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.

“Keryn has been walking my puppy, Sadie, daily and for special events, for about 1.5 months. She's a fantastic walker -- reliable, communicative, and loving with my "shy to new people" doggy. I highly recommend Keryn.”

“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.

About: My whole life I have been surrounded by animals. My love for them has inspired me to become a veterinarian. This past summer I have graduated from UC Santa Barbara with a Zoology degree in hopes to get into a vet school. Throughout my time in school and before I have been working with a variety of animals such as seals, raccoons, skunks, dogs, cats, etc. My father currently owns a ranch and I help with the animal care there. My life is very animal-centered and all I care is to ensure their safety and well-being. I am currently free all weekdays and sometimes on the weekends. So I have all the time in the world to focus on your pets and make sure they are well taken care of. Each pet is different and upon first interactions I try to learn their energy levels, how often they need attention, and understanding their body language. From there, I create a schedule that makes the dog most comfortable and content.

About: Just moved to Texas from California but I grew up on a ranch with horses and cattle. My love for animals has always been my passion and I happen to have several of my own. 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. Boarding and pet sitting is so amazing and I grew very fond of each animal. Your pet will have a very fun and interactive time with me and while you are away you will have no worries about them being safe.
