About: I grew up with a standard poodle who stole my heart from the very beginning. He was truly my best friend and sparked my lifelong love of dogs. As an adult, our family had a Wheaten Terrier for 13½ years, and he was the most royal member of our household. I have a hybrid work schedule and get much of my exercise walking in between work sessions, so daily walks and outdoor time are a natural part of my routine. I’m also fairly flexible with my schedule, which allows me to give dogs the attention they deserve. Over the years, I’ve cared for many friends’ dogs and genuinely enjoy having them around, whether they’re calm companions or full of playful energy. Our home is a warm, relaxed environment where dogs are treated like part of the family. Your dog will be treated like part of our family. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as I work from home most days of the week and enjoy power walks in between work sessions. Walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship easily fit into my schedule. Since I work from home on my computer, pets are rarely left alone and can relax nearby while I work, giving them plenty of attention throughout the day. I follow each pet’s normal routine, providing walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention so they feel comfortable, safe, relaxed, and well cared for.

“Great job. Thanks for your last minute availability.”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and grew up helping to care for our family pets. Over the years, I’ve also cared for my parents’ dogs while they’ve been away—handling everything from walks and feeding to playtime and keeping them on a routine. Recently, I’ve welcomed a puppy of my own, so I’m especially familiar with the attention, structure and patience younger dogs need. I work from home so can be available for midday walks and and drop-ins. My schedule can vary but is flexible, especially for local visits. I treat every dog like my own and always focus on keeping them safe, comfortable and happy. I stick closely to your instructions and your dog’s routine and am mindful to send an update so you feel confident they’re in good hands.

About: I am a Chef and animal lover. It is my passion to nourish & take care of people, and this certainly extends to our furry friends. I have an English Bulldog named Luca and he is extremely adored. I am very active. I go for 3 mile walks minimum daily, and I would love to bring your dogs along! I also enjoy time at home, where I can be a great companion for them there as well - playing or sharing space. Any of your pets special needs are safe with me, I will care for them as my own! I hope we can spend time together soon! I work at a bakery so I am out of work between 2-3:30 everyday at the latest. I am always off on Sundays and only work 4 days out of the week. I go into work between 6-9 am. I have a small fenced yard outside my apartment building. I am very close to a park I can take them to. I will allow animals on my couch, but of course I will set boundaries if this is not something you want to become a habit. I will give them as much play time and love as they please. I can also respect that some animals just want you to be there for company and I can do that as well.

About: Lifelong cat expert and passionate dog sitter! Even though I’ve grown up, watched, and cared for cats since I was born, I have then transferred this experience to the pups around me. Whether in my family or in my close circle of friends, I extend my compassion and care to all animals In the morning when I’m up for work I feed my cats. When I have free time before I leave I play with them, and of course when I come home I give them a warm greeting. They are fed again at night and I make sure to give them all the snuggles, love, and playtime inbetween it all. My cats are STRICTLY indoor cats and do not leave the house. They are trained to run away when the door opens but Luna sometimes gets curious about outside

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was young, starting with my own dog at age 11 and continuing through years of dog sitting, walks, and overnight care for family and neighbors. I currently have a 54 lb high energy puppy of my own, which has given me even more hands on experience with exercise needs, structure, and daily care. I’m especially comfortable with dog walking and drop-in visits, and I love getting dogs outside, keeping them active, and making sure they’re happy and well cared for while you’re away. I also have experience with high energy breeds, puppies, and administering medication when needed. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive care so you can feel confident your dog is safe, exercised, and cared for like they’re my own I currently work remote from home, so I have plenty of time to play with your animals and give them all the love and attention they need! I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm, positive environment for every pet in my care. I always follow owner instructions closely and make sure your pet feels secure and well cared for at all times

