About: I have experience with large and giant breeds including Belgian Malinois, Husky, Labrador and Great Pyrenees. As I'm familiar with the needs of a big, high-energy dog (ones who are stubborn and get destructive if under-stimulated), I'm able to handle situations like pulling on the leash and giving them a structured environment. I have my own pup, a Great Pyrenees, and you can rest assured I will be treating your dog just as well, if not better, than my own. I have a flexible work schedule, and most of my time outside of work is dedicated to my two pets, a Great Pyrenees and cat. Your pet will fit right into my schedule! I have an unfenced backyard with a patio that I’ll hang out on, perfect if your pet loves sniffing about. There will be plenty of toys around the home to keep your pet occupied — I've got anything from treat-dispensing and squeaky toys to lick mats and super-chewer tough toys, they can take their pick! My neutered Great Pyrenees is friendly and will give your pet a warm welcome to our home. He is lazy, has a very low prey drive and likes to sleep but is always down for a good time if initiated by the other pet. My spayed cat is sweet and does her own thing. She has her own room! If I stay in your home, you can rest assured that I will be a dream guest, as I will ensure that I leave no trace!
“I work long hours at a stressful job, so having a reliable, caring walker for my fur kiddo is invaluable to me. Elizabeth has exactly what we needed. She is prompt and communicative, and she takes good care of my pup. I highly recommend adding her to your pack!”

“My dog liked Chloe immediately and I wasn’t afraid to leave him. She arrived promptly for his walks and spent the entire time with him each time, posting pictures of each visit. He was a happy dog when I got home, not at all needy. I will call Chloe again!”

About: Providing cuddlles and care is pawsitively the best, I love watching, walking, or caring for your pets. I enjoy playing with and being around dogs in general. I have a moderate amount of personal experience with dogs, I've been bathing and caring for my personal and family's dogs for 10 years. I know how to administer basic meds, bathe, walk, or care for dogs. I know what to do in most cases if the animal is sick while it's under my care. I have experience with small to large dogs while walking or dog sitting. If I was to dog sit or walk your dogs they would be treated with the best service to keep them safe and happy. I would be happy to care, play, and keep there tails wagging while watch your dog with the best of my ability. I’m currently working a full time job and I’m want to help people by watching there animals and walking dogs after I get done working I can help with feeding and giving the pets water, taking them to the bathroom, giving meds, cleaning up after the pet and playing with them

About: I've had pets my entire life, and I love getting to interact with animals of all kinds. I've helped take care of a few family cats and dogs over the years, with the most recent being my mom's dog Athena. I've spent many nights over to watch her while my mom has to be away. I work a full time job at a nursing home, with a slightly strange schedule. I'm off every other weekend and each week switches between me being off on Tuesday or Thursday. It depends on the pet. I've had to deal with a very stubborn dog, and escape artist, and a few other interesting personalities. Each one has to be cared for in slightly different ways. It also depends on the rules set by the owners. I don't want to do something that would go against what an owner has taught their pet unless it was abusive.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my entire life, always thought about being a vet but it never happened. I am in the medical field, I just help humans instead. I believe dogs are the most loyal animal you could have I your home. The love they give is unmatched, no judgment on us humans, they love us unconditionally. I’m currently not working due to the pandemic, I’m home all day taking care of my dog. I have time for your fur baby all day. I have a house with a fenced yard. I live in a great area as well. I have a fenced yard that’s a decent size. I let my dog out several times a day, sometimes we take car rides. I rarely use a kennel but if your pet is not house trained or can get destructive, I would recommend you bring a crate in the event I have to run to the store or something.

About: Hi there! My name is Liane, and I’ve spent most of my life and career caring for animals with love and expertise. I worked as a veterinary technician at a non-profit low-cost clinic for 7 years, where I cared for sick pets, assisted veterinarians during treatments and surgeries, and administered medications. Before that, I had the unique experience of working at a zoo after earning my Bachelor’s degree in Biology. I’m experienced in handling pets with special requirements and ensuring their health, comfort, and happiness in both professional and casual settings. With me, your pets will receive attentive, compassionate, and knowledgeable care. I particularly enjoy caring for pets that are exotic or require a little extra attention. I pride myself on being responsible, punctual, and active. Your pet’s happiness and wellbeing are my top priorities, and I’m dedicated to giving them exceptional care and companionship. If my schedule works for you, I’d be delighted to meet you and your pets to see if we’re the perfect match. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns—I’d love to chat! I work full-time Monday through Friday but am available during evenings and weekends to care for your pets. The amount of time I can dedicate will depend on the distance, so proximity will play a key role in my availability. I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable in the environment they know best. My goal is to minimize any added stress while you’re away by maintaining their regular routine and keeping them in familiar surroundings. Sticking to their daily schedule as much as possible is a simple yet effective way we can ensure they feel safe, loved, and secure in your absence.

About: I have been a Farm Caretaker for over 5 years. I have extensive experience caring for dogs, cats, bunnies, goats & chickens, and limited experience caring for horses. I am comfortable administering various medicines and trimming goat hooves. I have a 9yr old Aussy Shepherd Service Animal, who is my best friend and who I also trained myself. I take pride in understanding animal speak. They tell us what they need if we listen! Each morning, our pup Foster dashes out the back door 1st thing for morning sniffs, our kitty Pepper lingers behind. They quickly trade places so Pepper can sip her morning dewy water in peace, while Fosty woofs down his expected breakfast inside. And by this time, we hear a rattle at our bunny Rupert’s pen, as he tells us it’s obviously time for his favorite morning pellets! Another morning in the life:) Daily, I play fetch with my dog son in our spacious back yard. We also take walks in the neighborhood & the park nearby. Kitty gets outdoor time at her request each day. Bunny enjoys free-roaming the house each day. All of our animals co-exist in peace, & even playfulness:) I respect & adhere to systems you may have in place to keep peace & balance:)

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
