About: Having raised my own puppy and dogsat for friends with anxious pups, I'm well versed in how to provide for a pup's full time needs. I can also provide puppy training in house manners (for example: waiting patiently to be fed, waiting at doors, simple commands). My care and attention to my own puppy, Chef, is full time and I am super excited to share that with your pup. We can go on excursions or hang around the house or play fetch at the dogpark. Whatever your pup is up for. I have a fenced yard and a friendly pup for your pup(s) to play with! And if your pup doesn't want company for whatever reason, I have gates and crates to make sure they are safe and happy in their own space. Feel free to request photos/videos and check in anytime for updates.

About: Hello, My name is Gloria Itzel and I am currently blessed to share my household will a beautiful black and white short haired tuxito cat and two lovely very energetic Shih Tzu/Yorkshire Terrier's. I Love playing sports, staying active, and discovering new things. I believe there is nothing better than to spend that time while hanging out with our amazing lovable furry friends. I would prefer to walk small dogs as I am 5'1 weighing at about 130lbs (hence my choice of breed for companionship are a Shih Tzu and a Yorkshire Terrier) but any four legged friend of yours is a friend of mine. I am more than pleased to be able to spend some time with your furry friend while staying physically active! Please let me know if you would like any special requests.

About: I have raised my almost 13 year old husky since he was a few months old, so I've handled both ends of the spectrum, from puppy training (potty training, crate training, puppy play time) to senior care as he approaches 13. Whether it's cleaning up messes or complex medication regiments, I'm comfortable and confident with pets of all sizes at any stage and I'd love to bring that same care to your dog. I'm self-employed and work from home full time, which gives me a flexible schedule throughout the day. My husky and I go on multiple walks a day as part of our normal routine, and I have plenty of time and energy to share with more furry friends. I genuinely love spending time with dogs, whether that's a quick drop-in visit, playtime in the backyard, a walk around the neighborhood, or a trip to the park. I'm attentive to each dog's comfort level and adjust activities to what they enjoy most, so every visit feels safe and fun for them.

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I remember. I enjoy being around animals and treat every pet with the same care and attention I would want for my own. I'm currently working part-time, so I have a lot of time to walk and take care of your pets. I am available more often during the week. I don't have any pets of my own at the moment, so I will be fully focused on your pet. I’m patient and attentive, and I understand that every dog has their own personality, habits, and boundaries.

“Ray was great with Jimi! Jimi is leash reactive and not friendly with other dogs, plus he is very strong, so I’m always worried when someone else walks him. But I felt extremely confident with Ray walking him. He also spent extra time with Jimi and they played in the backyard after each walk. Additionally, I appreciated how communicative Ray was with me and all the pictures that he sent while I was away. I can’t recommend Ray enough!”

