“Jay and Lisette have been so good with walking Bunni and Sharki for a whole week, they are not only consistently on time and always walk them a bit more time than allotted, but also take the time to wipe their paws especially when it’s nasty outside. Would absolutely recommend them to others!”


About: I have taken care of dogs for the last 3 years. This includes my own dog, family, & friends dogs. I love dogs of all sizes! They are such a joy to watch and play with! I am currently available to watch dogs on a full-time basis. I am excited to play with and take care of your dog while you are away. I care for dogs in their home because that is their safe space. It is important to build trust with them especially when first meeting them. I am coming into their home so they need to trust me.

“Kexin is so amazing with our big pup, Ace! She is reliable, trustworthy, and great with dogs! She always sends us plenty of updates and photos of their adventures, even when they happen to be in the rain!!”


“Nicole is incredibly kind and patient with Bruce. She always communicates well and is thorough in detailing how her walk with him went. I can’t recommend Nicole enough!”


About: I grew up taking care and even sitting some of my mom's friends dogs. In my teens I would take care and sit a few family members dogs. I then volunteered at a puppy adoption center in Mexico. I am currently only attending school on Friday mornings from 8am to 12pm. I will update my schedule once I go back to tutoring or when my classes change. I will ensure that your pets get the care they need and the exercise they need. I will also pay attention to any requests your pets may need.

About: I have previously owned dogs when I was younger (8yrs -17yrs old), my goal is to provide care for your pet and make them feel comfortable. I will do this by walking, play time, and cuddles and meeting any other needs your pet requires :) I am currently a post university graduate, so I have a bit more down time as things have winded down. I am a schedule driven person which leads me to be very attentive and love getting out or hanging indoors with furry friends. I believe in treating your animal in how I treat mines with lots of love. All animals are different and need different levels of support, I want to be able to provide a comfortable environment while they’re away from home.

About: I’ve always been responsible for helping out with my family’s dogs since I was about 10. Growing up, my family owned 6 loving chihuahuas and 2 mixed breed pit bulls. My chores around the house were to help take them out, feed them, bathe them, etc. I have experience with dogs of all ages, as I’ve helped raise puppies (even newborns!) and my childhood senior dog who lived to be 16 years of age. I am currently working part time and go to a university full time. All of my classes are online, so when I’m not working I have plenty of free time to interact with your pet. I follow a schedule with my personal dogs of letting them out every 2-3 hours. I do use consistent alarms on my phone to do so. I love to interact and play with my dogs with tug of war toys, fetch, or taking them to the dog park for a good run. Sometimes I’ll take my dogs with me on quick errand runs so they get to explore a new environment like the pet store or get the opportunity to eat a small pup cup. My dogs do get crated and/or left out when I’m not home. With your pets, I will follow a similar schedule or adapt to whatever your pet might regularly follow at home!

About: I have several years of experience in the biomedical research field where I took care of mice. Administering drugs was a daily task for me. I have also taken care of my romantic partners' pets throughout the years. I am vegan now for several years, so I am deeply committed to treating animals well. I just completed my first cat boarding service, and I discovered that I am very happy taking care of pets at home. I am excited to start hosting more pets! I work from home, so it will be convenient for me to care for your pet(s) throughout the day. I am a freelancer, so I make my own schedule. I can make my schedule around your pets' needs! I maintain a clutter free home where your pet(s) can run inside! There's plenty of light with windows in all rooms. I am vegan for the animals, so you can trust me that I will care for your pet(s) to the best of my ability!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 13, mainly my own, but I’ve also taken care of friend’s and family friend’s dogs in these past 3 years, so I understand the anxiety or fear of leaving a part of your family in the care of someone that isn’t you and won’t treat your pet like you will. That’s why I always adjust and accommodate my services to every pet’s needs. When it comes to basic care of pets, I always take puppies and dogs on walks at whichever time of day that they need to go out, always making sure to bring snacks and water so they always stay hydrated and healthy. I make sure they have enough playtime inside and outside so they don’t get bored and are entertained. I understand that not every dog wants to play or can’t move too much, so I of course adjust these activities to accommodate every pet’s individual needs so they’re always comfortable and happy. I also have experience with senior care, specifically giving dogs the medicines they need at the intended hours of the day or night. It goes without saying that my main priority are the pets in my care so I also make sure to always check up on every pet at different hours and times, rarely leaving them out of my sight (while also keeping my distance if they’re resting) to ensure they’re always okay. I work part-time remotely since I finished university in March of 2024. So I have no issues with times and days that will work best for you and your pets! I care for pets in client’s homes by making sure they’re never missing anything, from food, water, toys, time to go to the bathroom, medicines if they take them, etc… I make sure pets understand I’m simply there as an aid for them and someone they can play with if they choose to! I’m simply there to ensure every pet is taken care of while also having time to play and give them their space, after all, it’s their home and they need to feel the most comfortable and safe in their own space.

