About: I've had dogs my whole life. I grew up with a German Shorthaired Pointer named Shaft who made me a life long lover of dogs. At 18 I brought home my Rhodesian Ridgeback, Tsar, and raised him from a puppy. He's 9 now and very much my child. Two years ago we added Goose, a goofy, high-energy golden retriever who keeps us both on our toes. I'm very comfortable handling large, strong dogs, but I have a real soft spot for the little ones too. I pay close attention to body language and respect dogs as animals first, which helps me read how they're feeling and keep them calm and safe. I know your pets are family, and I'll care for them the same way I care for mine. I previously worked part time as a product designer, and I'm now looking to spend more of my time doing something that genuinely makes me happy. My weekdays are open and flexible, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pups. Dogs have always been a big part of my daily life, between walks, playtime, and keeping up with my own two, so pet care fits right in. Your pups will get the attention, exercise, and company they deserve. I care for dogs the way I care for my own, with a steady routine and plenty of attention. My dogs start the day with a walk, then settle for 15 to 20 minutes before eating to help avoid digestion issues. I never leave the house without a bag of treats, and every walk doubles as a mini training session. I let dogs explore and sniff to their heart's content while still working on leash manners, and I'm happy to reinforce whatever training you're working on. Whether I'm caring for a dog in my home or yours, I'll gladly follow the routine you've already set up for your pet.

“Professional, communicative and friendly! Would highly recommend!”

“Andy was an awesome dog walker. He was prompt and made sure my dog got her full hour. You can tell he is a dog person who cares and understands dogs. Iggy loved walking with Andy and Milo.”

About: I have raised five or six cats at home when I was twelve years old . I have experience in raising kittens. I like kittens and puppies very much. I am very kind and caring. I'm currently working part-time, so l'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for boarding on Monday to Friday afternoon 12:00pm to 6pm I will take good care of your pets at your home or take them out for walks. I will play with them and clean up after them.

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I remember. I enjoy being around animals and treat every pet with the same care and attention I would want for my own. I'm currently working part-time, so I have a lot of time to walk and take care of your pets. I am available more often during the week. I don't have any pets of my own at the moment, so I will be fully focused on your pet. I’m patient and attentive, and I understand that every dog has their own personality, habits, and boundaries.

About: Hi all pet loving owners! What sets me apart from other sitters is 1. I treat all animals as if they were my own with the utmost respect and care 2. My goal is to give your pet the best day possible as all animals deserve 3. I will cater to each individual pets needs preferences and routines 4. I will always give updates on your pet either through text or social media 5. With the time I have, I am always able to accommodate special requests so your pet is happy at all times Pet care fits greatly into my current schedule because I mainly work remote. I have a lot of time to pet sit as I have been doing for awhile now. Many friends and family have not hesitated to ask me to watch their pets! When a pet enters my home, my home is basically their home. I have plenty of space so they can be comfortable and just enjoy their time here. I am a minimalist so my space is very clean and not cluttered. So rest assured that your animal is safe in any area of the house they are in.

“Miyuko has been wonderful! Always on time & great with Milo”

“Nicoletta was really great from the meet and greet through to the walks for our Nayeli. She communicated the whole time and took some great photos while on the walk. I would definitely trust and use Nicoletta again in the future.”

About: Hello, My name is Gloria Itzel and I am currently blessed to share my household will a beautiful black and white short haired tuxito cat and two lovely very energetic Shih Tzu/Yorkshire Terrier's. I Love playing sports, staying active, and discovering new things. I believe there is nothing better than to spend that time while hanging out with our amazing lovable furry friends. I would prefer to walk small dogs as I am 5'1 weighing at about 130lbs (hence my choice of breed for companionship are a Shih Tzu and a Yorkshire Terrier) but any four legged friend of yours is a friend of mine. I am more than pleased to be able to spend some time with your furry friend while staying physically active! Please let me know if you would like any special requests.

“Aaron is excellent! He's very responsive to my texts and gets back to me right away. He's also very organized and had to remind me of our walk schedule for this week! James Dean loves walking with him and is very enthusiastic when Aaron arrives to walk him. A happy (and tired out) dog is the best proof that my dog is getting the most out of his walks with Aaron.”

“Vivian did really great with Ollie on his walks. Ollie isn’t the easiest dog to walk as he’s really anxious about his surroundings but Vivian did the most to encourage him and made sure he got his steps in! She showed up on time for the 3 walks we had and sent pictures and communicates very well! Ollie usually takes a long time to warm up to new people but after his first walk with Vivian they were friends so I know she’s taking very good care of him :)”

“Doug took my two big dogs for a 60 minute daily walk during a week that I was away. He and his family clearly love dogs and sometimes his wife and/or adult daughter would join him for the exercise and entertainment. He sent pictures, was 100% reliable, and was a great communicator. My dogs will miss their daily time with him! Thank you, Doug!”

“Ray was great with Jimi! Jimi is leash reactive and not friendly with other dogs, plus he is very strong, so I’m always worried when someone else walks him. But I felt extremely confident with Ray walking him. He also spent extra time with Jimi and they played in the backyard after each walk. Additionally, I appreciated how communicative Ray was with me and all the pictures that he sent while I was away. I can’t recommend Ray enough!”

“Yiteng was a fantastic walker for our little dog. Caring, attentive and very communicative.”

About: I’ve helped many friends and family take care of their dogs while they’re away. I have experience with both small and large dogs with different personalities, including puppies under 10 months old. I am patient, attentive, and responsible. No children or pets are present in my home, and I take only dogs from one household at a time, so you can rest assured your babies will be safe, comfortable, and receive ample attention. I let dogs roam free in my home as long as they’re well-behaved, although I prefer you bringing a crate in case your dog experiences separation anxiety in a new environment. I work from home, so I have plenty of time and flexibility to play with your dog and provide frequent potty breaks and walks. I’m home most of the day except for a few hours going to the gym, running errands, etc. My home is large and spacious, with an attached/fenced balcony so your dog can get some fresh air whenever they want to. There is also a grassy dog play area right downstairs so I can take your dog potty or play outside quite frequently.

“Jenna was on time, friendly, listened to all of Riley's quirks and took them to account and gave her a nice long evening walk. 100% would book again!”
