“I booked Charlie after surgery with the plan of him dog walking for a week, twice daily. Turns out, he's been so great with Penny, that she ended up going to doggy daycare a few times and will continue weekly moving forward. He's reliable, Penny loves going to his house, and I'd highly recommend him!”

7. Jaden W.
About: I never had a dog of my own growing up, but I always had a blast watching animals for my family and friends! Taking dogs on walks and simply playing with them is so much fun. I love to be able to bond with pets and really get to know them. I’m not a professional dog trainer, however I’ve attempted to crate train and teach other simple tricks to dogs and was successful. I currently have a regular day to day job however I will work around your schedule and make time to care for your pets when asked ahead! I currently live in a duplex with an unfenced backyard. I am not able to have pets in my home, however I can travel to your home if dog sitting or an overnight stay is needed!

About: I've always had pets. I grew up on a farm in SC, where I was ingrained with love for all animals from an early age. I have 6 cats and a dog currently, so my day consists mostly of caring for animals. I've always tried to surround myself with as many animals as I can care for. Daily grooming and feeding for all my pets. My dog is bathed once a week. Cats are bathed as needed. Daily walks, playing games, and copious amounts of affection have kept my pets and myself in great spirits thru any obstacles.

16. Maya G.
About: I am very patient and kinds towards all animals. For most of my life there has always been a dog in the household. I have experience with smaller dogs to medium sized breeds. I currently have a very loving but stubborn bulldog mix. I’ve help to potty train him as well as for him to understand simple commands. I have helped to take care of many family members dogs some with digestive issues so I understand the importance of each dog getting the proper food for their diet. I am a student and currently work part time at a photography studio so I have a lot of free time throughout the week to help care for your pets and show them extra love. I would care for my clients pet by making sure their pet is feed, playing/keeping them company, being gentle and kind towards them as well as making sure their pet is safe from any hazards.
17. Tina J.
“Tina was a fantastic babysitter/caregiver for my two boys! She had to watch them for several months and she took such good care. They were always well fed/watered. Played with. Even I tried to new friends. She would send me regular photo updates and even sent me through the mail hard photos. Even now my now only one boy still reacts to her voice. I couldn’t ask for a better care giver!”
18. Lydia J.
“Lydia is one of the only people we trust to stay with our dogs when we travel and can't take them along. It is such a relief to know she loves our pups as much as she loves her own. Our 9-year old dog tends to be more nervous and would not do well at a doggie daycare or kennel, so we have to have someone check in on them. We know we can fully trust Lydia to not only check on and take care of our pups, but to be trusted in our house when we are states away from home. She gives us such peace of mind which allows us to truly enjoy our trips without worrying about the dogs.”
19. Keylin C.
“Keylin is very responsible and loving pet caregiver and pet owner. If you see how she treats her pup, you know your pets will be in excellent hands! I would trust her any day with my home and pets!”

One of my pups has severe anxiety and heart disease so i’m no stranger to dealing with challenging pets & problems! I currently work 3 days a week which is great!
