About: I have always loved animals especially dogs ever since I was a small child and growing up I always had a very good relationship with animals. Not to mention they will always be in great care with me always 🥰🐶❤️. Further more I understand how hard it is to find a sitter that u really trust and find in such short notice that’s where I come in with ….. SAME DAY BOOKING✅ FAST REPLIES✅ LOW PRICES ✅ GOOD PET SITTING CARE ✅ BATHS ✅ and SO MUCH MORE !!!! Let me tell u if that doesn’t get your tail wagging I don’t know what will. My prices r from 30 to 38 Far as boarding or just sitting So like I said take your time your dog is my top priority. And I know it’s yours as well and over here we are all family 🐾 As a dog owner my self I have to make sure my dog is always taken care of. He is a 1 year old shih tzu. I always make sure that the pet no matter size, height, or weight is well taken care of. They’ll be well fed, clean, and happy. I always keep a close eye as I work from home.

About: With over 10 years of hands on experience in pet care, I offer more than just feeding and walkingI provide genuine companionship, emotional attentiveness, and a deep understanding of animal behavior. Unlike many sitters, I treat every pet as if they were my own, tailoring care to their specific needs, routines, and personalities.I’ve worked with pets of all ages, breeds, and temperaments including senior animals and those with medical or behavioral needs which has taught me to be calm, observant, and proactive. My reliability, attention to detail, and regular communication give pet owners peace of mind knowing their furry family members are in trusted hands.But what truly sets me apart is my heart. I don’t just watch pets I bond with them I’m currently home full time so is am able to care for you and your pups needs as needed and fit them into my daily schedule I have a fully fenced in yard that’s are 6 feet tall, and I also live in a single family home so there is plenty of room to explore and enjoy themselves

About: experienced with all sizes and I get plenty of big babies. Many people with big dogs want to make sure the person they choose is experienced with larger dogs, even when they're well trained and behaved. Pets need physical exercise to stay in shape, I can incorporate this into your routine by taking your dog for walks or play sessions everyday. I have a fenced yard & a safe, caring, and loving family that loves dogs as much as I do. Your dog is good & safe with me!

“Malvi and Andrej are great. They are thoughtful about how different dogs will get along. They have a big backyard and the pups get lots of playtime outside. The first floor of their house is well set up for dogs, and they take really good care of the pups who come to spend the day. My dog has done day care at their house as well as boarding, and she comes home relaxed and happy every time.”


“If you truly love your furbaby and don't want to stress about their care and safety, Stella is the right sitter for you! The level of care and professionalism she brings is unmatched. I felt confident leaving my Syder with her. 10/10 🔥 Thanks Stella!”


“My dog (11 lbs. mixed Yorkie, Shih Tzu, Poodle) has separation anxiety however, she immediately went over to the 2 other small dogs at Diego's home, as well as easily going over to Diego's hand, which he lowered to my dog's level for her to smell. Diego asked that I bring over her dinner meal so he could give it to her, also her toys, blanket, or whatever items that she is fond of. The game plan that Diego had for me to leave without my dog knowing was to have all 3 dogs come upstairs with him. This was his way of not only getting my dog familiar with his home, but while they were upstairs, I could leave quietly out of the door. In less than 10 minutes after us pulling off, Diego sent me 2 videos of my dog and one of the other dogs excitedly chasing each other in sheer play. Later, Diego sent a video of the 2 dogs stretched out near each other with both of them sound asleep from playing. He sent other videos as well, all of the assured me that my dog was fine and having a great time, even being when sitting on Diego... my dog was comfortably enjoying his 3 hr. stay. The short stay assured me that my dog will be absolutely fine while being boarded with Diego for 10 days. Diego's demeanor is very easy going but he appears acutely aware and in-tuned with each of the 3 dogs. I was impressed that while Diego and I were talking, he kept his eyes on the dogs the majority of the time and clearly listening to me about the particulars of my pet. Diego's backyard is spacious, private, and secure. His home, with me seeing his basement and main floor level is orderly, clean, attractive, and void of "that classic doggie ordor." The fact that Diego works from home is a added "bonus" particularly for my dog who doesn't do well with being left alone, again given his separation anxiety. Based solely on this 3 hr. visit I would give Diego a 5 star rating and I will rate him again after my dog's 10 day stay with him”


