“Thanks for the help. Vassu was very prompt in messaging about Yoshi's walks and how he was doing. Was very good with the Yoshi. Always on time and if there was any delay she texted me immediately. Thanks for taking such good care of Yoshi.”

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my deep dedication to providing personalized care tailored to each pet's needs. I have hands-on experience caring for a variety of pets, from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra attention and patience. I excel at establishing a safe, nurturing environment that helps pets feel comfortable and loved in their owners' absence. Beyond standard pet care, I bring exceptional attention to detail, ensuring pets maintain their routines, whether it's administering medication, feeding on a precise schedule, or providing stimulating activities to keep them happy and healthy. What truly makes my services unique is that I view pet care as not just a job but an opportunity to serve the community. As a mother of two teenagers, I involve my children in learning how to responsibly care for animals under my guidance. This helps them understand the value of compassion, empathy, and giving back to others by treating pets with the same love and respect we would our own family members. Together, we aim to provide peace of mind to pet owners by treating their furry family members as our own. Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily and weekly routine. As someone who juggles multiple responsibilities, I prioritize creating a structured schedule that allows me to provide attentive, consistent care to the pets I look after. Each day, I plan my tasks around the specific needs of the pets in my care, ensuring their feeding, walks, playtime, and any special requirements—like medication or grooming—are handled on time. My flexibility and time-management skills allow me to accommodate even last-minute requests, providing peace of mind to pet owners with busy lives. Incorporating pet care into my routine has also been an invaluable way to teach my children about responsibility and compassion. They often assist me with simple tasks under my supervision, giving them a sense of community involvement while allowing me to maintain a high standard of care for each pet. This integration of pet care into my daily life isn’t just a responsibility—it’s a passion that aligns perfectly with my desire to make a positive impact on both pets and their owners. Caring for pets in their own homes is a responsibility I take very seriously. I strive to provide a seamless experience that maintains the pet’s usual routine and ensures their comfort and safety in a familiar environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I begin by thoroughly understanding their specific needs, including feeding schedules, exercise preferences, playtime activities, and any medical or behavioral requirements. I ensure that every detail is followed precisely to keep pets happy and stress-free. During each visit, I prioritize interactive care, whether that’s engaging in their favorite games, taking them for walks, or simply providing companionship. For pets requiring additional attention, such as seniors or those with special needs, I bring patience and care to ensure they remain calm and comfortable. I also treat my clients’ homes with the utmost respect. I maintain a clean and organized space, follow any provided instructions, and ensure the home is secure when I leave. My goal is to not only care for the pets but also provide peace of mind to their owners, knowing their furry family members and home are in trusted hands.

“We contacted Giuseppe with very short notice the night before Thanksgiving and took care of our dog the next couple of days while we were on vacation. Very personable and professional. On time, really understood our situation and knew how to handle our dogs reactivity. We know that we left her in good hands the second we met Giuseppe and we will be hiring him for his services in the future!”

About: I grew up with a beloved family dog, and cats, and have two of my own Golden Retrievers now. I have a home in East Forest Park with a fenced in yard where my dogs love to run and chase each other. I'm working on a Canine Good Citizen certification with one of my dogs and look forward to volunteering at hospitals with him eventually. I treat my dogs like my children (because they are!) and will do the same with yours. I have experience raising puppies and caring for 2+ dogs at a time. I work a hybrid schedule between home and the office but can take remote weeks and work completely from home occasionally. I regularly work from home Friday and either Monday or Thursday so boarding over a long weekend would be easy. I have a fenced in yard and two friendly Golden Retrievers. My girl is a talker (barker) but friendly. I have a large comfortable crate in the living room that is available if needed.

About: I currently only do Day Care because I have a Full-Time job. I am availaible for doggy daycare 7 days a week. (All day Mondays & Tuesdays) (10am-7pm, Wednesday-Sundays) as I work overnights those days. I apologize in advance if you come across my profile looking for boarding, or any other service I usually do. I can always work around my FT job schedule if needed. Your pet(s) will always have 100% of my attention, we will go for 30 minute to an hour walk as often as possible. I always let them on my bed and furniture if you allow them to. I can easily crate your pets if needed. I do not drive so I unfortunately cannot pick-up/drop-off your pets. I always walk them on a leash. All pets are allowed on furniture.

“Adam has a great way with Finn. I feel good having him watching Finn while I’m away.”

About: I have had dogs since I was born. I love to take care of any of my family members dogs when needed. I also attended summer camp at a local shelter. I am currently a full time college student, but can walk dogs in the afternoons. Once done with school for the summer I will be available all day. I am more than experienced with walking dogs of all sizes, and putting their safety first. I can take care of your dog in any way needed and always want to do what's most comfortable for them.

About: Dogs have and will always be a huge part of my life. We got our first family dog when I was just 3 years old and the rest is history. My husband Jack is extremely passionate about animals as well and is my partner in all of this so you get two dog sitters for the price of one! Between the two of us your pet will get so much love, cuddles & exercise! I also just want to add that our love for dogs extends to all animals so cats etc are all welcome to come hang with us :) Important Note: if you are reaching out for house sitting my husband and I only take those if we both are allowed to stay the night. We prefer to do this for safety as well as enabling the best care possible for your pet. Your pets will be my top priority & my main focus when they stay with us! I feel pretty confident that they will get more quality time, attention & lovin with me then any other pet sitter! I have a smoke free home and do not have any dogs currently living at my house so your pets will be my only focus! Also a child free home!

“Mayreny was great with Louie! He doesn’t love long walks and she made sure to take him in when he was done and gave him some pets and loving while I was at work. Will be rebooking!”

About: Hello Rover Parents! I have had pets my entire life from turtles, frogs, cats and dogs. In 2007, while in nursing school, I fell in love with the Boxer breed. I love all dogs, but Boxers are my jam. Currently, I have fur fur babies, Brody and Sammie (Boxers) and Tobey and Abby their cat siblings. I’m a very conscientious pet parent. I am very alert to any healthcare issues, and know who to contact. Having, a breed with sensitive tummy’s, I add real food to their meals. So I understand if you have special dietary needs. Believing that dogs should also learn manners, having trained my own dogs, you can count on me to enforce any training. Although, I’m not a certified trainer. As a dog mom myself who has relied on pet sitting, I found it was difficult to find reliable people, who paid attention to detail. As a long term nurse attention to detail is a must. I just moved to the area from Phoenix, Arizona. I went on a road trip with all four animals. An epic experience. I’m in between jobs so free daily. I offer dog walking, sitting, drop ins. Meals, medications, high energy! I’m your gal. Not to mention kisses, cuddles, and play! Just let me know what they need.
