I have dog sat since I was 8 years old when I would watch my neighbor's dog for a month at a time while they went on business trips. Also I have owned large dogs and have experienced taking care of elder dogs. friends and employers have relied on me to watch their animals, feed, water, walk...ect I am a college graduate and am a stay at home mom. I have a flexible schedule to walk and or run your dog in the morning or evening ! Let me know know how I can help! I can come to your house and Run or Walk your dog depending on its needs as well as feed, bathe and give him/her lots of love.

About: Growing up, my environment was filled with dogs, which gave me hands-on experience with different breeds early on. I have cared for everything from small, high-energy breeds like Chihuahuas and Yorkies to larger and stronger breeds like Rottweilers and Pit Bulls. This exposure taught me how to adapt to the unique needs of each dog, including their routines, feeding habits, personality quirks, and behaviors. My ability to connect with dogs of all sizes and temperaments ensures they feel secure and cared for under my supervision. Overall, I have six years of experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and temperaments, making knowledge, communication, and observation key skills of mine! These skills have been used to care for all dogs, whether it be seniors, new borns, or behavior-challenged dogs. Don't hesitate to reach out, I am always willing and able to assist in any situation! Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine; my flexible schedule allows me to prioritize the needs of the pets in my care. As a high school graduate, I have learned to manage my time efficiently, ensuring I provide consistent attention and care throughout the day. As a college student, I am able to schedule coursework around those in my care, giving each pet the structure they deserve while staying on top of my responsibilities. My ability to balance these tasks ensures that pets always feel cared for, even during busy periods. In addition, having free weekends allows me to dedicate more time to those in my care; I use this time for grooming, mental stimulation, or fun activities depending on the dogs' needs and abilities. My focus on time management ensures that each pup is always prioritized, with plenty of quality time and attention incorporated into their routine. Overall, my goal is to provide a calm, nurturing, and healthy environment. I can ensure that pet care is prioritized in my routine, allowing me to meet the needs of every dog I meet. Caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s home, revolves around creating a safe, healthy, and comfortable environment that fosters trust, respect, and well-being. Safety is my top priority; this includes securing the living space to prevent accidents, deep cleaning after every stay, and ensuring pets have access to fresh water and appropriate food for their dietary needs. In terms of health, I carefully monitor their behavior to identify any signs of distress or illness and address them promptly. For outdoor activities, I use secure leashes or harnesses, supervise them, and monitor them while off leash closely. Building trust with animals is essential to providing effective care. I take time to understand their unique personalities, preferences, and routines. By approaching them gently, respecting their boundaries, and offering positive reinforcement, I create a sense of security and reliability. Whether it’s maintaining consistency in feeding schedules, potty breaks, and spending quality time/playing, I strive to create a comfortable and enjoyable environment for each dog I meet. I can ensure they feel valued and cared for. Overall, the environment I provide is clean, stimulating, and adapted to their specific needs. I offer comfortable resting areas, engaging toys, and plenty of space to explore. I respect established routines and follow your care instructions precisely, maintaining a seamless transition for your pet. My approach combines attentiveness, compassion, responsibility, and professionalism to ensure every pet thrives under my care.

About: I have taken care of cats since I was about 10 years old and dogs since I was about 13. Shortly after I moved out I adopted puppy then a kitten. It was definitely fun training my own puppy. I am currently a stay at home mom who also homeschools my kids. Our dogs are taken out for walks during the day and night. We love playing and cuddling with our cats and dogs throughout our school day. We crate our dogs when we are not home. If your pet is needed to be in a crate when you are not home, I can ensure that will happen.

About: I have pets for over 20 years; from puppies and kittens all the way to their senior years. With the majority of my babies being rescues, I have the pleasure of experiencing their early days all the way to their golden years as they prepared to cross the rainbow bridge. This has provided me a ton of experience to provide a wide range of range of care from when they are little and requiring lots of attention through teething and basic skills, all the way to the special care that older pets need such as assistance walking, medication and potty troubles. Currently, our pack includes one growing girl, a two year old mixed breed dog who gets along splendiferously with 3 dignified cats and 1 who begrudgingly tolerates her. In my years of pet sitting, I have worked with dogs and cats of various ages and breeds. I have always respected every owner's parenting style and decisions. I also respect the boundaries of the owner's home as I would hope someone would of mine. I am free most days, including weekends. I'm comfortable with several short visits throughout the day or long visits just to keep your babies company! Safety and the physical and mental health of your friend(s) are my first priority. From my experience as a foster, I’ve learned that every pet has different needs and I’ve learned to identify and address those needs. I regularly do full body inspections on my own pets and will do the same for yours to ensure they are safe and happy when you return!

