Dog Sitting in Flanders

About: I have been around dogs all of my life and have experience with dogs of many different breeds and age ranges. Coming from previous experience at a dog boarding facility, I am trained in feeding, handling, and medicating dogs and have worked with dogs of various levels of aggression. Please note that I don't have any experience with cats. This is what I do, so I can be on-call 24 hours for the days that I am available. I have my own dog that I take care of, but I can usually fit your pet into my routine! Please keep in mind that, while I do accept same day booking for some services, any service requested with less than 24 hours notice will come with an additional 50% fee. I currently cannot board dogs since my apartment is not big enough to house more than one dog. When caring for dogs, I make sure to give them the attention and space they require. Please instruct me or provide me with details on how you want your dog to be cared for (and also if your dog has any allergies, I love to give treats!!!)

“Paola was so reliable and flexible. I had to change my request a few times and each time she responded quickly that it was no issues for her. She arrived exactly as requested and did all the tasks that I asked of her. She texted me when she had a question, which made feel so confident that she was taking everything very serious and didn't want to make a mistake. I will 100% contact her again when I go away.”

About: Over the past 5+ years, I’ve cared for the pets of friends and family, not as a business, but as a way to support them during vacations, work trips, or emergencies. It’s something I’ve always done out of love and a genuine desire to help. My wife also grew up having different pets, including cats, dogs, and other small animals. Together, we share a strong bond with animals and a commitment to provide them with comfort, safety, and affection. I work 100% from home, which allows me to provide consistent attention and care to the pets I look after. Your dog will enjoy plenty of companionship, playtime, and bathroom breaks throughout the day. They’ll never feel alone or ignored. We live in a comfortable, pet-friendly townhouse where your pet will be treated like family. Pets are welcome on the furniture and free to roam throughout the house. There are no restrictions on movement inside, so they can relax and settle in wherever they feel most comfortable. While we don’t have a backyard, we make sure dogs get regular outdoor time with safe, on-leash walks around our quiet, secure complex and the surrounding neighborhood. We never allow pets off-leash while outside, under any circumstances, to ensure their safety at all times.

“Laura was great with Thor. She was able to handle his playful energy and take care of him on my days at work. Trustworthy and I highly recommend!”

About: Dogs mean a lot to me. Growing up with German Sheppards, I really needed to be disciplined with them. Dogs need high attention. I'm very active with them, constantly playing and walking them. Giving them the best exercise possible. I've worked with senior dogs. I did as much as they can handle. Walks at their own pace, play with them when necessary. Gave them their medications on time, let them rest as needed. Every dog is different. I've worked with younger dogs, very energetic. Take them to parks to play, or long walks. I helped trained them. Waiting to start a job in federal law enforcement. Just got out of the military in August. Currently unemployed, I will be doing this full time. I'm pretty flexible. Free weekdays and weekends. No better way to work then spending it with dogs everyday. Make sure they have water always, dog dishes are cleaned. No objects around that they can choke on. Playing and walking with them consistently everyday.

About: I love dogs of all breeds, ages, and sizes and treat each one I meet as if they were my own. I have a large back yard and live near a dog park and can give your dog plenty of fun and exercise with other dogs! I care so much for dogs I've even considered fostering them. I have a dog who is very sociable and will be a great playmate for your dog! If your dog isn’t good with other dogs, I'll leave mine at home for walks and drop-ins. I've had dogs since I was 10 years old and have experience with feeding, medicating, socializing, and training them, if that's what they need. But make no mistake, every dog needs love and I make sure I give them plenty of it! During the week, I'm generally available most hours of the day as I work from home. Weekends are wide open if you need a getaway! I know each dog has their own specific needs, and I’ll go the extra mile to make sure your fur baby is taken care of exactly the way you want. You’ll get plenty of pics, videos and updates so you’re always in the know. Your peace of mind and your dog’s safety and comfort are of utmost importance to me, and you’ll get all that and more when I care for your furry family member. I work full time from home, so i can pretty easily work my schedule to allow me time to step out and care for your pup when you need someone I have a fully fenced in yard and a vigilant eye, so you’ll always have peace of mind knowing your pup is safe and secure. I know some dogs are quicker to warm up than others, so I always make sure to let them come to me on their own for sniffs so they feel they can trust me. My dog is extremely friendly, so I’ll always make sure to keep her separated until your dog is ready for her to come up and make friends

