“Corrina has been such a huge help this week! Thank you so much!!”

About: Hi there! Thanks so much for stopping by my profile. . I'm a dependable, trustworthy animal lover and proud dog mom to two rescue pups, Chance and Kobe. Before them, I rescued a kitten from a shelter who lived to be 18 years old. She had diabetes, so I administered her insulin injections twice a day, every day, for years. . Today, Chance has Addison's disease and corneal edema, so I'm very experienced with administering oral medications, injections, eye drops, and eye ointments (all things he needs now! ❤️). I understand how important it is to follow medication schedules and provide calm, attentive care, especially for pets with medical needs. . I grew up with Dobermans and German Shepherds, which gave me a lot of senior dog experience as I cared for them as they grew old. I have hands-on experience with reactive dogs, including redirecting behaviors, reading body language, and reinforcing basic training. Because one of my own dogs is reactive, I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and respecting each pet's comfort level. I worked with multiple rescues, fostering dogs and cats (a lot of cats). I would rescue them from the euthanasia list at the high-kill shelters, administer meds, as they were always sick, care and foster them until they found their forever home. I also used to manage a doggy day care. . I am a working professional & work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to devote to the pets in my care. While I absolutely adore my dogs, I also miss spending time with cats and would love the opportunity to care for yours or your pups😉! . My pups are family and my BFFs; I do everything I can to give them the happiest, healthiest life possible. I'll care for your pets with that same level of love, patience, and attention, so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I currently work remote, which allows a somewhat flexible schedule to do drops-ins and walks. Since I have my own 2 pups, I'm not available for boarding or overnight stays. I would love to follow any instructions you give me so I can care for pet just as you would. Pets love routines and schedules so I will keep to whatever you tell me. I know what it's like to have sitters and want things done a specific way, I'm very good at paying attention to details. I'll send a text when I arrive and when I leave to make sure you know your pet is being cared for.

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and have years of hands on experience caring for them through every stage of life. From energetic puppies who need patience, play, and consistency to senior dogs who require extra attention, gentle care, and medication, I’m comfortable meeting each pet’s unique needs. I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress free experience while you’re away. You’ll also receive frequent photo and video updates, so you can relax knowing your furry family members is happy, comfortable, and in great hands. I would love the schedule a meet and greet and get your pup familiar with my home. I want this to be as stress free as possible for you. :) I work in real estate and work from home most days with occasional meetings. Weekends are spent on long walks and beach days. I’m happy to bathe dogs after beach trips and always ask permission before any fun field trips. I live in a gated condo community with grassy areas. I have a 1 year old golden doodle who’s playful but can be calm for senior pets. I use cameras when briefly away for added safety and always prioritize a secure, trusted environment for your pet.

“Katherine was very responsive and flexible on short notice. She was thorough in her review of the walk and provided great pictures. Our dog seemed comfortable with her. This was our first time using Rover, and she made it an easy experience.”

About: I've taken care of people's pets since I was in high school. We recently lost our dog, so we miss having an animal around and would love to care for your pet as if they were our own. I am a teacher and have the summer off and long breaks throughout the year, in which I have plenty of time to care for your pet. I love to walk, so I'd love to take your dog with me. I have a small patio where pets can get some fresh air and watch the birds and squirrels throughout the day.

“Amazing dog walker, very responsive and sent so many photos and updates!!!”

Laura M.

“Shanice is great! Very communicative, great with my pup, and sends lots of photos of their walks together. I feel very secure knowing my pup will be watched by a fellow dog lover. Will be rebooking with her every-time!”

Madison P.

“Sarah and Karl are incredible! They asked very thorough questions and followed all of Ripley’s very specific training and medicine protocol. He is a reactive dog and they are great with him. I look forward to continuing to work with them!”

Molly C.

“Megan was so helpful while we were away. She was always on time and our dog really enjoyed his walks with her. I appreciated the photos and updates while I was traveling.”

About: With over 15 years of experience in dog walking and personalized pet sitting, I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages and temperaments. I’ve also fostered more than 35 puppies and dogs for rescue organizations, in addition to my own pets, helping them grow into confident social companions so that they can find their home. In addition, I bring over 11 years of dog training experience, allowing me to work confidently with shy, high-energy and/or behaviorally unique pups. I understand that every dog is different and I tailor my training to meet each one’s individual needs. Your dog’s safety, comfort and happiness are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each dog’s unique personality, routine and needs - whether that means high-energy playtime, structured walks or a slower, more relaxed pace for shy and/or senior pups. I always move at their comfort level, respect boundaries, and use positive, gentle handling to create a safe and stress-free experience. During every visit, I make sure your dog receives attentive care, companionship, and plenty of enrichment. I’m happy to follow specific feeding routines, administer basic medications, reinforce training cues, and keep their environment clean and secure. With my background in photography, you’ll receive high-quality photo and video updates after each visit - so you can feel connected, reassured and confident that your dog is happy and well cared for while you’re away. I currently work from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide your pets with the time, attention and care they deserve. I focus on keeping them both physically active and mentally stimulated, whether that’s through walks, playtime, enrichment activities and/or simply providing companionship. We have access to two fenced-in dog parks within my complex, providing a safe and fun space for exercise and play. I also have a friendly 5 year old spayed female dog, up-to-date with vaccines, who gets along great with both dogs and cats - she loves having company, whether it’s for playtime or just relaxing at home watching TV.

“Jasmine was great with my 85 pound reactive dog! She took her time with him and made sure he and I were comfortable throughout her walks. Always communicating and giving great comments after his walk. What a trooper!”

