About: Hi! I have such a strong love for animals and helping them in any way, as a person should. I worked at a doggy daycare for a little over 3 years because of how much I enjoyed my job! I’ve always grown up with dogs and have volunteered in the past since I was about 14, I do dog sit and cat sit.

About: I’ve always grown up with animals in our home, especially dogs and cats. Grew up with two cats until the age of 6, my dog since I was 6 until now, and my two other cats we fostered for some time. Always have loved animals and had a caring connection with them. In addition to taking care of our family pets, I have also helped care for family and friends furry friends. Have dog sitted before for family and friends, walked dogs for neighbors, and volunteered at the animal shelter many times! I also interned at a local pet grooming salon for several months, helping to take care of animals. While I work full-time, my hours are earlier in the day, making it perfect for evening walks, stop-ins, or overnight care for your animals! On weekends, I am free all day! In my own home, I have a fenced in, spacious yard. As mentioned before, I have a dog of my own who is very friendly and is updated on all his shots and healthy! We have many different toys, treats, and extra space including individual extra crates for your animals if needed. Furthermore, I have reliable transportation of my own so I can travel to others home. I have pet sitted at family friends homes many times with their dogs and cats.

About: I have experience caring for pets of all ages, from energetic young puppies who need plenty of attention to senior dogs who require patience and gentle care. I understand that cats have unique personalities, and I always take the time to earn their trust, whether they’re playful or more independent. My approach is always attentive and empathetic, ensuring each pet feels safe, loved, and cared for based on their individual needs. Whether it’s extra playtime, slow walks, or simply providing comfort, I’m dedicated to giving your pets the best care possible while you’re away. I am flexible with proper given notice a few days ahead of time. I am able to tend to your animal early in the morning or later in the night, all depending on the needs of your animal during that time. We can discuss further what the needs and timeline for you and your pet entail and work out the best solution. I provide loving, attentive care by following routines, ensuring safety, and offering companionship. Whether in my home or yours, I treat every pet like family.

“Rebecca was fantastic! She housesat for 11 days and took great care of our anxious Australian Shepherd, Bailey. This was our first time leaving Bailey with someone outside of family, but she warmed up to Rebecca right away. Rebecca checked on her regularly, provided daily (picture) updates, and left our home spotless. We’re so grateful for her help and will definitely reach out to her again in the future!”

I love when there is written instructions of how you would want me to take of your fur babies

About: I’ve had pets for as long as I can remember! While I attended college I assisted a couple in caring for their two large dogs, two macaws, and three cats. Now that I’m home from college, I want to continue helping people with their pets! I am currently interviewing for a full-time job, so to avoid any complications, I am looking to just schedule walks on weekends and evenings! Please reach out if that fits with your schedule! I’m very happy to care for your pets in your home, and I have done so before with my family member’s pets. Your pets being in a space that they are comfortable and familiar with while still getting the care they need is extremely important!

“Dawn was with my 4 dogs for 6 days. She always cares for them like her own. She even worked with me through a delayed flight which is really scary for a pet owner. She goes above and beyond. I finally found someone I can trust and would never use anyone else!!”

About: I am now taking walking and sitting appointments for my area of Gibraltar, Gross Ile, or Woodhaven beginning May 1st. For boarding, my house sits on almost an acre of land on a quiet street on Horse Island. It is a dog's paradise. My backyard is fenced-in, but the dogs are never left alone. With years of experience caring for animals, I understand the nuances of pet needs and behaviors. I have even helped clients with behavior problems such as barking and jumping. Whether engaging in playful activities, enjoying peaceful walks, or simply providing a comforting presence, I ensure each pet feels at home. Let your furry friend enjoy a vacation as relaxing as yours! I am retired, a full-time homemaker, and a gardener. During your workday or vacation, I can walk your dog at your home or leave your loved one with me. I live on a nice, quiet street on the water in Gibraltar. I am fit for walking or running with your dog near your home or mine.

10. Cheyenne B.
“Cheyenne is a very caring young woman that truly has empathy for all. This shows in the way she cares for animals. Whether it is her own animals, or family & friends animals, they are the first thing she notices and gives attention towards. In the care she provides for animals, she is loving, attentive, and very through. She always asks what she can do, not just meeting expectations, but going above and beyond. This shows in the job well done she does, the relationship she establishes with animals, and even for the pet owners, leaving the house clean, or going even further than expectations, leaving flowers and baked goods for owners. Definitely would recommend.”


11. Marina A.
“Marina is a wonderful pet sitter who takes excellent care of our old dog and our kitty cats . I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Marina . She is Amazing ! And has helped us out many times before .We definitely will be having her help us again with beloved four legged family members . It’s great to feel free to travel and know that your pets and your home are well cared for. During our time away Marina sent us photos of our cats having fun which was really nice to see how happy everyone was together. Marina is very warm and friendly and was great to know she was willing to work around our schedule on short notice. We couldn’t have been happier with her. The Walker's”

19. Sandra Z.
“After moving to the area I began looking for a place for overnight or weekend care for my best friend. I was appalled to find the facilities that promised "first class boarding and care" for my puppy (officially dog but she will always be my puppy), were actually large rooms with a lot of chain link cages! I was so happy to find Sandra. My puppy now has a beautiful and loving home environment that is every bit the equal of my home. When I come to pick her (Princess) up she is, of course, glad to see me but I have this nagging suspicion that she would like to hang around with Sandra a little more. Maybe it's because Sandra has a better yard than Princess has at her real home!”
