About: I have been a dog lover all of my life and know how important their care is. Dogs are just part of the family! I love getting to know each dogs personality and figure go above and beyond to consider the needs of a variety of pups. I have a flexible schedule allowing me to provide constant care for your pup. I am interested in meeting and caring for all types of dogs, big/small, puppy or seniors! I can be as flexible as possible and will be honest about your pup’s care. I will treat your fur-babes like part of the family. We have a fenced in yard and If your pup is more comfortable as part of the pack, they are invited in to have the run of the house with our family dogs. We love dogs and will try to accommodate any special requests. Available to check in on your pups every 4 hours (m-f) and spend weekends all day with your dogs! I can check in with your pups every 3-4 hours during the day and be there to stay after 4 pm. I prioritize feeding and potty schedules to make sure there are little to no changes in their routines. I care for your pets like they are my own. Figuring out they’re behaviors and personalities is important to me. Some dogs need lots of love and attention and others like their space, either way they’ll be in great hands.

Sent us pictures and communicated with me throughout the visit. When we got home both our dogs were so very calm and not distressed at all! Thank you thank you thank you!!

About: My love for animals (Especially dogs) started at a very young age and only progressed as I got older. I grew up learning how to care for many different animals including chickens, Bunnies, Dogs & Cats. Since living on my own I’ve cared for many dogs from Chihuahua’s to Pit bull’s to Great Danes. I have 2 sweet fur babies of my own; Chanel is a Bully-Pitbull mix who is 2 years old. And Vera who is a Petite golden doodle who has just turned 1. Both of my dogs are very sweet & have the best personalities to make your dog feel safe & at home. I’ve also taken care of dogs with dog/people Aggression so I am no stranger to handling serious situations. My sister is a Vet-Tech and has taught me many important things when it comes to taking care of pets including medically. I can’t wait to meet your babies & love them as much as my own!! I only accept dog care when I’m a able to be home with them! If any other circumstances were to arise I would discuss with you before booking to make sure you’re ok with the care your dog will receive! I will always treat animals with love & patience. Dogs will be kept inside of the home unless being taken out for a potty break or play time. All Dogs are allowed on furniture in my house unless Owner Request Otherwise. I also own a Very LARGE crate & a small one for dogs who’s owners prefer them to be kenneled or kennel trained.

About: While I grew up with dogs throughout my adolescence, I also have years of experience working as a pet sitter and dog walker. I spent years working at a dog daycare and veterinary clinic as a technician, and prior to that was working as a pet sitter in community. I have always had a passion and immense love for animals , and deeply enjoy being able to take on work that allows me to spend time with them. My own dog, Kaia (the Golden Retriever puppy pictured), means the world to me so I know first hand how nerve wracking it can be to leave your dog in the care of someone else. I will provide your dog with patience, kindness, compassion, and fun, and hopefully be able to ease some of those worries! I have a very flexible schedule with a lot of free time that allows me to prioritize Rover. I can usually work around your schedule to walk your pup whenever needed! Growing up around dogs & having worked with them, I feel I have a good understanding of safety and the precautions necessary to ensure it. I am very patient and understand that each dog is unique and will have its own individual traits and needs. Working with dogs is such a passion of mine which allows me to bring lots of enthusiasm and joy into the job. Because of my own dog I will not be offering pet-sitting services in my own home, but am excited to offer walking services and pet sitting in the client’s home.

About: I have been around animals and I, myself, have had animals my whole life- at one point, I had 4 dogs all in one house under the same roof. My compassion, love, and loyalty for animals sets me apart from other sitters in more ways than one. I care for others' animals the same way I would care for my own with the upmost care and respect. I think of my animals the same as if they were my children, as well as others' animals. I am very reliable, trustworthy, and dependable that you can count on for all your animals' needs and wants. I have worked some with senior care dogs, as well as some puppies. There should be no doubt in your mind that your animals would be in the right hands. With my current schedule, I am very flexible when it comes to spending time with your animals. Currently, I am looking for sitting positions during the day/at night, as well as on the weekends, so my flexibility and schedule are currently open! I have always wanted to work with animals, but be able to do it on my own schedule at my own time. I have my own dog at home and my dog does not have a fence. Where I am located, my backyard is pretty wide open. My house would not be available to bring your dog to stay overnight/to dog sit. My services would include house sitting and coming to your home to dog sit/walk/have play dates with your animals!

About: I’ve taken care of various breeds of dogs for years, i’m also trained to administer medications if need be for your special needs pups. Don’t fret or worry about your pets while on vacation, i will update you with pictures and texts everyday. I myself am a dog mom to five fur kids and understand the want to make sure your pets are in great hands. I currently do dog sitting full time so I will have plenty of time to play, care for, and give potty breaks for your fur kids! I stay in touch with the owner of the pet to ensure safety and trust, I also prefer to have a description of daily care and needs so your pup can keep his/her routine while you are away.

“Gabby did a great job on coming by the house and walking Goldie while I was out of town. I received text messages when she was picked up, dropped off, and details of the walk taken, and how many times there bio functions done. She is a really conscientious sitter, and took great care avoiding other dogs that might be a problem on the walk. I would hire her again, and recommend her to anyone that needs a dog walker.”

About: I have owned and cared for dogs my entire life and will treat your dogs as if they were my own, with love and affection and a sense to have all the fun! I can bring toys and if you request my own pup to play she loves new friends I've walked dogs for friends, family and to those who requested it via my sitting and walking ads. Any special needs you may have for your pet can be easily met such as dietary, grooming requests or special medication. I can ensure you your dog will be well taken care of and in the best possible hands! I work remotely so I can mend my schedule to help take care of your furry friend. Just let me know what you need and we can work something out! I have a fenced in back yard with plenty of room for sunbathing or watching the birds go by. My neighborhood is nice and safe for use to take regular walks throughout the day!
