About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life -- both my own dogs and as the go-to sitter for friends, family, colleagues, and neighbors. Across my extensive time caring for dogs, I have gained experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I am particularly good with nervous or timid dogs, and I am very comfortable with dogs who have special medical needs. Last year I had to say goodbye to my own greatly beloved dog after two years of very intense cancer care. While I am not ready for a new dog of my own yet, I am eager to shower other people's dogs with affection and care. I have a very flexible schedule and am available for dog care most days. On days listed as available, I am able to spend almost all of the time at home with the dog(s). I do not currently have any other animals in the home, and your dog will receive my full attention! I have a wide variety of dog beds for them to try out and toys for them to play with.
About: I grew up with animals my whole life. I have a passion for pets of all sizes and species. I am excited to be able to help you by caring for your pets while you are away.

I have a dog of my own Feeding and watering animals, Playing with them and keeping them company, Walking the dogs, Grooming and brushing the animals' coats, Changing the cat's litter box, Providing health care if necessary, Giving them affection, so they don't feel abandoned, after their owner leaves, Sending photos to assure customers that all is well I provide daily care to my dog and would love to care for yours on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis if needed. I always follow the requests of the owner in regarding to caring for animals. If anything new comes up that I haven't seen before or that raises suspicion, I will notify the owner and include photos if applicable.

“Halley was absolutely the best! She went way above and beyond my expectations. I’ve recently had some bad luck with walkers on another app, so all the extra attention for Rocko was great. He needs consistency and Halley delivered! Such nice updates and so many photos came with every walk that I didn’t have to worry or monitor at all, like I did with these other recent experiences. I’ll definitely try and book Halley again the next time I’m out of town. ?????”
About: With experience in a dog shelter, pet sitting, and caring for my own animals, I’ve worked with pets needing extra care—whether it’s a cat with health challenges, a senior dog needing gentle attention, a playful puppy, or a shelter animal with a unique personality. I also studied animal behavior both on campus and abroad for my BA, contributing to a thorough understanding of pet behavior and individual needs. I take a patient, tailored approach to make every pet feel comfortable and loved. I am currently fully available and open to all types of pet sitting, from overnight stays to drop-in visits. With a flexible schedule, I can accommodate your pet’s specific needs and provide individualized, loving care. When caring for pets in their home, I prioritize their comfort and routine. I make sure to follow any specific instructions for feeding, exercise, and medications, while providing lots of attention, love, and playtime. I keep the home clean and secure, respecting the owner’s space, and ensure that the pet feels at ease in their familiar environment.

“Brody absolutely loves his walks with Isaiah! He’s kind, reliable, and goes above and beyond by teaching Brody new skills and reinforcing the ones he already knows. Couldn’t recommend him more!”

About: I have experience and the patience it takes to deal with reactive dogs and some experience training them. My family dogs are 2 reactive German Shepherds and I walk and train them all the time as we work on socialization and training. That being said, I have more experience, knowledge and overall skills to care for your pets than the average dog walker even if your pets are great on walks. I am more aware of my surroundings, read pet body language, and overall am always alert because with reactive dogs I have no choice. Aside from that, I also am a good trainer and even considered getting certified to become a dog trainer... My boys can do all the tricks in the book (sit, stay, paw, spin, lay down, etc.) - I have experience with my dogs, family dogs, dog walking, dog sitting etc. I come home from work at 4:30, and there is a designated dog relief area in my building. I also live in a very walkable neighborhood and I live a very active lifestyle so I hope to take your pets with me on a walk/ jog eithe rin the mornings or evenings. I live in a pet friendly building. We have a pet relief area and there are plenty of walkable places around here we will definitely be exploring.
“Alex was very patient with Joji and made sure he was comfortable with her before taking him on his walks. She went above and beyond, was very communicative and loves dogs. Thank you again Alex!”

Julio is great with my dogs! My border Collie puppy is nervous around new people. Julio was very gentle and patient with him. I appreciate Julio's calm demeanor and his commitment to learn about the dogs he walks, especially their behaviors and routines. He has good communication and feedback. Overall will definitely be booking again with Julio for dog walks!
