About: Hi, I’m Art I’ve spent the past 10+ years immersed in the world of dogs—personally, professionally, and through volunteer work. From working at PetSmart to volunteering in dog rehabilitation programs, I’ve built deep experience with pups of all sizes, temperaments, and needs. I’ve been a proud dog owner for over a decade and a trusted sitter for friends, family, and clients who rely on me for consistent, loving care. Whether your dog needs high-energy playtime, gentle companionship, medication, or just a calm, dependable presence—I’ve got it covered. Dogs aren't just animals to me—they’re family. I treat every dog in my care like one of my own, making sure they’re safe, happy, and loved whether it’s for a walk, drop-in, or overnight stay. You’ll get plenty of updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your dog is in experienced hands. Let’s set up a Meet & Greet—I’d love to meet you and your pup! I work overnights and I am available during the day noon to 9 pm. I am available weekends with some advance notice. Available in house or come to you with notice. I have a fenced in yard that we do not use chemicals on and monitor for pests or plants that are not animal friendly. Home comes stocked with a friendly playful dog, toys, and cat that will probably hide.
About: I’ve taken care of many types of dogs through various experiences. I am responsible and dependable. I have owned dogs my entire life and currently have a 3 year old energetic boxer mix. I trained my own pup from 7 weeks old and attended a 12 week training course with her. Positive tones and patience are key. I love being active and getting outside and can guarantee your dog a happy and active experience! I am a full time teacher! I have summers and other school breaks off. I will be available for dog walking in the afternoons starting May 29th. During the month of June I work summer school but am available for dog walking any time after 1:00 pm. I am looking to help during vacation times and long weekends. For house sitting, I am willing to stay from 7am to 11pm but will not be available for overnights for initial clients. I am available for meet and greets beforehand! I am reliable, dependable, and trustworthy. I will treat your home and animals as I would my own. I have reliable transportation and can be there for your pet several times a day. I love being outdoors and active and would love to walk or run your dog as you see fit. I will send updates including photos and videos to let you know how your pet is doing.
About: I’ve have grown up in a house with both cats and dogs, very comfortable with large breeds of dogs. I take the time to get to know each animal individually. I work full time and have availability usually everyday after 5pm. I am also available anytime on the weekends as I have those off work. I will follow any house rules and will do what I can to make your pets comfortable with me being in their homes to help take care of them in any way that they need.

“When I needed someone to look after my two aggressive Rottweilers while I was out of town, Frank came to the rescue. Despite not having a chance to meet beforehand, Frank agreed to drop in, demonstrating his professionalism and flexibility. From the moment Frank stepped into my home, his professionalism and confidence put me at ease. He provided regular updates, ensuring my Rottweilers were safe and happy. Despite the challenges of handling aggressive breeds, Frank handled them with care and expertise. I'm incredibly grateful for Frank’s dedication, flexibility, and peace of mind he provided. His willingness to go above and beyond, even without a formal introduction, speaks volumes about his commitment to his clients and their pets. I wholeheartedly recommend Frank for anyone in need of reliable and compassionate care for their furry companions.”
