About: I’ve worked with dogs professionally across different platforms; daycares, shelters, and a training facility. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments; I’ve yet to be scared off by a dog! Not every dog loves strangers but I’m dedicated to putting in the effort to gain their trust. My schedule is pretty open, so I’m happy to watch your dog whenever you need. Whether it’s a regular appointment or the odd drop-in as your schedule changes, I’m happy to help! I have a partially fenced in yard and two dogs of my own. Birdie loves to play with other dogs but is reactive at first so she requires a slow introduction. Once she knows a dog, she’ll play as much as her friend will let her! Luna, however, is not exactly a social butterfly. She can coexist peacefully with other dogs but would rather not play with them. My girls are not great playmates for every dog, and that’s okay! Some dogs prefer human friends and others prefer a specific quality in their doggy friends that my girls may not have; no worries! My main goal is always for your dog(s) to have a great time with me. If they prefer a structured or training based walk, we can do that. Some dogs like the freedom of a long leash walk, and we can do that too. Others like to throw a ball, and that works too! Whatever will get your dog the most excited is what we’ll do (within reason, of course). I love to watch dogs be dogs. I’ve worked with several dogs that don’t trust people easily, and I’m dedicated to taking the time to gain their trust. I’ve worked with dogs with a couple of different special needs as well, so just let me know what specific care your dog needs and I’ll be sure to ask if I have any questions. My dog Birdie underwent a hind leg amputation a year ago and in my time at shelters I’ve assisted with surgery recovery with a handful of dogs. I’m known to pay attention to every little detail of the dogs in my care. If there are any changes in your dog’s behavior, I will let you know immediately. I truly come to love every dog like my own, and I can’t wait to meet my new friends!

“It was such a great decision to have Gladys and Liani take care of our cats! They proved to be extremely responsive, reliable, and punctual. When there was a car accident along the way, Gladys even checked in to let us know they would be a few minutes late. What really made Gladys and Liani stand apart from other sitters was their enthusiasm. It didn't seem like taking care of pets is just a job -- it seems that they genuinely love animals. Separately, while others made the initial scheduling process overly complicated, it was really easy to arrange everything with Gladys. Gladys and Liani earned our highest recommendation!”

“Stephen is amazing! He’s well-versed with large breeds, and we were so happy to find someone experienced who Bowser absolutely loves walking with. He’s always punctual, and after just two walks, Bowser is already so excited to see him! It’s hard to find someone you can truly trust with your dog, and Stephen is definitely that person. Highly recommend!”

“I appreciate Caroline dropping in and playing with Roscoe. She sent me a pic of him and he looked happy. Definitely would recommend.”

Rodd H.

“I was in California for 5 days, far away from my sweet cat. I did not worry about her at all though, because Jenna showed up on time, fed my kitty, and made sure she had water and a clean litter box. She sent me lots of photos and a video every day so I knew she was being well cared for. It was obvious from the photos that Emmie loved Jenna’s visits. When we arrived home, Emmie was calm and happy. I would definitely hire Jenna again to care for my cat when I am away.”

Jackie D.

“Melony took care of my cat for two days. She went above and beyond what I asked of her. My cat is extremely friendly and loves people. She spent the whole time playing with him and giving him love. She even cleaned up the litter he kicked out of the box which I had told her she didn’t have to do. Melony was wonderful, kind and caring.”

Jess O.

“Lauren was so sweet with my two cats, both my diabetic old man and my younger “ornery” cat. She is responsible, communicative, and most of all, caring. I would highly recommend Lauren for any pet sitting position, and I know my boys look forward to seeing her again”

Sandra Z.

“Took care of our baby girl in our absence. She sent pictures of our happy girl and gave good notes. Will happily use her services again.”

David T.

“Deirdre was wonderful. The pups were all fed and taken outside. Eased our mind and ability to enjoy our evening out. We would definitely use Deirdre again!”

