About: I have had pets all my life and have pet sitter and walked dogs for family members since i was young. I have also worked in a veterinary hospital and have had training on how to safely handle pets of all sizes, and how to deal with their temperaments. I have 6 pets of my own so caring for them is a big part of my daily life. I have three dogs (2 of which are puppies!) and three cats who are very playful and are very close to me. I have a large fenced yard for my dogs who like to be very active and we have lots of toys around the house to play with them and the cats all day long. On nicer days we take my dog to the farmers market or dog park to walk around. I would be able to care for your pets on walks if they are harnessed and leashed so they are secure and cannot escape.
“Stephanie is a dog whisperer 😊”
“Sadie was very good with our 2 dogs. She walked them 2 days during wedding festivities. I would definitely have her care for my dogs again!”
“Lydia is very kind, considerate, and prompt! She lets you know what's going on well a head of time if things need to be changed in the schedule. 10/10 Will definitely use again! Oh, and my Trudy likes her too 🤩😂”
“Excellent working with our extremely traumatized dog. She works a lot with her before she could get her to go outside. There was an extreme amount of extra effort on Randy’s part five out of five stars definitely would hire her again.”
About: I am not afraid to care for dogs of any size, any breed, any age. The more the merrier! I’m have been around dogs since I was an infant, and I absolutely love caring for them. I currently have two dogs of my own (a purebred Golden Retriever and a Golden Retriever/Irish setter Poodle mix)! I currently live in a household with FOUR dogs, so no amount of dogs scare me. Currently, I am available. The time during the weekday varies due to my schedule. Eventually I will be free more days during the werk. Any time works for me from 8:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. on the weekends. I am willing to check in multiple times a day, as needed. My dogs are spoiled. I play with them as often as I am able to. I have high energy dogs, so they need lots of playtime and attention. As long as they are allowed, I invite dogs to cuddle me on furniture. Belly rubs are a must, as long as the dog is comfortable! Expect any dog (with the permission of the owner) to be loved on, pet, and cuddled with! I will provide the pet or pets with what they are in need of, as if they are my own.
About: Hi there! I’m Anahi, and I’m an experienced and compassionate pet caregiver 😊 I started when I was 17 years old, caring for my family’s pets. My previous pet was a dog named Nova, she got along well with my kids and other dogs! I’m reliable, trustworthy and have experience with both routine care and special requests! I’m also very understanding and flexible with my prices- please feel free to message me and I’m sure we can figure something that works for the both of us! Trust your furry friend to someone who understands, they’re more than just pets, they’re family !🐶💗 I can offer daily walks, a backyard where we can play all day, treats, toys and more! Im a stay at home mom, with plenty of time on my hands ! I’m looking into doing pet care because of my previous dog. I used to spend all day with her, she was the sweetest and I just feel like keeping myself busy with pets would bring a lot of fun back into mine and my family’s life without having to replace her right away 🥲 In my home, I can provide daily walks, supervised play time outside, toys, cuddles and more! I will ask for feeding and potty schedule, and a crate just in case I need to run out and do an errand. When caring in my clients home, it’s all based on their preferences 😁
“We were hesitant to leave Blue w “just anyone”, but after meeting with Jennifer and seeing how she interacted with her helped us get over the hump. Jennifer was totally awesome and my wife and I were able to enjoy our time away, knowing that Blue was in very capable hands. Will use her services again??, and again?”
About: I love dogs and have been caring for them since I was 12. With me, your pet will have the “Cool Aunt” as their sitter (with a couple dad jokes slid in as well). We’ll be the Paw-fect match! I’m currently working full time, so on top of meeting all of your pet’s needs, we’ll be taking advantage of long walks in good weather or doing fun activities such playing hide in seek or watching a relatable film for movie night (Beethoven is my favorite!) My services of care will depend on your instructions and boundaries for your fur baby along with your home. I take pride in doing what I do best whilst making sure every expectation you have of me is met.
“Thank you Mackenzie! Definitely recommend her as a walker!”
“We liked Christina immediately at the "Meet & Greet" and our dogs also liked her during the pet visits and walks. She was great at sending us pictures and communicating with us about our pets. She was very punctual for the visit times and was able to get our dogs to do most of their business outside - which is no easy feat! We highly recommend Christina to anyone looking for a reliable dog-sitter/walker and look forward to using her services again.”
“Jamie was excellent. We would never hesitate to book her again!”
About: Loves to take care of dogs been dog sitting for years now. Love taking care of dogs because i would treat them like my own pet. I help and dog sit them when I can and it’s one of the best things to do. Pets are the thing I always wanted but never had enough money to get one so I take care of dogs like they are my own and so they can be loved like from their owners and be nice to them so they will like coming back or me taking care of them . All dogs welcomed but I would like them trained so they know not to use the bathroom in the house and know how to listen to others like from their owners I work full time 4 days a week 10 hours a day i would take the dog or dogs out for a walk or outside. making sure they have enough food and water before I leave for work and when I get home from work I would take the dog or dogs on a walk I have a fenced in backyard that is huge for dogs to run around in, could also put them in a cage if that's what you prefer and good walkways for walks
About: I have a dog of my own and understand the responsibility that comes with taking care of your pet. I’ve always had many of pets throughout my life and would love to add your pet to my extended family. I am looking forward to showing your pet the love and attention that all humans and pets need. I live an active lifestyle so I am always out and about taking my dog on a walk. Whether it’s morning, afternoon, or night I will be walking with my pupper and would love for your pet to come along for the ride. I am a frequent attendee at the dog parks and as long as your dog is vaccinated I’m sure they would have a grand time there as well. I can feed, walk, run, and even pick up your dogs poop. I understand the responsibility that comes with pet care as I have a dog of my own who I’ve raised since he was a wee pup. I am able to work with pets of all sizes as many of my friends and family have had me watch their pets while they were away.
“Elena was fantastic with my old girl. I know my dog can be very shy when meeting new people and I heard she warmed right up! She was excited every time Elena came to pick her up for a walk. Thank you for putting my mind at ease and taking such good care of Chloe. ?❤️”
About: I owned a dog for 7 years and have dog sat multiple times! I am well-trained on senior care with dogs as well and pay strong attention to animal care detail. I am available most days of the week after the afternoon! I also have weekends free most of the time and my schedule during the week is quite flexible! I follow schedules and special needs that are given to me or requested. Animal safety is my number one prioritization so I am very aware and cautious as well.
