“The pups had a great time! I could tell from the look on their faces on the adorable pics sent to me while I was away. No complaints and I have plans to request Brionna again in the future!”

About: I’ve raised and taken care of dogs since I was a little girl. My family and I have always had rescue dogs and continue to rescue. I rescued my most recent pup since she was less than a year old. I truly have a love for dogs and treat each one I come across as my own. I’m very comfortable with small to mid size dogs. Open to large dogs as well. Hope to meet you and your fur baby soon :) I have a flexible schedule. During the weekday I’m available usually afternoon and evenings and on the weekends I’m available anytime. Mornings, and afternoons preferred. Thank you. Currently unable to care for pets in my house but if at client’s residence it depends on the space. Comfortable with leash or leash less environment for the dogs. Depends on client’s preference.

“Lindsay is a solid and reliable pet sitter. She has house sat and walked my dogs for me several times, and I could rest easy knowing that my house and pets were in good hands.”

“Morty is always excited to see Marby when she comes to walk him! She saved us and was able to come on such short notice within a few hours and walk him. Really appreciate it!”

About: I love animals and have a lot of experience with dogs and even taking care of the cat and her kittens that come to my house and stay in the back. Im very adaptable and very understanding if you have a certain way of handling things and completing willing to do things your way if you have a preference. Im am currently working part time (from home)and would like to help out animals in need. I know the feeling all too well as I have a puppy at home too. I definitely do alot of research for my puppy and the kittens and cat in the back if I notice anything wrong as im pretty detail focused as when it comes to pet they sadly doing speak english so I like to say im very good at noticing anything out of the ordinary and would like to max out my puppy and anyone else pets lifespan if possible if we can do something to better there health.
About: I have been adopting cats and dogs and enjoy taking care of them since I was in college. And I recently began dog sitting for my neighbor's dog and realized how much I enjoy it. It's such a pleasure taking care of pups! I work from home so your pup will be with me playing outside or cuddling indoors. **Certified in Dog & Cat First Aid and CPR through the American Red Cross. I work from home and have a flexible schedule and i would be available to attend to your pet during the day as well as some evenings and overnight . I have a fenced backyard and enough room for your pup to play and run around and I also have a friendly small dog named Fluffy who is 5 yrs old.
About: From taking care of my first love Chocolate(she was a beautiful chocolate lab) at the age 7 , to sharing a Maltese named Snoopy with my best friend in high school, to watching my college roommates blue nose pit and greyhound; I’ve become the designated dog sitter for all my friends and family. While i love running and playing with young pups, I am never opposed to cuddling up with the more seasoned pups. I have clients who only need me to check in on their fur babies while they’re away which also is not a problem. Im currently working from home so i have 24 hours to give to your fur baby. I am flexible with extended stays as long as communicated. In my home i have a fenced side yard. There are also several dog parks nearby that i visit frequently when sitting. I have a large dog bed as i often sit larger dogs but your fur baby will regardless of size or gender will feel right at home.
“Rashmi is the absolute best with our reactive border collie. She asks all the right questions to get to know him and I absolutely trust that she has his best interests at heart. Very communicative and easy to work with - we’ll absolutely continue booking her.”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I’m truly passionate about. Growing up, my family always had anywhere from three to five dogs at a time, which taught me from a young age how to love, care for, and be responsible for animals. Those experiences helped shape my deep appreciation for the companionship, trust, and joy that pets bring into our lives. As a dog mom myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. My dog, Tommy Lee, is my world and one of the most important parts of my life. Because I know how much she means to me, I understand how much your pet means to you. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where your pet feels comfortable, happy, and cared for while you’re away. When your pet is with me, they’ll be treated with the same love, attention, and care that I give Tommy every day🤎 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I primarily work remotely, which allows me to be home and present with pets throughout most of the day. While I occasionally need to be on-site for work, about 90% of my schedule is remote, giving me plenty of flexibility to provide attention, companionship, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of love. I also have a park right behind my home where Tommy Lee and I regularly go for walks, fresh air, and exercise, giving visiting pets plenty of opportunities for activity and enrichment during their stay. Because I spend so much time at home, your pet won’t be left alone for long periods and will have plenty of opportunities for interaction, exercise, and care. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and right at home while you’re away! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving home environment where pets are treated like family, not just guests. As a dog mom, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility seriously. My dog, Tommy Lee, is incredibly friendly, social, and loves both people and other animals. Because she shares our home, I do require that pets staying with us are friendly, well-socialized, and do not have a history of aggressive behavior toward people or other animals. This helps ensure a safe, comfortable, and stress-free experience for everyone. I work hard to create an environment where pets can relax, feel secure, and receive plenty of attention, affection, and care. Communication is also very important to me, so I’ll be happy to send regular photo and video updates throughout your pet’s stay. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely at ease from the moment they arrive until the moment they head home❣️
About: I am a 20-year-old college student with genuine, hands-on experience in pet care, having grown up caring for both dogs and cats. Over the years, I have provided attentive care, including walks, feeding, training, and general companionship. I have successfully trained three puppies in areas such as potty training, basic commands, and tricks. Additionally, I have experience caring for elderly and sick dogs, offering specialized attention such as changing diapers and assisting with feeding for those with difficulty eating. My background ensures that I provide compassionate, reliable, and personalized care for all pets, regardless of age or health condition. As a college student with a flexible schedule, I have ample free time and gaps between classes, allowing me to fully dedicate myself to providing exceptional care for pets. My passion for animals drives me to offer the highest level of attention, whether it’s for daily walks, feeding, playtime, or administering any special care needed. I take great pride in ensuring pets feel safe, loved, and well-cared for, and I am committed to maintaining a consistent, reliable routine to meet their individual needs. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their specific routines and preferences to minimize stress and maintain consistency. I make sure to follow any dietary restrictions, administer medication if needed, and provide regular updates to owners, keeping them informed and at ease. I also make sure to give each pet plenty of attention, affection, and mental stimulation to keep them happy and engaged.

