About: This is a new profile in this app, and my rates are lower because I want to get more customers and reviews :) I grew up surrounded by loving animals — five dogs, two cats, horses, and bunnies were all part of my daily life. Pet care isn’t just a job for me; it’s second nature. I’ve developed a calm, confident energy that animals trust, and I treat every pet like family. Whether it's giving extra patience to puppies, gentle attention to seniors, or understanding each pet’s unique personality, I bring lifelong experience and genuine love to every visit. I am usually free after 5pm during weekdays, Friday's, Saturday's and Sunday's usually free most of the day and I love going to the dog beach if the owners allow it :) Pet care is my passion and love, helping other people with my skills is my life purpose. I care about my client's pets very much. I do my best to follow their instructions and listen to their needs. I am attentive to detail and very kind to animals. I love to make them happy and have a good time with them.

About: Hi! I’m a part-time nurse and a new Rottweiler puppy mom. Life at the hospital can be intense, so spending time with dogs is my way of taking a much needed mental health break. I genuinely love caring for pups, big or small and I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your dog. I’ll treat your pup like one of my own. I work part-time as a nurse, which gives me plenty of time during the week to focus on pet care. Walking dogs and doing drop-in visits is something I genuinely enjoy, it’s a great way for me to reset, and spend time with animals. I focus on keeping pets comfortable and safe by sticking to their usual routines. On walks, I make sure they get plenty of exercise and breaks. During visits, I provide playtime, and lots of attention to help them feel happy!

About: Throughout my life, I’ve always had a pet as a family member. When I moved to the United States 5 years ago, I left my dog with my family. I am excited to invite furry friends to my life.

I’m available on Monday to Friday during lunch hours and at 1730 onwards to take care of your paw friend. I’m flexible on Saturday and Sunday. As I have pet sit for long periods of time before, my apartment has play pens for small dogs, water/food bowl, pee pad, and a dog park nearby.

“Kenzie was the perfect person for our anxious fearful dog. She’s super patient and understanding with him and even gave us some helpful tips when we did a meet and greet. Would definitely use her next time!”


About: Animal lover who currently has no fur babies to love! Taken care of both cats and dogs. Live a very active lifestyle and love going for long runs or walks and would absolutely love to take your furry friend out for some adventures! Try to get 10k steps a day and would love some furry companions for all my walks. Also have experience with helping give cats/dogs specific medicines if need be! I work full time remote and have pretty flexible availability. I can also work from your place if your looking for more of an in home care while your away. *If working from your home there needs to be an office set up and fast Wi-Fi available as I’m on zoom a lot. **Price for visit is dependent on what is needed. Price for overnight stay dependent on hours and other extras (walks/feeding/etc.) As a past pet owner I am fully able to crate your dog if need be. I believe in living an active lifestyle so also very happy to take your furry friends out for long walks to get all the energy out. I also love taking dogs out to throw the ball or playing with kitties in the home with lots of toys to make sure they are getting the exercise and enjoyment they need!


About: Hello! I'm Charlie I've been working for over 12 years taking care of children and on occasion, pets. I'm hoping to add more animals to my life as I am going through nursing school, the stress relief and excuse to get outside that furry friends offer is immeasurable! I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs as an occasional sitter/walker and home co-habitant and have had a wonderful feisty cat for over 12 years + her younger adopted sister.(They stay at home with their papá and grandparents when I am away) I have the most experience with older dogs, and manage to win over even the most tentative of furry family members. (I'm a shier gal, so I attribute it to mutual awkwardness.) I have experience giving eye drops, disguising medications as treats (or convincing stubbon animals to take medication) and I am experienced in giving injections (on humans, lol) I'm more comfortable and experienced with medium and larger dogs , cats of all sizes and temperaments (but i will not turn down the opportunity to make a small dog, bunny, scaley or feathered friend!) . I've experienced some mischievous puppy antics that have led to my finding out that I can keep level headed in an emergency. As I mentioned above, I work in childcare, so I have experience performing work unsupervised in other peoples' homes, am in nursing school (so background checks are no issue) and can provide necessary references if requested to ensure my trustworthiness. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have about me and my experience. Thank you. I am currently in nursing school, so if I am helping out with your furry friends, I do it around my school schedule. When I do home stays, I welcome the study breaks that being with a pup provides, since when I am not at clinicals or on campus -- I am living at a desk or kitchen table hoping to learn everything I need to. I don't typically do "drop-ins" and usually housesit In a client's home while they are away. I try and follow a furry friend's routine as closely as possible and if I can't on a day, I make sure that they always get enough potty breaks and adjust walks accordingly. I do tend to take the longest walks in the AM (30-45 min) + before bed (30-1 hr) with shorter 15-30 min "potty" walks during the day . I take into account their needs (feeding/medication/b&b evacuation times) & normal excursion times and my schedule and plan the week out in advance. Written instructions help me with daily tasks or pet personality quirks if they are more set in their ways. I'm happy to water plants, gather mail, take out trash and am comfortable communicating with vendors (repairment, pest control etc) if they need to visit when you are away. I treat the home better than I treat my own and aim to maintain (or exceed) the level of cleanliness that existed when I arrived. I'm not shy when it comes to vacuuming, laundering linens & pet bedding as needed while I am staying.


About: I started caring for dogs and cats when I was eight years old and have been dedicated to their love and care ever since. I have always been in awe of the special bond and unique understanding that can form between us and these beings who aren't even of the same species. Nurturing this bond by creating a safe and loving environment for the animals and their humans is my absolute priority. I have worked with dogs and cats of all types and temperaments, and am adept at administering medications and following any personalized instructions and care that members of your fur family might need. I also have experience with positive behavioral modification training techniques that rewards good behaviors rather than punishes bad ones. At home, we have two wonderfully unique rescue dogs, Jasper and Wyatt, who have been integral members of our family for the past seven years. I currently work from home in the finance/investment industry, and am blessed to have the freedom to set my own hours and work schedule, so I can give your pets all the attention and care that is needed for them to thrive. I will carefully follow any and all instructions needed for the care of your animal(s), and am able to take them on walks, play-dates, and vet appointments, as well as administer medications and seamlessly follow any training techniques you already practice. Because of my flexible and work-from-home schedule, I am able to give as much attention as needed and more to make sure everyone is happy and well-cared for!

About: Intuitive dog caretaker. Your pup's needs are my number one priority. I adapt to your fur baby's needs. When they want a long walk, I'm their guide. When they want extra belly rubs, I've got lots of love to give. I understand how tough it can be to trust someone with your dog. The good news is that dogs recognize "dog people." I'll make your dog feel comfortable and ensure every need is met. I'm a freelancer and work from home, so my schedule is very flexible. I can accommodate almost any schedule, and I'm usually available at a moment's notice if needed. For pet sitting, I offer services in the client's home. I feel like this is the best arrangement for the pup. They get to stay in their familiar environment, and they know they're at home. Maybe it's irrational, but I worry about how a dog will feel when they're left at someone else's house, especially if it's not something they're used to. When I stay at a client's home, the client can feel confident that their home and pet will be treated with the utmost care. I respect property and take care of any pet as if they were my own. I sympathize with the stress an animal may feel when their pack is somewhere else, so I do everything possible to ensure the pet is happy in your absence.

A walk around the neighborhood, meal and play time, or seeing the need for a calm space—your dog will be in capable caring hands. Our 16-year-old, 10-pound Maltipoo needs a little extra TLC and took to Adam immediately and happily greets him at the door every time he arrives. Our family fully trusts Adam with our beloved dogs.”
