This is the most welcoming and joyful home. One of the highlights is that my pup gets to play in secret paradise. You’ll understand if you book. I hope to reconnect with them soon. It’s so rare when the space and the family are absolute treasures.

About: I have experience working at doggy day cares, pet resort and hospital and I most recently have worked with a small pet sitting business where I walked dogs, fed and checked in on all types of pets, administered medication, was a pet taxi, wedding dog attendant and even sold “barkcuterie” boards! I work for in special education at an elementary school and just got out for summer break. I have open availability throughout the week and weekends! I am a very respectful, clean and organized person. I take pride in my attention to detail when it comes to being attentive to your pet and strive to leave things as they were or in better condition than I found them!

Pamela is a very sweet lady:) she took our Nova for a day and when we got there she slowly introduced her to the other dogs before letting her run. She is very cautious and handles the dogs very well. I would definitely recommend her services to others.

About: Dogs and cats have always been a huge part of my life growing up. I love all dogs from petite puppers to gentile giants. I am a HUGE dog person but I also have a large spot in my heart for all cats. I have flexible schedule job and I have time to provide proper pet care. I understand commitment to a furry family member that depends on for his or her health and well-being. Pets need routines just as much as humans do for a sense of calm and safety. An act as simple as refilling their food bowl at the same time every day is enough to make them feel comfortable in their living space.

About: From hike, treats, play dates and long runs. Be prepared for your pup to be well stimulated and exercised while you’re away. Fair warning, they may have a better vacation than yours ;) What sets me apart from your normal sitter is not just my love for dogs, but also my experience and special skills. Growing up I had a wonderful dog named Rosco who brought so much joy to my family for his 12 years on this planet. Although he's no longer with us, his goofy spirit lives on in our hearts. I want to spread that love and take care of other beautiful dogs, just like I did with Rosco. I have a knack for training puppies and providing dedicated care for senior dogs. I'll make sure to give your furry friend all the attention, love, and fun they deserve. Can't wait to meet them! 🐶💕 ****Please due note at this time I cannot accommodate dogs with severe separation anxiety that are prone to any excessive howling or barking out of respect for my neighbors******** Well, as a dog sitter, pet care is a top priority for me! Since I work remotely full-time, I have the flexibility to dedicate a lot of one-on-one time to your furry friend. It's not just a job for me; it's a passion. I make sure to incorporate regular walks, playtime, and cuddles into our daily routine. Your dog will receive all the attention and love they deserve while you're away. Can't wait to create a pawsome bond with your adorable pup! 🐶💕 Well, when it comes to caring for pets, I offer both in-home and client's home services. In my home, I create a safe and comfortable environment where pets can feel at ease. I provide regular feeding, exercise, and playtime to keep them happy and healthy. If I'm caring for pets in their own home, I ensure that their routines are maintained, including feeding, walking, and any specific care instructions. I make sure to give them plenty of love and attention, just like they would receive from their own family. Whether it's in my home or theirs, I treat every pet as if they were my own. 🐾❤️

About: Hello! I’m a Zoology student working toward becoming a veterinarian and a Military Conservation Agent veteran. I have hands-on experience with a wide range of animals, including emergency care and working alongside veterinarians, and I’m confident handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments. With my background, I can also provide informed medical guidance when needed. I’m especially a great fit if your dog needs extra care—such as medical support or recovery monitoring. I can administer medications, closely track their condition, and offer cross-border vet services to Mexico, either accompanying you or independently taking your dog for care. My goal is to keep your dog safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times. As a full-time student, I work around my class schedule and maintain a high level of flexibility. My only fixed commitments are my lab sessions, but outside of those times, I can adjust my availability to fit your needs, including early mornings, evenings, and most daytime hours. I have professional experience handling high-drive even dangerous animals, including wolfdogs and wildlife. I know how to manage strong breeds safely and calmly. I respect your home and property. I use professional handling techniques to ensure safety during walks, and I am fully capable of providing basic medical care and behavioral support if any issues arise during my stay."

About: As a full-time retired “dog grandpa,” I’ve spent over 50 years caring for dogs of every shape, size, and personality. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me for decades to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pups just like my own. I currently share my home with a friendly spaniel mix who loves making new friends and helps create a warm, social atmosphere for visiting dogs. I’m patient, attentive, and happiest when I’m surrounded by wagging tails. From energetic youngsters to sweet seniors, I know how to keep each dog comfortable, confident, and cared for. Now that I’m fully retired, caring for pets has become one of the most enjoyable parts of my day. I’m home most of the time, which means your pet gets plenty of attention, frequent potty breaks, and peaceful company throughout the day. I’m available on weekends and most weekdays, and my open schedule allows me to keep your pet’s routine steady morning strolls, afternoon cuddles, or extra playtime, whatever they need. My home is set up with pets in mind. I have a secure fenced backyard with a large pet door so dogs can safely go in and out for fresh air and play. My spaniel mix is friendly and loves having canine company. We take daily walks to nearby parks, perfect for sniffing, exploring, and stretching those legs. Inside the house, pets are welcome to relax wherever they feel comfortable and yes, that includes the furniture. I provide a calm, supervised, and cozy environment, and I’m experienced with crates, medications, special diets, and supporting dogs with different energy levels or routines. Your dog will be treated like a cherished family member with all the gentle attention, structure, and warmth you’d expect from a loving retired grandpa.

She graciously agreed to watch Mini for my entire shift, which gave me such peace of mind. From the moment we arrived, Mini was overjoyed to see her, that alone spoke volumes! Berenice is attentive, kind, and clearly loves what she does. She allowed Mini to safely interact with her son, which was such a sweet and thoughtful touch. I highly recommend Berenice to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. Thank you so much from both Mini and me!
