“Alexus is very professional, communicative, and accommodating. She has done a great job of caring for my senior pup with anxiety. Cannot recommend enough!”

“We were looking for a trustworthy, dependable walker for our rambunctious dog and Melissa fits the bill! She seems like a genuinely good person who our dog just adores. It's hard to let a stranger handle your beloved pets. Your friend is in good hands with Melissa! We'll continue to use her for daily walks.”
“Gavin was fabulous and took our two Siberian Huskies for two walks and fed them dinner before he left. My dogs were smiling up at him as he took their photo and I know that they were very happy with him. Thank you Gavin!!”

About: I’m a biggg animal lover, a vegan of 10 years, former animal shelter worker & doggy foster mom🤍 a few years ago, I rescued my dog, Blue. Working with trainers for my own dog has deepened my commitment to positive reinforcement and understanding each dog’s unique needs. I’m a full-time registered nurse, so I’m confident administering medications and managing special care routines. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes—from tiny companions to giant breeds—and I take the time to learn each dog’s quirks, preferences, and sensitivities to make sure they feel safe, happy, and understood. I live in an apartment with plenty of outdoor time, including long walks and play sessions, and I’m happy to help with feeding, training, and care. I currently only work 3 days a week, so I’m usually free the rest of my days off. I’m pretty flexible on scheduling things if you have any last minute needs. I work night shift, so if your dog is fine being left alone overnight let me know and I can board longer than my listed days! I have a pet cam to keep an eye on them overnight. Dog walking/drop-ins: I can come to your home, feed your pup breakfast/dinner, take them out for a quick potty break, play time, or go on a super long walk to tire them out! I’d love to know your dog’s routine, likes/dislikes, an level of energy! Doggy day care: Your dog can hang with me & mine for the day! Guaranteed fun times, cuddles, walks! I love making my space a welcoming & calm environment. I consider myself active, so if your dog is up for adventures/hikes, let me know! Your dog must be house trained & friendly with other dogs. Boarding: If your dog is being boarded with me, they’ll need to be friendly with other dogs, including my playful pup and occasionally my roommate’s small Shih Tzu-Yorkie mix. They also must be dropped off with a crate. I want to make sure they are safe & happy!
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. Growing up, pet sitting was actually my very first job, and it quickly became something I genuinely loved doing. Caring for animals has never felt like work to me—it's something I've always been naturally drawn to. During college, when I wasn't able to have a dog of my own, I volunteered with local foster organizations so I could continue spending time with and caring for dogs. That experience strengthened my understanding of different personalities, energy levels, and the patience each animal needs to feel comfortable and safe. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply needs a calm and dependable companion, I'm committed to providing loving, attentive care while you're away. I currently work part time so I have plenty of time to care for your animals! Weekends as needed as well so you can travel confidently knowing your furry friends are in good hands. I prioritize safety, consistency, and keeping pets comfortable in their own environment. I carefully follow routines, secure doors and leashes, provide lots of attention, and send regular updates so owners have peace of mind. I live in a home and have a fenced in yard with plenty of room for them to run around.
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my whole life—my dad, my grandparents, everyone in my family had them—so caring for pups is second nature to me. I have a great pyrenees of my own who brings endless joy to my days and loves making new friends. At my home, your dog will have plenty of fun and comfort. I offer a doggie pool for summer splashes, a ball launcher for endless fetch, and a variety of toys to keep tails wagging. If your pup needs a kennel when left alone, I have two here so you won’t need to bring your own. My home comfortably accommodates up to four dogs at a time, so your furry friend will have plenty of company without feeling crowded. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or a safe space to relax, I treat every dog like my own—because to me, they are family. I currently work from home! I have a big backyard and one friendly house dogs that are always looking for new friends ☺️ There’s also a doggy pool outside for them to cool down in the summer. The pets are allowed free range of the house (as long as they are house broken) and the backyard. I feed my dogs twice a day and give them dental sticks once daily, but will follow the feeding/grooming/walking routines your dog is used to.

“Our dogs were completely into Melissa the moment she arrived! She balances leadership and direction with kindness and joy. We are excited to welcome her into our pack!”

