“Dominic was great with my pups, one of which is pathologically shy. A true dog whisperer. On time, personable, knowledgeable and professional and obviously someone who loves dogs and has their best interests at heart.”

About: I helped my parents take care of there friends dogs since I was 8 and they've taught me a lot. Also my mom worked at Petco and worked in animal care and she told me and taught me what she's learned from her experience at work with cats and other animals. I've been currently looking for a job and havent had any luck so I have a lot of free time on my hands weekdays and weekends!! When we went to go sit my parents friends dogs we would feed them every morning and evening and then let them run around in the backyard they had a doggie door in their bedroom so for the most part the dogs had access to the bathroom to go potty and come and go as they please. But when we hung out in the living room with them since there was no access to a doggy door we would let them out around 3-4 times per day we would also walk them in the morning and sunset and feed them either before or after there walk depending on their actions and vibes
About: I have over 10 years of pet and house sitting. I have the skills needed for basic care of your pet as well as senior pets and pets with special needs. I will be watering any plants, picking up mail, and light cleaning. I’m flexible with each client based on individual needs. I have a flexible schedule to ensure your pet/home is getting the care needed while you are away. My availability is open during this holiday season. I follow any directions provided to ensure your pet/home will be safe and trusted while in my care. The environment must be clean before services are provided.
About: I have had cats and dogs all my life and have worked as a trained cat socializer in local animal shelters. I feel every pet is unique and it's important to get to know them and help them feel safe when their parents aren't home. As a shelter volunteer, it was important for me to help cats get prepared for their new homes and be able to match the cat to the right adoption parent and environment. I am also a Reiki Master/Teacher/Healer and through energy healing, have helped many animals get well quickly. In fact, animals are among my favorite clients! My focus in being your pet sitter is to make you feel comfortable leaving your fur baby and knowing they will be well cared for by a dependable, responsible pet lover. I currently work part time with a flexible schedule. I can make myself available to match what schedule you are needing. I can do 1 or 2 visits a day or whenever you need me to be there. I will make sure your pet is a top priority. I have 4 year old cat and 2 year old cat that are indoor only. I would love to be able to have them roam outdoors, but that's not always a safe option. My space is clean, safe and comfortable for cats.
About: I’ve taken care dogs and cats since I was about 10, I’ve had beautiful experience with my own pets and helping sitter for relatives and friends pets as well. I currently have open flexible availability daily, I can adjust to your pet’s needed schedule as needed. I can give your pet the love and support needed daily. I have a fenced in backyard and live in safe neighborhood perfect for neighborhood walks. I also I have plenty of space in my home for crates if needed for your pet to sleep in.
About: I’ve handled pets of many kinds for the past 10 years, I currently work at a veterinary hospital with the experience and capability to know when there may be an emergency & when care is needed. I love all animals & I look forward to caring for your fur (if they have fur) babies ❤️ I work full time and usually have 3 days off at the end of my week (Thursday-Saturday) I do have availability daily after 6:30 pm. I am very vigilant and observant, I like to be aware of surroundings for your pets safety, I will also have a form signed for your pets well being in case of an emergency or any other urgent reasoning.
About: My name is Destiny and I grew up caring for large and small dogs and cats. I have hands-on experience raising puppies and kittens from birth through adulthood. As an adult, I continue to care for both cats and dogs, including adopted shelter cats and my own Labrador Retriever and Standard Poodle. Both of my dogs are neutered, gentle and affectionate. My Standard Poodle loves to run and play and can be wonderfully bouncy, but he's also surprisingly nurturing and likes to make sure everyone is okay. My Labrador is basically Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh—a lovely potato who is particularly drawn to wee, scrappy dogs. I actively study canine behavior and learning. I train and participate in dog sports including obedience, scent work/nose work, agility, Barn Hunt and NASDA. I'm comfortable observing canine body language, following established training and management routines, providing enrichment, and adapting my approach to the individual dog. Most importantly, I genuinely enjoy getting to know animals as individuals. I don't expect every dog or cat to immediately love me, and I don't force interaction. I believe comprehensive care starts with paying attention to what makes an animal feel safe, comfortable and understood. I work from home with a flexible schedule and control over my own hours, which gives me plenty of time to incorporate walks, play, enrichment, meals, potty breaks and companionship throughout the day. Our household is unusually quiet and relaxed. There are no children in the home, and my neighborhood is a peaceful residential area that's well suited to walks and downtime. Pets staying with me have opportunities for activity and engagement, but also plenty of time and space to settle, nap and simply relax. Because I'm home much of the day, pet care fits naturally into my routine rather than having to be squeezed in around a long commute or rigid work schedule. I believe pet care starts with understanding the *individual* animal. I take time to learn each pet's normal routine, temperament, preferences, training cues, feeding needs and anything that may make them uncomfortable or stressed. My approach is calm, patient and attentive. I don't force interactions, and I pay close attention to body language and changes in behavior. I follow owners' established routines and management instructions carefully because consistency can make being away from home much easier for a pet. My home is clean, quiet, child-free and low-stress, in a peaceful residential neighborhood. I want visiting pets to have a comfortable place where they can play and engage when they want to, but can also settle and rest without constant activity, noise or disruption. When caring for pets in their own homes, I bring the same approach: respect the animal's familiar environment, follow the household's routines carefully, communicate reliably with the owner, and leave things exactly as I found them.
About: I'm a very responsible and fun loving dog mom to my own senior Maltese. Other owners say bringing their dogs to stay with me is like going to Club Med. Looking to spend quality time with my senior dog and other babies as much as I am able to. I would care for your dogs as much as I care for my own. I have a fenced yard and parks in the area. This is a very dog friendly community. Regular potty breaks and walks are the norm for my house.
About: I have years of animal shelter experience, so I have been trained to interact with animals of all sorts of temperaments. I've been an animal love my whole life and am usually the first person my friends think to call when they go out of town to care for their furry children (: I've had at least 1 dog in my life from the time I was 8- so my daily routine has always consisted of including a little pal to care for and spend quality time with. I treat any animal under my care the way they should be treated- like a family member who requires belly rubs, treats, and high pitched conversation as if their life depends on it (; In all seriousness I treat all animals with all the TLC they deserve.

About: Raised in an animal-filled home and currently caring for my own household of four dogs, four cats, and over 20 reptiles, providing attentive, specialized pet care is second nature to me. My extensive hands-on experience spans multi-pet management, exotic habitat care, and handling medically complex needs, including precise oral medications, strict routines, and tailored support for senior or anxious pets.

Friends frequently entrust me with keys to their homes for pet sitting because they know I prioritize safety, security, and cleanliness above all else.
