About: I truly understand that trusting someone with your dog means trusting them with a member of your family. I'm attentive, patient, and comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. My famous hat that I love to wear reads, "easily distracted by dogs". One thing that is especially important to me is respecting every pet parents' wishes. Your rules are my rules. Whether that means specific walking routines, leash requirements, feeding instructions, avoiding certain dog areas, crate routines, or simply knowing your pups' little quirks. I'll never assume I know your dog better than you do. Safety is something I take very seriously, especially on walks and outside of the home. I stay aware of my surroundings, keep dogs securely leashed, and follow the boundaries you've put in place. Beyond keeping them safe, I want your pup to feel loved, comfortable, and genuinely excited to see me again. I have a pretty flexible schedule which allows me to easily make pet care a natural part of my day. I'm available throughout the week and can customize my schedule around your pet's normal routine whenever possible. Whether that means morning walks, midday check-ins, evening visits, or a little extra time for play and cuddles, I'm happy to work with what keeps your pet happiest and most comfortable. Consistency is important, so I'll always do my best to keep their day feeling just like it does when you're home. Your pet's safety and comfort will always come first. I provide care in your pet's own home and neighborhood, where they can stay comfortable in the environment and routine they already know. I believe you know your pet best, so I'll carefully follow your instructions regarding walks, feeding, routines, boundaries, and any special do's and don'ts. During walks, I stay attentive to our surroundings and keep your dog safely secured and supervised. For drop-ins and overnight stays, I'll respect both your pet and your home while keeping their routine as familiar and consistent as possible. Most importantly, I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pet is safe, loved, and being cared for exactly as you've requested. With plenty of pictures and updates along the way.

About: I do in kennel enrichment and dog walking at the SPCA. It has educated me a lot about positive reinforcement training, desensitization, compassion, and counter conditioning within dog behavior. I am very understanding of every dog's different temperaments and boundaries. I am the proud owner of Max, an 11 year old Pitbull who has been my best friend for over a decade. I am available anytime after 12pm, where your dog’s established routine becomes my priority. Whether they need strict mid-day feeding times or frequent potty breaks throughout the afternoon, I will be there for your pet. I am able to offer consistent, focused attention, structured enrichment, and companionship exactly when your pet needs it most. Safety is my top priority, with SPCA volunteer training and 11 years with my senior Pitbull, Max. In your home, I strictly follow your routine, maintain your house rules, and ensure all doors and gates stay locked and secure. On walks, my shelter experience means I am hyper-aware of our surroundings, good at reading dog body language, and fully confident being your dog's handler. I will send you regular photo updates so you have total peace of mind.

“Great communication with us and sending pictures. We were at ease knowing my babies were taken care of. My hyper anxiety dog took right to her so did my unsocial cat. That says a lot.”

“We had Brina stay with our pups for four days and she really bonded with them in that short time. She has maturity and is very responsible, paying attention to the details and our pups were very happy and quite calm upon our return. She has a gentle and mellow personality which mirrors that of our little cavaliers. Brina took great care of our babies as well as our home in our absence. We are quite pleased with Brina and we look forward to having her stay in our home for a longer, extended time. Thank you Brina.”

“We apprecuated that Katherynn kept us updated on our pets while we were away through texts and photos and kept the house neat.”

About: Welcome to my profile, my name is CeCe, I am a fellow fur baby mama and overall animal lover! 🫶🏽 I have a passion for love and deep care of all living beans 🫘 If you choose me as your pet sitter/walker I offer my utmost care and genuine devotion to your pet. I understand how scary and how unknown having a stranger come over and all the uncertainty that all comes with. With me, I prioritize communication, clarity and honesty. Book a call or video chat with me before we set anything in stone to get to know me and for me to get to know you and your pet, no pressure, just openness and trust 😺🐈‍⬛🐩🐕 Instead of me putting in what exactly fits into my daily or weekly routine here, I am an open communicator and I prioritize a two-way communication line. Book a call or a video chat with me and we will both come to an agreement that we both feel comfortable with and form the best care for your fur baby as well as my comfort. I offer my services in my clients home or if it's just for the day walking around the neighborhood. I have experience as a home cleaner, so I do have great attention to detail and will be able to clean up and organize as needed during and post pet sitting. I will be sending pictures videos and updates periodically so that you feel comfortable and in the loop as much as possible, trust me I know how that feels 🫶🏽🐕🐈‍⬛

About: I've grown up around cats and dogs my whole life, so I am very used to being around them. I love dogs but I do feel I have a close affinity with cats more. Either way they are both great to love on. I'm currently working from home right now so I have plenty of time to spend with the fur kids. I'm currently available whenever needed as long as its reasonable, and of course schedules will change the more work I take on. We have a big fenced backyard for any animals to run around it. And a dog a 2 cats that are totally fine around others. Especially the dog who would love any new friend.

