About: What Makes Your Pup's Day Special! 🐕 Personal Adventure Time - Every dog gets their own customized experience, whether that's exploring new trails for the energetic labs or gentle neighborhood strolls for the senior sweethearts 🏠 Home Away From Home - Your dog stays in my cozy, dog proofed space with comfy beds, interactive toys, and a secure backyard for playtime and potty breaks 📱 Real Time Updates - You'll get photos and videos throughout the day so you can see your pup's adventures and know they're having a blast 🎾 Enrichment Activities - Beyond basic care, I provide mental stimulation through puzzle toys, training reinforcement, and socialization with other friendly dogs (if your pup enjoys it) My Promise to You: - Emergency vet contact and pet insurance knowledge - Medication administration experience - Flexible pickup/drop-off times - Detailed daily reports about eating, bathroom habits, and mood - Genuine love and attention for your furry family member Available Services: - Overnight boarding in my home - Daily dog walking adventures - Midday potty breaks and feeding - Weekend getaway care I became a dog sitter because I believe every dog deserves to feel loved and excited about life, even when their favorite humans aren't around. pet care isn't just something I squeeze into my schedule, it IS my schedule. I've structured my work and personal life around providing excellent care. My mornings start early with dog walks before the day gets busy. I work flexible hours so I can accommodate different pickup times and give each dog proper attention throughout the day. Weekends are often my busiest times for overnight stays, which works perfectly since I prefer spending my weekends hanging out with dogs anyway. I've found that caring for pets actually improves my own routine, it keeps me active, gives structure to my days, and provides the kind of unconditional companionship that makes every day better. In My Home Your dog becomes part of my daily routine from the moment they arrive. I start each morning with a good walk and breakfast, then we settle into a comfortable rhythm. I work from home, so your pup gets constant companionship and attention throughout the day. They have access to my living room and kitchen areas, plus a secure backyard for supervised play and bathroom breaks. Evenings include another good walk, dinner, and plenty of couch time if they're cuddlers. I keep detailed notes about their eating, bathroom habits, and any quirks I notice to share with you. In Your Home I treat your space with complete respect while keeping your dog's routine as normal as possible. I follow your feeding schedule, walking routes, and house rules exactly. Your pup gets the same level of attention and care, but in their familiar environment with all their favorite spots and toys. I also take care of basic house tasks like bringing in mail and watering plants if needed.

“Neha was wonderful! She took care of our little baby so well, while staying consistent with our daily schedule and routines. She is reliable and responsive and kept us updated all day. River was very happy to make a new friend and loved playing in the park. Would highly recommend Neha to anyone looking for a responsible pet sitter!”

About: I have been dog walking for my neighbor for years! I loved my morning walks with him and am excited by the opportunity to meet some new pets! I currently work part time and have quite a bit of flexibility with my hours. It would be easy to find time on a daily and weekly basis to care for animals. I have loved taking care of friends and family’s pets growing up and extend kindness to all animals. I would extend the same to your pets!

“Amazing! Our doggies loved him. He took extra care and truly altered his schedule to surround our dogs at the center of it. Consistently responsive, and let us know of every single detail which was most appreciative. Excited to book him again!”

About: Hi! I’m a reliable and caring pet sitter with 6 years of experience working with dogs of all kinds. I also have a strong background in training, so your pup will not only be well cared for but also get some positive reinforcement along the way. I treat every dog like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine since I’m currently studying and spend most of my time at home. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, stay consistent with their schedules, and care for multiple animals while making sure each one gets the time and care they need. I have a fenced yard as well as a fenced pet pen to give your pets the freedom in a controlled environment. I also provide home cook pet meals as well!

About: I have a passion for working with dogs and helping them and their humans have the best possible relationship. Regardless of your pup’s age, personality, medical (or other) needs, I’m happy to step up and be a positive part of their day. I’m lucky enough to have a very open schedule during the summer, especially during the day. That means I’m super flexible and willing to work with whatever your scheduling needs are! The love and compassion that you have for your pup is being passed into good hands. Your pup will thank you for entrusting them to my care!

About: I am a teacher looking for something to do on weekends and the summertime! I love love dogs and cats! I have had multiple dogs and cats growing up since I was born in the 90’s. On my own I have 2 dogs and 1 cat whom I love so very much! I have taken care of family pets, neighbors pets, and other types of pets like birds! I’m a teacher. So weekends work the best! Once summer hits in mid June, then I’m available M-F, too! Since I’m a kindergarten teacher, I’m a nurturer, and a huge lover of animals. My mother donates to the ASPCA and WWF every year. I will do my absolute best to cater to the needs of your furry family members, whether dog or cat! Crates, special foods, treats, toys, or just plain quality time! I’m here for the vibes! I also would love to meet the pups or cats before the services start to see if we are a match!

About: Hi! I'm Jenna :) I've had a love for animals for as long as I can remember and have several years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities. I previously lived and helped care for my sister's baby (my nephew hehe), Blu (a pit bull), and two sassy little kittens. I'm currently in college and can't wait to have a little animal family of my own someday, but for now I truly love pet sitting and would be so grateful to care for your pets like they're my own. I'm especially comfortable with big + high energy dogs, but I truly love dogs of all sizes (I regularly take care of my friend's chihuahua too!). Blu has separation anxiety and is reactive so I'm very used to being patient, attentive, and aware of triggers to keep walks and interactions safe. I also have an athletic background and am confident when handling strong dogs, even during training/high energy moments. I help reinforce basic training like leash walking, heel, and recall during walks. I love staying active with dogs and making sure they feel comfy, safe and cared for while you're away. + I'll always keep you updated with photos and check-ins!! I have a flexible schedule and can plan my days around the pets I’m caring for. I’m available for overnight stays, drop-ins, and walks, and I prioritize sticking to each pet’s routine so they feel comfortable. I just ask for at least 4 days’ notice for bookings so I can plan accordingly and give your pet the best care possible. I provide care in my client’s home and make sure to follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable in their own environment. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, walks, and any specific instructions you provide. I’m very attentive and experienced with high-energy, anxious, and reactive dogs, so I’m always aware of my surroundings and keep walks safe and controlled. I also have experience babysitting, so I’m very respectful of others’ homes and comfortable with light housekeeping if needed. I make sure doors, leashes, and spaces are always secure, and I’ll keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you feel confident your pet is in good hands.

“Second time we’ve used Mika. She sends great pictures and updates! She has no problem with requests. She takes initiative and has great consideration as she’s brought in packages without even being asked. Highly recommended! We will definitely reach out to her again for future needs!”
