Martina has been extremely reliable and patient. She’s always communicative during the walks and keeps me updated, which I really appreciate. Being in the Army with unpredictable hours is tough, but she truly puts my mind at ease knowing my baby is getting the care and attention he needs when I can’t be there. I’m so thankful for her!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was little, growing up my grandma had a lot of dogs which started my love for them. I have taken care of many stray dogs around my area, i’ve also dog sitted for many local people in my hometown neighborhood. I’ve handled cats, rabbits, horses, and even turtles lol. Small or big , Reptile or mammal I love them all unconditionally :). I currently just got out of the military, so my schedule is always free. I’m available monday-friday maybe even during the weekend. I don’t really take too many trips so I could be available during holidays as well. I have a fenced in backyard where your fur baby is free to play whenever. I have 3 fur babies of my own, very friendly to other animals and they love to play. I also interact with them outside daily so if your fur baby loves to play he or she will have lots of company to do so.

About: I’ve had and taken care of dogs my whole life! I have experience with young, senior, active, and working dogs. My family dog growing up was born deaf and with a thyroid condition so I am very familiar with medication admission or other disabilities. My husband and I often work different shifts so someone is often home with the dog(s). I have no problem moving work around to care for your furbaby! I have a fenced in yard and large home. There is only one dog and plenty of room for the dogs to stretch their legs or spread out. I am active and will run or walk your pet!

About: I have taken care of high energy and working dogs for years. I grew up with hunting dogs and have a working dog myself. Caring for animals in my spare time is something I enjoy and cannot get enough of! I work full time, however mornings, lunch breaks, and nights are devoted to my animals and my weekends are devoted to exploring new places with my favorite companion. I have a 3 year old Belgian Malinois who will keep your pet company and have ample space and a wonderful park to make sure your pet gets their needed exercise.

About: My family and I are trained as a foster parent through Pawmetto lifeline but I am currently taking a small break or else I will end up with 20 dogs! I have been around animals my whole life and feel that a home is not complete without them. I am very comfortable with adjusting my life to their routines and active training. I DO REQUIRE PROOF OF FLEA, TICK, & HEARTWORM MEDICATION *Note: I will accept exclusive boarding (just your dog) if booked far enough in advance for an additional rate. Your pet would do perfect with me! I am a full-time online students and mama. This leaves me with open available and perfect for the pets who struggle with separation anxiety. Our days consist of some classes then walks when the weather is nice, zoomies in our large shaded backyard, car rides, and of course some much-needed nap time! I have a house where dogs ARE allowed on the couch and bed, a big fenced yard, and a warm cement patio for basking in the sun. Plus various shaded areas, on hot days I do limit out time side to prevent over heating. I have various rooms in my house to section off if the fur-baby needs some "me time". I am trained in the unlikely event of a dog fight to safely separate the dogs.

About: Hello! I have been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. I have grown up with dogs and cats my entire life (though in the latter years it has been just dogs). I have experience with all sizes and breeds of dogs, and various stages of their lives. I lost my senior girl last year (she was 14) and I raised her for her entire life. In her golden years, we would just sit and spend time together, petting her and just "being". She had some "old girl" issues that came about with a weekend bladder, and we took it in stride, as it is just a part of life. I also have a boisterous 100 lb German Shepherd that keeps me on my toes! He loves to play fetch and would run all day if he could. I would love to help you and your family out with providing walks for your pet during the week to stretch their legs, get some fresh air and maybe chase a few balls, or provide longer-term care if your family needs to go out of town. I treat each pet as if they were my own, with all the snuggles and pets they will allow, as well as just being good company. I am understanding of how stressful it can be to find care for your pet that sets your mind at ease, knowing they are getting the best care they can get (aside from you, their owner). I would love to provide these services for you and your pet, so you know they are getting the very best. I am currently working part time which leaves me plenty of time to look after your pups, either for walks of longer periods of play time. I am very vigilant with my dogs when they are outside, and I am always aware of where they are. I will treat yours just as I would treat my own.

Somiya was very proactive and reached out to meet my dog beforehand so that she would know how to best take care of her. I also loved the follow up pictures and notes on how my doggie behaved. I definitely recommend Somiya if you are looking for someone to go above and beyond for your pets needs!

About: Originally from North Italy I have hands-on experience working with dogs through my role as a K9 Search and Rescue Coordinator in Germany before moving here not long ago, where I trained and handled dogs in obedience, tracking, and real-world scenarios. This experience taught me how to stay calm, patient, and attentive while ensuring each dog’s safety and well-being. I’m currently studying Veterinary Medicine, which allows me to better understand animal health, behavior, and care. With over 18 years of experience in customer service and working with people, I bring strong communication, reliability, and attention to detail to every pet I care for. I treat every dog like family and always follow their routine closely to make them feel safe and comfortable. I’m also fluent in English, Spanish, Italian, and French, making communication easy for a wide range of pet parents. I offer reliable weekday availability focused on dog walks and drop-in visits. I’m building pet care as my full-time focus, which allows me to provide consistent, on-time care Monday through Friday. I’m available for daily walks, feeding visits, and check-ins, and I’m happy to maintain your pet’s routine while you’re at work or away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. With my experience in K9 search and rescue and my ongoing studies in veterinary medicine, I’m trained to stay calm, attentive, and responsive in any situation. I understand animal behavior and how to provide safe, structured, and stress-free care in your home. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions. During walks and visits, I make sure pets get the right balance of exercise, attention, and care. My goal is to keep your pet happy and give you peace of mind while you’re away. I provide updates and photos after each visit so you always know how your pet is doing.

About: I’ve had pets my whole life! From dogs, to Guinea pigs, to cats, fish, lizards, and even a tortoise! I’m an animal lover through and through. Neighbors, family, friends, and coworkers have relied on me to take care of their fur babies on numerous occasions. Im a stay at home mom (former teacher) of two littles. My availability varies depending on the day, but my weekends are almost always wide open! I’ll always make sure to have my eyes on your pet when I come to take care of them. I’m extremely careful and make sure everything is left exactly how it was found! I make sure the pets are fed, have water, and have been to the bathroom every time I stop in. I also take tons of pictures so that you know your baby/babies are doing well!

About: I’ve had four years in the vet field, working with 10-20 different vet clinics and animal shelters. Assisted in many surgeries, given shots/vaccines, so walking your pup will be a breeze. I’m currently working Part-time with no set schedule, so just let me know when you need me, and I can work my schedule around it. I would prefer a fenced in backyard/area to walk your pet, just for my own safety, but I can absolutely work around that if not.

About: I absolutely love dogs. I really believe that they are the closest animals to being human. I have taken care of dogs for my family members and neighbors for about 6 years now. Whenever someone needed a weekend getaway. My dream dog is a poodle but they are pretty pricey. I am hoping someday someone's willing to gift me one. I'm currently working my own schedule on different job opportunities similar to this one just inform me at least 2 days ahead and I'm willing to provide. I have a fenced in yard. I have an empty room if your dog likes to be alone for naps or quiet time. Im willing to crate your pet if needed.

About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was in high school. I've fed, bathed, walked, and provided enrichment for family, friends, and others. I am comfortable with many levels of activity, medication needs, and additional requests. I am a teacher with a set schedule so I am open to many duties over the various breaks, weekends, and time off from school. I do not currently have a dog of my own, nor can I keep one at my residence. However I am happy to help with walking, sitting, and other services
