About: Ive always been a lover of animals and my family and I have rescued multiple cats and dogs since I was little. Ive learned how to take care of even pregnant cats. I usually wake up around 8 am to feed my cats and clean their litter boxes at around 10 am. I come back at around 12 pm for a little snack and by 8 pm they have dinner and I clean the litter box for the second time. I keep a clean environment so that my cats are able to roam freely and I dont have to worry about them getting sick. Cats can get bored as well so I play with them and even talk with them.
“My dog Moses can be handful and he is not used to walking . De Juan was patient while exhibiting excellent skills calming Moses down in preparation for his walk. Moses enjoyed his walks with De Juan very much. De Juan was great handling my dog and very pleasant and professional. I highly recommend him, and would not hesitate to reach out for his services again!”

About: Lifetime of experience with dogs and cats, 5 years of furster care for puppies (training, love, and preparing them for their forever homes), and puppy love. I work full time, but making sure they start and end their day with love is important. Walks in the evening and weekend adventures are options. I have a fenced in yard for watching my parents animals. My own never miss a day of snuggles and play. If your furbaby stays at my home it will need to be cat friendly and would be safe downstairs where there is plenty of room to play. Giving all animals a safe space.
About: I fell in love with dogs since the age of 4 after being terrified from my first encounter. But after a few more curiosity approaches, I went from being afraid to loving every dog I came across from walks and loving every dog I came across even on the roads. No matted fur or patches will stop me from giving it affection (ask my girlfriend about the dogs I pet on our trips lol) Any moods the fur baby gives I try to match so we both can say (or bark) “yeah this was a great day…now what about treats!” Tend to every need I can, have bathed my own fur baby but no experience with nail trimming (not forcing to do something they don’t like) and always love seeing that wide smiles either from play or from my belly scratches! Working full time so will really be available on every other weekend with some days in the week. Just message me and I’ll let you know my availability! Never want to miss meeting another fur-ones! Constant monitor when at play in case someone decides to eat something they had no business. Will always check area for random loose trash that might look to appetizing for the fur baby. We’re not getting no upset tummies in this (or your) household!

About: I am very passionate about animals, I currently have one cat of my own and before she came along I was grew up with two dogs who lived to be fifteen and sixteen years old. At the moment I am only work part time so I have plenty of time to stop by and take care of your dog or cat I tend to avoid other dogs and do not have any in my home. When I go to the dog park, I prefer to wait until it’s empty and my dog can have free run.
About: I have over 17 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs. I cared for and loved my family dog for 17 years, including daily walks, feeding, bathing, basic training, and senior care. I also have experience as a dog bather, so I’m comfortable handling dogs of all sizes, personalities, and coat types. I’m very attentive to safety, cleanliness, and each dog’s individual needs, and I always treat every pet with the same care and attention I would give my own. Pet care fits pretty easily into my routine. I do work full-time, but I still have a pretty flexible schedule and can make time for your pets. I’m happy to help with walks, playtime, feeding, and giving them plenty of attention and companionship. I’m available on weekdays and weekends before 6pm, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine when I can. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and attentive environment and always follow owner instructions carefully. With my dog bathing and grooming background, I am confident handling pets safely and recognizing stress signals or health concerns. I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and respect, ensuring they feel secure and loved whether in my home or yours.
About: I’ve cared for dogs through every stage of life, from raising puppies to supporting senior dogs with medical needs. My last dog was with me for 15 years and eventually became blind-she was also epileptic, so I’m very comfortable with patience, medication routines, senior care, and providing calm, attentive support to anxious or aging pets. I currently have a well-socialized 2-year-old Mini Schnauzer that I raised from 8 weeks old, so I understand the importance of structure, consistency, exercise, and positive interaction. As a retired military veteran, I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and home full time, which means pets in my care receive a lot of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy creating a calm, safe environment where pets feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m retired and home full time. I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, medication support if needed, and lots of supervision throughout the day. Because I don’t have children or a demanding work schedule, I’m able to give pets consistent attention and maintain a calm, low-stress environment. In my home, pets have access to a safe, calm environment with a fenced yard for supervised outdoor time, exercise, and potty breaks. I also have a friendly 2-year-old Mini Schnauzer who enjoys the company of other dogs. I follow each pet owner’s instructions closely regarding feeding schedules, walks, routines, medications, crate preferences, and exercise needs. I understand how important consistency is for pets, especially when they’re away from their owners. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible while also making sure they receive attention, affection, exercise, and attentive care.
About: I currently am a high volume spay/neuter veterinarian assistant which includes surgical prep for 10 hours - 4 days out of my week. Along with this, I have 4 years of doggie daycare/walking behavioral experience, and two additional years of shelter medicine experience where I’ve had to vaccinate and help doctors examine animals with many different temperaments. On weekends I like to focus less on the medical and more on the personality of animals which includes walks, running at parks, car rides, dog pools and lots of treats. I will have full conversations with your fur babies because I 100% know they understand what I’m saying. I will treat them like my own and respect their boundaries and yours. My goal is to build a consistent routine with the same clients. I’ve seen the good, the bad, & the ugly in my years of experience in shelters where we took in untrained animals and helped find their personality. Working with animals is more therapeutic for me, so this doesn’t feel like a chore and I’m willing to help in the ways that I can.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
