About: With over 18 years of experience living and working with dogs of all sizes, I have developed a deep understanding and passion for canine behavior, particularly with Bully breeds. My experience extends beyond typical pet care; for four years, I had the privilege of working with a no-kill shelter, where I honed my skills in training, redirecting aggression, and managing over-stimulation. I specialize in rebuilding trust with dogs who have had rough beginnings, carefully helping them heal and adjust so they can thrive in a new home. Whether it's gentle guidance or firm redirection, my goal is always to create a calm, loving environment where dogs can feel safe and be successfully integrated for rehoming. I work part time which leaves me free most days to play with or train with my furry friends. Days of the week may change during to a fluctuating work schedule but there is always 1-2 weeks notice if I am available or not. At this time I am just available to come to your home, or local outings. I do have a crate and a mid-sized vehicle, if needed I can transport or go on field trips to the dog park or river.

About: I am an animal lover and have been around animals for as long as I can remember. I have worked with multiple dog breeds, from the giant breeds, to the smallest breeds. I have cared for senior dogs and cats, as well as young puppies and kittens. I also have experience in caring for some farm animals, as well as smaller pets such as rabbits, birds, and some reptiles. My goal is to make sure your pet is well taken care of and has a fantastic time while in my care! I have a flexible schedule so just communicate with me and I would be happy to workout a schedule that works for the both of us! I take detailed instructions for every pet I care for. I am very detail oriented, the more information I have, the better I can ensure the safety for your pet❤️ I am a fur mom! So I understand how hard it can be to find someone you can trust with your babies. My goal is to make sure your pet is comfortable, happy, and healthy while in my care.

“I’m so happy for my dogs! Jessica is exactly what we needed, she is clearly skilled with dogs and manages all 3 of mine with no trouble. They love her!”


“Sonya does an excellent job! Not only is she great with my crazy pup, her background in animal nutrition has been an invaluable resource as I am working to improve my dogs diet. I appreciate her availability and wonderful care!”

About: I worked for a professional pet sitting company in Los Angeles, Sitter4Paws, for about a year, where I cared for over 150 clients including both dogs and cats. Through that experience, I learned how to administer medications, handle grooming needs, follow detailed feeding instructions, clean litter boxes thoroughly, and manage behavioral issues like anxiety or aggression. I’m confident with handling pets with a wide range of personalities and needs. Aside from my professional experience, I have spent most of my life caring, raising, and training animals. Throughout the years, I have had 7 dogs, 2 cats, 6 rabbits, 2 guinea pigs, and even a mouse. I currently have 4 dogs and 1 guinea pig, so pet care is truly a part of my daily life. My lifelong connection to animals, combined with my hands-on training and experience, allows me to give pets not only proper care, but also the patience and understanding they deserve. My goal is to make every animal I care for feel safe, happy, and truly loved. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine! I’m available anytime, any day, for however long you need! I have a completely flexible schedule with no restrictions, and I’m happy to come to you wherever you are. I’m committed to making things as easy and stress free as possible for both you and your pet. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or my client’s, their safety, comfort, and happiness always come first. I create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where they can feel secure and relaxed. I closely follow any routines or instructions provided, including feeding, walks, medication, and training. I always keep a close eye on behavior, energy levels, and any signs of discomfort. Building trust with both pets and their owners is important to me, so I provide regular updates and treat every animal like they’re my own. I’m also fully flexible on timing and location, so I can adjust to whatever works best for you and your pet

About: Been a current proud owner of nine goats, four cats and two dogs. I've had experience in the veterinary field, worked with care for livestock and house pets. I am currently available to provide 24/7 pet care, but looking for part-time jobs that will still give me plenty of time to give lots of attention to your pet. Before I relocated, we did lots of walks around our neighborhood with our young shepherd mix and five year old cockapoo. They are always presented many occasions to use the bathroom and spend time outside with us.

About: I’ve taken very good care of my family dogs and cats for about 12 years. My family dog, Coco, is 16yrs old and so he has to have a lot of care, which I’ve been helping out with a lot!