About: Hello, im Annie. I've been a dog lover all my life. I became the care taker for my two family dogs at 18. My boy Shadow, who was 8 at the time, is now 22. I have two adopted rescues currently in home as well. I see them as my children/ family and will provide the same quality of love and care to your pup as well. I can give wide spectrum of senior care from hand feeding, to medications, to helping stimulate bowl movements. I can help reinforce training and basic commands in dogs of all ages. And can provide help with some basic training if needed in terms of basic obedience such as name affirmation, sit, stay, and come. The boys know the routine and will help your pup acclimate and learn as well. I am currently home. I may have a doctors appointment here or there, but have enough space and crate for safe accommodations if I were to have to step out briefly. All owners will be notified if so. Morning start at varying times and can be based around you pup being dropped off or picked up. Our rountine. 8-9am wake up. Quick pee break in the side yard before breakfast ( I clean the yard before they are left out). Prepare breakfast. Positive Reinforcement training. Side yard until everyone has peed or pooped.

Kiba and Oliver have been in large playgroup settings together and are two big friendly goofs. If you're dog has a lot of energy, I can almost gunatree Kiba's got more and your pup will be happy and tired when you come to bring them home.

About: I think what makes me different is how much I really love spending time with pets. I’ve got experience with a wide range of ages and breeds when it come to dogs, so I know how to keep up with their energy and help with basic training and routines. I always make sure they get lots of play, exercise, and attention so they feel happy and cared for. I treat every pet like my own, giving them plenty of love and companionship while you’re away Pet care fits perfectly into my routine since I only work on weekends. That means I have plenty of time during the week to focus on walks, playtime, and keeping pets happy and cared for without being rushed. I like being able to give them my full attention. When I take care of pets in a client’s home, I do my best to stick to their usual routine, like meals, walks, playtime, and any rules you have. I make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and exercise so they feel happy and comfortable while you’re away. My goal is to keep things as normal as possible for them, so they feel safe and cared for.

About: Hi my name is Cory! I love dogs and they seem to know it right away. I have been around dogs since I was 4 years old. I have owned 2 akitas and an English bulldog . My latest Akita Diablo passed away 5 years ago and I haven't gotten another dog since his passing so currently I have no dogs. I only have chinchillas and a hamster as of now. I have a lot of experience working with dogs and they seem to feel relaxed and comfortable when in my care, making this the perfect job for me. I know how to approach these animals in a way that is non-threatening to reduce their anxiety and to help them relax. I can help to maintain the routine they are used to, so they will not get anxious or feel so alone while their owners are away. I have extensive knowledge concerning the different breeds of dogs and I know how to take care of them properly. I understand that some breeds have special needs and that the age of the dog will play a major role in how to take care of them. You can depend on me to provide excellent service and to take great care of your dog/dogs. I know what questions to ask to make sure I understand their specific needs. I will be full time dedicated to your furry child, providing walks and play time as much as needed! There is nothing I wouldn't do to make your dog feel comfortable and keep their schedule to your liking. Please provide a list with your dog's habits so I can make sure they feel at home. Don't hesitate to contact me, I am very flexible with my time, and I will love and care for your dog as my own. I'm currently off from work during the summer and during the school year I only work part time at an elementary school down the road from me (2 1/2 hrs) , So I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I will do anything to make your pup feel comfortable and at home away from home during his stay with me. I love detailed instructions so please feel free to let me know everything about your pet! I have a fenced in yard and 2 children who are huge dog lovers who would love to keep your dog(s) busy and keep them company!

“Natalie is the best! She is kind, on-time, and sent photos throughout the entire process. I felt confident leaving my pets & home in Natalie's care. Will definitely book her for my next vacation, and you should too!”

About: I’ve taken care of cats and small dogs of my own and for friends/family over the years. I offer warmth and patience along with walks, feeding and litter changes when needed. I’m currently employed full time and available to communicate scheduling with you when needed. Weekends work well along with mornings and/or evenings on Mondays and Fridays. I don’t offer in-home pet sitting at the moment but will go to your home if that works for you. Just be thorough with your pets needs for each scheduled visit. I will only administer medication to your pet if it needs to be mixed into their food.

“Nicole did an excellent job caring for our cat Eloise. Followed all instructions to the letter and then some. Very personable and easy to work with. Plan to use her services in the future.”