About: Over the past five years, I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, rabbits, and even reptiles. I’ve developed a strong understanding of their individual needs, from feeding and grooming to managing behavior and health concerns. My experience includes administering medications, providing daily walks for dogs, maintaining clean living spaces, and ensuring pets are mentally and physically stimulated. I’ve also learned how to handle emergencies, offering first aid when necessary and staying calm in stressful situations. Through it all, building trust with both the pets and their owners has been the most rewarding part of my pet care journey. Pet care seamlessly fits into my weekly routine by becoming an essential and enjoyable part of my day. Each morning, I make sure to feed and check on my pets, followed by a walk or playtime session to keep them active and happy. Throughout the day, I ensure their living spaces are clean, fresh water is available, and I spend time bonding with them through cuddles or play. In the evenings, I maintain a consistent feeding schedule and engage in more relaxed activities, like brushing or quiet companionship. This routine has become second nature, allowing me to balance pet care with my other responsibilities while ensuring my pets receive the attention and love they need. Caring for pets in my home and my clients’ homes involves a mix of consistency, attention to detail, and adaptability to the unique needs of each pet. I follow a structured schedule that includes feeding, walks, playtime, and grooming to ensure pets feel secure and comfortable. My home is pet-friendly, with safe spaces for rest, clean litter boxes, and pet-proofed areas to prevent accidents. monitor their health closely, providing medications or special care if needed, and give plenty of mental stimulation with toys or activities.

“Andrea was able to take my fur pup at last minute notice for a few hours during the day. She is appreciated. Kash is a very shy and nervous dog and she was very patient with him. I will be utilizing her services in the future!”


About: I have been raised in a home with pets every since birth. I have volunteered for over 4 years at the animal shelter and have currently worked in Petco. I'm currently laid off of work and would love to work with animals. My future is working with animals and eventually having my own pet business. I am very person and love walking. I will take your precious babies on walks and play with them. We will go to the dog park or big field and play. I currently own my own housecleaning business so I can be available whenever and be home when I have a pet in my home to take care of I have a partial fenced in front yard and a fully fenced in backyard. Pets have free roam of the house. I have a very friendly female dog who loves everybody

About: I have had pets all my life and love spending time with them. Whether your pet is one who needs lots of attention and play time or is a couch potato and cuddler, I'm the sitter for you! If your fur baby is highly active, I can take them for long trail walks or visits to a park to play fetch and if that doesn't sound like your pet, we can do short walks just to get the blood flowing and answer nature's call. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and those with arthritis and mobility issues. I have had great success in helping these dogs improve their comfort through daily, short, walks that we would gradually increased as they regained their strength and energy from this physical activity. I'm currently between jobs so I have plenty of time to care for your little friends. I'm available any day of the week, so reach out ahead of time and let's get you scheduled! :) My apartment complex is fully gated and if your dog wants to run off-leash we have a very large, gated dog park as well! The dog park is so large that it can be sectioned off into two separate parks to accommodate pets that are anxious around, or don't get along well with, other dogs!

About: I’ve been working with pets ever since I was 10 and I have to tell you it was my greatest pleasure to give them the care they need. Although Ive had pets since I was young I’ve been professionally taking care of pets for about 4 years and would love to build on that experience by giving your pup the care he/she needs I’m home all day at the moment so all of my time is dedicated to giving your pup the best care and making sure they have the best time In my home I run all pets on a schedule, first walk at 10am and feeding time, 2nd walk at 2pm and playtime in the yard which is fully fenced and the last walks and feeding time is at 8pm which is followed by one last playtime before bed

About: Hi! I had two adorable dogs, a 14 year old female Husky mix and a 11 year old male Pembroke Welsh Corgi. I've trained both my dogs to travel with me via plane, boat, metro transportation, and do some services for me. I also had two orange cats named Ripley and Fish. Right now they all have passed away due to old age and I have zero pets at home as of this moment. I also have a lot of experiences of taking care of other animals such as rabbits, rats, bearded dragons, snakes, frogs, and whatnot. I love all animals, but dogs and cats are my absolute favorite. I have experience taking care of sick animals and love animals that are especially wary of strangers or need time to warm up to. I’m currently a full time student with classes just on select days of the week, so I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule. If I’m not housesitting for you (if you want to drop your pet off at my home), I have a huge fenced yard and lots of dog and cat beds/toys. We also have two young children under ages 4.

“I highly recommend doggy daycare/ boarding with Natashia! She provides excellent care for my Coconut. I appreciate the regular photo updates, which give me peace of mind while I'm away. It's clear Coco gets plenty of exercise and attention, as he comes home tired from being out + playing with Appa (her pup). That’s why we book with her weekly! It’s truly a home away from home for Coco, that’s why he never wants to leave when I pick him up! Thanks Natashia!”
