Cambria was accommodating and came to our house for a meet and greet with Spanky, prior to our scheduled walks. She is quick to respond, communicates well. She did a great job with our shy boy. We will book her again for future walks.

Lelia is dependable and a great communicator. I had a hiccup with logistics and timing however she was flexible and accommodating and spent extra time with Spanky. Spanky is a shy boy and will not usually walk out of the house with a stranger, unless he is on leash. He liked Lelia enough to for a walk without being coaxed outside on his leash! I will definitely book Lelia again!

I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. Pets in my care get regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of supervision. I make sure they’re not left alone for long periods and can adjust my routine to fit your pet’s needs. I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment where pets are always supervised. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, and any special care instructions. My home is pet-friendly, and I make sure all animals feel comfortable and secure. I’m attentive to behavior and health, and I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.

About: I have been taking care of dogs for the last 5 years, with a variety of small Shih Tzus and a Golden Retriever for my uncle. I really want to get started in the pet sitting business. Your pets will have 100% of my attention as this is my gap year before law school and I have a lot of free time to help take care of fur babies. I have a fenced in yard so dogs can play safely, and another small Shih Tzu that is friendly around other dogs. I try to walk dogs three times a day, and spend the rest of the time hanging out with them.

About: While I’m new to professional pet sitting, I’ve been a dedicated pet parent for years. Caring for my own pets has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and unconditional love. I understand how much your furry family members mean to you, and I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I give my own. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, walks, or just keeping them company, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away I maintain a consistently open schedule and am always available to provide support, collaborate, or communicate as needed. Reliability and responsiveness are always my priorities. I do have 2 children, a 11 year old and a 7 year old. If requesting house sitting they will need to stay with me. In clients’ homes, I provide personalized, attentive care for animals, ensuring they feel safe and loved in their familiar environment. My routines include feeding according to dietary needs, administering medications if required, refreshing water bowls regularly, and maintaining a clean living space. I also offer enrichment through playtime, walks, and gentle companionship tailored to each pet’s temperament. I monitor behavior and health closely, communicating any concerns to the owner promptly. My goal is to create a stress-free experience for both pets and their people.

About: I’ve been caring for pets for about 10 years, providing consistent, attentive care for dogs of different sizes and personalities. My experience includes daily walks, playtime, feeding routines, administering oral medications, light grooming such as brushing, and, most importantly, giving plenty of love and attention. I understand how important it is to maintain a pet’s normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable. I’m patient, observant, and attentive to each dog’s individual needs, whether that’s extra exercise, gentle care, or simply companionship. I am currently working 5 days a week, and will be available on my days off. I miss dog sitting/dog walking as a hobby and would love to start doing it again. I have 3 cats and 2 dogs at my house, so I prefer to take care of the pets at the owners home. I would care for them by playing, taking them outside as needed, staying on a feeding schedule and possibly bathing if the owners request !

About: Recently retired professional. I’ve provided a warm & loving home my entire life for our many pets - lap dogs and hunting dogs alike. When you are away, you don’t want to worry about your fur babies. I know all too well the pain of losing a pet in the hands of an inexperienced or irresponsible care taker. I’m dependable, caring and trust worthy. I offer peace of mind for you and in return a few extra bucks for me to supplement retirement. Safe/Secure pet care and house sitting. My schedule is flexible; especially with advance notice. Whether it’s walks and potty breaks or overnight sitting I can usually accommodate any schedule, including the holidays. Although typically we will not board at our home, on occasion we’ll make exceptions depending on the breed and temperament. We have two Shih Tzu’s that are extremely playful and nice with other pets. In your home, I will take care of your pets as you would.

About: (Just to clarify that headline is from Frozen.) I'm a former dog owner and I loved my elderly dog till she passed. I've also pet sat for multiple families over the last five years. I'm familiar with high anxiety dogs, dogs with diet restrictions, I've house sat for multiple dogs and cats. I also recently helped feed and home a stray mama cat and her kittens over the summer. I approach with calm, confidence and joy. Its important to me that when I first meet an animal, the critter feels safe to approach me in their own time. Some animals can be anxious so I try not to be over stimulating. I'm a care provider to a cherished family member, so I have flexibility through out the week to care for animals when I'm not with that person. My dog of ten years that passed had a special diet for a sensitive stomache, I had to wash her bedding more often. Even though she was a small breed I still took her on walks. As she entered her golden years I frequently took care of accidents, put her in diapers, took her to the doctors for her stomach and her anxiety. Gave her medicine to ease her ailments. I do the same for the animals in my care, make sure they are loved and cared for the way their per parents outline for me. Down to walks, play time and special food requirements. Our fur buddies deserve care for the unconditional love they give us.
