About: I have taken classes in dog behaviors and how they act when they might need a particular action done. I have a NAPPS certification, which is National Association of Professional Pet Sitters that is earned for all small animals, both including dogs and cats. I have had my own very young puppy, so I know how to handle and train them in a gentle manner that they will respond to. I have tons of experience in senior dogs and cats, so I am patient to more slow animals or paying attention to them more and making sure they have what they need. I have an extremely open schedule and can stay over for longer periods of time than most people. I am free almost every single day for hours on end, so finding when I can come over is no trouble. I’m easy to schedule if I need to house sit, and am extremely responsible and willing to stay overnight when needed. I love taking care of animals in their own homes, knowing they’ll feel the most comfortable surrounded by their familiar surroundings. The only thing I care about is that your furry companions are safe and cared for in a way that they don’t feel out of place or missing the love they got before you left them in my care.
“Daniel did great with our shy and cautious dog. He warmed up to him surprisingly quick, which we took as a great sign. Daniel left the home clean and did everything as instructed. His daily drop-in notes were informative and thorough. We would definitely book him again in the future.”
About: Only able to offer house sitting, walks, and drop in visits at this time! Apologies for any inconveniences. Growing up, I've cared for daschunds(Snoopy and Roxanne!). I've also helped care for my aunts bully breeds over the years. Have also cared for fish and a chameleon at one point. I love animals! Currently work in a hybrid capacity and also volunteer a few hours a month at AWLA. I do work a hybrid schedule-- in office 2 to 3 days a week (Tuesday thru Thursday), I have a more flexible schedule on the weekends and Monday and Friday to make sure your pups get the attention they need. At the moment I am only able to offer house sitting, dog walking, and drop in visits to your place. I keep a generally tidy space

“Aislyn was wonderful with our puppy Scout. She was super responsive, on-time, and provided great pictures and write-ups of our visit. That was especially important to us as Scout is our first puppy and we were nervous about leaving her home alone for the first time. Scout always looked so happy in the pictures and when we came home from work!”

“This was our first time having Isabelle and her dad care for our two cats, and they are delightful caregivers. They were caring, responsive, and the cats clearly loved the visits!”
“Lexy and Robert were super awesome caring for my sweet baby Nova. They were very responsive and always made me feel like she was in good hands. My go-to in Clarendon!”
About: I have been caring for dogs for friends and neighbors for many years and have decided to branch out and find some more dogs to watch! I love every single dog that visits me, and they love me. Dog owners tell me it is the best possible home away from home and they feel so comfortable that their dog is in such good hands. Dogs are so happy with me, and I love having them around and sharing pics with you if you like when the dog is here. Lots of love, cuddles on the sofa, and plenty of walks around the neighborhood is what will happen here. I can only care for hypo-allergenic breeds or small short-haired dogs as my family has some allergies.

“Liz and her family have been my trusted dog-sitters for years. Upon opening their door, my dog would run through their house like it was his second home. He became a family member; going to the kid's ball games, sleeping with the kids and taking long walks on the nearby bike trail. My little guy recently passed away, but I will forever be grateful for all the loving attention paid to him by Liz and her family.”
