About: Experience dog sitter with an overflowing love for all pets. I would love to help you take care of your pet and love them as if they were my own! I've owned and cared for dogs from a very young age and love being around them. I am located in the downtown/channelside area, so I can get to wherever in a pinch! I also work remotely with flexible work hours, so I am looking to fill time throughout my week caring for your pet or house sitting. My fiancé and I aren't quite in the point of life to have our own dog, so I get my fix of pets and cuddles through the pets of others! I work remotely Monday-Friday with flexible hours that allow me the ability to be active with your pet throughout the day, take them on multiple walks if needed, and offer extra cuddles/play time! I will ensure that your pets are taken care of as if they were my own! I love to provide clients with daily photo and text updates, especially if owners are on vacation or away for multiple nights. As mentioned, I have a very flexible work schedule with very few meetings, so I can provide your pet the necessary attention and exercise during the day! This also allows me to stick to your dog's routine if they have a certain structure they are used to.

About: I have had golden retrievers since the day I was born and love caring for all kinds of animals. Taking them for walks, playing with them and giving the most genuine care I can is at my top priority. I’d love to help you and your puppy out! I am an anesthesiologist assistant and I’m currently completely off until mid September from work so I have a lot of availability right now! Thank you for your consideration. I respect all clients goods, and have never been anything but very trustworthy. I have the puppy’s best in mind, and more importantly the family’s best interest as well!

About: With over 10 years of experience as a dedicated dog sitter, I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds and temperaments. I’m devoted to ensuring their comfort, happiness, and wellbeing while their owners are away. I closely follow your instructions for feeding, medications, exercise, and routines, tailoring my care to your dog’s unique personality and needs. My goal is to provide a safe, positive, and personalized experience for your pet. I treat your pet as a beloved family member, offering the same love and companionship they’re accustomed to at home. I also provide regular photo updates for your peace of mind and reassurance. If you’re seeking a reliable, experienced sitter who will prioritize your dog’s happiness and care, please feel free to reach out! My remote work allows me to prioritize a structured and consistent routine for your pet. I structure my day around your pet's needs and ensure they receive the individualized attention they deserve. I'm available whenever you need me, offering everything from quick walks to overnight house sitting. When house sitting or pet sitting in a client's home, I adhere strictly to their care instructions. I maintain your pet's regular schedules for feeding, medications, exercise, potty breaks, and playtime. If there are multiple pets, I make sure to give each individual attention and care based on their unique needs. I also reach out with any questions to make sure I'm providing care tailored to your pet's preferences. During walks and play time, I keep a close eye on dogs to monitor their safety and happiness. For cats and small animals, I make sure to freshen food/water, scoop litter, and interact with them so they feel comfortable and stimulated. I treat all homes and pets in my care with the utmost respect. I would communicate any issues promptly and send photo updates so owners have peace of mind. My goal is to ensure your pets are enriched and feeling loved while you're away and that you come back to your home cleaner than it was when you left!

About: My husband and I have a puppy ourselves; we've been through the rough with trying to find a boarding house we trust our fur-baby with while we've gone on vacation. Trust that with us, your pup will be taken care of and have all the cuddles and tummy rubs while having a friend to play with while your away! We are only a call away, if needed reassurance as well... We are available most weekends, Friday we both work until 5 PM but Saturday and Sunday I am home all day. I can be open to weekdays if absolutely needed but know I work Monday-Friday from 9 AM-5 PM. My husband and I are both 27 years old with no children at the moment so we are keeping ourselves busy with all the animals. We love dog's and dog's love us, sometimes I swear Anthony(my husband) is a dog whisperer... I have a fenced yard and one friendly golden retriever to keep your fur-baby occupied. I am at home most weekends which means I am available to go for walks, and play in the yard. If you prefer, I can also crate your pet at night or whatever your preference is. We love interactive play in our household, as well as downtime. We like to keep our pup busy with toys that she inevitably destroys, but also interactive toys like sniff pads and rope pulls. About the sitter: My name is Eliza and my husband's name is Anthony. We met years ago now through friends and have been inseparable since! I'm 27 years old, and Anthony is right around the corner. We've decided to wait for kids, so our perfect weekend is surrounded by all the animals. We love dog's and cat's too! I plan on getting a kitty soon, we're just waiting until the right moment. We just bought our first home, and we couldn't be happier. It is a 2 bedroom with plenty of room for the dogs to run around and play. It also has a fenced in backyard, which is a huge deal with pets that like to run around crazy. About Daisy: Our puppy is only 2 years old as of right now. She is a ball of energy and that is the best way I can describe her! We knew we were going to get a golden retriever before we even moved in with one another. So it was just about finding the right one for us, and as soon as we saw her I knew. She is so interesting and has the biggest personality. Daisy is so sassy and is not afraid to show you. She's doing so good with her training, but still has some ways to go. We are so excited to meet and take care of your family member as you need. Your pet's home away from home! :)

About: I have been surrounded by animals pretty much my entire life, from my own to my friends and family. I’ve always been one to accept helping a friends or neighbors pets while their out of town. Not just by being there and present but by giving them all my attention making sure they are as happy as I am to be in their presence. I work part time Monday Tuesday and Thursday and any or the other time is dedicated to taking care of anything important and that could happily be time spent with your lovely pets! I have a massive fenced in back yard and a the inside can be tailored to any animal. I also have a good sized back porch that’s screened in.
