About: I worked for a small business a while ago where I would travel to peoples houses in order to take there dogs on a walk. I would also make sure to feed them, play with them, or just keep them company if needed. After that job, I worked as a kennel attendant at a boarding facility. There I managed many peoples dogs and make sure they were properly taken care of. This included play times, bathroom breaks, feeding, and even special treats now and then. I am looking for anyone who needs the help. I am currently job searching and wanted to go back into the dog business and figured this would be a great way to get back into it! Usually I will take my dog on longer walks and give him extra attention and play time at home. My dog is spoiled and happy!

Raquel was super sweet and accommodating to Mike, our diabetic cat. She was willing to take on the responsibility of injecting insulin twice daily to Mike and was punctual each day. Very communicative, quickly responding to any and all messages sent, there was no delay at all! She takes caring for animals seriously and won’t let your pet go without!

About: Growing up in the Philippines with 16 guard dogs shaped my deep love for animals. I truly believe pets are precious and deserve kindness and respect. Hi, I’m Mesh! I have years of experience caring for dogs and genuinely enjoy giving them love, attention, and playtime. We have a fully fenced yard and a friendly, laid-back cat named Mow-Mow. My husband works for the Government remotely, and I’m a stay-at-home mom of three, so your fur baby will receive plenty of time, care, and supervision. I provide regular potty breaks, outdoor play, and always make sure pets stay cool and comfortable, especially on hot days. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy so you can relax while you’re away, I’d love to help. We will love your fur baby like our own! PLEASE NOTE: A meet and greet is required with a physical presence of your dog before any booking is confirmed. Without a meet and greet, I am unable to accept bookings. Feel free to reach out anytime 🐾 My husband works remotely and I am a stay-at-home mom. And I guarantee a 24/7 on hand pet care for your pups. I update my availability every now and then.. And I accept booking on weekends.. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority. In our home, pets stay in a clean, calm, and loving environment with a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play. I supervise all outdoor time and never leave pets unattended outside. Potty breaks are provided every 1–2 hours or as needed, and I carefully monitor each pet’s behavior to ensure they are comfortable and stress-free. Inside the home, pets have a cool, safe space to relax, especially during hot weather. Fresh water is always available, and I follow feeding schedules exactly as instructed. I can also administer basic medications if needed and follow any special care instructions you provide. If caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect your space and follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to keep them comfortable. I provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you can feel at ease while you’re away. Building trust with both pets and owners is very important to me. I treat every pet as if they are my own — with patience, love, and full attention.

Brenda was fantastic! Not only did she take great care of our cat, make sure litter box was clean and she was well fed, but sent pics and even helped bring in packages and a huge dresser that was delivered when we were gone. Highly recommend Brenda!

About: I’ve grown up caring for dogs of all ages, from tiny puppies learning the ropes to seniors who need a slow, gentle pace. I’m patient, reliable, and always focused on safety and comfort. I love long walks, fun playtime, and of course plenty of snuggles and praise! My schedule is very flexible, so I can easily adjust to your pet’s feeding, walking, and play routines. I love incorporating spending time with pets, outside of my own at home, into my day with regular attention and care. I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible — feeding, walks, playtime, litter/yard clean-up, and any medication needed. I make sure they get attention, enrichment, and plenty of love. I also send updates and photos every visit so you always know how they’re doing.

About: I had an amazing dog who lived a long life. I had an amazing cat who also lived a long life. I wasn’t ready to lose either of them, so now I have plenty of love to give to your fur babies! I am a school teacher, so I can easily adapt to different schedules. For dog owners, 3 walks a day is easily achievable. Not to mention, my summers are free! We treat our pets like our family, so I know any pet will fit in with us easily! I treat pets as if they were my own. I only see pets as part of the family, so they will be treated as such! I will make sure to adapt to my new temporary life with your fur baby!

About: As a former doggy daycare worker and someone who has taken care of two cats all of my life and two golden retrievers for the last 3 years, I’m the perfect fit to become your pet’s new bestie! With experience in giving medication to animals, and plenty of play time and walking experience, I’m fully equipped to handle any new task that comes my way. I recently moved to the area from Texas, and can’t wait to meet your dog (or cat!) As of right now, I just moved to the area to help my sister take care of my newborn niece and her two golden retrievers! My schedule is very open at the moment, and I’d love to make taking care of your pets part of my routine! I will treat your home and pet supplies with the utmost respect. As someone who drops by, whether it be to give them some playtime, cuddles, or just food or a walk, I promise to value your space like it’s my own.

About: Welcome to my page, where I am striving to create more empowered pet owners! I am a professional dog trainer who has experience training in many different styles. I continue to pursue my degree, multiple different K9 nutrition certifications, and go to seminars to continue to build my knowledge base on different types of training. In boarding, I focus on mental enrichment and thrive to create more educated and confident pet owners. I’m always open to questions and would love to talk more about any of my services! Pet care; from training to walking to boarding is my entire routine. Aside from my gym time, this is what I will spend my entire day doing. Dogs are my passion so it’s never a chore to give all I have to these furry friends. Pet care is my whole business. I am building a business that is well rounded and based on customer trust. Dogs in my care are put in a safe clean environment. They are never unsupervised while out and well cared for. I focus on mental enrichment as well as physical activity to keep dogs well rounded and fulfilled while in my care! I believe that communication is key and frequently send updates to make sure you’re up to date!

About: I have 5+ years in dog care experience, with about 8+ years of dog ownership experience beforehand. I love to take care of all furry companions but canines have my heart! Book your pet care needs with me for a peace of mind, feeling confident and happy knowing your furry friend will feel safe and loved. I strive to build long lasting connection with any animal I encounter through mutual respect, trust building exercises, and superior attention to detail when it comes to their care instructions and needs. I love to go above and beyond to keep my clients smiling and their dog’s tail wagging! Don’t hesitate to reach out, I’m eagerly awaiting to service you! ☺️ I have experience with elderly dogs and caring for our more reactive fur friends. I do require pre-appointment meetings to see if your companion and I will make a good fit, doggy comfort is my highest priority during stays. Through observing their behavior and how they respond to me initially, I can ensure that they will be joyful while you are away. I seek to blend seamlessly into their care regimen, so to them, the only thing different will be who is providing for them. Lots of walks, cuddles, and treats when necessary! I am a full time dog care taker and am able to adjust to various schedules upon request of my client and their service needs. I seek to develop a thorough understanding of each client and their companion’s needs in order to assess proper care regimen for the stay. Canine comfort is the one of the most important aspects during care, so I seamlessly blend in with already established flows and schedules.

Mahiya is a superstar dog sitter, there are not enough stars to rate her. Our dogs are a part of her family as they are of ours. She creates an environment that meet the dogs needs and more. She’s always accommodating and very flexible. Her home is a second home for our dogs, it is not a sitter’s home.
