About: I grew up taking care of our family dogs as well as having my own dogs as an adult. Sadly, my pup passed away earlier this year and while I am not ready to get another dog of my own, I am excited to help care for yours and give you peace of mind while you are away. I have had little and big dogs in my life and am open to all sizes. Your dog does need to get along well with children as my kids love to play with dogs. They are also used to having a senior dog around as our dog aged so they also know when to give a dog space and be gentle. I work from home most days and your dog will have free rain of our house. I work from home most days so will be around to take your dog for walks as they need them. Your dog will have free rain of our house and we have a nice back outside area to walk or run around in. We also have a beautiful nature trail right behind our neighborhood. I love to spend time playing or just chilling and petting/loving on your dog. I love walks outside and if your dog likes to play with kids we have 5 of them that love dogs. They are also used to senior dogs so know how to be gentle. We do have stairs so your dog needs to be comfortable on stairs or small enough to carry. I will follow whatever your food/med/walk routines are.

About: Hello! My name is lily and I am passionate about animal care and nutrition. I have gained so much insight working in numerous boarding facilities and specialty pet food stores. I love learning, meeting, helping, and handling all of your furry friends needs! I have background in canine handling of all sizes and temperaments. I have worked with all ages and enjoy the daily challenges and achievements of all. On top of this I am confident in administering medication if needed to ensure exemplary care is provided. My overall goal is to ensure the both happiness and satisfaction from both the pet and the owner. I have obtained numerous handling and first aid certifications to gain as much knowledge in caring for your pet! In my daily routine I wake up around 6am every morning to prepare my cats and dogs breakfast. This typically looks like a mix of wet food with Chicken Hearts, Minnows, livers, or other fun additions. Then my dog Levi and head out for our walk and daily training. We typically repeat this process every night for dinner. I clean out my cats litter boxes daily and ensure monthly grooming of all animals is completed at the beginning of the month. Animal care is always a top priority in my house. I am more than comfortable adhering to the best schedule for your pets needs in their environment. Drop in visits will hopefully maintain the animals routine as closely as possible as it would with their owner, with of course some added fun hopefully some extra love while the owner is away!

About: My daughters complain that their fur babies are spoiled when I return them. (And, they keep asking me to take care of them despite this. ) I prefer it over the Day job, And find the company of pets so rewarding. If I could make pet care a full time job, I would. I welcome them in like guests. But, of course follow instructions given pertaining to their care. I have a soft crate and raised dog beds with covers that can be washed each visit.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs of all sizes and have 6 years of experience making sure pets stay happy and healthy while their owners are away. I have a ton of energy for long walks, park trips, and playing fetch for high-energy dogs, but I also can be calm and relaxed for senior dogs. Because I study at home, my schedule is very flexible, which is perfect for house-sitting! I can spend the majority of my day at your home, ensuring your pet is never left alone for long periods. I’m available for overnight stays during the week and on weekends, and I make it a priority to stick to your pet's specific walking and feeding routine so their day feels totally normal while you're away. I take the responsibility of staying in your home very seriously. I am extremely diligent about home security—always double-checking that doors and windows are locked and that your pet is secure before I step out. I pride myself on leaving your home exactly as I found it (or cleaner!). I’m also a very frequent communicator; I love sending daily photo updates and quick 'check-ins' so you never have to wonder how things are going.

About: stays), you could write: I’ve been taking care of dogs for quite a while now. Many of my neighbors and family friends trust me to look after their dogs. I provide in-home drop-in visits and dog walks, making sure dogs are fed, exercised, and well cared for while their owners are away. At this time, I only offer drop-in visits and walks and do not provide overnight care. I am currently working a part time job but as it is my summer break and there isn’t much happening in my day I am mostly free at home I have a huge house so I just let the dogs play around in the basement and if they ever need a friend for company we have 3 other dogs on my street that they can meet and they are very friendly

About: I love animals, especially dogs, and spend a lot of my free time volunteering at local shelters. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and disabilities. Currently I am caring for two dogs with disabilities long term: and elderly French Bulldog with partial paralysis, and a young pittie mix with three legs due to a car accident. These dogs require equal amounts of patience and love when being cared for, as well as extra attention and physical aid with mobility (ex. going up and down stairs) I'm someone who genuinely loves animals, and would do this for free if everything wasn't so expensive now. I will take the time to socialize and get to know your pet so they are comfortable, relaxed, and overjoyed when I arrive. I also have a medical background which makes me very comfortable dealing with pet medications and special needs. I currently work part time with a flexible schedule. This allows me to plan around my clients schedules and ensure I am free to care for your pet almost any day and time. I take care of two disabled dogs full time, they require extra care and attention but you can expect that same level from me when I care for any pet. You can expect me to tailor the experience to your specific doggos needs, to socialize and play with them, and to make sure they're always overjoyed when I stop by. I have good attention to detail and a medical background which allows me to handle any special needs or routines your pet has.

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my genuine love for animals and over a decade of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. While I don’t have formal training, I’m highly dependable, quick to adapt to each pet’s unique needs and personality, and treat every animal as if they were my own. My focus is always on making pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I have a very flexible schedule to care for pets as a recent college graduate seeking employment. You tell me when you need me and I’ll be there! Taking care of someone’s pet in their home is actually taking care of a pet in their home. It is my priority to know your pets schedule, likes, and dislikes to ensure it’s comfortability while your gone. (Some extra treats too!)

About: What sets me apart is that I’m not just a sitter—I’m a dog mom myself, so I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pup with someone. I treat every dog like they’re my own, with genuine love, patience, and attention to detail. Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, or just a calm presence, I’m here to give them the same care and comfort they’d get at home. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give your pet the attention they deserve. I’m available for early morning walks, midday drop-ins, and evening snuggles. I also offer overnight care for those who need a loving presence while they’re away. My routine can easily be tailored around your pet’s feeding, walking, and potty schedule. Pet care is a huge part of my life — it’s not something I fit in, it’s something I prioritize. From daily walks with my own dogs to checking in on client pups, I dedicate specific time each day to ensure every dog gets quality care, play, and attention. I always plan my day around their needs, not the other way around. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, safety and comfort always come first. I create a calm, structured environment and supervise interactions closely. I keep a close eye during walks, use secure leashes, and never leave pets unattended. In your home, I respect your space and routines, following any special instructions you leave. I also send plenty of updates, photos, and videos so you always feel connected and reassured.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was a child. I love going on long walk with dogs, playing with cats, and simply just having them as company. I have experience with big and small dogs, as well as many breeds of cats. I am comfortable with long and short walks, house visits, as well as just company/play time. I’m currently working part time as a clinical medical assistant, as well as finishing my college degree. I like to spend my spare time with animals, and enjoy going on walks early in the morning, or even late at night. I am able to work around my schedule and do house visits at your convenience. I am good with keeping animals secure and on a leash while on walks, keeping them on the property and ensuring their safety. I am experienced in crate training as well.

Alyssa, thank you so much for taking such great care of Nora. You are a true professional—punctual, reliable, and a complete pleasure to work with. I especially appreciate your patience and flexibility. As a rescue, Nora can be quite anxious around new people, but she clearly grew comfortable with you and did wonderfully. I couldn't be happier with your dog walking services. I will definitely reach out again in the future and will highly recommend you to anyone looking for a great dog walker. Best, Patricia S.

Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
