About: I have hands-on experience caring for and walking dogs through owning my own pets, including a pit bull and a German shepherd. I’m comfortable with different sizes and energy levels. I’ve also volunteer at a local animal shelter, where I interacted with dogs, helping me build patience, attentiveness, and strong animal-handling skills. I’m currently on a work break with open availability. I’m available weekdays and weekends, giving me plenty of time to care for and play with your cats. I provide a safe, calm environment, follow routines closely, and ensure pets feel comfortable and secure. I respect your home and treat every pet like my own.

About: I’ve supported pet owners by providing reliable care that focuses on routine, safety, and comfort. I’ve worked with pets of varying energy levels and personalities and understand how consistency, patience, and clear communication help animals feel at ease while away from their owners. My availability allows me to dedicate consistent time throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, and extended care. I plan my day carefully to ensure pets receive dependable attention without feeling rushed or overstimulated. I prioritize clear routines, secure spaces, and careful supervision. I follow instructions exactly as provided, keep environments clean, and remain observant of behavior changes so pets stay safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times.

About: I've had small to medium sized dogs but that does not limit me to any other sizes. I enjoy having dogs as company and playing with them till we’re both tired. I work from home and will go to the office at least once a month if needed. My work schedule is 9AM-5PM but I would be able to take your dog outside throughout the day. I live in a friendly and quiet neighborhood and parks are also available near me. I have the flexibility to drive any distance between 5-15 miles away from my home. Please require any special instructions that you would like followed for your dog and any health concerns they may have. Can't wait you meet you and your furry friend! Thank you for your consideration.

Through years of experience, I gained lots motivation to take care of pets. It taught me patience, care, responsibility, compassion, empathy, creativity, love, and so much education about dogs, cats and other animals!

I also really enjoy cooking, acquiring new languages, horse back riding, drawing, and painting. I would say that I am a caring and affectionate person due to my empathy for people and animals. I also love how animals are therapeutic for people. People say that I smile a lot, maybe because I love to make others happy and develop a positive environment for those around me. I am available full time and I look forward to taking care of your fur baby! Thank you for your time. Kindly, Artsy Becca I occasionally work from home as an online tutor so I will have plenty of time to spend with your fur baby! I enjoy a good long walk just as much as your dog does. Why not let them sniff and explore a new spot or a new flower for 10 minutes? I will keep your fur baby lots of company and follow whatever instructions you give me! I am very understanding and compassionate about every parents needs and preferences when caring for your pups!

I don’t have my own yard but outside my house there’s a nice space for pets where they can run, walk safe. It’s like a nice big green yard basically.

About: I have 15+ years of experience pet sitting for dogs and cats for friends, family, and neighbors. I grew up owning cats, but I have walked and watched dogs overnight. My schedule is flexible. I can do walks, play dates, and possibly other services depending on the time and day. I have more availability on the weekends. I never had another person or clients pet in my home. I would go to their residence. I’m very attentive to every animal I’m responsible for when I’m with them.

About: Love dogs and would love a chance to play with yours! Used to be an athlete in college and definitely willing to run around to tire out your dog. Also I live close to a dog park and lots of great trails to walk on. My apartment is dog friendly and will be able to walk around my area at night as well without any issues. I currently have one dog, a toy poodle and a cat. Both are very friendly, although the toy poodle just wants to cuddle all day and the cat just wants to eat nonstop. The toy poodle Mocha, enjoys playing with dogs and people. My cat is also very friendly. I’m available to pet sit before 8a and after 5p on weekdays. If needed, I may be able to stop by midday on weekdays. On weekends, I am available all day. I will clean up after your pet and try to take in any mail/packages. I will also try to take out any trash from cat litter or food cans while you are away.

I cannot recommend Tina enough! My schedule is pretty hectic, and knowing that Jinto is in such capable hands is a huge weight off my shoulders. Tina is incredibly punctual, professional, and sends the best photo updates and detailed notes after every walk. Jinto comes back exhausted and happy every single time. If you’re looking for someone who actually works with your dog rather than just dragging them around the block, Tina is the one!

Hannah was amazing with my Tallulah! First, she was available on such short notice and really helped me out when another sitter cancelled. She went above and beyond and made sure Tallulah was loved and cared for. I felt completely at ease. She was so accommodating since my pup is dealing with a few health issues right now. She wrote a long note at the end and sent lots of pictures. I highly recommend Hannah and definitely want to work with her again!
