About: I have experience with cats, dogs, birds, fishes, hamsters and other small creatures!

About: I am truly a dog lover with years of experience walking, feeding, and caring for dogs of various sizes and personalities. I am dedicated to treating your furry family member like my very own, ensuring they receive the highest level of care, comfort, and companionship. My schedule is highly open and flexible to provide consistent, dedicated support whenever your pet needs it most. The only exception is a brief daily window from 12:00 PM to 12:30 PM for a recurring client. Because I strictly provide one-on-one care and never mix dogs from different households, your pet is guaranteed my full, undivided attention during their walk. Taking care of your furry friend is the highlight of my day! I am a timely, organized, and consistent person. I am able to follow all instructions, routine, and accommodate your schedule so you feel supported. I provide safety, comfort, and care for your pet! My attention is always 100% your dog and our surroundings. During walks, I always keep your dog securely leashed, and I do not permit interactions with other dogs to ensure a controlled, stress-free environment.

“Anana was available last minute when I had an emergency trip and was a life saver! She was incredibly communicative, always kept us up to date with the walk card and pictures, and was wonderful for Tully while we were gone! We absolutely would recommend her for your pet car needs.”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for most of my life. I grew up looking after our family dog and helping with neighbors’ pets, and in my 20s and early 30s I regularly sat for, fostered, and checked in on friends’ and community members’ animals—mostly dogs and cats, with the occasional bird, frog, or turtle. I adopted my own cat in my 30s and have lived with multiple pets while sharing homes with roommates. While much of this care was informal, it gave me a wide range of hands-on experience. After a particularly rewarding role walking dogs for a company from 2022 to 2023, I began freelancing and now work with clients through community referrals. I’m just getting back into freelance pet care after taking time off over the past couple of years to recover from injuries, and I’m really looking forward to being active in this work again. My schedule is currently quite flexible as I rebuild my client base, which allows me to accommodate a range of needs. I’d love the chance to meet your pets and provide attentive, reliable care. Take care! When I’m pet sitting or doing drop-in visits, I start by confirming the schedule and any specific needs or routines for your pet. From there, I focus on being both thorough and present—making sure all daily care is handled carefully while also spending quality time with them. I approach each visit with genuine affection and attention, so your pet feels safe, cared for, and well-loved while you’re away.

About: I'm a playful and fun friend to animals of all kinds! While this app is focused on dogs and cats, I have expeirence with reptiles as well. I'm cool under pressure and can handle hectic environments. The wildest experience I've had was with 3 grown dogs, 8 puppies, and a cat. Best weekend of my life. I have one regular client in the mornings, Mon-Wed. outside of that, I tend to prefer about 5+ days' notice for sits, 2+ for drop-is & walks. I can be flexible when my schedule allows 👍🏾 I'm adaptable and can adopt whatever schedules and routines you specify for your pets. I know it's good for dogs to get some exercise, so I'll play with them as much as I can. (a win-win since it's also good cardio for me!) If they're good with other dogs, we'll go to the dog park! With cats, I find it's best to follow their lead to an extent. I'm observant and will get a good idea of their boundaries quickly.

“Sheena was great and went above and beyond to make sure my fur kiddo was well taken care of. She was reliable, caring, and kept me updated which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away.”

About: I am an animal lover who’s been taking care of dogs since I was small I’ve watched family members pets walked them to parks and believe in spending quality time with our pets. If you need quick answers please feel free to call me. I am open through the weekends all day but when it comes to weekdays there might be restrictions but if I can get an email or a text I could see if I have time I am very flexible with my schedule as long as I am given a little time to prepare I make sure to follow up with feeding a dog first to give them time to digest their food and then playing with them because animals need love and companionship and after I would take the dog for a long walk because they need air and I find it helps them end their night right but if I was to start earlier in the day everything would be two to three times depending on the type of dog

“Communicative and helpful, Connor did a great job with my dog ducky! Will hire again!”

“Lilah is so great with our pooch! She’s so caring and provides feedback and is very reliable!”

About: While I’m beginning my professional pet care journey, I’ve been around animals my entire life — including cats, dogs, turtles, and more — and I’m very comfortable providing loving, compassionate, high-quality care. I’m intuitive, empathetic, detail-oriented, and a strong communicator, which I believe are all important qualities when caring for animals. I understand how important it is to place your pets in trustworthy hands, and I’ll always treat your fur babies with the same love, patience, and attention I would want for my own. I’m not just there to complete tasks — I genuinely love animals and enjoy bonding with them, making sure they feel loved, comforted, and cared for while their humans are away. Whether your pet needs a fun, active environment or a calm and relaxing space, I’m happy to accommodate their unique personality and needs to help them feel happy, safe and comfortable while in my care. Thank you for considering me! If you have any questions, feel free to reach out. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! :) I have a very flexible schedule as someone who creates my own work hours, which allows me to accommodate many different schedules and give your pet plenty of attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. I care for your pets in your home with the same love, attention, and respect that I would give my own. I greet them warmly and offer plenty of pets, cuddles, affection, and companionship based on their individual personality and comfort level. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, clean litter boxes, playtime, and any additional accommodations or care requested. For pets who require walks, I ensure they are safely harnessed and comfortable while allowing them time to explore and sniff at their own pace. I stay attentive to their surroundings, prioritize their safety around other animals, and make sure they remain comfortable in all weather conditions — never too hot or too cold. My goal is always to help your pets feel safe, cared for, relaxed, and loved while you’re away. :)
