About: I love animals so much, and I understand how nerve wracking it is to entrust your pets’ care with someone else. I grew up owning dogs, and I currently have 2 cats and live with my roommate’s dog. I love the three of them more than anything, and it’s very important to me that anyone who cares for them treats them like family— the same way I do. I can promise that any and all care your pets receive from me will be given with the most love and affection, just like they are my own. I want to make sure that everyone can feel comfortable and confident when outsourcing their pet’s care. I’m happy to walk or care for any type of dog, big or small. I’m comfortable feeding, watering, walking, playing, grooming, cleaning up after, and administering medication for your dog(s). I work from home, so I have a flexible schedule that can accommodate multiple visits or walks throughout the day for your pet. I can also work remotely from your home if you’d like your pet to have a companion for a few hours out of the day while you are away. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to ask about scheduling or any special requirements for your baby; I’m happy to work with you! I look forward to meeting you and your dog! I currently work from home 4/5 days a week, so I’m available Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday to check in on your pet or go on walks throughout the work day. I am also available for visits, walks, and overnight stays on the weekends. I currently own 2 cats and also live in a house with a dog. Throughout the day, I am very experienced with paying close attention to all the pet’s needs whether it be going outside to use the restroom, cleaning the litter box, feeding, playing with, etc. I understand and respect that all pet parents have their own boundaries and rules for their pets, and I’m happy to respect whatever rules and expectations you have in your home when caring for your pet.

“Demmi was great with Percy! We’ve had to contact her super last minute in more than one occasion for doggie walks and her friendliness and flexibility were great.”

“After being injured for more than five months, I no longer had a dog walker, and I had no clue as to what I was going to do. I stumbled across Victoria’s profile, and although I was apprehensive because I have such a large dog, I decided to schedule a meet n greet and go from there. Well I’m so haopy I did! My dog instantly wanted belly rubs from her, and bonded instantly with her. My dog can be difficult because she pulls and tries to chase so many things, but Victoria has been able to ensure that she has safe and long walks daily. I’m truly grateful to have found her.”

“Cece has been really great! She always takes my girl out for an extended stroll in the park and I so appreciate her for it. If there is ever an issue or something that may need your attention she is very commutative. And when ive had unforseen circumstances and needed someone last minute she has definitely come through. I would highly recommend Cece”

“Kacie is fantastic! She stepped in at the last minute and was wonderful with my dogs. She has great communications skills, she's very attentive and connected with well my girls the moment she walked in my home. Her knowledge of dogs and understanding of their personalities really stood out. Honestly, I almost don't want to share how amazing she is and just keep her for my dogs..LOL. I highly recommend Kacie, and we will definitely be booking her again. Thanks Again Kacie!”

“Alex has been our dog walker since I returned to the office full time in March and has been amazing. Our dog loves her, she goes above and beyond while she walks her, and she is an excellent communicator. I couldn’t recommend her enough!”

About: Returning to pet-sitting and walking as I rejoin the freelance world! I've always had a pet in the house, be it a cat or dog. I was the person who got to know the pet and their needs personally and cater to them. With siblings who travel often knowing I'm a pet person, I am often asked to check on their dogs (3 poodles in one household, 2 pugs in another) while they're away. Friends and family have asked for my help with cat care as I am especially versatile with cats. I have experience with pet care in a professional setting as well as I volunteered for my local shelter, caring for both the cats and dogs. Currently, I freelance so my schedule is open to provide for your pet when you need it most! Please contact me to ensure my availability lines up with your needs. I have personal experience with big and small dogs and am comfortable with any size. I also care for a social cat and a shy cat on my own so I'm familiar with respecting cat boundaries and their distinctive needs. I'm also comfortable providing oral or topical medications as well as ear and eye drops.

“Brenna was amazing with Shilo, I did not have to worry at all she sent pictures and kept me up to date on the walks. You can tell she really cares for the pets!”

