About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 10 years and bring a calm, patient energy that animals naturally respond to. I’m comfortable with all ages and temperaments. From energetic puppies to sweet senior pets who need a little extra TLC. I’ve helped with crate training, leash manners, and administering medications, and I’m great at tuning into each pet’s unique personality and needs. What sets me apart is the way I connect with animals. I treat every pet like family and always take my time to build trust. Whether it's playtime, snuggles, or a quiet presence, I adapt to what your pet needs to feel safe and loved. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and make space in my schedule to give them the attention they deserve. I’m flexible during the week for drop-ins, walks, and overnight care, especially in the mornings, midday, and evenings. I plan my days around each pet’s needs and make sure I’m fully present during every visit. Whether it's a short walk or an overnight stay, your pet will always be my top priority. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. When caring for pets in your home, I respect your space and follow all instructions closely, from feeding routines to leash preferences and medication. I double-check doors, gates, and collars to ensure everything is secure during walks or visits. I also create a calm, loving environment so your pet feels safe and relaxed while you’re away. I’m attentive to their body language, needs, and routines, and I always send regular updates so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in great hands.

About: I could sure use a midday walk...and I know your dog would love one too! We can hang out and do it together! I take my dog for a walk everyday and I know how much he loves it. I am available to walk your furry baby during the week so you can be at ease at work knowing they are walked and fine! I am also available on weekends if you just need help getting them out for some extra exercise! I am discreet so I can easily pop into your place and scoop your furry baby and take them for a fun walk to break up their day.

About: I currently have 2 dogs - Morkies (Yorkies and Maltese mix). Pets have always been a part of my life. Family and friends tell me that I treat my dogs like they are people; I say that I just love them and they love me. You can be sure that I would love and care for your pets just as much. Please don't leave them home alone. Contact me and enjoy your time away from home - your pets will be in great hands with attentive care. My schedule is flexible which allows me the opportunity to be home during the day, and all nights. Please, no aggressive dogs. I will make sure that your dogs are comfortable and safe with me.

About: I love walking, snuggling and watching Dateline with furry friends. I am a teacher and a boy mom so I have patience galore. I’ve had puppies until they’ve become old guys so I have been through all the stages. I’m a substitute teacher so I have free time and free days. If I’m teaching, I’m available after 4 pm and usually on the weekends. I live in a quiet neighborhood with a big fenced grassy yard. We have sidewalks everywhere and I walk most days. My house and couch are dog friendly.

About: I grew up with Rottweilers and have always loved dogs of all breeds and sizes. My most recent pet was a sweet Shih Tzu who needed a little extra tender care, which taught me the importance of patience and gentle attention. Cuddling is truly my favorite part of pet care, and I will treat your furry family member with the same love, respect, and affection I’d give my own. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule—just me and my laptop! I can work on the go, which makes it easy to prioritize your pet’s needs. While I may have the occasional client call lasting up to an hour, the rest of my time is dedicated to giving your fur baby the love, attention, and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. In your home, I will carefully follow all rules, routines, and restrictions you provide to ensure consistency and peace of mind. In my own home, I’ve created a secure, pet-friendly environment—nothing is left out or easily accessible that pets can get into. I also have a spacious patio for supervised outdoor time, and the open layout of my apartment means your pet will always be within my line of sight.

About: I grew up helping my family take care of our dogs, horses, and cows. I love to make sure animals have everything they need! I have my own pup, therefore, I understand the love and level of care people have for their fur babies! I am a teacher out for the summer so I have extra time to take care of pets whose parents work during the summer still. I have a fenced in yard as well as a pond in my neighborhood where I take my pup for leashed walks. I would be able to crate your pup in my house if need be. I like to give as much time out of the kennel as possible in order for pups to play. I believe it’s important for dogs to expend mental and physical energy throughout the day. They are an important part of our families and should be treated as such.

About: My name is Maria and my pet's name is Tuxedo (a.k.a Tuxi). We adopted Tuxi back in 2022 from the Richardson Animal Shelter. We decided to make a long-term commitment with her, offering her a home, cuddles, and the opportunity to enjoy car rides as well. She is family! My experience taking care of her has included making sure she has all her vaccines, exercise, taking her to the vet whenever necessary, meal and potty schedules. I see her happy whenever we do outdoor activities, her face just rejoices! I am currently studying part-time; I have plenty of hours to take care of your pups! I can easily follow your instructions for meals, potty breaks, playtime, and naptime for your pup. I have a friendly pet who enjoys playing! My home has plenty of space to welcome your dog! I will make sure your dog is always on a leash while out for a walk, and make sure the outdoor temperature is optimal for the outdoor activity. Will be checking the weather forecast in advance to make sure it is safe, otherwise it will only be a 5-10 min walk.

About: I have years of experience taking care of dogs big and small, young and old. From puppies to Seniors and even special needs dogs and I love them all! I can spend all day and night with your furry friends most days, and the few days I can’t I can still spend all morning and the evenings playing with them! These days are Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I carefully read and follow the instructions left by the owners, treat the pups with the same patience and kindness I do my own dogs, and keep the dogs happy and playful. I fit what I do to the dogs age and care needs!

About: Your dog will love me! And I will make sure to get all their energy out! I truly enjoy animals and their owners. I have a nurturing and charismatic soul, meant for bringing good energy into people and their pets lives. Animals are a great way to build a long-lasting bond, and their happiness brings joy to our lives. My love for animals stems from my Dad, he fostered dogs throughout my childhood. He equipped me with the knowledge and passion for all the different types of pets. I have one dog in my house. If that is an issue, I can easily keep them separate. I currently work as a freelance graphic marketer, which allows me to be extremely flexible. I am a very talented artist, but I find more happiness in jobs working with people, dogs, children, and homes. • lots of pets • play time • verbal attention • Physical exercise like walking and running • lap time all dogs are different and need different types of attention. They are all unique! Just like their parents. My job is to find what is best for them and to ask their parents many questions.

You can't go wrong with Trevor!!”
