About: As a lifelong pet lover and dedicated dog owner, I bring over 25 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds and personalities. Growing up with dogs and providing loving care for my own, I understand the importance of trust, reliability, and companionship in pet sitting. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or overnight care, I ensure each pet feels safe, happy, and well-cared for. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority! I am flexiblemost hours of the day for dog walking. I believe dogs need a routine and consistence times they get to go on walks or play or go to the bathroom. I provide loving, attentive, and personalized care whether in my home or yours. In my home, pets enjoy a safe, comfortable, and engaging environment with plenty of playtime, exercise, and affection. I maintain their daily routines, ensuring they feel at ease. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize familiarity and consistency, following their regular schedule to reduce stress. I also offer basic home care like bringing in mail and maintaining a tidy space. My goal is to provide a seamless, worry-free experience, keeping pets happy and owners updated with regular check-ins and photos.

About: While I don’t have a yard, I enjoy taking pets on walks and have great grassy areas nearby for exercise and playtime. I also have a 3-year-old cat, so I’m experienced in providing care and attention for both cats and dogs. I’m a full-time student with a part-time job, but I make time for pet care because I love it. I’m available on weekends and occasionally on weekdays, depending on my schedule. Your pet’s needs will always be a priority when I’m available! While I don’t have a yard, I ensure pets get plenty of exercise and playtime with walks in nearby grassy areas. I also have a 3-year-old cat, so I’m comfortable caring for both cats and dogs. I’m happy to care for pets in their own homes, where they can feel safe and at ease in a familiar environment.

About: I have a lot of patience and love for animals. I also have experience taking care of children, I like to offer quality time and basic care I work part time from Monday to Friday, I regularly have time on weekends from Fridays. I can work at night, I have no problem staying at your house if the pet's owners go on a trip I always communicate openly and I like to follow the instructions to meet basic needs and offer a quality service. I love my job and I always like to give my best

About: Hi, I'm Marissa - I love dogs of all shapes and sizes, but especially the big goofy ones (I recently lost my Great Dane to cardiomyopathy). Further, if your border collie needs a running buddy, I'm your person! Helping get dogs physically and mentally fulfilled so they can be their best selves is something I've spent years researching and learning about. I can't wait to meet your pup! I'm currently working part time, and able to take in drop-in visits with fairly short notice. I'm also training for a 10k, so having a four-pawed running buddy would make my runs even better! While I don't offer in-home services, understanding your dogs "vibe" is incredibly important. I know how to take cues from their energy and build up our relationship from there.

“I would give Margarita more stars if I could. She was so conscientious paying attention to what Luna ate, playing with her, and sending detailed messages. She was extremely nice, responsive and really cares about cats. A really top sitter!”


“Khadija was an amazing sitter for my weekend away. She sent pictures and videos very check-in and my cats who are typically very shy around new people were very friendly with her!”


About: I’ve grown up with dogs all my life, from little dogs to big dogs, friends dog’s and family dogs as well and I very much enjoy their company and love taking care of them! I have experience caring for dogs with all types of personalities and would love to have the opportunity to spend time with your dog! I am currently working from home during the week and no work on the weekends, I am available all day on weekends and preferably afternoons during the week. Depending on your dog’s needs, weekly daily stays might fit on my schedule since I am working from home! you can rest assured that your dog will be saved in my home! We live in a very quiet neighborhood and there is lots of grass for your pet to walk on! As well as a pet park and dog wash where I live!

About: I grew up with dogs, currently own two cats, and had a bearded dragon for almost a decade! I even worked at a local animal shelter for two years, giving me experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I also have experience with senior animals, especially administering any special medications including injectable medicines, as my own cat has diabetes and receives insulin shots twice a day. I’m a journalist in the horror entertainment field, my work schedule is incredibly flexible, which lets me stop by and check on your pets whenever you need. There’s no better excuse for getting away from a screen than walking a dog or hanging out with a cat! It really depends on the animal and what they need to feel comfortable! I go into every pet interaction knowing that I’m on that animal’s turf and I need to get to know them before expecting them to be happy/comfortable with me.

About: I have 3 dogs, two 14 year old Labrador retrievers and a 5 year old Labrador retriever. I have trained and taken care of my younger dog and continue to provide senior care for my older dogs. This has given me experience with all ages and a diverse range of doggy needs. I currently have an internship from 9-5 but am willing to do any work after 5 including dog walking, delivering care, and dog sitting. I already take care of my three dogs and would happy to accommodate any other dogs into my schedule. In my home, my dogs are walked twice daily and fed twice a day. They are treated with love and respect, helping them to enjoy their all too short life. I will treat my clients with that same respect and hopefully be able to interact with your furry friends!

“Rebecca took great care of our cat while we were away, providing regular updates and photos, and gave her lots of TLC! Very easy to communicate with. Would love to have Rebecca cat sit again!”


About: I have had experience with animals before especially dogs, When I had a dog before I took care of him for 7 years, those years I treated him with a lot of care, and made sure he was always good and played with him when he wanted to, I really loved him, and taking care of him for 7 years taught me a lot about dogs! Usually I have nothing to do after work on Fridays and also the weekends, and plus my caretaking abilities I have a lot of time to spend with your pet and be there when they wanna play or/and go outside! I’m available to sit on any holidays (ex. Christmas) The dog whenever it wants will be able to go outside with me and go on a walk or just play in a near by park, or can also play in the backyard or front yard, it can also just roam around the house if it wants, but whenever they want to go outside for anything I’ll be there to take them out for a walk and I’ll also make sure to keep them safe.

About: Hello! My name is Ashley and I’d love to walk and care for your dog. I’ve had dogs all my life and I currently have 2. I walk my dogs everyday and love playing with them. I have experience taking care of dogs and understanding their needs. I’m a full time college student so when I’m at school weekends are when I’m most available. I have availability during the week will just depend on the days. I am happy to work with you and compromise where I can! I believe all dogs deserve love and respect in the home. I make sure the feeding schedule is consistent and that the dogs get outside time and at least one walk a day as someone with a fenced in yard. In terms of pet sitting I believe it’s important to clean after myself and the pets while in their home.
