Dog Sitting Gibsonia

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my combination of 15+ years of hands-on experience with dogs and my genuine passion for providing exceptional animal care. Caring for pets has always been something I love, and I take the time to understand each pet’s unique personality, routine, and needs. I am experienced with dog walking, pet sitting, grooming, puppy care, and providing extra patience and attention for senior pets. I understand that puppies need consistency, positive reinforcement, exercise, and guidance as they learn, while senior pets often require a gentler approach, extra comfort, and attention to changes in their needs. I also have experience caring for cats and understand the importance of respecting their individual personalities—whether they are playful and social or more independent and reserved. My goal is to provide more than just basic care. I focus on creating a safe, loving, and enriching experience for every pet while giving owners peace of mind through reliable communication, updates, and personalized attention. I treat every animal as if they were my own and feel honored to be trusted with someone’s furry family member. I am currently dedicating my full-time focus to growing my animal care business, which allows me to provide flexible, reliable, and attentive care for my clients’ pets. Because pet care is my primary commitment, I’m able to give each animal the time, attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. My daily routine revolves around creating a safe, comfortable, and positive experience for every pet in my care—whether that means morning walks, playtime, feeding routines, enrichment activities, grooming needs, or simply providing companionship while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I take pride in being dependable, responsive, and treating every pet as if they were my own. I offer flexible, dependable pet care options designed to keep your furry family member happy, comfortable, and well cared for in the environment where they feel most at ease. I provide in-home visits, dog walking, and overnight stays for both dogs and cats, with care tailored to each pet’s individual routine, personality, and needs. Whether your pet needs daily exercise, companionship, feeding routines, medication reminders, playtime, or extra attention while you’re away, I’m happy to provide the level of care that works best for them. I understand that every pet is unique, and I take the time to build trust and make sure they feel safe and loved. I also offer pet grooming services, including basic grooming care to help your pet look and feel their best. My goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care while giving you peace of mind knowing your pet is in great hands.

“This is the second time Jennifer has watched my cats and she is just the best! She brought in our mail, took out the trash without even being asked, feeds the fish, and spends time with the cats rather than ducking out early. We appreciate her!”

About: I have spent years caring for dogs of all personalities, sizes, and needs — from sweet little dachshunds like Margot to big, lovable German Shepherds like Caesar. Every dog has their own routine, comfort level, and personality, and I take pride in making sure each pup feels safe, happy, and at home. As a professional dog groomer, I have experience handling dogs with many different temperaments and understand the importance of patience, communication, and creating a stress-free environment. My grooming background has taught me how to read body language, recognize when a dog needs space, and provide gentle, attentive care. At home, my two friendly pups, Coco and Ryker, help make our house a welcoming place for social dogs who enjoy companionship. I have a fenced-in yard where pups can safely enjoy outdoor time, play, and get plenty of exercise. My goal is to provide a home away from home where your dog feels loved, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I treat every dog like they are my own and prioritize safety, routine, and lots of tail wags. I work Tuesday–Saturday, 9 AM–4 PM as a professional dog groomer. Depending on the pup’s comfort level, they may be able to come along with me to my dog-friendly workplace. When we’re home, your dog gets plenty of love, attention, outdoor time, and a cozy home away from home. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable home environment where every pup is treated like one of my own. As a professional dog groomer, I have experience handling dogs of many sizes, breeds, and personalities, and I understand the importance of patience, safety, and reading each dog’s individual needs. During their stay, pets will receive plenty of attention, playtime, enrichment, and outdoor time in my fenced-in yard. I also offer grooming add-ons such as baths, brush-outs, and nail trims to help your pup go home feeling fresh and comfortable. I keep a clean, calm environment and prioritize each dog’s routine, comfort level, and safety. My goal is for every pet to feel relaxed, loved, and at home while they are in my care.

