About: I’ve spent a lot of time caring for my boyfriend’s dog and cat, so I’m comfortable with different routines and personalities. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals. As a college student, I’m responsible and reliable, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’ll always make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. 🐶🐱 Pet care fits well into my routine as a side hustle alongside my part-time job. I’m good at managing my time and can be flexible with walks, drop-ins, and sitting depending on the day. I make sure every pet gets my full attention and never overbook, so your pet’s care is always a priority. I provide care in my client’s home since I live in a dorm. I always follow your instructions closely and stick to your pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure. I’m careful about safety, keep doors and gates locked, and make sure your home is respected and left just as I found it. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs and treat them like my own. 🐶🐱

About: My first time taking care of a dog and house sitting was in 2018. It was one of the best experiences I've ever had. Even though the pandemic has changed how we live our lives, I am definitely looking forward to getting back to Dog walking or sitting. I currently work full-time. I can be available on the weekends. The morning or even the afternoon works well with me. I can also try to change my schedule if needed. I follow any instructions given to me on how to care for a pet. I have and will treat them as if they were mine.

About: Since I work from home I am able to be extremely attentive to your pet. I also have experience working at a doggy daycare so I’ve worked with all types of dogs. My dog also loves to play with other dogs and is very sweet. Since I already have a dog, I have plenty of experience caring for pets inside and outside of my home. My wfh home job is pretty flexible so I can easily attend to your dogs needs. I have a fenced yard and a huge park near by for long walks. I already walk my dog twice a day and provide plenty of play time in my backyard.

Minyon us SUPER accommodating. Even with my hectic schedule and several emergencies at once, she understood and gave me grace through every step of the process. When my pups met her, they instantly fell in love with her. She sent videos and pictures every visit and made sure to take them on nice long walks... which my pups love. I would ABSOLUTELY book with Minyon again!

About: As a proud dog auntie (not a dog mom!), I’ve spent years caring for the dogs in my family and friend circle—everything from energetic puppies to senior pups who need a gentler pace. I’m comfortable with walks, feedings, playtime, basic routines, and keeping dogs calm and happy while their owners are away. I always focus on patience, safety, and giving each dog the same warm, reliable care I’d want for my own family’s pets. Currently I work part time so my schedule is mornings up until 1 PM, evenings after 5:30 PM, and flexible on weekends. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine! Pets have safe access to my fully fenced yard, with entry only through the house. I keep dangerous items out of reach and supervise at all times, ensuring a secure, comfortable space for every pet whether in my home or yours.

About: Hi l'm Christian, I have 8 years of pet experience. I own a pitbull named Zeus. So I can handle any pet situation.

Very communicative. She played with the cat, fed her and took out the litter. Would have her come again. She even bought more napkins when I ran out. Kitty looks healthy and happy when coming home. Amazing and followed all instructions clearly and asked all the right questions

About: I own a dog myself, I’ve had him for 7 years. I’ve taken care of many different animals and walked dogs big and small around my neighborhood, and always been around and grew up around dogs my whole life. I currently work part-time at a restaraunt , but I work nights. I am available every day starting at 10AM, but if you live in germantown I can do even earlier. I have plenty of time to care for your beloved pets and I would love to care for them as much as I care for mine:) I have a backyard, and I live in a town house. We have big fields around my house and I have puppy play pens, and we are smoke and alcohol free house and we don’t have any plants so your animal won’t accidentally eat something.

About: Hello! We are RuthAnn and Brandon, a husband and wife duo of lifelong dog lovers. We know that your dog isn’t just a pet… they are FAMILY! That’s why when your pup stays with us they aren’t just “guest dogs” they become a part of our family too. Plus there’s two of us so this means TWICE the love and attention of a regular sitter :) A little bit about us: We are the proud “aunt and uncle” to our family dogs, West and Sadie. We’ve added them to our profile so you can get to know more about them there. While they don’t live with us they visit us often and they are very friendly, so if they happen to be over during your pups stay, that just means more friends to play with! I am currently a nursing student in my last semester and my husband works in sales! So one of the biggest perks of booking with us is that our schedules are flexible. At least one of us is always home. So your pup will have constant companionship, potty breaks and plenty of belly rubs thought the day. We also have a large fully fenced yard that’s perfect for zoomies or a game of fetch! We want you to have total peace of mind when you book with us, so we offer meet and greets prior to booking, as well as regular updates, photos and videos of all the fun your dog is having. We can’t wait to meet your furry best friend! Seamlessly because we are home based and flexible. Between the two of us, your dog will have constant supervision and a routine tailored to their needs! We live in a fully fenced home so your pup has full access to a safe fenced yard for supervised play of course. Because Brandon and I are home, your pup gets a perfect balance of activity and rest. We follow your specific feeding and medications to a T (we know how important this is) and we love to provide plenty of belly rubs and cuddles on the couch. We keep a tidy dog proofed home and we keep fresh water available at all times!! We are a team that’s big on communication so you’ll receive daily updates with photos and videos so you can see exactly what your baby is up to. If your dog enjoys company, we love to facilitate play, if they are on the shyer more timid side and prefer one on one time, we can accommodate for that as well.

Such a great spirit and understanding of our dogs needs and temperament. She went above and beyond, playing basketball with him in the cold and recognized when he was stressed. She was great in cleaning behind our dog and following instructions to T in locking up the property.
