About: I have years of hands on experience caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to sweet senior pups. What sets me apart is my calm, reliable approach and ability to make dogs feel safe and loved. I'm experienced with basic training and always provide personalized care. I truly treat every pet like family. I'm currently not working outside the home, so I have plenty of time and flexibility to focus on pet care. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or just keeping your pup company, I’m able to give them the attention and care they need throughout the day. Pet care is a priority in my routine, and I love making it part of my everyday life. In my home, your dog will be cared for like one of the family. I have a friendly chocolate lab who loves the company of other dogs, and we have a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor play. I can easily crate your dog if needed and always make sure the environment is calm, clean, and supervised. Safety and trust are my top priorities—I want both you and your pup to feel completely at ease.

About: You could say I’ve been in the pet-sitting game since before it was cool. With 15+ years of experience watching pets for family, friends, and coworkers, I’ve earned the unofficial title of “Neighborhood Pet Whisperer” (self-awarded, but still). I’ve raised two dogs of my own, currently live with one very spoiled pup, two sassy cats, and three energetic kids who have all been thoroughly trained in the art of giving belly rubs and dodging flying toys. Chaos? Maybe. But it’s the joyful, tail-wagging kind. I genuinely love animals—probably more than most humans—and I treat every pet like they’re my own. Whether your dog needs an enthusiastic walking buddy, your cat demands chin scratches on their terms, or they just want someone to vibe with, I’ve got it covered. Basically, if your pet is looking for a fun, safe, and loving staycation (with maybe a few extra treats), I’m your person. As a stay-at-home dad with a flexible schedule, I’m home most of the day—and that means your pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles! My wife works full-time, so I’m the one holding down the fort (and handing out treats). Whether your pet needs frequent potty breaks, a midday walk, or just someone to keep them company, I’ve got the time and the heart to give them exactly what they need. I'm available weekdays, weekends, and even on short notice—because life (and pets) don’t always follow a schedule! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I treat every pet like family—because that’s exactly what they become while they’re with me. At home, I provide a calm, pet-friendly environment with plenty of space to play, rest, and feel at ease. I supervise all interactions, make sure food and toys are kept safe and separate (if needed), and follow each pet’s routine closely—right down to the preferred potty spot or bedtime snuggle style. I also have a fenced yard for safe outdoor time and only introduce pets slowly and carefully, if at all. When caring for pets in your home, I always respect your space and your pet’s routine. I know how important it is for pets to feel secure in familiar surroundings, and I do everything I can to keep things low-stress and consistent. You can expect updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your pet is being looked after by someone who truly cares—and who knows how to keep things safe, loving, and fun.

About: I take care of lots of pets in my field of work and pet wellness is my passion. I’ve taken care of pets of my friends and family as well. I’m ready to care for your pet and grow my knowledge of pet care at the same time. I’m a full time student working part time. Although I’m busy most mornings due to school and work, I’m almost always available during the afternoon, especially evenings and nights! On weekends I’m available all day and night! Contact me and I’ll let you know what times I’m available specifically and we can work on a schedule that works for both of us! Safety is an important part of pet care. While I care for your pet, it’s important to me that I’m knowledgeable on your pet’s personal medications, eating and drinking habits, as well as playfulness and exercise habits. I’ll work closely with you and your pet to care for them in the best way possible!

About: I grew up with two Australian Shepherds and have always loved being around dogs—their comfort and unconditional love are unmatched. I’m a dependable and caring person, and my family and friends have always trusted me to walk, feed, and care for their pets, knowing they’re in great hands. I work from home around two-three days a week and would love to walk dogs before work, during lunch, and after my work. I am also available on the weekends as I typically stay local to the area! I believe that just having time to interact with animals is so special and something I really miss as my family dog doesn’t live near me anymore. I understand how special your dog is to you, and I’ll always respect any guidelines you have to ensure their safety and happiness. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable and confident when your dog is in my care. I’m very experienced with leash walking and love reinforcing good behavior with treats and belly rubs!

About: I am the go-to dog sitter for all my friends and family. For a couple hours, a day, or a week; I am a trustworthy caretaker for all loved animals. I love being outdoors and staying active, so taking care of pets fits perfectly into my daily routine. I currently work remotely, which gives me the flexibility to provide reliable, attentive care throughout the day—whether it's for walks, check-ins, or just keeping your pet company. Spending time with animals adds joy and balance to my week! I prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency. I follow each pet’s routine closely—whether that means scheduled walks, playtime, meals, or just quiet companionship. I am able to tailor to each individual to create a calm, caring environment where pets feel safe, relaxed, and loved while you're away.

About: I’ve had all different kinds of pets ranging from turtles, bunnies, chickens, and dogs since I was 5 years old. My last dog was a small dog and I’ve sat big dogs in the past. I’m currently on summer break from my university and don’t have a part time or full time job so I’ll have lots of time to take care of any pups! My house is fenced, and I have a little goldfish pond I’m creating netting over top of. My chickens are in a contained area without outside access and I currently don’t have any other pets inside of my home, so the dog could be crated or left to roam around depending on whatever is preferred.


“I began using Marisol in July 2018 to care for my 65lb senior hound dog, Holler. Although Marisol has looked after Holler several times over the last three months, I have purposely not posted a review because I selfishly do not want to share Marisol with other dog owners. Yes, she's that good. Marisol has everything that I look for in a dog sitter. First off, she is able to handle Holler who is unpredictable around other dogs. Second, she is über responsive to my booking requests, always friendly and professional, and provides detailed updates and awesome pictures on the rover cards she posts. Third, Holler loves Marisol as she always showers him lots of love and attention and often takes Holler on extra long walks whenever she looks after him. You won't be disappointed if you hire Marisol, and your dog will thank you for doing so.”

About: I grew up with two dogs and a cat and have always had a strong love for animals. Dogs in particular make me very happy and I love being around them. I see pets as a part of a person's family and they deserve to be treated as such. Animals have always seemed to be drawn to me because of my easy-going and inviting nature, and I enjoy reciprocating the love and affection they show me, however I also know how to be firm and make sure they know who is the leader of the pack. You can expect me to treat your furry companions like they are my own. I am gentle and caring, but I can also make sure they follow any house rules you have for them. I am very good with medium to larger sized dogs and enjoy giving them the exercise they need through walks or playing. I am currently available most days to sit your pups and can usually the majority of the day with them giving them lots of love and attention. I like to do meet and greets first to get to know you, your furry ones and your home. While I am watching your dog I will stick to the routine you have established for them and I will typically not take them near other dogs unless you have requested I do so.

He is a kind and gentle person and these characteristics translate into being able to quickly bond with dogs. I have witnessed Austin's relationship with his 2 prior dogs as well as any dog with which he comes into contact. He knows how to adjust his approach to animals based on his innate ability to identify each animal's personality. Austin receives just as much emotional support from being with dogs as they receive from him. I can't imagine Austin not being around dogs in his life. I highly recommend Austin as your choice to care for your dog.”
