Carol was fantastic with our eight-year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel! She quickly bonded with her and provided a wonderful midweek walk, complete with photo updates. Her communication was clear, timely, and professional, and we came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup. We’d be delighted to work with Carol again and highly recommend her!

About: Hello! Personalize, attention, safety, and happiness are my top priorities. Your pups well-being is something I truly care about, making me the ideal choice for you! Before this app I had already started dog sitting and walking in places like Carmel, Pebble Beach, and Pacific Grove. I spend the other half of my time wedding planning, but I can do a lot from home! And I’m only part time so plenty of time to spend with the dogs! I’ve had many animals growing up from rats to alpacas so I’ve seen it all. I’m comfortable sleeping over and giving medicine, eye drop, or shots if needed.

Andrea walked my pup and did great with him! They were fast friends and he would wait by the door everyday. He came back tired every time. She was always prompt and reliable and I’ll be using her again and again.

About: Personalized occupations, 24/7 pet sitting with daily photo updates, multiple pet care, and tailored care plans, ensuring your pet’s happiness and your peace of mind🩶. As a pet sitter, I’d work with you to seamlessly fit pet care into your daily or weekly schedule by taking on key tasks, ensuring your pet’s needs are met while you’re busy.🗓️ Ensuring the safety, trust, and a comfortable environment for your pet is my top priority. I’d ensure doors, gates, and windows are locked to prevent escapes, and I’d keep hazardous items (e.g., toxic foods, small objects) out of reach. For small pets, I’d double-check cage security. All while making sure your lovable animals have a stress free and loving environment.💌

About: Prior to now, I have owned two dog boutique hotels that I have personally built from the ground up. I am familiar with all kinds of doggies and their personalities. All doggies are special to me and will receive nothing but the best of care and affection. I am currently taking care of pups in your own home unless we discuss and or have made other arrangements. I am also a commissioned artist so I would not be leaving to another job, your pup(s) would be my only concern. I might go run a couple errands, grocery store, etc... but I would enjoy just being home with your pups and painting, exercising them, playing with them or just doing whatever they are familiar in doing with you. As to your own personal instructions only. I understand, every dog has their own individual personality and each puppy has special needs. I will accompany each puppy as you wish.

About: I grow up with animals since I born. As a trainer, my close circle always trusts me to take care their pets. I am an influencer (400K followers, you can check how legit and trustworthy I am, cuz I am partnering with worldwide companies & showing my peaceful daily life), so I am creating my own schedule. Animals are my true passion & they all are my babies to me! I love them all so I choose to be a professional pet sitter. I have extensive experience with animals. For their separation anxiety I prefer to watch them in their own environment. Since I was a teenager, I was helping street dogs & cats to found homes. I took classes, and I learned how to take care animals. I learned about proper diet, housing, and medical care for variety of animals. I do have lot of experience with other animals as well as dogs & cats. I am super familiar with bunnies, turtles, chickens, cows, goats, sheeps, ducks, birds especially since I am a kid, I spent my holidays at my father’s farms. Your pets will stay happily entertained to have the best Pawsome VIP Vacation! We will have so much fun together with your dearies! I want to make sure you will be so happy and at peace leaving your pup with me; with their new best friend! I welcome meet & greets at parks, but they are not required. I can do long walks, plays, and every other needings for our dearest animals! I guarantee it will be a Dog Gone GOOD Time! I am home and at parks all of the time with All My Dearie Guest Paws and I love it! This is my full time job, and my day centers around their care, safety, health, entertainment, and much happiness in the most hygienic PawsInn! I am a full time pet sitter & that is the only way how I can see possible to do pet sitting job proper. I can fully supervise “kids” and make sure they all good and happy ;) Kindly give a bath to your most lovely puppies before giving them to me pretty please. Otherwise I need to give bath & grooming for my dearie guest paws. I will charge it. I have a fenced front yard, backyard at PawsInn, so l am supervising dearly puppies all the time, even when they are having fun at my garden. We shall do long walks, plays at the safest neighborhood parks, and fenced football fields constantly. My favorite park is next to my home, and it is our favorite because I can safely let few puppies run there leash free since this park all fenced up.

About: I am passionate about providing loving care to dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages!

Your dog's happiness and well-being are my top priorities! I am committed to maintaining routines, keeping pets active, and offering companionship tailored to each dog's personality and individual needs. I am currently on Christmas break from university so I am flexible with timing and routine. I can accommodate anyone’s schedule to work with mine. I can responsibly follow any owner’s requests.

