About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my deep, hands-on experience working with dogs of all ages, sizes, and backgrounds. I volunteered at a local animal shelter throughout high school, logging over 100 hours in one summer, where I helped care for and socialize dogs, including those recovering from neglect or abuse. I also adopted one of these dogs and gave her a safe, loving home. In addition to my shelter work, I founded a high school club called Puppy Club to raise money and collect donations for the shelter. I began college as a pre-vet major, and although I eventually changed my academic path, my passion for animal care has never changed. These experiences have given me the patience, empathy, and responsibility needed to provide thoughtful, dependable care for dogs. This summer I am taking care of my nephew during the days while my sister works until I head off to London in the fall to complete my Master’s degree. I am available in the evenings and on weekends for pet care! Until mid late June I can do weekdays as well!! I prioritize creating a calm, safe, and consistent environment. I stick closely to the pet’s normal routines, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any medications or special instructions. I always take time to get to know each pet’s personality so I can make them feel as comfortable and safe as possible. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and keep things clean and organized. I provide regular updates and photos so owners feel confident their pets are well cared for. I’m also experienced working with dogs who may be shy, anxious, or need a little extra patience, and I approach every situation with empathy and attention to detail.
“I've had Donna walk my dog twice and she was great with her both times! My dog was always excited to see her and she took excellent care of my pup, making sure she had water and opportunities to say hi to other people and dogs. She was also available on really short notice!”
“Jason was on time and took good care of our big dog on all of his walks. This was a repeat booking for us, and we’ll continue reaching out to him!”
“Alexis is awesome! She clearly loves and is comfortable with dogs and connected with my owner-attached dog straight away. She is super friendly and easy to work with. She also is very responsible--she was on time, listened to and executed my exercise requirements for my dog. I will definitely use her again!”
About: I am a D1 athlete, with a 4.0 GPA who loves spending time with animals. Outside of soccer I am a huge help to my parents with our family dog, walking him, feeding him, playing with him, running with him, etc. I am looking to make some money for the summer to help me focus on my studies and athletics during the school year! I will gladly hang out with your pets! I have early morning trainings with my semi-pro soccer team but am free otherwise! I am available for walks, morning, afternoon and evening and will gladly spoil your puppy with lots of attention. I will follow all rules and am a very schedule oriented person and will gladly adhere to your dogs schedule. I will crate your pet if needed and even feed them specific medicines or foods!
About: I believe in maintaining your pet's routine as closely as possible, minimizing stress and making their time without you feel seamless. I'm not just a sitter; I'm a dedicated, compassionate companion who genuinely loves animals and treats every pet as if they were my own. As a teacher, my summers are completely free, making it the perfect time to dedicate myself to pet care. I live only a half block from a large park and am very close to the lake, which is ideal for long walks. I genuinely love walking, so integrating multiple walks throughout the day for your dog is a pleasure, not a chore. This prime location also offers easy access to plenty of green space for playtime and exercise. Services include feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, litter box/cage cleaning, medication administration, and plenty of cuddles. I'll also bring in your mail and water plants, giving you complete peace of mind while you're away.
About: I’ve had dogs throughout my entire life, and currently care for a one year old puppy, a senior rescue dog, and a cat. Since I was 10, I’ve been trusted by neighbors, friends, and family to walk, bathe, feed, and care for dogs of all kinds. I have hands-on experience with everything from energetic and playful puppies to shy, timid senior pets who need extra patience and love. Whether your pet is high-energy or needs a calm, reassuring presence, I’m confident in providing care that fits their unique personality and needs. I’m currently home from college for the summer and working a part-time job from 10 AM - 2 PM. As a pet parent to a young puppy, a senior dog, and a cat, pet care is already part of my everyday routine, and adding more pet care feels natural and fulfilling. Whether it’s a quick walk or a weekend of sitting, I’m happy to fit it into my schedule and treat every pet like they’re my own. I have a fenced in backyard and two social, friendly dogs. I’m a very active person and love to take the dogs out on walks or have playtime. Whether I’m at my home or a client’s, I always prioritize the pets’ comfort, safety, and routine.
