About: With years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments, I bring a deep understanding of animal behavior, along with a calm, confident approach to every pet I work with. My background includes specialized care for both energetic puppies in need of training reinforcement and gentle, attentive support for senior dogs who require a slower pace and extra comfort. What sets me apart is my commitment to individualized care. I tailor each visit or session based on your dog’s specific needs—whether it's administering medication, practicing leash etiquette, or simply providing consistent, loving companionship. I also prioritize communication, providing real-time updates and detailed summaries so you’re always in the loop. This isn’t just pet sitting—it’s professional, compassionate care built on trust, patience, and genuine love for animals. My lovely wife & I work from home, which allows us ample time and full focus to care for your pets throughout the day. This flexibility means I can provide attentive, consistent care tailored to your cat’s needs without rushing. I’m available for bookings Monday through Friday, offering reliable visits that fit seamlessly into your pet’s routine. With me, your cat will receive the loving care and companionship they deserve while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities, whether caring for them in my home or yours. I live in a secure apartment complex with a fully fenced dog park, providing a safe, controlled space where dogs can run, play, and socialize freely. Additionally, there’s ample yard space nearby for them to explore and frolic in a natural, stimulating environment. I maintain a clean, calm, and pet-friendly atmosphere that encourages trust and relaxation. Every outing and interaction is carefully supervised to ensure your pet’s well-being at all times. You can feel confident knowing your furry friend is in caring, responsible hands.

About: My friends would say my love for animals is one of my most defining features. If you look at my social media explore pages or scroll through my camera roll, it is genuinely just an endless album of adorable dogs and cats I've encountered everywhere. Animals bring me joy that I don’t think can be replicated in another way and it always makes my day whenever I just pass by one. I love wholesomeness and with that said I sincerely care about providing the best possible care, endless affection, and a safe, happy environment for every pet I have the privilege of looking after. It brings me so much unfathomable joy to do what I love most as a hobby as a job. As a part-time student, I have a flexible schedule with a lot of free time on days I don't have classes. This gives me alot of time to schedule pet care into my routine! I like to be a patient and attentive caregiver, understanding that every pet has unique needs and preferences, whether it's during meal times or grooming. I'll actively monitor their environment to ensure their safety and well-being and will always reach out to you if I have any concerns.

About: I’ve cared for animals for over 5 years, including adopting three cats and raising two dogs. I truly love animals and treat every pet like my own. I regularly help friends with pet sitting and feeding, and I also volunteer as a foster for shelter cats. My experience spans caring for both dogs and cats, including those with unique needs or personalities. I currently work full-time but am available on my days off — Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Sundays — to care for your pets. I can also provide evening check-ins or walks on workdays with advance notice. Your pet’s comfort and routine are always my top priority! I provide pet care in your home, where your pet feels most comfortable and secure. I’m respectful of your space, follow all care instructions carefully, and ensure your pet gets the attention, playtime, and companionship they need while you’re away. Your pet’s well-being and your peace of mind are my top priorities.

About: Hi, my name is Vivian and I would love to get a chance to know your pet! I absolutely love animals and dogs have a special place in my heart. I have a lot of experience in dog walking and basic pet care, as I have a dog myself. I also have experience caring for cats and have one myself as well. I can be relied on to walk, feed, and bathe your pets as needed and if your pet is on a schedule I will make sure it is followed. I would love to get to know you and your furried friend better and give your pet the care it deserves. Looking forward to meeting and getting to know both you and your pet! I am a recent college graduate student and am available to work any day of the week, especially for the summer. I would love to spend time with and to care for your furry friends! I typically walk my own dog as a part of my daily routine and I would be glad to make helping you out as another part of my daily routine. In my own home, my dog is pretty well-trained. He knows not “go” in the house, listens to basic commands, and gets along with people and other dogs well. Therefore we do not have restrictions for him in the house. However, if your dog is not allowed to go into certain areas of the house or onto certain furniture or requires to be put in their cage, I have no problem keeping them out of restricted areas and putting them in their cages before leaving if requested.