About: Breeds I have taken care of: German shepherd Great Dane Golden Doodle Great Dane/Mastiff Hi! I’m Marissa — dog walker, house sitter, and part-time therapist for a German Shepherd named Kai, who has decided I’m his entire personality now. Kai started as a very reactive, chaotic dog at first, but now he’s out here heeling, minding his business around other dogs, and acting like he’s training me. He’s still protective but he’s not as reactive to other animals. So yes, I’m totally comfortable with big breeds, reactive dogs, anxious dogs, and dogs who are a little… dramatic. 🐾 Please note: Bookings that require extended travel or constant care may require a rate adjustment. I’m calm, patient, and I actually pay attention to your pet’s vibe. Whether your furry friend wants zoomies, snuggles, or a silent stare-down from across the room — I can match their energy. If you want someone reliable who will love your pet, hype them up, and send you funny updates, I got you. Also Kai wanted me to tell you he approves this message. I am a part time student so I’m mostly free on weekends. I spend most of my free time either studying, walking Kai, or going to the gym, so I can easily squeeze in some pet care/house sitting. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping your pet’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow your instructions closely — feeding schedule, walks, potty breaks, medications, and any house rules you have. I give lots of positive reinforcement, calm company, and plenty of play or enrichment depending on what your pet enjoys. I also keep your home tidy, double-check doors and gates, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing.

About: I became a dog lover in 2013 when I met my wife and her two pups—a Schipperke and a Chihuahua mix. Living with them until they crossed the rainbow bridge taught me how to care for dogs through all stages of life, including senior care. Now, we share our home with Walter, our fun-loving 7-year-old pug. My experience ranges from feeding and walking to giving meds and offering lots of love and attention. I treat every dog as family and understand how important it is to build trust with both pets and their people. Pet care fits naturally into my routine—I’m flexible and available for walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays during mornings, evenings, and weekends. As a pet owner myself, I know how valuable it is to have someone reliable looking after your furry family member. I care for each pet with the same love and attention I give my own. I follow all care instructions closely, ensure a clean and calm environment, and always keep pets safe—whether at home or on walks. I’m happy to send regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

I know how important trust and consistency are when someone is caring for your pet, so I focus on being responsive, dependable, and detail-oriented. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to provide reliable care throughout the week, including weekends when needed. I do my best to accommodate each pet’s routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and potty breaks so they can stay comfortable and relaxed while you’re away.

About: Dogs have been part of my life since day one! My mom has been fostering dogs ( Shamrock Pet Foundation in Louisville) since I was a baby, so I literally grew up surrounded by dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. From shy rescues to energetic puppies, I’ve had hands-on experience caring for them all. Being around dogs just comes naturally to me — they’ve always been part of my family and my everyday life. I’m confident and comfortable making them feel safe, happy, and loved. I treat every dog like they’re my own, and I always tailor care to their unique needs and personality. As a student at NPS with a flexible schedule, I have lots of time to dedicate to dog walking or pet sitting — and I’d love to spend it with your pup! Safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities when caring for pets. Whether I’m in your home or welcoming your pet into mine, I make sure they feel secure, loved, and relaxed. In your home, I always respect your space and routines. I follow your care instructions closely — from feeding and potty breaks to playtime and preferred walking routes — to keep your pet’s day as normal and stress-free as possible. In my home, pets are treated like family. I create a calm, safe environment where they can feel comfortable, whether they’re playful or more laid-back. I make sure the space is pet-proofed and that they always have access to water, cozy spots to rest, and supervised outdoor time in the dog park or in the fenced backyard. I also believe in building trust — both with your pet and with you. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos, so you always know how your furry friend is doing!

About: Although I have more cat experience, I would love the opportunity to become a dog sitter & work with diverse dog personalities. I have experience in the basic dog care such as feeding, walks, plays, and cleaning. I am eager to learn all routines and obligations that each dog owner would have for their pet. I am currently a stay at home momma, so I have more availability as I am not currently working. Weekends are my most beneficial availability, but can also help on a weekday too! I will be attentive to all the obligations that I need to fulfill while in a clients home. It us important to me to keep any trust that is given to me and do the best at my job with any animals.

Carol agreed in Oct to have visits to meet our dog in preparation for Xmas trip. Our dog is really scared of strangers. It took 6-7 visits for our dog to get used to Carol. Carol was very patient with it. She was flexible working out times and was able to do some walking visits at Xmas. She contacted us with updates and questions and we felt like our dog was in good hands. We will continue to work with Carol now that our dog has another person she likes!
