I was very anxious about leaving my Velcro dog but he loved Brenda! She sent photos daily and I could tell he was happy. Next trip, I’m requesting Brenda!

About: I have taken care of family and friends’s dogs before. I own a 9mo old male doberman and I’ve taken care of him since he was 2 months old. I potty trained him and we run over a mile every weekday when the weather allows. I used to take care of my mom’s senior schnauzer who used to have frequent seizures during his last year of life. I gave him his medicine and we used to walk twice a day. I’m currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to spend with and to take care of your fur babies. I am mostly available during the weekends and weekdays after 5pm. I might also have some weekdays off, based on my week’s schedule. I have a male 1y/o Dobbie who is very friendly and playful. When in home I can take the dogs to the dog park. Typically, I take the dogs to the dog park 3 times a day. We play and cuddle together on the sofa.

About: I specialize in dogs that need a little extra grace and a lot of patience, but I also love a social butterfly! I know firsthand that not every dog is an easy walker; having raised a reactive dog and managed the 'pulling power' of a Great Dane and a Lab, I have the confidence to handle any situation. ​For social pups, I love encouraging their friendly nature and ensuring they get plenty of positive interaction. I am very observant of canine body language and use consistent treat training to keep every walk safe and fun. Whether your dog is a social socialite who loves making friends or a sensitive soul who needs a sitter who truly 'gets' reactivity, I provide a calm, confident environment tailored specifically to them. Pet care is a staple of my daily routine! While I work a standard 9-to-6 business day 5 days of the week, I am wide awake and ready to go for those early 5:00 AM or 6:00 AM morning walks. Your pup will get plenty of exercise and attention before I head out, and I’m back in the evenings for more play, dinner, and potty breaks until 10:00 PM. I specialize in house-sitting and recurring schedules, ensuring your pets have a consistent best friend to look forward to every morning and night. Whether I’m staying at your place or visiting for a drop-in, your pets are treated like family. My approach combines physical exercise with mental engagement—I love incorporating short, positive training sessions into our day to keep their minds sharp. They’ll get plenty of 'tummy rub' downtime and scheduled feedings, but they’ll also get the structure and play they need to stay happy and tired out. Your dog won't just be watched; they’ll be active, engaged, and thoroughly spoiled.

About: I offer personalized, one-on-one care tailored to your dog’s unique needs, personality, and routine. With a focus on reliability and attentiveness, I make your dog’s comfort and daily schedule a priority. I strive to be a calm, loving presence your dog can trust, helping them feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while you’re away. As a full-time teacher, my weekdays follow a consistent and predictable schedule. I am available for afternoon visits after school, evening care, as well as overnight stays when needed. On weekends, holidays, and school breaks, I have more flexibility and can provide extended care, additional visits, or longer stays. This structure allows me to offer reliable, attentive pet care while maintaining clear communication and consistency for your pet. I care for pets with a focus on comfort, routine, and individual needs, whether in my home or in my client’s home. I follow each pet’s normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and medication, and I take time to learn their preferences and personality. In a client’s home, I respect their space while providing attentive, one-on-one care and keeping pets in a familiar environment. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and calm interactions, and I communicate regularly with updates so owners can feel confident their pet is happy and well cared for.

About: I have grown up with both cats and dogs and currently live in a household with four cats. I have worked at a veterinary clinic for well over 3 years now, so I am comfortable administering medications including liquids, pills and injections. I am knowledgeable about common pet conditions and illnesses as well. I currently work full time but I do go in late/get off early several days during the week plus I don't work Thursdays and only half a day every other Saturday. I will happily take care of your pets days I don't work or before and after my shifts! This of course wouldn't be my first time petsitting in someone else's home that I didn't know well, so I know there are boundaries that are necessary to respect and would never do anything that you have not allowed ahead of time.

About: I have taken care of dogs ranging from 10 pounds to 110 pounds my entire life. I have owned chihuahua dachshund mix, akitas, huskies, and German shepherds; so I understand big breeds as well as smaller ones. I have helped family members and neighbors with their dogs growing up with house sitting and dog walking. I know how important furbabies are to families, and treat each and every one as I would my own. I currently work full time with every other Monday off. I go to work about 7 am and get home about 430 pm. I do have volleyball leagues on Monday Wednesday and Friday nights that I am gone for 2 hours between 6-11pm as it varies based on game time. I love to hike and be outside so taking the dogs for walks a non issue. I treat all furbabies as if they were my own. I adjust my schedule accordingly to accommodate the animals as best as I can. I have given insulin shots and medication to animals and am comfortable with it.

Jasmine was great! She was not able to find my cat all of the time but she still sent pictures showing she was dropping in and tried very hard to catch my cat on camera. She even did the litter box even though I forgot to put that on the instructions.

About: I am a dog lover!! I have always had dogs in my family for as long as I can remember. I've had experience with many different breeds and know that they are all different but all of them give you many reasons to love them. I believe that dogs are not just pets but also members of your family. I've raised and trained dogs from pekingnese to bully breeds. This is a perfect experience to enjoy many breeds and introduce my child to many breeds and continue to fulfill my love for dogs while encouraging hers. I look forward to being your pets best friend while you're away. I can ensure you that they will love their time with me and you will be sorry free.

Kat is such an amazing sitter! I'm in the process of moving, so lot's of stress.. but I didn't worry about my animals AT ALL. She went above and beyond keeping me updated and sending detailed photos/descriptions showing that my house and animals were safe and well cared for.

Danielle is our go to girl! We have loved everything she does for Leo and we always looking forward to having her watch Leo while we are away. When we know we are going away, I look for her immediately. She sends the best pictures and always takes her time with the dog she's watching.

Lauren is great! We had a mixup on the first morning time but she honestly apologized. She came each time requested other than that morning and was awesome with my 3 dogs. My dogs are not the easiest to take care of (I have a 17 year old blind one who wears diapers) but Lauren was a champ and cleaned up messes. I will use her again for my next trip.
