Dog Sitting in Galloway

“My cat was shy at first, but Mike seemed to have gotten her out of her shell right away on his first check in visit! She was happy and healthy when I returned after my trip of almost 2 weeks. Thanks :)”

About: Hi, I’m a 25-year-old animal science grad with a lifelong love for furry friends. I’ve cared for cats and dogs of all kinds, worked at a doggy daycare, trained service dogs, and now spend my days hanging out with my own four-year-old yellow Labrador, Juniper. She’s goofy, gentle, and thinks every walk is a red carpet event. I am trained at subcutaneous injections, oral administration, and topical application of medications for both cats and dogs. I have experience with all ages of dogs and cats and exotic species and am happy to provide specialty care. I’ve always been the friend who gets asked to pet sit, and I treat every animal like they’re part of my own little pack. Whether your pup loves playtime, your cat needs chin scratches on demand, or your senior dog just wants a calm cuddle buddy, I’m here for it all. Pets are family, and I’m all about giving them the love, attention, and belly rubs they deserve. Juniper approves this message. Right now I am in the process of finding full time employment, and pet sitting lets me stay active, connected, and surrounded by animals while I explore my next career move. My schedule is very flexible- happy to work early mornings or late nights as needed. I have a large kennel that can travel with me or that can be used in my home. In addition, I have a variety of toys, puzzles, and treats to choose from and have a 24/7 supply of water available at all times. Additionally, my home is guarded with a Ring camera system that I check periodically.

“Justin was everything we were looking for to help us last minute. He was very accommodating, punctual, and had consistent communication. He took time to go over everything for our dog Kona and followed directions perfectly. I would highly recommend Justin and we will definitely be booking him again in the future!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my years of hands-on experience caring for pets in a home setting. I've been pet-sitting since high school, providing not just daily walks and care, but also overnight stays and home care, ensuring both pets and their homes are well looked after. I’m experienced in caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies who need extra playtime to senior dogs who require gentle care and patience. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I make sure to follow their schedule closely—whether it’s feeding, administering medications, or just giving them extra love and attention while their owners are away. Beyond pet care, I also respect and maintain the home by keeping it clean and secure, so clients can travel with peace of mind. I provide regular updates with photos and messages, so pet parents always feel connected. My goal is to ensure that your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for in your absence, and that you return to a happy, stress-free home! Now that I’ve graduated, I have a more flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time and energy to provide reliable, attentive pet care. I’m able to accommodate a wide range of needs, from midday check-ins to extended overnight stays. I follow your pet's usual schedule, including feeding, walks, playtime, and bedtime to minimize stress while you're away. I make sure your dog gets the right amount of exercise, whether that's a daily long walk or a short potty break. I spend quality time with your pet, giving them affection, playtime, and attention to prevent loneliness. For home care, I keep the house tidy, bring in mail, water plants, and ensure everything stays secure while you're away. I send daily updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and cared for.

About: Growing up on a farm means I have an abundance of experience with animals of all shapes and sizes. This experience has only grown thanks to the 1000+ hours spent caring for a great variety of animals thanks to my preparation for and training in veterinary school. I have worked in several veterinary clinics, a couple of shelter settings, and a commercial aviary. This means I am incredibly comfortable caring for all kinds of pets of any age, as well administering medications and keeping up with unique needs. Much of my love for veterinary medicine comes from the opportunity to bond with people and their pets, and providing pet care is another amazing chance to do just that. I would love to serve you and your four-legged family! Being a student allows for a very flexible schedule, perfect for attentive and personalized pet care! Much of my course work can be done online, so I am often free to hang out with your furry friends while I study throughout the day. I try to build my schedule where I don't need to leave pets alone longer than 6 hours maximum, and I am willing to adjust according to your pet's needs. I take great care to keep your pet's routine as similar as possible to their normal to minimize stress. I love to schedule a meet & greet beforehand to get to know you and your pet, and get to know all the details of their routine. I know what questions to ask to make the process as enjoyable and stress free as possible. I also know how nice it is to come back to a clean home. Therefore, when staying in a client's home I take great care to leave everything exactly as it was or better. That way you can relax knowing your pets are well taken care of, and you have nothing to worry about when you return.

“I can’t say enough good things about Ericka! She is among the most caring, educated, and thorough sitters I know. Her ability to understand pet body language is remarkable — she notices even the most minor details and knows precisely what a pet needs to feel safe and happy. Ericka is incredibly consistent and reliable, and I’ve never once had to worry when she’s looking after my dog. She treats every animal as if they were her own, and her calm, attentive nature has made her the only person I fully trust to care for my pup. If you’re looking for someone knowledgeable and compassionate, I can promise you that Ericka is the best.”

“April did an amazing job! Took fantastic care of our pups and documented everything very well so we could know exactly how everything went! I will definitely be using her from now on!”

“Rebecca is WONDERFUL! She took care of our two cats while we were traveling recently and she really put our minds at ease. She stopped by to meet the cats before our trip so I could go through all the things with her. I highly recommend her and will be using her again in the future. Thank you, Rebecca!”