About: 🐾 Experienced & Compassionate Animal Care with a Healthcare Hero 🤎💯 Hi there! My name is Ivan, and I bring over 15 years of hands on experience caring for beloved pets of all kinds, from playful pups and cuddly cats to exotic reptiles, rodents, birds, and fish. Whether it was caring for my own large animal-loving family’s pets or boarding for extended friends and clients, I’ve built a life around patience, compassion, and responsibility. I’m proud to offer a patient, nurturing, and medically informed approach to pet care. I currently work in healthcare, with a background in hospice care and MRI, along with patient safety, which means I’m naturally calm, attentive, and deeply tuned in to the needs of others, furry, feathered, or scaled. Now that I’m studying full-time from home and my beloved rescue husky Tony Montana has crossed the rainbow bridge, I’ve opened my heart (and my schedule!) to help other families travel stress-free, knowing their pets are loved and safe. I specialize in: • 🐶 Dog sitting & boarding • 🐱 Cat care & boarding • 🐍 Exotics, reptiles, rodents, birds, and fish • 💊 Administering meds & caring for seniors or special-needs pets • 🏡 In-home care or flexible boarding options • ✈️ Helping you travel without guilt or FOMO! Your pets will be treated like family in a secure, nurturing environment. I’m punctual, responsive, and open to negotiation for the right fit. My mission is simple: to offer top-notch, worry-free pet care you can count on. Let’s connect! I’d love to meet your family pet and give you peace of mind while you’re away. 💛 ✨ Genuine reviews and kind referrals mean the world to me. Your pet will be safe here with no other animals to bother them, can crate upon your request. My career in healthcare has taught me the value of patience, attention to detail, and compassionate care, not just for people, but for every living being I encounter. I’ve worked in both hospice and diagnostic imaging environments, where I helped ease patients through some of their most vulnerable moments. That experience has shaped me into a calm, reliable, and nurturing caretaker, someone who understands the importance of safety, comfort, and trust, whether I’m supporting a person or a beloved family pet. After years of dedication to full-time work, I’ve recently shifted my focus to furthering my education through online study. This new chapter has given me the flexibility and time to return to something that has always brought me joy: caring for animals. With my schedule now wide open, I’m able to provide attentive, personalized care through house sitting, pet sitting, drop-in visits, and boarding services. The passing of my senior rescue dog, Tony Montana, was a deeply emotional moment that reminded me just how meaningful the human-animal bond can be. In his honor, I’m now choosing to open my heart and home to help others. Whether you need peace of mind while you’re traveling or consistent, loving support for your pet while you’re away, I’m here, eager, dependable, and ready to serve with the same compassion I brought to healthcare. 🐾 Experienced & Compassionate Animal Care with a Medical Touch 🐾 Hi there!

I have a senior dog friendly cat that minds her business and stays out of everyone’s way. She has been chased by small and big dogs and never became scared or aggressive as they were simply overstimulated and were not allowed to even reach her. So besides a cat thats nowhere to be seen and is unbothered by other cats and dogs, your pet would be spoiled rotten here.

About: Everyone says I am a natural with animals. I have not met a pet that didn’t melt my heart . Every interaction with an animal is one of a kind and special in its own way. Dogs truly leave imprints in your heart they are family. I believe every dog is deserving of love , cuddles and lots of patience. Repetition and Redirecting with positive reinforcement are the keys to a well behaved pup. I will offer only what is best for your furry friend. Be assured that they will be in great loving hands with me and my family. When booked for day care or boarding. I would be following a schedule with your pet. We will have a fun day filled with routines, exercise and play time for cognitive stimulation My biggest goal is to make your pet feel safe and comfortable. They will always be kept separate from other pets I have at all times. Unless you request your pup to socialize. I will offer your pup a schedule that is fitting for them.

About: My love for dogs have grown as I got older especially when i started to be relied on by family & family friends to walk there dogs. & from there on I’ve been loving it since. I’m currently working a part time & able to work my schedule around which makes room for me to focus on other things to do outside of my job, which had brought me the idea to take pet care more serious. When it comes to pet care I take into consideration on how loved these animals are by their owners & treat them like my own. I am more aware of my surroundings & to what’s going on for my safety & especially your pets safety as they also have a home to get back to.

Sarah is the biggest pet lover I know. She is sweet and kind and would never mistreat any animal. She is the type of person to cry when they see something too cute. Other than her love for animals, she is very courteous and respectful. I can imagine her picking up any messes left behind and doing her best to be respectful to others while doing this job. I have no doubt that you will be satisfied if Sarah is your pet caregiver.