About: If requesting for dog walking services I can provide leash training and basic obediance if requested. I am comfortable with specific schedules and administrating medication. Hello my name is Christa, we are a military family. I was in the Navy for 7 years and my husband is currently stationed in Indian head. In the past we have owned a dachshund and a westie, so they hold a special place in our hearts, but we love all dogs. In our house your dog will be one of the family. We will give them all the love and snuggles! Must be good with children. I have a 1yo and 4yo. They are very gentle with animals but will still get in their face and want to pet them. We only watch one dog at a time. I am a stay at home mom so your pet will get lots of attention and frequent potty breaks. We also like to go on walks when the weather is not too hot. I usually bring a wagon, incase anyone gets tired. My husband is a couch potato. All dogs love him and are usually snuggling up on the couch with him in the evenings. I currently stay home with my daughter full time so we have all the time to give your fur babies the attention and love they deserve with frequent walks and love. We like to go for many walks around our neighborhood. Our neighborhood is quiet and has many walking trails nearby. We do not go out if the weather is too hot.

About: Hi, my name is Mesha (mee-sha) :) I am a recent college graduate (B.S. in Sociology) and am currently working as a substitute teacher and volleyball coach. I have also been working in Animal Rescue since I was about 10yrs old and plan to continue so I can advocate for those who cannot advocate for themselves. In our rescue, I mostly fostered abandoned cats & kittens, to get them safe, healthy, socialized and ready for forever homes. From there, I began pet sitting and have 10+yrs experience. I have taken care of dogs (all sizes and breeds), cats, birds & a pig :) I am open to just about any animal (farm or domestic and even huskies) although maybe not spiders 😬 I offer both daily checks/feeding and overnights and have helped with feral colonies when caregivers were away. While in college, I was an NCAA athlete, maintained a 3.0gpa, coached and continued to work in rescue. I add that to show I am responsible, flexible and able to prioritize and adeptly manage my commitments. -I have worked in animal rescue for over 10 years, rescuing abandoned animals and helping them recover, and find forever homes. -I have 10+yrs of pet sitting experience. I have pet sat in homes, in my home, daily and overnights. -I am open to all breeds and types of pets/animals. -I have worked with/in single and multiple pet homes. -I have worked with a variety of temperaments, and am open to slow introductions to help a pet get used to me. -I have worked with pets on a special diet and medication. -I can provide daily check-ins, feeding, walks/potty breaks or overnight sitting, long or short term. I am currently working as a substitute teacher and volleyball coach so have a relatively flexible schedule. I am also available most weekends. During the summer and breaks, my days are also mostly available. I adapt my care to the pet & family. Every pet is different and so I first like to meet them and their parents so I can best understand how to make sure the pets feels comfortable with me.I ask for detailed instructions on their schedule, what they like..and don’t like, what makes them comfortable, favorite toys, snacks & etc. I also like to spend a little time with each pet when sitting to play with them and see how they are doing, and help them get used to me. Any in my home sitting is done in my parents home. We have two friendly cats and one dog, who are all used to foster pets in and out of the home. However, we would need a meet & greet prior to any pet sitting to make sure everyone gets along.

About: Hi! My name is Yari. I’ve been an animal lover all my life. I’ve been around mostly large dogs breeds(Multiple Boxers, Multiple Rotties)but I appreciate a fun sized fur baby as well. I am a dog mom to a Jack Russel Tarrier(She’s my World). I have worked at a doggie daycare/boarding so multiple dogs are ok with me. I love taking strolls and enjoying the weather; And if I can do that with your Fur Baby, it’s worth even more. I am very flexible with your needs and the needs of your Furbabies. Any special request that you ask, will most likely be no issue with me. I’m looking forward to get to know your Furbabies and hear from you. Thank you for your time!

About: I have always been a big animal person. I have been pet sitting for friends, family, and acquaintances since I was 13 years old. I have had the privilege of caring for many dogs, cats, and other pets over the years, and I would love the opportunity to care for your pet. I am totally available Monday through Friday all day, most weeks, unless I am out of town for a trip or nannying for a family. I take caring for someone else's pet very seriously. I will always prioritize that animal's safety and care and will remain vigilant when pet sitting or walking to ensure that safety.

About: I have always lived with many pets and would absolutely love to spend time with your furry family members while I am in graduate school! I have had many pets over the years, as well as helping take care of other family members pets, roommates pets, and anyone that is willing to let me spend time with their animals! I am currently taking the majority of my classes online, so I am in my apartment quite a lot. I am willing to help out whenever is convenient for you! I live in an apartment, but there are plenty of places for me to walk any pets around to use the bathroom and get some fresh air!
