About: Thanks for reading, a little about me, I have a master's degree in social work, a mental health therapist, and passionate pet person. I have been a shelter volunteer in the past. I have also been trusted with pet sitting for others. I also own two corgis myself. Open schedule at this time. Flexible on timeframes and dates. Feel free to message me and we can discuss more.

About: Hello there! I have hands-on experience caring for a puppy for around two months, including helping with daily routines, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and basic training. I also volunteered with PAWS for Reading, where I helped with reading dogs and learned the importance of patience, consistency, and making animals feel calm, comfortable, and supported. I’m dependable, attentive, and careful about following instructions, whether that means feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, or any special routine your pet needs. I’ll treat your pet with care, respect, and attention like they’re my own. I am currently available at any time that suits your schedule. Kindly go ahead and book an appointment with me, and I assure you that I will respond to your request in a timely manner. Your pet’s safety and comfort come first. I keep a clean, calm, and supervised environment, follow care instructions closely, and make sure pets have what they need throughout the day, including attention, routine, and gentle care.

“Our boy immediately took to Gaia! She met him during our first week with him and she has been nothing but sweet and great with him. Bernie loves when she stops by for his daily afternoon walk. Since both my partner and I work, it is such a relief to know that our dog is in good hands when he needs some afternoon relief. Couldn’t recommend Gaia enough!!”

About: I really focus on making pets feel safe and at ease by sticking to their routines and respecting their personalities. I’m calm, patient, and very attentive. I treat every pet the way I’d want someone to treat mine: with consistency, affection, and respect for their space and needs. I’m home often and keep a consistent daily routine, so pet care fits in very naturally. I plan my day around feeding, walks, playtime, and quiet time, and I’m always mindful of sticking to a pet’s normal schedule so they feel comfortable and secure. I always want to make sure your pet sees me as a companion and not as an intruder. I treat your home and your pet with a lot of care and respect. I stick closely to your pet’s routine, make sure they feel comfortable and loved, and give them the right balance of play, affection, and calm time.

“My dog Oreo really liked Sierra and he went on a long walk with her. I would highly recommend her and will use her again to walk my dog Oreo.”

About: I love to make animals feel cared for and loved, i have some experience with puppies. Animals tend to feel comfortable around me. i’ve always been an animal person my whole life. I am currently trying to find jobs to save up for a car and to ultimately find my own place of living. I am not working any job as of right now so my schedule is pretty open. 11am-4pm are good times for me. I treat every animal with respect and care. nothing less. I am not looking to have any pets in the home i have right now because it’s not the best environment for a pet (as to why i am only looking for taking care of your pet/s inside your own home).

About: I've had pets all my life, and I've cared for many different animals and reptiles. I enjoy spending time with them, and since I don't have pets of my own, I'd enjoy spending time and caring for your pet I am available weekdays during the day or overnight, I work part time on some weekends during the day so I am available to care for your pet pretty much all week I can walk your pet, feed them, and take care of all their needs. I could either watch them during the day or pet-sit them over night.

About: Hello, my name is Chantal and I have always had a love for dogs and animals as a whole. As a kid I was raised in a home where we never once went without a dog in the home, so you could say I have a lifetime of experience with dogs. And as a fellow doggie parent I understand that the comfort of dogs always comes first. Though I don’t have career experience with pets, I have done dog sitting in the past for family friends which included a wide variety of breeds and different temperaments. Although I don’t have professional experience with dogs, I hope to give all dogs the same level of love and care that I have since I was a child. I currently work part-time in the evenings, which means I have most of the day to take care of my pets needs, including walks, feeding etc. As a dog walker I would love to offer that time to help take care of someone else’s pets needs for some good exercise and comfort. I currently live in a two bedroom apt with a balcony, but no backyard, so I always make sure to walk my own pets in a timely manner so they can have their potty breaks comfortably. I have access to a vehicle so I would apply this to any dog I visit to walk them, regardless of wether that live in an apartment, or a big house with a backyard.