About: Growing up I had a high energy Saint Bernard and I also work with horses! These have taught me how to be assertive but also gentle with all animals! I am a senior in college, and my classes are only Tuesday/Thursdays. The other 5 days a week I love to spend making new animal friends! When dropping in to hang out with your pet their water will always be refilled, food/treats/meds given on time, and will make sure that they get all the rubs and scratches. My first priority is their comfort!

“A delight! So thankful Sarah was able to check in on such short notice. Arrived on time, got a cute pic thus making my cat a happy boy! Thank you so much!”

“Bridget was an incredibly thoughtful and caring pet sitter! She carefully followed all my instructions, played with my cat, and sent detailed updates and great photos. I will definitely be using her again!”

About: My family and I have been taking care of dogs on and off for 15 years. Our dog has had two litters totaling 23 (Creampuff Labradoodle is the breeder) which we have hosted in our home as they grew up. We love nature, being outdoors, and all things animal related! We host play dates at our home often and our pup enjoys the company. Things to note: we are a busy household and have three children. We are in and out throughout the day but never for long periods of time when watching pups. Visiting dogs must be comfortable around my dog and children. I will always do a meet and greet before taking a dog in. Must know basic training skills and be clean upon arrival, and be house trained. Things to bring for day care/boarding: Bed, water and food bowls, crate. If a crate is not an option then we can use our gated corral. They are able to have free rein over house, I am fine with that but as a safety precaution or for use when we leave I prefer to have an option to contain the pups. I have toys, towels, and treats. If any signs of aggression are shown or excessive behaviors I will ask if I can gently train your dog with a sound device. I have used this on my own dog and it works great as a non invasive tool if unpredictable circumstances arise. Our back yard is fenced and we take extra care at our front door and can block the foyer with an extra gate for safety. I own a photography business so I make my own schedule. If I am away from the house, it is not for long at all and I do all my editing from my home office. I am flexible and accommodating to various needs. I have a fully fenced back yard. We have a gate for leaving uncreated dogs in if we run out for a bit. It can block off the foyer area or be set up by the deck door for views of the yard.

“Sophia was so easy to work with and my pup really liked her. She walked her each day and sent pictures to update us. We had some flight delays due to weather and Sophia was very accommodating. I would highly recommend her!”

About: What truly sets me apart is the heart I bring to every animal I care for. I treat each pet like my own, with endless love, patience, and tenderness. Whether it’s administering medications, following special diets, or simply understanding their unique personalities, I have a deep intuitive connection that helps me sense what they need and provide the most compassionate, customized care. With me, your pet is not just looked after — they’re cherished, protected, safe and loved. I’m self-employed, which allows me to create a flexible schedule and dedicate focused, quality time to each pet I care for. This means I can tailor visits to your cat or dog’s specific needs, whether it’s administering medications, special feeding routines, or simply giving extra love and attention. My deep experience with pets, including special needs care, combined with my intuitive connection to animals, ensures that every visit is not just reliable but compassionate, attentive, and customized to keep your furry family members happy, healthy, and comfortable. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment above all else. In my home, pets are welcomed into a clean, secure, and comfortable space where they can feel relaxed and at ease. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully — from feeding schedules and medications to exercise routines — while respecting their space and property. I ensure doors, gates, and enclosures are secure, monitor pets closely, and provide a loving, attentive presence so they feel safe and cared for at all times. My goal is to create a stress-free, nurturing environment where every pet feels loved, secure, and happy.

I have saved or tried to save countless stray cats, birds, rabbits, deers, etc…I volunteer for years at local animal shelters. But I never thought of making it a "job".
