About: Let me tell you about my girl, what she meant to me, and how I will treat your companions because they deserve the same. I adopted my rescue dog years ago, and she became my best friend, companion, protector, and family. We shared life together. She taught me that trust comes first, that every one is different, and that patience, consistency, attention, and presence matter. When I first adopted her, I was told she didn't like affection or being held. What I learned was that she simply needed trust. Once she felt safe, she showed me who she really was. That experience taught me to pay attention, be patient, and let each one get comfortable in their own time. I understand the importance of routine, exercise, play, companionship, quiet time, and consistency. I pay attention to personality, preferences, comfort level, and the small details that help someone feel secure while their family is away. My girl recently passed away. I will not be replacing her. Instead, I decided to come here and help care for your boy or girl because they deserve the same attention, patience, respect, and care that she received throughout her life. I provide dog walking, drop-in visits, house sitting, feeding, fresh water, bathroom breaks, playtime, companionship, and routine care. I own and operate my own business and work remotely during the week, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be present throughout the day. I can adjust my work around the needs of those in my care. I also drive part-time on some weekend evenings and can adjust my schedule as needed. For house sitting, I typically spend 2–4 hours of dedicated time each day focused on walks, play, care, companionship, and routine activities, in addition to the time I am present in the home while working remotely. Depending on the arrangement, I may be away for periods during the day, but I remain available for check-ins, walks, feeding, and care. My goal is simple: to provide reliable care, maintain routines, and help your boy or girl feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you are away. I own and operate my own business and work remotely during the week, which gives me a flexible schedule throughout the day. I can adjust my work as needed to make sure your companion receives the attention, care, walks, playtime, and companionship they need. I also drive part-time on some weekend evenings and can adjust my availability when caring for your boy or girl. For house sitting, I am generally available for short-term and extended stays ranging from a few days to four weeks. My only regularly scheduled personal commitment is on Tuesdays, though longer stays can be planned around that with advance notice. I care for companions in their own environment where they are most comfortable and familiar. I understand that trust, routine, consistency, and attention are important. I take the time to learn their schedule, habits, personality, comfort level, and any special needs so I can maintain the routines that help them feel secure. I believe trust is earned through patience, respect, and reliable care. Some want attention immediately. Others need time and space first. I pay attention to their behavior and let them get comfortable at their own pace while maintaining their wellbeing and routine.

About: I've been walking and sitting dogs for over nine years now, and it's something I absolutely love. My experience includes owning some larger, powerful breeds like German Shepherds, Great Danes, and English Mastiffs, so I'm very comfortable handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Currently, I have a Belgian Malinois, which means I'm well-versed in providing the kind of structured exercise and mental stimulation that high-energy dogs need to thrive. Pet care is a big part of my daily and weekly routine, especially with a Belgian Malinois! Every morning starts with a good walk or run to burn off some energy, followed by feeding. Throughout the day, there are potty breaks, training sessions, and playtime. Evenings usually involve another walk and some quiet cuddle time. On a weekly basis, I make sure to schedule grooming, vet check-ups if needed, and dedicated time for more intensive training or enrichment activities to keep things interesting. It's all about consistency and making sure they're happy and healthy! When I care for pets, whether it's in my home or a client's, the main goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. This usually means sticking to their regular feeding schedule, giving them their meds if needed, and making sure they get plenty of exercise and playtime. I also pay close attention to their behavior, looking for any signs of discomfort or illness, and keep in touch with the owner to give them updates and peace of mind.

About: Hi! I love dogs and spending time outside, so dog walking is the perfect combo for me. I’m easygoing, reliable, and comfortable with all kinds of dogs. I’ll make sure your dog gets good exercise, attention, and lots of love—and I’ll keep you updated along the way 😊 I’m available on Saturdays and Sundays to drop in or take your dog on walks. If you work on the weekends or are away for the day I can help check in on your dog 😊 Your dog’s safety and comfort come first. I follow your routine, use safe walking practices, and keep you updated so you can feel at ease.

“Jordan was great. Pleasant showed up on time and was great out Magic!”

About: Dogs are an integral part of the family! Growing up, we always had at least 3 dogs. Dogs are family not animals to me. I have always taken care of my family pets as well as neighbors dogs. As a teenager, I would take care of my neighbors pitbull and cocker spaniel by feeding them and playing with them when the neighbors were at work or on vacation. I know have 2 dogs, an 10 year old husky and a 6 year old chihuahua mix. They are still very youthful and cared for greatly. They definitely do not act there age. I love taking care of dogs and making their lives as special as they make mine. I am a full time dog mom! I am going to school, but I have the luxury of being attending from home which leaves me plenty of time for loving on the puppers. I have 2 dogs that are very friendly. If needed, I can crate you furry family member. My husky has food allergies so I have experience making sure the fur baby doesn't get into anything that would make their stomachs unhappy. I am super vigilant during walks and sun bathing since both of my dogs are severely allergic to bees. If you board your pet with me, they will be treated just like family. Your furry family member will become one of our family members while they are here. Any dietary restrictions or house rules you wish to disclose will be followed exactly!

About: Dogs have always gravitated toward me — friends joke that I’m a bit of a “dog whisperer.” I love getting to know every pup’s personality, energy level, and routine so they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. Whether your dog wants long walks, playtime, cuddles, or a calm companion, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I work in film, and currently unemployed so I have a lot of time on my hands and would love to support families and their pups. I have open availability, and weekends can be negotiated. I will create a comfy environment for the pet in their own home. Having their toys, and favorite treats. I’m only able to be with the dog in their own space as my apartment complex doesn’t allow.

About: I have worked with dogs for more than a year and would definitely be the best pet sitter & walker and treat them like my own. i am avaliable part time due to enrolling in college. I am pretty flexible with scheduling and will do my best to work hard and as many hours to take care of the fur babies. I can easily follow directions and will make sure to go the extra mile to keep any dog/dogs safe and make sure they are always happy and comfortable around me and also plan to keep the owners updated as much as possible throughout my care.

About: I currently have the privilege of having two senior dogs that have been in my care for 13 years. I am aware of the patience, love and commitment it takes, having and caring for a pet that solely relies on you. I am comfortable administering medications and dealing with food modifications. I have also helped foster in the past. I am home during the day, with light serving shift 3 times a week at night. Long or short walks are available, as well as playtime, boarding and overnight care. My home is your pets home! I love my neighborhood. While I do not have direct access to a back yard, I am super close to multiple dog parks and live in a very walkable neighborhood.

“Kayla is simply amazing! she’s built such a great bond with my bernedoodle, who always came home happy and smiling. 5/5 for sure. Thanks for everything, Kayla!”

About: If your dog struggles with anxiety, you've found the right sitter. I'll make sure your dog warms up to me quickly and feels loved and comfortable during the stay. I specialize in helping dogs feel calm, safe, and truly at ease, especially those who need a little extra patience and reassurance. Because I don't have pets of my own right now, your dog gets my complete, undivided attention. I've been an animal lover my whole life and have cared for pets of all sizes and personalities. I grew up with a Chihuahua I loved through his senior years when he went blind, and a French Mastiff who made me fall head over heels for big dogs too! I truly enjoy making each furry friend feel loved and secure while their humans are away. I work part-time from my phone for a marketing company, so I’m usually free and flexible to care for your pets and go on walks. I live in a pet-friendly apartment with my husband, our place is pretty spacious and open, we play fetch with the dogs in here often. Also, in my building we have a pets area where I can take dogs for walks and playtime.
