About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, medication, or keeping a routine, I provide dependable, compassionate care. I treat every pet as if they were my own and keep pet parents updated with photos and messages throughout each visit. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to provide reliable care throughout the week. I do my best to accommodate each pet’s routine, whether that means walks, drop-in visits, boarding, or overnight stays. I believe consistency is important, so I communicate clearly and keep pet parents updated throughout every visit Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I have a secure, fenced yard where dogs can safely play and explore under supervision. Inside, I provide a clean, calm, and welcoming home while following each pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, exercise, medications (if needed), and any special instructions. I closely supervise pets and send regular photo and message updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

“Megan was amazing! She was very attentive and thorough with her walks of Gnocchi and was so kind to him! I will book her again the next time Gnocchi needs a walk.”

“Another successful walk! Echo seems to have fully warmed up to Laura. She was able to take over the leash and we had a chill walk around a local park. Will definitely try some house sitting in the near future.”

About: Hi, I’m Bri!🤗 My experience caring for my American Pit Bull Terrier for the past six years has definitely set me up to handle any sized pup. I personally house-trained her, leash-trained her, and taught her a couple fun tricks! She has taught me how to be more patient, consistent, and how to understand a dog’s needs based on their behavior. I treat every pet with the same care, attention, and respect I give my own. Making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care! :) 🐾 As a dog owner, pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I currently work a part-time job and take online college classes, which gives me a flexible schedule. I’m available most mornings and afternoons throughout the week, as well as on weekends! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it a priority to follow their routine so their pet feels comfortable and secure, just as they do when their owners are home . During walks, I ensure dogs get sufficient exercise, plenty of water, and positive attention while following any instructions regarding routes, pace, or training. For drop-in visits, I’ll provide fresh food and water if needed, give them playtime, bathroom breaks, and lots of affection!☺️ I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident their pet is happy and well cared for while they’re away.

About: What sets me apart is that I’ve long been the trusted, go-to pet sitter in my friend group. I have experience caring for dogs and cats, including month long stays with a young puppy where I supported potty training and first outdoor walks. I grew up with dogs, so caring for animals feels natural to me and something I genuinely love. Pet care is already part of my daily routine. I help care for two dogs at home, so feeding, walks, playtime, and general attention are things I’m involved with every day. This makes caring for other pets feel seamless and familiar. I tailor my care to each pet’s routine and personality, whether in my home or a client’s home. I make sure feeding schedules are followed, fresh water is always available, and pets get plenty of attention, play, and exercise as needed. I keep living spaces clean, handle litter boxes or waste promptly, and prioritize comfort, safety, and consistency so pets feel relaxed and cared for in a familiar environment.

About: I grew up surrounded by pets and have spent my entire life caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. For over 12 years, friends and family have trusted me as their go-to person for walking, feeding, bathing, and looking after their animals — long before I made it a profession. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, anxious pets, and multi-dog households. Every pet in my care gets photo and video updates throughout the day so you always know your dog is happy, safe, and loved. Caring for pets fits naturally into my routine because I intentionally keep a flexible schedule to provide reliable, attentive care. I also believe in consistency, communication, and treating every pet like they’re my own are what give owners peace of mind while they’re away. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I respect your home and follow your instructions closely. I provide regular photo and video updates for peace of mind, and I’m experienced with dogs of all temperaments, including anxious, seniors and special needs pets. Potty breaks will be according to however the owner pet would like to keep your dog comfortable and on routine.

