About: Hi everyone - currently work from my house and have a really flexible schedule, my 9 year old dog, Kona, loves playing with other dogs, so I thought this would be a good fit. He is really social and well behaved. I have experience taking him on lots of pack hikes, usually with 2 or more dogs, off leash, but also spend a lot of 1x1 time with him. I have had him since he was a puppy, and have plenty of experience with younger dogs as well. I drive an SUV so I can easily accommodate dogs in my car as well. Hope to meet you and you dog(s) soon! I’m currently working part time and have a very flexible schedule. I work from home and also teach yoga a few times a week. I have an SUV so can transport! I’m also familiar with a lot of amazing hiking and walking spots in the area. I am certified in CPR and also hav extensive experience in dog walking/ handling my own dog and others. I take time to listen, feel and observe the dog in my care. I make sure to meet their needs and also listen to owners needs.

Hailey is the person you want your pets to see while you’re away. My boys immediately took to her and were happy to see her stop by. Hailey has such a warm and calming presence that made them both comfortable. I appreciated her communication with me to let me know how the visit was going as well as the videos and photos she sent over. This would have been a 10 star rating if this app had that option :)

About: I’ve cared for dogs and pets for over 25 years and truly love being around animals. Friends and family have trusted me to help care for their pets because I’m calm, dependable, attentive, and patient. I understand how important it is to feel your pet is safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away, and I treat every animal with kindness and care as if they were my own. I’m currently working part time and have a flexible schedule. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I truly enjoy spending time with animals. I have a calm, caring home and love walks, outdoor time, companionship, and giving pets the attention and affection they need to feel safe and happy. I provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. I pay close attention to each pet’s routine, personality, and needs, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and plenty of affection and companionship. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pet, and I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and the same care I would want for my own.

About: I’ve been around dogs since I was 3 years old and grew up with both dogs and cats in the home. I currently have a rescue dog that I’ve had for 10 years, and helping him work through separation anxiety, shyness, and reactivity has taught me so much about patience, consistency, body language, and building trust with animals. Through working with a professional dog behaviorist, I’ve also learned techniques for building confidence, reinforcing commands, improving leash behavior, and helping dogs feel more comfortable and engaged. While I’m not a trainer, I’m happy to consistently reinforce routines, commands, enrichment activities, and calm leash practices that owners already use with their pets. I’m very attentive to pets’ cues, comfort levels, and safety, and I understand that every animal has a different personality and needs a different approach. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me with their pets over the years because I genuinely care about making animals feel safe, comfortable, loved, and understood. I also enjoy keeping dogs mentally and physically engaged through walks, playtime, sniff mats, enrichment activities, and practicing basic commands when appropriate. My schedule is currently very flexible, which allows me to provide pets with lots of attention, exercise, potty breaks, enrichment, and companionship throughout the day. I’m primarily focused on walks, drop-ins, daycare, and daytime pet care, and I truly enjoy helping pets feel comfortable, engaged, and safe while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has different energy levels and needs, and I’m happy to accommodate routines involving walks, playtime, sniff mats, feeding schedules, medications, crate routines, and basic commands when appropriate. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my top priority. I pay very close attention to body language, stress cues, energy levels, and overall behavior to help pets feel safe and comfortable in my care. I currently have two potty-trained dogs in the home who are friendly with other dogs. Pets receive lots of supervision, affection, exercise, and engagement throughout the day. I also understand the importance of slow introductions, maintaining routines, and creating a calm environment, especially for shy or anxious pets

About: I'm a huuuge pet lover! I have two cats of my own, routinely watch/walk my brother's dogs, and also volunteer at my local cat shelter every weekend. Cleaning up litter boxes, poop, hairballs, and puke are second nature to me haha! I also took care of my senior cat who lived to 23 years, so senior pets have a very special place in my heart. Rest assured your pet will be in great hands with me. :) I am remote 3x/week so my schedule is very flexible. I am often free any time of day (besides tuesdays & wednesdays) from 7am to overnights if needed. I'm flexible to all scheduling - just let me know! I do dog walks, dog feedings, cat feedings, and cat walks (if you are interested!) :) I will keep all pets company if youre just at work for the day or need a late-night stay for a date-night.

