About: Hi! My name is Isabelle. I’ve been dog sitting for friends, family, and neighbors for at least 10 years! I miss having dogs around so I will love yours like my own. I work from home full time and can easily take lots of breaks to let your dog out! I also take 1-2 long walks a day. Feel free to bring their bed and any toys your dog may want to have with them. I don’t have a yard but plenty of space to walk them around.

We love Bobbie! She walks our dog Coco twice a week. She is lovely, reliable and proactive. On a few occasions when the weather forecast has been for rain she checks in ahead of time to confirm if Coco will still want a walk. Coco gets so excited when she sees her and has lots of fun with Bobbie. Could not recommend more highly!

About: I have enjoyed taking care of my family dogs and my own dog in the neighborhood since I was kid. They are a reminder that there is good in the world. I enjoy fitness and will be sure to maintain an enjoyable pace that ensures they will get their proper excercise. Please do let me know if your dog has any pre existing medical Conditions so I may make accommodations. My mornings are typically pretty open with a hard cut off by 1pm. By special request I am happy to offer afternoon/evening walks for returning customers. I have a solid fenced patio, an active security system, as well as an active and communicative neighborhood watch organization. It is a dog friendly community.

Kairi is absolutely in love with Martha and she's been a dream to work with. Attentive and available, she checks in and is great at staying on time or asking questions when needed. Martha takes directions really well and communicates effectively. Plus my 2-year-old Siberian Husky Kairi is always thrilled to see Martha and go for a walk. We are absolutely regulars now!

Virginia was great with our dogs who can be a little mischievous at times and stubborn too. She was very communicative and even let me know about cuts on my dogs paws. both of my dogs are very large dogs and she handled them well.

About: I was given the opportunity to work for a major pet store after moving to Austin, TX which is where I realized how beautiful it is to have a family member with a snout, funny ears, and a wagging tail! Helping others find what they want to spoil their furry companion with was always a joy. Rover was then introduced to me and I have been hooked ever since! Being a pup’s pal has allowed me to learn to socialize and get out into the world outside of retail work environments. Of course, socializing your pup is the goal at the end of the day too, that way we can all better understand the world we live in, but I do believe every heart and soul should get the attention they deserve. I strive to create a small bond with your pet so they know they have a friend and a home away from home. In my lifetime I have had the opportunity to work with a Beagle named Bagel, a precious Chihuahua-Terrier named Nala (R.I.P), and then a wild child, mixed lab-pit, named Chakra. I currently own Journey and Luna who are both incredible terriers not terrors at all lol. A bit about me: Daily exercise and nutrition are very important to me, therefore, I spend most of my free time cooking, cleaning, and exercising. I love the outdoors so you can frequently find me riding my bike on or jogging. Naturally, you and your dog(s) are welcome to join in! While your pup is under my care, we will work towards having the time of our lives (within the allotted time lol). The first thing after waking up would start with the quick backyard potty break, followed by breakfast, and then playtime. Some of my favorite parks in the area are Harry Griffin or Mast Park in Santee. The big, almost theme park for dogs would be Fiesta Island or a nice, clean dog beach. Then of course I would have to bathe your pet because nobody likes a stinky, muddy, or sandy pup! Your dog would also NOT be left alone for more than up to five hours with water, treats, and chew toy! After that, they would get some extra attention and likely play outdoors along with a shower of kindness, smiles, handshakes, and, of course, belly rubs and treats. If misbehavior from your pet should occur, no inhumane discipline will take place. They will simply be startled by a loud sound to alert the pup to stop. Worst case scenario: if they bite or ruin any furniture, you may be held responsible for any damages, but you need not worry! Thanks for reading and also for any positivity sent my way. It helps me continue taking care of your pets, fur babies, best friends, and most loyal companions. I truly enjoy and appreciate the time taken to meet and to work with you and your pet(s). I am fully available to your companion. Be it for one hour or one day or even a week! The only obligations I have are, like most, family. I am also in the Army National Guard, which makes me unavailable at unexpected times on rare and seldom occasions. I have a tall, fenced-in yard with edible pet grass designed explicitly for your dog(s) to potty-train. On the extra hot days, a comfy off-ground cot with a cooling mat and shaded canopy is available, along with a small pool of water for your dog to enjoy while they are here with me. No burned paws or dehydrated pets allowed :-P I also have plenty of chew toys and energy to entertain your dog with fetch, tug a war, and lots of outdoor running. Lastly, I offer a bed in a comfortable kennel for dogs with no severe behavior issues such as yelping, whining, and barking, mostly puppy's still learning the basics such as potty training. Dogs will be separated and placed in a kennel during short, unsupervised moments, such as quick runs to the store or during feeding time.