“Tara gave my baby girl a good workout on her walks while I was away out of town! Will def use her again for future walks! :)”

About: I’ve loved dogs and cats since the day I was born. I’m a dog (cat) mom and have worked with rescue animals. Being with animals brings me so much joy and it’s a job I take very seriously. I’m a full time dog walker, cat sitter and It has been my dream job for years. Sadly due to the circle of life, I’ve lost several animals (including my senior pup) recently and would love to have some new fur friends in my life. Having me in your home will give you a big piece of mind as I am very outgoing, respectful, clean, efficient, and believe in karma!

About: I have had lots of experience dog sitting and walking in the past. I have walked all different types and ages of dogs. I will make sure your dog is safe and has an amazing time on their walk. I work from home and have availability during the day to take breaks and take your dog for a walk if you're local. I also have time after work and on weekends for dog walks. Happy to dog sit. Always respectful of your place and will make sure it maintains the status you left it in. My apartment building does not allow dogs.

About: Leaving your fur babies behind is never easy, but I’m here to give you total peace of mind. As a registered veterinary technician with 14 years of experience caring for animals, I’m happily stepping out of the clinic and into your home! My goal is to bring that same high level of medical expertise and attentiveness into the comfortable, stress-free environment where your pets feel safest. Whether your sweet pup or kitty needs a strict medical routine, or just an extra dose of love and belly rubs while you’re away, I promise to treat them exactly like my own. Because I work from home, I have the complete freedom and flexibility to closely adhere to your pet's individual daily routine and schedule. Whether that’s with drop-in visits, walks and exercise, or pet sitting in your home. Every pet has their own perfect pace, and I'm happy to match it. From leisurely walks along the strand/beach to high-energy games of fetch in the park or yard, or just cozying up for some serious couch-potato cuddles, your pet gets exactly the kind of day they love most. My extensive veterinary background equips me to handle pets that require specialized attention. I am highly experienced in administering oral and injectable medications. I have been fully trained in recognizing subtle animal behaviors, and tailor my care to meet their individual needs and personalities. I always respect their boundaries, move to their level of comfort, and use only positive and gentle handling so they feel safe and loved. My own experience caring for my beloved cranky 14 year old pup, who suffers from epilepsy and immune mediated illness, has taught me to be extremely observant, read body language meticulously, and proactively adapt environments to avoid negative situations. I am passionate about welcoming animals of all breeds, sizes, temperaments, and life stages—from energetic puppies and kittens to sweet seniors. I have 2 senior pups and a 26-year-old tortoise of my own! My love for animals is a huge part of who I am, even outside the clinic. While living in Southeast Asia, I spent my time volunteering with local rescue organizations, where I personally loved on and cared for over 200 dogs and puppies. From nursing injured and paralyzed pups to keeping up with daily feeding, bathing, and playtime, I was fully hands-on. Above all, your pet’s safety and happiness are at the heart of everything I do. I want you to feel like you're leaving your baby with a trusted friend. I pride myself on being reliable, attentive, and deeply compassionate, and I treat your home and pets with the utmost respect. I promise to keep you connected with plenty of sweet updates and photos along the way. I truly love going the extra mile to ensure that you can relax completely, knowing your furry family member is feeling loved, comfortable, and completely pampered. Can't wait to meet your best friend! Working from home gives me the complete flexibility to seamlessly match your pets daily routine. I am available for whatever your pet needs, from walks and feedings to drop-in’s and full pet sitting. Because my own grumpy senior pup doesn’t do well with new friends, I don’t offer care in my home. However, I’d love to keep your pets routine perfectly consistent by caring for them in their own familiar space.

About: My name is Maria Teresa and I have spent my entire life around animals. I have always felt they deserve the best! My genuine love for animals goes beyond any human comprehension. I always go above and beyond of what is expected of me because I have pets too and understand that they are our babies. I treat my babies like they are just that, babies! How could you not due to their pure innocent nature? I am a very responsible, loving and caring individual that will always have your pets best interest at heart. I intuitively know what is needed to connect with them, a gift that I discovered at a young age. I also love to laugh and play around so your pet will be highly entertained. You will never need to worry, your pet will be protected and cared for as if you never left. Please let me know how I can help you make your time away from your pet more carefree and manageable. I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby. MT I'm currently working part time and have a really flexible schedule so I can accommodate different time of the day and week,I can also stay over night as a pet sitter. I provide a safe ,clean and loving environment for all my dogs and cats babies. I stay in a pet friendly building with gates and security so everyone is safe.

“Very professional . Josh made me feel very comfortable with handing him my 95 pounds malamute. I felt he had true experience with dogs. He has the zen- calm - confident demeanor that pack type dogs like huskies malamutes etc ... need to feel comfortable with their leader. He is punctual, stress-free attitude, communicates clearly and and overall gave a great friendly service. I will be happy to call for him again.”

About: I've been caring for cats since I was atleast 8. One of our cats was a stray who I bonded with over many months and continue to bond with now even though she is a bit frosty in her old age. The trust we have built for each other has been a beautiful experience. My family rescued a senior dog in 2016 and I have helped to care for her since then. I have a soft spot for senior dogs and want to make them as comfortable as I can. I work part time at the LMU library so my hours are pretty minimal. I work Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday in the evenings. As I am hoping this will be a second source of income I am pretty flexible with my schedule as long as it doesn't interfere with my other job. I do not like to make a mess or any sort of impression in places that I visit. I am very patient with animals. If your pet is anxious or introverted I am fine to keep to myself completely or get to know them on their terms. I would never want to cross any line with a pet or homeowner.

“Charisse did a great job working to connect with our dogs as well as keeping the consistency of what we practice with them. Charisse was very thoughtful on the questions she asked to ensure she would provide the love and care we provide.”
