“I am so grateful for how well Julie took care of Teddy. She sent pictures and videos and it really helps me not feel guilty for being gone when I see that he's having fun with someone he likes.”

“Gabriella was so patient and gentle with our fur babies. Our dog was unsure about a new face in the house while we were out of town. And Gabriella took the time to ease her and comfort her until she was comfortable with her being there. She went above and beyond for us, giving us updates and beautiful pictures while we were gone. We will definitely be asking for her pet sitting service in the future.”


About: I am truly a die hard dog lover and I treat every dog as if it were my own. I currently have two dogs and I know how it feels to have to entrust another person to care for them in the same way you would. I've had pets (cats & dogs) my entire life. All animals are different, like humans, and my approach is to provide a bespoke experience to make her/his/their time with me the best ever! As much information as you can share about your pet the better I can create the ultimate vacation for your furbaby! Walks, hikes, dog park, relax and chill, bathing, Play dates, beach, … Pick-up & Drop-off is included in my rate complimentary. I can provide references as well for your comfortability. Thank you! I work from home and have a flexible work schedule so I can adjust my time to what is needed. My goal is to make your pet as comfortable and happy as possible. I have a large wrap around deck that is closed off with pet gates. I am outside if dogs are outside I am extremely mindful and present while with your pet.
“Amberleigh came to watch my cat over the weekend, and when I got home my cat didn't scratch my eyes out, which means she was happy and well taken care of! Amberleigh sent pictures and updates and even made sure the house heater was on so my cat would be comfortable. Thank you!”

About: I've cared for dogs of all ages (horses too!) since I was a kid. My dogs are seniors so I understand their particular needs well. I'm currently freelancing from home part-time and will have plenty of time to care for and play with your pets. Walks are part of boarding, of course. I have a fenced yard and two friendly, calm dogs to keep your pets company. I give my dogs homemade organic treats and will adhere to all rules you have about play, treats, walks, etc.
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats for many years through family, friends, and neighbors, and I’m very comfortable handling daily routines like feeding, walking, medication, and overnight care. I pay close attention to each pet’s habits and comfort level. I’m reliable, communicative, and respectful of both pets and people’s spaces. Pet care fits well into my routine, and I’m able to be present and attentive when I take on a booking. I structure my schedule so I can maintain pets’ normal routines, including meals, walks, playtime, and quiet time. For house sitting and drop-in visits, I prioritize reliability, clear communication, and consistency so both pets and owners feel at ease. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow established routines closely and make safety, consistency, and clear communication a priority. For pets staying with me, I maintain a calm, structured environment and only accept dogs that are a good fit for the space and setting. I’m attentive to individual needs, respectful of boundaries, and always prioritize a pet’s comfort and well-being.

“We love Karina. She spent time getting our dog to be comfortable and she won him over. Can’t say enough positive things about Karina. She definitely has the “touch” when it comes to caring for animals.”

About: Ever since I can remember, myself as well as my family have loved and enjoyed dogs and they have always been a part of our family. I got my first puppy when I was 12 years old. She was a rescue and I had her until I was 26 years old. Her name was Molly. We had many other dogs during that time. My sister's and I were who cared for them all. Although this is my first time running a business caring for dogs, I have taken care of dogs most of my life. Some people call themselves a "people person". I call myself a "dog person". I have always had a natural ability to connect with dogs. Dogs have always loved being with me. I care for them as if they were a child of mine. As I always have said, the more I get to know people; the more I love dogs! I'm currently a student at home so, I am available to give your pet my undivided attention. I treat all animals as if they are my own, like family. I love to spend quality time with animals. I also have good hygiene. I believe this is important because we all know how dirty animals can be. I am gentle and loving.
“OMG! April was amazing! My Basenji boys loved her right away! (...and if you know Basenjis, that's rare!) April was super sensitive to my concern about leaving my babies for a few days. She sent pics and assured me...I would trust her with anything now. I'm so happy to say, we consider her a part of the family! Thank you again April for everything. You made everything easy and calm for all of us. Jim S.”

