About: I rescued my first dog off the side of the street when I was In college! I’ll love your pet like I love My own! I’ve taken care of dogs since I was A teenager and have trained several dogs in both Dallas and NJ - basic commands and basic social etiquette. I work in higher education so I’m free all summer long to give your pet the best care possible! My availability is open until mid august and then I only work till noon Mondays through Thursdays so I’m very much at home and hanging with the pups! I have A 6 year old black lab in house- so your pup will have someone to play with (and a crate full of bark box toys!) your dog will have a chance to utilize the turf dog park in my community, go on 1.5 mile walks, and have many potty breaks as I’m home all day and night! Marco is easy going and likes all dogs - he even shares the bed! I have A fenced in turf yard with space for the animals to relax. I live In a townhome. Please note- I live in a community with breed restrictions therefore, I am Unable to take in certain dogs for boarding (I love Them all, but have to follow the rules!)

About: I’ve spent over 12 years caring for my three family dogs through every stage of life, and growing up in a pet-friendly household gave me a lifelong love for animals. I’ve also cared for and watched friends’ dogs, so I’m comfortable with a variety of personalities and needs. I treat every pet like my own, giving them plenty of attention, love, and care to make sure they feel happy, safe, and relaxed while they’re with me. I work full-time Monday–Friday, with Fridays at home, and I’m fully available on weekends. I absolutely love spending time with dogs—giving them attention, exercise, and companionship is one of my favorite ways to spend my free time, and it pairs perfectly with my love for working out and getting my steps in! Pet care lets me share that love while also earning a little extra as a young professional. Your pet’s safety and well-being is my top priority. On walks, I will keep dogs securely leashed and ensure they get exercise at a comfortable, enjoyable pace. During drop-ins, I will follow your instructions carefully for feeding, medications, and routines, providing a calm and attentive presence so your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for.

“We used Cynthia 3 yrs ago when my brother got married so when it was my sister's turn we knew exactly who we wanted... Cynthia. She had simply asked if anything had changed. She remembered everything (which was a blessing because we forgot to inform her... lol) She was excited to see Peach and Pepper again and I knew that they were excited to see her. Thank you Cynthia for taking such good care of your babies again. ❤️”

About: Hi, I’m Shana (Shay-nuh 😉)! I’ve been a trusted go-to for friends and family for years. Caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. From puppies to seniors, I tailor my care to fit each pet’s unique needs. I raised my American Bulldog from 10 weeks old, so I know how much consistency, patience, and love matter. Whether it’s a daily walk, playtime, or an overnight stay, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. 🐾 What you can expect: ✔️ Reliable, loving care ✔️ Experience with big breeds, seniors & puppies ✔️ Flexible scheduling ✔️ Clear communication and plenty of updates ✔️ Lots of walks (if they like them) ✔️ Lots of love and attention, every time I can even run with your dog if they have lots of energy and like running! I don’t have pets of my own right now, which means I’m extra excited to welcome yours into my life… even if just for a little while. ❤️ ⸻ I work from home at least three days a week, which means I can give your pet lots of attention, playtime, and potty breaks during the day. On the days I go into the office, I have a flexible schedule and can come and go as needed to care for your pet. I live in a great townhouse community that is tucked away. I have a small fenced-in patio where your pet can safely enjoy some fresh air and sunshine. It’s quiet, safe, and has over a mile of side walks that wind throughout the neighborhood. It’s easy to get multiple walks (long or short) everyday. There is also a fenced in dog park in the neighborhood. When I do drop-ins, I always take time to give your pet attention, love, and company. I never just let a pet out and leave. They deserve more, especially after being alone for a few hours. Your pet’s happiness and comfort are always my top priority.

About: First time in my life I have not owned a dog, I have been a go to for friends when they need a sitter for years. I would love to share my love for animals with your critters : ) I’ve owned aggressive dogs, nervous/insecure dogs, had between 1 and 6 in the house at a time, raised pups from as young as 8 weeks, love training and am happy to continue working on whatever it is you need from fun/cute tricks to muzzle/crate training. I work from home every day but Thursdays, my office is dog friendly and usually has 2-5 dogs each day. If your dog is more comfortable in an enclosed office I can take one but typically work in the open office setting where they can be free to visit coworkers and play with other pups or be tied to my desk to keep a closer eye. Can also stay home most of the time if you are more comfortable with them staying in my home. Love a morning walk to start my day, enclosed backyard so they can have quick bathroom access whenever needed. In my home pets are welcome to hang on my bed next to my desk while I work and look out the window, welcome on the couch or space for a crate. Whatever is most comfortable for your pet. Pretty typical routine, I work 9-6 with an hour for lunch whenever is convenient. Usually up around 7am and winding down by 10-11pm

