Jewell was absolutely amazing with my dogs! 🐾 She cared for them like they were her own and kept me updated the whole time. My pups were happy, calm, and clearly adored her. I highly recommend Jewell to anyone looking for a loving, reliable pet sitter!

My dog loves Breanna. She always shows up on time and is so pleasant. I will miss her when I no longer need her. She has been such a great help as I recovered from a hip replacement. Thanks for helping me find her.

About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals and have two of my cats who do not currently live with me. one I’ve cared for over six years. I’m easy to work with, dependable, and especially patient with senior pets. I gained a lot of experience helping care for my grandma’s senior dog, as well as two crazy pugs (so i can handle anything). Whether it’s dogs or cats, I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m currently working Friday, Saturday, and Sunday! Saturday i am busy all day, but Friday and Sunday available after 6. I am free to help with whatever you need throughout the week. When caring for pets in their home, I treat them like family. I carefully follow any care instructions, feeding, walks, medication, and spend quality time giving them attention and comfort to help them feel safe and loved while their owners are away.

About: I have always had a dog in my life since I was born but my caretaking journey started when a little corgi entered into my world. She was an escape artist, food fiend, she couldn’t be left for too long and she battled anxiety her whole life, but she brought me the most joy. She taught me attentiveness, and limitless love. She recently crossed the rainbow bridge so I have been missing the presence of my fury friend but am excited to hang out with doggies again!!! Skills include: puppy care, senior care, special needs. I am a grad student and my weekends are usually free. I have class 9-5:30pm tue-fri. Mondays are always free. As of now my summer is completely open for bookings. I appreciate a list of instructions specifically stating your pets schedule and needs. The more detailed the better:) I love to take videos and pictures to keep you updated through the process. I know how important it is to have peace of mind when leaving your baby with a stranger.

About: Hi there! My name is Kyiala (any pronouns). I am 28 years old. I’m experienced in pet sitting and house sitting. I love animals and would delight in caring for your furry family and your home. I love to explore, spend time in nature, learn, read, explore different areas, write, travel, grow, dance, sing, cook, and more! I value and appreciate spaces that are greener, and I would delight in caring for plant babies in addition to the furry ones. I currently am learning about and practicing sustainability and eco consciousness and would be doing so in your home.🌱 I would consider myself to be introverted and mellow, often enjoying spending time in contemplation, studying, researching, reading and more. I began working full time at the age of 15 years old as I attended high school online, and I believe this has prepared me to be self-sufficient, reliable and a thorough person in my endeavors. I understand the vulnerability that comes with opening your home and furry companions to another person. I am committed to being a thoughtful, caring and kind guest in your home as integrity is very important to me. My honest goal is to love your home and your pet/s as if they’re my own. Thank you! I am a remote college student who enjoys spending most of my time in solitude, in nature and/or with furry companions. I also enjoy reading, writing, taking classes, meeting with community, listening to and making music, and more! I am happy to do drop ins, walking services, in house sits and more. I currently am not able to host them in my home.

Highly recommend her! She communicates and arrives on time. Our dog must have really enjoyed his time with her because he was napping when I got home and was tired. She updated me with great pics of their walk.

About: I have provided pet care services to dogs and cats of all ages and needs. From walking the neighbors dogs to watching their cats at night, I am ready for whatever care your animal needs. I am also equipped from the personal care of the dogs and cats my family and I rescued from baby to senior. I can’t wait to meet your pets and make them feel at home! I generally work 9-6 weekdays but my schedule fluctuates week to week and is flexible on weekends. I am happy to provide care before and after my work day. Let’s find a time! I will provide a safe environment in the home for the pets maintaining whatever feeding and bathroom schedule they are on. I love playing with animals and just keeping them company :).

