About: I have grown up around all types of dogs from big to large, young to old! I can care for any types of cats too! I love all types and willing to do what makes them happy! I am currently a college student home for the summer and have so much free time! I have time to love and learn about any pet to meet their needs! I have a dog and cat at home with a fenced yard! I am willing to watch at your home to make it comfortable for your pets to allow them to feel safe. I can continue any training they are going through and maybe teach them something new!

About: Our pets are such an important part of our life and making sure they are well taken care of when we can't be with them let's us not have to worry about them when we have a long day at work or travel! I can pop in and check on your furry friends and make sure they are happy and healthy in their own home as well as make sure they get the playtime and exercise they need. I've had dogs in my life since I was a child and as an adult I've been able to raise two dogs from the time they were puppies. Young pups or senior pups, I've experienced the different stages and I've loved them through it all. More recently we've been adopted by two cats, one that showed up as a kitten almost two years ago and another that showed up a few months ago and just came in and made herself at home. I've also loved my family's dogs of all sizes from a sassy little westie to a golden retriever. I've cared for friend's cats and dogs as well and always made sure that they were happy and safe. I know that leaving our pets at home isn't always easy. I would make sure your furry friends get the attention they need, whether it's a nice walk or some playtime. I'm here to make sure they feel loved! I work part time and have the ability to pop in and check on your furry friends in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I can take them on walks in the mornings or evenings (as long as it's not too hot for them). On weekends, I'm also available to take them out for long morning walks or even the dog park if they like that! Of course, I will always respect your home! Depending on which services your pet needs, this could include making sure your pets are well taken care of with fresh food and water, some playtime, and some walks. If your pets have had an accident I will clean up after them. I would also clean up after them in the yard, as needed.

About: Hi! I’m Maria, a lifelong dog lover with 8+ years of professional experience caring for pups of all sizes and stages of life. I offer dog walking, overnight stays, and drop-in visits, all with the goal of giving your dog the love, attention, care they deserve, and giving you peace of mind while you're away. I ran a dog walking and sitting business in Los Angeles for nearly a decade, have volunteered at local shelters, and even worked as a bather in a dog salon. I grew up with dogs and currently have a sweet 5 year old Bernese Mountain dog. I have extensive hands-on experience with puppies, seniors, and large breeds. Whether it’s a quick walk or overnight care, you can count on me to treat your pup like family! As a freelancer, I have a flexible schedule and can give your pup personalized attention, regular updates with photos, and a safety-first mindset. I genuinely love what I do and seeing dogs happy, relaxed, and having fun brings me joy. I treat your home as if it were my own. When booking an overnight stay your dog will get the best cuddles and care to give you peace of mind.

About: I have a lot of experience caring for my 4 year old dog, Mr. Peanutbutter, and I occasionally look after my mother's 2 year old dog, Smokey. Mr. Peanutbutter requires regular grooming, exercise, and a healthy regular diet. I make sure he receives 2 daily walks, and plenty of play time. I also manage his feeding schedule and monitor his overall well being through regular vet checkups and grooming appointments. When I look after Smokey, I ensure he is well fed, gets plenty of physical activity, and enjoys interactive playtime. Smokey's energetic nature means I focus on providing him with enough exercise and mental challenges to prevent boredom. I'm used to managing the different needs of both dogs, making sure they receive the attention and care they require to stay happy and healthy. I currently stay at home so I have plenty of time to spend on taking care of your dog's needs. I personally take my dog on a walk once when I wake up and again in the evening depending on the weather and have the flexible schedule to adapt to different needs. My home has a fenced yard with plenty of space to run and and play with a patio area and another fenced off pool area.

“Aly was a huge help while my wife and I went out of town for two weeks and our 90lb energetic Irish Setter needed to expend some energy while my mother who would have had a difficult time walking him was dog sitting. Thank you for the walks every day! Would easily recommend Aly’s services and will book again!”