About: What makes me different is my deep understanding of dogs at every stage of life—from playful puppies to frosty faced seniors. I can provide gentle, attentive care for older dogs with special needs like medication schedules, and extra patience. I focus on building trust with each dog and tailoring care to their personality and energy level. Whether it’s an energetic walk or a cozy cuddle session, I’m here to make your pup feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine—I plan my schedule around the needs of the pets I’m caring for. From early morning walks to evening check-ins, I make sure each pet gets the attention, exercise, and affection they need. I’m committed to being reliable and present. Caring for animals isn’t just a job for me—it’s something I truly enjoy and prioritize every day. Whether in my home or yours, I provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment tailored to your pet’s needs. At my place, pets enjoy cozy spaces, playtime, and a consistent routine. In your home, I maintain familiar schedules, ensure cleanliness, and give attentive care—including feeding, walking, administering medications, and plenty of affection. I’m experienced with puppies, senior pets, and everything in between. Your pet’s comfort and happiness are my top priorities, and I always provide updates so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands.


“Candace was so great with our frenchie! We so appreciated her patience in making sure Ruby was comfortable and had time to warm up to her. We definitely recommend Candace!”


About: I have plenty of experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and development level. I have grown up caring for dogs of my own. As an adult, I volunteered for a local humane society, caring for many dogs while preparing them for adoption. I’ve cared for senior dogs with health conditions and puppy’s that requires extra attention. I have been a foster mom to dogs of various ages in recent times and have two very friendly pups of my own that absolutely love other dogs. I work from home full-time, so I am available to give constant care and companionship to your pet while you are away. Lots of snuggles and potty breaks throughout the day to keep your pet content. I have a fenced in backyard that allows less active pets to soak up the sun. I live in an extremely pet friendly neighborhood that has plenty of trails for long walks for your pet.

About: I have taken care of animals from chickens and lizards to dogs and cats since before i went to high school, but started taking it seriously when i turned 15 (5 years ago now!) After taking a year off of dog sitting (i got my own puppy and had to train him) now i’m ready to get back into the business! I am working part time at a coffee shop, so i’m up early but out early too! I can usually drop by before work, around 6, after work, around 1, and in the evening, from 7-10. I can’t care for pets in my home, because of the volume of animals i have. But if i’m at your house, i stay with them and play with them from 30 min to an hour each check in (including walks). I tidy up using my own cleaning supplies if any animals made a mess (i also like to side hustle as a house cleaner, if that piques your interest!) I make sure to give treats and love every time i visit!

Bre S.
“Bre is an excellent care giver for pets. She is very trustworthy, reliable, and responsible. She has watched and walked my own dogs many of times. Her home is neat and clean and I would feel very comfortable leaving my dogs with her for long weekends. She loves to take my dog to the dog park, go for a swim in a pool or at the beach, or just long walks. I would give her a 10 out of 10 to pet sit.”

Shana V.
“I'm starting to think my dog likes Shana more than me! My 70 lb Weimaraner is always interested in people but expresses a different joy to see Shana. She has convenient availability and does a wonderful job sensing if he just needs let out or is wanting a walk or time spent when she completes her pop ins. She cares for his preferences and was great about learning his key words. Definitely recommend Shana to care for your pet!”


Nicholas H.
“Nick is one of the best people I've met when it comes to animals. I honestly think my dog likes him more than me! He always checks on her well-being, makes sure she has food and water, and takes the time to play with her outside during his workday. He's incredibly responsible and loving when it comes to pets, and I highly recommend him as a caregiver!”


Andrea W.
“After hiring Andrea as my dog walker and sitter, I was immediately impressed by her exceptional attention to detail. She took the time to learn my dog’s routine, preferences, and quirks, ensuring every walk and visit was tailored perfectly. Andrea provided thoughtful updates, photos, and even noted changes in behavior I hadn’t noticed myself. Her genuine care and professionalism gave me complete peace of mind. My dog absolutely adores her, and it’s clear she treats every pet as if they were her own. Andrea goes above and beyond—she’s not just a dog sitter, she’s a trusted part of our family.”
