About: I follow instructions that are left for the pet, I interact with the pet alot and treat it as my own. I make sure it is given unconditional love and care that all animals deserve!! Part time in the afternoons or on the weekends with advanced notice. During the week after 5pm and on the weekends between 10am-9pm, unless it’s overnight then the hours are more flexible. I am in an enclosed apartment, that is spacious and has a patio for the pet to chill with fresh air. I also have a lot of areas to play around the complex that is friendly to four legged creatures, I live near numerous outdoor amenities including parks and beaches for the pet to explore. The entire neighborhood is very welcoming to pets and it could easily make a play date.

About: While I was growing up, my family always had cats and dogs. I have a lot of experience taking care of animals. I have 7 pets. I have 2 rabbits, 2 Guinea pigs, a crested gecko, a cat and a dog. I have been volunteering at a rabbit rescue for 3 years. I have experience giving medication to dogs, rabbits and guinea pigs. I am comfortable around dogs of all energy levels. I work full time from home, 8-5 Monday to Friday. I will be available most weekday nights and weekends. Days and times can be flexible. If I am caring for a pet in someone’s home, I will be very respectful of their home and exactly follow their instructions as far as taking care of their fur baby.

About: My wife and I have been loving and caring owners to our 4+ year old special needs Berner, Sherlock for 4 years, and I previously had a beagle, Kylie. I work from home and am able to provide the proper care and attention. Please let us know if your dog has any special requirements, we will require a meet and greet to ensure our dogs will work well together. I work from home and able to take the dogs out throughout the day. We typically will walk our dog at least 1-2x per day, and for longer walks as the weather gets cooler. My wife is also home at least a few days each week, and we’re both around on weekends to care for your dog like our own. We have a large fenced in backyard and will follow any instructions or recommendations you have. If your dog needs to be crated or has any specific requirements, just let us know.

About: I have experience with puppies all the way up to senior dogs and I love every stage. I also have experience with small dogs up to extra large dogs. I currently have a small dog and an extra large dog at home so no challenge is to big for me. Friends and coworkers often ask me to watch their animals because I am trustworthy and they know their pet will be safe and loved. I have a full time job, but can go home on lunch breaks if the distance of your home is not too far. Weekends are usually open for me to spend all day with your pets if needed. I would follow your routine when caring for your pets at your home. Animals feel safe when they are in their environment and living their routine so I would stick to your regular schedule as much as I can. I like to make sure I give them extra cuddle time so they don't miss you too much.

“Brandi took care of my three pups for the day recently. She was very thorough and conscientious. My oldest dog had just had surgery so there was extra concern there about trying to keep them from playing too rough. It also involves keeping them I. Separate sleeping areas so that the other two wouldn’t lick his sutures. She handled all of this extra work very well.”

About: Having grown up with dogs (have had 10 dogs over the course of my life), I've always held a special place in my heart for dogs. Walking (avid nature lover and runner) and caring for dogs has been a part of my life since I was 5 years old. I've cared for all different types of breeds/mixes from puppyhood as well into their senior years/supporting them through declining health and death. This past year, after losing my dog to old age, I have volunteered walking dogs, and also being a Reiki Master Practitioner, have practiced pet reiki. I can also provide this to your pet as requested! I currently, for the first time in my life, own a rabbit. Having been with us for almost 3 years now, it's been a wonderful surprise experiencing learning, caring for, and practicing reiki on a bunny as well. Right now, the special dog in my life is my mom's 1 year old Chihuahua, Rudy. Whom I happily visit and walk in my free time. I look forward to walking and caring for your dog(s)! The schedule I set up for dog walking compliments both my current work schedule as a yoga instructor and reiki practitioner, as well as family time (mom of 7 year old). I care for others' pets and homes as if they were my own. I am particularly dependable, attentive, and detail-oriented and take pride in my services. I am passionate about providing my clients with the exercise and care their pet needs to feel at ease and increase their quality of life.

“That's the second time I need her and she's fantastic. Although I terribly miss my cats, I know they are in good hands and it's amazing how quickly they clearly trust her. Thanks again, Casey!”


About: I have owned and had experience with dogs since I was 5 years old. Over the years I have learned how to bath them, feed them and play with them. Not only am I able to care for dogs but I also love them and being around them is the highlight of my day! I will be home from college during the months of January-December and May-August. While this timeline is pretty short, I only work part time while I am home so I will have plenty of time to take care of your dogs! I currently live with my parents so I am unable to allow other dogs in my home. I apologize for any inconvenience this causes you.

“Bernadette was so kind and thorough while with my puppy. She sent me updates of what they did and I got a cute little photo! She knows my puppy is having an issue with one of her legs right now so she took her on a small walk just to get some energy out still and of course for potty. She communicated well with me throughout the hour. She is also so flexible with availability! I would highly recommend booking her for your puppy or adult dog:)”


About: Hello there! I'm Syriah! I have basic dog training skills from classes I've taken in the past, and would love to take your pet out for nice long walks across the various parks nearby. I've had my own little guy for a wonderful 16 years. And would love to share some of that love with your pets as well! I'll make sure they'll be taken well care of! I normally work as a traveling Theatrical technician but whenever my months are free, I'm free to take care of your pet for as long as you need me to. I live in a safe and secure apartment building w/ lots of spaces outside to keep your pup happy and engaged in the day and secure at night. I don't intend on keeping your pet inside too much since I'm a outdoorsy person myself, unless you have special instructions. And the neighbors do keep to themselves, as well as their pets.

About: My name is Ruby and I have been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. I love them all and my goal is to make sure they are happy and healthy. Your babies will be thoroughly entertained and mentally stimulated when they are with me. I am a quick learner and a friendly individual who follows specific instructions with ease. I look forward to taking care of your furbabies! Experience with dogs for over 15 years. I have walked dogs for 8 years in the past. I have advanced knowledge in dog health, behavior, psychology and nutrition. I have basic knowledge and experience with all other pets. I know doggy CPR. Why I love dog sitting I am a passionate animal lover who only wants the best for them. Being able to care for them while their owners are away and seeing how happy they are after a stay puts a smile on my face. My experience administering medication I administer medication for my dog on a daily basis, as well as friend/family's dogs whenever needed. I’ve given insulin shots, vaccines, oral medication, as well as topical medication. I spend most of my time taking care of animals throughout the day as it is my passion, not to mention I have a decent amount of pets myself. I do also take care of my elderly grandmother so I split my time up accordingly. The pets in my home all get treated equally and as one of my own and they always feel right at home! I wake up and the first thing I do is let the dogs out for their morning bathroom break. They all typically go out into my fenced in yard together as one big group. I prepare their breakfasts while they're all outside and then feed them once they are let back into the house. They spend the day with me around the house where they play with each other and where I play games with them. They go on 2-3 walks per day (if the owners allow me to take them for walks) and get plenty of exercise throughout the day. They're fed their dinner between 6pm and 7pm, get their last potty break at about 9pm and then we are done for the day!