About: I have a past of dog walking and sitting and I am ready to take care of your pups with a brisk to long walk dependent on their needs! I am equipped with water, poo bags, and lots of patience and love. I've been pet sitting long term for over 5 years now doing in home care for an aging but not quite elderly dog and I'm ready to take that care to you! I also have a history of regular playdates with my dog of 9 years and her pals of various ages from elderly to puppy. I always have time to care for a canine! I adore dogs and have patience for their kind like no other. I am available almost always except for special occasions and pre planned events. I am ready to keep your fur babies safe as per your instructions and always have my phone on me in case of emergency contact.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, and for the past 13 years I’ve been consistently caring for my own pups. Over the years I’ve worked with just about every breed you can imagine: Terriers, Huskies, Dobermans, Pitbulls, Boxers, Chihuahuas, Yorkies, Labs, Schnauzers, Poodles, Pomeranians, Border Collies, German Shepherds, Great Pyrenees, and more. No matter the size, age, or personality, I love getting to know each dog and what makes them happiest. At home, my wife and I share life with two Huskies and a cat, who we treat like our kids (yes birthdays and all!). Because I know how important our pets are to us, I extend the same level of love, patience, and care to every pet I look after. I come prepared with tandem leashes, a pet stroller, and standard leashes for walks of all kinds. I always pick up after your pup and make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and enjoying their time outside. For peace of mind, I’ve completed First Aid & CPR training (through both college and my career), and I stay up-to-date on general emergency response. While my certifications are human-focused, my training has given me the ability to quickly assess situations and take action; whether that means recognizing signs of overheating, making sure hydration is available, or adjusting for temperature and activity levels. I’m also OSHA certified, which means safety and awareness are second nature to me. Your pets will be in caring, capable hands, and I’ll treat them like my own from the moment we meet. I currently work a full-time government job. My wife is a teacher, so our lives are pretty busy. I am looking to do this as a part-time and enjoy combining a few things I enjoy: pets and exercise. Current Schedule: I get up around Noon, on the days I work (Wed, Thurs, Friday, Sat, Sun) I work from 6PM to 6AM. I will only accept care appointments between 1PM and 4:30PM. On Monday and Tuesday I will accept care appointments between 1PM and 6PM. Currently boarding is off the tables since my wife and I are busy. But I can make drop-in visits! In my home, pets are treated like family. I make sure they always have access to fresh water, healthy food on schedule, clean bedding, and plenty of love and attention. I keep playtime safe but fun, and I’m mindful of the temperature, hydration, and overall comfort of every pet in my care. My own pets get birthday celebrations, vitamins, and daily exercise, and I extend that same level of care to visiting pets. In a client’s home, I respect your routines and follow instructions closely so your pet feels secure in their familiar environment. That means sticking to feeding schedules, cleaning litter boxes or outdoor areas, refreshing water bowls, and making sure walks, playtime, and cuddle time happen as you prefer. I also handle clean-up (messes, accidents, fur, or litter) so your home is just as you left it. My goal in either setting is to keep pets happy, healthy, and comfortable while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in capable and loving hands.
About: I’ve taken care of all types of pets! From fish to birds to dogs, I love them all. I have experience taking care of puppies and also senior dogs, like my pup of 14 years. I’d love to make sure your pal is well taken care of! I’m currently working part time so I’ll have plenty of time for your furry friends! I’m available most days and am fully willing to work with your schedules! My home is fully fenced in front and back yard so no worries about unwanted friends. I’m comfortable with adapting to what makes your pet comfortable, may that be more quality time, enrichment, outside time, or whatever they may need.

About: I’ve grown up with pets my entire life. I don’t have a preference I love dogs and cats. I currently live with a red golden retriever and a orange short hair cat. I currently work part-time while attending school full-time, so I value being responsible, organized, and dependable with my schedule. I’m fully available on weekdays and committed to giving pets the attention, care, and exercise they need during walks and drop-in visits. Growing up with both a dog and a cat has given me experience with different pet personalities and needs. I understand that some pets are energetic and need patience on walks, while others may be more independent or shy. My own golden retriever can be very excited and pull on the leash, so I’m comfortable handling high-energy dogs during walks. I also have experience giving medication and hiding pills in treats or food when needed because my dog has allergies. I always focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while keeping owners updated.
About: let me take care of your furry family member. I love dogs, I have a flexible schedule and will give your dog the attention and care they need! If your dog likes I can take them to my local dog park once or twice a day. I am available for dog walking, or more strenuous exercise, overnight stays at your house. I love to walk dogs, and this city has many great places to do it! let me help make for a happier pet and a happier you. I have a very flexible schedule, mostly working from home, so ill be able to spend more time with your pets, and im not usually away from home for long periods of time. My home is great for dogs, they will have access to a spacious backyard, through a dog door, everything is dog safe from when I had a dog several years ago
About: Can soothe anxious pets and pet parents:) I have taken care of dogs, cats, chickens, bunnies, snakes, and fish. I have a very flexible schedule.

“Cesar is amazing!! He took care of my three cats while we were out of town for our wedding, over the past 9 days our kitties were in great care with Cesar’s drop in visits! He went above and beyond our expectations. Truly kept the litter boxes clean and swept around them! He changed their food and water and made sure they were safe! Cesar is trust worthy and respectful! He kept us updated throughout the whole process, sending us lots of loving photos and even keeping us updated on the weather! He is soo kind and truly loves animals, we have gold fish here too, even thou we were feeding them pebbles with the automatic feeder he noticed the fish and added some bounce flacks when he visited (out of the kindness of his heart). SO NICE! If you are looking for someone to care for your pets, I HIGHLY recommend Cesar he is very knowledgeable and caring, he followed every step I gave him and went beyond that. He even offered to have a free meet and great so the animals could get to know him! SO THOUGHTFUL. unfortunately my tight schedule wouldn’t allow it but, it’s the thought he puts in that counts! Thank you so much Cesar you are a true blessing to us and our animals! Until next time! 💕”