About: I have had dogs since I was very young. I have trained pups and cared for senior dogs.I love the companionship of animals! All pets will be treated as family. I am retired and have a very well behaved female GSD under 2 years old. She is very good with other dogs and loves to play with them. I have a fenced in yard where our house guest will have plenty of room to run. 1 female GSD lives here and enjoys the company. I can also keep them separate if that is the preference.

About: My name is Chase. I am a track and field athlete with a bunch of energy. I am also experienced in dog training. I can go on runs with your dogs and take on as much play time as they can dish out. What sets me apart from other sitters is my deep love and respect for animals. I have always been a pet owner and animal lover, and I treat every pet under my care as if they were my own. I understand that pets are more than just animals, they are beloved members of the family, and they deserve the best care possible. I take the time to get to know each pet's unique personality, preferences, and needs, and I tailor my care accordingly. I am patient, compassionate, and attentive, and I make sure to give each pet the individualized care and attention they deserve. I am also reliable, professional, and responsive, and I communicate regularly with pet owners to provide updates and answer any questions or concerns they may have. Above all, I am committed to providing the highest quality pet care possible, and I take pride in making sure both pets and owners are happy and satisfied with my service. Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine. As a passionate pet lover, I prioritize the well-being and happiness of my furry friends. I start my day by feeding and walking my own pets, and then I head out to provide pet care services to my clients. During my visits, I make sure to give each pet the attention and care they need, whether it's feeding, walking, playing, or simply cuddling. I also keep track of any specific needs or instructions from the pet owner, and I communicate regularly with them to provide updates and ensure their peace of mind. After my visits, I make sure to leave the pet's environment clean and tidy, and I follow up with the owner to make sure they are satisfied with my service. Pet care is not just a job for me, it's a passion, and I take pride in providing the best care possible to every pet in my care. When caring for pets in the client's home, I follow any specific instructions or guidelines provided by the owner. I make sure to keep the pet's environment clean and tidy, and I provide the same level of love and attention that I would give to my own pets. I make sure to stick to the pet's regular feeding and exercise schedule and provide any special care or medications as needed. I also communicate regularly with the owner to provide updates and ensure their peace of mind. My priority is always the pet's comfort, safety, and happiness. I am committed to providing top-quality pet care that meets both the pet's and the owner's needs.

I used Alaina and Jake for daily drop in visits for my two cats while I was away for several days. My cats can be anxious and hide from people they are not used to but I received daily pictures of them being out of hiding and eating, so I knew they were happy. Upon returning home they were there cuddly, happy selves. It is a relief to have caring, responsible pet sitters when you are away and Alaina and Jake will be my first choice for future trips when they are available

About: I have had dogs my whole life. My job has been to feed them, give them water, clean up after them, take them for walks, and give them medication. I also currently have a senior dog, so I have some experience with them! I have experience with small and big dogs alike. I am a college student who is home for the summer, so I have full availability. During the school year, I will work around my class schedule. Evenings and weekends will be free for sure. We have a fenced yard at home. Still, I watch my dogs just in case. In spring/summer I check for ticks every time they go out. When we go on walks, I am always diligent when we pass another dog. If my dogs aren't up for walks, especially my senior dog, we go out into the backyard and play fetch or run around.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Mike! I trust very few people with my 3 dogs — Barry (12), Fiona (3), and George (1) — because they all have completely different personalities and needs. Mike has been incredibly patient, caring, and attentive with each of them, and it’s obvious how much he genuinely loves animals. I know they are in great hands when they’re with him. One of the things I appreciate most is how dependable and accommodating he is. Even with very last-minute requests, Mike always does his best to fit me into his schedule. He is also fantastic with communication. He keeps me updated before, during, and after visits, and always sends pictures of the pups on walks and playing. I highly recommend Mike, my dogs love him!

I came home to happy, well-cared-for animals and total peace of mind. I’d absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her!
