About: As a maltipoo owner for 4 years, I know firsthand what small and doodle breeds need. They need gentle handling, regular grooming upkeep, and lots of love. I understand separation anxiety, picky eating habits, and the importance of keeping routines consistent. Your dog won’t just be watched, they’ll be spoiled. I’m attentive, reliable, and treat every pet like part of my family. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine as a dog owner myself. I’m available most days and can accommodate last-minute requests. I’m flexible with drop-offs and pickups, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout the day. Your dog will be in a safe, pet-proofed home with a maltipoo who loves making new friends. I’m experienced with small breeds and know how to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I follow feeding schedules, leash all dogs on walks, and send regular photo updates so you always know your pup is happy.
“Johana is awesome! She took such great care of our dog, and she was professional and a great communicator. We would be happy to book her again, would recommend!”

“Maria was amazing to my baby Zuri. Before actually walking my dog, she came to do a meet and greet with her and my dog loved her so I knew it would be a good fit. Today she picked up Zuri and she fed her for me gave her some water and spent a lot of time with her outside playing with her and she even gave her a toy and trimmed some hair on her face for me. I really appreciate the effort that she put into care for my dog, especially because I work long hours so it’s really important to me that I have someone that can support me in raising my puppy. I will definitely be sticking with Maria from now on.”

About: I've had cats and dogs ever since I've been alive. I have been pet sitting and dog walking for family, friends and neighbors for 20+ years. I am currently available Monday, Wednesday and Thursday during the daytime. I look forward to getting acquainted with you and your furry companion(s) and loving them as you do. I will care for your fur baby in your home and on the streets, sidewalks and areas that you feel are safest for your pet in your neighborhood.

About: I have had dogs my whole life, all shapes and sizes! I fostered cats and kittens during college and have a love for all furry critters. I currently have three fur babies of my own, all with unique needs. I work in the healthcare industry and am well versed in medical conditions both human and animal alike. My summer work schedule is super light and only varies slightly. If I work, it is for 1-2 hours so afternoons (after 1pm) and mornings (before 9am) are wide open. It’s best to always respect any animal in its home. Every animal/pet has their boundaries and I am a firm believer in respecting them. Your pets care is my number one priority and that starts with ensuring their comfort.
“Erin was such a great help when I needed the last minute sitter. She was very diligent about her care, and I knew that my baby was well taken care of with her.”

About: I love all pets and have had two dogs of my own. My first was a terrier mix and my current is a staffie, so I am well accustomed to larger dogs. Additionally, I have been trusted in multiple instances to take care of other people’s pets ranging from bully breeds to pugs. I would love the opportunity to make sure your pet is well taken care of and loved when you need it! Throughout my life I’ve been surrounded by various types of dogs, ranging from chihuahuas to pits, big energy to small, and puppy to senior! This has given me the knowledge and experience to provide adequate care for your pup no matter where they are in their life or how special their personality is! My favorite part about dogs is how expressive they are! They love showing love and really are a great best friend! Currently, I am a teacher and am on summer break, so my avilability is very open. I care for your pets as if they are my own! I prioritize meeting their needs and wants, and making your fur baby feel safe and loved. I follow their food, medication, and potty break routines closely! I will send check-in photos and texts during my visits. I am very reliable when it comes to the safety and well-being of your pet. They will always be fed and/or walked on time, or whatever else they may need. I have a large dog and she can play a little roughly sometimes, so that isn’t a problem if yours is the same. I can guarantee that they will feel loved and cared for under my supervision.
About: I have watched dogs for the last seven years. I have whelped multiple litters from my own dog and helped other people, I find happiness spending time with animals and making sure they are healthy and happy too. I am currently working from home and have lots of time on my hands. I am looking for some cute pets to occupy my time:) We will go for walks and play together. I will be sending you pictures and updates. I have a big fenced in yard, but if your dog prefers to stay inside, then my home is their home too.
About: I'm great with all types of dogs and have experience with senior and/or special needs doggos - can help with medication administering (time sensitive meds, doggy diapers, etc.). Depending on dog/age/stubborn-ness, I can attempt to teach some fun tricks! I'll always make sure to treat your baby like they are mine and make sure they aren't too sad while you're away! All doggos in my pics are not technically mine, but I love them like they are! I love taking pics of doggos, and I'll always make sure to snap a few to send to you randomly throughout the day :) I work full time, but my job is remote/WFH, so I'll be spending a lot of time with your pup! I don't mind/enjoy long walks, so if your doggo needs to let out more energy, I can happily oblige. I'm happy to have your doggo stay with me (I live in a dog friendly apartment) or pet/house sit! I have experience with both kinds of dogsitting, so I'm flexible. For doggos staying with me, the complex is very walkable and there are few walk friendly trails nearby as well. Potty breaks are easy since there's easily accessible grassy areas. Also, unless requested not to, doggo(s) will sleep with me on my bed, because snuggling with pups is one of my favorite past times :) I don't have my own dog (maybe one day!), but I love dogs (I am the designated dog sitter for my family and friends)!

Britney was absolutely incredible to my girl! She truly has a gift. My sweet baby is my emotional support animal and have separation anxiety when we’re not together. Britney changed that around and had outstanding communication and love for my girl while I was away for a trip. Thank you Britney and will be booking again!
Molly was wonderful. She provided dog walking services for one of my dogs for 5 evenings. She always arrived right on time. She took the time to read my dog’s profile to familiarize herself with his idiosyncrasies. Although somewhat unusual, she allowed me to walk my other dog with her. She was very gentle and kind with my dogs and helped me immensely. I would absolutely book her again for this service.
