About: Hello! I have not had pets of my own because of apartment living restrictions however have taken care of friends pets (cats and dogs) for over five years. I am a responsible, kind, and active sitter that respects your pets space and sticks to their routine as close as possible while you are away. My approach is grounded in deep kindness and lots of care. I am gentle with pets and attuned to their needs. Overall, I am dependable and easy to communicate. Because of my flexible work I can be around most of the day if that's what your pet needs or drop by as needed. Looking forward to meeting your furry loves and caring for them while you are away. I’m open to recurring dog walking gigs! My work is flexible and therefore I am available to support your pet's regular routine. I am available to lounge and play with your furry members as needed. I am attentive, engaging, and ready to play or cuddle. I am eager to learn your pets likes and dislikes and follow their lead on making them feel comfortable while you are away.

“Amanda was great with my fur baby! She was super aware of how hot it was outside and made sure he wasn’t outside too long and spent the extra time giving him love. I would recommend her to anyone for walks”

About: I have had dogs all my life and taken care of friends dogs as well. My first job was with a veterinarian. I understand each pet as an individual with different personalities and needs. I will treat your pet as my own. I am currently working part time days, roughly 4 to 5 hours Sunday through Thursdays, and will have plenty of time in the morning, late afternoon and evenings, to walk and play with your pup. I do not have a yard but will follow your instructions to the T with respect for your pet and your home. I realize each pet is different, with their own personality and needs.

“Julia is phenomenal. Whether she is dog/puppy sitting for an extending period of time or daily walks with our pooch, she provides such great care for our dog while providing you peace of mind with her responsible and trustworthy nature. She is also a fantastic communicator. Highly recommend!”

About: I grew up with two dogs from the age of nine, so caring for animals has been part of my life since childhood. I’m calm, attentive, and quick to read a pet’s body language and needs. I’m patient with nervous or high energy pets, comfortable with routines like medication or special diets, and treat every animal like my own. I’m currently applying to law school, which gives me a flexible schedule right now and lets me offer consistent, reliable care throughout the week, including daytime walks, extended stays, and last minute availability. Safety comes first. In your home, I follow your routines and instructions exactly, from feeding and medication schedules to specific house rules, and I monitor pets closely rather than leaving them unsupervised for long stretches. I communicate proactively with updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.

About: I specialize in high energy dogs, walking up to 9 miles a day and 2 hours of high intensity park play time divided between the morning and evening to match a dogs dinural sleep cycles. Every day I do a 3 mile walk to the park where we exercise for an hour before walking home, another walk around lunch weather permitting and ending the day with a 3 mile walk and another hour at the park and a quick potty break before bed. Food is given typically once in the morning and once at dinner to dissuade begging behaviors. Rough play is allowed in open areas and outside, couches and beds are for gentle play and sleeping. If extra energy remains after daily walks a puzzle toy is given to mentally exhaust the dog.

About: What sets me apart is the level of personal attention and care I give to every pet. I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I take the time to learn what makes each pet feel safe and happy. I’m patient, attentive, and dependable, and I’m comfortable caring for pets with different energy levels and personalities, including puppies, senior pets, and pets who may need extra patience or reassurance. I’m also happy to follow specific feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions. I treat pet sitting as more than simply checking in I want each pet to feel comfortable, cared for, and genuinely loved while their owner is away. I also value clear communication with owners and providing updates so they can feel confident their pet is in good hands. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy and naturally make time for in my routine. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal with the same patience, kindness, and attention I would want for my own. I’m attentive to their individual personalities, routines, and comfort levels. Whether that means a morning walk, playtime, meals on schedule, medication, cuddles, or simply being there for companionship, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I also believe communication is important, so I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is doing well. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely comfortable and confident in my care. I prioritize safety, trust, and creating a calm, comfortable environment for every pet in my care. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, needs, and any specific instructions from their owner so they can feel secure and relaxed. In a client’s home, I treat the space with the same care and respect I would my own. I make sure doors, gates, and windows are secure, keep pets away from anything potentially unsafe, and maintain a clean environment. I follow feeding, walking, medication, and other care instructions carefully. I understand that leaving your pet with someone is a big responsibility. I believe in being dependable, communicative, and attentive, and I’m happy to provide updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away.

