“Julissa was awesome. I need a last minute emergency dog walker since I broke my foot. Julissa showed up on time for each walk. She brought treats, toys, and bags. My dog Sarah really enjoyed her walks with Julissa. I will definitely be using Julissa again in the future. I highly recommend Julissa.”

“Dulce came through for us on short notice, walking and feeding our two mini poodles with care and attention. Our pups were excited to see her again, as she previously took great care of them during our family vacation in March. We highly recommend Dulce for both daily walks and overnight stays. She's reliable, kind, and clearly loves what she does.”

About: I have experience caring for dogs of all ages and needs, including puppies, senior dogs, and multiple dogs at once. I’m patient, attentive, and understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. I’m committed to providing reliable, loving care while making sure each dog gets the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. Whether it’s keeping up with an energetic puppy or providing gentle care for a senior dog, I treat every pet as if they were my own. Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine because I currently have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability. I do volunteer work three times a week, but it’s only about 15 minutes from home, so I’m still able to accommodate pet care before or after volunteering. My flexible schedule allows me to be available for walks and drop-ins throughout the week at all hours For now, I provide walks and drop-in visits in my clients’ homes. I make sure each pet is comfortable, cared for, and follows their usual routine as closely as possible. During drop-ins, I can provide feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention based on each pet’s individual needs. For walks, I focus on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and properly exercised.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I love spending time with animals. I graduated Ramapo College of New Jersey and I enjoy the wildlife there. I take my own dog on many hikes with me. It is my passion to look after pets and I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! I am very flexible so I can always move around the days. I started going to LA fitness on my free time and enjoy spending my free time around animals. I am transparent with my clients. I make sure every client knows what my schedule is like, and the exact services and times I provide for your pets. I also can provide updated on pets when needed.
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a little girl. I’m very reliable and my main goal is to make these fur babies comfortable while in my care! Since 8 years old I’ve had a love for animals when I got my first puppy for Christmas, and since then I’ve gained my trust around my peers, coworkers, family that I’m the best dog sitter/ walker there is. I work part time at an office so my schedule tends to be open. The office I am employed at is actually 5 minutes away from my house, so even when I’m at work I tend to come home for lunch breaks or any reason I need to go home. I have a fenced back yard with enough space for your pet to run around and get some exercise. Or if they just like being outside I also have a deck and we can just chill for a little until they want to come in!
About: I have taken care of animals my entire life. My family and friends count on me when they're in need of help with their fur babies. I can care for dogs of any breed, i love them all! Cats as well! Im currently not working at the moment, so I am home majority of the time and I will be present almost 100% of their stay! I have an unfenced yard and no pets at the moment. Your fur baby will have 100% of my attention for whatever they need during their care.
About: I’ve cared for animals for as long as I can remember, but professionally, I’ve spent years working in veterinary medicine. I currently work as a veterinary nurse in the oncology department of a large specialty hospital, and I have experience in multiple veterinary clinics and hospitals. I’m comfortable caring for dogs, cats, and exotic pets of all ages, breeds, personalities, and medical needs. I’m especially comfortable with senior pets and pets with chronic or complex medical conditions. I can administer oral and topical medications, injections, and subcutaneous fluids, and my veterinary background means I’m comfortable recognizing when something isn’t right and responding appropriately in an emergency. I’m also Fear Free Certified and take low-stress handling seriously. I’m happy to work with pets who are nervous, shy, spicy, or simply need a little more patience than the average sitter may be comfortable providing. For pets who need a little maintenance while you’re away, I can also provide nail trims, sanitary trims, and anal gland expressions when appropriate and requested. At home, I have my goofy rescue Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Fae, and two cats: Baby, my beautiful but spicy failed foster, and Boo, my precious social recluse. Between them and my years in veterinary medicine, I’m very accustomed to animals having wildly different ideas about what constitutes a good time. For house sitting, my goal is to keep your pet’s life as normal as possible while you’re gone. I’m happy to follow their usual feeding, walking, medication, play, and bedtime routines rather than expecting them to adjust to mine. For walks and drop-ins, I’m equally happy with a leisurely sniff-every-blade-of-grass walk, an energetic outing, or simply keeping an older pet company and taking care of their needs. I am in clinical rotations for my graduate program from Monday-Thursday 8:30am-4:30pm and work the odd Friday per diem at my veterinary hospital. If you don’t see a date you need, just message me! At your home I will adhere to what is normal for your pet and I can follow any rules and instructions you may have, including medications, feeding schedules, walks, play time and exercise, or just “hanging out” to make your pet feel less lonely while you’re away.

About: Ive always loved dogs since I was younger and have taken care of my own dog for 6 years now. Before I had a dog I would gravitate toward my friends dogs and want to walk them or play with them. I have more experience than my profile shows since I sometimes take jobs off the app. I’ve had a couple repeats and been dog walking about 3 years now. Pretty free this summer I have a part time job and school but it shouldn’t be an issue when you send a request we can discuss my schedule for taking care of your dog further if anything changes I constantly make sure I know where my dog is within my home which is usually near me and she has a big fenced backyard. In the backyard she loves to run around so I have to keep an eye out for any trouble.
