About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities for over 6 years. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and check in on their pets while they’re away. I’m patient, responsible, and love making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I also have experience with energetic dogs and keeping pets on their regular routines. I have a flexible schedule and make pet care a priority in my daily routine. I’m available for check-ins, walks, feeding, playtime, and overnight care depending on your pet’s needs. I always make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and care while their owners are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any routines your pet is used to. I make sure pets feel safe, loved, and stress-free in their own environment while keeping owners updated with messages and photos.

About: I've grown up with dogs, taking care of them regularly. Living in the desert has equipped me with the skills to care for animals in a harsh climate such as constantly providing water, scheduling walks out of the heat, and watching out for wildlife. I also volunteered at an animal shelter while I was in high school where I learned more about the needs of various animals, learning that each have their own personality! I'm currently home for the summer from college, so my hours are very flexible. I am available weekdays and weekends to help with feeding, walking, and just hanging out with your pets! I can easily commute to your home to care for your pet. I'm here to adapt to their needs and ensure that they are happy and healthy!

Elaine was able to visit my cats at our home. Everything was coordinated and planned, the process was straight forward. Like the past appointment with Elaine she was wonderful to work with and I hope to use her services again in the future when traveling.

I offer dependable and loving care including dog walking, drop-in visits, pet sitting, boarding, bathing, grooming support, and nail trims. I treat every pet like family and understand how important it is to know your pets are in good hands. I’d love the chance to care for your furry family members. I currently have a very open and flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, pet sitting, boarding, and last-minute bookings when needed.

I make sure their space is peaceful, loving, and spotless, so they can feel secure and at ease. I pay close attention to their feeding times, medicine, exercise, and any special needs they might have.

About: NOTICE AVAILABILITY HAS CHANGED (Fully available on Thursdays and Fridays, Saturday-Wednesday only available after 2pm due to work schedule. Apologies for the inconveniences) I’m still quite new to this but I have a few munchkins of my own to know how to handle them. I’ve done some pet sitting when I was younger and found it to be a lot of fun. I want to be more active so walking your pets is perfect for us both! I’ve lived with animals my whole life so I have so much compassion for them. I have a lot of patience and love for them all. I would love for you to have trust in me to do my best for your pet. I know I have little experience but a lifetime of caring for animals; big and small. I am currently a part time server so my schedule is always changing, I mostly work nights most days. The days i’m off and available I’ll be able to be around as many hours as needed. Weekends are unsure depending on my schedule, if anything I’d be available in the mornings and late nights. I unfortunately can’t board any pets at my home. My own pets are all inside pet’s except my dogs of course, my dogs have a fenced in backyard and go on daily walks themselves. My pups are 4 years old but aren’t fully socialized to other dogs so I wouldn’t feel 100% safe to board pets at the moment. I also have cats, they are my personal favorite, all whom I’ve had for many years. What can I say i’m a animal person. I have a few exotic pets; a snake and two geckos who stay in cages!

Tony was prompt, communicative and took great care of Pickles. It’s clear he cared for her like she was her own, playing with her, snuggling and taking her on two walks to make sure she was taken care of after dinner.

We had set up a 30 minute meet and greet. He arrived on time.we sat and chatted. Romeo got up On the couch and laid beside him. He liked Kevin’s arm. We took a stroll in our community dog park. I think he was surprised by the degree of Romeo’s fear aggression . There were three little dogs that showed up with their owner off leash and were not obeying commands. We simply held on and walk out of the park.
