About: I've taken good care of 2 dogs for the past 14 years. I have a very large 1 acre yard and live in a quiet neighborhood that is perfect for dog walks. I keep the yard very clean and have a lovely fenced in dog run with artificial turf which I clean daily. The yard and the dog run are always clean so the dogs and guests never accidentally step on doodoo. I am a stay-at-home mom that can easily accommodate various pet schedules. I take care of dogs in my home and can consistently supervise them. I am able to feed the dogs on time, take them out on time, and I keep a good routine day in and day out.

About: I have experience dog walking and dog sitting, most importantly making pets feel comfortable and loved in their temporary new home! I have also fostered kittens until they were ready to be adopted! I am currently at home studying for my graduate school entrance exam, so I’ll have plenty of time to spend playing with your pup! I am available to dog sit any day of the week. I have no other pets at home so your pet will receive all my love and attention! I live in a quiet neighborhood perfect for walks.

“Juliana was great with Beau. She sent pictures frequently, made sure he was actively engaged, and so sweet to work with. I truly appreciated her flexibility and watching him so early in the morning. Definitely will continue to book with her as my dog sitter moving forward!”



About: My wife, Jana, and I have been dog lovers our entire lives. Currently, we're proud parents to our wonderful pup, Lula. Lula is a 75lb Komondor-mix. Recently, we said goodbye to our other beloved senior dog, so we understand the unique needs and joys of older dogs. We'd love to open our home to another dog, if only temporarily, to bring some companionship to Lula and fill our hearts with double joy once again. Rest assured, your furry friend will be treated like family while you're away. We can't wait to welcome them into our home with open arms! Jana and I both work from home, ensuring that there's always someone around during the day to provide company and care for your pet. Occasionally, we may step out for a meal or activity in the evenings or on weekends, but your pet will never be left unattended for more than a few hours at a time. Our cozy home boasts a fenced backyard, providing a safe haven for your pet. We enjoy daily walks in our scenic and relaxing neighborhood, ensuring your dog gets plenty of fresh air and exercise if desired. Our dog Lula is e-collar trained, and is playful with other dogs & humans

About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for pets of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I also have 3 years experience working at 2 different animal hospitals and 3 years experience working at a dog daycare as a client care coordinator and puppy preschool supervisor. Special skills include caring for puppies and their specific needs, caring for senior dogs including administering medications, helping dogs with mobility issues, etc. Dog enrichment is my passion! I have a ton of dog toys (that are cleaned regularly!) and assure you I will find your dogs play style, and maybe even discover a hidden play style you didn’t know about! I am currently pet sitting full time leaving me with plenty of time to play with your pups during the day while you are at work, or for overnight sleepovers during the week & weekend. I am also available for weekday walks or runs with your more active doggos. We are apartment living with quick dog park and dog beach access as well as plenty of access to fenced in yards. Also happy to stay in home depending on the needs of your pet.


About: Hi I'm Taylor! I have been around dogs my whole life! I live in a house with a huge fenced in yard. My puppies (Emmy, Bowser and Felix) and I are willing to bring love, attention, and play to your fur baby. We have several parks nearby that we walk to and play on a daily basis. I work from home during the weekday, so will be home throughout the day to care for your dog or cat. Your pet will be in good hands under my care. Emmy Bowser and Felix are very friendly and haven’t met a dog they don’t love. I also have a two year old daughter who loves dogs, but your dog must be good with young children. I work from home so I can easily let your dog out for potty breaks throughout the day and take them for walks on a break I have a fenced in yard and a crate if needed. My dogs sleep in the bed with me so that’s fine if that is what your dog is used to
