About: I’d say what really sets me apart is how much I genuinely care about the pets I’m watching. I don’t just “check in” on them I try to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. I take time to learn their personality, routines, and little habits so I can care for them in a way that feels familiar to them. I have experience with both young and senior pets. With puppies, I’m patient and consistent with things like potty training, basic commands, and building good habits. With older pets, I understand they may need a slower pace, extra attention, or help with things like medication and sticking to a routine. I’m also big on communication I like to send updates and pictures so you know your pet is doing well. Overall, I just treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel as happy and stress free as possible. I currently live with my partner and my puppy all i do at home is do online school and take care of my puppy all day! I have a fenced backyard a pet safe house with pet gates as well lots of toys and food of course! I love caring for pets i am studying to become a Vet tech
“Callie was so sweet with my dog! Roxy came home super happy and excited so we are so satisfied with the service. definitely recommend Callie and will be booking in the future.”

About: I love dogs and have had several throughout my life, I've house sat for dog owners before and know exactly what it takes for different dogs and lifestyles. I'm free all day any day aside from Tuesdays and Thursdays unfortunately because that's when I have my college classes in person in the daytime. My house and neighborhood are very pet friendly. I go out of my way to make sure pets are safe and supervised while also having fun.
About: I’ve had pets my entire life and genuinely love caring for animals. I have experience looking after dogs and cats for friends, family, and neighbors, including feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m very reliable, detail-oriented, and always follow care instructions closely. I also have a flexible schedule and can often accommodate last-minute requests. I’m happy to send updates and photos during each visit so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands! Pet care fits very easily into my daily routine. I do online school, so my schedule is very flexible and I am available throughout the day most days of the week. This allows me to accommodate morning, midday, and afternoon walks or drop-in visits depending on what your pet needs. I am also able to be consistent with recurring schedules if needed, and I can adjust my availability when planned in advance. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize safety, respect, and following all instructions exactly as given. I make sure pets are secure at all times during walks, including proper leash handling and awareness of surroundings. During drop-in visits, I focus on making sure pets are fed, have fresh water, get potty breaks, and receive attention and playtime so they feel comfortable and cared for while their owner is away. I treat every home with respect by being mindful, clean, and careful, and I always follow any specific routines or rules provided for each pet.

“Shannon was amazing with Flaca, especially since she’s been dealing with a hot spot and tummy issues. She was caring, followed instructions carefully, and kept me updated. I felt totally at ease knowing Flaca was well cared for. Highly recommend!”

About: I grew up in a household full of dogs. They truly are my passion! I’ve raised 3 puppies from birth which included training them. I’ve also taken care of multiple senior dogs that had medical issues. I’ve watched several families dogs and cats for an extended period of time since I was about 13! I love walking/running dogs and could sit and play with them for hours on end but also love to cuddle up and lay with them! I’m very responsible and treat every dog I watch like i’m watching someone’s kid. I am currently in school but only have classes twice a week and am only gone for about 3 hours each day. I work twice a week (usually Thursdays & Fridays) & my hours usually are between 7am-12pm. I have my animals at home and we have our schedule that works for us to sure they're all taken care of before I leave but would be willing to work with you around what works best for your fur baby! Pets are family and they should be treated as such! I walk/run my dogs or the dogs i’m watching everyday, they are taken outside frequently to go potty & are played with and entertained around the clock! I’m a very neat person so I absolutely don’t mind picking up after animals! In my home pets are always welcome on beds or couches and of course my lap! I’ve also watched crate trained dogs so that wouldn’t be a problem for me at all!

I’ll follow whatever routine you give me, keep a close eye on them, and treat them like one of my own.
About: I’ve been caring for pets for a few years, mostly for close friends and family. Whether it’s feeding, walking, or just keeping them company while their family is away, I’ve always treated pets as my own. I often help with housesitting and babysitting as well, so I’ve learned to also juggle multiple responsibilities. I’m back home for the summer from college, so my schedule is open! Aside from family responsibilities, I can be pretty flexible with dates or times! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always do my best to keep their routines as normal and comfortable as possible. I’m not afraid to ask clarifying questions about your pets to ensure I am giving them the best care. :)

About: I have four pets of my own, three dogs and one cat! I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 15, from dog sitting overnight or just during the day. My parents coworkers always relied on me to stay with their dogs, feed them, and play with them. I have time available during the week and weekend to do what I enjoy doing, and that is taking care of animals. I love being energetic and provide the care animals need. I have a huge backyard to keep my dogs entertained. I also have plenty of toys my dogs don’t use because they are extremely picky. I follow the specific directions my clients direct me to. It varies between each client but I feed them as many times they tell me, make sure they have their certain blanket next to them when they sleep. Leave the light on because they are scared of the dark. Give them certain treats after they use the bathroom or do tricks. Take them on a walk with the correct harnesses, clean up after them etc.
About: I’ve always had pets growing up. For a majority of my childhood, I had four dogs (three chihuahuas and a golden labrador) and two birds (a cockatiel and indian ring neck). When I moved out, I brought two dogs and a bird with me and took care of them as they aged. I have spent years volunteering for an animal shelter and I have experience giving medications and taking care of animals in general. I am a third year medical student so currently my schedule is a little bit crazy. I’d still love to help out with your pet so let me know and I will try to make it work! Safety and trust are very important to me. I will take every precaution to ensure your pet is as safe as possible.

About: I was raised in a dog friendly family. I have taken care of dogs since my teenage years. I dog sit for family often. Dogs & Cats are family! I am a stay at home dog, cat, fish, and toddler mom. My daily schedule consist of rising early spending the morning outside with my animals. We like to tend to our yard and vegetable garden first. A trip to the park with my toddler and dog before it gets too hot is a must. My yard is fenced with brick at the end of a culdasec. We have one friendly dog and four cats. We all love being outside together. We travel as a pack. I feed the first meal around 6am and then usually open up the back door so the dog and cats can roam freely in the backyard. They like hanging in our veggie garden. Once my toddler wakes up we will go for a walk, play, or even go to the park. We love to pet and cuddle our animals throughout the day. We feed again around 5pm. Your dog or cat will get plenty of love while in my care. I want them to feel part of our family!

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
