“I appreciate that she was patient with my Nash and listened to some of the “watch outs.” As my Nash can sometimes think he’s the only dog that should be walking. I appreciate her being on time. We have a pretty tight schedule.”
“Maricela P. was just amazing with our Winston! He can be a handful at times just because he gets very excited to meet new people but Maricela handled him with the same care and affection as we do. She was the best with Winston and we are very grateful for finding her!”
About: I am a dog owner for the past 7 years and own two Setter pups. Friends have entrusted me with their dogs for petsitting and dog walking - in some occasions I would have as many as 4 dogs with me, but I wouldn’t have it any other way! As a dog parent I know how important is to have someone you trust with your baby, I will treat your dog as my own, making sure your dog is safe and happy! I mostly work from home during the week, which allows me to be flexible to go on a walk with your pup to get some fresh air or do a drop in visit to spend some time with them. When I drop in to check on your pup or take on a walk, I will always follow your instructions closely and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. During walks, I will keep a close eye on them, always be on leash, and make sure they get the right amount of exercise based on their energy level. Afterward, provide a quick pupdate so you know your pup is happy and well taken care of.
“Christina was amazing!!!! She was able to update me on every walk. Send me very cute photos and videos. I felt so safe and happy that my dog was with her. She always arrived on time and you can tell my dog loved her. She is so good with communication and asking any questions. Very easy to work with and very very friendly. I would definitely ask her again for any other services I need for my dog!!!”
About: I have been managing my 11 year old dogs diabetes for the last 3 years (blood sugar checks, insulin administration, daily exercise, & diet changes) I am a night shift nurse looking to fill my free time by loving your dog & giving them some extra play time to keep them happy I will respect your home & will treat your dog with the love & care as if it were my own. any rules you have I will follow
“Leah is amazing with my dog Susie. Susie is very big and tends to pull. Leah assured me she was a good girl on her walks ( whether that is the case or not) and I appreciate her taking her out when I am at work. It takes a lot of stress off my shoulders knowing someone I trust is walking my fur baby.”
“I highly recommend Breana. She takes really good care of my puppy who looks forward to her walks with her everyday. Very open with communication and responds to questions right away. She is very knowledgeable about dog care and very patient with my high energy puppy. Thanks for all your help!”
About: I’ve always loved playing around with dogs, especially my friends dogs when i do get to see them! They’re truly my favorite. Even though I have a cat, I’m good with both and both love me a lot. It fits into my daily week because I’m a full time college student that has pretty much a good amount of free time to walk dogs around My cat loves loves loves attention and always craves it. But with other people’s pets, it’s so fun to entertain them and make them feel loved. By walking dogs it can help me and the dog relax for a bit and have fun you know.
About: I have worked with puppies for 3.5 years and loved each and every one of them! Nothing makes me happier. This is a dream job. Hello! I’m an experienced and passionate pet lover with a lifetime of caring for animals! My journey began in childhood with my poodle, Pepper, who taught me the joy and responsibility of pet ownership. I helped walk, feed, and play with him daily, which sparked my love for caring for animals. As a parent, I raised two wonderful dogs and cared for four cats throughout my daughter’s upbringing. I even worked at a puppy shop for 3.5 years, where I gained hands-on experience grooming puppies, cleaning their living spaces, and administering oral medications. Now my husband and I are proud pet parents to a 3.5-year-old French Bulldog, Lola, who has become the heart of our home as empty nesters. I take joy in cooking for her, taking her on regular walks, and making playtime a priority. With decades of experience and a true love for animals, I understand the importance of providing pets with the care, attention, and affection they deserve. Whether it's walking, feeding, or playing, I’d love to care for your furry family members as if they were my own. When caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness. I take the time to understand each pet’s unique needs, routines, and personality to ensure they feel loved and secure while under my care. For dogs, I provide regular walks tailored to their energy levels, ensure they’re fed according to their specific dietary needs, and spend quality time playing and cuddling to make them feel at home. I’m experienced with preparing fresh meals if required and oral administering medications when needed. For cats, I ensure their feeding schedules are maintained, litter boxes are clean, and I offer plenty of play and affection (or give them space if that’s their preference!). In a client’s home, I treat the space with respect and maintain the pet’s familiar routines to help reduce stress while you’re away. My goal is to give your pets the same level of care and love I provide to my own.
About: Hello, I am a small/medium dog sitter with 8 years of experience. I enjoy playing with all size dogs but preferably will take in small dogs because of the space in my home. I also have a small dog with me so it would be fun to see her create new friends and have full bonding experience for my dog and yours. I have multiple toys for them to play as well as a good size yard for them to run around in. I will also take them out for walks and make sure they get their daily 30 minute walk. I prefer receiving information/details by text. I will answer by phone if it is more easier for my client. I also added an emergency contact if I don't respond in the next 2 hours. I'm home more often than others and taking care of other people's fur baby will be a great way for me to pass time. It will also help me meet new people and get out of the house to do daily walks. I take care of my Molly like she is my baby. I make sure she is well fed and has enough space for her to run around. I enjoy playing with her and just spending time with my Molly. If I were to be in someone's home I'd make sure I'm careful with everyone's belongings and take care of their fur babies like I do with Molly.
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats my entire life. We've always had pets in my household, I've watched friends and families dogs for 18+years I work full time but have flex availability. My days off vary by the week. Generally start work at 830 but can leave and let dogs out during breaks. I like to go on walks with dogs, and have play time with both cats and dogs. I usually go over to your home and or spend the night if you're away.
About: I have experience medicating, socializing, walking, bathing (ear cleaning and nail trims too), and house sitting dogs and cats of all different ages, needs, breeds, tempers and sizes. I currently work/volunteer with rescue dogs and cats for around 9+ years and absolutely love it! I also used to work at a veterinarian hospital for 2 years. I know how to maintain basic dog obedience and read cat and or dog behaviors very well. I always love to send report cards with you via email or text. This way you know how each day went with your lovable furry family member(s). I also enjoy sending cute and fun photos or short videos of your pet(s), wether it’s during our walk or house sitting. My goal is to always make it a pawsitive experience for you and your pet. Before work I will always have a check list making sure your fur baby is at home with everything he/she may need. After work I will go straight home to him/her and make sure they get the best care for the rest of the day. Making sure your furry family members are happy and having all their needs met makes me smile knowing they are having a pawsitive experience. I always make sure to monitor any pet in my care closely. Their safety, comfort and happiness are my biggest priorities. Cuddle time is an activity I enjoy doing with all pets. Seeing your fur baby happy with unlimited pets and affection is very rewarding to me.
