This was our second time using Teresa and we couldn’t recommend her more. She goes above and beyond for our pets. Our dog is always so excited to see her for his walks while we are away. She even gives some extra attention to our outside kitties. We will definitely use her again in the future.

Williams was very courteous and even avoided knocking when he could hear my fiancé getting out dogs’ harnesses on so that they wouldn’t bark at the door, which was very thoughtful. Our dogs seemed to like him and enjoy their walk with him too!

Somiya was very proactive and reached out to meet my dog beforehand so that she would know how to best take care of her. I also loved the follow up pictures and notes on how my doggie behaved. I definitely recommend Somiya if you are looking for someone to go above and beyond for your pets needs!

About: I have never had a time in my life where I have never had a dog, so I am more than familiar with dog care. I have been relied upon for walks, feeding, playtime, and medicine distribution for both family dogs and friends’ dogs. I am a university student with a flexible schedule, but I do go home to work and over the summer. I would love to help you take care of your sweet fur babies whenever you need me! I have a fenced in yard where my two dogs are able to romp around a little bit and have good space to go to the bathroom. I also have a pool in the yard so they are able to swim and cool down. I adore spending quality time with dogs, so I love to hang out with them inside and play that way. I take dogs on walks at the very least once a day, weather permitting. When I am gone for a day, I take my dogs to Evergreen Pet Lodge, where they take incredible care of them and socialize until I can pick them up.

About: I’ve loved animals my entire life, and grew up caring for both dogs and cats. I currently have a 5 month Doberman puppy and I am comfortable with daily routines, training, and exercise needs. As a former Air Force member and a parent of two, I bring reliability, responsibility, and attentiveness to every pet I care for. I’m committed to providing safe, consistent, and compassionate care so your pets feel comfortable and well cared for while you’re away. I currently provide pet care on a full-time basis as I’ve recently returned to the U.S. after separating from the Air Force and welcoming my second child. My schedule allows me to offer reliable, attentive care with clear communication. I have a friendly, loving Doberman puppy with plenty of energy who enjoys having a playmate. I also have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play, along with cameras to ensure pets are always within view. Inside, there are plenty of dog toys available to keep your pup engaged, active, and happy throughout their stay.

About: I currently have two amazing dogs, Oslo and Annie. Oslo is a Labrador Pit Bull mix. I have taken care of him since he was a puppy. Annie is a Pit Bull mix. I got Annie when she was 2. Both dogs love to play out back in the fenced in yard. What sets me apart? I had a dog with 3 legs and he required special care. His name was Kal. I had a dog named Charlette. She was very overweight when I got her and I helped slim her down by adjusting her diet and walking. I got Charlette when she was old. I took care of her until she died of old age. I have taken care of dogs that were emotionally and physically abused by their previous owners and I have a huge heart for helping dogs through those awful situations. My current dog Annie is a classic example of a dog that can be an amazing companion even after emotional and physical abuse from a previous owner. I also volunteered at final victory through the doggy day out walking program. I participated in the Mardi Gras Parade with one of Final Victory dogs and I have volunteered at the Final Victory Campus to help with cleaning doggy bowls for all the dogs. I can work full time any day of the week. I am available for walking services or staying at the pets home for as many nights as needed. I do not offer boarding services at my home due to Annie still learning that other dogs are a safe space and mean no harm. I care for my pets by playing fetch, giving treats, playing tug of war with a rope, feeding, bathing, providing potty break, walking, and socializing with other dogs. I don't trim dogs nails.

About: I love, love, LOVE animals and will lavish TLC on your fur babies! I started taking care of my neighborhood dogs and cats when I was 10-years-old in Greenville, SC. It's stressful for pets to be boarded while their owners are away, so I try to make sure that they feel loved and secure when I take care of them. I give lots of belly scratches and am known by my doggie work neighbors as the Treat Lady. I take my pet-sitting responsibilities seriously and make your pet my priority when you entrust them in my care. I want to you to go away with a light heart, knowing that your dog or cat is in my loving hands and that I'll spoil them rotten...
