About: I have been caring for a wide variety of animals my whole life, from cats to horses to dogs of all sizes! Large breeds are my specialty, as I have grown up around Great Danes, Saint Bernards, and Newfoundlands my entire life, and feel very comfortable handling them. I have cared for many senior and small breed dogs as well, so your pets will receive the upmost care no matter the age or size! I love working with as many unique personalities and animals as I possibly can, and will work tirelessly to make sure they receive the care they need. My schedule is often very open, especially during the summer when classes are out, so I will communicate well to work around YOUR schedule! I will do what it takes to get your pets the care they need when they need it. Safety is priority number one when it comes to caring for pets, for both me and the animals. I am sure to follow whatever instructions are given to me to the strictest degree so you don't have to worry about your pets safety while you're away. When going for walks I always maintain firm a firm hold on the leash, even with bigger dogs. I have been walking with large breeds such as Saint Bernards and Great Danes for over a decade, so I feel very comfortable remaining in control. I always carry pepper spray with me as well, just as an absolute last resort in the very rare chance that anything would happen.

About: i’ve taken care of dogs and cats and other animals from the time I was little, whether it be neighbors or friends or my own as I grew up on a farm! I have experience with aggressive and avoidant, cats and dogs. I’m currently free all day, which gives me plenty of time to give your pets lots of attention, playtime, walks, and care throughout the day. My schedule is very flexible, so I’m available for boarding, drop-ins, walks, and pet sitting during both weekdays and weekends. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I keep a clean, pet-friendly environment, closely supervise playtime, follow feeding and medication instructions carefully, and make sure every pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. currently, I live in an apartment with a fenced in dog area in the backyard, but in a few weeks will be moving into a townhouse with my very own backyard!

“If this app had 1000 stars it wouldn’t be enough with my crazy work schedule , this couple is the greatest . I so much appreciate them being able to walk Gail while I’m working this nightshift .”

About: Ever since I was young I've taken care of dogs, cats, ferrets, and birds at younger ages as well! I bond very well with animals and I treat them like they're a human too, it's instinct. I always wanted what's best for animals because they can't talk so I want to be their voice and opinion for them! I will be avaialble and open Monday-Sunday, so I'll have lots of time to tend to many furry companions! I work part-time for the time being but am open to expanding my schedule! I can easily meet each owners needs on their companions! If you need anything in particular just let me know and I'll accommodate to each individual!

About: I have been caring and training dogs for over a decade, including experience with large breeds. I am especially experienced with Newfoundlands, Newfoundland-Poodle mixes, Goldendoodles, Dogo Argentinos, and Vizslas. I am comfortable handling strong, energetic dogs and always approach animals with patience, respect, and understanding their individual needs. As a healthcare graduate student, I bring responsibility, attention to detail, and caring communication to every pet I care for. In addition, I genuinely enjoy being active and spending time outdoors, so I'm happy to provide long walks and structured exercise for pets who need to burn off some energy. Come May, I'll have a flexible schedule as I complete the classroom portion of my Doctor of Physical Therapy program. With a lighter schedule and no part-time work commitments, I'll have plenty of time and energy to dedicate to walks, drop-in visits, and giving your pets the attention they deserve. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I follow all owner instructions carefully, maintain secure handling during walks, and supervise pets closely at all times. I respect each home's rules and routines to ensure consistency for the pet. I am attentive to behavioral cues and changes in health, and I communicate promptly with owners if anything seems out of the ordinary.

“Andrea was wonderful. She listened to all instructions and advice and she seemed to handle my large spunky dogs well! I also appreciated that she took them for quite a long walk. I would highly recommend her, and will try to book her in the future!”

“Kumar was perfect! I had a family emergency and it was very last minute but he accepted the booking and took care of my cat. Will definitely book him again if I need.”

About: I have loved and cared for many types of animals since childhood and have had two Beagle babies of my own for almost 10 years now! I will care for your pets as if they are my own. My communication and close attention to detail helps me to follow specific instructions, and as I am very particular about my pets - I understand how to ease the worries associated with someone else caring the way you would. Frequent updates and pictures is the way I roll so you won’t have to worry about a thing. Flexibility is everything to me, also being a caretaker to a grandparent, so if you are not sure if I am a good fit… let’s talk about it! My schedule is a balancing act but I am lucky enough to work from home, which allows me more flexibility with seeing and caring for my furry friends. I understand some things happen in life and I would love to help where I can! I will care for your pets in the exact manner you request, along with extra love, doting, attention, patience and empathy. Trust is everything when it comes to what you love, and my goal is for everyone to have the best experience.

About: Hi there! I have years upon years of pet care experience. From pet sitting my neighbors ducks and chickens to staying in home dog sitting. I work at my local animal rescue/grooming salon and have lots of knowledge on a wide variety of animals. I regularly care for puppies and our senior babies as well. My employment at the rescue has given me lots of hands on experience, I regularly handle reactive and insecure dogs. I medicate both cats and dogs daily as well as regularly care for a deaf and blind handicapped dog that has frequent seizures I work Saturday through Tuesday. Saturday and Sunday I work in the morning and would be available after 1pm. Thursday’s and Fridays I can be available anytime, when I work on the weekends I get up at 5am so mornings are not an issue. I’m really flexible and willing to work with you! If you have any questions on times just let me know! Your pet’s safety is my number 1 priority. Working at the rescue has really sharpened my observation skills on animal behavior. I will never force an animal to do something that is overly uncomfortable, too overstimulating or threatens their overall health or wellbeing. I am a very patient person and willing to work with you and your fur friend on any insecurities or issue that may arise!

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs since I was very young. I started independently walking and watching animals when I was 12. I have had family, friends, and neighbors rely on me to take care of their fur babies for quite some time now. On top of that I have cared for my 3 cats since I was 8 years old. In addition, I have experience with senior pet care, I recently said goodbye to my senior rescue beagle and I have watched a handful of other senior dogs. I’m currently a full time student with an Internship a two days a week. I can easily stop in for a walk or potty break throughout the week when I don’t have my internship in the morning, afternoon and evening. My availability during the weekend is wide open during the morning and afternoon!! I am one of the biggest animal lovers I think there is. I will always put your fur baby’s safety and health first. I would also like to mention I have experience with dogs that have bad mannerisms, both the dog I am caring for and other dogs that may cross our path.

About: I have 3 dogs of my own. They are all mixed breed and we adopted them from the humane society. All of my dogs are medium sized breeds, so I have the most experience with larger dogs, but I love dogs of all sizes and enjoy playing with them as well as caring for them. I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule in the Summer. I am a substitute teacher during the school year and work a few days a week. I am willing to come to your home and take care of your pets. I can crate them if needed. If they like a daily walk, I will walk them. I will also make sure to stay for a little while at the home to give them some love.
