“Jessica is marvelous! My dog EllieBean takes a while to warm up to new people. Jessica took her time over several visits to gain EB's trust. She was patient and professional, even when the weather and EB were a challenge. They have now become great friends. In addition, Jessica is a pleasure to work with and always shows up on time. I'm so grateful to have found Jessica!”

About: I’m sure all sitters say this but I genuinely have a seat for being with animals. Sometimes I prefer them over people and treat them like they’re my own. I love all of their personalities and quirks. Anywhere I go I ask to pet someone’s dog and respect what the dog’s body language is telling me. I have a Siberian husky so I have had to learn how to read body language and potential environmental stressors very well. I invest a generous amount of time into learning about dog breeds and am always opening to learning more! Currently, I am home for the holidays with plenty of time to care for your pets while you’re away! I have access to a car and am eager to work. Extensive experience with dogs, slightly less with cats but always open to caring! I love giving them constant stimulation and walks. Pets and treats are always given. I treat all dogs like they’re my own. I have an eye on them almost at all times.

About: I have been taking care of dogs my whole life. Growing up, we had a Doberman-Rottweiler mix, and then a Pitbull in the house. I trained our dogs to be well-behaved and do tricks! I am great at dealing with both high and low energy dogs. I am patient and a great playmate for your fur babies! My schedule is wide open and flexible. I'm currently taking a break from full-time work to focus on freelancing and side projects, so I have plenty of time to care for your fur family! I stick closely to your pet's usual routines, making sure they feel comfortable while their parent is away. I offer a calm presence and make sure they get proper companionship and exercise.

About: My name is Kimberly and I'm an empathetic animal lover who enjoys a weekend of hanging out with animals more than humans. I grew up with a house full of pets (cats, dogs, ferrets, birds) and have over 11 years of experience as a dog walker and pet sitter for all kinds of critters and pets. I know how much you'll be missing your pet as they are your family, so I love to provide photos with anecdotes of our day. You'll never doubt how much love they'll be getting when they're in my hands. I have experience with large and small breeds, as well pets who need extra love and care. My gentle nature makes me perfect for anxious pets and my extreme attention to detail makes you feel confident that they are getting the best, most loving care. My 18 year old Toy Fox Terrier, is my world, so I understand how important it is to find the right sitter. My dog is a senior dog with social needs, so I have plenty of experience accommodating to your pets' needs. My quiet nature and patience is quickly detected by all furbabies. What's the best way your pet will feel comforted when you're gone - I'll go ahead and do just that! Your pet will be pampered! I work freelance, so my schedule is very flexible, and I can work around your schedule and needs to make sure your pet is getting the best care possible. At your home, you can rest assured that every instruction will followed closely and perfectly. I also have extreme respect for being inside others homes. I grew up helping my mom cleaning houses, and it's been ingrained in me to always respect the home and space you are in. I always provide a peace of mind with any pet parent gone, either leaving town for a few days or just a visit for one afternoon. Your pets will be treated with the best care, and I understand that everyone has their own unique way of caring for their pet. I want to respect your wishes and make your furbaby happy 😊

About: Hi my name is Yesenia! A dog Mom to 1 spoiled 13 year old Frenchie. I have always loved taking care of and learning about animals small or big hooved or four legged paw friends. I have been sitting dogs since 10 when I was a child for neighbors and friends, and have owned from various breeds. Ive feed, bathed, and walked dogs and sometimes trimmed nails. I WFH full time with mutilple breaks through out the day. I go for walks early in the morning or late after work to reset and break away from my home office. I have a fenced in yard where I am able to let them loose and play under supervised care. We played fetch or can walk them to our dog park in the area. I work from home so am able to care and provide belly rubs during lunch , breaks and in between. As well as early morning/dinner walks. I have a fenced yard/ security system. Can also crate your dog if needed. However the dog will always be supervised. If not able to crate I can provide a different space in the house

About: I am very active and can provide any type of exercise that your pet needs. I am also very meticulous so if your pet has a diet they need to stick to I’ll make sure it’s met. I would also be happy to follow the needs of your pups whether that be administering medication or carrying them up and down the stairs! I am so thankful to be in college and as a student I am currently fully remote which means I’ll have 100% of my attention to give to your pet! I have 2 dogs that are very friendly when meeting new pups but I introduce them slowly to make sure that the environment is relaxed. But in some cases where pups have food aggression or possessiveness over toys I make sure to keep them apart and bring them out once the food/toys are put away.

About: I have over eleven years of pet care experience and two years working professionally at a dog daycare. I am confident with dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I have experience with puppies who need structure and basic training, as well as senior dogs who require patience, gentle handling, and medication routines. I focus on safety, consistency, and building trust with every dog, treating each one as if they were my own. I am currently not working, which allows me to give your dog my full attention throughout the day. Your pet will never be left unattended. I am available seven days a week, from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm, and I structure my entire routine around the needs, safety, and comfort of the dogs in my care. I treat every dog like they are part of my own family. We go on walks, play together, and spend time doing things that make them happy and relaxed. I love taking dogs on little car rides when needed, whether it is for grooming, a vet visit, or a quick Petco stop. I always pay close attention to how much they eat and drink to make sure they are healthy. I have experience caring for sick dogs and I am comfortable following special care routines. I also keep their space clean by washing blankets, toys, bowls, and cages regularly so they always feel safe and comfortable in my care.
