“Grace was wonderful! She took excellent and thorough care of our cats and went above and beyond her responsibilities to make our cats comfortable and happy! Great communication too! Will definitely be rebooking Grace for future trips.”

“Olivia was great! We had her come over twice a day while we were away to feed our adult cat and new kitten. She went above and beyond with updates, photos, and extra tasks like cleaning the litterbox. I know our cats were well cared for and we felt safe with Olivia coming by. Thanks again!”
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: Hi, I’m Raquel! I’ve been caring for dogs for over 13 years, and it’s truly something I love with all my heart. Whether it’s going for walks, hanging out at home, or keeping them company while you’re away, I treat every dog like they’re my own. I know how important it is to feel confident and relaxed when someone’s looking after your pup—that’s why I always go the extra mile to make sure they’re happy, safe, and well-loved. Big or small, shy or playful—I’ve got experience with all kinds of dogs, and I can’t wait to meet yours! Pet care fits perfectly into my weekly routine! I’m currently working just a few hours a week, which gives me plenty of time in the afternoons, early evenings, and on weekends to focus on caring for pets. My flexible schedule means I can be there when you need someone most—whether it’s daily walks, weekend stays, or last-minute check-ins. I love being able to spend quality time with dogs and make sure they’re happy, active, and well-loved while you’re away or at work. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s, I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I stick to their usual routine as much as possible—feeding times, walks, play, and any special instructions you provide. I have experience with senior dogs and understand the extra patience and gentleness they often need. I’m also comfortable giving medications (both oral and topical) and keeping an eye out for any signs of discomfort or changes in behavior. I’m respectful of your space, keep things clean, and make sure your pup gets plenty of attention and affection. My goal is to make them feel right at home, whether they’re with me or I’m staying with them!
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.
“Leila was fantastic with Luna and Boots over the weekend! She sent regular updates and pictures, which really put my mind at ease. It's clear she genuinely cares about animals and went above and beyond to make sure Luna and Boots were happy and comfortable. I'm definitely booking Leila again for future pet-sitting needs!”
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.
About: I’ve taken care of my German shepherd since he was 8 weeks old as well as my wife’s 8 year old dog and our cat. I also have dog-sat for friends many times! I’ve also ‘fostered’ my friends’ pets while they are on deployments (4+ months at a time) I am here to cater to whatever your pet’s needs are, with lots of love and patience! I’m currently a college student while my wife works so I will have plenty of free time to look after your pet! I’m able to do multiple walks/day and spend time playing with them as much as they need! I have a fenced yard, lots of toys, and a very walkable neighborhood. For those of you ok with having other pets in the house, mine are super friendly and will love having another around!
“Emily was amazing with my cat. My cat was comfortable with her from day one - which made me feel much more secure knowing that he was in good hands while I was away on my trip.”
“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 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 taking mostly online classes and have lots of free time to take care of your pets! 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.
“Stephanie was very helpful when I had to go out of town on short notice. She walked my sweet greyhound and fed/watered him when needed. It put my mind at ease knowing she was looking after my boy!”