About: I grew up in a house full of dogs and I learned from an early age, what responsible, attentive animal care truly looks like. My mom is a retired veterinarian, and I worked as a veterinary assistant in her practice throughout my teenage years and into adulthood. Through that experience, I became comfortable and confident with administering oral medications, giving injections, monitoring, recovery, and recognizing signs of illness or discomfort. I understand how important routines, safety, and communication are when caring for someone’s dog. Whether your dog is young and energetic, senior, or requires medication, I am able to provide knowledgeable, attentive care with a calm and compassionate approach. Your dogs, health, comfort and happiness are always my top priorities. I work part time in the mornings, which means most of my afternoons and evenings are free and flexible for pet care. This allows me to provide consistent attention, timely walks, drop ins, feedings, and medications administration as needed. When caring for pets in their home, my priority is maintaining their normal routine in a safe, calm, and low stress environment. A carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, medication, exercise, and household rules, so your pet experiences as little disruption as possible. With my veterinary assistant background, I’m comfortable monitoring behavior and recognizing early signs of stress or illness. I will always communicate promptly if anything seems unusual and provide regular updates with photos, so you can feel confident and at ease while you are away.

About: I’ve been running a “private flight crew” for dogs in my past apartment community for the last 4 years. Now that we’ve moved into a home with a yard, I’m able to expand my guest list and offer more First-Class stays. I specialize in creating a calm, boutique boarding experience with small groups, gentle structure, and tons of personal attention. My background is in real, in-home care for dogs of all personalities — seniors, shy pups, social butterflies, and everything in between — and I focus on safe introductions, cozy routines, and individualized care so every pup feels secure and completely at home. You can also catch us on instagram - CanineconciergeSRQ Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine — it’s part of my everyday “flight plan.” I work from home and stay hands-on throughout the day, so the pups enjoy consistent attention, yard time, play, treats, and snuggles. My husband, Riley, is also a co-pilot in our little operation, and for reasons unknown, every pup decides he’s their instant favorite — I’ve accepted it. Together we keep a calm, steady rhythm with morning potty breaks, midday activity, afternoon naps, and evening walks or yard zoomies. Because we only host a small number of dogs at a time, each pup gets the time, structure, and companionship they need to feel completely comfortable and cared for. When pups stay in our home, they live right alongside us — part of the household, never tucked away or left alone in a separate space. I tailor each dog’s care to match their routine and personality: slow introductions for shy pups, structured play for energetic guests, cozy rest areas for nappers, and plenty of enrichment throughout the day. I supervise all interactions to keep the environment peaceful and positive, and I follow your feeding, medication, and comfort instructions exactly as you share them. Riley is also involved in the day-to-day care (and yes, he somehow becomes everyone’s favorite within minutes). With only a small number of dogs at a time, we’re able to give each pup thoughtful, individualized attention and create a safe, familiar, truly home-like experience.

About: I got my first dog when I was 4 years old and have ever since had dogs in my life. Whether mine, friends, or finding fur mates to walk and puppy sit. I love to travel so don’t have any of my own but wherever I go I make sure I have a running/ walking/ snuggle bud close by. I have cared for puppies, small dogs, elderly dogs, and very large dogs whom needed extra care. I’ve administered ear and allergy medication and my best friend is a Veterinarian so she has always been very helpful with any questions I’ve had. I’ve cared for cats as well. I’ve lived with 4 different cats and have watched 2 others but have never had one of my own. I enjoy running, hikes, and walks on the beach so it’s always nice to have a buddy to have tag along. I enjoy throwing the ball and I love teaching dogs new tricks! I’m very patient and persistent so I have done well with training if I’ve had quality time with them. I really love animals and getting paid to hang out with them is literally a dream. I would love to care for your pet and make a new friend ☺️. I am pretty flexible! Just message me with any scheduling questions that you may have! I am available most weekends and some of the holidays :) I care for dogs in clients home, but can board cats. I cannot board dogs cause the condo I live in does not allow it.

About: I've taken care of dogs for the last eight years, including puppies and energetic dogs. I've got lots of toys, treats, and time to give your best friend :) and honestly I love dogs so much I would do this just for the joy of seeing dogs. I'm free every week day after 2, and all day each weekend. If boarding is needed during weekday mornings, they can be taken out at least every three hours. Otherwise, I can spend as much time with your pup as needed I usually play a lot with the pup, or take it on a walk. I love a good cuddle session, or even just hanging out together on the couch. Personally I feed my dog every morning and evening, and provide plenty of time in our fenced-in backyard to explore and run.
