About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 17 years old. I would dog-sit for a fellow neighbor and grew to love their two dogs. I would also have family members asking if I could watch their dog while on vacation with boarding and dog walking. Now that I have a dog of my own, I want to treat any dogs I take care like I would expect mine to be taken care of. I currently have a part-time job so I am able to do walks at night or on Fridays and weekends. For boarding, I do have to be in-person four days a week so I will have someone available to walk as my dog also needs to be walked! I really enjoy going to walks and making sure that the pets I watch are taken care of so that once inside nap time is required :) Inside of my home, I have many toys for your fur baby to play with. My dog is also friendly and will be wanting to play with your dog! In your home, I typically look at the environment and remind myself that I am a guest at your house! I will ensure that everything is looked after.
“Catalina was amazing! My cat Louie really enjoyed her company. She was responsive and punctual with her visits. I felt very comfortable with our first meet & greet, her energy and love for animals radiates in the kind care she was able to provide for my old man. 100/10 would book again!”
About: I had my own dog for 10 years, so I understand the love and care they need every day. I also regularly dog-sit for my best friend’s two pups and have experience with larger breeds. Whether it’s playtime, long walks, or just providing comfort while you’re away, I treat every dog like my own. I work from home and don’t have any pets of my own right now, which gives me plenty of time and energy to care for yours. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’m happy to help give your dog the attention they deserve while you’re away or busy with your day.
About: Hi there! My name is Ed and I have been a dog dad for 15 plus yrs. My little guy Rolly loves his daily trips to the dog park or just walking around sniffing everything. As a full time walker/ sitter, pet care is a daily and non stop responsibility I enjoy providing for yourself and my own boy Rolly. Although I cannot provide boarding, I offer house sitting that will be packed with walks that will be varied to stimulate and offer diff experiences for your pup.
“Kelsy was great and went above & beyond what she needed to do! Everything was clean & tidy, and she even brought in my mail for me. It’s clear she knows how to take care of cats well because Pluto warmed up to her pretty quickly even though she’s quite shy and scared of strangers normally.”
“I had a wonderful experience with Alexis. Alexis is incredibly helpful, and my dog absolutely loved her. I felt at ease knowing my furry friend was in such caring hands. I highly recommend their services to fellow pet owners!”
About: I've owned 2 dogs and have experience taking care of dogs and kids for 25 years now. I spent most of my free time raising my 3 daughters who have now moved out. I enjoy spending time with dogs and taking care of them and have a lot of love to give. I am mostly working from home so I am available to stay with the dogs for most if not all day.
