About: Basic rules for training puppies to socialize and interact with other dogs, and caring for and protecting older dogs when feeding, care and walking them. Because I have a flexible work schedule, I can care for your pet from Monday to Sunday, starting at 8 a.m. at the times that are most convenient for you, until 7 p.m. For the service I offer, I make sure that your pet has the necessary safety measures so that my work can be carried out with confidence, avoiding stress in the pet and that it has a fun and safe walk.

“There’s not enough room to describe Paige, just a sweetheart who loves her job and animals! So attentive to my boy Buoy, spoils him with love, cuddles and treats! Peace of mind while I have to be away from my boy.”


About: Hi, I’m Kennedy! I’ve cared for pets in all kinds of homes, from cozy cabins in Montana to sunny apartments here in Florida. Over the years, I’ve fostered dogs of all ages and personalities, from bouncy puppies to gentle seniors, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of needs and temperaments. I treat every pet like they’re my own, giving them plenty of love, attention, and care while keeping their routines consistent. Whether it’s long walks, belly rubs, or just hanging out together, I’m here to make sure they feel safe and happy while you’re away. I’m also experienced with house sitting, so you can trust that your home will be looked after just as carefully as your pets. If you’re looking for a reliable sitter who will treat your pets like family, I’d love to connect! Pet care is part of my everyday life, I’ve fostered for years, so caring for animals is second nature to me. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to give pets regular walks, playtime, and attention throughout the day. Whether it’s morning cuddles, midday walks, or evening wind-downs, I make sure each pet feels loved and cared for. I keep pets safe, happy, and comfortable by following their usual routines and giving them plenty of love and attention. In your home, I respect your space and keep doors and gates secure. In my home, I provide a cozy spot, fresh water, and a safe environment free from hazards. You’ll always get updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are in good hands.

About: I’ve been lucky enough to have dogs by my side my entire life—from playful puppies to wise and loving seniors. Caring for them through every stage has taught me patience, compassion, and just how much joy a wagging tail can bring. I dedicate myself to making sure dogs feel happy, safe, well-fed, and above all, loved. I’ll treat your furry friend with the same love and attention I give my own. It’s simply what they deserve. I have a warm and welcoming home that includes a gentle boy eager to meet all the good boys and girls in town. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to have weekends off, as well as a mid-week break. I have Wednesdays off during the week and love spending that time caring for pets. On the other weekdays, I’m home by early afternoon and available the rest of the day for walks, playtime, and cuddles. Weekends are my favorite time to relax at home, which makes me fully available and happy to dedicate my time to meeting your pet’s needs—whether that’s extra play, long walks, or just keeping them company. I live in a secure and cozy apartment that’s perfect for pets to feel at ease. There’s a balcony where they can enjoy some people-watching, and plenty of comfy hiding spots for when a thunderstorm rolls through. I also share my home with a gentle, loving good boy who’s always happy to make a new friend. For even more fun, our community has a fully fenced dog park for playtime and a convenient dog wash station to keep pups fresh and clean after their adventures.

About: I use to take care of my friends dog before I started having my own in 2020! I have 3 other dogs and I would give the world for them. So I understand if you need any help when you’re out on trips or can’t take care of your babies. Im available for dog walks after 8pm during the weekdays and during the weekends im usually available during the day time if your baby needs to go on a long walk! When I’m home I’m always with my dogs, I take them out anytime if they need to go! I have 3 other dogs & they are super friendly!
