About: I have a 14 year old beagle corgi mix. Happy to do walks and drop in visits for your pups. Feel free to reach out! I am currently working from home, but I would love to care for your pups if there are times when you need that additional support. I have taken care of my friends’ dogs. I am very detailed oriented in following directions for those with special needs. I am also open to walks during the drop-in visits.

Adam was able to help us watch our dogs with very last minute notice and took excellent care of our older dog and rambunctious puppy. Thank you, Adam!

Sjofn was soooooo happy to get so many belly rubs she was thrilled and didn’t want them to leave. I highly recommend Guilherme and his wife. Sjofn would be thrilled to get more belly rubs and I would be happy to have them watch her again :)

Forrest and I are so happy to have had Trina drop in and spend time with him. She is a remarkable caregiver and her affection for dogs is undeniable. I did not have to worry about her professionalism (she kept to the scheduled appointment, showed up on time, did not leave the place in a mess, and appropriately engaged with my dog based on his interest and energy level). It’s hard to find someone who can connect with dogs as well as she does and we are excited to have her to sit for us again.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 8 years old. I love feeding, walking, playing and caring for them. I truly connect with animals and feel honored to be a part of their lives. I am currently available on week days after 10 am and am available on weekends all day. I am in college and have lots of time to care for your pet. When caring for pets in a client's home, I treat their space with the same respect and care I would expect in mine. I follow all instructions closely and individualize their care in order to maintain a calm and safe environment for your pet.

About: I'm an active animal lover who loves the company of dogs. I've grown up surrounded by animals-- two chihuahuas and a french bulldog. I am a Stanford student who is unfortunately unable to live with a pet due to dorm restraints, which makes me even more excited to spend time with yours! I am a student with a car and a very flexible schedule. I have no problem coming to your house frequently to provide all the care your pet(s) need! I abide by the rules and routines set by the pet owner to ensure the pets feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free in my care. I follow feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any specific instructions related to medications, grooming, or behavioral needs to create the best experience possible!

About: I have over ten years of pet care experience. Growing up I volunteered at animal shelters and owned dogs and cats. I love pet sitting and have watched many animals for people in my community. I’m a law student looking to pet sit in the early mornings or evenings Monday - Friday. Additionally, I have open availability on the weekends to work. When working with dogs I make sure to walk them and ensure that they get exercise and attention. When cat sitting I love entertaining the cats by playing with toys and giving them cuddles.

Mya is super responsible, easy going, and took care of my cat (and plants) perfectly while I was out of town for a few days. It was clear she is an animal person and gave my shy kitty the attention he needed! We even had a last minute ordeal with a leak in the home and Mya needed to use our neighbor’s water and she handled it with no problem. Will book again :)

Caroline is amazing! She was able to fill in for an emergency sitting request and take care of my boys. They love her, and she takes great care of them, and provides great updates and pictures throughout. I fully recommend her!

About: I have had a dog for around 12 years and am experienced in helping watch and care for other people’s dogs as well. I have experience with older dogs, giving medication, dealing with different kinds of collars, and managing health issues. I currently have a super flexible schedule so I can come during the day or at night to help out. I am happy to help out in any way I can when it comes to your pet. I am a very attentive dog owner and caretaker. Making sure pets are comfortable and feel safe is my first priority, and I am experienced with providing medication or dealing with both young and old dogs.

About: I've always been very attached to dogs but I love all the animals small and big. I have a deep fascination for insects, reptiles and birds aswell. I'm usually flexible and have a big sized backyard at my current inlaw unit where dogs can walk around freely and be safe. I love to hike and take animal care very serious. I am certified in information and cloud security (by isc2) and live by security standards which includes privacy. I will listen to instructions of the owner and won't let my clients dogs off-leash without their agreement or my assessment (for example).

About: I take care of lots of pets in my field of work and pet wellness is my passion. I’ve taken care of pets of my friends and family as well. I’m ready to care for your pet and grow my knowledge of pet care at the same time. I’m a full time student working part time. Although I’m busy most mornings due to school and work, I’m almost always available during the afternoon, especially evenings and nights! On weekends I’m available all day and night! Contact me and I’ll let you know what times I’m available specifically and we can work on a schedule that works for both of us! Safety is an important part of pet care. While I care for your pet, it’s important to me that I’m knowledgeable on your pet’s personal medications, eating and drinking habits, as well as playfulness and exercise habits. I’ll work closely with you and your pet to care for them in the best way possible!
