About: I grew up in a dog-loving family and had two small dogs as a child. After moving to the U.S. for school, settling down, and getting married, I welcomed my own puppy — a 3-month-old named Chikapu. Through caring for him, I’ve learned so much more about dogs, from training little tricks to developing patience and communication. I’d love the chance to connect with other dogs and keep growing through every furry friendship! I work part-time and am home from Tuesday to Thursday, so I’m available to board dogs during those days. On weekends, we often take our own pup out for fun adventures, and with advance notice, I’m also happy to offer weekend boarding. We live in a quiet, dog-friendly community with plenty of green space, and I take daily walks with our dog twice a day — at least 30 minutes each time. I love including dogs in our routine and making sure they feel safe, active, and loved while they’re with us! At home, dogs are free to roam and relax in a safe, clean, and pet-friendly space. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and love throughout the day. We play games together to keep them mentally and physically engaged, and I also take them out for regular walks to explore and stretch their legs. I treat every dog like my own and make sure they feel comfortable, secure, and happy while in my care.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since the age of 5, was able to get a chance to adopt my own dog after I got married. I’m in absolute awe of them each and every day I’m currently in between jobs so can take care of fur babies full time, I love to feed them and take them out on walks. Play with them I have an uber friendly and cute dog to keep your dog company. He has been the friendliest around kids and dogs in general. Super affectionate

About: My dog passed last April and I’m not quite ready to get another dog just yet. I’m ready to hang out with your dog, talk them on walks, throw the ball for them, and generally keep them happy while you’re busy! I’m a teacher, but I’m often home on Friday afternoons and weekends. I’m happy to discuss specific schedules with you. Reach out and let’s make it work. I live in a 1,600 square foot townhouse with access to a dog park, open grassy area, and a quiet neighborhood for nice long walks.

About: I have had dogs and cats in my family home since I was a child. My mom and I provided fostering services and we took care of any needs the pets had. We had to deal with many emergency situations and we got very familiar with animals and what they need. I have also volunteered at the Humane Society and helped in any way that I could. I give my 100% to animals because they don't have a voice and they all deserve the best care! I treat the animals like I would like to be treated myself. I will always make sure to check on their needs and be very proactive. I have a dog friendly apartment community that is perfect for dog walking as well. I also have watched a lot of senior dogs, and I’m very familiar with giving them their medication and taking extra good care of them. I work from home full-time, so I am able to give your dogs the attention they need and take them out however often you would like. I am very good with animals and understanding what they need. I am extremely attentive and over protective and I am always monitoring my pets and others pets at all times. I just want to make sure they are happy and comfortable at all times. I truly believe in making the owner, feel confident and comfortable that they can enjoy their time away by knowing that their baby will have the best care.

“Kathy is amazing! She takes care of our precious cat for a month, she gave to him medication and we come back that is looks great! All was perfect when we come back! Thank you Kathy ??”

About: I have been a veterinary technician since 2015. I always knew working with animals was always my passion. Prior to being a vet tech I was a dog trainer at Petco for 1.5 years. My expertise and knowledge in this industry is of no doubt. I currently work in an animal clinic close to home which is so convenient. I’m an active young mother so I enjoy outside time as well and love going on walks. I’m capable to administer subcutaneous fluids and medications of any sort if needed. My husband works from home so someone will be home all day with your fur baby! We go on 2 long walks daily along with 2 extra bathroom breaks in between I currently do not have pets of my own, but I treat them all as if they were. The love, care, and attentiveness I carry within myself will show through your pet’s happiness and well being.

About: I’ve been passionate about animals for as long as I can remember. I got my first dog back in high school, and that’s when my love for caring for pets truly began. In college, I started volunteering at local animal shelter, where I gained hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Today, I share my home with a sweet and playful German Shepherd mix who loves making new friends. With years of personal and volunteer experience, I understand the importance of patience, trust, and consistent care. Whether your pup needs a cozy stay, a walk full of sniffs, or just some loving company while you're away, I’m here to help! My schedule is very flexible, and I’m happy to accommodate you and your pet’s needs! I'm available for drop-in visits, or you’re welcome to bring your pet to my home. I can also offer pick-up if needed! I have a spacious backyard where pets can run around and play with my 6-year-old German Shepherd. He’s very friendly and gets along well with dogs of all sizes. I also take him on walks three times a day, so your pup will get plenty of exercise and companionship!

“This review is long overdue! Ji Sook has been dropping in to take care of Harley whenever I have to commute to the office for work. She’s a phenomenal dog sitter with fantastic attention to detail. I particularly appreciate how patient she is with my overly excitable dog. I always get a detailed Rover card with lots of cute photos after each visit. I highly recommend Ji Sook if you’re looking for a reliable sitter to check in, walk, and keep your pet company!”

About: I’ve always had a deep passion for rescuing and caring for animals. I’ve independently rescued and fostered 3 cats and a dog, and I'm also a dog mom to my fur baby, Peanut! Growing up with dogs my whole life taught me how to understand and care for pets of all ages and personalities. I’ve also pet-sat for friends’ dogs and cats, and I treat every pet like they’re my own… with love, patience, and attention to detail. Whether your pet needs belly rubs, playtime, working on potty training, learning new tricks or gentle senior care, I’m here to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. I am a new graduate registered nurse and currently working per diem so my schedule is based on clinic need and based on my personal availability. Therefore, I’m fairly flexible and I will build my schedule around making sure pets are safe, happy, and well cared for. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, or overnight stays, I’m committed to giving your pet the attention they need. In my home, I have a medium sized goldendoodle who loves to play and meet new friends! If your pet does not get along with other animals, I can come to you and do drop in visits, walks, etc. If there is a specific schedule to be followed, I will always make sure to follow that as close as possible and also give regular updates with photos and notes so you can feel at ease while you’re away. My goal is always to treat your pet like family and ensure they feel secure and happy until you’re back. I believe communication is key :-)

About: I’ve had animals my whole life, typically cats and dogs. I love animals and will adore your fur baby as my own ♥️🐈‍⬛🦮. I understand leaving your loved one with a stranger can be hard, so communication is important to me and I’ll update you often with photos as well. I can be flexible with my schedule and will work with you. Message me if you have any questions. I currently am taking some time off work so I have plenty of time on my hands to care for your babies. My kids and I love going for walks and we’d love the company! I can definitely do walks, drop in visits and pet sitting in your home, I can be open for boarding as long as your pup will be fine with my two cats 😊 If I’m pet sitting in your home then I will follow the rules of your home. In my home we definitely allow our cats and dogs to sleep on the bed with us with plenty of cuddles. It will be important to know what you’re comfortable with and what your fur baby is comfortable with and I can adapt to that.
