About: I love dogs and enjoy spending time outdoors — the perfect combo for keeping your pup happy and active! I’ve been caring for dogs for around two years, helping friends and friends of friends with walks, playtime, and overnight stays. I’ve looked after a range of breeds, including energetic border collies and gentle golden retrievers, so I’m comfortable handling active and larger dogs. I’m responsible, reliable, and will treat your dog like they’re my own. I’m available Monday through Friday and some weekends, with a flexible schedule to fit your needs. I can come to you if you’re nearby, or take your pup on fun outings if they’re comfortable with that. To make sure your dog has the best experience, I’d love to know about their temperament and any medical needs or special care instructions. Whether they’re playful, shy, or full of energy — I’ll make sure they’re safe, happy, and comfortable! Pet care fits into my daily routine seamlessly — I love spending time outdoors, so walks, playtime, and exercise feel natural and enjoyable for me and the dogs I care for. I’m flexible with my schedule, making it easy to fit in morning, afternoon, or evening visits. Whether it’s a quick check-in, a long walk, or an overnight stay, I prioritize giving pets the attention, care, and affection they need to feel comfortable and happy while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved — like their routine hasn’t skipped a beat. I follow any feeding, walking, and medication schedules precisely, and I make sure they get plenty of playtime and affection. I keep the home clean, respect their space, and ensure everything is just as the owner left it. If the pet loves being outdoors, I’m happy to take them on walks or play outside to burn off energy. For more relaxed pets, I’ll stick to their comfort zone and spend time keeping them company. Most importantly, I pay attention to their behavior and mood — whether they’re playful, anxious, or need extra care — so I can adapt and make sure they’re happy and safe.

About: I have a 14 year old white cat and I love pets a lot. I have years of experience feeding cats. Since I have a full-time job M-F 10-7, it's hard for me to have "my own dog". So I would like to contribute my free time (6 -9am, 8-10pm weekday and all day weekend) to walk dogs. Before I got married, my roommate and I had a Samoyed at home so I have experience taking care of large dogs. I prefer to have a personal talk about your pet's personality before booking so I would know better about each dog's habits. For dog walk Usually Weekdays from 6-10am, 7-9pm Weekends can do all-day Most US holidays should be available Prefer to talk about the schedule accordingly. I live in a single family house with backyard. Dogs can stay and play there. I have my own cat and have all the stuff to take care a cat.
About: I adopted my Shiba Inu, Freddy, when he was almost 2 years old, and he’s turning 6 in July this year! Some people say Shibas are difficult to take care, but Freddy is absolutely amazing and well-behaved. My wife and I treat him like our son, and we walk him at least twice a day since Day 1. His meals consist of boiled chicken breast/thighs/legs, cabbages, broccoli, carrots, and dog food, etc. Spending time with dogs is one of my greatest joys because they truly are the most loyal friends humans could ever have. Having Freddy in my life has been one of my greatest blessings. From Monday to Friday, I start my workday early in the morning and finish around 2pm. Since my office is only about 10 minutes from home, I have plenty of flexibility and am free from around 3pm until midnight every day. We have a backyard where Freddy can enjoy the fresh air and sunlight, and we even built a small door so he can go in and out freely whenever he wants. Since day one, he’s been covered by pet insurance, and we make sure to bring him in for annual check-ups, including heartworm tests and comprehensive health screenings, to keep him in the best shape possible.

“My dog, Milo, usually takes a while to warm up to new people, but he adored her from day one. She’s reliable, kind, and genuinely cares about the dogs she walks. I loved getting little updates and photos from their walks — it was clear he was having a blast. I felt completely at ease knowing Milo was in such good hands.”
Anna N.
“Anna has been my go to dog sitter for three summers now, and I truly wouldn’t trust anyone else with my two Frenchies, Meatball and Peppa. They’re not the easiest dogs to care for, which makes finding the right person to watch them a real challenge but Anna has always gone above and beyond. I’ve visited her home and seen firsthand how well she cares for her own pets, and how naturally she creates a loving and structured environment. She even fosters animals whenever she can, which just shows how deeply she cares. Every time I return from my trip, I come home to dogs who are not only happy and healthy, but somehow even better behaved and often with a few new tricks under their belt! That peace of mind is priceless. If you’re looking for someone who treats your pets like her own, Anna is it. She’s truly one of a kind.”

Helen understands animals deeply and is incredibly patient, gentle, and attentive to their needs. Over the years, she has also helped many friends take care of their dogs, from energetic puppies to senior dogs with special routines. Whether it's feeding, walking, or just spending quality time, Helen always goes above and beyond. Any pet would be lucky to be in her care!”
Vincent & Hsiao Chi C.
“I am delighted to recommend Vincent as a dog sitter. As a devoted dog owner himself, Vincent treats every dog with the same love, care, and attention he gives to his own Shiba Inu, Freddy. He has a deep understanding of canine behavior, ensures they get plenty of exercise, and prioritizes their well-being. Vincent is responsible, attentive, and truly enjoys spending time with dogs. Whether it’s following specific feeding routines, taking them on regular walks, or simply providing companionship, he goes above and beyond to make sure each dog feels safe and happy. With his flexible schedule and dedication to pet care, I have no doubt that any dog under his watch will be in great hands. If you’re looking for a reliable, caring, and experienced dog sitter, I highly recommend Vincent. He will treat your dog like family!”
