Samantha is great. We did an intro to dogs before actually booking. She’s great and was very patient in explaining how it works step by step. On her first visit she sent me updates via pictures as well as a nice summary of their walk! Will definitely be re booking. My dogs were highly satisfied as well.

About: I’ve taken care of pets for the past five years, I’ve treated them like my own and fulfill all their needs and treat them with love. I’ve taken care of all sizes of animals and have also provided medication to some. I can say I am a dog whisperer I do walk them bathe and cut hair. I do dogsitting and dogwalking as my career I am available during the week and weekends and most importantly I dedicate time to each and every pet I take care of. I am trustworthy I’ve house sat for many clients of mine and haven’t received a complaint I won’t do pass my limits and I respect privacy in your own home.

Anne was so kind and sweet to our Brittany spaniel puppy who is full of energy, and can be a handful :) Anne came over on short notice and was on-time. Despite the fact that it was pouring rain, Anne made an effort to have fun on the walks she took with our dog, playing in leaves and splashing in puddles. Our dog came back happy and tired, overall an excellent experience and would certainly work with her again!

About: With over five years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, including puppies, senior dogs, and senior cats with specific needs, I’m dedicated to providing personalized care for each pet. I’ve dog-sat up to six dogs and two cats (in one household) at a time and have been trusted by neighbors to care for their pets for months at a time. I understand that each pet requires their own unique routine, and I’m always happy to accommodate. From special diets to loving attention, I ensure every angel feels safe and loved in my care. Pet care fits beautifully into my life. I have a very flexible schedule and work mostly from home while pursuing my yoga certification. This gives me plenty of time and presence to devote to your pets, ensuring they receive attentive, loving care throughout the day. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on creating a calm, loving, and consistent environment where your baby feels safe and cherished. I follow your routines closely — from feeding schedules and walks to cuddles and playtime — and I always prioritize your pet’s comfort, emotional well-being, and any special needs they may have. I treat each home with respect and care, just like I would my own, and make sure your pet feels nurtured and at peace the entire time you’re away.

About: Ive cared for many dogs and cats for friends, family, and neighbors. My family has a business based on dog care and training, a business ive fairly been involved in since i was 15. Comfortable in dealing with pets of all breeds and sizes. I am currently a part-time student with a flexible work schedule. My availability is early mornings in order to avoid heat exhaustion for the dogs,then later in the evenings. Depending on preference, we can work time schedules. Having 4 family dogs, i take them outside first thing in the morning then periodically throughout the day. I stay outside with them to play or just watch over making sure they dont get overheated. My cats eat first thing in the morning then relax or play throught the day. The Cats usually have a timed feeding and are active at least once a day. Both dogs and cats are brushed every other day to maintain a clean and shiny coat.

About: I'm a furmom to a pittie, a husky mix and a really chonky cat. I've been a petsitter for several friends and have volunteered as a foster for numerous rescues. I'm experienced in bottlefeeding newborn puppies and kittens as well as house training younger pets. I'm a salaried employee for the RGV Vipers and set my own work schedule, so I'm able to be flexible with my working hours to accommodate pets. I have a spare bedroom where I can host bottle babies when applicable. The bedroom is within earshot of my bedroom and will provide them with a safe space to stay.

About: Hi!! My name is Andrea and im 23 years old. I just graduated college and am looking for some part time work. I LOVE pets and have 3 of my own!!! I recently lost my childhood frenchie and have been having a hard time coping, but getting to spend time around dogs and cats makes me feel much better. I would take amazing care of your furry friend and make sure they are safe and happy :) I have plenty of time to play with your pets! I am not currently working any other job, as I am applying to PA school, so I have plenty of time on my hands! I treat all pets like they are my own. In my house, we treat our pets the way we treat each other, with love and respect. That being said, we do hold a standard for them in terms of potty training and behavior. We constantly take our dogs for walks to make sure they go potty when they need to and get some outside/exercise time!

About: I have 3 dogs and 1 cat. My oldest dog is 16 years old and 80 pounds and my youngest is 5 years old and 20 pounds, therefore I am able to take care of a wide range of pets. I find joy in providing pets with happiness and would love to make pet owners life’s more comfortable and reassurance that their pets are well taken care of. I am currently a student, so I am not looking for a high demanding job. This job allows me flexibility, and fits into my schedule. I care for my pets by making sure they are fed and given water. I also take them outside, giving them time to run and play. I love to play with all animals and never wish to see them bored.

About: I work well with shy cats. I take caring for their personal space seriously. I have watched cats ranging from 1-cat households to 6-cat households. I always pay attention to any special needs and care. I am working full-time but I am happy to spend my afternoons, evenings, and weekends for cats. I am willing to even go full-time sitting on weekends. My day job goes from 8:30 AM to 5:30 PM. I will immediately head to your cat(s) after work if necessary. I pay absolute attention to what the cat needs. I have worked with senior cats to kittens and accomodate them whenever necessary. I also send daily photos to owners when they miss them. I will always contact the owners if anything ever comes up. I like to be thorough in my cat-sitting that way.

