About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life. I’ve trained my now 9 year old Australian Shepherd since 2016. We also bonded in Agility classes when he was younger! I have very flexible availability and am open to working with you to provide the most convenient care possible. I am also an open communicator, and will be diligent in responding so we can find a solution for any needs. I have experience with crate training and potty training a puppy. When my dog was a puppy, we adhered to a strict daily schedule, as he behaves best with a routine. I am also no stranger to a high-energy puppy that needs dedicated playtime/walk time throughout the day. I am in a new apartment so I cannot currently house a dog but am more than willing to travel to you. I am situated right near I-80, so travel is very easy for me.

I am very flexible and will give your pet the very same care that you would provide. Just let me know about your pet/their needs & behaviors and I’ll be sure to take care of the rest.

About: Hello! I have a lifelong passion for caring for animals. From a young age, I've been surrounded by pet bunnies, cats, dogs and lizards. I would like to keep taking care of your furry family members and, my number 1 priority is to make sure they're happy, healthy, and loved. It's not just me though, my boyfriend, Gill A. also joins me on these sits, so your furry friend gets double the love! As dedicated pet caregivers, we understand certain pets unique needs and preferences. Whether providing nourishing meals, engaging in interactive play sessions, or offering gentle companionship and cuddles! If your pet happens to be a lizard, maybe no cuddling, but we will make sure they are well fed and happy! In addition to essential care tasks, we both offer various fun activities, specifically to cats and dogs so that they are entertained and mentally stimulated. This may include interactive toy play, puzzle feeders, and laser point games. For dogs, this would include playing some tug of war, fetch, or frisbee! Every pet deserves the best care possible, and we are here to provide just that. If you need caring and responsible sitters who will treat your furry friend like family, please don't hesitate to reach out. We would be honored to care for your beloved furry family member! Pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily routine, as I am a full-time student with flexibility in the afternoons, starting from 3 PM.

We also offer personalized attention and follow the owner's specific care instructions to ensure their pet's well-being and happiness.
About: What sets me apart is simple: I don’t just watch dogs—I bond with them. My care goes beyond feeding and walking; I treat every pup like they’re my own. I’m genuinely obsessed with dogs, and it shows in the attention, patience, and joy I bring to every visit. Whether it’s a playful walk, a cozy cuddle, or just making sure your dog feels safe and loved while you’re away, I’m there with heart, consistency, and devotion. Your dog isn’t just a job—they’re family. I currently work part-time at a K9 dog kennel, which not only gives me valuable hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds and temperaments, but also allows me the flexibility to offer reliable care with advance notice. My schedule leaves room for walks, drop-ins, or sitting—just let me know ahead of time, and I’ll happily make time for your pup! Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ve grown up around dogs and know how to create a calm, loving environment where they feel right at home. My home is fully pet-friendly, with a secure fenced-in yard perfect for safe play and outdoor time. With my experience, attention to detail, and genuine love for dogs, you can trust that your pup will be in caring, capable hands every step of the way.
About: Over the past 5+ years, I’ve cared for the pets of friends and family, not as a business, but as a way to support them during vacations, work trips, or emergencies. It’s something I’ve always done out of love and a genuine desire to help. My wife also grew up having different pets, including cats, dogs, and other small animals. Together, we share a strong bond with animals and a commitment to provide them with comfort, safety, and affection. I work 100% from home, which allows me to provide consistent attention and care to the pets I look after. Your dog will enjoy plenty of companionship, playtime, and bathroom breaks throughout the day. They’ll never feel alone or ignored. We live in a comfortable, pet-friendly townhouse where your pet will be treated like family. Pets are welcome on the furniture and free to roam throughout the house. There are no restrictions on movement inside, so they can relax and settle in wherever they feel most comfortable. While we don’t have a backyard, we make sure dogs get regular outdoor time with safe, on-leash walks around our quiet, secure complex and the surrounding neighborhood. We never allow pets off-leash while outside, under any circumstances, to ensure their safety at all times.
