About: I grew up on a small farm with chickens, goats and dogs. I've taken care of my familys animals and sat for neighbors. I had a job feeding and caring for horses and was a trail guide for a little while. I drive for Uber so I pretty much make my own schedule. I'm pretty easy going. I'm used to taking gigs as they come so last minute stuff isn't too big of a deal. Very flexible. I focus on creating a safe, loving, and stress-free environment. I follow each pet’s routine including feeding, walks, medication, and playtime. I always make sure to communicate clearly with pet parents and respect their preferences. Cleanliness, safety, and comfort are my priorities, and I treat every pet as if they were my own—with patience, kindness, and attention to detail.

About: Dogs have been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember! I've grown up with a Golden Retriever, a Swiss Mountain Dog, and now have a Mini Dachshund! i live a very active lifestyle and love spending time outdoors. If your dog enjoys long walks, exploring, and getting plenty of exercise, we'll get along great! And if they're more of a couch potato who just wants some extra love and attention I'm all for that too! I understand how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else's care. My goal is to make you feel completely comfortable knowing your dog is safe, happy, and getting all the love and attention they deserve. I'll treat your dog like my own and make sure you receive plenty of photos and updates along the way! My schedule is flexible, which allows me to accommodate you and your dog’s needs! I live an active lifestyle and love spending time outdoors, so daily walks and playtime fit naturally into my routine. Whether your pup needs a quick check-in, a long walk, or some extra attention while you’re away, I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that works best for everyone! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to understand each pet’s normal routine, personality, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions you provide. I’m attentive on walks, respectful of your home, and will never put your pet in an unfamiliar or unsafe situation. I’ll treat your pet like my own little Finley and keep you updated with plenty of photos and communication so you can feel completely comfortable while you’re away.

About: For the last 5 years, I’ve been the go-to dog sitter for my friends at work! I usually stay in their homes while they’re away or I provide pop-ins to check in on the animals and feed, medicate, and give potty breaks on top of nice neighborhood walks and trips to the park! Just moved here from Ohio & don’t start my job til next month. Looking to fill the time up until then! This means my schedule is pretty much 100% open besides a few priorities I’ve got scheduled & I’d be happy to work with you on what works best for your pets! I’ve got 3 cats of my own so definitely a pro when it comes to caring for them. I’ve also cared for a huge variety of different breeds of dogs and of all ages! I’ve always been an animal lover & wish I could have 100 of them. I think they’re an important part of life 😊

About: I volunteer at my local St Pete animal shelter where I walk dogs, groom cats, and provide any help they need! I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and currently own two cats I have vet med experience where I’ve shadowed multiple vet surgeries! Comfortable for all standard cat related tasks like cleaning litter boxes, checking for/cleaning hairballs is usually a must and who can forget to get some play time in as well! They may be spoiled with treats as well. I work hybrid Monday through Friday, my schedule is flexible. I do not travel for the holidays typically. I can make myself available when it fits or needs the best. I do not let my cats go outside and I make sure to always keep dogs on their leash and constantly scan the area for safety

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, my mom has 3! I am now in college so I can’t have a full time dog of my own but would love to help and get my fix of being around furry friends! I have fostered dogs for the Humane Society of West Michigan and also did my internship with them! I have also watched various of my friends dogs before. I’m currently working part time as a server so I will have time for your pets! My schedule is a little wonky and not completely fixed but I will be able to go to your home to take care of your animal in between shifts and can stay there with them. I can come to your home and take your fur baby on plenty of walks, walking is one of my favorite things to do! I can also just come let your dog out, play with them, keep them company, and feed them! Whatever you need I can do.

About: Hello! My name is Susan and I grew up with both small (mini-dachshund, maltese, Lhasa apso, mini-schnauzer) and large (German shepherd, labs) breeds. I am in my late-30s and am saving up to upgrade my home, doing something I love doing! I currently have one active vizsla (Kibo) and know how much active pups enjoy a walk or a trip to the dog park. Even lower-energy dogs enjoy a walk, if not for exercise then for the sights and sounds and smells! I generally walk briskly, bring plenty of water, and keep (my) dogs on track (no eating anything off the ground, etc) and on task (no socializing with any other dogs unless I have walked the dog before and BOTH the owner and I an comfortable). I also have experience taking care of cats, but am unfortunately too allergic to have them stay by me. I have one active vizsla (Kibo) so regular pet care is already a very important part of my routine schedule! I work near home and have a fairly flexible work schedule so I have plenty of time during the week for your pets! I have a small unfenced yard and plenty of sidewalk friendly neighborhoods for walks! My home has plenty of space inside as well, and furniture is dog-friendly if your pet likes chilling on the couch.

About: I love my dog Mia and would love to take care of yours as my own. She’s the sweetest doggy and I don’t board her so I wouldn’t want to you to board yours either. I work from home so I’ll be with your dog most of the time. We go on walks mornings and evenings and would love to have another friend come along with us. Since I work from home my dog is always around me and I’m only away from home for around 3 hours at most during weekdays and I try to go to dog parks on weekends. I have a fenced in backyard and in live in a cul de sac so there is a lot of room for dogs to run around.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
