Joy did a wonderful job with my pups while I was away for nearly 2weeks. Unexpectedly she had to take my one to the vet as we noticed something just the day before I had to leave. She kept me fully updated along the way and I felt a lot better knowing she would show the same amount of concern and care as I would. I received frequent updates and lots of pictures too! My dogs are definitely a handful and take a good amount of patience, so I really appreciate all that she does for me. I would definitely have Joy stay at my house any time I am in need of a kind hearted pet lover.

Brittany was amazing! Our dog has separation anxiety, and she took amazing care of him - he usually doesn't do well without us but was clearly comfortable with Brittany and her family! We really appreciate the frequent updates and pictures, and Brittany went out of her way to drop him back off at our place. We'll definitely be using her services again!

Rose was absolutely amazing with Ghost 🐾 You can tell she genuinely loves animals and treated him like her own. She kept us updated, gave him so much love and attention, and gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Coming home to a happy, relaxed pup says everything. We’re so grateful for her and would trust her with Ghost again in a heartbeat 💕

About: I’ve been pet sitting for a little over 4 years and have had animals all my life. So I have a ton of experience with pet sitting! I can also watch any other animals. Just show me what needs done, I most likely can do it! (Besides dogs & cats, I have watched/fed goats, birds, turtles and fish!) I will try to always go above and beyond for your pets & treat them like my own🤍 I do pet sitting full time so I have a lot of time to care for your pets! Just message me to figure out days and times! I do get booked quick for overnight stays so try to book me quickly:) I unfortunately can not do care for any pets at my house but when coming to your house I will do anything asked to help with your fur baby and make sure they get all the loving I can give!

About: Growing up I had a sweet little fur baby named Bruno. He was a pug and my whole life. My family and I loved him so much after rescuing him he lived to be almost 16 years of age! Since then, I spent many weekends dog or cat sitting as well as working at a doggy daycare, called Paws for a brief period of time where I was able to hone in my skills. Daily/weekly pet care comes from observing the comfort and behaviors of each pet. There are a big dog park just around the corner of my apartment as well as a hiking route I love to take dogs to run around with. It's a perfect place to go for a few hours so that your fur babys can have the most fun! Safety and trust are the most important part of having an animal in my home. I want to make sure your fur baby is given everything they need so they can enjoy their time with me. Animals lives are short, and they deserve the best with the time they have.

About: I am an experienced and dependable pet caregiver with a Lifelong love for dogs. Having cared for three dogs, including both puppies and senior dogs, I understand the unique needs that come with every stage of a dog's life. In addition to caring for dogs throughout my life, I regularly dog sit and walk dogs for friends, family, and neighbors. I have experience with small, medium, and large breeds, caring for multiple dogs at once, administering medications, following feeding schedules, providing exercise, and offering overnight care when needed. Because I work from home, I have the flexibility to give pets plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. My favorite part of pet care is getting to know each dog's unique personality, building a bond with them, and seeing their excitement and tail wags when they feel happy, comfortable, and loved. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to provide a safe, reliable, and caring experience that gives pet owners peace of mind while they're away. As a work-from-home pet caregiver, I’m able to provide pets with consistent attention throughout the day. I enjoy living an active lifestyle, including daily walks and regular exercise, so I’m comfortable handling dogs with a variety of energy levels, including larger and more active breeds. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or cuddles, I work pet care naturally into my routine and strive to keep each pet’s schedule as consistent as possible. I care for pets by prioritizing their comfort, safety, and normal routine in either my home or the client’s home. Because I work from home, I’m able to provide consistent supervision, frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship throughout the day. I make sure each pet gets individualized attention based on their energy level, personality, and any special instructions from the owner. When caring in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all routines exactly as instructed so pets feel secure in their familiar environment. I keep communication open with regular updates, photos, and check-ins so owners always know how their pet is doing. My goal is to make pets feel comfortable, loved, and stress-free while their owners are away.

About: Hi, I’m Ashley—professional animal lover and your pet’s new favorite human 🐾 I spent 6 years as a vet assistant in both emergency and general practice (DC & Cleveland), so I’m not just here for the cuddles—I’m trained to handle a wide range of situations and keep your pet safe and happy. At home, I have three pups of my own, so I fully understand the level of care, attention, and love your pets deserve. I’m big on routines, attention to detail, and making sure your pet feels comfortable while you’re away—because let’s be honest, they run the house. If you’re looking for someone reliable, experienced, and genuinely obsessed with animals… I’m your person.😁💗🐾 Caring for animals is already a big part of my everyday life. With a flexible schedule, I’m generally available for weekdays, evenings, and weekends, which makes it easy for me to provide reliable and consistent care. Between my background as a vet assistant and having three dogs of my own, I’m very used to building my routine around pets—making sure they’re comfortable, on schedule, and well taken care of. Care is always tailored to each pet’s routine and environment. I focus on consistency, attention to detail, and creating a calm, comfortable experience—whether in my home or my client’s. With a background in veterinary care, I’m able to provide an added level of awareness and support to ensure each pet’s well-being.

About: I have always had dogs my whole life growing up. Recently our two dogs have gone through a board and train program and I have learned alot from that! I’m currently working a full time job. I am available in the afternoons usually and could do pop in visit during the day depending on the time. I am usually available after 5pm for sure but can work out times during the day that would work! I have a fenced in yard on my property. I can take your dog for a walk ; let them out for potty breaks however you usually do. I can Crate your dog as I have experience with that as well.

Emma went above and beyond to take good care of my pets while we were away for a week. The house was clean and the dogs were happy. She sent plenty of photo updates too! I will for sure use her in the future as the need arises.

Stephanie was amazing! We booked her the day before leaving for our trip after our original babysitter canceled, and she completely saved the day. She sent us photos the entire time, which gave us so much peace of mind. Even our cat Ella who always hides from strangers came out and loved Stephanie, and that says everything about how wonderful she is. I didn’t spend a single moment worrying about our pups or cat while we were away. We’re so grateful for her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone. Thank you so much!!
