About: A lover of all pets, so no preference or problems when it comes to pet care. I enjoy the presence of all kinds of pets. I've had pets almost my entire life so I've gotten a lot of practice at home. I've also been trusted to care for friends and family pets while theyre on vacation so I've been able to care for pets that aren't my own. Currently unemployed, so I have all the time availale to care for any pets. Why be lonely when I can hangout with pets all day and have it be considered work. I enjoy the company of animals, so we'd be helping eachother. I will ensure the safety of them comes first, making sure doors and gates are secured, leashes are on right, food is the correct one.

About: I’ve always been responsible for helping out with my family’s dogs since I was about 10. Growing up, my family owned 6 loving chihuahuas and 2 mixed breed pit bulls. My chores around the house were to help take them out, feed them, bathe them, etc. I have experience with dogs of all ages, as I’ve helped raise puppies (even newborns!) and my childhood senior dog who lived to be 16 years of age. I am currently working part time and go to a university full time. All of my classes are online, so when I’m not working I have plenty of free time to interact with your pet. I follow a schedule with my personal dogs of letting them out every 2-3 hours. I do use consistent alarms on my phone to do so. I love to interact and play with my dogs with tug of war toys, fetch, or taking them to the dog park for a good run. Sometimes I’ll take my dogs with me on quick errand runs so they get to explore a new environment like the pet store or get the opportunity to eat a small pup cup. My dogs do get crated and/or left out when I’m not home. With your pets, I will follow a similar schedule or adapt to whatever your pet might regularly follow at home!
About: I am an active person, so I love long walks and runs, so I can take puppies or big dogs for long walks or runs I’m am currently working from home part time so I am available to dog sit Tuesday-Friday after 12 pm weekend I am available after 8: pm. I currently own a friendly furry Keeshond. I am also an active runner, so I can run or walk your dog if needed. Or if you need to crate train your dog, I can help with that

About: I have a lot of experience with dogs who need extensive care, and long walks in the park to have a quiet night in the house.

About: I’ve taken care of dozens of pets and completed over 1000 services including Sitting and dog walkings. That includes any dogs and cats with sick ailments and otherwise difficult parameters. I’ve also worked at a pet shop before so if you have a particular concern or need for a pet feel free to ask never hurts. I usually walk a mix of different dogs, depending on the week usually larger breeds that are difficult to handle, but I also work with smaller pets that are shy, including cats. I also deal with a sub category of pets that are on medication or older. I have experience with a number of different pets and medication along with certain ailments so feel free to ask me any questions you may have. When it comes to the settings, I usually go off instructions provided by the pet parent as specific as possible to avoid not meeting their requirements. I also tend to act very courteous as most pet parents have a camera so I’m always acting like I’m being watched on TV. It’s better that way, but if you have any questions, feel free to ask.
About: I have cared for pets for over 5 years, providing love, exercise, and companionship. I am experienced in feeding, walking, bathing dogs and administering medications. Pet care is integrated into my daily routine with scheduled feeding, walks, and playtime. I ensure they receive attention and care consistently, making their well-being a top priority and it's so easy when I work from home.

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I had the joy of having a Pomeranian as my first furry companion, and over the years, I’ve fostered many dogs, each with their own unique personality and charm. Most recently, I cared for my senior dog, who was the sweetest and most loving soul. Losing him was heartbreaking, but it deepened my understanding of the unconditional love and care dogs especially for seniors bring to our lives. As life got busier, I realized how challenging it can be for dog moms and dads to balance work and giving their pups the attention they deserve. That’s why I’ve made it my mission to help! With my dog care services, I aim to provide love, care, and attention to your fur babies while you’re away. Every dog deserves to feel safe, happy, and cherished, and I’m here to make that happen for your four-legged family members. I am currently working part time while studying! Being with your pets not only helps you but me too! I miss my dog very much so I am very happy to help anyone fur babies when they need. I have the time to walk and play with your dog or cat (: At your home I’ll make sure they are comfortable with much pats on the belly! Very well taken care of! Making sure always on leash and picking up after them.

“Reliable and great with dogs!”
Lizbeth R.
“When I went on a weekend vacation with my family, I had to leave my two dogs at home. They both don't really get along, so leaving them alone together would put them at risk of hurting each other. I trusted having Lizbeth, my sister, stay at my house and watch them for us while we were out. She kept me updated daily, every couple of hours if not sooner. When I came home, the dogs were just as left them, and they were able to continue having human interactions even though we weren't there.”

Sylestasia F.
“Sylestasia was AMAZING with my high-energy dog. He is a 2-year old Chesapeake Bay Retriever with the heart of a young puppy. I knew that he needed someone with a lot of patience and a true love for dogs, and Sylestasia fit the bill. She stayed at my home for 5 nights while I went on vacation- my home was even cleaner than I left it when I came back. My dog didn’t even want her to leave! Not only that, but her demeanor and personality was extremely professional and I knew I could trust her with my dog and my home. She took my dog on walks, kept up his schedule of feedings and potty breaks, updated me daily, and even gave him a bath after he decided to be naughty and roll around in the mud. My neighbors even commented on how sweet and personable she is. Snag her if you can, as I have referred her to all of my friends and family! Will 100% be utilizing her services again in the future.”