About: My entire life I have always had a love and passion for animals. I grew up caring for a variety of different animals of all ages and species and wholeheartedly believe that they are not just a pet, but a member of your family. In addition, I am also an employee at the San Diego Humane Society so I consider my background and knowledge of animals to be extensive. I am currently the mom to a 4 year old Chow Chow named October, a 1 year old Saint Bernard named Valentine, and a 8 year old mastiff named November 💘 If you have a question concerning availability just ask and I will work with you to make sure both yours and your pets needs are being accommodated for! My pets are my children so I ensure they never go a day without getting spoiled with lots of love and attention. Due to my history with animals I am very well versed in day to day caretaking tasks such as feeding, walking, bathing, administering oral medication, etc.

About: I have my own dog, he is going to be 5 y/o. He is genuinely the only dog I have trained and cared for around daily, but I have also cared for family & friends pets while they are away for a few days and have fed, walked and let them out to go potty. I am excited to meet you and your pups! I’m currently home for the summer and have an open schedule! I will have plenty of time to be present and active with y’all’s pups. I also have a dog of my own so hopefully they can get around and burn some energy together as well. I will be caring for them in my house, so no need to worry about the services since I’ll be able to give them the full doggy sitting services as needed!

About: Hello! My name is Mel! I’ve been taking care of pups for about a decade. This includes having my own as well as taking care of friends pups and fostering. I’ve been fostering for rescues for about the same amount of time and have gained so much experience and knowledge from it. I can assist with senior pups, medications, allergies, food diets, etc. I specialize in “crackhead energy” dogs. This includes Belgians, shepherds, heelers, etc. I love high energy dogs but also love a low energy one too! All dogs are good, sometimes we just need someone to help understand them :). If anyone is going to love and care for your baby as much as you do, it’s going to be me :) I work full time but when I’m not at work, my days revolve around my dogs! Potty in the morning and afternoon as well as long fetch sessions. I take my energetic girls on 1-3 mile jogs about 4 days a week to help dispel their energy and keep them engaged! This is also training time. All pups are kenneled at home when I’m not there or at work for their own safety. Dogs are curious babies and will get into just about anything that can hurt them. I also have a fenced backyard and nobody is ever unsupervised. I have 6 pups at home at this time and everyone gets attention.

About: I have taken care of dogs all my life. When I was younger, I had many dogs and loved to cuddle and play with them. I have a big backyard for them to play in, and maybe they can hop in the pool if their parents allow it! I can also take them to the park, where we’ll have a fun time together. Hello my name is Judith Peña. I currently work part time usually towards the end of the week. My schedule is I’m pretty much free the whole week so I’m mostly at home. With school ending I only have one class in the morning till 9:30 and then I’m free the rest of the day. My yard is fenced in, so if you don't feel comfortable with your pet being off the leash outside, that's completely fine. We can go for a little stroll around my community. On top of my yard being gated, my community is also gated, so you can say there is extra protection.

About: I love to take care of pets. I think fur babys are very interesting mammals to have and take care of, because of how cute and smart animals can be. I’m free any day, so the pet owner can request a day they need me to care for their pets. I’m willing to work around their schedule. I care for pets in general by playing with games with them, giving them treats, sometimes I like to teach them new tricks, and giving rubs.

About: I have owned dogs my whole life because I love their companionship. I love their entertaining nature and different personalities. I enjoy playing, training, walking, entertaining, talking, and singing with dogs. I just find them fascinating and amusing to watch and be in their company. I have owned plenty dogs. I have owned chichuahas, schnauzers, dobermans, pit bulls, bulldogs I dont have a preference. If I feel a connection I go with it. Every dog has a purpose and they are wonderful little gifts that one should not take for granted. They can be heroes when you least expect it and matter more than people care to think. I can promise to treat your dog like one of my own and spoil them like they deserve. Pet care fits right in my life because I have always owned or cared for a fur baby almost all my life. It just fits in because it is what I have been doing since I was a kid. I work from home so I am always with the babies. I make sure to stay attentive and keep the doggies entertained and busy. I play and talk to them constantly and treat them as little toddlers that dont listen and cant stay still.

About: Grew up my whole life with dogs around the house and was always the first one someone would call if they needed pet care. I have a big heart and I believe dogs can sense that when they’re with me and they always feel comfortable around me. I would love to help you out whenever you need! I am a professional basketball player and when I’m in my offseason all I do is train and have so much free time to take care of your pets for you! I make my own training schedule and I’m usually done by 12pm but I can work around anything! I am a very trustworthy person and will treat your pets like they were my own. If I have to keep them at my house I can, I have a house with a big backyard and fenced in. I will treat your house with respect as well.
