About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 13 years old for friends, neighbors, and family members. I am comfortable will all dog breeds and ages, and have experience with many different types of dogs. I have previously worked for a small pet sitting/dog walking business as both a pet sitter/walker and office manager. I, myself, have an older German Shepard that needs frequent play time and takes medicine daily; I am very comfortable administering medicine to dogs. I am currently taking online college classes to obtain my bachelor's in Kinesiology. I do have a job as a personal trainer/group instructor and admin for a small gym in the area. I am available early mornings before 8am and afternoons after 1pm. I have experience in homes with and without fences, with dogs who are and are not crate trained and very comfortable, and experienced, with calm and excited dogs.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a teenager and have experience with a wide variety of breeds and personalities. Currently, I have a 4-year-old German Shepherd/Lab mix and a 4-month-old Jack Russell Terrier. Over the years, I’ve owned and cared for German Shepherds, Beagles, Pit Bulls, Jack Russells, Labradors, and Schnauzers, and at one point had as many as six dogs. I’ve also owned a cat and have experience caring for cats as well. Friends frequently trust me to pet sit for them, and I genuinely love spending time with animals. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, playful, or needs a little extra patience, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I also am a Volunteer Dog walker and caregiver at Columbia Animal Shelter. I have a very flexible schedule and am committed to providing reliable, attentive care while you’re away. I’m currently in the army and work 2-3 days a week.my husband stays at home full time. I have a very flexible schedule. I care for every pet as if they were my own. In my client’s home, I follow their pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and plenty of attention and affection. I know how important consistency is for pets, especially when their owners are away. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean, and supervised environment with regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, fresh water, and lots of love. I pay close attention to each pet’s individual needs, personality, and comfort level to help them feel secure and happy.

About: With over 5 years of experience, I’ve cared for everything from 8-week-old puppies to seniors needing end-of-life care. I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes—from tiny lap dogs to 100+ lb giants—and can easily match any energy level, from zoomy pups to mellow seniors. As a college student on summer break, my schedule is wide open! I have plenty of time to give your furry friends the love, attention, and care they deserve. I exclusively provide care in your pet’s own home through walks and check-ins, keeping them comfortable in their routine. I’m reliable, respectful of your space, and always prioritize safety and trust.

About: Originally from North Italy I have hands-on experience working with dogs through my role as a K9 Search and Rescue Coordinator in Germany before moving here not long ago, where I trained and handled dogs in obedience, tracking, and real-world scenarios. This experience taught me how to stay calm, patient, and attentive while ensuring each dog’s safety and well-being. I’m currently studying Veterinary Medicine, which allows me to better understand animal health, behavior, and care. With over 18 years of experience in customer service and working with people, I bring strong communication, reliability, and attention to detail to every pet I care for. I treat every dog like family and always follow their routine closely to make them feel safe and comfortable. I’m also fluent in English, Spanish, Italian, and French, making communication easy for a wide range of pet parents. I offer reliable weekday availability focused on dog walks and drop-in visits. I’m building pet care as my full-time focus, which allows me to provide consistent, on-time care Monday through Friday. I’m available for daily walks, feeding visits, and check-ins, and I’m happy to maintain your pet’s routine while you’re at work or away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. With my experience in K9 search and rescue and my ongoing studies in veterinary medicine, I’m trained to stay calm, attentive, and responsive in any situation. I understand animal behavior and how to provide safe, structured, and stress-free care in your home. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions. During walks and visits, I make sure pets get the right balance of exercise, attention, and care. My goal is to keep your pet happy and give you peace of mind while you’re away. I provide updates and photos after each visit so you always know how your pet is doing.

We honestly can’t say enough good things about Gabrielle! She’s patient, kind, and just “gets” them in a way that puts us completely at ease. She’s always on time, super consistent, and quick to respond. Our dogs adore her, and so do we!

Angel is truly an angel. She is responsible and punctual. She took care of my cat Nusa for around two weeks. She answered all my texts and updated me on Nusa’s well being. She made sure Nusa has food and water at all times. I will definitely hit her up next time we are out of town.

Kristin did a fantastic job taking care of my dogs while I was traveling for work. I was a little nervous at first since they’re both large and can be strong on the leash, but she handled them great and even helped my lab improve his leash walking. I had total peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. Highly recommend!

About: I have had animals for my entire life and have been pet sitting for the past 8 years. I also worked for an animal rescue where I cared for dogs of all sizes with all different types of needs. I can feed, walk, bathe, brush, give meds, and most anything else! I have so much love for animals and hope you choose me to share it with yours! I am currently a nursing student with great flexibility! I only have classes for a few hours a day, 3 days a week. At home, I care for my 2 cats, Great Dane, and bearded dragon daily. I have a safe, pet friendly home (including an extra bedroom) with friendly cats and a dog who gets along with everyone. I have a large, unfenced backyard.
