About: I have had pets, mostly dogs since I was a child, and added cats to the mix in recent years. I am a natural nurturer/caregiver and truly enjoy the entire experience. I am a reliable adult with time to spend caring for your pet! I am currently retired which makes my availability flexible and built around your needs. I am available weekdays and weekends during the daytime and evenings. I can provide care in your home for drop in visits and/or walks, feeding or other needed care. I enjoy building caring relationships with pets of all types.
“Remy was great! Very reliable, professional and took great care of my dog! She even brought my packages inside and made sure my dog had enough fresh water before leaving. Highly recommend.”

About: I have taken care of family and friend's pets for years. Plus having my own. I am retired so most of the time I am available to come and love on your fur-babies. I am very active so if your pup needs plenty of walks, I'm the person for the job. I am retired so I have most weekdays and weekends available to care for your fur-babies with pop-in visits. Unless I am out of town. I would love to do pop-in visits and walks. Unfortunately, at my home my fur-baby only loves people. She gets very jealous, and I would never want to put anyone's pups at risk.
“Poliana was a life saver! I had a last minute cancellation and she was able to fill in in a pinch. She took great care of our dog and had wonderful communication. The pictures and detailed update were much appreciated.”

About: I have over fifteen years’ experience in the Veterinary and Animal Behavioral world. I love Pet sitting because it allows me to mix my expertise and passionate care for pets into a loving, and fun experience for pets while their owners are away! I will gladly provide your pet with companionship, friendship, exercise, and mental stimulation while I care for them. I have experience with all breed types and temperaments. I will also care for reptiles and other exotic pets. What I think differentiates me from other pet sitters is my dependability, flexibility, punctuality, and the bond built with the pets that I care for. Sometimes it is the little things that separate the best from the rest. I look forward to hearing from you and caring for yours as my own <3 I also offer bath, nail trim and ear cleaning services during my visit at extra rates if interested.:) I am currently only focusing on my Pet sitting business so I am available for your pet 24 hours during the stay and can be very flexible to meet your unique needs. I offer bath, nail trim and ear cleaning during my stay for extra fee. I keep the routine during my stay as close as possible to minimize their disruption while you are away with lots of love and attention and frequent video or photo check ins.
“Sarah has been a such a blessing! After multiple cancellations from other dog walkers we were left scrambling looking for a last minute walker for our two big dogs before we went on vacation. Sarah stepped up to the plate and exceeded our expectations. Not only is she super friendly, and a dog lover but she was very thorough, and timely! She left comments and photos everyday, and also spoiled our pups with handmade organic dog treats! We will hire her and recommend her over and over again! Thank you Sarah!”

About: I worked at a dog boarding and daycare facility for 3 years, where I completed multiple courses on canine behavior and handling. I hold a degree in Animal Behavior and have been dog sitting for friends and family for several years. Currently, I work part-time as a Zoological Specialist, and previously gained years of experience caring for and training exotic animals. I have a strong foundation in animal training techniques, and my background gives me a deep understanding of behavior, safety, and enrichment — insight I bring to every pet I care for! My own dog, Moxie, was my best friend & lived a long, happy life of 15 1/2 years. She taught me how deeply we love our pets & how much they mean to us. That’s why I treat every animal I care for as if they’re my own! I currently work 40 hours as a Zoological Specialist, with a rotating schedule. My weekend falls on Tuesday and Wednesday, when I’m most available. Since my shifts vary, I often have availability during weekday mornings or evenings, depending on the week. Safety has always been a top priority in my work. While at the dog daycare, I was responsible for closely observing canine behavior to ensure safe and positive interactions within playgroups.
About: I’ve taken care of pets most of my life, with a household that always contained dogs and cats I have experience with pets of all life stages and needs, I am also a certified dog groomer from my time at Petsmart. I look forward to meeting you and your pups! I currently have an open availability for any time and any day you need! I can’t wait to work with you and your pets soon! With my time at Petsmart as a certified pet groomer I have been trained in all Safety measures and care needs for dogs and cats of all sizes and life ranges.
“Trustworthy. Reliable. Thank you so much for coming into my home and taking my dogs out for a much needed walk. I received pictures of my doggies and it made me feel so much more at ease.”

“Julie thank you so much for walking our girls they seemed to love it! Thank you for the new pictures! I am so happy Venus and Luna was happy and respectful to you!”

About: We've both had dogs our whole lives. We absolutely love animals and have plenty of experience with special needs since our dachshund was blind and deaf and our catahoula was partially paralyzed. We can administer meds if needed and at least one of us will always be home for potty breaks and supervision. We also frequent the area's dog parks if your pup enjoys long walks or off-leash dog parks. We currently have one dog. A 12lb chiweenie (Chihuahua dachshund mix) who loves other dogs. Thanks for reading this and we hope to meet you and your four legged friend soon! We recently moved into an apartment so we are only currently able to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and possibly weekend house sitting on a case by case basis. We are very reliable and are happy to provide photos of any visits/walks. Since we are not currently offering boarding we won't concentrate on our home environment, however we are both very clean and organized people and we are happy to host a meet and greet. We consider everything when caring for a pet from proactively avoiding potential conflict with other animals all the way down to the temperature of the sidewalk during a walk...no one wants crispy toe beans!
“My dog immediately loved Claire when she entered our home to take her for a walk! Claire was also very easy to talk to and provide instructions for, and I have more peace of mind now that I've found someone reliable to walk my pup if I have to be out of the house during the day. Highly recommend booking Claire for doggo needs!”

About: My family always had pets. I took care of them since childhood - cats, Pomeranian, German Shepherd, Golden Retriever. Also I always help my friends and neighbors with their pets, cats and dogs when they went on vacation. I have experience in dog training. My German Shepherd and I passed a general training course for 98 points out of 100. I adhere to the principle of positive reinforcement. My work schedule is pretty flexible, so I can help you with your pets most of the time. I can walk and sitting with your pets all weekdays. I have a nice small backyard for small walk and the Orange Trail nearby for nice long walks. I have two kids (five and eight y.o.). They have always grown up surrounded by pets and know how to behave with them. So if your pet is kids-friendly 😊, then everything will be great 🤗
About: I’ve taken care of our family dog for the past 8 years. I’ve had her since she was a 2mo old puppy. My newest furry baby most recent is a Brittany Spaniel who is now 3 years old. I love spending time walking, feeding and playing with them. I also dog sit for my sister and her roommate when they are away flying for the airlines. I’m employed full time and work evenings but I have plenty of time in the mornings to spend with furry friends. I’m available all weekdays from 9am-2pm. I also might be able to accommodate weekends from 10am-2pm. I have a furry baby of my own to play with yours. We also have a dog park in my neighborhood so there’s no shortage of running/play space. I have no problem keeping your dog entertained and loved no matter the location.
