About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember! I’ve been caring for them since childhood and have gained extensive experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I spent two years working at an animal shelter, where I handled everything from socializing shy rescues to assisting with basic training and care for high-energy pups. In addition to my shelter experience, I’ve cared for senior dogs, puppies, and dogs with special needs, including those with mobility issues and anxiety. I also offer boarding, walking, and drop-in visits, ensuring that every pup in my care gets the love, attention, and exercise they need. Whether it’s a cuddle session, a long walk, or playtime, I’m dedicated to making dogs feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. 🚨🚨🚨 PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING 🚨🚨🚨 To see your pup featured, follow me on Instagram: @mani_thedogsitter 🐶📸 Weekday Availability: I work full-time but have the flexibility to check on your pets during my lunch breaks.

While my yard is not fully fenced, I always ensure supervised outdoor time to keep your pup safe. Your dog will also have a built-in playmate—my own friendly pup! Having a companion can help ease anxiety and make their stay more fun and engaging.

Also, for boarding I am available on Fridays and weekends. I have a fenced yard and no kids in my household. That way your pet has all the space and attention I will give him/her. I will treat them as if they are my own and to make sure they are offered the best service, I will accommodate if needed and ask owners all the preferences their pets have.

About: A lifelong animal lover, I have been caring for animals since before I could walk. My family had dogs since before I was born, and I got my very own first pet, a cockatiel named Petey, at the age of 7. I have been pet sitting dogs, cats, birds, fish, and reptiles for over 20 years and have also worked with horses, ponies and petting zoo animals. I have also achieved success in training my own dogs and parrots. Starting in July of 2025, I will be pursuing and Associate Degree in Veterinary Technology to further combine my career with my passion for animals. I am currently between jobs, so my schedule is wide open for spending time with your fur (or feathered or scaled) babies! Whatever your schedule, I will most likely have availability to match! I am most comfortable caring for pets in their own home environments, but I am also open to caring for birds and small animals in my own apartment. I am a firm believer in safety first and establishing a bond and earning trust with animals, and I am comfortable providing supervised out-of-cage time for nearly any animal.

About: I’ve spent the past nine years caring for my poodle, watching her grow from a curious little puppy into my best friend. She is my fur sister. That experience taught me the importance of patience, love, and daily companionship. I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe, happy, and truly cared for while they’re with me. I work part-time, which means I have lots of free time to give your furry friend the love, play, and attention they deserve. I’m available on weekdays from 8 AM to 8 PM. Having cared for my poodle for the past nine years, I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, loved, and part of the family. In my home, pets have a cozy and secure space where they can relax, play, and enjoy daily companionship. I follow their usual feeding, walking, and play routines to keep them comfortable. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and stick closely to their familiar schedule, so they feel just as loved and secure as they do with you.

About: I care for dogs like they're my own. I have 20 years of pet care experience. I am equipped to handle any size dog. I love to take them running , teach new tricks, and overall make them feel like they're at home. Even if your dog is high energy, I will run with them , play games, and keep them entertained for as long as they're under my care. If your dog loves belly rubs, tricks for treats, and needs an enormous amount of attention then look no further. I can provide your dog with the home away from home experience and whether you're at work, or on vacation, your mind can be at ease because your dog will be safe and in good hands.

About: Hey there! My name is Skylar and I would love to watch over your beloved pets to make your life a little easier. My experience with dogs has begun since I was a child— I have always been around dogs and less recently, cats as well. I worked at Highland Road Animal Hospital as Kennel Assistant, and it has refined my experience in feeding, walking, watching over, playing with, and picking up after these wonderful animals. I have also done dog sitting before and really miss the experience! I am eager to dogsit again and have the opportunity to meet and care for more dogs and cats.

“I can't believe how wonderful she is with my dog. She takes really good care of her when I'm at work and she's even help with training her with her walking on the leash. All I have to do is say my dog walkers name and her ears just perked up and she gets so excited.”

“Erika was a wonderful sitter! She was flexible, easy to communicate with, and did a great job with our pup. She sent photos and updates. Our dog is a little timid, but just a few minutes into the visit she was happy and off on a walk. I would definitely recommend Ericka!”

About: Growing up my parents always had at least 3 dogs at a time so I learned at a very early age how to care for them! I now have 3 big dogs of my own who get walked daily all together. I have experience administering medicine whenever necessary and have potty trained multiple puppies. I have gladly cared for multiple senior dogs as well who needed more attention and some who frequently had accidents in the house. I can’t wait to get to know you and your fur babies no matter the age or size!! I am currently very flexible with my availability and can accommodate almost any hours for walking or any days for pet sitting. I’m more than happy to pet sit overnight any time during the week. I am able to stay with your pet in your home for long periods of time so they are not left alone too often. I also love to send plenty of pictures to my clients so they feel at ease that their pet is getting the best care! I can also offer daily walks for your dog if I am staying at your house if that is something you are interested in!
