About: What sets me apart as a dog sitter is the combination of genuine love for animals, reliability, and attention to each dog’s unique needs. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages and temperaments, including those with special medical or behavioral needs. I go beyond basic pet care by offering extra services like daily walk routines, photo and video updates, and even basic training reinforcement when requested. I’m certified in pet first aid and CPR, which gives my clients peace of mind knowing their pets are in safe, capable hands. I’m known for being flexible, dependable, and calm in unexpected situations—qualities that help dogs feel secure and happy in my care. Whether it’s a quick check-in or an extended stay, I treat every dog as if they were my own. I work part-time and choose my days on and off, I work at Kidspeace as a mental health technician! I have a very flexible schedule to accommodate with yours! I take pride in providing reliable, compassionate care for pets both in my own home and in the homes of others. When caring for animals in my home, I ensure they have a clean, safe, and welcoming environment that mirrors the routine they’re used to—complete with regular feedings, walks, playtime, and plenty of affection. When pet sitting in someone else’s home, I respect their space and closely follow all instructions regarding the pet’s care, including diet, medication, and behavior needs. I aim to maintain the pet’s normal routine to reduce stress while keeping the home neat and secure. I also provide consistent updates, including photos and messages, to keep owners reassured while they’re away. Above all, I treat every pet as if they were my own—with patience, love, and the highest level of care.

About: I have worked with dogs before. I have met and learned to handle aggressive, scared, young, or old dogs. Any dog of any breed I will love! I volunteer at a local rescue every day that I am available, not to mention I also have a ton of animals at my own house I care for! I grew up with cats, dogs, reptiles, birds, fish.. you name it! I have learned patience and love for animals. I currently care for my dogs, cats, snake, lizard, and chickens!

About: I can't remember a moment in my life when I haven't been surrounded by animals, I grew up in a neighborhood full of dogs and my household was always full of cats. I wasn't a stranger to keeping the peace between the two. I loved walking my neighbor's dog, always helped to keep in shape as an athlete. I am used to walking/ running with larger dogs so keeping up and gaining control of them will never be an issue. My favorite part of day is coming home and seeing my pets! I'm more available in the early morning, evening or on weekend. I try my best to work with your schedule so this runs as smooth as possible without interference or interrupting your daily life and business! I try my best to spend time with my animals when I can, tho my cat tends to ignore me, he still heat all the pets and cuddles he deserves!

About: My name is Justice! I’m from San Antonio TX and I also am from Michigan too! I’ve been living with dogs since I was 10 and I’ve always been responsible to help take care of them and give them love. The most dogs at one I had to help with was around 15 dogs. Me and my aunt had bathed, de-ticked and feed. I’ve always taken care of others pets. My aunt Ashley is the #1 sitter in the area and I plan on. Helping her cover some ground as well as help anyone that needs someone like her to help out. I currently don’t have a main job but I plan on getting an overnight one or early morning (12pm-8am) sometime soon but I’ll have the whole day to do what I can. I will of course feed and play with them….and as needed I can brush them if need be. I’ve done it for multiple dogs before and I can tell yours won’t be any different.

About: I love my dog more than anything. I grew up with multiple dogs of varying breeds and sizes. My dog gets along with every dog she meets. I would love to help care for your dog and would treat them like my own. I also work for a german shepherd rescue. I occasionally have foster dogs and help find them the right adopter and their forever home. When I’m not fostering I volunteer with my rescue either transporting dogs on the euthanasia list in a shelter to foster homes or I help with paperwork. We often get dogs that are mixes or other breeds than German shepherds, so I get to meet a lot of dogs on a regular basis. I work remotely from home during the week so I am always around with the dogs. On weekends I do shorter shifts at a doggy daycare and boarding facility. I can leave dogs I’m watching at home or take them to work with me if needed as long as I have their up to date medical records. I allow pets on the furniture, but also have a few dog beds around the house that my dog doesn’t mind sharing. Dogs are fed separately so there are no problems with guarding. I allow dogs to sleep in the bed if that is what they are used to and the owner is fine with it.

About: I have been training and taking of dogs, from medium to large aggressive breeds since I was 13. It is a passion of mine that I hold dearly to my heart. I have adopted and have brought dogs and have successful trained them myself. I now have 2 County Cane Corso who are highly trained and loved. I have also in the past owned a Ankita, a Pitbull and a German Shepherd. I have also worked with Rottweilers and also Ankitas that were not mine who were mainly male dominant and allowed me to work with them. Also I have worked with old dogs and young abused rescue dogs, ones with anxiety and health issues. I find trust to be the biggest quality and also genuineness. For me I have always felt a dog can read your heart and soul and intentions with in a few mins. That includes if you are willing to be there. With this said I also have all my clearance backround checks, CPR certificated and medical technician certification as well. I have also worked with abused children and even though it is something I love to do that brings joy to my heart, dogs bring something different, that I need more of and that is peace. I not only enjoy this job but I take pride in all my work but it's the love they give back that makes me love going to work. I have children and my husband works so this job is very flexible for me and I do have child care so I can go to work. When arriving at the home I am very cautious and respectful to the animals space. I also have a ball or a toy that squeaks of some kind, I usually sit by the door and wait for them to come greet me and than I proceed to their treats and give one before the walk and after the walk. After the walk, than play and feed them food and water. While waiting for food to digest we relaxe watxh TV. Definitely work on some training as this helps develop a bond and play before back out for another walk and treat. Before leaving I pick up any pop outside and clean any mess dogs made, including their bowls and I clean the floors. If dog is able to be washed by other people I will also give the dog a bath the last day of sitting so that the owners come home to a clean house and a clean brushed dog. That is of they want me to wash their dog or dogs of course. If I must leave I do come back in the night or early morning like 5am to take care of them and stay with them for a few hrs before leaving again. I also leave on soft instrumental music on while gone if dog has high anxiety to sounds outside.