About: Hi there! I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities, including senior, anxious, and high-energy pets. At home, I currently have two small dogs, Wallace (14) and Tofu (7), along with my cat Luna (9). Animals have always been a big part of my life, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pets and their routines. I'm comfortable with: - Senior dog & cat care - Giving medication - High-energy dogs who need extra engagement - Anxious or shy pets who need patience and calm energy - Positive reinforcement and treat-based training I'm not a professional trainer, but I genuinely enjoy working with dogs on basic skills, confidence, and engagement through positive reinforcement. If your dog is treat motivated, I'd love to incorporate little training moments into walks or drop-ins (with your permission of course!). I have a flexible schedule and am available Tuesdays–Friday from 7am–6pm, allowing me to give your pets lots of attention, consistency, and care. Whether your pet needs a calm companion, extra playtime, a slow walk, or just someone patient and attentive to check in on them, I'd love to help! Pets are family! I'll always do my best to make them feel safe, understood, and cared for while you're away 🐾 I have a very flexible schedule and am available Tuesday-Friday from 7am-6pm for walks, drop-ins, and enrichment time. I'm able to give pets consistent attention and adjust to their routines as needed. I focus on keeping your pet's routine as consistent and stress-free as possible while you're away. I'll follow your instructions closely, including feeding, medication, and walk routines. I'm patient, attentive, and always prioritize your pet's safety and comfort, both in your home and on walks.

About: Gentle (or jumpy!) giants are my specialty. I’ve spent the last 15 years sharing my life with Bullmastiffs, Dogues de Bordeaux and Cane Corsos from puppyhood to passing. Medium dogs are great but the big boys and girls are my heart. All ages welcome. My home is 100% set up for dog life. I’m retired from my full-time career but still work very part-time as a CrossFit coach, and also workout daily. Mornings I’m at the gym but home between classes and all afternoon. I have time for potty in the morning and awesome walks in the afternoon. Of course, cuddle and play time included! I have a fully fenced back yard, a dog run for their business, and a big dog bed in my living room. I have plenty of sanitized toys. Basically my home is set up to share with dogs. Unfortunately, my last baby crossed the rainbow bridge last September so I’m taking this opportunity to care for yours.

“Emily was super on it with my senior dog! She’s friendly and responsible. Also accommodated a last minute booking which is never necessary, but always appreciated.”

About: I love dogs! At the end of the day your fur child will be happy and pooped, and you will be worry free knowing that they are in safe hands and well taken care of. Having pets of my own I am very well aware of the responsibilities that come with a dog. I know just exactly what is required of me, and what is expected. After a long hard day at work, you will be able to come home to a cuddle bug just waiting for your arrival. Or even while you are away on vacation, you can be rest assured knowing that your pet is in good hands! What comes with your pet visit: 1 on 1 attention full of love and care. 30 minutes or more of playtime at the dog park at least once per stay 15-20 min. walks (at least 3 times a day). Meals will be served morning and evening Positive reinforcement is a must! Please note that it is a MUST that your dog is neutered/spayed to prevent any accidents. And let me know of any problem behaviors so I can best understand your dog's needs and how to approach it.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of different kinds. My love for pets have been for as long as I can remember! Growing up, I have personally cared for medium-sized dogs, specifically a German shepherd and Pitbull, and also 3 different cats. I recently have lived in a house with 5 pit bulls and helped walk, feed and bathe each one for over a year. I currently do not own a pet, but am itching to own one soon. For now, I am happy to assist in bringing comfort and joy into your pet’s life. Anything to help make a family's home easier is what I strive for. I am currently working full time, but have a flexible work schedule that can accommodate to feeding/walking times. I am looking for anyone interested in board & care at my home (limit 2 dogs), occasional overnight or drop in pet-sitting, dog walks, feeding and/or bathing care for your pet. I live in a house with a fenced yard. I offer a safe space to care for your pet. I live with my husband who is also a pet lover. It will help us get out of the house for necessary walks and overall care. Please let me know if your dog is friendly with other dogs as I can host up to two dogs at a time.

About: I am very good at training puppies. And have grown up around all different kinds of animals my whole life, from dogs to horses to turtles to chicken and pigs. I am home every day and can pay attention to your pet for as long as you need. And also need to earn some extra cash to help with everyday living. I have a beautiful 9 year old daughter. So the extra cash really helps out. THANK YOU! My availability is very much open to fit to your schedule, I'm currently not working so I can tend to your pets needs as much as they want. I don't leave any pets unattended when let outside. I usually will hang out in the backyard with them. And I will always make sure that they are comfortable and everything is taken care of anytime before I leave.

“Natasha is great! She was on time and very interested in taking care of our dog. She had a calm presence and our dog loved her! Highly recommend.”
