About: I've been pet sitting for friends and family for over four years now, caring for large and small dogs but especially senior dogs. I can give meds or provide special care for all animals of age. I'm also very active and am interested in giving energetic pups the exercise they need while you're gone or away! I'm a full time student at Valencia College with a partial weekday schedule. I'm available for drop in on some weekday evenings and I'm perfect for weekend trips away or even longer weekends trips. I do not provide in-home boarding however I'm a diligent caretaker who's comfortable with most dogs and I have a confident approach with animals of all kinds.

About: I had a reactive dog for the last 18 years. I understand the quirks and behaviors of dogs very well. I will always listen to the owner's advice and not assume that I know best. I am currently unemployed, so this is my priority! I am available 24/7 until I am out of town for family obligations. I am excited to get some much-needed exercise with your pets. I was a helicopter mom with my dog. I took him to the vet pretty quickly. I will notice any change in your dog and notify you right away.

About: I fortunately have 6+ years experience working in the veterinary field and I’ve also been pet sitting for 10 years, for close friends, family, neighbors, and colleagues of mine. I can take care of special needs pets, giving oral or injectable medications and changing diapers or applying creams. I got you covered! I’m currently part-time at my job so I have ample time for play dates, walks, sleep overs, whatever your pet care needs may be! I have a large fenced in yard, treats for both dogs and cats, toys for both dogs and cats, and a medium size crate if needed I can provide for those of our furry friends who are crate trained.

About: I am a military veteran with a background as a Military Police officer and K9 handler, with over 10 years of experience caring for dogs and cats. I have worked with working breeds, high-energy dogs, and family pets, providing daily care such as feeding, basic medication administration, leash handling, enrichment, and structured routines. I am comfortable caring for puppies, senior pets, and dogs that benefit from consistent boundaries and positive reinforcement. My K9 experience has strengthened my situational awareness, patience, and ability to read animal behavior to ensure safe, calm, and positive interactions. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I drop my son off at daycare at 8:30 AM and pick him up at 5:00 PM. I can also provide service after 8:00 PM if night checks are needed. I am available for walks, drop‑ins, check‑ins, and extended care at any time between those hours and late nights. My consistent weekday availability allows me to maintain reliable routines and provide focused, unrushed care. Safety is my top priority. I follow all owner instructions closely, maintain secure leash handling, and remain aware of surroundings during walks and visits. In clients’ homes, I respect boundaries, keep spaces clean, and ensure doors, gates, and crates are properly secured. My law enforcement and K9 background has trained me to anticipate risks, remain calm, and make sound decisions to keep pets safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times.

About: Experienced, compassionate pet sitter recently relocated. I am available all times of day weekdays, weekends and holidays. I have experience administering meditation to both cats and dogs. I currently have two special needs pets of my own, one of which is a blind, deaf dog and the other is a FIV positive cat, so I am capable of caring for animals who may have special needs and who take time to warm up to new friends. No baby is too big or too small for me, I have lived with and cared for Rottweilers, cattle dogs, hounds, terriers, cats, guinea pigs, and fish! Every pet care is different, I do everything I can to maintain pet scheduling! I care immensely for security of the clients home, I diligently ensure exterior doors are locked and secure before leaving. Every pet care is different, I do everything I can to maintain their individual usual routine! I care immensely about home security and the safety of pets, I diligently ensure exterior doors are locked and secure before leaving.

About: Hi there! I have grown up in a household of dogs all of my life, from adolescence to adulthood. I’m a dependable, loyal person that wholeheartedly loves dogs and the added joys they bring to our lives. My fiancé and I are parents to two rescue pups — a sweet german shepherd named Haylie, and an even sweeter beagle/coonhound mix named Lady. Please reach out with any additional questions you may have 😊 I’m seeking to make Rover my full-time job and will have virtually open availability intertwined with my personal schedule/daily routine. I’m a morning and daytime person (not a night owl) and my availability typically won’t extend past 7-8pm unless there is a special circumstance :) I will follow provided instructions tightly and will ensure your pet(s) are happy, healthy and loved while I am with them. Long walks and snuggles are my specialty!

About: I’m an experienced pet lover with 4+ years caring for dogs of all sizes, cats, and other animals. I’ve taken care of pets since I was little, and I always treat them like family. I’m reliable, gentle, and committed to keeping your pets happy, safe, and comfortable. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine. I make time every day for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins, and I’m flexible with my schedule so I can adjust to each pet’s needs. Whether it’s early-morning walks, mid-day visits, or evening care, I fit pet care smoothly into my day because it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully to keep the pet’s routine as normal as possible. I handle feeding, walks, litter or potty clean-up, playtime, and any special care the pet needs. I also keep the home tidy, respect their space, and make sure the pet feels safe and cared for while the owner is away.

About: I grew up on 6 acres of land caring for virtually every type of pet you could imagine for the first 15 years of my life. I even started a YouTube channel when I was 13 years old and accumulated 41k followers and over 26 million views, just by sharing my love and compassion for animals! I currently have 3 dogs, 3 cats, a snake, and a bird and would love to help you and your fur babies in your time/s of need. I cannot do overnight housesitting at this time, but I can spend the days at your home if you need :) I currently stay home during the day with my sweet, gentle, animal-loving 1-year-old girl, and only work 3 days a week for a few hours. When I’m not home, my boyfriend is so we have all the time in the world to give your fur babies the time and attention they need and deserve! I am an above-and-beyond type of sitter, not just an ‘only what is in the job description’. I want to give the type of care that I would want my own fur babies to receive!

About: I have several years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds — including dogs, cats, small animals, and even senior pets. My care includes feeding, walking, administering medication, and giving plenty of attention and affection.

About: I have lived with dogs for almost my entire life and I have had my own for 7 years. I always make sure I have time to give them attention and care, including frequent visits to the park and many walks each day. I like to take long walks with my client’s dogs so that they recieve the care they deserve. 30 to 60 minute walks are no problem for me. I have a 3 bedroom apartment with plenty of space for the dogs, no fence so only can be out on a leash. Also I have 2 friendly medium dogs.

About: It all starts with love and respect for each dog’s personality and routine. While I mainly focus on walks and occasional drop-ins, I make sure every dog feels safe, seen, and well cared for during our time together. I’m reliable, calm, and attentive to details like leash safety, hydration, and energy levels—whether your dog prefers a brisk walk or a slower sniff-and-stroll. I’m comfortable following specific instructions, reinforcing basic leash manners, and providing gentle care for puppies or seniors who just need patience and consistency. You’ll always get clear communication and updates so you know your dog is in kind, capable hands. I currently work part time locally but on the days I work I can easily come home on lunch break for any pet care needs. I have a designated room for kitties to feel comfortable with lots of toys, beds/blankets, a litter box, and a fresh water fountain. It is separated from my cat so that they don't need to be afraid and can remain calm even though they're in a new environment.
