It’s been an absolutely wonderful experience working with Jacqueline. She has been reliable, caring and has great communication. She even washed the doggy dishes I left in the sink and remembers to always give them water before leaving. 10 out 10 recommend!

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities for a little over 10 years. Since I was a young girl, I’ve worked alongside a dog rescue, gaining experience with everything from shy, nervous pups to high-energy dogs. Over the last three years, I’ve worked at a dog daycare/boarding facility, supervising group play, supporting mild special needs (anxiety, seniors, oral meds), and ensuring each dog’s safety and happiness. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and love their pets as if they were my own. With two rescue dogs at home, I understand the importance of patience, attentiveness, and making every pet feel safe, loved, and cared for whether they’re a playful puppy or a sweet senior! While my main focus is on dogs, I’ve also cared for friendly, socialized cats in the past and am comfortable providing care for them under the right circumstances. I’ve recently finished school and am now looking for new opportunities. This gives me plenty of time to care for your pets! I’m available for drop-ins and walks throughout the week, including late mornings, afternoons, and evenings. My flexible schedule means I can easily fit into your pet’s daily routine, providing walks and drop-in care whenever they need a little extra attention or company! I have years of hands-on experience with dogs of all temperaments, from shy rescues to playful pups. I can provide a safe, loving environment during visits or walks, and I’m comfortable managing special diets, administering medication, or crating your dog if needed. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities, and I’ll keep you updated with plenty of pictures and messages!

About: Loyalty, trust, safety & the love for all types of animals are the key to a working pet environment. I fondly believe that a pet isn’t just a pet, but a part of the family. Luckily, I have been around dogs all my life and have been responsible for them for about 22 years. I have experience walking, sitting, along with some training. Walks with me aren’t just about potty breaks. It’s your pup’s time to get out & live life...just like us! It’s the time to work out all that built up energy and a time to be social. Belly rubs included! I currently work as a freelance hair colorist. My schedule is very flexible. I can offer drop in visits, walks, and extended stays whenever needed. My schedule is flexible, so 1 can easily fit walks, visits, or boarding into my day. I adjust to your dog's routine, making sure their normal timing, habits, and comfort stay in place. Your dog will have a safe, private environment with no unfamiliar dogs. I only board multiple dogs if they’re from the same family, so your pet’s space stays calm, consistent, and low-stress. My home stays clean, comfortable, and focused on your dog’s routine without the chaos of large group boarding.

Mariah is very sweet with our Aussie, Odin. He tends to be a bit reactive and doesn’t warm up to others as much. However with Mariah, our dog seemed to warm up very well and really has taken to her. You can tell that she knows what she’s doing, as a matter of fact Odin, runs out to her each time she comes to take him for their weekly walk. We’re very happy & thankful for Mariah.

Leah was very pleasant, reliable, and professional. She was able to accommodate our travel schedule and took good care of our little pooch. We were worried about going away for our weekend trip, but I felt very confident that our dog, Gabi, was in good hands. She updated us with photos and a report card of Gabi. I would definitely use Leah’s services again and highly recommend her!

About: I’ve taken care of my own and other friends’ pets for several years. I take the time to get to know the pets I work with including what is healthy/enjoyable for them to eat and what activities they enjoy (ex: walks or play with pets). I’ve especially had practice with caring for energetic pets/ puppies. I work part-time as a medical assistant at a derm office, where I work 2-3 days a week. I have a flexible schedule if informed in advance. In caring for pets, I ensure that pets feel both love and comfortable in the environment that they are in whether that be by providing entertainment, lots of love, and a consistent routine. I always follow the rules and routines set forth by pets owners as they are the ones that know their pets the best and what will make their pet happy.

About: Hi! I’m Janise. Traveling can bring out the best and the worst in anyone and I’m here to make that trip, whether it’s a quick getaway or a long haul, as easy as possible. Let me lend a hand! 🤚🏾 Between me, my husband, our kids, and our own dog Frankie, your pet is walking into a full house of animal lovers. We have a large backyard where the dogs can run and play and we work together as a family to make sure your baby gets all the love and attention they deserve. Pet care fits in really well with our routine. I work, but I’m in and out of the house throughout the day, and so is my husband and teenage son, so there’s almost always someone around to walk, play with, and check on your pet. Weekends and holidays we’re all home, so your pet will get even more attention those days For boarding, your dog stays right in our home with the family they’ll have a dog to keep them company, a big backyard to run around in, and plenty of attention from all of us. They’re treated like part of the family, not just a guest. For walks, I keep things consistent with whatever routine your dog is used to same schedule, same pace, whatever works best for them. For pick up and drop off, I make sure the handoff is easy and stress free. I’ll communicate with you the whole time so you always know your pet is in good hands

Laura is quite possibly the greatest caretaker I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting! She goes above and beyond what was asked for, playing with my dog and waiting for him to eat, even for a simple 15 minute walk. She gives detailed updates on what he did outside and sends a bunch of photos. You will be incredibly comfortable with her taking care of your pup!

Here’s a grammatically correct and natural-sounding version: Wen is the best! I had an ankle injury and made a last-minute request for a walk, and she generously helped me. Noa also had some stomach discomfort, and she took great care of him. He really likes her and already misses her.

We can't say enough wonderful things about Sam. We'd give him a 10 if that was possible! He took such great care of our dog, Cooper. This is the first time in 6+ years, since we got Cooper, that we've ever been away from him overnight, let alone a weekend as we just were. Sam communicated after each visit and sent us pictures, as well. We highly recommend you book him for your dog-sitting needs
