“I don’t have to worry about a thing with him coming to my home and taking care of my dog. He’s has been very reliable and trustworthy which is very important to me. He’s also great with my elderly deaf dog and leaves detailed reports and pictures daily.”
“Rosemary was wonderful! So communicative and prompt. Always keeping me informed of everything going on. My little guy was a little shy at first so she brought her own dog as a companion and it worked like a charm. She's great!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals of many species my whole life. From dogs, cats, lizards, snakes, fish, frogs, and more, I know how to care for your animal! I currently have 10 pets of my own and work at a pet store as a manager where I’ve done in depth training on animal care and safety. I’m currently working part time and have my schedule wide open for your furry (or not so furry) friends! Feel free to reach out anytime! I would prefer to care for your dogs and cats in your home as I have my own dog and cats at home. However I have much space for any small animals and scaly friends that may need to bunk for a bit 😉 Your four legged family members will be loved and cared for like they’re my own animals with daily updates, pictures, and fun!
“Candi has been wonderful with my dog, Pepper! She’s done several drop-ins for me and always follows the directions I leave for feeding and care to a T, which gives me peace of mind. Today she also took Pepper out for a walk, and everything went smoothly. Pepper ! I really appreciate her reliability, clear communication, and the care she shows. Highly recommend!”
About: I am a dog person. Just lost my best friend in October and thought it would be nice to help others with their babies. I will be honest, I don’t have any special skills, just a lot of love to share with your pet while you’re away. I work Monday through Friday 6:30 AM to 1 PM. My afternoons are open for walking and playing. My weekends are open unless I am away. I have a nice big fenced in yard and don’t go out much during the week. Have a lot of friends with dogs for playdates.
“I highly recommend Guillermo! He is always punctual, extremely reliable, and genuinely caring towards our lovely Mylo. His passion for animals is evident, and it gives us great peace of mind knowing our dog is in such good hands. Each walk is followed by a thoughtful update with pictures, which we greatly appreciate !!!”
“Courtney is great! She was professional, helpful, and communicative. She handled my one year old 55-pound dog well. I would be happy to recommend her and hire her again!”
About: I have helped take care of dogs for the past 6 years, whether it was my own or the many friends/families I have pet sit for! I am currently home from college for the summer, working a few nights a week but with lots of availability during the day and many nights. We have a safe home with a fenced in area. I have experience with all different breeds and ages of dogs so am comfortable with whatever is best for the dog whether it is crating or other safety precautions.
“Gina has been an amazing dog walker! We’ve used her a few times a week for months now. She’s very responsive, consistent, and caring. My golden retriever has been in good hands!”
About: I've been around animals my entire life and have experience with both dogs and cats. I volunteered at the SPCALA animal shelter for several years, helping care for animals of all ages and personalities. I grew up with two cats and have also fostered pets, giving me experience helping animals adjust to new environments. I had a beloved dog who lived into her 20s, and my family recently foster-failed our newest dog. After recently moving to the area, I'm away from my dog and definitely missing having animals around every day. Caring for pets brings me so much joy, and I would love the opportunity to give your pets the same love, attention, and care that I've always given my own. I am currently on summer break from my teaching position and working remotely, which gives me a very flexible schedule throughout the week. Because my work is portable, I can be available for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship during hours when many sitters may be unavailable. My schedule allows me to give pets plenty of attention and care rather than just quick check-ins. As a teacher, I am responsible, patient, detail-oriented, and comfortable following routines, all of which translate well to providing dependable care for your pets. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while maintaining their normal routine as much as possible. I live in a spacious apartment in a safe, pet-friendly neighborhood near a lake, which provides a great environment for walks, exercise, and enrichment. Potty breaks are easy and frequent since I live on the second floor with quick access outside. I make sure pets have plenty of attention, playtime, fresh water, feeding according to their schedule, and lots of affection. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, so I am happy to follow any instructions regarding routines, medications, exercise, training, or special care. When caring for pets in a client's home, I treat both the pets and the home with the same respect and care that I would my own.
“Lori has been so wonderful with our pup! He can be very attached to us at times and she's been so patient with him. Now he is scratching at the door to walk with her when she arrives! We feel so lucky to have Lori as our dog walker and know Maverick is in such good care!”
“Tanya was able to help me on very short notice when my regular walker was injured. My two older dogs loved her and she was very reliable and great at communicating. We’re all very grateful to, and would highly recommend Tanya.”
“I felt so confident that my dog loved Julia that I was able to fully enjoy my vacation. She posted lots of photos and updated often, just all around great communication and a wonderful person ❤️”
About: I have been a huge dog lover ever since I was little! I have two years of experience as a pet caregiver and love it! I am comfortable taking care of dogs any size and age, running with dogs, or just playing with your dog. I will always make sure they are safe and loved! I am working part time, but every week is a little different! Some weekdays days I am available anytime after 1pm, but other times I am available the whole day. I am also very available on weekends! While I do not take dogs in my home, I will always ensure that your home and dog are very well taken care of! I always want pets to be comfortable in their own space, so I will do whatever is needed in order to make that happen.
About: Hi! I’m an animal husbandry trainer for seals and sea lions. However, I grew up with dogs, cats, rabbits, and goats! I can’t wait to meet your furry friend. I can also take care of fish and do water quality and system maintenance. I am available all day and night Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday! I also have availability after 6:00pm Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. I work from Thursday-Saturday at an aquarium (7am-4:30). I will make sure that your pet is treated with proper care and attention. If you have a shy animal, I will be happy to be patient, soft voiced, and gentle. If you have a energetic animal I will gladly match their energy!

I highly recommend Sophia! She's reliable and responsible. Her energy is gentle and positive. My girl, who has horrible separation anxiety, is slow to trust usually, but never looked back when Sophia offered a walk. It is a huge comfort to have someone as trustworthy as Sophia.
