Tenielle came to meet our pup beforehand and clicked immediately with her. I very much appreciated the daily photos and videos. I highly recommend Tenielle!”
“Amazing person. Gentle, kind and caring with my pup. House sat and was respectful with my home, and left everything immaculate (not easy with a puppy who is still house training!). Great communication and sent lots of pic too!”
About: Hi there! I'm Erick , and I've been taking care of dogs since I was eight years old. My love for dogs began when my older sister received a Shih Tzu named Prissy, but honestly, Prissy quickly became my dog. From feeding and walking to playing, I was the one who cared for her. Our neighbors quickly noticed how well I took care of Prissy, and before I knew it, I was looking after their dogs on weekends. Taking care of dogs has always been a passion of mine, and over the years, I’ve had the privilege of caring for countless dogs, learning their unique personalities and needs. No matter how many times I’ve been bitten, I’ve never been mad—though I’ve shed a few tears! My deep love for dogs only grew stronger. As I got older, I worked a variety of delivery jobs, but I never stopped caring for dogs on the weekends. I’ve met so many wonderful pups along the way that I started carrying treats with me everywhere, just in case I ran into a dog who needed a snack or a little attention. Ask, and I’ll have a big bag of treats and water ready for your dog too! Throughout my journey, I've even had the chance to train a few dogs in fun tricks, including my own. My dog, Kairo, knows a variety of commands like "fetch," "sit," "stay," "spin," "paw," "bed," and even "whisper." Seeing the bond and communication between a dog and their owner is something I truly cherish. If you're looking for someone who truly cares about dogs, someone with years of experience and a genuine love for animals, I’m here to help. Whether you need a reliable dog walker or a loving dog sitter, you can trust me to treat your dog as if they were my own. Let’s connect and talk about how I can care for your furry friend! I work part-time as a dog walker and sitter, primarily on Sundays and Mondays. However, I’m also available for late-night walks or sitting after 8 PM if needed. I’ll get on the ground with your dog, ensuring they feel comfortable and engaged. I provide walks at least four times a day, or more if needed, and make sure they’re fed two to three times daily—or as often as you prefer. Additionally, I have a male dog that I can bring along for playtime, as long as both dogs have up-to-date medical records for safety.
About: I've taken care of animals ranging from four legged cats and dogs. To four legged geckos and guinea pigs. I am always prepared for a nice walk. So let's stretch out legs together. I currently work from home as a crochet artist i own two dogs, a boy min pin named Poppa. Ive been taking care and loving him as my own since my mom's passing. I have a Yorkie and a leopard gecko. I love them all I will be providing food eater walks whatever is needed. I will have a pouch of pet treats. I will move at the babies pace. We don't want to scare them we want a life long bond.
About: I’ve always had the aspiration for pet & vet care of not just household pets but other animals that we all deeply care and love. I have just currently graduated college so I am available during the weekdays. If needed I am happy to adjust my schedule if needed on the weekends. As of last year I had 2 dogs, my oldest who sadly passed away was 16 years old and my youngest is now 7 years old. I have taken care of my pets and others as if they were my own. I will feed them, spend time with them, and if allowed, introduce them to my own dog. I have worked at a dog adoption center so I have had a lot of experience working with smaller and bigger dogs. My job was to help dogs that may have had issues with being around other people, get out of their shell and become more comfortable with others around. I care to make your dog feel as comfortable as possible while in my care.
“Cristin was great in taking care of our cat and dog! When a few small hiccups came up throughout the stat, she clearly and promptly communicated to with us. Both of our pets were healthy and happy when coming home, and our shy cat especially warmed up to her!”
About: I love dogs and have had them my whole life. My dog Peanut, who’s in my profile picture with me, is my pride and joy, and I plan on taking care of him when I have my own home. My parents are out of town for work quite often, so I have cared for him on my own for extended periods of time, and I love spending time with him. I helped crate train him when he was younger as well, on top of other skills. I would love to help take care of others’ pets, and get to know everyone’s amazing animals! I’m a full time college student, and go to school on the Upper East Side in Manhattan, so I will definitely have weekday availability to anyone in the city who needs pet care. I’ll be mostly available in the afternoon, but I also have my hours available on my profile. I have one small-medium size, very friendly dog at home, and a fenced in backyard in a quiet neighborhood. I would prefer to do visits in the clients home, because I do live with my family, however depending on the dog it may be possible.
“Azilee was wonderful!! She treated my dogs like her own. She sent pictures often and made me feel at ease. The dogs looked happy. I thought she was the best. I would recommend her to everyone and rebook her without hesitation!!!”
“Joshua was very flexible about meeting ahead of his stay in order to make sure that the sit went well. It was also great about accommodating my schedule and special requests.”
About: I work in a doggy daycare and I love interacting with the dogs and playing with them. The little ones stick like glue to me, they love following me around and beg me to pick them up! I like to keep them busy by playing with them and encouraging play time with the other dogs. I'm comfortable with dogs of any sizes, and of any age. I do love the senior doggies, they're so sweet. I work full time, and I offer my services around my working hours. I have open availability on my 2 days off as well so I can utilize my services those 2 days anytime. When I go into clients home, I'm very mindful that I am in someone elses space and they have entrusted me to go into their home and tend to their fur baby. It's important to me to respect my clients home and only go in to provide the service that they have requested and compensated me for. I want to foster a trusting, long-term relationship with my clients and only provide the best service to retain clients. This shows in my work and I can provide references if needed.

In your home- With instruction, direction and suggestion, I will make sure to care for your pup the way they are used to,

She’ll stop to greet every dog she passes like they’re old friends. She used to groom her own dog, so she’s no stranger to the hands-on things, and she’s always calm, patient, and super attentive. Dogs absolutely love her, and the feeling is definitely mutual. She treats every pup like her own, and I’d trust her with any dog in a heartbeat. Highly, highly recommend her to anyone needing a kind, reliable, and experienced dog caregiver!”
