About: I have been around dogs since I was 5, as my best friend had dogs growing up. I worked at a doggie daycare, so I am comfortable walking and taking care of dogs. I am free in the mornings and early afternoon. I am an actress who has rehearsal at nights. I also have my own pets to take care of, so I won’t be out all day. I will respect the clients home and ensure to keep it clean/not move things around on them. I know how I would like to be treated with my home, and I will do the same for them.

“Taylor is prompt, professional, and very good with dogs! She clearly has experience dealing with dogs and was able to adapt to some changing conditions we had. My dogs loved her and got all the exercise they needed when she stopped by. I will definitely use Taylor again!”

About: I have been around pets my whole life and know how to read their body language. I am respectful if they need space and let them warm up to me. My family had large dogs and cats growing up that I helped care for and train. I helped care for 3 litters of puppies and I trained the puppies we kept. I also had a cat who was spoiled with love and lots of playtime. I work at a school and don't work during the summer, so I am very flexible. During the school year my availability will be afternoons/evenings on weekdays. I love cats and dogs of all breeds and sizes. I will love your pet like my own! I truly enjoy taking care of cats and dogs and giving them lots of play and affection. I always respect their space if they are afraid, but I am skilled at earning their trust and helping them warm up to me.

“Honestly such a relief to have found such a great cat sitter. Ashley provided daily pictures, played with our cats and made being away from our cats worry free! 100% would recommend, will be using her services in the future anytime we travel.”

“Maite was absolutely wonderful! She watched our two dogs (pitbull and chihuhua/pug) while we were away. She had great communication and sent videos and so many photos of our pups! I loved seeing them happy and could tell they were being well taken care of. Maite is very sweet and caring. We will definitely be reaching out to her again to watch our dogs!!!”

About: I have the patience and caring vibe that dogs seem to sense . Nothing give me more joy than knowing I can take care of someone's furbaby and give them the same love they would recieve. The joy when a dog knows they are cared for is the best feeling. I respect owners that seek out someone to walk their dog, or visit them because to me it shows they do want their dog to know they are loved . My ultimate goal is to provide trust and respect to the families and the dogs and that they can count to me to help ease their worry if they feel they would be home alone too long . Helping is what I want to accomplish.

About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and patience I bring to every pet I care for. I’ve had animals in my home since I was young, and over the years I’ve helped care for pets for elderly owners when they were unable to themselves. I have experience with boarding, bathing, light grooming, reinforcing owner-trained commands, and caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities — from teacup poodles to Great Danes and pitbulls. I’ve also administered oral medications and cared for diabetic dogs and pets with health needs. Building trust with both pets and owners is something I truly value, and I’m grateful to have had many repeat clients over the years. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as a stay-at-home mom who already spends a lot of time being active with my family and our own dog. We live in a gated community with great walking and running trails, so runs, walks, playtime, and exercise are already part of our day. I’m home often, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, companionship, care, and supervision throughout the day. I care for pets based on their individual routines and owner preferences to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Safety is my top priority, and interaction with other dogs, including my own, only happens with owner permission. Pets receive supervised potty breaks, walks, playtime, attention, and plenty of care throughout the day, with routines kept as consistent as possible both in my home and in clients’ homes.

“Great, as always.”
