About: What sets me apart is the patience, attention, and genuine love I give every pet. I take time to understand each pet’s personality and routine so they feel comfortable and safe while you’re away. I’m experienced with puppies and senior pets. With puppies, I reinforce basic training and positive habits. With senior pets, I provide gentle care, slower walks, and extra attention to their comfort. I also keep owners updated with regular photos and messages so you always know your pet is happy and well cared for. I work from home, so my schedule is pretty flexible. Im always down to make a new furry friend or 2 or a few j When caring for pets, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while maintaining their normal routine. In my home, I provide a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment where pets can relax and feel at ease. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and regular potty breaks. I follow the owner’s feeding schedules and any specific instructions to keep their routine consistent.

“Shailyng was great. The pups loved her. She walked our pups five early mornings in a row and she was always 1-2 mins early, which was great being so punctual.”

“I was looking for a last minute walker and Marine came through for us. Although it was her first time walking Prince, Prince warmed up to her right away. Thanks Marine!”

“Arilla has been a reliable and responsive dog walker! She really loves dogs and is clearly very good with them. She is communicative and thorough and I will definitely be booking her again!”

Katie G.

“Would highly highly recommend Joey. She is super responsive, caring, reliable, detail oriented, and was just overall great with our pups Mozie. She exercised him well every day and took great care of him. She also sent such cute pics every day she took him on a walk, and was detailed in her updates. We loved Joey and will definitely be using her again in the future!”

Cammie K.

“Dena was great with Wally. He liked her immediately and I trust his instincts. She followed my instructions to a T and was conscientious of the heat and came early for walks when it was too hot out in the afternoon. He can be stubborn but she worked with him and was patient. Thanks Dena!”

About: I’ve been around dogs pretty much my whole life, whether it was my standard poodle as a young kid, my mini poodle as a teenager or, more recently, the senior dogs I’ve fostered or adopted from Muttville. Dogs have always been in good hands with me. Right now my wife and I have two dachshund chihuahua mixes we adopted at five and six. Our home is a dog home. They’re on the couch, on the bed and even under the covers (if they want to burrow). They’re in the mix and they’re loved. If your dog has medications, I’ve got it. If they have special needs or they’re older and need a slower pace, I have ample experience with that. I’m currently dedicating my time to taking care of pups, so your pup will have my undivided attention throughout the days and evenings. The max amount of time I’d leave your dog alone would be for four hours. I have two dogs of my own that I would keep separate from your dog to ensure everyone’s safety and comfort. I have a fully fenced backyard with a couple of stairs. I also have pet stairs inside to help senior dogs get up on to the couch and bed

About: Grew up in a farm with tons of animals and dogs and cats, I have over 20 years of experience caring and boarding doggies. They help me a lot with my anxiety and depression and it's a full time job. Available all the time. I work from home so I'm always at home available to watch your baby. They will love making me company and that would be my pleasure. I have a huge fenced yard and I'm always at home. I have a daughter and I do domestic work at home. Animals will help me keep company.

“Jennifer is such a reliable and loving pet sitter! My golden, Aioli, gets so excited to see her for his walks and Jennifer makes sure my lazy boy gets his exercise in. She follows through on instruction, is timely with her arrivals, and never cancels last minute. I rely on Jennifer so much since I work 4 days a week in office. I am so grateful for Jennifer and I know Aioli is too!!”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with extensive experience caring for both dogs and cats. I currently have a 6-year-old Burmese and Australian Shepherd mix, and over the years I’ve cared for four cats for more than 10 years combined. I lead an active lifestyle and enjoy working out, running, hiking, and spending quality time with animals. Long walks, play sessions, and providing both physical exercise and mental stimulation are some of my favorite ways to help pets stay happy and healthy. If your dog is energetic and requires extra activity, engagement, or attention, I’m more than happy to provide the level of care they need. I genuinely enjoy building connections with animals and treating them like family. I also created a social media account dedicated to my own dog, which reflects my love for capturing special moments and celebrating the joy pets bring into our lives. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your beloved companion, and I strive to provide attentive, reliable, and compassionate care for every pet I meet. During the week I work from 10 AM to about 6 PM Monday through Friday. Outside of those hours I am available from 7:30 AM to about 9 AM Monday through Friday. Then on the weekends I’m typically free starting as early as you need me and as late as you need me. I ensure that I maintain my litter for my cats clean consistently washing the litter boxes replacing the litter and showing that I’m scooping at least three times a day. I also feed my cats twice a day and ensure they have a mix of wet food and kibble. For my dog I typically always wake up early in the morning to take him on a long walk and then I typically provide my dog breakfast followed by a treat. I spent a lot of time next to him so I will pet him hug him give him attention simulation. I did ensure that after work when I come home that I walk him at least 30 minutes and ensure that I am checking in on him and feeding him no later than 6 PM every day and then going on another walk after dinner. On the weekends I typically tip my dog on longer walk so we’ll go out and walk for about an hour on Saturday and Sunday I’ll make sure that I keep him away from a high foot traffic area is just to avoid any potential dog interactions that we may not be fully confident in as we don’t know everyone’s pet care routine or nuanced behavior issues. I’m always attentive and patient.

About: While I’m new to dog sitting, I bring a lot of patience, a love for animals, and a strong willingness to learn. I’m dependable and will follow your care instructions closely. I may not have years of experience, but I’ll treat your dog like family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I currently work at a school, so I’m available on weekends for pet walks, pet sitting, and drop-in visits. With summer approaching, my schedule will be much more open. Please feel free to refer to my calendar, as I do my best to keep it up to date. I’m committed to providing consistent, loving care by following your pet’s routine and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. Your pet’s well-being is always my top priority. I have over a year of experience caring for pets and offer pet sitting, drop-ins, and walks. I always follow your instructions closely to keep your pet’s routine consistent, including feeding, potty breaks, exercise, and any special care. During drop-ins and walks, I make sure your pet gets the attention, activity, and care they need. For pet sitting, I provide a calm, safe environment in your home while being respectful of your space. I care for every pet with patience, kindness, and genuine love, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away.

About: I’ve been helping to care for our family’s cats (feeding and litter boxes) from a very young age. I also have quite a bit of experience pet-sitting and have stayed overnight to care for friends’ pets. I will often take family or friends’ pets for walks while visiting, just because I enjoy being around animals. I am very diligent and will maintain any schedule or special instructions you might have. I do work full time from 8-4:30, Monday through Friday, but I am available in the evenings and on weekends. I do some tutoring after work but will be able to incorporate pet care into my schedule. I live in an apartment, but we do have a fenced in dog park and there are several large parks nearby. I do have a cat and dog (who are rather spoiled), but they are both quite friendly and ready to keep your pet company. My apartment is a decent size, and I strive to take my dog (a senior mini pinscher) out at least four times per day.

“Excellent! On time. Friendly. My dog is safe and he loves them. They follow our care instructions and are very flexible with days/times. Highly recommend”
