About: I am extremely patient with dogs of all ages, and even those with special needs like anxiety. They will be in safe, loving hands always! I love all dogs as if they were my own, and I always want them to feel welcomed and comfortable. I am very flexible and enjoy walking / staying active. I will give your pet whatever they need and fit them into my daily routine. I am sure to “puppy-proof” my apartment always, never leaving anything around on the floor. I have a fenced in balcony and require leashes outdoors. Walking, sitting, and boarding doggies is currently my full time job. I will fit your fur baby into my daily routine with no problem at all! We will exercise as much or as little as they need, as staying active is a big part of my day! My apartment is always “puppy-proofed” to avoid any potential accidents. I have a balcony that I have also doggy proofed with fencing. I always require leashes outdoors! I also have a camera in my living-room to check up on your more independent pups if I leave for an errand or two. My wife and I will be around to look after your pup with a super flexible schedule. We love when clients give us a list of reminders and key pointers about your pups! We have a 3 year old male Shih-poo who is 10 pounds. He loves loves to play with other dogs who give off good energy! We care for him our very best and will do the same for your pup.
About: I’ve had cats and dogs since I was born. I love all animals. I am willing to care for dogs and cats young to seniors. I work two jobs one full time and one part time but I’m willing to take care of any cat or dog that needs care while any family is away. I have one cat of my own who is indoors. He never goes outside. I may not own a dog but willing to come take care of any dog.
“Stacey was fantastic. We were nervous about leaving because one of my cats is in an end of life period. Stacey was incredibly communicative and flexible which made it so much easier to be away. She send video and pictures so we could see how both cats were doing and was flexible in terms of providing care based on how they were doing. Highly recommend and would book again.”
About: Dogs have been a part of my heart and home for as long as I can remember. I adopted my first dog, a spirited Jack Russell-Boston Terrier mix, in 2005, and when I got married, I happily welcomed my husband’s senior boxer into our family. A few years later, an unplanned encounter led us to adopt another boxer puppy—we couldn’t resist her charm! Over the years, our family grew, adding four kids into the mix alongside our beloved dogs. Losing my own dog in 2019 and our boxer shortly after my youngest was born was incredibly hard, but it deepened my appreciation for the unconditional love and joy dogs bring. I was the first in my family to welcome a dog into our lives, and since then, I’ve inspired my sisters and even nieces and nephews to do the same. Though I can’t currently have a dog in my home as a single mom with four little ones, I deeply miss the companionship and connection dogs provide. Caring for your dog would be an honor, and I promise to treat them with the same love and attention I’ve given my own. Whether it’s walks, cuddles, or playtime, your furry family member will be in caring hands. I’m a newly single mom of four young children. As a stay-at-home parent, I care for my toddler during the day while my three older kids are in school. This allows me to have a flexible schedule that works around their school hours and extracurricular activities. I understand how important it is to ensure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m happy to care for your dog in your home, following all your instructions to keep their routine consistent and familiar. Whether it’s feeding schedules, playtime, or quiet cuddles, I’ll make sure your furry family member gets the attention and care they deserve. I also recognize that dogs can sometimes feel anxious when their parents aren’t around. I’ll do everything I can to ease their worries and keep them calm, using the tips and guidance you provide. If any unexpected messes happen, I’ll handle them promptly and ensure your home stays clean and tidy. My goal is to provide you with peace of mind and ensure your dog feels loved and cared for while you’re away.
About: I’ve had a dog for almost 11 years but I put I only have 5 years of experience because I was trusted to take care of her alone around 5 years ago. I’m 18 years old and very good with dogs. I love playing with them and taking them for walks. I’m always happy to help! This is a job I will be doing while I’m on break from college so I’m honestly good most days. I would be good for as early as 8 am and as late as 10 or 11 pm. I always watch the pets closely and look for signs of stress or discomfort. I like to give them lots of attention and make sure that they are well fed and taken care of. If we are going for a walk, I will make sure their harness and leash are on correctly and we only go in the areas the pet owner is okay with. I will also make sure they have water before I leave and that they have used the bathroom.
About: I truly love pets cats and dogs. I studied pet grooming and I am currently in a grooming internship! I love to make your pets like family. I am off the summer and looking to fill my day with your pets needs! I really look forward to meeting your pets! Thank you I live in the condo and I don’t have a fence in but if needed I can walk your pets. I can feed cats and scoop liter!
About: I am a father of 2 & 4-legged kids and the go-to dogsitter for friends and family. I am reliable and my schedule is flexible. I am the primary caregiver of my son when he's not in school. The rest of my schedule is flexible around my honey do lists. Having been a dog owner for more than 10 years, I am skilled in head scritches and belly rubs, and am not scared of slobbery kisses or getting dog hair on my clothes.