About: I am currently a veterinary assistant student, taking care of your animals will give me the opportunity to be able to expand my school experience and give you confidence in me and my capabilities when it comes to taking care of your pets. I am currently a student, my class schedule is Monday-Thursday therefore i am not able to do overnight stays during the week. Friday-Sunday i am completely free and will be able to take care and put my full attention to your pets. I will be available to do drop ins and walks during the week anytime before 5pm. I know how to work well with animals and give them the time they need, i will work to gain the pets and owner’s trust. I know how to handle animals if they are misbehaving and need to be put in a time out if anything of the sorts were to happen.

“Paris is so great with our dogs and very communicative! She provided a lot of updates and details to ensure our dogs feel taken care of.”

About: I began caring for dogs at a young age and have experience with a variety of breeds, ages, temperaments, diets, and care needs. I understand that every dog is different, and I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and preferences to help them feel safe and comfortable while you're away. I pride myself on being reliable, attentive, and communicative, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. Whether your pup loves long walks, extra playtime, lots of cuddles, or simply sticking to a familiar routine, I'm happy to accommodate their needs. I can't wait to meet your furry friend! Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine because I work fully remotely and maintain a flexible schedule. This allows me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, walks, playtime, and care throughout the day rather than leaving pets alone for extended periods. I am available on weekdays, weekends, and for long-term stays, and I enjoy building my schedule around making sure pets feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I always follow the owner's instructions closely to maintain a pet's normal routine and provide consistency while they're away. This includes feeding schedules, exercise routines, medications, crate training, house rules, and any special care requirements. In both my home and a client's home, I prioritize safety, cleanliness, exercise, affection, and plenty of supervision. I make sure pets receive the attention, enrichment, and care they need while keeping owners updated with regular messages and photos for peace of mind.

About: Over the 15 years I’ve been house sitting professionally, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for puppies to sr. dogs, kittens to sr. cats, lizards, fish, birds, and even farm animals. My goal when I care for your pet is to keep your pet in the routine to which they are accustomed. That means I follow your written instructions, as far their feeding time, walk time, etc. Though, I also want your vacation to feel like a staycation for your pet. That means I’m going to have fun with them whether that means giving them belly rubs, playing fetch with them or playing other fun games with them. Also, please note that you can hire me for overnights, dog walks, or both. So, my price for overnight stays is to stay in your home and care for your pet, but dog walking is separate from overnight stays. During my stay, as much as I will care for you pet(s), I will also care for your home. I’m happy to water any plants, bring in any deliveries/mail, take out the trash and other light chores (I won’t mow your lawn). I work for myself writing online content for people, so my work goes where I go. The only thing I ask is that you have an Internet connection and someplace where I can set up my computer. As far as caring for pets in my home, I am only able to board certain breeds of dogs, and that is contingent on the permission of the homeowner. I am unable to care for cats in my home, but I would be able to come to your home.. In general, I always care for your pet according to your schedule and preference. And I am always sure to adjust my schedule according to the schedule you set for me to ensure your pet receives optimal care. But the key to pet sitting is to emulate the routine to which the dog is already accustomed. My goal is that when you go on vacation your pet(s) will feel like they're on a staycation. Also, please note while I charge $65 per day, I charge separately for walks ($20 per walk). For pets that do not require walks (cats, sr. dogs, etc), I charge $75 a day.

“I highly recommend Beth. She took very good care of our 7 year old Golden. She provided status reports and sent pictures and asked great questions. I was very comfortable having her in our home. We will be using Beth again in the future!”

About: I have grown up around pets especially dogs all my life. I have a sweet little dog named Taco Toast. I am looking forward to taking care of dogs and making them comfortable while their owner is away. All my friends ask me to take care of their dogs when they leave town because they know they will be in good hands. My townhouse is big, clean and comfortable. I live in Golden Hill and love it. Lots of good places to go on walks near by. My experience ranges from tiny toy dogs to large labs to over 120 pound dogs. I am happy to stay at your house as well. Also happy to check in on your pup or cat. I have experience living with cats as well and taking taking of cats when my friends have left town. I work remote from home and can be with your pup! I will change my routine to fit any needs as I can be flexible. I make sure each animal is safe and has what they need. I will communicate with you during your trip and make sure you are comfortable as well.

“Fantastic job, really friendly and responsive - we appreciate the professionalism, flexibility, and confidence in handling our dog.”

About: I have always lived in a house with dogs. I have experience in administering medication to dogs anywhere from birth to the senior years.

I am able to check in as many times as needed as well as stay overnight, I do live in a house with a lot of animals so I don’t believe it would be a good idea to take other pets into my home but, I can guarantee to treat your pets and home as if they are my own when in my care.