Vivian has watched my dog multiple times, and my dog always returns playful and happy. I have a Maltese mix puppy who is full of energy and can be a handful at times. Since my dog is a puppy I try to have him on a routine schedule and Vivian was very flexible and accommodating to that. She made sure he was walked to go to the bathroom, fed at the proper time, and of course loved!! She is a very reliable, responsible and friendly person who your dog will love. I know my dog is in good hands because now once he sees her or I say “Vivian is coming” he immediately wags his tail and gets excited. Definitely a great choice to watch your pet.

After years of dedication to full-time work, I’ve recently shifted my focus to furthering my education through online study. This new chapter has given me the flexibility and time to return to something that has always brought me joy: caring for animals. With my schedule now wide open, I’m able to provide attentive, personalized care through house sitting, pet sitting, drop-in visits, and boarding services. The passing of my senior rescue dog, Tony Montana, was a deeply emotional moment that reminded me just how meaningful the human-animal bond can be. In his honor, I’m now choosing to open my heart and home to help others. Whether you need peace of mind while you’re traveling or consistent, loving support for your pet while you’re away, I’m here, eager, dependable, and ready to serve with the same compassion I brought to healthcare. 🐾 Experienced & Compassionate Animal Care with a Medical Touch 🐾 Hi there! My name is Ivan, and I bring over 15 years of hands on experience caring for beloved pets of all kinds, from playful pups and cuddly cats to exotic reptiles, rodents, birds, and fish. Whether it was caring for my own large animal-loving family’s pets or boarding for extended friends and clients, I’ve built a life around patience, compassion, and responsibility. I’m proud to offer a patient, nurturing, and medically informed approach to pet care. I currently work in healthcare, with a background in hospice care and MRI, along with patient safety, which means I’m naturally calm, attentive, and deeply tuned in to the needs of others, furry, feathered, or scaled. Now that I’m studying full-time from home and my beloved rescue husky Tony Montana has crossed the rainbow bridge, I’ve opened my heart (and my schedule!) to help other families travel stress-free, knowing their pets are loved and safe. I specialize in: • 🐶 Dog sitting & boarding • 🐱 Cat care & boarding • 🐍 Exotics, reptiles, rodents, birds, and fish • 💊 Administering meds & caring for seniors or special-needs pets • 🏡 In-home care or flexible boarding options • ✈️ Helping you travel without guilt or FOMO! Your pets will be treated like family in a secure, nurturing environment. I’m punctual, responsive, and open to negotiation for the right fit. My mission is simple: to offer top-notch, worry-free pet care you can count on. Let’s connect! I’d love to meet your family pet and give you peace of mind while you’re away. 💛 ✨ Genuine reviews and kind referrals mean the world to me. Your pet will be safe here with no other animals to bother them, can crate upon your request. Your pet will be safe here with no other animals to bother them, can crate upon your request. I have a senior dog friendly cat that minds her business and stays out of everyone’s way. She has been chased by small and big dogs and never became scared or aggressive as they were simply overstimulated and were not allowed to even reach her. So besides a cat thats nowhere to be seen and is unbothered by other cats and dogs, your pet would be spoiled rotten here.

I have known Eligia for over 30 years. I would like to give my recommendation and praise to Eligia there is no question of her trustworthiness and her love of animals. An exceptional caretaker and trainer of both large and small animals. She is not only an exceptional caretaker and trainer but knowledgeable, reliable, efficient and devoted. She demonstrates enormous love and compassion for all animals. Her rates are very reasonable for the service she provides she is not your average pet sitter. Thanks Yenlys

Amazing! We will totally use him again. One of our dogs is a rescue and is scared of everyone. Told Justin no worries if she won’t go with you for a walk. She happily went with him. Thrilled. He definitely has a way with animals. Absolutely using him in future.

Byron took great care of my dog when I went on vacation for 1 week. He would send me pictures of my dog everyday while out for a walk or playing at the park. He is an amazing dog sitter. Most definitely would recommend to anyone looking for a safe place to leave their 4 legged baby.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for over 9 years. I’ve had two dogs and two cats growing up so I am very comfortable and love them! I am pretty flexible as I make my own schedule so I am open to mornings or afternoons for helping out. I can make anytime work I follow all the rules that the client gives me down to the t. I also ensure to ask question if I need more clarity. I make sure the dog is always on a leash if we are outside walking and fed at all times

Gabriela is a great caretaker of my senior beagle. She is very patient and kind when it comes to walking and taking care, often going above and beyond what is needed. Would highly recommend to anyone who needs someone to walk their dogs.
