About: I will treat every pet as my own in terms of extensive care, thorough play time and the level of attentiveness required for your pet. Iâve had experience with several types of animals so feel free to reach out regardless of your petâs difficulty or singularity in need for care. I can house pets any day and dog-walking is possible for me specifically on the weekends! No need to hesitate if you have requests for weekdays as Iâm flexible for accommodating to special schedules. For cats or small-sized dogs, they are free to roam my apartment and I often only house one pet at a time so your pet will get free reign over a clean and mostly open space with added measures for safety.
About: Iâve been caring for dogs for over 10 years, and nothing makes me happier than spending time with them! I walk dogs all the time and genuinely loveeee every minute of it. Whether your pup loves long adventure walks, slow sniff sessions, or cuddle breaks, I meet them exactly where theyâre at. I have an extremely flexible schedule so I am available throughout the day for walks, cuddle breaks, or if your small dog needs an overnight stay! Iâm reliable, patient, and committed to making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. You can trust that your dog will be treated like one of my ownâbecause thatâs truly how I see them.
âDaniela was fantastic!! My little pup had another dog lunge at and bite him the morning we went to her so he was very sensitive. She was amazing (as was her whole family) with him. Gouda also loves their dog and was so happy there overnight. She provides so many updates which calmed my nerves. Thank you so much!â

About: I have cared for dogs for a year. I have work experience and have had pets since I was very young. My family currently has two dogs, aged 10 and 17. I have lived my whole life surrounded by dogs and cats and I love animals. I enjoy taking care of them, giving them love, and receiving their love in return I would love to work part-time with animals because they give me energy and joy, and I believe itâs a great part of the day to enjoy time with them. I am very careful and loving with animals, especially when they belong to someone else. You can feel confident that I will take care of them exactly as you ask, with responsibility and affection. I can work both by going to the clientâs home and by caring for the animals in my own home!
âRoy was great. We had a very last minute booking and it was nice that he made the time to meet Baxter beforehand and get to know us as well. He kept communication with me the whole weekend. Took my pup on many walks and cuddled up for movie time with him. Will definitely be using Roy for future stays!â

âThis was Bristolâs first overnight boarding, and Alayna went above and beyond to make the experience as smooth as possible. She met with us in person beforehand to ensure that Bristol and Jake could get to know each other, which made the transition much easier. Alayna is incredibly considerate and maintained clear, consistent communication throughout the entire process. Her warm and attentive approach gave us peace of mind and made Bristolâs stay truly comfortable.â

âNayzeth took amazing care of my dog Elvis! She texted me pictures and updates every day! I could tell that she. really cared about my dog and wanted to do anything she could to make sure that he was happy while he was with them. I highly recommend Nayzeth when considering a sitter for your pets!!â

âI havenât left Kaia with a sitter in years. I originally was so nervous to leave her. Mya relieved my worries with daily messages and pictures of her and Kaia. I was very pleased!â

Tyra stayed with Jingrui on short notice, and everything went perfectly! She was very flexible, reliable, and took such loving care of Tyra. I felt completely at ease the whole time and would absolutely book her again. Everything was great â highly recommended! đđś

I give Lena my highest recommendation as a dog sitter! I am writing this review in reference to our experiences on two separate occasions. The first time we had Lena sit for our dog Daisy (a 4 yo pit mix) was a great experience. We always look for someone to watch Daisy who enjoys spending time with her and wants to have fun and Lena went above and beyond by not only taking Daisy on walks but also all sorts of hikes and adventures (we even got a cool photo of her wearing sunglasses!). Lena also dealt with some issues of Daisy having to go potty in the middle of the night very competently and professionally. She watched Daisy for 11 days and Daisy was well taken care of and happy when we picked her back up. The second time we had scheduled with Lena to watch Daisy for one night and Lena had a family emergency come up (a totally valid reason to cancel). Instead of simply leaving it to us to find a backup, Lena helped coordinate with her roommate to watch Daisy, which worked out great. Lena that she is not only able to take great care of dogs, but she is also a thoughtful and responsible person.
