Veronica was great with our dog Ares. She responded quickly to all messages and sent me pictures with each visit. She was very accommodating with my last minute changes I had to make to the drop-in schedule and is very personable.

Marcela is such a wonderful sitter, our dog is a very nervous dog and every time Marcela just works her magic with her. While we’re away she sends pictures and notes on how Sadie has done, which I love! We will always use her she just does such a great job.

Raquel was super sweet and accommodating to Mike, our diabetic cat. She was willing to take on the responsibility of injecting insulin twice daily to Mike and was punctual each day. Very communicative, quickly responding to any and all messages sent, there was no delay at all! She takes caring for animals seriously and won’t let your pet go without!

About: I have worked with dogs for over 10 years. I have trained dogs and worked for two daycares. I know about medications and common injuries prone to popular breeds. I enjoy walking with and interacting with dogs of all sizes. I have plenty of free time to watch and walk dogs whenever needed. I am available any time during the week/weekend that would be needed. Available for emergency walks or sittings if needed. I know how hard it is to leave your pets behind, so I prioritize clear communication and plenty of photo updates. My goal is to make sure your pet is happy, exercised, and showered with affection while you’re away. I provide a structured and safe environment for your animals. I understand that every pet has a unique temperament and specific needs, and I pride myself on being a calm, observant caregiver. I am comfortable administering medication, handling leash-reactive dogs, and maintaining strict feeding schedules. When your pet is with me, their safety and well-being are my absolute top priorities.

Taylor is awesome! She walked our dog Carson daily for a couple months and she was an absolute lifesaver. Her flexibility and reliability was greatly appreciated. Carson is not the easiest dog to walk and she did a great job. We would highly recommend her!!!

About: I worked for a small business a while ago where I would travel to peoples houses in order to take there dogs on a walk. I would also make sure to feed them, play with them, or just keep them company if needed. After that job, I worked as a kennel attendant at a boarding facility. There I managed many peoples dogs and make sure they were properly taken care of. This included play times, bathroom breaks, feeding, and even special treats now and then. I am looking for anyone who needs the help. I am currently job searching and wanted to go back into the dog business and figured this would be a great way to get back into it! Usually I will take my dog on longer walks and give him extra attention and play time at home. My dog is spoiled and happy!

About: I used to have two small dogs for 7 years and have been trusted by neighbors and friends to watch their dogs as well. I have experience watching dogs both big and small! I have also had the opportunity to walk a medium sized dog three times a day multiple times and have boarded both a large and small dog simultaneously. I’m currently a student on summer break and have worked with dogs! My schedule is pretty flexible, especially if details are known ahead of time. I also have a car of my own that I do not mind having pets in. I will follow instructions clearly and make sure your pets get lots of love. I will not let them do anything they wouldn’t normally do, such as jumping on counters (cats) or furniture unless they are allowed otherwise.

About: ***I am independently insured through PetCare for greater peace of mind while you’re away*** I've recently gone through a career switch from caring for humans (I was a registered nurse) to caring for animals last year. However, I have loved and cared for several personal and friend’s pets, to include cats, dogs, guinea pigs, birds, and reptiles, throughout my entire life. I hold a strong passion for advocating and caring for all beings with empathy, patience, and understanding. Since my career switch, I have experienced pets who need extra attention due to daily medications, reactivity, older age, anxiety, and helping to instill training (I am not a certified trainer) the clients are already teaching their pet(s) during my walks and/or pet sits. Dog walking and pet sitting is my full time job now. Whether you need a midday walk or need someone to care for your pets while you escape on vacation, I’m available for either service throughout the week, weekend, and some holidays. While I do not provide care in my home, I do travel to your pets while you’re away. My approach to caring for animals is with a lot of patience and respect. I’m happy to take it slow for each animal that may be a bit timid at first. I have a lot of experience personally and professionally working with animals who are timid, reactive, etc. For new clients, I like to have a meet/greet to go over care instructions before the pet sitting/walking dates. This gives us the opportunity to ask questions and discuss further what you can expect while you’re away. My goal is to provide care the way your pet is used to. I send daily updates/pictures/video to give you the reassurance that your pet is being loved on just the way you would if you were there.

Teresa was fantastic with my Chloe, Stella and Hemsworth. She cared wonderfully for them during my recent 3 day trip. He took the time to meet and greet my pups the day before and to get the details of there care. I received very prompt updates on her visits. She provided me with photos and videos from each visit. I could not have ask for better care from anyone. It get me a lot comfort knowing they were in good hands. She is my now my go to sitter for future trips. My pack already missed her and can’t wait for my next trip.

About: I always had dogs and cats growing up since I was 6. I've taken care of dogs (walking, feeding, bathing, and boarding) for my friends, neighbors and family for at least 6 years mostly for medium and small dogs when they are away/out of town. My husband and I work full time from home so my schedule is flexible to provide any services such as drop-in, walks, day care and boarding either on daily basis or on your special occasions. We have a dog (medium size) at home and we would like to ensure that we give lots of affection and playtime to your fur babies. We live in a townhouse surrounding by many traits and dog parks. My husband and I will give your fur babies lots of affection and playtime, we’ll do our best to make them feel at home! Our guest pups usually sleep alongside with our own dog in their individual beds, either in the basement or living room areas. Also, when providing drop-in visits, or dog walking services, I will not only be taking care of your dogs, but I will also take care of your home by taking a little extra time before I leave to ensure everything’s secure, and the dog has what they need before you come back.
