About: I am an experienced and trustworthy pet-sitter, dog walker, and animal trainer. With an education that qualifies me as a certified reward-based dog trainer with the skills and talent needed to train anything from service dogs to search and rescue dogs, you can expect nothing less than the best care for your fur-babies from me. As a Doordash driver, my schedule is very flexible and I can find the time for you and your babies just about any day. Let's talk! When in a client's home, I will be sure to stay alert and mindful as always. I can offer play, feeding, treats, pets, cuddles, brushing, and more! I am a firm believer that animals deserve the greatest care possible, and will do what I can to provide that top-notch care and attention, made even more effective with my ability to read the body language of animals.

About: Hello friends! I'm so happy to express my experience with you. I have had dogs and taken care of dogs my whole life. Helping my friends out is what gave me this idea. We have 4 dogs of our own, 1 cat and chickens. I'm not shy to say how much we love animals. Why choose me though? Well, it's simple. I'm doing this service because I know how important it is to HAVE to work in this economy. I know how important it is to take a vacation from all the craziness. We will be taking a vacation as well. Guess who will be watching my pets? But what about YOUR animals? I've had experience in a kennel environment and I know your animals are less stressed, less risk of disease like kennel cough, and happier being taken care of in the comfort of there own home. That's where I come in. I want to make sure your babies are safe, stress free and happy until you arrive home. Don't let your lifestyle be the reason why you couldn't have a pet or worry about them in the kennel the whole time. Having a person who loves animals like I do is the difference. It's not just a service, it's peace of mind. I currently own my own cleaning business. I love being with my children and homeschooling them. We have been going strong for a year and a half now. I love being my own boss and making my own schedule. I am picking this job up to help others and these pets. With the economy I'm seeing more and more moms having to go back to work. What about your pets? I love animals, so this is a perfect fit for me to embark on. I'm also showing my kids that a simple service makes the biggest changes in someone life. I would treat your pet the same way I do mine. With calm energy, love and happiness. These pets deserve the best. I want to make your life easier knowing your pets are being handled with care and respect.

About: I come with a lifetime of experience caring for my own pets, great customer service experience and a trustworthy and hard working care provider who will make sure your pets are cared for, loved, fed, and happy as well as cared extras like bringing in the Mail, watering plants or other tasks that may be needed while you are away. You are in good hands. I’m a college student and I run my own business as well as work a part time job. I will fit your pets in around my schedule/commitments and routine which may look different daily. I am willing to consider requests but my rates are not set for 24 hours of continuous coverage. Please message me your expectations initially and we can find out if we are a good fit. It is also important for you to know that I share pet sitting gigs with my sister Nina so I can help provide a more continuous service while I am at work and I will occasionally have a friend and or niece/nephew with me for drop ins. I will care for your pet in whatever way you need me to. As someone who had a very lovable Lab/Shepard mix who recently passed away, I understand the needs of a pet are with each individual pet and owner. I am happy to make sure your little buddies are protected and loved like I did my own. Everything will be done in the comfort of your home to assure your pet feels safe in their own environment.
About: Through my years of pet care, I’ve learned that every critter has their own way of needing to be cared for and loved. I enjoy focusing on outdoor exercise and exploration. It’s a fun way to wear everyone out and meet all the needs for nap time. I currently work a full time remote job, so my schedule is very flexible. Boarding is easy to fit in to my daily schedule. In-house visits can be scheduled easily throughout the day. Let me know your situation and we can see what’s possible! I live on some land that allows for wide open ranging with safe boundaries from any roadway or neighborhood. I have a friendly dog myself, Roo (m/neutered), who gets along well with anyone who likes fetch as much as him. He is off leash with me on site everyday and tends to keep everyone within the established safe zones. However you need routine to look, I’m happy to accommodate.
About: I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and small pets. Along with volunteering at a local rescue, I’m comfortable with a variety of animals and their unique needs. I care for my own dogs every day and often help friends with their pets. I also volunteer regularly at a local rescue. Pet care is a natural part of my schedule, so I’m comfortable handling different animals and their needs. I ensure pets are safe and comfortable by maintaining a clean and secure environment. Whether at my home or yours, I follow established routines and any specific instructions to provide consistent care. Communication is clear and timely to keep owners informed.
“She did a great job with 3 difficult dogs. She gained their trust and stayed to comfort them. It was our first time leaving them. We recommend her and will use her again if she's available. She's so easy going!”
About: I love dogs and always have. I have always had pets. We had three dogs when I was growing up and they were so much fun. I love playing with them. The dogs I had growing up were my “best friends”. When I lived in va beach I used to dog sit and house sit 2-3 times a week. I will take care of your dogs as if they were my own. I will take them out for walks let them get some exercise and ensure that they have food and water. I have done overnight sitting as well as pop ins where I have just walked and fed them. I’m available any day of the week. I look forward to working with you and your fur babies.
About: I have taken care of my friends, family, and neighborhood animals for years now. I have a love for pets the way you would love them! I am currently pregnant and looking for a fun way to make some money during this time. I am available all day and can easily make your pets day and yours better! I plan on treating everything as if it were my own. I know time away from your animals can be tough, that’s why I am here to simplify it for you. I can’t wait to hang with your animals:))
About: I have owned dogs and have done extended pet sitting for family members. I have seldom met a dog I did not like and vice versa. My availability varies as my schedule varies. I am retired but occasionally have other obligations. I will try to accommodate your needs as best I can. I give lots of affection and like dog walking. If I get to know your dog well enough, I could possibly dog sit in my home.

My current dog is terrified of most people and somehow still adores Michele. She will always be my first choice dogsitter!”
