About: Hey there 👋🏼 I’m just a girl who grew up with dogs and cats. I have always considered my pets to be a part of the family. I have never known a world without them! I’m very comfortable around dogs of all temperaments, sizes, ages etc. I have been a dog sitter/walker for many pups in the past! I also have experience with giving dogs medication (pills and shots), so I’m happy to help with that if need be! I also foster puppies, so I understand the amount of time and attention those little balls of energy need. If I sound like a good fit, please reach out! 🐾 Currently I’m a stay at home mom who, surprisingly enough, has time to help out with your pet sitting needs! My schedule is flexible. I’m happy to work out a consistent schedule for you! I’m known to be timely, respectful, and responsible while caring for other peoples pets and homes. I find joy in being around animals, and I treat all animals like my own.

“I am eternally greatful for Liz!! She came to my home and met with me pups, agreed to come and do a couple of drop ins for me during a busy weekend. Not only was her communication prompt, her care and compassion was just what my pups needed. I have a nervous dog and Liz had no issues and knew how to handle her with ease. Will definitely hire again in the future 🧡”


“Gabby did an incredible job taking care of my cats while I was away! Not only was she attentive and loving, but she was also able to give my cat their medicine with no issues, which was a huge relief. She kept me updated with regular messages, photos, and videos, so I always knew my pet was in good hands. My cats seemed happy and well cared for when I returned. I highly recommend Gabby to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”


“We had Molly come in for visits twice a day while we were vacationing. Our little dog can be a grumpy little stinker, but Molly won him over quickly. She was even getting kisses! She did a great job of taking care of Reggie and even made things work when we extended the booking by a day. We definitely recommend Molly.”


“Elena is wonderful! We can't say enough good things about her. Excellent care for our cat when we're away, great communication, fun pictures & videos daily, and a very clean house to return home to. We would highly recommend her to everyone!”


“Joshua was an excellent sitter for my cat! I will be returning to him for my next vacation. House was perfectly clean when I got back and Joshua was very communicative during my trip.”


About: Hello, Im 18 years old, and just recently graduated hugh school. I am looking for a fun way to make money before I leave for college! Ive grown up taking care of dogs, and been around dogs since I was born. Ive always had a love for animals, especially dogs. I enjoy taking them for walks and watching them whenever needed. I cannot watch the dogs at my house, because my own dog isn’t friendly to other dogs, but i would be willing to come to you and dog sit/watch your dog whenever I am available to do so! I work in the mornings, but I am willing to get up early to let the dog out, and after work I would love to walk dogs! I also love working out, so taking your dog for a walk/run will fit perfectly with my schedule. I have a dog of my own, and I love teaching her new tricks and just taking care of her. If your dog doesn’t know very many tricks I would be willing to teach them simple things like sit and shake. I am available to walk your dogs as well!

About: My entire life has been filled with a Love for animals. I treat animals with the utmost respect and care. They are family. I'm am also well versed in Special needs caregiving, including harness walks, backpack walks, wheelchair use, giving medication and first aid care.

I'm currently working full time, but my hours vary depending on the day. I have openings available, and I'm sure we can work out the details. My goal is to get moving! Going outside for some fun games in the yard, in the pool, or on a trail for environmental enrichment hikes is always a delight. I love to get those sniffers working and brains interested. I will always walk with proper equipment, including 6 foot leash, or long lead if allowed. If you have toys, games or favorite treats you would like me to use, I would love to help with keeping your pet happy. Working on training every day is an important part of caring for animals. Busy minds and bodies, make for tired & happy well rounded individuals.
