to reach out! My 9-5 job is fully remote, which means I’ll be around to keep your pets company throughout the day. I’m available most days of the week and am happy to travel and stay in your home to ensure your pets feel safe and comfortable in their own space. I live in a quiet, two-bedroom condo with no other pets, making it a comfortable space to board cats and small/medium dogs. Since I work from home, I can provide plenty of attention all day, and take your dogs outside regularly for walks and fresh air. I’m happy to accommodate your pet’s routine, including crating if needed. I also offer house sitting to keep your pets comfortable in their own home while you’re away.
