Ava was wonderful with our 3 pups. She knew how to manage their chaos and treated them so sweetly. She left the place looking great and really just went above and beyond. We will definitely be using her services again.

About: As a dog owner you should pick someone to care for your dog who has experience and loves dogs. Well, that care giver is me. Dogs are super energetic and absolutely loyal and that's what I love most about them. Trying to tire out a dog is fun because they're always ready for a game of fetch. If you choose me to care for your dogs you'll be receiving absolute professional service and a great experience for your dog. I have experience in walking, providing medication, and feeding dogs. Hopefully you pick me to care for your loving, four-legged friends. I work from home full-time so I am available for early morning, afternoon, and evening drop offs most week days and weekends as well. We can arrange a drop off on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays after 6pm. I have a cat already but they don’t require much attention. I have a big fenced back yard for your fur babies to run around. If you bring the crate I can easily crate them. I have a great neighborhood for dog walking.

Jasmine took excellent care of Zoey while we were out of town for nearly a week. Despite Zoey's nervousness and the challenges it posed initially, Jasmine exercised a lot of patience and willingness to try different things to allow Zoey to feel more safe. And after the first night, Zoey warmed up significantly! Jasmine kept us updated throughout the trip, whether it was the challenges on the first day or the big successes in the days that followed! We really appreciated Jasmine's skills, knowledge, and commitment to taking care of Zoey.

About: I'm friendly, professional and good with pets of all kind. I am available throughout the week and on short notice. I have been a freelance dog sitter and pet owner for years. Looking forward to meeting your loving doggie or kitty, I give good rubs and cuddles if you have a high energy and affectionate pet. I like going for walks and will be sure to incorporate play into our journeys. I spend my free time traveling and researching naturopathy and ancient knowledge. I have a deep respect for all life forms and would provide excellent care for your furry family members. I am good with dogs of all sizes and many other types of animals. Furry friends are fun and make life worth living. I work from home so I am able to dedicate time to the care of a boarded pet and provide plenty of attention as well I have a fenced yard and a friendly chihuahua who loves to make new friends. I enjoy long walks and being attentive to the pet I am caring for.

About: Hello! I work remotely, therefore I am always home. Your dog will not be left unattended. I also have a flexible cancellation policy. I know life can be crazy! I am the ultimate dog lover and will treat your dog like family. I keep my dog healthy with lots of snuggles and daily walks. Your dog will receive that same care that my Fur baby receives. I can also accommodate more than one pet; the more the merrier. You can call any time to check on your baby. I am always available to talk. I have a big fenced yard and a cozy home. Your dog will always be welcomed on my lap and couch. ❤️ Since I work from home full time I have lots of time to hang out with the dogs in my yard. They are like my little coworkers! I usually take the dogs on 2 walks a day but if you have a preference on more or less, I can do that. How do I ensure your dog is safe during their visit? I have a small friendly chihuahua. He loves making new friends and sharing his toys. My yard is treated monthly for fleas and ticks (All pet friendly treatments). The yard is secure with a tall fence and no gaps. My dog is up to date with his vaccines. Please let me know if your furbaby has a set schedule if not they will follow our routine. They get plenty of supervised play time and potty breaks throughout the day. I regularly vacuum and mop my house. All furniture also gets vacuumed daily. I use pet friendly flea prevention methods inside and outside my house. We get our house and yard professionally treated to avoid ticks and fleas. But I ask that you also keep your pet on flea preventatives. All dogs that come in must be vaccinated. Please do not bring your pup if they are showing any symptoms. (Runny stools, coughing, runny nose)

Annie watched our French Bulldog, Fiona, for 7 days. It was also a holiday weekend which is a big deal. She did a great job with Fiona! She would send pictures and Fiona looked like she was in her element at home. I felt so comfortable with Annie taking care of Fiona that I didn't feel the need to check in constantly (which is a big thing for me). She also left the apartment just as clean as we had left it! She was great!

Our experience with Ximena was great! She was flexible with the start time and even came by beforehand to meet our pets, which gave us extra peace of mind. She stayed at our home for several days while we were out of the country and was fantastic throughout. During the stay, she communicated quickly and regularly, sending us photos so we always felt comfortable knowing our pets were in good hands. When we returned, the house was clean, our pets were very happy, and she kept them on the exact feeding schedule we had trained them on. We will definitely be booking her again—highly recommend, and you shouldn’t hesitate to book with her either. Thanks again, Ximena!