About: I’ve been a dog owner for over 10 years now. Grew up with dogs, love training and taking care of them. I know all the basics of dog care. I’m only working part time, gives me plenty of extra time to take care of some pups! Super flexible and reliable. Just trying to make some extra income helping out! Taking care of the dog and home as if it’s my own, being clean and safe with the space. Making sure things are just as or better then I found it.

About: I’ve been taking care of exotic animals for about five years now in a zoo or sanctuary setting however within the past three years it has been specific to exotics cats such as tigers and lions. I have a deep passion for animals and find so much joy being able to help them in any way that I can. Not only did I work with exotics during that time but domestics as well such as dogs and cats and even on occasion rabbits. I have a lot of experience giving medications and dealing with difficult animals. I am excited for the opportunity and to help more animals! I’m currently working part time but my schedule is pretty flexible as long as I have enough of a notice, I can make it work anytime during the week! I have two boxers, a chihuahua and two cats at home and treat them as if they are my own kids (because they are) I will treat your babies the same! I believe that just because animals can’t speak for themselves doesn’t mean they don’t have a voice and I believe it is our job to take care of them to the best of our abilities and to be their voice. I have experience crating, giving medication, and with difficult dogs or cats. I can help in any way for your babies to make sure they feel safe and comfortable!

“Thank you for taking care of Oreo and especially coming on a holiday. I appreciate it so much.!”

About: "Hi, I'm Laura! I'm a dog mom myself — I have a Siberian Husky who keeps me on my toes — so I totally get how much your pup means to you. On top of that, I care for three Golden Labs through my job, taking them on beach days, hiking trips, and making sure they're fed and happy every day. I genuinely love spending time with dogs and keeping them active and adventurous. Your fur baby will be in loving, experienced hands!" Looking forward to meet your beloved pet/s! -Laura Pet care is honestly just a natural part of my day! I work part-time, so I have a really flexible schedule which means I'm not rushing around or squeezing dogs in between a packed day. Whether it's a morning walk, an afternoon drop-in, or a full house sit, I can make it work. On top of that, I already care for husky regularly, so looking after pups isn't something I clock out from — When I'm house sitting, I stay right in your home so your pup never has to leave their comfort zone — I keep their routine going just the way you have it, including feeding, playtime, and plenty of cuddles. They'll have the run of the house and outdoor time too, so they stay happy and comfortable the whole time you're away. For drop-in visits, I'll stop by, get them fed, give them some attention, and make sure everything's good. And for walks, I love getting dogs out and moving — whether it's a chill neighborhood stroll or something a little more adventurous, I'm always down for either!" I can send pictures of your fur baby as well.

“As always, it’s a treat for our pups when they get to see Bethany, and we can’t thank her enough for her help and support. our dogs are always happy, like they went on a journey.”

About: I love take to long brisk walks around the neighborhood and am looking forward to your pup joining me! I’ve pet sat for friends and family. I have kids in school so I’m available during school Hours! I’m flexible and available to take your dog for a spin around the block! I’m also available on weekends and some evenings. I can’t have pets currently but I love visiting with my family and friends dogs and I will treat yours just the same as I do them.

“Vaida was great! She came the night before to meet the dogs and ensure they were comfortable with her. They definitely were--and they thoroughly enjoyed their walk with her the next day. Thanks Vaida! We look forward to seeing you again soon!”

About: Hi! I am a pet owner for over 14+ years. Cats, dogs, birds, rabbits, turtles, and fish, I’ve had them. I’m so happy to say that all have lived happy lives with so much care and love from family. Plus tons of my family members are vets so I’ve had the amazing opportunity to meet different animals and learn all about them. This allowed me to understand animals and cater to their needs rather than be confused and let them be. I’ve also taken care of 3 cats, 5 dogs, and 3 kids all at once, so I believe I’m pretty trustworthy and responsible haha. In my house, your animal is like my own and will be given all the love in the world. Regardless, I always put pets needs over mine because they are the special creatures in Life that need all the love and care they can get :)

“Hannah was super caring with Emma. Made sure she got her walk in and was very punctual. Definitely will use her again for walks and sitting!”
