About: Dear dog parents, I'm a big dog lover and I'll assure you I'll love and care for your dog as if it was my own! I'm well educated about dog care as I took some animal classes in high school and a vet assistant course . I have taken care of my own fur baby for 11 years before she passed, she was the cutest feisty chihuahua. I see dogs as a blessing and they truly are angels that become such a wonderful part of our lives. I know and understand how important your fur babies are to you so Im very dedicated to providing the best care possible for them. Sincerely Your friendly dog walker/sitter I'm available most of the time, especially in the mornings but also in the evenings on certain days Please don’t hesitate to contact me for more info. I have a small front and back yard in my apartment and i like going to parks for the walks. The apartment is spacious enough for any dog

“Our Pup had a great time, she was welcomed in and had a great time. Melisa is kind, laid back and Nola had a wonderful time. Her yard is fenced in and a safe environment. Would recommend and will use again”

“We reached out to Mary Jo on short notice when our plans for the day changed and she was a lifesaver. Before booking the stay Mary Jo was great with prompt responses and made us feel like even though we were making last minute plans that our dog Stevie would be thoughtfully cared for. Mary Jo accommodated our schedule well for drop off and pickup, even having Stevie ready for pickup so we could get back on the road quickly. Mary Jo welcomed us into her home and let us see that Stevie was getting settled in well. We could tell right away that her son is a true dog lover and we enjoyed watching him get to know Stevie. When we came to pick Stevie up she was so happy and tired that she could barely keep her eyes open in the car. We could tell she had a great day with Mary Jo and her family!”

“Truc watched our Russell terrier Ozzie for the day when we were in the area on vacation. Ozzie left happy and tired, and had a great time with her lab Calvin. Truc was very responsive and easy to communicate with, took special care to ensure Ozzie adjusted well, and even took him on a special adventure in town. Would highly recommend. Thank you Truc!”

About: I have loved dogs and cats since I was a little kid. Pets really are a gift and I will treat your fur babies like they are my own. I can handle a variety of temperaments and special needs. Just ask! I am a teacher, so currently I am available weekends and weekdays after 3:30pm. Starting June 13th, I will be available week days and weekends. I have a fenced in yard and two 3 year-old pups who love playtime with other pups. I am able-bodied and happy to go on as long of a walk as your pup requires.

“Cayton was amazing with our dogs!!! She was very accommodating to our change in schedule and was super responsive with text and photos. Highly recommend Cayton!!!”

About: Dogs are truly my one passion. I'd love to help you and yours however I can! Growing up I've always had a variety of animals, but right now I have two dogs. Jojo (11yrs) and Libby (4yrs). They are everything to me and it gives me great pleasure to provide for them, ensuring their happiness and well being. I have experience with dogs of all ages, and pets of all kinds! I am a Certified Professional Animal Care Provider (CPACP) through PACCC. You can view my badge at - bcert.me/sizlosuuu ! Giving the highest quality care to your pups is my top priority. I have 8+ years experience in pet care, including 6 years Doggy Daycare Management and Puppy Room experience with puppies under 6 months. For a few years I was assisting in positive reinforcement dog training classes as well. I learned tips and tricks on how to gain attention with your dogs, leash walking skills, and much much more. I'm used to off leash group play (15+ dogs at a time), so dog walking and sitting full time is a bit new for me. But I am so excited to explore this new opportunity with you! I will use the skills I've acquired to ensure your dog is HAPPY and SAFE! I will love your pup just like my own. Looking forward to making memories and I can't wait to meet you all! Full time dog walking/drop ins + "almost" overnight sitting. Making early morning and late night trips to accommodate your pup. My own two dogs just need a regular check in half way through day. Communication is key. I would love to know all of your fur baby's habits and quirks so that I can adjust my routine or plan for the day. I like to do meet and greets before hand so that I can ensure all parties are comfortable and happy! Send me a message to chat with me and let me know what your needs are. I love to take pictures of our adventures together and share them with you as well!

