About: Here is $20 off your first booking!!! KYLIU82403 I have two dogs of my own and am looking forward to taking care of your best friend!! I have a fully fenced in yard with a dog pool and what feels like a million toys! I have had dogs and cats my whole life and really enjoy taking care of them. I will keep in contact with daily pictures and good communication. I am on a set schedule for work but also work 10 minutes from home and can go home if needed. There is a dog park in my community and I also have a backyard! Like I mentioned I have two of my own dogs so your dog will be treated like my own! I do not plan anything without the dogs in mind. I have two friendly dogs and one friendly cat at my house and there is a lot of playing happening 24/7. I check on them often throughout the day!
“Sia was wonderful! Our pup is a little shy at first, and Sia was so patient and warm while Apple warmed up to her. She gave detailed explanation of what they did together, and took many pictures to show our sweet happy pup in her care! I am so glad to have found Sia, and I will definitely be using her again!”
“We had Kylee come check on our dogs while we were at the beach for 6 days. We were nervous to leave our dogs since we had never left them with a sitter for more than 1 day. Kylee was INCREDIBLE and kept us updated on how they were doing and made sure they felt loved while we were on vacation! We’ll definitely be using her again! ❤️”
“April was amazing. Very professional. Took care of any changes we had immediately. Our Animal kingdom loved her, and she loved taking care of them. She was always on time for her drop-ins and she checked in and checked out perfectly. She let us know of any issues, a and took care of them immediately. Such a pleasure knowing that we could relax knowing our pets would be well cared for. We were able to concentrate on our family. We will most definitely book with her again.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong experience with animals and my genuine passion for their care. Growing up, I was surrounded by both cats and dogs, which taught me the importance of understanding each pet's unique personality and needs. Over the years, I’ve also had the opportunity to dog-sit for family and friends, caring for pets of various breeds, ages, and temperaments. This hands-on experience has given me valuable skills, such as managing energetic puppies, providing extra attention to senior pets, and ensuring all pets feel loved and secure. I treat every animal as if they were my own, and I’m committed to creating a safe and nurturing environment for them. I recently graduated from college and am currently awaiting my diploma to begin my career. In the meantime, I have the flexibility to dedicate my time to caring for pets daily, ensuring they receive the attention and care they need. When caring for pets in my home, I prioritize creating a safe, clean, and comfortable environment tailored to their specific needs. I ensure they have a designated space for rest, provide access to fresh water, and follow their feeding schedules precisely. I also supervise playtime to keep them active and engaged while ensuring their safety.
“Mikayla did a wonderful job walking our three Boxer dogs, Frankie, Xena and Ducky. Two out of 3 of our dogs can be a handful at times. But she did a great job! Thank you!!”
“Yan is an amazing cat sitter! I was really worried my about leaving my cat for two weeks but Yan kept me updated and made sure my baby was well cared for and had enough playtime! It was great to see the photos and read the personal updates for each visit. 10/10 Recommend booking with Yan!!!”

I love pets and have a flexible schedule. I am available at all times through the week and weekend. My dog is my absolute world. I care deeply for all animals and their well being.

“Gabriela was great. She stayed with our dogs and took them for a walk. Our house was nice and clean when we came back. She stayed in contact with us the entire time and took lots of pictures of our puppies when we were away. I will definitely book her again.”
“Would book Natalie again. She was professional and Moses Kitty was well taken care of. Natalie went out of her way to do extra little things like tidying up; great about communicating and sending pics. This was Moses first time being alone for an extended period but Natalie made sure that he was well taken care of.”
“I haven’t used this service before and I was extremely nervous since I have an anxious dog but Alison knew exactly how to make him feel comfortable.”
About: I have had at least one dog my entire life, so over 20 years. I have experience with puppies who were just born, all the way to a pup who is 17 years old - almost as old as me! I have owned multiple dogs at a time, trained my own puppies, and have even had farm animals (cows, pigs, goats, chickens, you name it!) My family and friends have relied on me to care for their pups for years, and I have experience with over 20 breeds including (Shih Tzus, Yorkshire Terriers, Chihuahuas, English Bulldogs, Great Pyrenees, German Shepherds, Mountain Curs, Golden Doodles, Golden Retrievers, Doberman Pinchers, and many more!) I am a 23 year old newly married, dog loving girl! I have a 5 year old English bulldog of my own and her and I are the best buddies! I can assure you, your pup will be just as loved as if it was my own. I absolutely love walking dogs and taking them to the dog park (two of my faves) or simply just playing in the yard. Prior to taking care of your pup, I love for them to get familiar with me, so I will take the on a walk or play with them first. I do not offer overnight services in my personal home, but will visit your home so that your sweet pup (or cat!) feels safe and very familiar with its surroundings. I have found that relocating your pup to a place they have never been can make them very nervous, therefore I simply visit your home where your pup is at the times that you typically feed/water, and take out your pup on a normal basis!
About: Hi my name is Rachelle! I’ve walked and watched most dogs since I was seventeen my love for dogs and animals are my passion. I’ve had animals such as goats, dogs, ducks you name it since I was little! I can’t wait to meet you and your fur babies! I have a year and a half German shepherd who has very high energy so we spend most of our time in the yard playing fetch and going on walks My German shepherd requires a lot of walks and running through out the day it makes for a very fun day especially to see her so happy! I make sure everything is ok while I am walking them, make sure I have plenty of water with me and it’s not too hot for them
“Absolute lifesaver! She is so amazing!”
About: I've breed chihuahuas an I've also rescued newborn kittens an bottle fed them. Also any animal that I find or see I feed an try to care for them. Pet care is my life an I take care of my furbabies all day. I love to rescue or help any animal in need. ❤️ I treat them like my babies or furry children. I will feed an walk or entertain any animals purposes. Safe an loved at all times.
About: As a Dog Parent, former SPCA Volunteer, and someone who has spent a lot of time away from home, I know how important it is to have someone that you can actually trust with not only your pets but your home too! As a former close protection agent to some of our nations top Diplomats around the world, allow me to be the one that cares for and protects your greatest assets; Your Animals. Need someone that you can trust to get your best friends to their vet appointments? I’ve got a truck set up that allows your friend to ride in luxury with great A/C and plenty of space for them to stretch out. Need someone you can trust to take your dog on the type of walk they need and deserve? Pick me instead of someone that’s going to do the bare minimum because they just want to make a quick buck. Need someone that’s going to give your elderly or sick dog the type of attention they need? Pick the guy whose hands occasionally smell like dog food from hand feeding his own dog due to her current condition. The bottom line is: I Care and You Can Trust Me. Thanks in advance for your trust Let me know what works for you and I can likely make accommodations. For your dogs sake, with the summer heat upon us, I prefer to do walks during the cooler part of the day but am happy to take them to a shady park if that is not suitable to your needs. I have a big fenced in backyard with a pool that your dog is welcome to play in and plenty of yard space for them to run around. Extra measures can be taken for nervous parents whose dogs who are escape artists; such as fitting them with a GPS collar during their stay. Would prefer that your dog was friendly with other dogs as I have two elderly dogs of my own who are kind and playful.

17. Shelisha F.
“Shelisha is a caring and compassionate person towards people and pets. She has this ability to connect with animals that is truly amazing and endearing. They seem to establish a connection with her almost instantly. I think it has to do with how sensitive towards her and the animal's emotions she is and animals are able to pick up on that. Shelisha has been a great care giver to many pets in the past and will continue to deliver this with a positive frame of mind.”
