About: Hi! I am Destiny, a dependable and dog-loving caregiver with 4 years of experience walking, sitting, and spending time with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and energy levels. Whether you have a high-energy pup that needs long walks or a senior dog who just wants some gentle company, I provide customized care that fits their needs.

I'm experienced in handling animals of all sizes and temperaments and always prioritize their well-being. I'm also happy to follow any specific instructions you provide to maintain consistency with their routine and address any unique needs they may have.

About: I've had pets my entire life, from dogs and cats to small mammals, reptiles, and birds. Growing up in a miniature menagerie taught me responsibility and how to properly care for animals and adapt to each pet's unique needs. Reading animal behavior and connecting with each pet's personality is second nature to me. Whether it's maintaining your pet's familiar routine, providing engaging playtime, or offering companionship, I prioritize making your pets feel secure and loved in your absence. I structure my daily and weekly routine around pet care, ensuring they are fed, exercised, and given attention. Each day, I set aside time for feeding, cleaning up after them, and making sure they have companionship. Weekly, I restock supplies and adjust my schedule as needed to meet their needs. I prioritize each pet’s comfort and personality, letting them set the pace for interactions. When entering a space, I allow the pet to approach me first and get down to their eye level to establish trust. I respect a cat’s independence and let them engage on their terms. When walking dogs, I exercise patience, allowing them to sniff and explore at their own pace, as I’ve learned this helps build trust and confidence. My approach ensures that every pet feels safe, respected, and cared for.

About: I have a lot of love for animals. I am interested in dog walking or taking care of dogs/cats when you just need a little vacation to yourself or a busy day ahead! I have two years of experience with dog sitting. I have taken dogs on walks, stayed over night at the owner's home, fed them, play with them, and clean up after them when they have accidents. I have also taken dogs to vet appointments. I am not afraid of any type of dogs. They have this effect on me that makes me fall in love with them or feel better when I'm feeling down. I’m currently off of my main job as a special needs aide at a middle school as it is summer time! I have a lot of free time right now. I always want pets to feel safe and secure when they’re with me. I like using a soft voice with dogs, unless told to be more stern by the owners. I have experience with dogs that have been abused and are more timid, I usually sit on the floor with them until they trust me enough to come up to me.

Paul & Alanis P.
“My brother is the best pet sitter ever! He watched our dog, Max, and our cat, Whiskers, while we were on vacation. He played fetch with Max every day and gave him his favorite treats. He also made sure Whiskers had plenty of toys to play with and even brushed her fur so she stayed nice and clean.