About: As a Star Sitter, I have a proven track record of providing a calm, safe, and fun home environment with a high level of attention and care. Because I work from home, your dog receives consistent supervision, multiple daily walks, and plenty of engagement throughout the day. We love hosting dogs - your pup will be treated like part of the family 💕 I intentionally host one dog at a time (or dogs from the same household) to maintain a safe, low-stress environment and provide individualized care. The dogs in my photos are past guests and are not present during your dog’s stay. Before You Book: Important Requirements To ensure a great experience for everyone, I only accept dogs who are: • Fully house trained • Friendly with humans (no history of aggression) • Able to safely pass other dogs on walks • Comfortable in a new environment (no destructive behavior or significant anxiety) • Able to sleep through the night If your dog has anxiety, reactivity, or behavioral challenges, please be transparent so I can determine if this is the right fit. New Clients • Meet & greet required • First-time bookings: a one night trial stay is strongly recommended before longer stays I am home based and am an avid walker, plenty of availability. Your dog would not be left alone for more than a few hours when I have to run out for errands or appointments. I’m a homebody! I live in a safe, quiet neighborhood in the north hills with flat, easy loops for walking. I also have a fenced in, flat backyard that dogs love to play in. I have a 12 year old son who loves dogs and will gladly play with your pup.

“This is the second time I've asked him to take care of my cat. He is a reliable person. He kept me informed of any changes to visiting times. I was happy to know that my shy cat had finally met him!”

“Abigail is great! Our young Chihuahua (also named Abigail) is very leery of new people. Abigail took the time to get to know her and build trust. To us that is priceless. Our dog also has Addison's disease, and it is comforting to know Abigail is a nurse and comfortable giving her needed daily meds. We highly recommend her even if it means sharing her with others. You won't regret choosing her to care for your beloved pets.”

About: I’ve been around animals for most of my life. I’m the friend people trust to take care of their dogs/cats while they go away. I’m adjustable to different breeds and needs. I will give them the attention and love they’re used to. I love going on walks so I will be just as excited to go! I am currently working from home, so I am flexible for different drop in and walking times. I will be in school starting the end of August, but I’m open to finding a time that works, just message me.☺️ I understand every furry friend is different and I am adaptable to learn their routine! When I am in your home I will do what is possible to make them feel happy and safe.

About: I grew up in a home full of animals, including dogs, cats, and birds, so caring for pets has been a big part of my life from an early age. Over the years I’ve developed a calm, patient l approach to training and have successfully worked on manners and basic cues with every pet I’ve owned. I recently finished my master’s degree at Carnegie Mellon University and now work in the entertainment industry, which gives me a flexible, creative schedule and a strong sense of responsibility and communication. I share my life with a 3‑year‑old beagle named Patti LuPup, and we love spending time in nature together exploring trails and parks. Because I’m so used to reading different animal personalities, I’m comfortable with shy, energetic, or quirky pets and always focus on making them feel safe, engaged, and loved. Whether it’s a leisurely walk, active playtime, or quiet company, I’ll treat your pet like part of my own family. I am currently in between work after finishing my masters program, so my availability is flexible as I am working freelance at the moment. I am very happy to coordinate to best service you! I have a calm beagle of my own, and we have a large fenced in yard. Many parks are close by with trails and dog parks.

“Ashley was great. She did everything we asked and truly put in the effort to spend time with our cat. Our pet was happy and healthy when we returned from a week-long vacation. I would definitely recommend Ashley to anyone looking for an experienced, responsible, and attentive caregiver for their pet.”

About: Having grown up with animals, I've developed a deep love and understanding for both cats and dogs. I have experience with all sorts of animals but especially love caring for cats and dogs! I have two cats from the shelter, and a senior dog who requires a little extra TLC. I'm experienced in giving medicine, senior care, walking dogs, and everything else! I'm committed to making sure your furry friends are happy and healthy! Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine.

Since I have a flexible schedule, I can always be on time and give them the attention they need. Plus, I have my own car, so getting there is never an issue.

“Brooke followed all of our instructions and provided detailed updates and pictures from each of her visits. We really appreciated her looking after our cats while we were out of town!”

“I was nervous to use Rover for the first time but Jordyn was great. Texted me throughout the process and sent me a picture of my cats at the end to let me know they were ok. Would definitely use again!”

About: I've had animals since I was a teenager, always responsible for taking care of them... I'm that person at a party that would rather hang out with the pet rather than the people. I currently stay home and help take care of my 90 year old father in law. I've got plenty of time during my day to get out and care for some critters! Depending on what the client wants, I will adhere to their preferences... Letting them run around a fenced in yard, throwing toys, walking on a leash is all fine with me. It's whatever the client prefers.

“Amy took care of our dog (drop-in visits) and we were completely satisfied. Very accommodating to our dog's "odd" schedule (very early riser) and provided great updates and photos (pet photographer quality photos!). Would recommend and use again.”
