About: I’ve Taken care of and trained over dozens of animals in over 6 years. I was an assistant pet trainer/groomer at a dog kennel. And volunteer for several animal shelters. I love taking care of animals of all kind, but specifically cats and dogs! I’m currently working part time remotely, so I’ll have a lot of time to make sure you pet is loved and cared for! I have a cat of my own and I always make sure she’s happy and healthy! I like to take walks 2-3 times a day so I don’t mind making sure your fur baby has had plenty of potty breaks. I live in a gated community with a fence separating me from my neighbors. I also have a huge backyard and plenty of space to keep your animals active and happy. I also love taking walks and having outside time. They deserve to have fun and enjoy their day too!

About: I grew up with dogs - my Afghan, Kesha, was my first best friend and how I learned to braid (lol). I've cared for Rottweilers, Pit Bulls, Cockers, and Min Pins. I've dog-sat and cat-sat for family and neighbors for years, and now my daughters and I are ready to open our peaceful home and fenced yard to pets needing love while their people are away. Our house has a crate, a basement space, and plenty of tail-wagging energy. Dogs aren't just welcome here, they're remembered forever. I'm currently home during the day with a very flexible schedule. I have plenty of time, space, and love to offer pets who need calm, consistent care while their owners are away. Pet care fits easily into my routine and brings so much joy into our home. I approach every client's home with the same respect. I would want someone to have in mine. I've worked in private homes as a section 8 inspector, a home care aide, and an insurance rep, so I'm comfortable operating professionally in someone else's space. I follow all house rules, keep things clean, and ensure pets feel safe and at ease while you're away. We live in a pet-friendly neighborhood. My daughters and I often take walks around the neighborhood, so any pet we care for will get the benefit of fresh air, familiar sights, and friendly energy. We have a peaceful, fenced yard, a crate if needed, and a quiet, unoccupied basement space for rest or separation when appropriate. I'm very aware of animal behavior, neighbor pets, and how to make pets feel safe and seen. This is a calm, kid-friendly, and pet-loving home.

About: I've owned dogs of all size and ages. I provide many services including walking, feeding, playtime and giving so much love. I can provided nothing but the best care while you're away. I have a flexible and open summer schedule. I am available at anytime of the day to support your furry companion. I can be available to you when you need! I have a fenced yard and secured home and will provided constant supervision of your pet. Your pet will receive the exact care that you outline.

About: I have been a pet owner since I was a little girl and I always had a love for animals amd my fur babies means the world to me. I currently have one dog and one cat that lives with me I had them both since they were babies. Your fur babies will be in great hands with me and will be well taken care of I live in a neighborhood where almost every other house owns a pet but mostly dog owners. My neighborhood bank and stores have water and treats out for our furry friends I pretty much can say I live in a dog neighborhood and my dog gets so excited when it's time for her walk I usually give her a nice walk in the morning and also in the evening.

About: I’ve been a dog mom for 10 years. Lost my baby in 2021 and every pup I’ve met since shared an immense amount of love, almost like they could sense my grief. I feel like I owe them everything and its my goal to give love to every pup I meet and maybe one day I’ll be ready to be a dog mom again. I am a freelance artist so my schedule is very flexible. The wedding season usually picks up in May but I only work weekend nights. I live in a quiet area with low traffic and a few close parks. I’m also next door to a police station so the are is also very safe. I have concrete floors so it’s okay if your fur baby is still potty training or up in years.

“Shakira is very intuitive about our dog’s behavior and needs and she walked him competently. She herself is so pleasant and happy. We will have her walk and surprise for our dog again.”


About: Hello, I’m amazing at watching your furry family member while you’re gone! ❤️ thank you for trusting and booking with me , please feel free to text me! I have my doggy on a schedule so no need to adjust I’m pretty much adjusted but it’s pretty easy to take the dogs out I got a fenced in yard and I can see them playing threw my office window and plus I never leave the pups out there alone I make sure they remain on a schedule and remain as happy as can be I show them the same love I will show my own dogs

About: After loving and caring for my dog of 12 years, Fuzzy Wuzzy, I decided to take up dog care/dog walking to care for other pets who need it. I work for a Professional Company, ‘Canine Care,’ for the better part of 5 months, and am ready to start my freelance work with Rover! I work with barking, lunging, curious, drooly, happy, jumpy dogs all day, and I won’t have a problem with however your dog is! I look forward to meeting and having a great, safe, time with them. I work Part-time, typically tuesdays-thursdays. But am available most days for boarding and walking. I text back very quickly so just ask and I’ll let you know right away! I have a fenced in back yard, no pets in the house and if you’re comfortable pets are allowed on the furniture. For walking, I have 6 foot and 10 foot leashes, and my neighborhood is on the quieter side if you’re dog is sensitive to noise. Let me know if you have any other questions I’m happy to answer.

About: I have experience with dogs with anxiety who use medication, needy/clingy dogs, and dogs with disabilities. I am extremely thorough and patient in case something goes wrong with them and I maintain a calm demeanor at all times. When it comes to instructions, please provide a brief, detailed description of your pet's daily routine and I'll follow it to the letter. I'm currently a graduate student at CSU; summers are a slow period for me. I am more than willing to babysit pets for as many nights, walks, feeding times as needed. During school time I will do walks, feeding visits and the occasional overnight weekend stay. I am committed to your pet's comfort level and will adapt to their schedule to the best of my ability. I will spoil them rotten because I absolutely love all dogs and cats of all shapes and mannerisms. Even if they hate me. If I am confused about anything regarding your pet's behavior, such as licking paws, over-grooming, an increase in urination, I will let you know about it as soon as I see it. I also LOVE talking to the pets so I will have full-on conversations with them. I'm especially good with repeat visits so if you are interested in having a one-time sitter for the next few years, I'm MORE than willing to take up that responsibility. Familiarity is very important with pets and as mentioned before, I am focused on the pet's comfort.


“Titi is a wonderful dog walker and took excellent care of my senior dog. She is patient, has a kind spirit and my little guy looked forward to their walks. Titi is punctual, professional, dependable and always provided a recap of how the walk went. I highly recommend Titi and will continue to use her dog walking services when needed.”


“Jasmine walked my two dogs while I was out of town for a weekend. She did an excellent job. My dogs were happy and showed no signs of stress. She stayed in contact with me by text and photos. I will definitely use Jasmine again to take care of my dogs.”


About: My name is Tonisa and I love my furry friends. I have 2yo Labradoodle so she will be in the home as well. I enjoy the smiles dogs have, but only dog lovers would notice those. I have experience with diabetic dogs (if I need to give them insulin I do charge extra for that service $5 per day). Other than that I have a big fenced yard for them to play in. They will go on a morning walk and 2 evening walks. I know how I was when I would go out of town so I’m more than happy to send photos and FaceTime while I have your pup. (Pls bathe my new buddies before drop off) See you soon :) I work from home. So for most part I will be with them. If I leave out it’s never too long. Ava will be in the home with them so they won’t be alone/bored. I care for you pup like they are my Ava Bear. They are able to rome around in the same common areas that Ava is aloud. Because I have my own fur baby I am full time pet owner which requires me to take her out, feed and walk her. Your baby will just fit right into our daily schedule I have a fenced yard. If your dog is a jumper please let me know. I allow the dogs the run freely in the back yard. If it’s too hot, unfortunately I do not let them play outside long. Once the sun goes down I then let them stay out longer. The dogs are typical fed breakfast and dinner with snacks in between. Please bring snacks (I don’t want to cause any discomfort while in my care).
