About: I have loved dogs my whole life, but I did not realize how deep that love could be until I adopted my first dog, Flynn, 11 years ago. He was a 90lb German Shepherd with reactivity towards other dogs, which led me down the path of learning everything I could about canine behavior and training. I have taken multiple dog training classes focused on positive reinforcement techniques and have used tools such as clicker training, prong collars, and e-collars. I learned how to navigate situations in which Flynn was reactive, making sure I had full control of a very strong dog at all times. I raised Flynn from 8 weeks old (puppy shark phase) to his calmer senior years. The challenges I faced with Flynn taught me how to read canine body language, manage reactivity, and handle high energy, strong dogs with patience and love. After losing Flynn, I thought I could never get another dog again, but come February 2024, I welcomed 7-week-old GSD mix Artemis (Artie) into my life. It has been a completely different training experience in much more challenging ways. From potty training to crate training and leash manners, she has tested everything I have learned (and helped me learn more). Every challenge and every puppy shark bite has been completely worth it. She is now thriving and continues to learn thanks to consistency, structure, and ongoing enrichment. I also have hands-on experience with senior dog care. I started caring for our elderly family dog (Socrates) after my father passed away 4 years ago. He is now a 14-year-old Dachshund Terrier mix with limited mobility and some incontinence. I provide daily care, including hygiene and administering medication, and provide a clean, comforting environment to support his quality of life. He is getting a lot of treats and love in my care. My goal is to build trust and communication to maintain a safe environment for dogs and others. Whether your dog is a puppy in training, a reactive adult, or a senior who needs special attention, I bring patience and knowledgeable care. Every dog is different, and I take the time to get to know what makes yours special. I'd love to meet them and offer care you can trust. My life revolves around my sweet pup, Artemis (aka Artie). This means that besides work and taking care of her needs, I am quite open. I work remotely some days and can drop in on your babies during the day or in the evenings. On the weekends my availability is wide open. Building trust through consistent communication is important to me. Since I know that every dog is different, I understand each has individual needs and am eager to learn them. As a dog owner, I also understand how important it is for someone who is caring for your dog to know your dog and know what they need (I'm the type who writes a whole manual for any sitter). In my home, I have a senior dog who likes his alone time and an energetic, young GSD mix dog. For daycare, your pups can interact as little or as much as appropriate. I also have a small fenced yard where I can play with the dogs.

About: I’ve taken care of all types of dogs and cats for the last couple of years through friends and neighbors whether they were under 1 year or senior pets. I’ve taken dogs on walks and to dog parks (if approved), as well as house sat. I’m currently in the process of starting a new position of which I start on the August 6th. Between now and then, I will be fully available for pet care aside from August 2nd + 3rd. I can crate your dog or cats if needed, always ensuring they are in a safe space by making sure there is no food or anything they can accidentally swallow in the vacinity, ensuring they stick to a routine if applicable, and making sure they are always fed and played with!

“Andrea is a amazing sitter and dog walker. My dog and cats love seeing her. She's caring, detail oriented, and just plain loves these animals. She even left a thank you card for us, highly recommend!”

About: I’ve always had dogs in my life, I went to school to understand the behavior and requirements it takes to assuring the dog is happy and needs are met. I have worked with many different types of dog breeds, big or small and as well as different stages of life, I adore dogs and their well-being to flourish. I am currently working from 1 PM to 8 PM, Mondays through Sunday with Tuesday and Friday off. So I am available mornings the days I work as well as after my shift if needed and all day the days I’m off. When it comes to my pets in my home, I make sure that they are on a routine and schedule with feeding, walks, and attention. I make sure their bowls are ready for the day when I am not home. When it comes to anybody I am helping out, I always stay punctual with what they have given me so I don’t mess up their pets schedule and needs.

About: I’ve taken care of animals for about 5 years and my love for them has not changed whatsoever. I’m always excited to meet new friends especially when they feel the same way I always care for my cat everyday and sometimes my cousin’s dog if I go to her apartment next door. Taking care of pets is important for me because they are always there for you when you need them most I have a fence in my house to keep any pet from danger and if an animal is not friendly with others my cat has his own room.

About: I grew up with 2 cats and 2 dogs. In college, my roommate brought her dog in, and when she was away, I treated her dog as my own. I walked, fed, and played with her. I have a lot of experience taking care of them. I currently volunteer at the OC Animal Shelter in the kitten nursery and took a dog 101 course. No matter what type of pet you have, I would love to care for them. I'm free after 5 pm Monday-Thursday and Friday after 2 pm. Saturday and Sunday, I'm free most mornings, and I will always be free after 1 pm. I respond quickly and send however many updates/pictures you want. I will always keep an eye on your pet, even if they are in an enclosed environment. I will follow any instruction/schedule to the tee. Even though I'm energetic, if your pet wants a calm night, I will be able to provide it. My main priority is making sure your pet feels safe and loved.

About: Since birth, I have never not owned a pet (specifically dogs and cats). So I guess you could say I have a lifetime of experience? 🤷🏼‍♀️ But seriously - I’ve been watching my family’s dogs since high school, and have expanded to now being the trusted sitter for my friends! I not only grew up in an animal household, but I am the proud momma of a cat! She is literally my child - I taught her how to do tricks, walk on a harness, and even socialized her with people so she wouldn’t be afraid when we had guests! I spent a lot of time researching cat behavior and care - and rest assured I would take the same tender love and care for your fur baby as well. Since I have over a decade of experience caring for cats and dogs - I can handle anything ranging from energetic puppies, to managing the medical and medicinal needs of a senior dog. No task is too big or too little for your pooch. Thank you for taking a chance on me - I promise to love and care for your pet as if they were my own! I will not only do my best in making sure the needs of your dog are met - but I will also provide constant photos and check ins! Thank you for the opportunity - and I look forward to meeting my new furry best friend! 🐾 I WFH full time so I have a lot of flexibility to step away during the day to run errands, or check on your fur babies! I have a laptop so I can also bring that for overnight stays, so no worries on that front! I live in an apartment with my husband, and our cat Daisy 🌼 We do a good job splitting the care of our cat, so no issues if I need to step away for a couple hours to do a check in or walk, or an overnight stay! As a pet owner myself - I know how stressful it is to leave your fur baby with someone new. I will follow your instructions to a T - and make sure there is constant communication on the wellbeing of your pet. I will make sure I understand what is expected of me before you leave - so you have peace of mind that your fur baby is well taken care of. I also encourage a meet and greet before booking - I can meet your baby and we can go over specifics!

About: From zoomies to snoozies, I’ve got every pup covered! Whether it’s a playful puppy or a wise senior, I treat every dog like my own, because to me, they are family. With experience across all breeds and ages, I’ll make sure your fur baby gets the love, care, and attention they deserve! I work full-time in a hybrid format, with Fridays off after 1 p.m. On weekends, I’m available for dog sitting, walks, or any other pet care needs you may have. My apartment complex features a dog park and a walking path around the grounds, offering plenty of space for outdoor fun. I understand the importance of regular walks in a dog’s routine, so I make sure my own fur baby gets several each day. We also have a sunny patio where dogs can relax and soak up the rays. Felix, my pup, is great with other dogs—he’s patient, playful, and almost fatherly with puppies, while with older dogs, he knows to embrace the laid-back pace of retirement life.

“Crystal jumped in at the very last minute to walk my dog! She was extremely communicative, was right on time, and was very good with my bigger dog. I will be returning to her for future walks for sure!”
