About: I've cared for family and friends dogs since I was a teenager, as well as our own dogs. I have experience with diabetic dogs and other medical needs. I work part time and will spend my off time with your pup. I like to meet everyone before sitting so I can get to know their routines and make sure everyone is comfortable! I will care for your pets as you do. I typically visit the home before dogsitting to meet the dog and see what their routine is.

This was my first time trying to find a dog walker for my dog Mila and I’m so very pleased! I was nervous because Mila is usually a bit of an anxious girl when meeting new people but Sarah was so sweet and patient with her. Mila seemed to connect with her instantly and even let Sarah give her some belly rubs towards the end of their first visit! She had fun performing all her favourite tricks in exchange for lots of yummy teats! After Sarah left today Mila continued looking out the window for her so I think she really must have enjoyed her walk! Definitely going to book with Sarah again! :-)

About: ​Hi there! I’m Aryezon, a 26-year-old animal lover from fish, snakes, lizards, bunnies, cats, dogs and horses who truly believes there’s no better way to spend the day than with a furry companion. Whether it’s a high-energy hike or a cozy overnight cuddle, I treat every pet like they are a member of my own family. ​Experience You Can Trust ​I’m not just a casual pet sitter; I’m an experienced caregiver who has been the go-to person for friends and family for years. I have extensive experience with: • ​Active Dog Walking: Perfect for pups who need to burn off some steam. • ​Drop-In Visits: Quick check-ins for potty breaks, feeding, and play. • ​Overnight Stays: Keeping your pet comfortable and safe in their own home environment. ​Specialized Medical Care ​I understand that some pets need a little extra love and attention. I am fully confident and experienced in: • ​Oral Medication Administration: Ensuring pills or liquids are taken stress-free. • ​Diabetic Care: I am trained in administering insulin shots, so your senior or diabetic pets stay healthy while you’re away. ​My Own Furry Family ​I live with two wonderful pets who taught me everything I know: • ​Soshi: My King Shepherd/Alaskan Malamute mix. Growing up with a large, powerful breed means I’m very comfortable handling "extra-large" personalities! • ​Small: My adorable little black cat. He’s the boss of the house and has made me a true "cat person" who understands feline boundaries and play styles. ​Why Choose Me? ​I’m engaged, reliable, and deeply passionate about animal welfare. I know how stressful it can be to leave your pets behind, which is why I prioritize clear communication, frequent photo updates, and following your specific routine to a T. ​I can’t wait to meet your best friend! I have plenty of time to care for your pets as I only have a family company I work for in the summer so I am always very open and am looking to spend my free time doing things I love, such as taking care of precious animals! ❤️ 1. Professional Preparation ​The Meet & Greet: Allows me to do a walkthrough to learn the pet's hiding spots, security codes, and where supplies are kept. ​Emergency Plan: I have contacts with a vet that is willing to help with any emergency I have. ​2. Constant Communication ​I will send "Proof" Updates: Send photos and videos of your pet eating or playing. This proves they are happy, not just "alive." ​Medical Logging: Since I handle shots and pills, I like to send a "Task Complete" text immediately after administering meds to give the owner peace of mind. ​3. Home & Health Security ​The Headcount: I never leave the house without physically seeing every pet to ensure no one is trapped in a closet or slipped out the door. ​Hazard Spotting: I actively look for and remove dangers (like loose strings or toxic plants) and tell the owner I did so. ​Hygiene: I keep the litter and feeding areas spotless to prevent bacteria growth and to show that I respect the owners home.

Nothing but positive things to say about Jonathon! He is trustworthy, reliable and absolutely adores animals! He has been working with my pup with “leave it” and I am absolutely blown away how responsive my pup is to him in such a short amount of time! He has a magic way with animals for sure!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was little, giving me years of hands-on experience with all kinds of pups. I’m certified in pet CPR and first aid, and I’ve cared for both energetic puppies and gentle senior dogs. Your pet will always be treated with patience, safety, and love. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility for walks, visits, and quality time with your pet. I’m able to schedule morning, afternoon, or early evening appointments, and I make sure each pet gets the attention they need without feeling rushed. Whether it’s puppy playtime, a calm stroll with a senior dog, or regular check-ins, I can easily adjust my schedule to fit their routine and yours. When I’m pet sitting, I follow your dog’s routine as closely as possible, feeding times, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. I keep their environment calm and familiar, give them lots of attention, and make sure they always feel safe. I also keep you updated with photos and messages so you know how your pup is doing. I provide safe, structured walks tailored to your dog’s energy level and needs. Whether they need a slow stroll, a quick potty break, or a longer, more active walk.

About: I’ve been caring for animals my whole life and grew up with both dogs and horses, which helped me develop a strong understanding of animal behavior, routines, and individual needs. I also raised my own mid-sized dog from puppyhood and have hands-on experience with leash manners, house training, structured walks, and maintaining consistent schedules. I offer dog walking and drop-ins daily, and boarding and daycare on the weekends. I’m available for regular afternoon walks and visits as I work from home, allowing me to show up reliably and on time. I’m happy to do solo walks or small paired walks with my own friendly dog, depending on your pet’s comfort level and preferences. For dogs staying in my home, I live in a full house with a large yard and limit care to dogs from one household at a time to ensure plenty of individual attention. Walks can range from relaxed neighborhood strolls to longer hikes, and I always provide detailed updates and photos after each visit. My priority is dependable care, clear communication, and making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for—whether it’s for a quick walk or an extended stay.

