About: I've worked with animals since I was a child, and have had experience petsitting, volunteering in shelters, as well as working in a vet office. I am fully remote and comfortable giving medications, walking and cuddling pets of all sizes, and making sure that your pet is in a safe, fun environment. My work is fully remote which gives me great flexibility in caring for your pet. I will be able to give your pet the attention and care they need. I am comfortable staying with or boarding your pet for the entire stay and will make sure they receive several outings and play times. I'm very careful to follow any schedules that are needed, and am happy to send you lots of pictures and videos of your pet having a great time!

About: I've pet sit for my friends dogs and have raised a corgi puppy from 10 weeks old! I love dogs and will treat yours like mine. I have a playful and friendly corgi who plays well with all dogs. Plus I give excellent scratches. I will send a bunch of photos, as long as you don’t mind me spamming you with them! We do at least 3 walks a day, dog parks after work, and fun adventures on the weekends. Normally we eat breakfast around 8:30, go for a potty walk, and play. During the weekday, I take them out every 4 hours and do mental puzzles at home. If the weather is nice, we will go to a nearby dog park. On weekends, we tend to go out for outdoor adventures if the weather is nice I live in an apartment with ample walking nearby. Super dog friendly neighborhood. We have space to set up crates if needed. I am a neat person and will clean up after myself and the dogs.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was 15. I absolutely adore animals of all kinds. I would love and care of them as if they were my own fur baby. As a cottage baker, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets I care for throughout the week. Since I currently can’t have pets in my own home full-time, I genuinely love using my free time to spend time with furry friends! Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, or just a calm companion during the day, I’m happy to fit their routine into my schedule and give them lots of love and attention. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away. I take pet care instructions seriously and do my best to maintain your pet’s normal routine to help reduce stress and keep them happy. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual personality, energy level, and needs, and I always prioritize safety during walks, feeding, playtime, and downtime. With over 15 years of pet care experience, I’m comfortable caring for pets with special routines, medications, or senior care needs as well.

She also truly seems to be such a dog lover and we’ve felt very comfortable leaving our dog in her care. We will certainly be using her again!

We are grateful to Andrew for taking care of our dogs, Roscoe and Luna! He did an amazing job looking after them. They had a wonderful day filled with relaxation and fun, and it was clear that they felt comfortable and happy in his care. Andrew provided updates during the day showing our dogs enjoying their time away from home. We highly recommend Andrew as a dog sitter.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was around 6-7 years old. I am very good with seniors and medium to extra large dogs. Currently I have a Great Pyrenees who is ~155 pounds and a mixed golden who is around 115 pounds. The golden has bad allergies so has quite a strict diet and requires daily medication, meaning I have experience giving medicine to dogs when needed. I am a college student who is back for the summer. As of right now I do not have a part time or full time job so I have a very flexible and open weekly schedule. I have a large backyard that is fully fenced in, as well as two other dogs who are both very calm and do extremely well with other dogs. Additionally I have many different stuffed animals, toys, and more which the dogs can play with if they want to.

We booked Grace for a very last-minute daycare session, and we couldn’t be more grateful that we found her. Our dog Miso is quite sensitive and anxious, so we’re always cautious about new caregivers—but she seemed incredibly comfortable with Grace right away. She has such a calming, kind energy, and it was no surprise to hear that Miso adjusted so well and felt at ease in her care. Knowing she was safe, relaxed, and well looked after gave us so much peace of mind. We’re truly grateful for Grace’s care and would highly recommend her to anyone, especially those with dogs who need a gentle and patient sitter. 🐾💛

About: Hi! I’m Cheyenne, a lifelong dog lover, neuroscience researcher (spinal cord injury repair), and dog mom of 7 years. I prioritize long, enriching walks with my dog Saint (we average ~10K steps/day) and plenty of playtime. I’m attentive, gentle, and safety-focused, with years of caregiving experience from babysitting. I can’t wait to meet your pup and treat them like my own. I work from home and can offer flexible hours during both weekdays and weekends. Early mornings, lunchtime walks, and evening drop-ins are all possible—just message me with your preferred timing. I live in a clean, nonsmoking apartment and have one friendly small dog. Visiting pups must be potty trained and comfortable around other dogs. I use secure leashes/harnesses, never walk off-leash outside fenced areas, and follow your feeding, crate, and medication routines precisely. Meet-and-greets and up-to-date vaccines are required for everyone’s safety.

About: Two years ago, I found my dog Lucki lost during a snow storm as a four month old puppy. After failed attempts of trying to locate his owners we decided to take him in. I had no experience with pets prior to Lucki and he has taught me so much in a short period of time! For two years we have educated ourselves on the best practices for dog owners and implemented them in our daily routine! We frequently watch friends and family members pets during. vacations, or during the day! They have relied on us to walk, feed, and bathe their furry friends and have been very satisfied. I currently work as a full-time freelance photographer which means my schedule is extremely flexible. My sessions usually last no more than 3hrs and rarely take me more than an hour away from home. I tailor my work schedule around my dog's daily routine. My dog Lucki's current feeding routine is breakfast at 8:00am, and dinner at 6:00pm. Lucki also gets three walks daily, two 30-minute walks in the morning and evening and one 15-minute walk in the afternoon. I currently live in an apartment with one dog, we make frequent trips to the fenced in dog park and walking trails in our neighborhood! When leaving the apartment I crate, the dogs and prioritize returning within 2-3 hours. I don't crate overnight or during or during the day unless there is a service provider entering my home.

Shizuka was absolutely wonderful with Mayo! It was a gloomy, rainy day, and Shizuka went above and beyond to make sure he was mentally stimulated and happy. Instead of just sitting around, she engaged him with indoor dog puzzles and interactive games to burn off his energy. Mayo came home tired and content, which is the best sign of a great day! If you're looking for a sitter who is attentive, creative, and truly cares about your pup's well-being, I highly recommend Shizuka. We will definitely be booking with her again!

They made our Goldie feel welcome and provided her with canine and human companionship for the day, sharing photos of Goldie's day. We highly recommend them.

Yasmine is the best! I had taken my dog to an indoor doggie daycare, and it very clearly overwhelmed him. I needed to find an alternative quickly, which is how I found Yasmine. From the start, she answered all my questions - even the ones I didn’t know I had - and immediately made me feel at ease about leaving my dog in her care. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals and is very attuned to their needs. Murphy absolutely loves going to Yasmine’s, and I feel so happy knowing he’s in good hands and actually enjoying his day while I’m at work.