About: My family has relied on me to take care of the animals and strays I take care of. I love providing hospitality to those who don’t have anywhere else to go. I could never turn away a stray, and love taking care of animals of all breeds, but I can say I am a cat lover at heart. I am currently working on being a student and wanted to find a way to include my passion of animals into my schedule, and am available to take care of your babies day and night! I would normally stay at a clients home as my living situation doesn’t provide a fenced in yard or a huge play space, however I have been in a situation where that is available, and I get used to certain accommodations quickly.

About: I’ve taken care of all sorts of animals since I could remember. Been around Great Danes to yorkies and love them all. I also have a cat and dog of my own both I’ve rescue and adore. I’ve also trained my dog, I’ve had her going on 3 years now. I train with positive attitude and treats. I was relied on by family and friends to watch, walk and feed their pets. Occasionally would do some basic training to help keep up and of course cuddles. I currently work full time but it’s from 7-2pm about 4 days a week. I will have time after work and on my off days to spend the rest of the day caring for pets. My pets are friendly with other animals, my dog gets excited when she gets to meet new friends and then goes about her business. I also have a crate for my dog if anything. I try to give the visiting pup a chance to sniff around first and get warmed up before I let my dog meet her. Allows both dogs to calm down and be relax by then.

About: I’m very outgoing and positive I love learning and exploring new things I have had pets in the past including old family members and close friends I am very active I love going out and enjoying nature and going on walks to the park and a little extra work is always good for me By giving them as much attention as I possibly can and taking them outside on walks or playing with them or teaching some tricks to keep them occupied

About: My family was lucky enough to have dogs while growing up, as such we learned to care for them while growing up. After we grew into adults, each family continue to have dogs for their own for their family. Hope to extend that caring to pets I'll meet. Presently, I'll be aiming for late noon to early evening bookings on weekdays & more availability on weekends & most holidays except for Thanksgiving & Christmas. In my view, pets are part of the family member. Number one concern of course is their safeness. Their happiness & well being secondly. Full attention will be given for both.

About: I have always been around animals my entire life! And I also have a fur baby of my own so I know how difficult it can be which made me want to help out other people! I don’t have a job so I am always free since I am a college student and have all the time on my hands and what better way to spend it then with animals! My dog is like my child which I know that how it is for a lot of people which is why I will always care for your animal like mine!

“Densy did a fantastic job! I have two big dogs, and one can be really active to say the least! She handled them like a pro! I would recommend her services 100% Thank you Densy!”

About: I grew up with both cats and dogs as well as living with both in my adult years. I do also have experience pet/house sitting in the past. I currently do not have a pet at the moment as my cat passed about a year ago. I am looking forward to be able to meet and get to play with cats and dogs! I do work full-time during the week but am available on the weekends for house-sitting, drop-in visits, or dog walking. I will open up availability for walking or drop-in visits during the evenings throughout the week. I will be able to watch your pets in your home as well as do drop-in visits in your home. This will include doing walks or playing.

About: As a vet student at Ohio State I believe I can provide quality care for all pets. I have a dog and cat of my own as well as have experience with pets from birth until senior age. Willing to communicate about needs to be as accommodating as possible. I have most weekends free during the summer besides a few weeks for vacations. When not on my vet job shadows I will be home during the evening for play times, walks, and potty breaks. When not doing job shadows I intend to be home during the whole day for more frequent interactions and opportunities for more potty breaks. While I do not have a fenced in yard, there is a large open field across the street in which I can walk your dogs at as well as use my long leads to allow for more distant frolicking (up to 50 feet allowed). My dog is crate trained and is able to be left alone for many hours at a time if needed. I do have a cat but she can be put in a separate room if necessary for certain pets. If in a clients home I will respect whatever boundaries are needed to keep the pet as well as myself safe. I am not against safe crating if that is what makes the pet happy and safe.

About: I learned the value and responsibility of owning a pet at a young age and have cared for dogs and cats for most of my adult life. I've also had experience volunteering in an animal shelter in Da Nang, Vietnam called Paws for Compassion. I worked as a pet photographer for that shelter for over a year & had to handle dogs and cats of all sizes & breeds. I understand how difficult it can be to provide care for an animal with a busy lifestyle. As a pet sitter or dog walker, I promise to care for your pet as though they were my own. Currently, I'm a freelance graphic designer so my schedule is pretty flexible! I should be able to help out almost any time of day and can work anywhere there is wifi in case you need me to be present for a long period of time. If you require pet sitting services, I prefer to meet with you prior to booking the care so that I can get acquainted with you and your pet, learn any relevant details of your trip, and learn about your pet's needs. I am happy to send pictures and updates while you are gone. I look forward to receiving your requests and getting to know your furry friend!

“Amanda did great letting my new puppy out for his drop in visit. She took the time to love on him and send me a photo while she was there. Thank you Amanda !!!”