About: We love animals! Energetic young humans and 7 year old (neutered male) pug will play with your dog until we collapse! We have a large unfenced yard with lots of sniffing and exploring space. The yard is regularly treated by Tick Ranger (organic and pet-safe tick spraying). Nobody goes out unleashed ever. Our space for overnight is a large room- crated or uncrated, or are welcome to sleep in the human bed of their choice. Dogs are welcome throughout the first floor during the day. Your dog will feel completely at home at my house or yours! We walk, play and hug. Some Grooming services available- just ask. Unfortunately we can not take pit bulls, pit bull mixes, or border terriers. I am also a caring and experienced cat owner/ caretaker! We have 3 cats of our own (our 17 year old angel Maddy went to the Heaviside Layer June 2021💙) and will care for your cat in your home or ours. Dependable loving care always! And if that wasn’t enough I am also very comfortable feeding/ handling and caring for small reptiles including snakes. We have had our Herman’s tortoise Daisy Arujo for 4 years and love her to death! Available most days- flexible schedule and I keep my Rover calendar updated. About me: 43 year old single mom, works occasionally as a stage manager and at a plant nursery close to my home. We hope to care for your furry family soon! *Please note I do have 2 kids (ages 10 and 6). Both kids are very aware and cautious in how to approach new animals but if your dog is not 100% comfortable with kids we are not the sitters for you. Thank you! I build my schedule around my clients. We like to keep a predictable routine for our guests. I am home most of the day most days! We have a partially fenced yard and all guests stay leashed and well supervised while out! Our pug Winston loves to play and snuggle with our guests. My other part- time jobs are seasonal so I am home and available most days November through May. When my seasonal jobs are active I still am able to take 2-3 clients visits a day around them! I am very good with animals and have very very rarely met one that wasn’t interested in being my friend. All of my repeat clients are always very happy to see me! 🥰 I am always cautious and respectful of your pets’ space and yours and always will leave your house cleaner than I found it! I go above and beyond to make sure your pets’ routine is disturbed as little as possible while you are gone and I make sure they are given extra affection (if they want it!) I will not hesitate to obtain emergency care (with your permission) if your pet needs it.

“Very happy and relieved! I had to book last-minute for my pup when a neighbor had to cancel, and Adriana & Christopher were able to take Lucy at their house for the day. I worry about her because Lucy is a bit of an anxious mess when somewhere new (especially when I’m not around), and she was shaking like a leaf when I left. I felt terrible! But she was very interactive and played with their dog so much that she passed out and slept for hours when we got home! So, so happy and delighted with this experience for my little Lucy!”

About: I have a depth and variety of experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I’ve worked at a doggy daycare, where I handled multiple dogs at once in group settings, giving me valuable experience with a wide range of breeds and personalities. I’m very familiar with reading canine body language and making sure play stays safe and respectful. I’ve also cared for both puppies and senior dogs, so I’m comfortable adjusting my care to their unique needs—whether it’s helping with early training for a new pup or making sure an older dog is comfortable and supported throughout the day. On top of that, I’ve owned and cared for dogs my entire life, which has taught me to be attentive, patient, and genuinely connected to each dog I spend time with. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine. My schedule is currently very flexible and accommodating, which allows me to take on regular walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting as needed. I truly enjoy spending my time with your furry friends, so fitting pet care into my day feels natural and fulfilling, whether it’s a quick walk or an overnight stay. I only offer care in my client’s home, and I always do my best to make sure your pet feels comfortable and safe in their familiar environment. I pay close attention to their behavior, routines, and any specific needs they may have. Whether it’s feedings, walks, playtime, or medications, I follow your instructions carefully and treat your pet and home with the utmost respect and care.

About: I’ve been caring for animals on a farm and riding horses since I could walk. I’ve went to animal and plant science classes and AG mechanics and I’ve walked dogs in my neighborhood since I was 8. I’m comfortable feeding and walking neurological disordered animals since fosters and customers gave me experience and knowledge in. I love reptiles and have much knowledge in caring after fish and I love connecting to these charming and amazing animals. I have a seasonal job, and I love working with animals and caring for fosters when needed so I’m happy to work with your schedule ! I give my pets the best unprocessed food and I follow instructions for the feeding and understand my pets necessities. I love going for hikes and walks or playing with the pups. I would do overnight stays to keep them company and look after the house.

“Joe and his wife were very friendly. They watched Shiloh for about 5 hours while we visited with friends in the area. At pick up, we could tell Shiloh enjoyed her visit and playtime with the family's dog.”

“We loved having Heidi watch our pups! She was professional and caring! Sent us photos and when my pups returned I can tell they had the best time based on how tired they were! We will gladly be using her again!”

“Mary-Ellen took care of our blind Shih Tzu, "Peanut" for the day in her home this past weekend and was just AMAZING with her! She was so interested to find out all the little details ahead of time to ensure that they had a fun and comfortable day. Because of Peanut's special needs, my boyfriend and I are very nervous about leaving her with sitters, but after meeting Mary-Ellen, we felt sure that she would be in the best of hands. Mary-Ellen sent updates throughout the day along with several photos so I could see what fun they were having. Mary Ellen's home is adorable and sparkling clean, and as an added bonus, her daughter and Peanut really hit it off and had a wonderful time together. We would highly recommend Mary Ellen to others and will definitely book her again in the future.”

“Tara and her husband watched my pug for a few hours while we hosted an engagement party at our house. They were sooo kind and kept me updated with cute photos the whole time. Their dog was so sweet and friendly. I would 100% trust them to watch June again — can’t recommend them enough! 😊”
