About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was around 10 years old, starting with my first family dog. Currently, I help take care of our two dogs at home alongside my mom. In addition to my own pets, I also look after a few family friends’ dogs, giving me a variety of hands-on experience with different breeds and personalities, but especially pitbulls! As a teacher, my schedule allows me to be available for pet care after 3 PM on weekdays and throughout the weekend, as well as most days in the summer! I regularly care for my own two family dogs and help out with my family friends’ pets, so dog walking and sitting naturally fit into my daily and weekly routine. I’m used to balancing responsibilities and enjoy spending my free time with animals. Whether in my home or a client’s, I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I stick to their usual routines as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care they need. At a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and make sure everything is clean and secure. At my home, my pets get plenty of attention, outdoor time, and a calm environment to relax in. I treat every pet like they’re my own!

“Madi was great! She was very communicative the whole time we were gone letting us know how the animals were and sending picture updates. Would definitely book her again and highly recommend!”

About: I have given care for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I am comfortable with all personality types, and sizes. I also have experience with cats, as an owner and sitter. Although I am a full time student and full time worker, I always make time for the pets in my life. I work full time but remotely, so I am able to take on pet care from anywhere. I have weekends and holidays off, which allows for more play time! I have my own dog who is hooked up and supervised when outside. I also have a pet first aid book and carry supplies on me.

“Mary did such a great job watching our 2 pups for 5 days! The dogs are brothers and can be energetic but she handled them really well, followed the instructions we left, sent great pics and video. We couldn’t be more grateful and will DEFINITELY use her again!”

About: As a child I was not allowed to have animals . My sisters were highly allergic to both cat’s and dogs. The minute I moved out on my own I got a cat and years later after I got married we got our first family dog, a beautiful pug. We had him for 17 years! I now have 3 cats and 2 dogs! I have a or of availability to love and care for your pets. Im looking forward to meeting new people and animals alike! Message me and we set up a meet and greet!! My pets have a better life than most human beings! They always have plenty of food to eat and toys to play with. Our dogs have a huge back yard they play in. I've always had a special place in my heart for animals. I am parient and loving and cant wait to meet your pets!!

“Alyssa was the best! She was flexible with our schedule, gave our velcro doggie lots of love, and left our house in better shape than when we left it! She kept us updated with lots of pictures as well, to keep our mind at ease when we were on our little vacation. Highly recommend Alyssa!”

“Absolutely fantastic! I have a senior German shepherd with mobility issues and medications galore and a husky mix. She was able to take care of both of them and sent pics/updates through my time away. I’m always nervous about leaving my dogs so I really appreciated her sending those pics. Great sitter!!”

About: I have been an animal lover my entire life. I have had a variety of all animals such as dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, bearded dragons, etc for as long as I can remember. I’ve had exposure to animals of all age ranges. In the past, I have had senior dogs who have had seizure disorders and provided comfort care for them until the end including medications, pain management and helping them through challenging moments from their medical conditions. My focus and goal being apart of your pets care is to provide them a safe, comfortable, friendly environment while under my care and also just having fun! I have had dogs that I have worked with on behavioral modification training, leash training, potty training, etc. Although I am not a certified trainer, I have had exposure to reward and positive reinforcement training and have worked on this closely with a trainer and my own animals and have seen the benefits. I am looking forward to being a positive impact on your sanity and your pets care! I currently am out of work and expecting a little one! With all of my free time, I’d love to put it towards doing something I love and enjoy, spending it with animals! In my clients home, I would ensure that all pets needs are met with food, water, stimulation with play, etc. For safety I would leash the pet before opening the door for a walk and ensuring the pet is tamed and not too excitable walking out the door to avoid any accidents. I would utilize any tools the owner provided such as crates, gates, etc while caring for the pet. For care in my home, I have a fenced in yard and 4 dogs, 2 cats. I would slowly introduce them to each other and have gates available along with 3 different floors in my home to separate if need be. I have crates available if needed to give space. I am always home and would never need to leave your pet alone! I have plenty of toys and treats ready to go!

About: I am a person dedicated to animal welfare and I specialize in the care of adult dogs, although I also have experience with puppies. My priority is that each dog feels safe, calm and happy, like at home. I offer a complete and personalized care that includes: Daily walks with attention to your pace and needs Food according to their schedules and special diets Medication administration (if needed) Baths and basic hygiene care Much love, patience and company Your dog will be in good hands, with someone who really loves what he does. Pet care is the heart of my daily routine. From early in the morning until the end of the day, I organize my time according to the needs of each dog under my care. Each walk, meal, game or moment of rest is part of a routine designed with love and responsibility. I make sure to maintain consistent schedules, adapt activities according to the dog's age and energy, and always be attentive to its physical and emotional well-being. More than a task, taking care of dogs is an essential part of my day to day and something I deeply enjoy. 1. Professional organization of space I have a clean, safe and adapted area according to the size and personality of each pet. I use beds, toys, and differentiated areas for rest, play and food. 2. Structured but flexible routine I plan the day with fixed schedules for walks, meals, baths, and rest time. I adapt to the specific needs of each pet (medication, diet, energy level). 3. Communication with the owners I maintain constant contact with the owners through messages, photos or videos. I inform you about how your pet is, if he eats well, if he plays, or if I notice something unusual. 4. Hygiene and well-being guaranteed I clean the spaces and utensils daily. If required, I give baths or perform basic hygiene care. 5. Security and responsibility I never leave pets alone or in a cage I know basic first aid for animals 6. Love, attention and respect I treat each pet as if it were mine. I strive to make them feel comfortable, calm and loved, like in their own home.

About: I've had pets since I was 10, from medium-sized mutts to lil' mini-poodles to German Shepherd puppies to feral cat angels. Similarly to many dogs, I am over-enthusiastic and eager, I enjoy long walks and chaotic good. I have lots of energy and will absolutely treat your pet like an anthropomorphic deity. It's your job to keep them humble. I live in Queen Village near many parks and lovely, walkable areas. I like to run (if that’s your dog’s thing) and equally so, I like to couch potato it (if that’s your dog’s thing). I work from home at present, so I’m very flexible in my availability and the amount of time I’m able to spend with your pet throughout the day. I keep my place tediously tidy so there are no worries about your pet getting into anything toxic. All of my houseplants are out of pets' reach, I primarily use organic cleaning products. I feel safe unleashing a small infant here. At your place, I'll just be hyper vigilant and respectful of your space.

“Jessika was great! She communicated a lot, sent pictures, looked after my home and treated my family just like they were her own! She was also attentive and super helpful, asking if there was anything she could help with around the house awhile I was away. If I could give her 10 stars I would ☺️”

About: I love animals, I have 2 dogs and a cat of my own! I've spent my whole life around animals, never living without a furry companion by my side! I'm currently a stay at home mom, so 60% of my day goes to pet care as I am constantly around my pets! Taking the dogs outside, playing and cleaning up messes ! Your pet will always feel safe with me, I will follow any and all instructions to ensure a comfortable environment for your pet. If they have any favorite treats, nicknames, or favorite petting spots I'd love to know!

“Sam was amazing! From the moment we met her we felt very comfortable leaving our pups in her care. The boys loved her too! She has helped us out a few times now and each time the boys see her you can tell how excited they are that she came back for another visit. Her experience with dogs is obvious in the way she interacts with them. She is also very affectionate and attentive to the boys. Happy we found her on Rover!”