“Angela is awesome! Was super flexible with me as I needed a dog walker last minute. She was very communicative and made me feel comfortable leaving my pup in her hands! Definitely recommend. Thank you Angela!”

About: I’ve always grew up around dogs. I also enjoy running, so if you have an active doggo; I am more than willing to take them on awesome walks outside to tire them out. I’ve recently moved down here from Northern California and I miss my dogs. I am used to the routine of walking my dogs so I feel like dog sitting would be perfect for me. I also have great experience with bigger and more energetic doggos. I am currently working from home, which allows me to fill my free time with plenty of outdoor time, walks and runs. I don’t mind following your dogs walk/run routine. I am always paying attention to the area I walk dogs, even taking into consideration the temperature outside and things to bring on longer walks is important. Each dog is different so I work with owners to better understand how to best care for each pet.

About: I have been surrounded by animals since childhood. I grew up in Colombia helping my grandmother on her farm, where I cared for dogs, cats, chickens, horses, pigs, and cows. That experience taught me respect, patience, and love for animals of all kinds. My strongest experience is with dogs. I have been caring for my own Pomeranian for over 11 years, and for the past 2 years I have also provided paid pet care for my friend’s dogs. I have experience with puppies as young as 5 months old, as well as senior dogs. One of the most meaningful experiences in my life was caring for my friend’s 13-year-old dog, Layla, during her final days while she was battling liver cancer. Being able to support her with love, comfort, and close attention reinforced my commitment to compassionate pet care. I currently work as a bookkeeper, mostly from home, which allows me to organize my schedule flexibly. This makes it easy for me to provide attentive pet sitting, boarding, and companionship during the day. I generally prefer pet sitting in the owner’s home, but I am also open to short stays in my home, such as weekends, depending on the situation. Longer stays can be discussed if needed. I believe pets are family, and I treat them with the same love and respect I give my own dog. I enjoy talking to dogs, keeping them company, and making sure they feel safe and emotionally comfortable, especially in new environments. I carefully follow all instructions provided by the owner, including feeding routines, medication, walking schedules, and special needs. Regarding food, I prefer to feed pets only the food provided by the owner. If authorized, I am happy to prepare or purchase food following the owner’s exact instructions. I pay close attention to each dog’s condition, preferences, and sensitivities. Dogs in my care are never left unattended. Owners are welcome to bring their dog’s favorite toys, bed, or blanket to help them feel at home. With owner approval, I also enjoy taking dogs to nearby parks so they can enjoy fresh air and gentle exercise.

“Ariana asked great, thorough questions to make sure she knew Buddy before walking him. She's calm, kind and an obvious dog lover! I feel relieved (he's had past behavioral issues) and appreciative of her thoughtful care of Bud. Thank you!”

“If you're ever in need of someone to trust with your pup, Michaela is the one. When Poppy first met her, it was like they had a special connection right away. Michaela has this incredible blend of professionalism and a heartfelt love for dogs that shines through in everything they do. It's not just about the walks; it's the way they genuinely care about Poppy's wellbeing and happiness. Each time they head out for a walk, I receive these adorable updates that bring a smile to my face, no matter how busy my day is. It's those little touches, the photos of Poppy's adventures, and knowing she's in the safest of hands that make all the difference. Michaela doesn't just walk Poppy; they ensure she's having a great time, always considering her needs and moods. To Michaela, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You've made our lives so much brighter, and Poppy absolutely adores you. It's a comfort to know she's with someone as caring and attentive as you. We're so lucky to have found you!”
