About: Hello, my name is Anthony Gonsalves and I have recently worked with “Wag!”. What I love about taking care of pets is the fact that it doesn’t feel like work when I do. I’ve always had a love for walking and watching dogs and I think this will be a great opportunity to expand my experience with dogs on this app as well as making an income out of it too. I think this will be a great experience and I would love to walk and / or sit your dog (or even cat). I will take time out of my day to make sure that your pet is safe and also has a fun time while in my care and I would like to have an opportunity to do so. I have several different hustles and a part time job so pet care fits into my schedule seamlessly. I also have been experienced in pet care for the past 5 years. My building is very pet friendly, however the majority of the time, I go to the owner residence to take care of said pet or animal.

About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was about 10 years old ! I have always been the kind of person who takes in a stray cat or dog or at least feed them. Anytime anyone needs a pet sitter they call me and I gladly provide the services needed ! I currently own two cats who have been raised around dogs due to me being a temporary foster home for pets ! My cats are also friendly towards other cats ( due to the amount of cats I temporally foster ) I’m currently unemployed but I do have a online business which allows me to have an open schedule. With having more time on my hands than the average person I am able to provide care at any moment notice I live in a dog friendly neighborhood with a full sized state park less than 10 minutes away ! What that mean is your dog will get in all the exercise they needs while exciting their sense to a world of unfamiliar smells and sights !

“This was Sasha’s first day care visit. I was very pleased with her demeanor when I picked her up. She was very calm and relaxed than she was this morning for drop off. I feel confident that she enjoyed her visit🥰🥰🥰”


About: I have experience pet sitting for families during vacations, caring for their dogs and cats. This includes feeding, administering medication, and providing companionship, which helped alleviate the pets’ anxiety during their owners’ absence Use a planner or digital calendar to schedule pet care activities around work commitments. Establish a consistent routine for feeding, walking, and playtime to help pets adjust and feel secure. I ensure my home is pet-proofed by removing hazardous items, keeping toxic plants out of reach, and securing trash cans. I also provide a comfortable and safe space for my pet to relax and sleep. Emergency Preparedness: I have a plan in place for emergencies, including a list of important contacts (veterinarian, pet poison control), and I keep a pet first aid kit handy.

About: Since 2019, I’ve been providing loving, reliable pet care with experience in dog sitting, house sitting, drop-in visits, walks, and more. I bring high energy, patience, and genuine passion to every animal I care for. Whether it’s a playful pup, a shy cat, or a senior dog who just needs gentle companionship, I show up with consistency, love, and respect for their unique needs. Your pets are family—and I treat them like it. I’m a full-time caregiver with a flexible, free-range schedule—I don’t work a traditional 9 to 5. When I’m not cat or dog sitting, I’m usually babysitting, doing side gigs, or making deliveries with Uber Eats and DoorDash. My days are adaptable, which allows me to give plenty of attention, care, and time to the pets I’m responsible for. I’m available for check-ins, walks, and overnight stays based on what your pet needs! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on creating a calm, clean, and safe environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely—feeding, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and comfort. In my home, I keep the space cozy, pet-proofed, and welcoming with lots of love and supervision. In the client’s home, I respect the space and maintain their pet’s normal routine so they feel secure and stress-free. I send regular updates, photos, and always go the extra mile to ensure your pet is happy and cared for like family.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10.

About: I love dogs/cats. I used to own and train a Black labrador puppy. Now I spend time watching other people's dogs/cats. I do not own any pets currently so if your dog/cat doesn't get along with other pets, this is the perfect place for them. I can take care of special needs dogs as well. I work from home so I can walk your dog and/or feed your pet during the day. I'm also free on the weekends and after work to take care of your pet, as needed. As noted on my profile, I can also watch your pet during the day at my house or board your pet overnight. I have a big back yard without a fence and a deck on the second level. There is a nice walking trail and a dog park in my neighborhood.

About: I've been drawn to saving and helping animals my whole life. I can't imagine my life without animals, helping them is the thing that fills me with so much energy to keep going. I love interacting with them, I love making an impact so they can have better lives. I would love for it to be something I can do for a living! I can't imagine to be fulfilled in any other job . A regular workday usually goes about like this: 6am - Get up, go for a short (15 minute or so) walk. 6:30 - Breakfast in food-dispensing toy for dog, coffee for human. 7:45 - Human leaves for work, dog sleeps in bedroom. 4:45pm - Back from work. We spend about an hour walking, fetching, playing, training. 6ish: Dinner (food-dispensing toy for the dog). Hang out for the rest of the night. Dog might get a kong or bone to chew on. 9: Short potty break before bed. Dog then retreats to bed for the rest of the night. The specific tasks and level of care provided depend on the individual needs of the pet and the services offered, but generally include feeding, grooming, exercising, monitoring health, and providing companionship.

8. Théa S.
“I can’t recommend Thea Shaw enough as a dog sitter. From the moment we met, I could tell she had a natural connection with animals. My dog instantly felt comfortable around her, which says a lot—he’s usually slow to warm up to new people. Thea is attentive, reliable, and genuinely caring. She kept me updated with photos and little notes while I was away, giving me complete peace of mind. When I came home, my dog was calm, happy, and clearly well taken care of. It’s such a relief to know that someone as trustworthy and compassionate as Thea is just a call away when I need help. She’s truly one of a kind!”

“Eucalyptus aka (star) for short. Is such an extraordinary sitter. I requested pet sitting for about two weeks, at my home. She looked after snow, my k-9 pup who is in training. As a national police dog. she taught snow some commands, as well as followed all the procedures of my care guidelines, and policies. Snow adores Star, and they’ve developed a great bond. I also have some additional pets, that Star cared for, such as my sweet birdies west and north. She kept there cages tidy and made sure to get some socializing entertainment activities in, as, requested. Most importantly Star kept my home neat, and did house chores I did not require. She really is a superstar!”