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 6 years of hands-on pet care experience and two beloved cats of my own. I believe pets are family and I care for every animal as if they were mine. I’m an attentive and observant caregiver who notices the small things: a change in mood, habits, or energy levels. Your pet’s well-being is always my top priority. I’m intentional in everything I do, whether it’s keeping their space clean, ensuring they’re eating well, or spending time playing and bonding. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family, so I pride myself on being transparent, reliable, and trustworthy every step of the way. Let’s make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you're away! Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine because I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to be available throughout the day for walks, check-ins, playtime, and care. As long as I have at least 24 hours' notice, I can easily accommodate most requests. My partner and I are currently planning our wedding, and taking on pet care is not only a way to help support that goal but also something I truly enjoy. I love spending time with animals, and I treat every pet like I would my own with love, attention, and respect. I'm committed to being dependable, communicative, and making sure your pets are happy and safe while you're away. When caring for pets in a client's home, I always aim to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their own environment. I follow all care instructions closely, from feeding and medication to walks and playtime, and I am very mindful of each pet’s unique needs and personality. I keep their area clean, make sure they have fresh water, and spend quality time with them so they feel calm and cared for while you are away. I also respect your home as if it were my own and will always communicate clearly about how your pet is doing. My goal is to provide the same level of care and attention I give my own pets.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a little girl. I have trained a lot of puppies in my lifetime. I also have taken care of senior dogs, which I personally think are the cutest. I am extremely passionate about dogs. Im currently working part time at the moment so I have plenty of time to take care of pets. My schedule is very flexible as well. I take my dog out for walks at least three times a day. Both of my pets are free to roam the house freely. When pet sitting, the pets would also be free to roam the house, taking the dogs out when they need a little potty break. Constantly making sure they’re comfortable, having their play time, and well fed.

Alanis is so wonderful. She walks our energetic golden retriever on occasions and our pup cannot wait to see her! She is very communicative and details our pup’s behavior and any concerns, etc. she may have. We feel so comfortable knowing we have her coming over to help out. She provides sweet love and care to our girl and we will continue to request Alanis’s help as often as we are able to!

Janet was absolutely amazing while we were away for a week! She was always reliable and on time, making sure our dog Soul got plenty of exercise and that Soul, along with our two cats Pickle and Michael, received all the love and attention they needed. She sent daily updates and photos, which gave us total peace of mind. It's clear she truly cares about the pets she looks after. We’re so grateful to have found her—Janet is definitely part of our pet care team from now on! Woof woof, meow 💜

About: I have extensive, hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals, ranging from household pets to farm and ranch animals. I grew up on a 7-acre property where I was constantly surrounded by animals, which gave me a strong foundation in animal care, behavior, and responsibility. I also spent time as a competitive horseback rider, which provided additional experience working closely with horses and other large animals. Alongside farm experience, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds, as well as cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, and other small animals. I currently have two large senior dogs—a Boxer and a Shepherd/Husky mix—who I’ve raised since they were puppies, giving me experience with everything from early training to senior care. I’m familiar with the unique care needs of smaller animals as well. I also have a two-year-old daughter who is very gentle and animal-loving, and she enjoys being around and helping with daily pet care and walks when appropriate. Because she will often be with me, I kindly ask that you let me know if your pets are comfortable around children so I can ensure a safe and positive experience for everyone involved. My goal is always to provide safe, loving, and reliable care so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away, knowing your pets are treated like family. My schedule is flexible since I am a stay-at-home mom caring for my two-year-old daughter. This allows me to provide consistent attention and care throughout the day, with availability for morning, afternoon, and some evening visits depending on your pet’s needs. Because I am home most of the time, I am able to adjust my routine to accommodate feeding schedules, walks, check-ins, and any special care instructions your pet may have. I prioritize reliability and communication, so you’ll always know when I’m arriving and how your pet is doing. While I do have my daughter with me, I am intentional about only accepting bookings where I can ensure a safe, calm, and positive experience for both your pet and your home. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my top priorities are safety, trust, and creating a calm, comfortable environment. I make sure each pet’s routine is followed as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, litter box care, and any special instructions. I take time to understand each animal’s personality and needs so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free for them. In client homes, I treat the space with the same respect I would my own—keeping everything clean, secure, and exactly as I found it. I am reliable, communicative, and always mindful of both the pet’s comfort and the owner’s peace of mind. In my own home, pets are cared for in a structured, calm environment alongside my two senior dogs. I maintain a clean and organized space where animals can feel safe and relaxed. My goal is to build trust with both pets and their owners by providing consistent, attentive, and compassionate care every time.

About: I've always had pets ever since I was very little, I adore all pets. I have had many, and currently have kitties and a puppy! I know a lot on how to care for them, and love playing with them to keep them happy and stimulated. I currently spend most of my time at home with my own pets, I occasionally babysit family as well. I love spending time outside, and hiking with my pets too! When I do in home care or check-ups I always want to make sure the pet is well taken care for so I always check their water, food, and let them go potty if it's a dog. I play with each pet to make them happy and have a fun activity, also walks are great. I can walk for miles if you have a dog that loves or needs a long walk, I'm all about keeping your pet happy and healthy!

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I learned how to wash dishes! I’ve walked dogs and puppies from 10lbs to larger dogs of 120lbs + When I spend time with animals, even in short amounts of times, special bonds are formed. Both parties just have a blast to be honest. I’ve wanted to be a Veterinarian my whole life but as things have changed this is the closest thing to it. I hope you’ll choose me as your trusted sitter! I’m currently in the military Active Duty Shore. I do drop in visits around lunch time, and I’m up early in the morning for early morning walks and feedings before work starts on weekdays. After 4pm we play, go for walks, eat and play again. On weekends I’m available whenever. Sundays mornings are exceptions, being that I attend church. I only take care of crate trained animals in my home. Animals who are potty trained, and nothing bigger than 25lbs. I do live in a gated community with plenty of room to walk and run around outdoors. I also have a spacious living room and dining room area with no furniture. Spacious for small animals, their crates, and their zoomies! I do not have any pets or children. When it comes to clients homes, I clean when needed. And I stick to whatever schedule I’ve been given.

Reyna was great with my dogs! She arrived on time, was very friendly, and handled both of them really well. She definitely knew what she was doing and made sure they got all their energy out during the walk. I felt comfortable leaving my dogs in her care and would absolutely book with her again.
