“Heather is absolutely attentive, professional and reliable. She has a way with my dog. It must be because she has so much dog experience, is so caring, and has a background in healthcare. I know I can rely on her. She sends the best videos and pictures. I hope we continue to work together for a long time!”

“Kim is absolutely amazing! My cat needs special care because she’s a diabetic and she’s super spicy as well. I was so relieved that Kim was able to get her to warm up and handle her spiciness with the best care possible. I will be relying on Kim in the future as needed for sure and I highly recommend her services to everyone.”

About: I have experience with dogs of all sizes and love giving them the attention, playtime, and care they need. I’m great with puppies, follow care instructions closely, and always treat pets like family. I’m currently in between jobs and have a very open, flexible schedule. I’m looking for something meaningful to fill my time and what better way than spending it with dogs!

I follow all care instructions closely, keep a close eye on them during walks or playtime, and make sure they feel comfortable and loved.

“Anastasiia & Vadim were great. They helped us out last moment on Easter. We booked 2 drop ins/walks for the same day. Both sessions they arrived right on time. They were communicative, took lots of photos, & provided what we all look for in a sitter: peace of mind our dog is in good hands. Would recommend & will book in future thanks again”

About: Hi, I’m Kennedy! I’ve cared for pets in all kinds of homes, from cozy cabins in Montana to sunny apartments here in Florida.

I treat every pet like they’re my own, giving them plenty of love, attention, and care while keeping their routines consistent. Whether it’s long walks, belly rubs, or just hanging out together, I’m here to make sure they feel safe and happy while you’re away. I’m also experienced with house sitting, so you can trust that your home will be looked after just as carefully as your pets. If you’re looking for a reliable sitter who will treat your pets like family, I’d love to connect! Pet care is part of my everyday life, I’ve fostered for years, so caring for animals is second nature to me. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to give pets regular walks, playtime, and attention throughout the day.

I keep pets safe, happy, and comfortable by following their usual routines and giving them plenty of love and attention. In your home, I respect your space and keep doors and gates secure.

“Claudia was very professional and made sure she knew all the information about our dog Connie prior to the official pet visit. She sent me updates and photos and kept my dog entertained when she didn’t want to walk due to it being very hot out. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Claudia to anyone who needs a trustworthy pet sitter who is great with animals ☺️”

About: I’ve always been an animal lover. I raised two dogs from puppyhood. Lucy lived to 18, and my current pup, Porscha, is now 14. I also have a 15 year old cat, AppleJack, I’ve had since she was a kitten. So I know what it’s like to care for pets at every stage of life, from playful zoomies to slower senior strolls. I started pet sitting because I wasn’t looking to commit to another full time pet, but I still wanted to spend my days caring for animals and helping fellow pet parents. Whether it’s a quick walk, overnight stay, or just some company while you’re away, I’m here to give your pet the love and attention they deserve. I’m especially great with: Puppies and senior pets Shy or anxious animals Keeping routines and providing lots of updates (with cute pics!) At Playful Paws, your pet will feel safe, loved, and totally at home. I work fully remote, and so does my husband, which gives us the flexibility to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs a morning walk, a midday check-in, or some evening cuddles, we’re usually home and available to help. Being remote means your pet won’t be left alone for long periods, and we can easily adjust to their routine. Weekdays, weekends, we’re here to keep tails wagging and whiskers happy. Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m visiting them in your home, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I treat every pet like they’re my own, with patience, love, and respect for their routine. At home, I create a calm, pet-friendly environment with cozy spaces, a clean setting, and plenty of playtime. My husband and I both work remotely, so someone’s almost always home for companionship and supervision. In your home, I’m mindful of your space and your pet’s habits. I follow instructions closely, whether that’s meal times, meds, or favorite toys, and I always keep things tidy and secure. You’ll get regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your fur baby is in caring, capable hands.

