About: I have taken care of my own and all of my family members pets for many, many years. Not only dogs and cats but also snakes, birds, mice, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils, fish, lizards and chinchillas. My family was always saving animals and had a great love for all animals. I am pretty open and retired and looking to spend time with animals. I prefer a smaller breed of dogs if needing to walk for safety reasons. If a fenced in yard is provided, I would be open to larger dogs as well. I will not be caring for other pets in my home. I will be available to do drop in visits for most animals and walks.

“Tessa was great - right on time and flexible with pickup and drop off locations. She was very friendly and Elvis had a great walk. Highly recommend!”

About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was five years old and continued to get more dogs. I have dog sat for multiple friends and family rating from dogs and cats. As far as training animals, I did grow up with having to train them so I do have some experience. I am currently working part time and go to community college but will be able to manage and work out a schedule that will be accommodating. I have 3 dogs that have invisible fences outside so they can roam free without getting lost, going to the road, running off. I have a big yard surrounding my house so they are used to running around freely. When it gets too cold they come in to the house or garage with my father. I am used to walking dogs as they do get walked on occasion at home or if we have them out of the house. I do not off offer services that welcome pets into my house but I am accommodating as necessary and will offer services at your residency.

About: I’ve been in the dog service industry for about 4 and a half years now. I spent the first few training and working at a prestigious dog boarding facility. There I strengthen my skills and knowledge of dog behaviors and body language. The past year I have worked on receiving my CCPDT certification. I am trained to provide a variety of medications as well as handle emergency medical situations. After the last few years pet care has been routine for me. After work I usually let my parents dog out or a dog that is boarding with me. I’ve taken them on walks before my shift in the morning. I always try to make sure that the dogs are mentally stimulated with a puzzle or some sort of enrichment even a walk can not fit into our schedule. I am always mindful of the dog and what behaviors they’re providing me. If they’re not running up to the door with very open loose “happy” body language, I will take my time and give them the space they need to adjust to my presents. A lot of dogs need time to warm up and many people do not give them the needed space to do so and it’s how we end up with these “bad dogs” which they actually aren’t.

“Mary walked my dog Willo (2 years, some puppy energy, 50lb) for three weeks while I was out of town. We had great communication the whole time and Mary was proactive about helping me keep Willo’s paws comfortable in the snow. We had a great experience with her and would book again!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life. We have a 2 year old golden puppy who is treated as if she’s part of the family. She is soo loved and so spoiled. I also worked at a groomers shop so I have a lot of experience with different dogs. I am currently working part time and attending short days at college four days a week. I have a lot of free time though and especially on my weekends I have a lot of time At home my dog has a perimeter collar so she is free to wander about our yard as she wishes. When I am dog sitting I always have the dog on a leash and I stay outside with them the entire time they are outside

“Loved having Abby walk my dog! She was very responsive and sent lovely photo updates of my pup during their walk.”

“Nicole was so great with my dog Brady! Will definitely be booking with her again!”

Pet owners can trust that their dogs will receive reliable, attentive, and compassionate care with me. I have a flexible schedule and can provide reliable pet care throughout the week. I am available for walks, drop-ins, and overnight care depending on your pet’s needs. My experience working in a veterinary and kennel setting has made pet care a natural part of my daily routine, and I prioritize consistency, safety, and attention for every animal I care for.

About: Hello! My name is Kerin, and caring for dogs has always been a passion deeply rooted in my family. My family and I run a rescue organization, Pooches Out of Puerto Rico, where I’ve had the opportunity to work with dogs of all temperaments and needs—from playful, energetic companions to those requiring extra patience due to fear, trauma, or pain. With extensive hands-on experience, I am dedicated to providing compassionate, reliable care for every dog as if they were my own. Whether your pet needs daily walks, playtime at the park, or personalized attention while you’re away, I am committed to making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Whether you’re planning a long vacation or just a quick getaway, I would love to help care for your furry family members. Fenced yard or not, I can accommodate your dog’s individual needs and routine. And of course, you can always expect photo updates while you’re away for peace of mind! Please feel free to DM me so we can discuss scheduling and create the perfect care plan for your pets. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged family members! DM me so we can chat about scheduling you a vacation whether it’s a long, extravagant trip or a short sweet little trip. I’m your girl and can’t wait to hear from you!

About: I’ve had pets my whole life! I’ve had a great range of dogs, from big breeds like Mastiffs and small breeds like Jack Russel Terriers. I’ve also had cats that have ranged from little angels to fluffy devils, so I have experience!! I currently have an old little chihuahua, pictured above, that is very friendly with animals and people! I would love to take her along pet sitting if able to! Outside of my home, I’ve done lots of pet sitting! Much like my own animals, this has been with a large variety as well!! I am looking for some side work! I have a flexible schedule so I can pop in throughout the day to care for the animals! When I am trusted with the care of your pet, that will become my top priority. Pets are more than just pets, they are your best friend and your family. I will be attentive to their needs, and do my best to show them love while you are away.

About: I have worked with herding dogs, guard dogs, sled dogs, service dogs, and pets of all ages. I treat dogs with patience and compassion and believe in training the individual dog in front of me with their owner’s goals at the forefront! I have thousands of hours of hands on experience and countless hours researching training and animal behavior. I am a self-employed artist so my schedule is very flexible. I am happy to go into more detail about my living habits and daily schedule. My dog doesn’t “get into” anything he shouldn’t— including “stealing” his own food and treats, but through experience with my own puppies and client dogs I am well versed in taking extensive precautions to ensure the safety of animals in my home. I will not allow client dogs off leash but I have a 50 foot leash that is excellent for hiking with dogs. I am very observant of potential health issues/injuries. I am happy to expand upon the safety measures I take.