About: I’ve always loved animals. I had two Golden Retrievers and three cats who were a huge part of my life. They’ve all passed over the last few years, and while I’m not ready for new pets of my own just yet, I’d love to care for yours. I have a soft spot for Golden Retrievers and could really use one to love right now — but no matter the breed, I’ll treat your pet like family. Whether it’s a walk, a visit, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe and cared for. I have a full time job Monday- Thursday. I can be available for drop ins on those evenings if needed. Most Thursdays I’m available after 2. I have off Friday- Sunday and am available for several drop ins and walks When your pet is with me I will treat them as my own. I understand that every dog is unique, and I take the time to learn their quirks, preferences, and routines. My goal is to make them feel at home while you’re away, giving you peace of mind and your pet a new friend they can trust.

About: Hey hey! My name is Lauren and I have years of experience pet sitting all types of animals including dogs, cats, lizards, fish, bunnies, and more! I do not have a fenced in yard but I love walking and spending time outdoors to give your fur baby some exercise and fresh air. Some responsibilities I’ll take on (but not limited to) are feeding, walking, boarding, taking pets to vet appointments, administering medicine, minor grooming, and providing a fun, safe companionship! I am reliable, trustworthy, and full of energy! No pet is too big, loud, or rambunctious. I am able and willing to give your pet the attention and care that it deserves. I work from home leaving me with a flexible and open schedule to care for your pet. I love going for morning walks and visiting the park near my house after work. I have two different sized crates if needed. I have extra dog beds. Any messes are cleaned up immediately. Water bowls are changed and rinsed out regularly. The environment will always be sanitary and free of anything that may harm your pet. Doors are always locked if left alone and at night.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cat since 19. I also had them in the home I grew up in. However, I have also cared for pregnant mommas of both types. Including their babies once born. Are you at work and need a check in / potty break? Dog needs a walk? Vacation time!! Need a babysitter. I’m here for those. Currently not working so I have plenty of time take care of any furbabies that need me. Within my availability depending on my travel dates. I can help out in any basic animal needs so you can feel less worried or in a rush to get home. In my home I can care for your animal in and outside. I do prefer no crates unless in “heat” while another animal is here. No pregnancies on my watch. I do require to know what they are allowed to do in the house normally and what outside for consistency. Travel to your home I ask what specifically you require along with the normal amount of attention any animal would want. And Same here about what’s allowed and not.

About: Hello, I am an energetic dog sitter with experience watching large and small dogs. My family has always had Bernese Mountain Mountain dogs- so I have a great experience with gentle giants. I have dog sat for families with ranging dog breeds, from a puppy Boston Terrier to a German Sheppard. I currently have a work-from-home job which allows me to work from any location and I am looking to make some new furry friends. My experience has mainly been limited to family and friends but I am hoping to expand my clientele. I am a trustworthy, loyal and committed person so I would be transparent when communicating all dog sitting updates. I understand that every dog has their own habits and schedule. My expectations are flexible for each client as every dog and owner has their set lifestyle. I look forward to working with you and meeting your furry friend(s) - Nikki

About: Hello, my name is Brianna and I love animals! I worked at Petsmart for six years and have always had dogs in my home. I think dogs need love, attention, social situations, and lots of exercise to truly thrive. I had my own Pomeranian /poodle mix dog named Diesel for 10 years that I absolutely adored before his recent passing. I have met and worked with many types of dogs throughout my life. I currently have a very open schedule as I am between work contracts for a couple months. I have a lot of time to help care for your buddy! I have taken care of my own dog for all ten years of his life. I loved to cuddle with him and play with him. I love all dogs and love to see them happy.

About: I have personally owned and loved dogs since I was a child. All of them were rescues and ranged in size from sweet 30 pounders to 120 giant pounds of love. There is nothing like the unconditional love they bring to a family. I always observed that regular walks made our dogs, and myself as well, happier and healthier. At one point we had two dogs which was double the pleasure. Sadly, our circumstances no longer allow for us to own a pup of our own and I very much miss those daily walks together. I would love the opportunity to get to know you and your pooch and to help you care for this most important aspect of his or her wellness. Let’s make it happen!

About: I’ve retired from running a large cat rescue organization where I acquired an accumulation of 30+ years devoted to loving, caring and doting on literally thousands of cats and kittens. If regular medical care is needed I am able to give pills, insulin, and SubQ fluids. I have a comprehensive understanding of the feline spirit so frightened or grumpy cats do not discourage me from providing loving care. I’m happy to send daily updates and pictures of your cat to ensure that you know your baby is experiencing his or her own mini-vacation filled with baby talk and unparalleled spoiling. I’m retired and have full availability and flexibility to provide care according to your cat or dog’s schedule. Keeping your fur-kid on his or her routine is paramount to the care I provide. I understand the importance of ensuring your cat’s safety with the proper opening and closing of entrance doors so your baby does not run outside. Litterboxes will be scooped on each visit. Fresh water and clean food bowls are a “must do”. Happy to bring in newspapers from the driveway and mail to keep your home looking lived-in.