“Claudia was outstanding. She handled my very lively puppy so well & gave me some great advice about him. It was so great to know he was in such great hands.”

About: ​Hi, I'm Kristina and I've been a veterinarian technician for 5 years! I treat every pet in my care with the same patience, affection, and devotion I give my own dog, Echo. I specialize in customized care tailored to your pet's unique personality—from energetic playtime and structured walks to gentle belly rubs and quiet companionship. I love keeping owners updated with frequent photo updates and detailed check-ins so you never have to worry while you're away. To ensure the safety and well-being of your pet, I require the assistance of a second person for administering injections or difficult medications if the animal becomes highly uncooperative. This helps keep stress low and procedures safe for everyone. I'm currently looking to sit for your fur babies part time while I'm out navigating a new work schedule for the time being Routine & Comfort: Keeps pets stress-free in their familiar environment by sticking strictly to their normal feeding, walking, and sleep schedules. ​Health & Safety: Precise administration of medications, daily litter/yard cleanup, secure handling, and close monitoring for any behavioral changes.

About: Aside from having cared for my toy poodle for 12 years until he passed, I’ve also cared for pets for friends and family either during the day or entire vacation. Followed owners’ instructions and gave needed updates on pets’ wellbeing. I’m currently a full time student at community college Monday through Thursday, so while I am capable of being home in between classes, your pets will be able to have my full attention and care Friday through Sunday nights. I have a two story house with a fenced yard for your pets to play. I will abide by whatever instructions required to care for your babies, crate and frequently give potty breaks and walks. Aside from that, I would love to allow them to wander around and lay on the couch.

“Maya watched our dog and two kitties for a week and took good care of them. She also kept an eye on our backyard koi pond when there was a storm with high winds and rain.”

“Wendy and AJ are the best! We’re so lucky to have had AJ watch over our dogs. We exchanged numbers so it was easy to communicate with AJ while he stayed at the house. We had some power outages due to the storm during his stay and he was helpful in make sure things were ok. They sent multiple pics and even feedback for how to make their next visit better for the dogs. I really appreciate the care they put into watching our dogs and home. I definitely recommend Wendy & AJ and will book them again in the future!”

About: It is important to me that our furry family members are taken care of and receive the care they deserve. I am extremely detail-oriented and strive to make sure I care for your family just as well as you do. I currently work a consistent part-time schedule along with attending online college so there should be little to no time conflicts. I keep a planner so I have a clear idea of what my schedule looks like. I have experience with giving medication to pets of different temperaments along with handling cases of food aggression. I ask owners to provide detailed lists of what is needed as well as actions I could take in case things go awry. I usually make the effort to contact owners with updates on pets and with questions when necessary.

About: I've been housesitting since 2010, mainly cats and dogs. Multi-pet houses don't bother me and I'm good at keeping with your fur kids' schedules. I have and RVT license that is current and have been an RVT for over 10 years. I took a break from housesitting to work at animal hospitals, including a 24-hour critical care hospital in the ICU. Medications and medical treatments are no problem for me. I have an open schedule and am comfortable with either staying at your home for your pet's comfort, or I can visit everyday to make sure they are cared for. I adjust to their wants and needs and stick to their schedule. I'm low stress and understand that sometimes pets just need to warm up to you. As for my personal pets, there's four cats with totally different personalities that run the house (I just live there).

“We selected Ashley on short notice and she was awesome as both a dog and house sitter! Sent regular updates and pics of our dog. Was extremely flexible and stayed past our agreed upon end time due to an unexpected delay in our travel. Feel very comfortable with her as both a pet and house sitter. Will definitely use again.”

Michael C.

“I reached out to Pedro as our dog has some leash aggression issues and needs an experienced hand on his walks. Our dog immediately warmed up to Pedro and left us comfortable going away on a vacation. Pedro was great with our dog and sent updates with each walk as well as some great photos of our dog. We get pretty nervous when leaving our dog as he takes some work but Pedro made us feel comfortable the whole time that our boy was being properly taken care of. 10/10 will use again, and so should you!”

“Rosemarie came to visit us and meet Lulu before the dog sitting date, which was very nice as they got acquainted with each other. On Thanksgiving Day Rosemarie arrived early and begin bonding with Lulu right away. We weee gone for a long time. Rosemarie fed and walked with Lulu. She sent us photos and even spent time cuddling with Lulu. We would definitely recommend Rosemarie and have no reservations about using her in the future as well as recommending to others. Thank you, Rosemarie!”

“Gabriela played with my pups and they had a great time. She walked them and they went to the park. I haven’t been able to do that for quite a while. She is a superhero. We had a great conversation about tropical fish and I learned a lot about pets from her. I’ll be requesting Gabriela again.”
