“Grace did a great job on dog walks with Archie. She sent updates and pictures, which made me feel at ease while gone. I appreciated the care and time Archie was given. I would book Grace again.”

“Dorian was beyond amazing with my wild child. She made sure that he was comfortable enough and gave him all the attention and love he needed while i was gone even if it meant spending a few extra minutes with him. Thank you sooooo much and i really appreciate everything you did for Onyx!”
About: Caring for my own dog has taught me a lot about responsibility, patience, and how to create a safe, comforting environment. I know how to handle daily care like feeding, walks, playtime, and basic training, and I’m comfortable with things like managing energy levels and keeping pets calm when routines change. I plan my schedule around the needs of the pets in my care to make sure they get consistent attention throughout the day. Each day includes designated times for feeding, walks or play sessions, bathroom breaks, and check-ins. I will also schedule time for grooming tasks like brushing or cleaning up, as well as giving any medications if required. When pets stay with me, I will provide a safe, pet-friendly environment where they feel comfortable and welcome. I follow their usual routine, including food, bathroom breaks, and rest that you provide me with. I will also supervise interactions with any other pets to ensure safety and comfort as my top priorities. Making pets feel like part of the family while they’re in my care is one of my main goals!
About: What sets me apart is that I truly love dogs! I currently work at a grooming facility, so I am comfortable being around different types of dogs and learning their individual needs. I also have a fenced-in yard where dogs can safely play and have fun. I have four kids who love dogs, so we have a fun and loving home for pups. I would love for my kids to get comfortable around different dogs before we have a family dog of our own. I have time during the week to give your pup plenty of attention, playtime, and care. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I work full-time as a paraprofessional Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 4 PM. My husband is home during the day, so the pup will have someone home with them while I’m at work. Once I’m home, I’ll be with the pup for the rest of the day and can give them plenty of attention, care, and companionship. I’m looking forward to play with your pups! I have a fenced-in yard where dogs can safely play and get exercise. I also have four children under the age of 9 who absolutely love dogs! We have a fun, loving family, and we would be happy to welcome your pup into our home. I will make sure your dog gets plenty of attention, playtime, and care while also making sure they feel safe and comfortable.
About: I absolutely live for pets to get the care they deserve. After all, our pets are part of our family. I have always had family pets and feel like they are an extension of our family. I work from home and I have a very flexible schedule. If you call...I'm there to take care of your furry friend. It simply takes one phone call for great service. I provide great service to all my clients when ever they need me to go to their home to care for their furry friends. Allow me the possibility to become an extension of your family. Pet care fits my work schedule because I work part time. I can free my schedule anytime. Having a flexible schedule just means I can spend more time with your furry friend and I don't have to be in a rush to get back to work. I have always pampered my pets. They all have a little personality, we just have to take the time to really understand them. Allowing them to be home and comfortable while you are away is the perfect time for you to see.. though the lens of a camera. Enjoy the new video communication!
About: I have professional experience working in veterinary medicine and providing compassionate, attentive care to animals with a wide range of personalities and needs. Through my experience, I have developed skills in recognizing changes in behavior, safely handling pets, administering medications when directed, monitoring overall health and comfort, and helping reduce stress during care. I’m comfortable caring for energetic pets, senior pets, and animals that may need extra patience or attention. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important trust, communication, and consistency are. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving owners peace of mind knowing their pets are in experienced and caring hands. I work full-time Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM–6:00 PM, with Thursdays and weekends off, but I still make time to provide dependable pet care around my schedule. I’m available for morning drop-ins, evening visits, overnight care when planned in advance, and have greater flexibility on Thursdays and weekends for longer visits, walks, and quality time. I understand how important routines are for pets and will work with owners to make sure their pets receive consistent, attentive care that fits their needs. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. With my background in veterinary medicine and hands-on animal care experience, I pay close attention to behavior, routines, and any signs that a pet may be stressed or uncomfortable. I believe trust is built through communication, consistency, and treating every animal with patience and respect. I work to create a calm, safe, and positive environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away, and I provide updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring and experienced hands.

I want to help make sure your pet feels happy and safe even when their parents are away! Your pet will be part of my daily routine with meals, treats, playtime, and cuddles. I’ll make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and loved. I follow their usual routines including feeding, walks, playtime, and exercise. I make sure they are comfortable, safe, and feel as though nothing has changed in their environment.

About: I have had pets since I was a child. I have rescue cats and doggos. My dog and cat are seniors. Every pet deserves a healthy and loving home. I have experience administering medication as one of my rescues was epileptic and needed daily meds and eye drops. I do have professional experience working for a dog daycare!! I love animals and will always advocate for those precious innocent souls that don’t have a voice. I work part time at a doggy daycare, I’m also a part time RBT working with children and young adults. Due to an inconsistent schedule as an RBT, I’m looking forward to being able to help care for animals. There is a space for doggies to walk around. No fence so they will stay on a leash and always be attended to and watched. There is a large park across the street that is perfect for walks and large trees to provide plenty of shade.
About: I have taken care of pets for as long as I can remember! I have been responsible for feeding, walking, bathing, etc. I love loving on and taking care of pups + cats. I have a pup of my own, so I am very used to the routine of walking/playing/taking care of them. She is extremely friendly and loves having friends come stay! They will be very loved and occasionally come home with a new toy. I have a yard where your pets can run around and get as much exercise as they need! Millie loves being outside so she’ll be right along with them. We go on walks frequently as long as the weather allows!

Your babies will always have plenty of love and playtime In my care! For me, the more the merrier. Being able to make sure you are comfortable in knowing your pet is safe, secure and getting the attention they need is my #1 priority. I'll be waiting to hear from you and your fur babies!

My home is child free so you don't have to worry about your babies being around any small unfamiliar! My complex is also pet friendly.
About: I have had a dog of myself for 10+ years, and he has definitely helped me learn a lot! I’m able to easily form great relationships with any dog I have met (so far), and absolutely adore being around them and caring for them. Thanks to my experience as a dog owner, I know all there is to know of the basics of caring for dogs of all ages. My current job has me working 2-6 Monday through Friday, and 1:15-6 on Wednesdays. Since I don’t work long hours, that leaves me pretty open when it comes to pet care! Since I don’t offer boarding in my own home, I will travel to yours to care for your pet. When housesitting, I tend to hang out in the area where your pet is in the most to keep an eye on them if they need anything, and to keep them company while I’m around (if I can, I also like being on the floor so if they want to come and say hi or get some pets I’m right within their reach)! Also, I may be unfamiliar with the neighborhood, but that won’t discourage me from taking your furry friend on walks if they’re able!
