âCarla and her partner took such great care of my pup! They walked her 3x/week for 3+ months. They even trained her and brought their pup to provide some playtime for my little girl. Always so communicative and helpful, Iâm grateful I found them! Thank you for all of your help! Definitely will be reaching back out. âşď¸â

âCristina has been an amazing sitter for Khai! Her care for animals, flexibility with my schedule, and overall kindness are incredible. I would recommend her to anyone who has a pet that needs walks or drop ins.â

âEmily was absolutely incredible. She was able to accommodate Malbec and I last minute. She was very nice and professional and my favorite was the fact that she kept updating me and sending pics. My boy was very happy and was so well taken care of. She went above and beyond making sure he had all he need at home before she left. I definitely recommend her to take care of any of your fur guys. Will definitely be using her again.â

Iâm experienced with dogs of all breeds and sizes and have earned 300+ five-star reviews on a competing app. I canât wait to meet your best friend! My weekday schedule is a consistent 8â5, and I live just 20 minutes from work, making midday check-ins and lunch visits easy. My afternoons are fully dedicated to pet care. Weekends are always open, giving me plenty of time to spoil your pets. I tailor care to each petâs energy levelâwhether they enjoy outdoor adventures or relaxing at home. Car rides, pup cups, and dog park visits are offered only with owner approval and based on each petâs comfort, safety, and temperament. I prioritize a safe, calm, and controlled environment at all times. Pets in my care stay indoors inside my home and are never left unsupervised. I use in-home cameras to monitor pets while Iâm away at work and check in throughout the day. I have two dogs of my own with a separate backyard setup, and client pets remain fully separated for safety, using the front yard for potty breaks and playtime. I use playpens for pets who do better in a contained space rather than traditional crates. I also provide regular photo and update messages so you can feel confident and connected while your pet is in my care.
About: Iâve cared for dogs of all breeds and ages over the yearsâfrom helping pups transition off their motherâs milk to supporting senior dogs through their final vet visits. Iâve experienced many different situations with dogs, each one teaching me something new. No matter how much time Iâve spent with them, I always stay open to learning and growing alongside them. I currently work full-time with a school district, with hours until 6 PM Monday through Friday. During the school year, my weekends are fully open for pet care, and Iâll also be available on weekdays whenever we are on school breaks or vacations. I treat my cats and dog as if they were my own children, and I would extend that same love and care to your pets as well. From administering medication and accommodating picky eaters to playtime, fresh water, and all the details that go into attentive pet careâI handle it all with patience and dedication.
âValeria was super flexible with my schedule. She even helped me out with some funky requests. Thor was so happy and tired after his walks! I canât say enough for how great she was! 10/10 recommendâ

âWe needed someone to come walk/run with our young, high-energy labradoodle while Iâm recovering from an injury. She is used to going out everyday and gets crazy without proper exercise. Daniel has been a perfect fit for her. She gets so excited when she sees him approaching the front door and she returns happy and exhausted! I wonât hesitate to hire him for dog sitting when needed. I highly recommend Daniel!â

About: I am a professional dog trainer specializing in Service, therapy and emotional support dogs. I have 25+ years of experience and a true passion for the care and training of dogs. In order to provide the best experience for your pet we offer homestyle boarding, this means that we try to offer a boarding experience that feels like home. Does your pet sleep in your bed? If yes, they can sleep in a bed with us. Do you cook for your pets? If so, we will make sure to serve them the same meals they eat at home (you provide the food). We will offer a daily routine that is ideal for YOUR pet. Some dogs want to play, while some dogs what relax and nap on the couch.... no matter what their ideal day is we have it covered. I will gladly provide references from current and former clients as well as local rescues. I am a professional dog trainer with the appropriate set-up to do boarding right. Most of the time someone is home with the dogs, on the occasion when that is not possible all dogs are put in a private kennel in our living room. Dogs are only outside for scheduled playtimes when the weather is nice otherwise, they are inside our home. We have outdoor and indoor cameras where needed. Since dogs are in our living room or bedrooms we can always hear them and monitor them for distress. We care for your dogs just like they are our own. Safety and health are always a priority but the most important part of a good boarding experience is making sure that dogs feel as little stress as possible. My knowledge of canine body language and behavior enables me to make the necessary adjustments on a case-by-case basis because the is no single experience that works for every dog.

About: I used to work in the pet industry. Meeting new dogs was the best part of the job. I'm familiar with grooming services, dog trainers, and have relationships with many local vets. I can balance treating your pet like a member of the family, but still respect that they are an animal. I can be firm if needed or spoil them rotten with affection. I will adhere to strict diets and can offer nutritional advice if they are experiencing digestion issues. If they like to motor, I will take them for relaxing car rides. If you need a little help with some behavioral issues, I will also do my best to improve the bond between you and your pet. I happen to have a soft spot for the oldies but goodies.