About: I have been an animal lover my entire life. I am 52 years old and began walking my neighbors' dogs and housesitting for friends. When I lost my soulmate Layla after 14 years, I found a big void in my life. Being around animal energy is so fulfilling for me. This is when I decided to offer my love to others fur babies. I feel an immediate connection when meeting my new friends, I look forward to meeting your loved ones! I recently moved to Lake Wildwood from Martinez where I had built up quite a clientele. I work remotely which gives me ample flexibility for play time, potty breaks, cuddles and exercise. I love having company when working.

I work in the Fitness Industry so your pup is in good hands whether they need a short stroll or a long hike!

“Jessica and her two sons were like family to my Buddy. Would highly recommend!”


About: I grew up with dogs, cats, and bunnies. I have worked at two animal shelters caring for all kinds of dogs with many different temperaments. I have a wonderful 8 year old dog that I got as a puppy. I took him to training classes and socialized him so I have a lot of experience in this realm. I understand how important it is to provide a safe, loving environment for the animals in our lives. I'm currently in grad school at UVa and have more flexibility right now. I can be over early and stay late depending on your proximity. I am currently only accepting requests in the pets own home, so I trust the pet owners to provide me with the information I need to make sure your pet is safe and happy at home. Do they have special toys they like to play with? Treat and trick time? A special walk route? You let me know what makes your dog happiest and I will stick to that!

About: I have taken care of various dogs through the years. All sizes and ages. Usually love to take them on long walks and hikes around my neighborhood. I’m available to walk in the morning and afternoon. I am also available to take in pets for an over weekend or in home care. I like to walk dogs as often as I can or on very long walks. I have a pretty spacious apartment so they can run around. I have a cat who is very friendly with other dogs.

“Could not be happier with Anjelica’s professionalism and her way with dogs. She is truly a gem and absolutely trustworthy.”



About: I work from home and absolutely love fluffy pets. Our dogs Babu and Chico would love to have some new friends who can play in the yard with them. I am responsible, don’t drink, and am very active so you can guarantee your pet is in good hands. I’ve owned dogs all my life and love having friendly pooches around to love on and care for. We live on a farm, our birds (chickens and ducks) are secured behind a 6 ft tall fence. I am available most days, can take your pooches on a hike too so they’re extra worn out for you, we have a creek I walk the boys to at least twice a day. If your pooch is in the smaller side, or just likes to be a lazy bones, that’s fine too. If you think this would be a good fit, I’d love to talk to you & meet your pooch! I work from home and am a homebody who likes to be active. Your pooch will have plenty of companionship in our home. I can either be found inside doing working from my laptop or out in my garden. We have a fenced yard that we keep our birds behind, other than that we have a wide open yard. I can keep your pooch on a leash or leader line when outside with them.

“Jessica is a very nurturing and caring animal-lover. As a caregiver, she is trustworthy, attentive and hard-working. Jessica is consistent and responsible with holding a schedule and meeting the needs of animals. She helped my partner and I out with caring for our dog when we went away for a few days last year.

She has a good knowledge and has experience with more extensive care of animals through her previous employment. She has come in a pinch to help me out when whelping puppies: monitoring fetal heart rates, clasping umbilical cords, and getting them nursing. She has also come and walked my dogs on various occasions when I was out-of-town. She is very reliable, responsible with a bonus of having a lot of experience with animals! A win-win!”

“Logan watched my 2 furbabies for a total of 10 nights. My Goldendoodle Annie absolutely loved the daily walks and Eddie my tuxedo kitty adored the attention.

“My family and I have been so grateful to have found Adrian. We have two senior pets, a 12-year-old chocolate lab and a 16-year-old indoor cat. Going out of town was not easy to do before meeting Adrian. Our senior pets have morning and evening feeding schedules that require more than scooping a cup of kibble. Adrian was prompt morning and night in our absence and treated them with love and care. We have always felt secure leaving knowing that she would care for them like they are her own. If you are looking for someone who is dependable and loving to care for your pets, she is fantastic.”

Could not recommend enough .”

There is no doubt in my mind that she will be my number one choice of dog sitter when I have a dog of my own. ”
