During the holidays I needed someone to help me take care of my pets, I felt so comfortable knowing that Jeanine was there to help me, not only she took great care of my pets she also made sure to send us pictures and communicate with us. Lana my dog always seems so happy in all of the pics! I have lots of trust on Jeanine (who indirectly took care of my house for the holidays as well) and definitely have her in speed dial in case of needing help.

Sarah was the best! She walked our dog, Bella, for a few weeks. Bella can be tough to walk, and Sarah made it look easy. Bella absolutely loved her and waiting for her by the window each day. Will definitely book Sarah again!

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and genuinely love being around them—I’m reliable, punctual, loving, and I always prioritize your dog’s well-being first. I work a flexible job and am available on weekdays after 11 AM, with weekend mornings also open. I’m happy to coordinate a routine that works best for you and your pup! Your dog’s safety is my top priority—I always keep a close eye on them, use secure leashes, avoid risky situations, and treat every walk with the same care and attention I’d give my own pet.

About: I've been house sitting/ pet sitting for about 15 years now. My friends, family, and neighbors have all trusted me to watch their furry, feathered,or scaled babies for long trips out of state/country or for last minute help. I personally have a few different types of animals from cats and dogs to bunnies and my snake and a few chickens. I've also had experience with live stock as well. I'm also looking going to school to be a vet tech as well! I love going on hikes and being outside so if your furry friends like long walks we will fit perfectly together! I hope to get to know and help you and your babies soon! I am available any day of the week and weekends the only time I'm unavailable is Thursday's from 8pm-12pm for karaoke hosting. Other then that I am free! My house/backyard is safe for dogs and I also have crates for dogs but I perfer to stay where they are comfortable and not anxious. The pets tend to have better experiences when I stay at the client's home.

About: Dog sitting with 2 adults with flexible work schedules and 2 children that love pups! Our family enjoyed 10 years with our two precious Maltese pups before having to give them to our extended family due to a moving transition. Our two kids (ages 8 & 5), love to cuddle and play with our furry friends! Nightly Dog walks around the neighborhood are our favorite. My personal experience with pets is vast. Growing up, we had a myriad of different types of pets including a lamb, fish, and chickens, but alway dogs were part of our family picture! We’re looking forward to giving our children and your pets, the same positive family experience I had growing up. Lap dogs are our heart! Would love to cuddle and care for yours!

About: Hi there! I’m Logan and I thank you for giving my profile a look! My family has had dogs in our house since 2009, so I’ve taken care of multiple dogs in my life. I love any breed and size! I can’t work with cats as much family has a history of cat allergies. I can’t wait to meet you and your dog(s) wagging tail(s) My mom used to work at a school and asked me to take care of our two dogs for the day while she was gone. I made sure they had food, water, went to the restroom and had lots of fun! I treat all the dogs we have like they’re my child. I take care of them to make sure they live long happy lives! It’s nice to cuddle with them.

About: I spent three wonderful years working at a veterinarian hospital, where I developed a deep affection for dogs. While I don’t currently have any pets of my own due to frequent travel, I cherish the opportunity to care for and enjoy the company of the pups I walk or host. After some life changes, I shifted my focus to my college studies and relocated from Santee, CA, to Poway, CA. I truly missed having dogs around and am now eager to return to what I love. I don’t have any pups of my own (but that’s because we as a family can’t decide), but I will give your pup all the love and then send them home happy & tired. i only work 3 days a week at a level one trauma hospital in the operating room. I’m able to make my schedule 2 months in advance which helps out with future vacation dates you may need. I have a small side yard however, I live within 5 minutes of walking to an awesome park that I go to daily. You won’t have to worry about exercise in my neighborhood.

About: Hi! I am Sara! Dog mom, pastry baker, and animal lover. I have a very small pupper of my own. I am most comfortable with the very small but mighty protectors, who may need some extra love and attention, or maybe some extra potty breaks. I am also experienced with the bigger puppers as well, (Tank, 100 lb Saint Bernard). I like to think of all dogs all puppers, no matter their age or size. Every dog is still the young happy loving pupper that they once were that still needs all the love and attention. Can't wait to meet all the new and loving puppers hopefully soon! Currently working from home, making sweet pastries and custom cakes. I have a lot of extra time in between orders and would love to get out and enjoy the sun and beautiful day with your wonderful dogs. I can care for small and medium size puppers here in my home. I have plenty of beds and step stools for our mighty small puppers. I am also very comfortable with larger dogs as well, but my place is a little small so I am available for house calls/sitting and always available to take a our lovely dogs out for a much needed walk and some extra exercise.

About: Ever since I can remember, I have always been around and have loved animals. I got a dog of my own at 7 years old, my first dog when I was seven years old, but I began caring for other dogs five years ago. I've walked and cared for dogs of all ages and  I'm excited to meet you and your pet! I'm working this summer, but I'll still have plenty of time to play with your pups! In terms of pet sitting, I am available for both routine visits and overnight stays (in your house). As long as it does not interfere with work, I am relatively flexible with walking times. Weekends are also fairly open for me! I'll treat your dog and home as if they were mine! When putting your dog out, I'll make sure the backyard gates are shut, the doors to your home are always locked, that your dog is getting more than enough walks and exercise, and that they're never thirsty or hungry!

About: I am an animal lover that routinely volunteers with shelters and fostering agencies! I believe every pet deserves a home and will treat your pet like they are a member my home. I know having a pet is like having a child, and I strive to stay flexible and adapt to your pets needs!! I currently work full time and volunteer at shelters on select weekends! I am away from my family dog and would love to spend quality time with your pet as I miss my dog so much! Drop in visits are always fun for me as I know dogs are most comfortable at home. Let me know if you want me to let your pet into the yard and what exactly they like to do! I love knowing favorite toys and love taking dogs on walks
