About: I’ve taken care of dogs for the past 9 years and have regularly volunteered with a local dog rescuer to foster dogs before they find their forever home. I have experience with dogs of all ages and look forward to caring for yours! I work from home most days and generally have the ability to move my schedule around if you need care multiple days in a row. I take frequent breaks for walks or play time with the dogs. I’ve got a large fenced in yard with plenty of room for your dog to run and play in. I’ve also got plenty of room in my house if a crate is needed. I’ll take care of your dog as if he or she was my own.
About: After working in semi-corporate environments for so long, I felt stifled. Once I started doing things for me - shorter, colored hair, more tattoos and piercings, people started looking at me differently, even though my personality never changed. The best part of my transformation was seeing all the animals still gravitating to me. I grew up around animals and kept up with having many different pets in my adult life. Now I get to play with, and care for, so many animals. It's not always easy, but it is rewarding to see their little faces light up when I open the door and know that I can bring them even a portion of the joy they give me. I take my own pup to the dog park before working a remote full-time job. My daughter got me started walking with her clients for lunch and in the evenings and I have learned to love the exercise and breaking up my day with animals! Our animals have the run of our home, sitting on furniture and sleeping in bed with us. Understandably, not everyone wants that and I can adapt to clients’ house rules without question.
About: I worked as a veterinarian for the past 5 years in Belarus. In April, I moved to the U.S. and am currently improving my English to get my diploma certified. I adore dogs—they make me happy, and I already miss interacting with them so much! I can walk your pets, play with them, feed them, and provide at-home treatments/medical care as prescribed by your veterinarian. I offer flexible pet care at your convenience — morning, afternoon, evening or night (advance notice required) . Services include walks, playtime and vet-approved treatments. I easily connect with dogs and cats of all temperaments. With patience and a gentle approach, I earn their trust and friendship, always prioritizing animal-friendly care.
About: I’ve had dogs as pets since I was 5 years old, I love the companionship of pets, especially since I work from home. My last dog Pepper sadly left us after a beautiful 16 years and so I think this is a great way to keep that connection going. I work remotely and have the flexibility to be away from my desk often. I love going for walks around my neighbourhood with my son and being outdoors in general, I used to live in Florida! I live in a pet friendly neighbourhood, with a dog park a short walk away. I also have plenty of outdoor space within my own home for pets.
About: Hello! I’m Ashley, I’m a Licensed Veterinary Nurse in emergency medicine and general practice with over 10 years of experience caring for animals. I care for both dogs and cats. Proficient in administrating medications if your pet needs them. Please feel free to reach out with any questions! I work 3 nights a week at the ER, 4 days off. For house sitting, I can move things around for longer visits but otherwise use my 4 off days for house sitting. If you are comfortable with your kiddos being home at night to sleep during times I work, that is an option. For smaller pets I can always make it so they can hangout with me at work! Otherwise I am very flexible since I make my own schedule. I offer pet sitting over nights, drop ins, and walks. I cannot board at my home since I have my own pets, but will do whatever I can to make sure your family pets are safe and happy while in my care!

About: I grew up LOVING dogs. I had probably over 20 stuffed dogs and would bring one with me everywhere I went. My family also had a cat named Filip, who I cared for on a daily basis. I routinely dog sat for neighbors and family as well. About 4 years ago, my husband and I adopted our first dog named Archer. He is 100 pounds of energy and love! I have learned a lot about puppy training techniques and how to encourage good behaviors. I am very organized and detailed oriented, so I approach pet care meticulously to ensure their well-being. My strong communication skills and ability to decipher animal body language allows me to build trust with the animals, so that they feel comfortable and receive the love and care that they deserve! I’m currently working from home most days during the work week, so my schedule is pretty flexible. My husband and I are typically around for the weekends as well! I have a fenced in yard and a very friendly dog who would love someone to play with. I love taking dogs for walks and will follow instructions as given. I also have a large crate at home if preferred/needed.

We also have a pet spa for baths if needed!

I am currently attending college and really enjoy spending my time with animals outside of school! My availability is varied because of my current schedule and my long commute, so I can typically accommodate flexible drop-ins and weekend housesitting.
