About: With roughly four decades of dedicated dog care experience, I offer more than just walks and boarding; I provide a loving home away from home. Every wagging tail receives personalized attention, snuggles, and the patience they deserve. I believe in clear communication and pay meticulous attention to every need and detail, ensuring your furry friend feels safe and cherished. From light training reinforcement to exciting walks and invigorating hikes, every moment is tailored to your dog's happiness and well-being. Entrust your beloved companion to me, where they'll find a second home filled with love, care, and adventure. I currently work part-time (flexibly) from home, so I am able to consistently attend to your pup's needs and provide play, snuggles, and exercise throughout the week/weekend. I have a fenced yard, and live in a neighborhood that is great for walking (I do daily walks and/or hikes). I am happy to adapt to whatever routine your dog is accustomed to, such as crating, furniture rules, walking or feeding routines, etc. I have a 4 year old, female Aussie/Lab mix who has yet to meet an enemy. She is a happy girl with lots of energy, but does not tend to overwhelm dogs who need their space.
About: I’ve always been an animal lover and have years of experience pet sitting, volunteering at shelters, and fostering. I’m a proud pet mom to Noelle, my sweet 5-year-old mixed breed rescue, and Milly, my 10-year-old cat. I’ll care for your pets with the same love and attention I give my own. 🐾 I’m a full-time registered nurse and lifelong animal lover. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to spend my extra time doing something I also enjoy, which is caring for animals! I know how important it is to feel completely comfortable with the person caring for your pet while you’re away. I’m dependable, attentive, and respectful of each pet’s individual routine and personality. I’ll follow your instructions closely and care for your pets and home as if they were my own.
“Gianna is the best! My dog loved her immediately and really enjoyed her lollygagging sniff and explore time after it’s been so rainy. So glad I booked her and will def call on her again!”
About: I grew up with a dog until I was 18 (Westie - Minnie) and then after college was adopted by a wonderful rescue sphynx (PyeWacket). Over then next 20 or so years I have had 4 sphyx cats (PyeWacket, Forty Two, Tesla and Cairo) and 1 Lyikoi (Cypher). Over the last year my house has had 4 puppies (from 8 weeks), 2 turtles, 2 Guinea pigs, 2 full size dogs 6 cats and multiple fish. I also often house sit for a very smart chihuahua named Mazie. Currently in between jobs so my schedule is fairly open. Like early and late walks due to the heat but open for anything. Open to late night feedings if needed. I treat your animals like they were my own. Love to play, hang out and what ever your little one needs. Need to make sure they know they are loved.
About: Hola everyone! My name is Lyana, and I wanted to share my wonderful experience as a pet and house sitter companion. As someone who adores animals and has a knack for taking care of homes, this role has been a perfect fit for me. I've had the pleasure of caring for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, birds, and even some exotic animals. Each furry or feathery friend has brought so much joy into my life. One of the things I love most about being a pet and house sitter companion is the opportunity to build strong bonds with the animals I care for. Whether it's playing fetch with a lively pup or curling up on the couch with a purring cat, the love and companionship they provide is truly heartwarming. It's incredibly fulfilling to know that I'm making a positive impact on their lives while their family is away. In addition to the joy of spending time with animals, house sitting allows me to explore different neighborhoods and communities. I've had the chance to discover beautiful parks, scenic hiking trails, and charming local spots, all while ensuring the safety and security of the homes I'm entrusted with. It's like having a mini adventure every time I take on a new house sitting assignment. I enjoy engaging in stimulating conversations with the pets or providing a calm and peaceful environment through yoga and meditation, I strive to create a positive and enriching experience for both the animals and the home. Being a sunrise person, I love starting my day bright and early, ready to tackle any tasks that come my way. This allows me to provide the utmost care and attention to the pets and house, ensuring that everything runs smoothly during the owners' absence. Outside of my pet and house sitting duties, I have a passion for baking, hiking, traveling, and freelance work. These interests keep me inspired and motivated, and I'm always eager to share my experiences and tips with others. If you're in need of a reliable, responsible, and compassionate pet and house sitter companion, I would be honored to be of service. Rest assured that I will treat your pets and home with the utmost care and respect, providing them with the love and attention they deserve. Kindly reach out to me to discuss your needs. I'm currently available to house/pet sit, and dog walking most days. We are flexible with time & days! Reach out to discuss any details for my services offered. I follow the routine of your home. My love and care for the pets is to always welcome them and watch them joyfully interact and be fully engaged in their world :)

About: I grew up with several dogs and cats in the family home. I have raised and trained a Doberman, so I know what it takes to teach them obedience and the importance of consistency. I love animals so much, they bring me so much joy. Fun fact: when I was a little girl I wanted to be a veterinarian. I feel that I have a special connection with animals; they are usually naturally drawn to me. I didn’t pursue a career as a veterinarian because I had other interests. I currently don’t have any animals because I enjoy the flexibility. I would love to take care of your animals and treat them with extra special care. I am currently working part time and would have the time to care for your pet(s) after work or on my days off. I currently work a 2-3 days a week and am available by the afternoons on the days I am working. I typically pet sit in the owners home. I find that is more comfortable for them.
