Grigorri showed that he was passionate about animals from the very beginning. He is hospitable and recognizes the needs of a pet parent because he is a good one himself.

About: I’m a lifelong dog owner with hands-on experience caring for a wide range of breeds, from energetic puppies to quirky seniors. I work from home, so I’m able to offer tons of attention, exercise, and consistency throughout the day. Having lived with everything from labs to Pyrenees mixes, I understand the importance of meeting each dog’s unique needs, whether that’s structured walks, gentle senior care, or patient socialization for shy pups. I’m comfortable with big dogs and independent personalities, and my own experience training puppies and supporting older dogs means your pup is in caring, knowledgeable hands.What sets me apart is my lifelong experience caring for a variety of breeds—including puppies and seniors—and my work-from-home flexibility means dogs get real companionship and attention all day. I understand big, independent, and quirky personalities, and I prioritize individualized care, from puppy training to gentle support for older dogs. I take the time to get to know every dog, building trust through patience, routine, and play. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life, not an afterthought. Since I work from home, I’m able to integrate walks, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day—whether it’s a morning stroll, afternoon games in the park, or relaxed evenings together. My routine is flexible, so dogs always get outside for fresh air and exercise and receive plenty of attention between my work sessions. On weekends, I love exploring new neighborhoods, local parks, or heading to the beach—always bringing dogs along for new adventures. Whether it’s active pups needing stimulation or seniors who prefer a calm presence, I adapt my days to make sure every dog feels comfortable, safe, and part of my everyday world. When caring for pets in my home, I make sure they’re comfortable, safe, and integrated into my daily routine—regular walks to nearby parks or the beach, supervised playtime, and cozy rest spots throughout my home. I keep to each dog’s familiar schedule as much as possible, including feeding times, exercise, and any training or medication routines. In a client’s home, I respect their space and routines, making sure pets feel secure in their own environment. I follow all instructions closely, from special diet needs to unique quirks or favorite toys, and keep in touch with updates and photos so owners know their pets are happy and cared for. Most importantly, I treat every dog like they’re my own—with patience, structure, and genuine affection—whether they’re here for a day, a weekend, or longer.

About: What sets me apart is my genuine commitment to the well-being of every pet and my ability to adapt to their individual needs, treating them as if they were part of my own family. I have experience caring for both puppies and senior dogs and cats. With puppies, I help reinforce basic training routines such as potty training, leash walking, and early obedience, always using patience and positive reinforcement. With senior pets, I am especially attentive to their pace, mobility, diet, and medication if needed, providing them with calm, consistent, and gentle care. In addition, I am very observant of animal behavior, which allows me to quickly notice any changes in their mood or health. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and accompanied at all times, while maintaining clear and consistent communication with their owners. More than just pet care, I offer trust, affection, and responsibility. Since I work from home, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time to caring for pets during the day. I can easily adapt to each pet’s needs, whether it’s visits, walks, or in-home care. I am mainly available on weekdays and can also plan for weekends with advance notice. When caring for pets in my home or in the owner’s home, I make sure to carefully follow all instructions. I maintain their feeding, walking, and rest routines, and provide attention, affection, and a calm environment. I am very mindful of their safety, cleanliness, and well-being, ensuring they feel comfortable and cared for at all times.

Wanda seemed really kind and caring from the second Koda met her! She took care of him for a week while we were on vacation and it seems like he had a great time playing with Wanda’s pup, Casey. It would be nice if Wanda provided more daily updates, I had to ask a few times to see how he was doing. Overall, Wanda seems like a very kind and reliable sitter.

We feel so much at ease when we leave our dog with Oscar and Gaelle. They always send us cutest video updates. We tried 3 other sitters on Rover when Oscar was not available , each time our dog had diarrhea after we picked her up (either stress related or elsa ate something she shouldn’t eat) . Never had a problem when Elsa stayed with Oscar. Looked always happy and healthy.

Lauren has watched our sweet but needy and anxious pup several times. She is always very responsive and accommodating. She takes great care of her so much so we don’t worry a bit while away, even when gone for a long weekend. We’re moving to the other side of town and actually considering traveling to keep Lauren as a sitter. 5 stars!

Joe (and his puppy Rose) were amazing with Maple! We were so glad to have another dog for Maple to play with while we were gone, and it sounds like they became best friends. Joe was extremely communicative, helpful, and knowledgeable about taking care of dogs. He was accommodating with drop off/pick up times and great to talk with. Highly recommend Joe to others and would book him again!