About: Greetings! As a dog owner for most of my life, until recently, I know that ensuring your Pup is well cared for can be the #1 biggest concern of your workday/holiday or any time you’re separated. If you're anything like me then you have undoubtedly spent THOUSANDS on making sure they receive only the best care. My doggy resume: Previous owner of Duke, my cairn terror, who was amazing with people, but terrible with other animals. He had to be leashed at all times and we had to stay clear of other dogs, squirrels and so on. Loved him. I also have experience with an American Pit Bull. She was so loving too and she happened to be deaf. I learned a lot loving and loving her. A few items we will touch base on before our meet and greet: 1. Is your dog a rescue? Do they potentially have an unfortunate history. If so, what is that history and let’s find a way to navigate it, if possible: 2. Are there any medications that will need to be administered? How and when? Do you have a method to do so (pill in food or treat). We don't want them missing anything important. 3. Dietary habits and needs while under my care. Besides time and amount, anything unusual? Or imperative? 4.How frequently does your dog tend to need outside trips? Are they house broken? Tibia okay if not, we all have to learn at some point. Is there a behavior I should be looking out for, it is out of scheduled time? 5. Let's talk walks: Leashes, harnesses, dog parks,other dogs and everything in-between. 6. A typical day in the life; on or off furniture, chewing shoes, rules, other behaviors, do's and dont's. We are open to it all. 7. While an emergency is unlikely, let's set a plan. I'm a Retired small business owner of 20 years. My days are open enough to to help with last minute, emergencies, planned and even separation anxiety pups. I can stay in if needed. If no schedule is given, I will typically follow the below plan: Walks will be first thing in the morning, lunch (12:30-1:30) and in the evening. Breaks needed is fine too! I'm available Monday through Sunday Open to Drop-off and pickup times, but not after 9pm. If you need some added flexibility we can definitely discuss that. I can come to your home for a pickup or drop-off. Our home is bright and airy and we have w big backyard. No rugs, no kids….My mom lives two blocks away with a big backyard with a pool, if your Pup likes the water. And orchard park dog park is a walk away if allowed. One of the biggest CONS of transitioning from a 60 hour work week for 20 years to sitting at home and walking with just the two of us. Because of this, I go on daily walks to the dog park, where we sit for awhile and watch them play. I'm hoping your dog will finally give me a reason to go into the dog park. If dog parks isn't your dogs thing, I can head to a more residential route. Don't worry, I'll be sure to send you a picture or video. And I will make sure to keep open communication, with updates. My days and evenings are open! Monday-Sunday. Nothing in my schedule lasts over 3 hours, so I am pretty much open for your Pup’s needs. I follow directions about the care of your dog to perfection. We have a big backyard, if granted by you, because there’s no fence. We have two bedrooms they can stay in, or they can stay in ours, or in a crate! We are so flexible. There is a dog park we can walk to if allowed. We also have access to my mother’s pool, if allowed, she is within walking distance and her backyard is fenced. Big area to run around and hang out. We have no kids, which makes it even easier!

About: I’ve been a dog lover since I was young. I grew up caring for a King Charles Cavalier Spaniel and a Chocolate Lab, and I currently have a very energetic Cockapoo. I love all dog breeds and personalities! In college, I also cared for a senior German Shepherd when their family was away on vacation. I have a very flexible and non traditional work schedule. I can watch and care for your dog on any of my days off as much and as often as you need. I will follow any instructions exactly to insure your dog is as safe, healthy, and happy as possible. I love going for long walks and making sure they get the exercise they need.

About: I have been taking care of animals since i was a kid. At camp they called me "nature shack girl". It just makes me happy. Im trying to pass it on to my 4 year old in our home. I am a realtor so can set my own schedule and am always available for pet care as well. I have a large house near the beach and like to walk the dogs there. My dog is a Chihuahua. He is very friendly with small to medium sized dogs. Im home a lot of the time. I have a fenced yard and an alarm system here.

About: My family and I have always had a dog, from Great Danes to French bulldogs to mutts! I’m happy to let your dog out or take them for a walk. I’ve lived in this area for 50 years. I work part time as a registered nurse so I’m available 5 days out of the week and my schedule varies. I am flexible with advanced notice. I take care of my daughter’s dog part time in my home. I would prefer to take care of your pet in your home, but am not opposed to have a pet in my home depending on the situation.

“This was our first time having Lisa walk our Kirbie. We always wanted someone to dog sit/walk Kirbie. Now, we feel confident that we found that with Lisa. Kirbie simply loves her! Thank you Lisa.”

“My sweet, adorable, fluffy, beautiful, yet PSYCHOTIC rescue is a handful! Rachel has not given up on him and is determined to meet him on his own terms and proceed as he is comfortable. I’m sure many dog walkers would have given up on him. But not Rachel. She’s an angel!”

About: I am a longtime pet owner and sitter who understands that all pets have their own personalities and adjust my care accordingly. Some dogs need energy and excitement! While others just want someone to pet them softly and tell them how good they are. Dogs have their own minds and body language, something I’m well versed in, and something I will use to make sure your dog is as comfortable and safe as they can. I’m currently freelancing, so I have a lot of free time to take care of your fur babies! I can work morning, noon, and nights, so whenever I am needed, I can be there! I have a large home with a big back yard for dogs to roam, and a lot of soft couches next to warm vents for cats to loaf on

“Such a pleasure to hear from Sarah. She was a life saver and instantly became friends with Jett.when I came home he was exhausted! Sarah was communicative and professional. Thank you for being wonderful Sarah!”