About: Hello Reader :) I wanted to take some time for you to read why I would be a great sitter. I’m responsible, fun, attentive, and deeply committed to providing compassionate care to all animals. I’ve had four dogs for over 11 years, including one elderly dog who lived to 18, whom unfortunately passed. I think all this speaks to my dedication and experience. my three dogs (Bella, Howie, and Charlie) enjoy daily mile walks and have a spacious backyard to play in. I’m calm under pressure, communicate clearly, and create safe, comfortable spaces. I love animals and have raised two rescue dogs and feel comfortable with all dogs, big and small. I have experience regularly sitting my friends animals for weeks at times. The breeds that I watched regularly are is a border collie mix and a pit bull mix. Both dogs have gotten along well with my three dogs. I have also walked labs and pit bulls. Guess I’m a sucker for larger dogs because my three are smaller. Lol I work remotely and am home all day with my three dogs, which allows me to be consistently present and attentive. My meetings are spaced which allows for breaks to care for the animal and afternoon walks for any dog I am watching or walking. I have fenced in backyard and typically leave my dogs in the house with me while I am in meetings. I have several dog lounge spaces in the house that they can lay on. I walk them in the morning and the late afternoon, depending on the heat.
About: I have raised two puppies of my own, a German shepherd and a border collie mix. I have been there through their training and was there to take care of them during their neutering aftercare. Both are the sweetest and most lovable pets to me and my family. I also have dog-sat for family members and friends and all of them left me good reviews. They relied on me to play and feed their dogs accordingly. I would consider myself a golden retriever sitter as I have so much energy to run and play with my fur friends. Don't get me wrong though, I also enjoy a good lazy day to stay inside and cuddle! I am on summer break and am available to pet set whenever is needed! I love being outdoors and with nature but I can also just stay inside and have a comfy day! I live in a small apartment so my place might only be ideal for smaller dogs. However, I have no problem staying nights with pups who need someone. I will base my energy off of each individual pup. I know some love attention more than others and I will do my best to make sure your pup feels comfortable with me. I am always ready for play time and walks! I can am also very aware of my surroundings and won't let them out of my sight if needed.

Amie walks my reactive dog Sunny weekly and working with her has been a wonderful experience from the beginning. She’s a very responsive communicator, she’s very good with dogs and has helped me with extra walks as my schedule requires. I greatly appreciate her communication with me about my dogs behavior - I highly recommend Amie!

Kristina has been our dog walker for Nori over the past few months. She absolutely loves on Nori and Nori loves her right back. Kristina is very communicative of her schedule and always punctual to the set walks. She’s also good about telling us if something is wrong with Nori or notices anything off. We’re so lucky to have had Kristina’s service!

I had a fantastic experience with Anika as Kora’s dog walker. Anika was professional, punctual, and incredibly easy to communicate with. Before booking, I met Anika and informed her that Kora was not spayed and was currently in heat. Anika was very mindful of this, and she took great care of Kora, ensuring her safety and well-being, even when a stray dog approached when walking Kora around my neighborhood. It’s clear that Anika genuinely cares about the dogs she walks, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker. Thank you, Anika, for your outstanding service!
