About: I’ve been professionally walking and caring for dogs and cats for about 5 years now. I’ve grown to understand how to give all sorts of different pets the care they need. More than just walks, I offer adventures to the park or beach. If you have a social friendly pup I have a very loving sweet Boarder Collie that would be thrilled to play and interact with your pup. If you have a nervous or less social pup i’m happy to offer them the one on one time they need. My schedule changes but im usually always able to make time to drop in or walk any pets close by! Mornings and evening are when Im most available. I have worked with many dogs both aggressive and calm and I have a good understanding on avoiding triggers, creating safe spaces for pets to play, and caring for every pet based on their personality and needs.

We had to book last minute travel due to a family emergency, and Maria was able to accommodate us on short notice. Communication was great, and she was flexible with our needs and updates. Our Maltese, Marley, doesn’t do well with other dogs, so boarding would have been extra stressful. We really appreciated being able to schedule three drop-in visits per day. Thanks for taking care of our fur babies while we were away!

About: While I’m new to professional pet sitting, I’ve been a dedicated pet parent for years. Caring for my own pets has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and unconditional love. I understand how much your furry family members mean to you, and I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I give my own. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, walks, or just keeping them company, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away I maintain a consistently open schedule and am always available to provide support, collaborate, or communicate as needed. Reliability and responsiveness are always my priorities. I do have 2 children, a 11 year old and a 7 year old. If requesting house sitting they will need to stay with me. In clients’ homes, I provide personalized, attentive care for animals, ensuring they feel safe and loved in their familiar environment. My routines include feeding according to dietary needs, administering medications if required, refreshing water bowls regularly, and maintaining a clean living space. I also offer enrichment through playtime, walks, and gentle companionship tailored to each pet’s temperament. I monitor behavior and health closely, communicating any concerns to the owner promptly. My goal is to create a stress-free experience for both pets and their people.

Misao took amazing care of our cat while we were out of town. She was very conscientious, gave us regular updates, brought in our mail and packages, and left the house cleaner than when we left. Not only was she incredibly sweet, she was timely, followed our detailed instructions perfectly and was overall a great pet sitter! Highly recommend and would hire again :)

About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life—from puppies and kittens to senior pets. I was raised around both a 220 lb St. Bernard and a 10 lb Yorkie, so I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes. I always provide the same level of love and care that I give my own pets! I currently work full-time Monday–Friday as a nanny, but I’m available anytime after 5pm on weekdays and fully available on weekends. I have plenty of time to stop by for check-ins, walks, and to give your pets lots of attention and care. While I don’t offer boarding in my own home, I provide safe, reliable care in your home and on walks. I’m very mindful about leash safety, surroundings, and sticking to your pet’s routine so they feel comfortable and secure. I’ll always treat your pet like my own and keep you updated along the way.

About: Hello! I have owned dogs for the past 10 years, and have been dog sitting for 5 years. My goal is to keep them happy and healthy. I will treat every dog in my care like my own. Hello! I have a collie mix named Sadie who has taught me a lot as a dog owner. I love all pets especially dogs, and it is a joy to see a smile on a dog’s face. I treat every dog in my care like my own in that I believe their physical and mental health is important to a happy dog. It can be a little stressful for a dog to be in a new environment with a new person, so I like to keep their routine the best I can.

I currently have 2 small pets that live here and are very calm and friendly. I am experienced with senior dogs nearing the end of their life. by providing fluids, medication, special diets, and extra special care and love.

Deborah is clearly a dog lover. She has a lot of experience not only working professionally with dogs but also clearly as a dog owner and lover herself. My pup Josie and I met her for the first time today for a drop-in and Deborah clearly loves dogs and knows how to connect with them. My pup was instantly at ease with her and spent a good long time playing fetch. All in all a great experience.

About: I have had pets since I was 4 years old and feel that I have a hole in my life if I do not have a pet. I have a special needs dog that requires daily medication and special care. Taking care of her gives me joy and purpose. My neighbors tell me that I am their dog's favorite human because I always have treats when I visit. I have a part time, flexible schedule with my day job, so I can take a play break with your special pet during the day or on the weekend. I have two dogs with a fenced yard and dog door. To care for client's pets, I can drop by their home and provide what is needed to keep their pet safe, healthy and happy when their owners are away.

About: Hi! My name is Daniel Smith and I’m a passionate dog lover with professional experience working with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I previously worked at a busy dog daycare where I cared for multiple dogs at once, supervised playgroups, and made sure every pup stayed safe, happy, and comfortable. That experience taught me how to read dog behavior, handle different temperaments, and give each dog the attention they need. I was also a certified dog groomer in the past, so I’m very comfortable handling dogs, maintaining cleanliness, and making sure pets feel calm and cared for during hands-on care. I’m not currently licensed I currently offer: • Dog walking • Drop-in visits • House sitting Whether your dog needs a fun walk, companionship while you're away, or overnight care, I’ll treat them like my own. My goal is always to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and stress-free while you’re gone. I’m reliable, patient, and attentive to each dog’s unique needs. I also believe in keeping owners updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. I’d love to meet you and your pup! Im currently unemployed and i want to make this a full time job. Just graduated college last year and I'm still looking for a career path. I can stay over at the clients house and watch them and if they feel uncomfortable with that i can take the dog to my house if needed.

Kayleigh is amazing! She took great care of the pups during a long drop in making sure they were walked, fed, and played, and had extra patience getting our picky pup to finish his dinner when we usually can't get him to eat ourselves. We'll definitely use Kayleigh again!

Jennifer surpassed my expectation for a drop-in visit for my pup. My dog had never experienced a drop-in visit and I was nervous she would be too scared. But Jennifer sent plenty of cute photos and videos with her looking very happy with a walk and play time!

Honestly the best drop in experience for my dogs ever, chose them as I have a larger elderly dog who may be hesitant with strangers, but their demeanor put her completely at ease and she was immediately trusting. Highly recommend and we will be using them from this point forward!
