About: I grew up in a dog-friendly household and 5 years ago I adopted a dog on my own. For the past couple of years my friends have entrusted me with watching their dogs. I am a personal trainer that trains mainly in the early mornings and late evenings. I have a huge chunk of free time during the day. I stick to a solid daily routine that will ensure a walking time, feeding time, and eating time. I also can give daily updates on how the pet is doing (can include photos).
“Amber did a great job taking care of my cats over the holidays! They are extremely anxious, so having her come to look after them was so helpful! I would recommend her to anyone!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 10, I always treat the dogs I sit like my own, I love caring for dogs and will have their best interest at heart I am at home for most of the time unless I am at my morning college classes on Mondays and Wednesdays for an hour each day so I have time to walk and feed your dogs for their needed times I used to own a dog before she passed away so I know how to handle dogs, I also have a fenced backyard so they can have their own space when they want it without running away
About: I grew up in a household with at least 3 dogs at a time and they all held special places in my heart. I highly value treating animals as one of our own, so your babies will be safe and well cared for with me 😊 I currently work part-time with a flexible schedule, which usually involves working nights. We can very easily figure out a schedule that works for everyone! I highly value kindness, patience, and compassion. My pets are very well taken care of and I will take care of yours as if they were mine! While we’re able to explore the world, we are the world for our pets! This means lots of playtime, cuddles, little treats, and clean litter boxes.
“Melanie dropped by our home to check on our two kittens. She always sent updates and pictures. She communicated very well and was super trustworthy! We’ll definitely have her watch our cats again 😊”
“Tiffany was great! She was available for a last minute trip and was able to easily adjust the days to match our plans. She also brought in an unexpected package that was delivered while we were away.”
“Taelor was amazing. She always made sure our cat was taken of while dropping in and did things without questions (I.e cleaning his litter box, giving him fresh water). Her updates were much appreciated and we’ll definitely be using her in the future”
“Will definitely be booking Brian again! He was so great taking care of my dog and giving her love while I’m out of town! And even accommodated to my crazy schedule!! Couldn’t have been an easier process! Thanks so much!”
About: I’ve had pets since I was 9 years old. My first dog was called Dogy (I’m from Brazil, so that name made sense lol). Since then I’ve cared for my fur babies , mostly dogs, with great dedication and love. I also have cared for family members and friends’ pets, which I really enjoy doing. If I could, I would have a bunch of dogs but currently I can’t, which is why I’m so happy to have found this opportunity to give a lot of love to other families’ babies and give them back happy and content and ready to come back anytime! I’m a stay at home mom, so I’m home every day. I’ll be able to take them outside to the bathroom as much as they need. I have two daughters, they’re 12 and 9, who absolutely adore dogs and cats. They’ll be more than willing to love on your fur baby, and give them belly rubs and treats (if they’re allowed to). I have experience taking care of dogs with health issues and those who need medication or are elderly. I’ll take care of your fur baby like he/she is my own! Can't wait to hear from you! Hablo Español! Falo Português! I’m a stay at home mom, so I’m home every day. I can watch your fur baby during the week, except Tuesdays mornings and Thursdays evenings. I can also do it during the weekends. I have a big yard and although is not fenced, I can take your pet outside on a leash for them to use the bathroom. Other than that , your baby will stay with us inside at all times, in the air-conditioning house, because is hot outside. We don't have a dog, but my kids have a cat, who can stay at their rooms while I care for your fur baby. Julieta, the cat, is indifferent towards dogs, and humans too lol, so she won’t bother anyone.
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life since I was a little girl, being around dogs is something that has always made me happy and I know the ins and outs of taking care of them. They will get all the care they need based on what you need from me. They will be loved and safe with me like they are one of my own. I’m trusted by many friends and family for pet care, and have always had good experiences! I’ll have plenty of time to take care of your puppies! My schedule is very flexible. As of now I am open any day throughout the week and on Saturdays whenever you need me! I am more than capable to take care of your dogs in whatever way you need! Your pups will be safe and still have fun with me. They will have everything you need them to!
“What a beautiful soul! I am so grateful at how well she took care of my little family. They normally get really mad when I leave on trips but Gislene took such care of them that they didn't even care I was gone Thank you for being so sweet, attentive and respectful of my home and my kitties.”
“Andrea has such a calm and genuine energy about her. ?⬛ ? When our cats first met her they came right up to her and were immediately comfortable. She did an amazing job taking care of our two boys! We also had an issue with our lock and she ran out to Walmart to grab WD-40 to get the door open. Andrea went above and beyond and we will definitely be booking with her in the future. Thanks Andrea!❤️”
“Whitney is so amazing and good with dogs! She watched my anxious rescue pup and my pup was so calm she even went to sleep! Furthermore, Whitney is so friendly and respectful, will recommend her to all the pawrents I know!??”
“Melissa was fantastic taking care of my two German shepherds. One is a senior and requires daily medication and the other is a puppy that requires lots of exercise and attention! She always kept me up to date twice a day with pictures and notes on each dog. She took care of my house and kept things clean despite the bad weather outside. She is easy to work with and made my vacation a lot more relaxing knowing that my two dogs were in responsible, caring hands. Will absolutely be utilizing Melissa’s services again!”
About: I’ve grown up dog sitting and owning dogs my whole life. My family and I have fostered/rescued 12 dogs since I was a kid! I have two rescues of my own and I absolutely adore all animals. In addition to taking care of dogs, I’ve volunteered at an animal sanctuary for over a year! I’ll take the best care of your babies! I’m available to work all summer and have an extremely flexible schedule. I’ll most likely be able to watch/walk/check in on your animals at any time! I have a fenced in yard with a pool that is like a doggy oasis! I dog sitting for people all the time and have even had 9 dogs staying in the house at once like a doggy day care.

“Gabriela was an exceptional pet sitter for my German Shepherd, Luna. From the moment we met, I could tell that Gabriela genuinely loves animals and would treat Luna with the same care and attention that I do. She kept me updated with regular photos and messages, which put my mind at ease. Gabriela made sure Luna got plenty of exercise by playing fetch, one of her favorite activities, and even took the time to give her extra belly rubs and attention. Luna was happy, well-exercised, and clearly very comfortable with Gabriela. I couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter, and I highly recommend Gabriela to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and caring!”
