About: I’ve taken care of my friends and neighbors dogs and cats for many years. I am retired. Keeps me in shape physically. I love it ;) I am not working. I have lots of time since retirement. Love outdoors, spend lots of time walking, gardening love to walk with pets. They are fun of my life. I prefer to care for pets in my home. I have a large garden. Backyard has a gate. Very safe and lots of space for play.
“Eve is a delight! Friendly, easy to make arrangements with and quickly connected with our dog, Karragh. Karragh is recovering from surgery and can’t walk far, so Eve sat and read with her! So appreciative!!!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats and have been walking friends and family dogs since I was 10, this has been a part time job for me for 5 years now. I’ve experienced anything from small to large dogs, dogs that have experienced trauma and are scared of others, and giving pets medication. I am available to petsit anytime before 5pm. From Saturday to Thursday since I work part-time right now. Since it is the summer I’m free all day before 5pm! Through my years of pet sitting for friends, family, and acquaintances, it has been combined with tasks such as bringing in the mail, feeding pets that require less care like fish, and letting cleaners into the house as needed.
About: Hi! My first gift as a baby was a white german shepherd named Pepper that I grew up with and I've been a dog owner ever since. Friends even brought me a stray found on campus at GWU, Wiggles. He was our house mascot. And I've owned and cared for dogs ever since. I started rescuing dogs in 2010 in Oakland. I found forever homes for 13 dogs. Your dog will be safe, made comfortable and well cared for by me. I'm happy to care for senior dogs or puppies and anyone in between. I am attentive. Responsive to them and focused to obey your instructions concerning your fur baby. I want them to be happy while you're away and I want you to be comfortable while they're in my care. Most of all, if anything happens, I know how to respond quickly. My 12yo Weimaraner Gideon passed away during the pandemic. I've been fostering. This just seems like another way for me to play with and care for a new dog until I get another one. I look forward to meeting you and your pet. I'm a professional writer and program developer so my schedule is flexible which makes caring for your dog and its needs really easy. I am able to maintain whatever schedule you've established at home. Your pet will have full run of the house and will be encouraged to make themselves at home. Their crate and food/water will be set up in places where they can be seen and made comfortable.
About: Hi, I’m Christina! I started animal care when I was little and haven’t been able to stop! I believe that all pets are good pets! Whether it be a big ol’ Rottweiler, an itty bitty Chihuahua, a sassy kitty, a young pup, or an old soul, I love and respect them all. I love meeting new furry friends and making sure that each one knows how special they are. Every dog is different and should be cared for in their own way. Caring for animals is one of my favorite things & I can’t wait to make your fur baby feel cared for :) Things your furry friend will get to experience with me: -Walks that turn into runs -Fetch that turns into a tennis match -Belly rubs that turn into cuddles -Bath time that turns into a spa day Some people might say us spending time with animals helps the animals, but it is really the pets helping us.

“Shauna is great! She walks our (very energetic) dog weekly. She is responsive, flexible and always on time. Our dog (Kyla) is skid-dish with new people but she warmed up to Shauna very quickly and is always excited to see her. Kyla comes back from her walks happy and tired - well worth it!”

I highly recommend Michele as a loving pet caregiver.”

Melissa did a fantastic job with Camden and Piper during her first scheduled walk with them. Right from the start, she demonstrated great patience, taking the time to let the dogs warm up to her and allowing them to move at their own pace. This was a clear sign that she understands every dog has its own personality and comfort level. Camden and Piper responded very well, making their first meeting a positive experience. Her attention to detail really stood out. Melissa carefully listened to our instructions and advice on handling the dogs, ensuring that both Camden and Piper had what they needed before and after their outing. She was observant of their behavior and provided us with thorough updates afterward, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. It was clear that she was not just “getting the walk done,” but was fully tuned in to the little things that matter in caring for dogs. Finally, Melissa showed a genuinely caring attitude throughout her visit. She treated Camden and Piper as if they were her own pets, which truly made a difference. Both dogs returned home happy, content, and ready for a long nap, indicating that they felt comfortable and well-exercised. We couldn’t have asked for a better first impression, and we’re excited to have found another reliable and trustworthy caregiver to look after them.
Sophie has been absolutely amazing with my dog! My pup is pretty anxious around new people, but Sophie was so patient and gentle, and it’s clear she really understands animals. Thanks to her calm and consistent approach, my dog quickly warmed up to her and now gets so excited for their walks. Sophie is always on time, super reliable, and clearly loves both dogs and cats. I feel so lucky to have found her—highly recommend to anyone looking for a thoughtful, trustworthy, and genuinely caring sitter!
There is not enough that I can say about Annika! She is so responsive and so wonderful with Carter. He is 13 years old and every time I have to leave him, I have extreme anxiety but Annika is not only amazing with Carter, she is wonderful with me too! She takes lots of pictures, always stays to hang out with him after his walk and gives him treats. She is so easy to work with and I have so much peace of mind when I am away because I know that she takes such good care of him! Thank you Annika!!
Just wanted to do a new update on my review with Delaney. She has been walking my dogs for almost 3 years now. She is still wonderful with them, very dependable, and very trusted. I have been lucky to have her since I moved to Virginia from Florida and my dogs love her so much too!! It’s definitely hard to find someone to trust with my dogs and having access to my home even when I’m not around but she is definitely the best and most trustworthy person I have had!
Michele is fantastic! She took such great care of our Leo boy! She was great about sending updates, pictures and videos. Her communication was amazing. You can tell she truly loves what she does and cares for the animals. I highly recommend Michele and will be reaching out again when we need care.
Carole was great! Arrived on time, my dog was excited to see her and they had a good wander around the neighborhood. She took time with him during the meet and greet to get to know him as he can be anxious. All went well. Plan to book reoccurring walks with Carole!