About: I had a lot of cats and dogs growing up, and I was the neighborhood dog sitter basically from the time I could ride a bike until I left for college. I know for many people today their pets are a furry part of the family, so I would treat them with the same love and care I give my cats and dobies, and make sure your animals are genuinely cared for while you are away. I know what it means to be a good and responsible sitter, and I can guarantee if you trust me with your pets you will not regret it! I'm offering drop-in sitting and dog walking, and I cannot wait to have the opportunity to meet your pets. I work full time, but am available outside of standard working hours to spend plenty of time with your pups! I have pets of my own so I know how important it is to spend time with them & make sure they are happy while you are away. When caring for pets, I always make sure to guarantee they have a comfortable and clean environment as well as plenty of play time (for their benefit & because I just love dogs!)
About: I have loves dogs for as long as I can remember. I have three dogs of my own, and have a lot of experience of dog breeding and taking care of their puppies who have all gone to nice homes. I love the animals with all my heart is my dream to become a vet ever, since I was little. I also have a bird who is living a long nice life, taking care of her has shown me how to stick to a schedule and to watch out for any hidden details, since birds hide their sickness well, because of that it has also helped me identify if anything is wrong with my dogs. We have Paisley (9), Olly or Oliver (6), and Pepper (3). They are all extremely kind and do great with other dogs. They are Cavalier, King Charles spaniels. Paisley has had 3 litters and Pepper 2. Because of their litters I have experience delivering the puppies and taking care of them until they go to their new home, if you want to see if this is true, you can go to my moms website “Turners Cavilers” on Facebook and you’ll be able to see the lil’ cuties! I am available any time of the day! My job just recently closed down and I’m a college student so I’ve been looking for jobs that could help my exercise and work from home so I will be able to do my assignments! But if anything came up I would be able to let you know immediately and work with you to see how we can still come to an agreement! How I care for my pets is we have a water bowl inside and out, we feed them at very specific times to avoid them gaining to much weight and take them on occasional walks, the backyard is fenced with green grass (besides a patch of dead grass where the dogs have made a path) there’s is plenty of shade in the backyard if your dog tends to get warm easily, but most of the time we keep our dogs inside and have a huge dog bed for all three of them. If your pet requires it we do have dog bowls and I can keep out for your pet. We also have crates if this is something that you want for your pet if I ever offer overnight stay. Our three dogs are extremely playful and friendly and enjoy meeting other dogs. We also have our own grooming station in our garage that we use for our own dogs.

About: I've been taking care of animals almost my whole life! I have experience with old dogs and anxious dogs, as well as cats! I love animals of all sizes and have all the time in the world to care for them. I do not currently have a job- I am a college student doing this over the summer. I can spend all day and potentially if needed all night with your animals! I do not have a car so I can't drive them places but I am happy to go for walks with them! I will spend all day with your animals! I'm good at keeping to schedules, but I might spoil your animals just a little. I'm good at cleaning up after animals and I have lots of patience for whatever quirks your pet has!
About: I have had pets of all breeds my whole life. My family has had dogs, cats, turtles, you name it! I love spending time with animals and will treat every pet as if they were my own. I currently work part-time as a freelance interpreter, so I make my own schedule and have plenty of down time. I’d love go start using some of that down time in way that will bring me joy and help out others. I have a large fenced yard, that has plenty of shade and room to run around. I don’t mind pets on my furniture but if wanted, I can crate your pets.
About: I have lifelong experience with animal companions, and many years of experience caring for other people’s furry friends! I have experience with special needs animal companions, high needs breeds such as Great Pyrenees and dachshunds, and multi pet households. I am in grad school and very flexible with my time! I am free weekends and all weekdays after 3 pm, as well as most of the day Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I believe that our animal companions experience the full spectrum of emotion and sensation, and I treat our animal friends with as much respect, care and compassion as I do our human ones.
“Opal and Andrew were amazing! Great communications (with me AND Poppy ?), on time, very patient with an over eager pup... We plan to be repeat business right away!”

“Travis was great with my 2 year old German Shepherd Chico. I was a little nervous since it was literally Chicos first real walk in a very long time. He warmed up to Travis immediately and Travis was great with him. Chico is not easy to walk and he is very strong but everything went well. Chico loved it and actually wanted to go for more. I won't hesitate to book Travis again for all of Chicos walks and also for dog sitting while I'm away. Thanks again Travis for making Chicos day!!!”

Immediately on the meet & greet, our dog loved Benjamin! Since then, we’ve had Benjamin walk our puppy three separate weekends, and every time he shows up exactly when he’s scheduled and follows our instructions exactly. Even better, Benjamin takes VERY good pictures, and we love getting to show those off to whoever we’re with at the time.