About: I’ve cared for my own two cats for the past 15 years, raising them from playful kittens to their senior years. That experience taught me how to understand cats at every stage of life and provide them with the love, patience, and care they need. I absolutely love spending time playing, cuddling, and making sure every cat feels safe and comfortable. After my beloved cats passed away, I began cat sitting for friends and it’s been such a rewarding way to continue sharing my love for cats. I’ll care for your cat as if they were my own, giving them plenty of attention, affection, and personalized care while you’re away. I currently work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to provide your cat with plenty of attention throughout the day. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, feeding, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure they feel loved and comfortable while you’re away. I’m also available for house sitting and can help with light household tasks, such as bringing in mail, watering plants, and keeping your home tidy. I always follow each cat’s normal routine to help them feel safe and comfortable. I’ll make sure they have fresh food and water, clean litter boxes, plenty of playtime, and lots of affection if they enjoy cuddles. I also pay close attention to their behavior so I can quickly notice if anything seems unusual. If I’m caring for your cat in your home, I’ll respect your space, keep everything clean and tidy, and provide regular updates with photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: Pet Care Experience: I have had the pleasure of working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. My journey in pet care began with my own beloved pets and quickly grew into a professional commitment to ensuring the well-being and happiness of every dog in my care. What Sets Me Apart: 1. Personalized Attention: I believe every dog is unique, and I tailor my care to meet the specific needs and preferences of each pet. Whether it's a high-energy puppy or a gentle senior dog, I adapt my approach to ensure they feel comfortable, loved, and engaged. 2. Training Expertise: I have experience in basic obedience training, which can be especially beneficial for puppies and young dogs learning to navigate the world. I use positive reinforcement techniques to encourage good behavior and instill confidence. 3. Senior Dog Care: I am skilled in caring for senior dogs, ensuring they receive the gentle handling, patience, and specialized attention they need. From administering medication to providing slow-paced walks, I am committed to making their golden years as enjoyable as possible. 4. Safety First: I prioritize safety ,I am prepared to handle any situation that may arise with calm and competence. 5. Communication: I provide regular updates with photos and detailed notes, so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry friend is happy and well-cared for in your absence. By choosing me as your dog's sitter or walker, you're not just getting a service—you're gaining a partner dedicated to your pet's happiness and well-being. 1. Daily Walks and Check-ins: I set aside specific times each day for walks and check-ins, ensuring that your pet enjoys regular exercise and companionship. Morning and evening walks are standard, allowing for flexibility based on your pet's needs and preferences. 2. Flexible Availability: My schedule is designed to accommodate a range of pet care needs, from midday potty breaks to extended visits for playtime and feeding. I adjust my routine to fit the specific requirements of each pet, whether it's a quick walk or a longer adventure in the park. 3. Dedicated Care Blocks: I allocate dedicated blocks of time throughout the week for pet sitting and extended care sessions. During these periods, I focus entirely on your pet, providing personalized attention and maintaining their routine to ensure comfort and stability. 4. Weekend Adventures: Weekends provide an opportunity for longer excursions and more engaging activities, such as visits to dog parks or nature trails, allowing your pet to explore and socialize in a safe environment. 5. Ongoing Communication: I incorporate regular updates into my routine, keeping you informed about your pet's activities and well-being. This includes sending photos and notes after each visit, providing peace of mind and transparency. By weaving pet care seamlessly into my daily life, I ensure that every pet feels valued and cherished, making their time with me both enjoyable and enriching. Safety, Trust & Environment: In Your Home: 1. Pet-Proofed Space: My home is carefully pet-proofed to ensure a safe environment. I remove any hazardous items, secure loose wires, and provide plenty of pet-friendly spaces for relaxation and play. 2. Comfortable Accommodations: I create a cozy, welcoming atmosphere with comfortable bedding and designated play areas. Pets are free to explore securely, with access to toys and enrichment activities to keep them engaged. 3. Routine and Structure: I maintain a consistent routine to help pets feel at ease, including regular feeding times, walks, and play sessions. This structure promotes stability and comfort, especially for pets staying overnight. In Client's Home: 1. Respectful Care: I treat your home with the utmost respect, following your guidelines and routines to ensure your pet remains comfortable and stress-free in their familiar environment. 2. Security Measures: I adhere to security protocols, such as locking doors and setting alarms as instructed, to ensure your home remains secure during my visits. 3. Personalized Attention: I tailor my approach based on your pet's specific needs and preferences, whether that means quiet companionship for a shy pet or active playtime for an energetic one. Building Trust: 1. Clear Communication: I provide regular updates, including photos and notes, so you can be confident that your pet is happy and well-cared for. Open communication is key to building trust and ensuring peace of mind. 2, I am prepared to handle any situation with calm and competence. By focusing on safety, trust, and creating a nurturing environment, I ensure that every pet feels secure and loved, whether they're staying in my home or I'm caring for them in theirs.

About: I’m a reliable and experienced dog walker and pet sitter with over a year and a half of professional experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I also have experience caring for cats. I’ve loved animals my whole life and was a dog and cat owner myself. My dog was part of my family for 13 wonderful years, so I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, feeding, fresh water, medication, or simply some companionship while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. After every visit, I send photos, videos, and a short update. GPS walk tracking is also available whenever possible, so you’ll always know how your pet is doing. I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and respect—as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family! I offer a flexible schedule during the week. Whether you need regular walks, drop-in visits, cat care, or occasional pet sitting, I’ll do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine and your schedule. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow your care instructions, respect your pet’s routine, and pay close attention to their behavior and needs. Whether it’s a walk, feeding, medication, or quiet companionship at home, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

Kathleen walked our dog Benji, and it was such a great experience from start to finish. She gave him so much genuine attention and care throughout — you can really tell she loves animals. Kathleen is very communicative and sent us lots of photos so we always knew Benji was having fun. Benji always came back to us as the happiest dog, clearly worn out from a great time with her. We felt at ease knowing he was in her hands, and we'd recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to take care of their pet.

Rumi may have found her new favorite person in Lizbeth! Rumi is still a puppy and she can sometimes be a bit distracted while on walks. With Lizbeth, however, loose leash walking around the neighborhood wasn't a problem at all, even with skateboarders nearby and leaves blowing in the wind (her absolute favorite thing to lunge at). Lizbeth was communicative, prompt, and from the big smile Rumi had after she came home from her walk, you could just tell that Lizbeth has a special way with dogs. We absolutely loved our experience with Lizbeth and would highly recommend her!
