“Christine has been a godsend in our family’s time of crisis. Knowing our Romeo has gotten the extra care we can’t provide is such a relief. Thank you Christine!”

About: Friends, coworkers, and family members have trusted me with taking care of their pets over the years. Most of my formal experience with caring for other peoples pets came during and after college, however I was raised around pets (cats and dogs) and learned how to be safe and responsible with animals when I was very little. I am very comfortable with a variety of breeds and temperaments. I have a good understanding of basic commands and have trained two of my own dogs from puppies. I grew up around dogs and cats (we had three golden retrievers at one point!) and always looked forward to getting a dog of my own. There is something about the bond between owner and dog that is special and unique. I enjoy having this bond with my own dog but I also love meeting new animals and seeing their personalities come out as they get comfortable interacting. I have been exposed to many types of dogs while dog sitting, visiting local dog parks, and traveling with our dogs to pet friendly locations. I am familiar with caring for dogs that take oral medication and/or have health problems such as limited sight or blindness. Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions about hiring me for boarding, dog walking, check-ins, or dog day care! I have one small child in the home, so any dogs staying with us during the day or overnight would need to be comfortable and well behaved enough to be around a young child. I wake up early and go to bed around 9pm/10pm. I have one dog in the home who is very friendly and well socialized. He takes little to no time to warm up to other dogs when introduced. Your dog will have plenty of space to be comfortable to chill and play! We enjoy spending time outside on nice days. When it is too hot or cold outside I make sure our pup gets playtime or enrichment toys/treats inside. I currently can offer dog walking services, daily check-ins for cats or dogs, and day/night boarding at our home (as long as your pet is a good and safe fit for a home with a small child). We have a large front and backyard as well as a carport/porch area. There is plenty of space for playing fetch, having the zoomies, or chewing on a treat while getting some fresh air, rain or shine! If your dog requires being leashed/walked when going potty, that is no problem. There is plenty of space to take them around the yard for sniffs and potty, as well as walkable streets near our house, and a beautiful park with a walking trail less than 2 minutes away. Our dog currently follows recall and commands to do his "business" and come back, but if we are caring for another dog we will leash them both or follow the owner's preferences and what they are comfortable with.

About: Hi I’m Luke! I’ve taken care of lots of different dogs over the years. From puppies to senior pets, timid to aggressive dogs big or small I’ve taken care of them all. Dogs are like people with their own special needs and quirks that need to be addressed with care. Contact me today to see how I can help! I work a very flexible schedule and am available throughout the day into evenings for dog walks and drop in visits! Schedule varies so always willing to stop by! I currently live in an apartment complex that is friendly towards dogs. All dogs have their own special needs that need to be met and I am here to make sure those needs are fulfilled.

“Makai was great! He took such great care of our dog while we were away. He was super personable and always made sure we were updated on how she was doing. We will definitely be booking again!”

About: I was raised on a farm with cats and dogs. I have a plott hound mix, a pit bull, a lab, and a sassy calico cat, all rescues, of my own. I have a lot of compassion for animals and treat them like members of the family, albeit spoiled ones. My goal is to keep your pet as comfortable as possible while their human(s) are gone. I am comfortable with cats and small to large dogs at any energy level. My neighbors, vet, and friends can provide references, if needed. I work in education, so my summer schedule is wide open. Nights, weekends, and some holidays are possible during the school year. I am able to check in, walk, stay overnight, etc. In your home, I will follow the instructions given and take pictures to let you know your pets are well taken care of. My goal is to make them as comfortable as possible while their humans are away.

About: If you need caring, compassionate, reliable, loving service for your furry sweethearts I am available to make them the center of attention. With me they get a bit of a holiday themselves. My work takes me oceanside for extended periods: so when I’m available to house/pet sit for you, I am devoted to all their needs. Presently I am auntie to several cats and dogs that for more than a decade I have been house/pet sitting. I have also cared for horses, goats, chickens, geese and peacocks. I love learning animal’s individual personalities and ingratiating myself in to their familial pack. In my life I have owned a German Shepherd, a Malinois and a Husky as well as numerous cats. I grew up walking the dog, so I prefer to exercise the canines regularly. Playtime for everyone will include some brushing. I have no problems giving oral medications or injections. And I have cared for sick animals of my own as well as others. My entry in to your home will be with complete respect, integrity and detailed consideration. My references will tell you how I am attentive not only to your pets but your home: be it garden or plant care, and most especially having your home be as if you had never left upon your return.

“Conner was great. He responded to my request quickly and worked around my schedule. My dog warmed up to him very quickly. I would definitely use Conner again.”

“Dave was great and was very accommodating with my last-minute request. My dog is pretty shy with new people and he managed to get her to go out (that’s a big deal). I really appreciated Dave’s quick responses and the pictures! I will definitely reach out to him in the future.”

About: I am a pet sitter with a flexible schedule and have experience volunteering at a pet shelter. I would love to learn more about different breeds and unique and better ways to care for them I can do pet care daily morning or night. I live along with my mom so your pet will be supervised all hours of the day. I do not do boarding due to me living at a college dorm. Dropping in on a clients home I will be very careful of my surroundings and kindly approach your pet with grace and patience.

“A good job done!”

About: Hi! My name is Makaela Hawkins! I have always loved and owned pets and never seen myself not having a dog in my life. I absolutely love taking care of animals and getting some good exercise in with them! I treat all pups as if they were my own! I have years of experience with dogs and also worked at a pet nutrition center that sold high quality dog and cat food for a while! So if you have questions about pet nutrition, please don’t hesitate to ask me! I’m looking to fill my time with some pups and help some pet parents out as well! My schedule is pretty flexible and allows me to fit in lots of time for fur babies! I treat pets like my own, always giving them love and making sure that they’re taken care of. I love creating a comfortable space for both myself and my new friend. Transparency in terms of aggression, health history, and interactions with other pets and children are very important to me.

“Prompt with responding and my dog seems to enjoy the company and walks.”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats ranging in age and health. I have experience with elderly dogs, cats, and giving oral and topical medicine. As well as, taking care of multiple animals at once and balancing different routines. I have a flexible schedule so I’m able to care for your pets in any capacity needed. I’m available for house sitting and multiple visits a day, to assure your pets safety and security. I have 5 animals of my own, so I know the importance of creating a safe environment and understanding boundaries of the client and animal. Checking in, paying attention, and giving how the client intends for me to.

“I honestly can’t say enough good things about Chelsie! Leaving my dog with someone is always a little stressful, but from the moment I met her, I felt completely comfortable. She was so caring, patient, and attentive, and it was obvious that she genuinely cared about my dog and treated him like her own. She kept me updated and sent me pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Most importantly, my dog was happy and comfortable with her, and that means everything to me. ❤️ I’m so grateful for how well Chelsie took care of him. I would absolutely trust her with my dog again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will truly love and care for their pet. We’ll definitely be booking with her again! 🐾❤️”

About: I've had pets growing up my entire life. I love animals and just enjoy being around them and giving them love! I've taken care of several pets for friends and family and just want to continue to do that for others when needed. I have my own business so I have a very flexible schedule and can be available day or night to take care of your furr babies 😊 My own animals are so friendly and loving and my home would be completely safe for ur furr babies but at this time I won't be able to board any pets at my house. This may change in the future.

“Got to my house early and stayed late to make sure they went potty - thankful for Amaya!”