About: **Pet Care Experience** As a passionate and dedicated pet sitter, my experience is enriched by my love for animals and my commitment to their well-being. What sets me apart from other sitters is my diverse skill set and my attention to the individual needs of each pet. I have experience with a variety of breeds and temperaments, allowing me to tailor my care to suit each animal’s personality. My background includes: - **Training Puppies:** I have successfully trained several puppies in basic obedience commands and socialization techniques, ensuring they develop good behavior and build confidence. I utilize positive reinforcement methods to encourage desired behaviors. - **Senior Pet Care:** I understand the unique requirements of senior pets, such as dietary restrictions, medication management, and gentle exercise routines. I take the time to ensure they are comfortable and provide engaging activities to keep them mentally stimulated. - **First Aid Certification:** I'm certified in pet first aid and CPR, which gives me the ability to handle emergencies effectively and provide immediate care when needed. - **Personalized Care Plans:** I create individualized care plans for each pet, considering their health needs, daily routines, and preferences. This helps foster a sense of security and comfort while their owners are away. With my experience and special skills in pet training and senior care, I strive to provide a nurturing environment that promotes happiness and health for every pet I sit. Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine, seamlessly blending with my lifestyle and responsibilities. Here’s how I incorporate it: 1. **Morning Routine:** My day starts with a commitment to my own pets or the pets in my care. I ensure they are fed, given fresh water, and taken for a morning walk. This not only helps with their physical health but also establishes a positive start to I maintain a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate various pet care needs. Whether it’s visiting pets during the day for walks and playtime or providing overnight stays, I adjust my activities to ensure each pet receives the attention Throughout the day, I check in with the pets I’m caring for, observing behavior and ensuring they are happy and comfortable. This includes play sessions, training exercises, or simply spending quality time together. I prioritize communication with pet owners. I send regular updates and photos, giving them peace of mind while they are away. This helps build trust and keeps everyone informed about how their pets are doing. In the evenings, I often dedicate time to enrichment activities such as training sessions, games, or leisurely walks. This not only helps with physical exercise but also strengthens the bond between pets and myself. On weekends, I like to plan longer outings or visits to local parks, giving pets the chance to explore new environments and socialize with other animals. These outings help keep them engaged and happy. By incorporating pet care into my daily and weekly routine, I ensure that the pets I look after receive consistent and loving attention, contributing to their overall well-being and happiness. Caring for pets, whether in my home or in my client's home, requires a tailored approach that prioritizes the comfort, safety, and well-being of the animals. Here’s how I manage pet care. My home is equipped with a pet-friendly environment, ensuring that there are no hazards such as toxic plants, small objects, or chemicals within reach. I have designated areas for pets to relax and play. 2. **Daily Routine:** Pets staying with me benefit from a structured routine that includes feeding, exercise, and playtime. I adhere to the feeding schedule provided by the pet owner to foster a loving atmosphere through regular interaction, bonding activities, and enrichment exercises. Whether it's playing fetch, engaging in training sessions, or cuddling, I ensure that pets feel happy and secure. 4. **Health Monitoring:** I keep a close eye on the pets for any signs of discomfort or health issues. Regular check-ins and playtime help me I understand the importance of maintaining a pet’s routine in their familiar surroundings. I follow the client’s specified feeding, walking, and play schedules to provide consistency and comfort. 2. **Safety Protocols:** I ensure that the home is secure, checking that doors and windows are locked and that pets are provided with a safe area to relax. If applicable, I also supervise interactions with other pets or children.

“Zivon was such a pleasure to work with. We met up the day before to go over a game plan and so she could meet the dogs (one was my dog the other my moms). This wasn't the average situation and she was willing to just go with the flow and adjust as needed. She kept me updated with messages and pictures and eased my worry about leaving my dog for so long. I would use her again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her.”

Currently my husband and I own three dogs, three birds, one tortoise and a mini pig. We have no children so they are all my babies!! For two years I had the pleasure of pet sitting while in California and I enjoyed what I did so very much. Being around animals makes my spirit happy.
