“William has been fantastic with our very energetic puppy! Highly recommend him for dogs of all ages! We always appreciate the detailed note and pictures after every visit!”
About: I have three cats and took care of my grandparents two puppies when I was kid. Most of my friends are pet owners so I occasionally taking care of their pets when they are out of town as well. I’m kinda introverted but very friendly and patient to pets because they’re humble and honest I’m very flexible this year after being layoff:( I decided to have a gap year and do something meaningful. I’m also reply promptly if you have any question. I will preview and follow your instruction, feel free to add any extra requirements and introducing your pet’s personality or any special hobbies. They are babies to you so to me.
About: I’ve grown up around both cats and dogs; while I’ve only ever owned cats, I love to be around dogs any chance I get! I love both animals! I am currently transitioning out of unemployment so my schedule is starting to fill up. I’m leaving my profile up until I finish my last two jobs on here but I’m not accepting any new jobs right now I prioritize the animal’s health, safety, and well-being by sticking to the instructions left by the owner, and depending on the dog’s preference I will either play with them all day, or sit with them quietly and give them attention. No matter what kind of personality your dog has, I will accommodate them to the best of my ability and only show them tenderness and love as they deserve.
About: I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats since I was 17. Family, neighbors, and friends have trusted me to walk, feed, clean up after, and comfort their pets while they’re away. Whether it’s a snuggly cat or an energetic pup, I always approach animals with patience and love. I currently work part-time, so I’m flexible and can make time for drop-in visits or overnight stays at your home. I’m available on weekends and most weekdays after 2PM. I’ll treat your home with care—and your pets like family. I do not offer boarding in my own home, but I provide thoughtful, reliable care in your space—where your pets feel most secure. I respect your home, follow your pet’s routine, and ensure they feel safe, soothed, and seen while you’re away.
“Nicole walks our dog daily and we fully recommend her for anyone's pet care needs! Our dog is greatly improving on the leash after his daily walks with Nicole and is so at ease when she is around. Nicole is responsive, on time, and, most importantly, great with our dog.”
“I can’t recommend her highly enough. She is a mature, responsible caregiver who clearly takes her role seriously. From the start, I have felt completely comfortable trusting her with my dog. Communication was thoughtful and reliable, and it was obvious that she pays close attention to each dog’s needs.Sonja is experienced, dependable, and genuinely caring.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, fish, birds, and hamsters since I was a kid. I’ve been taking care of my families pets my whole life, now I live with two 19 and 12 year old cats and a 13 year old dog and 6 month old puppy that I share in responsibility for. I am confident with administering medicine to animals. I am comfortable taking care of senior animals who need extra help and care. I’m am available Friday- Monday for house sitting, drop in visits, and dog walking. I share responsibility for my pets at home so I have availability to care for your pets. Taking care of my animals is one of the most important parts of my life. I take my puppy on walks of various lengths throughout the day and my senior dog joins us for shorter walks just in my yard due to his health. I am ready to adapt to your pets individual needs. I manage two cat litter boxes at home and am comfortable with managing litter boxes.
“Danny is so kind and caring with our 10 month old puppy and makes sure he gets all the love, care, and walks he needs. He is very attentive and flexible to the dog’s needs and so communicative with us.”
About: I looked and took care of my Yorkie dog for 18 years. He was a very healthy dog. Also, I took care of all the family dogs and cats. I will have time to play and take care of your pet. I am available seven days per week for staying overnight with your four-leg loved ones. The dog or cat should have their own area where they sleep inside the (house/apartment). They should have all the vaccines and adequate space to be themselves.
“Aneta have been walking our 7 month old German Short Hair puppy. Taking our energetic puppy for walks takes a lot of patience and has a bit of a learning curve. Aneta has been receptive to listen to my wife and I on things that work for us to have the puppy walk rather then bounce all over. Aneta has been flexible on adjusting her schedule when we have things come up and need someone walk our puppy.”
“Pamela has been amazing with our 14.5 year old special needs dog Shayna! She is sweet and extremely patient with her, and has made a point of trying to get to know Shayna and her needs. Pamela followed our care instructions to a tee. She was punctual and sent us pictures and texts while visiting Shayna, and even stayed a little longer than the scheduled visit until she was sure Shayna was settled before heading out. We are very pleased with Pamela and look forward to having her take care of Shayna again soon.”
About: I grew up with dogs since I was 18 months old. I volunteered at an animal hospice center in high school for animals with disabilities. I’m currently a Stay at home Mom so I am free to take care of your dog most week days and weekends preferably between the hours of 10am and 3:30pm, but if requested ahead of time I can change my schedule! I can send you pictures of your fur baby every time they are walked, played with, or visited so you feel safe knowing they are taken care for.
About: There is no greater bond then a dog and his owner. I want your four legged friend to feel the same about me. When you drop off your loved one, I want you to feel at ease so you can go about your business and not have to worry. I never had a dog growing up we were cat people. In my early 50s I started being around dogs a lot. I can't believe it took me this long. I now live breath and think dogs. i jump at the chance when friends ask me to take care of their dogs. I treat them as if they were mine. I have learned that a softer voice works better than yelling. For small dogs when you get down to their level they also respond better . My goal is to make you feel good and for me to have a new friend.
