About: I’ve been caring for dogs for years through family and friends, and I’m always the person they trust to watch their pets. I genuinely love animals, and dogs tend to feel comfortable with me very quickly. I have experience with small and medium-sized dogs, and I’m comfortable adapting to different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I’m especially patient with more anxious or sensitive dogs. I have an anxious dog of my own, which has taught me how to read body language, build trust, and create a calm, safe environment. I’m very attentive and detail-oriented, so I always follow care instructions closely, whether it’s feeding schedules, medications, or specific routines. I can also help reinforce basic training like leash manners and structure during walks. My goal is to make every dog feel cared for, understood, and happy while giving owners complete peace of mind. I treat every dog like my own and always keep communication open and consistent. I’m available Thursday through Sunday, with the most flexibility on weekends. On Thursdays and Fridays, I work part-time and am home by early afternoon, so I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and evening care. I prioritize safety, trust, and clear communication above everything. I follow each pet’s routine closely and take the time to understand their individual needs, behaviors, and comfort levels. I have a fenced yard for safe outdoor time, as well as a very friendly Shihpoo who is used to being around other dogs. I always supervise interactions and make sure every dog feels comfortable and secure. I also have a pet camera at home for added monitoring, and a baby gate if a dog feels more comfortable in a smaller, more confined space. I’m especially mindful with more anxious dogs, as I have one of my own, so I understand the importance of patience and creating a calm, safe environment.

Diane was such a friendly and communicative walker. She walked my 10 month old golden retriever puppy while I was away for a business trip. She walked him twice a day and left comments every single time and sent me pictures . I would definitely be using her services again and highly recommend her ?

About: Hi! My name is Debora and I am Pom mom & insured & First Aid/CPR certified pet sitter. I have a 4 year old Pom which leads me to be a dog lover and dedicated pet caregiver. I work in higher education teaching and advising students. I understand that every dog has their own personality, energy level, and needs, and I make sure to give each pup patience, attention, and lots of love. Whether it’s a fun walk, playtime, boarding or simply keeping them company, I treat every dog like family. I’m reliable, attentive, and happy to send updates and photos so you feel confident that your pup is safe and happy while you’re away. My goal is simple: providing paw-sitivity for your pups! 🐾———————————————————————— Hola! Me llamo Debora y soy mamá de un perrito Pomerania. Tengo un Pom de 4 años, lo que me ha convertido en una amante de los perros y en una cuidadora de mascotas dedicada. Trabajo en educación superior enseñando y orientando a estudiantes. Entiendo que cada perro tiene su propia personalidad, nivel de energía y necesidades, y me aseguro de brindar a cada uno paciencia, atención y mucho amor. Ya sea un paseo divertido, tiempo de juego, hospedaje o simplemente acompañarlos, trato a cada perro como si fuera de mi familia. I currently work full time and have time for morning or evening walks during the week. I am available full time Friday evening-Sunday as needed. In my home, your dog will feel like part of the family. I provide a safe, comfortable space, follow feeding and exercise routines, and spend time playing, cuddling, and observing behavior. I also send regular updates with photos so you can see your pet is happy and loved. In your home, I follow your dog’s daily routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and potty breaks. I give attention and reassurance while keeping you updated with messages and photos. I’m experienced with puppies and small breeds, and I adjust care to each pet’s needs to keep them happy and calm.

About: I have walked dogs for the last three years, on and off, ranging all the way to 100 pounds. I also have experience with blind and deaf dogs. I have my own 4 year old 60lb husky as well! I am currently on summer break from my job, so I am available seven days a week until August 15. There is a chance that day may change. I always make sure I feel comfortable taking the dog outside. I have the strength to keep bigger dogs away from others if necessary. I also am capable of running with dogs.

About: I'm a dog lover and protector. I have 12 years of experience dog sitting my aunt's pug. She is part of our family, and I am committed to showing that same care and love to the dogs I care for through this app. I follow instructions to a T to ensure your pet receives the food and care it needs to be happy and comfortable. I will ensure your pup has a super fun time, depending on his or her personality and what he or she likes to do (whether he or she prefers to relax or play). I also have experience helping elderly dogs during walks and protecting dogs of all ages from others who aren't as friendly and might bite them. I'm available Monday to Friday anytime between 6 am and 8 pm.

About: I’ve been blessed to be a furbaby mama since I was 8 years old. I always had a special connection with animals being an empath, clairvoyant and a reiki healer. I can help heal your furbabies energetically with my hands & a lot of love. I’m always the one to walk my furbabies, play with them, feed them, and talk to them! I see them as souls in little bodies. They all deserve love. Love is healing. 🩷 I work part time on the weekends so in the middle of the week from tuesdays through thursdays, i can definitely make time to meet with your furbabies in any way you need! With my furbabies, I make sure I feed them, play & walk with them to have their exercise for the day. From time to time I do brush their teeth. I clean up after them all the time too or let them out to use potty. The energy healing is daily with cuddles, kisses and love!

About: Hi my name is Marisol, I’ve interacted with so many dogs and various breeds over the years. Dogs are such pure creatures and I enjoy being around them and playing with them. I’ve had my own dogs before and truly enjoy seeing dogs in a loving home. I am currently in college, and all my classes are night classes. A morning and afternoon schedule will be the best fit for me to walk and do drop-ins for your beautiful pups! I will respect your home as if it were mine and keep your pet happy and comfortable, while keeping them entertained and/or relaxed in their own home.