I’ve worked with pets of all sizes, ages, and temperaments—from high-energy puppies to senior dogs who just want a cuddle and a calm walk. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or overnight stays, I provide compassionate, reliable care tailored to your pet’s unique needs. I’ve volunteered at animal shelters to ensure your pet is safe and happy at all times. I treat every pet like my own and always aim to make them feel loved and comfortable while you're away. Let’s set up a meet and greet—I’d love to learn more about your pet and how I can help! I’m currently between jobs, which means I have a super flexible schedule and plenty of time to lovingly give your pet the attention they deserve! At home, I treat my pets like family—with lots of love, attention, and a calm, clean environment. I stick to routines, make sure they’re well-fed, played with, and always comfortable. You can expect the same care and respect for your pet—I'll treat them like one of my own, keeping them happy, safe, and stress-free while you're away.

“Cristian is great! We needed some help with lunchtime walks 3x a week for a couple months after a foot surgery, and we feel so lucky to have found Cristian. He is super communicative, took great pics every visit, and wrote up thorough notes about our girl. He is super patient with our high energy girl, and would even jog with her on some days to tire her out! We highly recommend Cristian and will definitely be reaching out to him in the future when we need a dogwalker!”


About: Welcome to Your Pup’s Home Away from Home! With over 15 years of hands-on experience handling dogs of all breeds—from tiny Chihuahuas to powerful Presa Canario Mastiffs—I’m proud to offer personalized, in-home dog daycare and boarding. As the devoted fur dad of three well-socialized Chiweenies, I understand the importance of a safe, loving, and enriching environment for your dog. Whether your pup is playful or shy, high-energy or high-anxiety, they’ll receive patient, one-on-one care and all the affection they deserve. Dogs in my home are treated like family: they’re welcome on the furniture, get plenty of snuggles, and are never short on attention. It would be my honor to be your fur baby’s temporary human while you’re away! My current availability is extremely accommodating with plenty of time to play with and walk your pups. I'll even board on weekends and holidays with same-day reservations. I have three chi-weenies that enjoy a fenced yard, front and back. If needed, I can easily and comfortably crate your pups but they are welcome to be next to me on the sofa or wherever.

About: I’ve taken care of dozens of pets and completed over 1000 services including Sitting and dog walkings. That includes any dogs and cats with sick ailments and otherwise difficult parameters. I’ve also worked at a pet shop before so if you have a particular concern or need for a pet feel free to ask never hurts. I usually walk a mix of different dogs, depending on the week usually larger breeds that are difficult to handle, but I also work with smaller pets that are shy, including cats. I also deal with a sub category of pets that are on medication or older. I have experience with a number of different pets and medication along with certain ailments so feel free to ask me any questions you may have. When it comes to the settings, I usually go off instructions provided by the pet parent as specific as possible to avoid not meeting their requirements. I also tend to act very courteous as most pet parents have a camera so I’m always acting like I’m being watched on TV. It’s better that way, but if you have any questions, feel free to ask.

About: I’m great with communication and patience. I have experience taking care of small-big dogs for years whether it be for family members, my own and to even taking care of a bearded dragon for a few months for school. Nonetheless I do my research beforehand and offer a safe space for your pet with lots of room and privacy I currently work part time and do online school at my own pace. I’m free all week Monday-Sunday mornings-mid day. Late afternoons I take night shifts 3 days out of the week, but for the most part I am free. Communication is very much appreciated I offer an empty floor that no one resides in other than my cat who loves to roam around, in case you would want to separate your pet/s from my own. As I’ve mentioned, I have a gray female tabby(spayed) and a male golden retriever(not fixed).No matter the size my dog is open to playing and enjoys the company of other dogs but if you’d like me to crate or separate by any means, I am able to provide that. Only you know your pet/s best so I’m able to provide any adjustments you’ll need for them and their safety

About: I’ve always had dogs of my own. Currently, I have two older dachshunds both 13 years old and a 7 year old husky mix. A lot of my experience with specialized pet care comes from +3 years from working in animal care in animal shelters, clinics, and boarding facilities. I’m working part-time, however it changes every week so I’ll have to update my schedule weekly. On my days off, I plan to incorporate walks and check in’s into my weekly schedule. If taking care of your pets in your home, I will be very caring and cautious. I will take care if them how I want others to care for my own. I like to make “puzzles” for my dogs with treats to stimulate them.