About: Basic rules for training puppies to socialize and interact with other dogs, and caring for and protecting older dogs when feeding, care and walking them. Because I have a flexible work schedule, I can care for your pet from Monday to Sunday, starting at 8 a.m. at the times that are most convenient for you, until 7 p.m. For the service I offer, I make sure that your pet has the necessary safety measures so that my work can be carried out with confidence, avoiding stress in the pet and that it has a fun and safe walk.

About: Do you love spoiling your furbaby? If so, look no further! We are a family of dog lovers who love nothing more than treating your dog like family. As the former owners of a precious, gentle, and spoiled boxer who lived to the ripe old age of 12.5, our kids ask almost every day for us to adopt another dog. While we aren't quite ready to own another one just yet, we love keeping our doors wide open to care for dogs and are looking to meet a few new fur friends! In addition to having owned a dog, we have experience caring for other people's dogs off and on for the past fourteen years. Our children (aged 6 and 8) have been raised to both love and respect dogs, and love to play, cuddle, and care for dogs without overwhelming them and making sure their needs are met. Take a look at the pictures to see them in action! We know that every dog has different needs, and we are sensitive to them. We have a wonderfully walkable neighborhood, a five-foot-high concrete fenced in backyard, and plenty of hands ready to pet and play. We allow dogs on our furniture and our bed if that's what your doggo needs! When caring for an animal, we try to cater to their needs as much as possible. We are happy to keep your dog on their routine at home, and also enjoy bringing them into our routines as they would like. One of our humans works from home full-time, and the other part-time, and the two little humans are both in elementary school. As such, there's typically always a human at home to tend to your animal's needs. We have a very dog friendly home, with tile floors throughout and a fully fenced in backyard. We have a very walkable neighborhood and working from home, we believe in plenty of walks if that is what your dog enjoys. If your dog loves car rides, we are happy for them to join us in dropping off and picking up our kids from school. We enjoy the occasional hike and a trip to Starbucks, so if your dog likes that too, a hike and a pup cup are something we're happy to spoil your dog with. If your dog is a lap dog, we love to Netflix and chill and always have an open lap. To limit dander, we do give a quick bath in our walk-in shower after your dog has settled in for those who haven't had a recent bath. If this causes excessive anxiety, we do request that your dog is recently bathed before coming over.

About: Dogs aren’t just pets—they’re family, and I’ve been loving and caring for them like that my whole life. I’ve had my own dog for 8 years and have been the go-to dog walker, sitter, and snuggle provider for friends and neighbors since I was a kid. I know how much trust it takes to let someone else care for your pup, and I treat every walk like it’s my own dog on the other end of the leash. Whether your dog is high-energy or more of a sniff-and-stroll type, I’ve got them covered—with patience, love, and lots of tail wags. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because it’s genuinely what I love to do. After taking care of my own animals each morning, I’m fully available throughout the day to dedicate time, attention, and affection to other people’s pets. Whether it’s walks, playtime, belly rubs, or just keeping them company while their humans are at work, I’m here to help give them the happiest, most loved day possible. I treat every pet like my own and find so much joy in making sure they feel safe, seen, and cared for while you’re away. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or theirs, I focus on creating a calm, loving environment where they feel safe, relaxed, and genuinely cared for. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible—whether that means sticking to specific walk times, feeding schedules, play styles, or cuddle preferences. I take time to learn each pet’s personality and comfort level so I can show up for them in the way they need. My goal is always to make them feel right at home, even when their favorite human is away.

About: I grew up surrounded by dogs and have been caring for them my whole life. My family often rescued and fostered dogs, so I have hands-on experience with many breeds, sizes, and personalities—including shy or anxious pups. Over the years, I’ve continued dog sitting for friends, family, and clients, and it’s something I truly love doing. I'm available Monday through Friday with a flexible schedule, making it easy for me to provide dog walking and pet sitting throughout the day. Whether your pup needs a midday walk, company while you're at work, or just some extra attention, I'm here to help with reliable and loving care. I care for pets in their own homes, where they feel most safe and comfortable. I follow any specific routines or instructions you provide, whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or administering medication. I make sure your pet feels loved and cared for while you're away, and I always keep you updated with messages and photos.
