Yin did a great job with our puppy Brock while we were away - she came in a few days before hand to get to know him, and despite how rambunctious he can be at first, she was able to calm him down and he did very well with her. She was very on time, would always share updates, and was very kind. Would definitely use her in the future!

Laura is great with dozer. He has recently been having some health issues and she has been very sensitive to needs and always communicates with me about his energy level and vibe for the day. Her help and consistency is greatly appreciated!

I can't say enough good things about Rebecca. She was friendly, enthusiastic and reliable. My dog loved her. She walked and ran with him. When we say "Rebecca is coming" He runs to the door , sits wagging his tail. If anybody needs a wonderful dog walker. Rebecca is it.

About: I've taken care of pets for friends and relatives numerous times in the past. Now looking to do the same on here and get paid for what I'm good at. I used to have a cat of my own so they're my specialty, but I do good with dogs too. I'm always available, so hit me up whenever you need and we'll work out times and such. Going on vacation? Sudden family plans? I got you covered. I don't offer boarding since my relatives aren't cool with it, but I can easily come to you just fine. All I need to know is when to walk the dog, when to change litter for the cats, that sort of thing.

Mondays would be after 1pm. Tuesday are open, and Wednesdays I am open in the morning till 1pm. I have a fenced in yard for my two dogs currently. Both of them are house trained and adorable.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was a teenager, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. Growing up around both dogs and cats taught me how to understand their different personalities, needs, and behaviors from an early age. Over the years, I’ve gained hands on experience with pets of all ages, and sizes. I truly enjoy creating a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for them. Whether it’s going on walks, playtime, feeding, giving medication, or simply providing companionship and affection, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet who is a part of your family. I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is always to make pets feel happy, and cared for while their owners are away. I am currently a law student and will also be completing a summer internship. With a flexible schedule and the ability to work from home two days a week, I’m available throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, feedings, playtime, and companionship. I also offer overnight stays to help pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. I understand the importance of reliability, communication, and consistency when caring for someone’s pet, and I’m committed to providing attentive and dependable care that fits each pet’s individual needs. I provide care for pets in the comfort of their own home, where they can stay in a familiar and stress-free environment while their owners are away. I make it a priority to follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I understand that every pet has a different personality and comfort level, so I always take the time to build trust and make them feel safe, calm, and cared for. In addition to meeting their daily needs, I also provide plenty of attention, companionship, and affection so pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. Whether it’s keeping an energetic dog active with walks and playtime or giving a cat quiet companionship and care, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I also make sure owners feel reassured by providing updates, photos, and clear communication throughout the stay.

I’ve had a Shih Tzu mixed Maltese for four years, and I’ve also taken care of other pets. • Meet & Greets • Detailed Updates Via Message/Call • Professional Pet Care I am currently entering in my junior year of college, studying health science. I’m open to discussing if I would be a good fit for you and your family! I offer pet sitting, dog walking, overnight care, and drop-in visits. My schedule becomes much more flexible from June-July with availability in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I would be happy to discuss your specific needs and see if I would be a good fit during your preferred timeframes. I have a lovely neighborhood for your dog to walk around, water to keep them happy, constantly checking for hydration, fun activities, and frequent checking in with you to let you know they’re safe!

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats of different sizes for a few years now. I love animals and since I have none of my own; I thought pet sitting would be the best opportunity for me to meet people, their families and their pets 😄 I am currently working part time now, so I have lots of time to care for and play with your cats & dogs! I love animals and since I have no pets of my own; this is the best opportunity to show my love for them!! I will definitely make sure your pet(s) is cared for with fresh food and water; also treats ( by owner direction. ) I will also make sure that the environment is safe during my visit, and will definitely reach out if I see anything questionable! I will also provide playtime with your pet(s).

About: I have been taking care of animals most of my life! I have my own dog her name is Revvy and she is my whole entire world! I also have experience with pigs, chickens, fish, and so much more! I have lots of love to give to all kinds of animals. I just want to be able to care for all furry kinds of friends and give them the love and attention they deserve. I work at a doggy day care and boarding facility but always make time for my dog, we always are out early in the morning to tire her out so she isn’t missing me too much when I am at work! Then we go out after work. I am mostly available early mornings and possibly late evenings. I will treat them as my own, give them lots of love and attention. I will protect them and provide them with everything they need. I just hope that they will end up loving me as much as they would be loved by me.

I couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter! Johnathan provided regular updates, including photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. My dog was happy, wait for him , and got plenty of exercise and attention. It’s clear that Johnathan genuinely loves animals and goes above and beyond to make them feel comfortable. I highly recommend Johnathan to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and responsible dog sitter!

I can’t say enough good things about Shannon- such an amazing person who went above and beyond to care for our silly boy Leo during a last minute need. I’m a veterinarian and I have a lot of specific needs, but she stepped in and cared for our boy just as her own—even better than I could have asked for. You would be lucky to have her looking after your pet! Thank you for everything, Shannon!!

I cannot say enough good things about Ari! This was my first time using a dog-walking app and having someone other than me care for my dogs, so I was definitely a little nervous. But from the very start, Ari made everything feel so easy and stress-free. I was home the first day to see how my dogs would respond, and they immediately took to her. The next four days, she handled everything on her own—and did it perfectly. She followed every instruction carefully, asked thoughtful questions, and paid close attention to the little details (like removing their harnesses afterward without being asked—something I really appreciated!). The daily updates with photos and notes were such a comfort while I was away. My dogs were clearly in great hands, and it showed. She even brought in a package from my mail lady for me while I was gone—above and beyond in every way. Ari is a literal sweetheart, professional, reliable, and just amazing with my 2 dogs. I’ve 100% found my person—no need to look elsewhere. I’ll definitely be booking her again and again!
