About: As a pre-vet student with years of experience caring for animals, I bring a unique combination of knowledge, passion, and hands-on expertise to pet sitting. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, ensuring their needs are met with love and professionalism. What sets me apart is my deep understanding of animal behavior and health, paired with a genuine love for every pet I meet. My spacious home features a large, secure yard perfect for playtime, and I’m home most of the day, allowing me to provide attentive, round-the-clock care. Your pets will feel safe, loved, and right at home with me! Hi, I’m Sahab! I’m a pre-vet student with a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for your pets. I work early mornings and am home by mid-morning, so I’m available for late-night potty breaks and have the rest of the day to provide attentive, loving care. My passion for animals and years of hands-on experience make me a reliable and compassionate choice for your pet’s needs, no matter the day of the week. My home is perfect for pets of all sizes, with plenty of space for them to feel comfortable and relaxed. I have a large backyard where dogs can play and stretch their legs, as well as both large and small kennels to accommodate different needs. I also have leashes and other essentials on hand, making it easy to ensure your pet’s routine is maintained. Whether your pet needs playtime, quiet time, or special care, I’m well-equipped to keep them happy and comfortable during their stay.

“Evelyn has been my walker for a few weeks now and I cannot recommend her highly enough. She has managed my 140lb Dogo Argentino like a pro and I'm starting to suspect he may like her more than me. I definitely see disappointment on his face when it's me coming through the door, but he does an okay job hiding it.”

8. Kristie P.
“Many people claim to care about their pets. The pets them selves are the testimony. Many fail that test. Kristie's dog Tanner is her testimony. Tanner was neglected and not wanted before Kristie adopted him. Now he is a well trained, well cared for, healthy, happy dog. Nothing speaks louder than actions. Kristie's love and care for animals is dominantly evident in her own dog. ”

“Priscilla is our exceptional dog sitter. Her extensive background in veterinary care, coupled with her in-depth knowledge of dog training, sets her apart from anyone else in this field. Each interaction with our pets has been handled with the utmost care, compassion, and professionalism. Her veterinary expertise gives us complete peace of mind, knowing that our dogs are not only being looked after, but their health and well-being are also being monitored by an expert. Priscilla is truly set apart by her genuine love for animals. Our dogs and cats have never been happier and we are convinced that it's down to the high level of care and attention they receive from her. We would highly recommend her to any pet owner looking for a reliable, experienced, and highly skilled dog sitter.”

“Haley came to my home for a meet and greet before her walk with Spirit. She was very sweet and answered all of my questions and made me feel at ease that my pup was in good hands. And he was. She communicated very well if anything occurred. I would definitely let her walk Spirit again.”

15. Madison S.
About: Through a local Animal Rescue, I have cared for dogs and cats of every size and breed. I currently foster kittens rescued from high kill shelters and help place them into loving homes. I also have extensive experience with providing specialized care to baby kittens and puppies as young as 2 weeks old. I currently work from home. My flexible schedule affords time to pursue other hobbies and passions - like caring for animals. I’m available most weekdays 5-8am, 12-1pm, and 6-10pm. Weekends I have flexible availability. I have experience with leash training and can work with your pet on basic commands during walks. I can also easily crate your pet after walks/visits if needed.

18. Heather H.
“I can definitely vouch for Heather's love for animals and her abilities to care for them. As a child, her best friend was a dog who dedicated herself to Heather. Heather spent hours playing with and caring for this dog. She was exposed to many different kinds of animals since her early childhood, so she does not have a fear of animals. Once, she rescued a little dachshund puppy from being tossed around by some neighborhood boys. She doesn't mind stepping in and advocating for mistreated animals. As a young adult and as a mature woman, she has owned cats and dogs (most were rescue adoptions). She has always stayed on top of their health and welfare - making sure they are current on vaccinations, providing them with the very best food for their various dietary conditions, making sure they visit a vet if necessary. At times she went into debt in order for various pets to have medical attention. She makes sure to walk her dog at least five times a week before she goes to work. She recognizes that this dog needs a lot of exercise and makes sure she gets it. She also pays top dollar for a dog sitting facility when she travels because her dog's welfare and happiness are important to her. I believe she is very intuitive about animals. Yes, she has taken care of my dogs and cats over the years. I've never seen her abuse an animal in any way. She knows that an animal owner has a responsibility to care for their animals and she follows this belief. While she does not "gush" over animals, she really likes animals and they seems very attracted to her. She has no problem cleaning up after them, making sure they have food and water, and making sure they get attention.”
