About: I’ve take care of many dogs for the past 2 years, from small to big, from family and friends who have trusted me with their fur babies. I recently graduated with my Masters degree and I am set to start working full time until Feb 2025. Until then, I am 100% available for any of your furry needs. Safety is of utmost importance. I will work with you and your dog around their behavior, especially if reactive, and we will make the most of our time together.
13. Teresa G.
“Tess is great with dogs of all sizes and behaviors. She shows great care to details and you can tell she really loves every animal she comes in contact with.

She has tons of experience with large and reactive dogs, and understands how to work around behavioral issues.”

18. Khalif E.
About: I have cared for family friend pets for years, dog sitting while friends are away and cat sitting for mothers of the kids I coach. It is always amazing to care for animals and give them a loving presence while their family is gone. Looking forward to meeting you I often work from home, so I have availability to care for your pets. I do same day bookings but appreciate some notice for planning the day. I’m a responsible, conscientious, and very clean house sitter. I don’t smoke or drink. I’m happy to care for plants and bring in mail and packages. I work from home, so I’m usually easy to get a hold of and available to take care urgent needs.

About: Dogs see something within us that we ourselves cannot. While I would be curious to know exactly what that is, I must admit that their cute expressions, deep & knowing eyes, and their Big Little personalities steal my heart every time. Growing up we had a pack of tiny to medium sized dogs and two cats. The tiniest thought he ran the roost, the two middle sized were complete opposites (one sad & mopey, the other a constantly energetic Houdini) and the largest played the Mother role to a tee and was my hiking buddy. Of the cats, one was a lover: always purring and giving kisses, and she LOVED ice cream. The other was his own man and was hardly ever seen except when food was served. Sadly, they have all passed on, and I miss their snuggles, playtimes and walks. Currently, we cannot have pets as our apartment does not allow them, but I am so thankful for the Pup Friends I have made through my clients. I own my own floral design and seasonal decor business, which I started in 2022 after 15 years in the industry. My schedule is currently very flexible. Each and every pet is different. Let me know what they require, and I'll take it from there: What order do they need to be Let-out/Fed/Walked? Playtime: whats their favorite toy/game? How long is their walk? Will they need to be carried for that last half of the walk? You are their parent, you know them best!
20. Brent S.
“Ana and Brent are fantastic pet caregivers! They are incredibly responsible and loving, ensuring pets are well cared for and happy. Highly recommend their services!”
