About: I have over 10 years of pet care. From pets to walks to giving meds, I have loads experience with pets. I love treating them with respect and giving them that extra attention they deserve! I am usually off by 3pm and enjoy evening walks. I think it would be really great to get back into taking walks. I am very excited about this opportunity I like to treat animals with respect. I think it’s very important to create boundaries especially in a home where they do not like pets on their furniture.

I have a strong love for animals, your pets will be in great hands! ~My Schedule~ It has become a daily thing for me. Having to walk my dog and take care of my snake is a weekly duty that has worked it's way in-between my morning yoga and breakfast. ~Creating a Safe Environment~ I walk my dog, clean up after her, share the love when I can, feed her, and bathe her. I clean my snake's cage, feed him, and tend to his needs. He has regular vet visits.

Whether your pet needs a fun walk, playtime, or just some extra care and attention, I will treat them like they’re my own. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’m committed to making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.

“Yumi and Cody (her husband) were fantastic, excellent communicators, and very timely. We have a Shiba Inu who needs two walks a day to pee/poo and an indoor cat. Yumi did drop in visits for both of the pets and they loved her and Cody! They sent us photos of the fur babies and reported what they did each time. They even got our cat a new toy which was so so sweet. We feel at peace leaving the pets with them! Thank you both so so much!”

“Tanya is the best! She truly takes such good care of our Kip. He loves his walks with her and it makes my husband and I feel so blessed on days we work to know he’s in good hands!”

About: Hello, I’m excited to meet your fur babies! I grew up rescuing and fostering dogs and cats. I have experience with taking care of dogs, cats, turtles, fish and small farm animals. I have worked with professional dog trainers to be more aware on how to handle someone’s pet or situation that may occur. At the moment I work a part time with good flexibility. I make my own schedule so I’ll have the necessary time available to make sure your pet gets the attention they deserve. I love being active so you can rest assure that your fur baby will have lots of play time! Whatever he/she may need I will provide. If they are on a strict diet or medical routine I will make sure to keep all routines while you are away. If your pet has any specific commands that they respond to please be sure to let me know so it’s easier on them and myself to keep their routine the same. If your pet requieres more at home cuddles, I’m up for the job! I will make sure their area is always clean and maintained as well.
About: For over 10 years, I have taken care of the dogs of my friends and family. My experiences include senior dogs with mobility concerns and young hyper-active pups. Through strong attention to detail, I have nurtured and supported the well-being of many dogs and other pets alike. My experience taking care of different animals (e.g cats, rabbits, and guinea pigs) has made me a well-rounded pet sitter. Since graduating from my university, I have been job hunting from home. This gives me plenty of time to cater to the needs of your precious doggo. In my home, I have a fenced yard and plenty of space. This assures that dogs can be secured with room to stretch out. I, also, have many home security cameras as an added protection measure. My surrounding neighborhood is safe and very walkable which provides the perfect atmosphere for long walks.
About: I have had my own dogs for the last 15 year. I’ve learned to care for them and nurture them. I’ve even had the privilege of helping my dog bring her puppies to the world. I’ve had dogs of the size of a cockapoo up to German Shepards. If you are looking for someone to treat your furry friend as if they were their own, you’ve come to the right place. I’m a stay at home mom who only has to drop off and pick up my kids from school. I am flexible with the hours. All I ask is that for boarding you book at least one week in advance. I have a fenced backyard with a pool and 2 fury friends to keep your dog company. I can crate your dog if necessary. Your furry friend can even go for a swim if it likes.
About: I helped care for my godparents’ dog, who was with me daily and treated like my own. I was involved in feeding, walks, companionship, and maintaining her routine, forming a strong bond until she passed two years ago. This experience taught me patience, responsibility, and genuine, loving pet care. Pet care fits well into my daily routine, allowing me to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, feeding, and quality time throughout the day. I prioritize pets’ needs and keep their schedules consistent for comfort and stability. I provide a clean, calm, and pet friendly environment and closely follow owner instructions. Dogs are supervised, kept on leash during walks, and given plenty of attention. Safety, communication, and comfort are always my top priorities.
“Mel was an amazing dog walker, super friendly and always on time. She was able to accommodate our schedule changes. Also got along great with our pup Olive. We highly recommend Mel!”

About: I have always grown up with animals, with my oldest dog being 16 years old. My youngest animal is a cat of 3 years old whom I rescued as a newborn kitten when he was abandoned. From a young age I have always had a connection with animals and finding a job where I can fulfill this passion for animal care without owning hundreds of animals myself is why I believe this will be the perfect fit. I am a full time college student, currently studying for my Bachelors degree. Most of my classes are online so your animals will always have my company. I live in a house with a spacious fenced in yard for dogs to freely run around and play in. I have a separate room specially for your pets, keeping them comfortable and separate from my own animals. In this room they can cozy up for a nap or sleep when overnighted.

Anabelia has been wonderful to work with. Her customer service is excellent, she is incredibly patient and kind, and she takes great care of Kiwi. Kiwi has a lot of puppy energy and some anxiety, and Anabelia handles her with confidence and care. She’s also been very accommodating with my last-minute requests, which I truly appreciate. Highly recommend!

Laura is amazing and we truly miss her already. I have three special needs fur babies and she took such good care of them every time whether it was dog walking or house sitting. I trusted her in my home with them and out on walks which my two dogs are very demanding as one is blind and one has ptsd. She always kept them safe. We love and miss you Laura!
