“Ashton was so nice and patient with my dog, he is very anxious and not always the friendliest but she did a great job with Apollo, and Apollo seemed to also be very confortable around her, we will continue to use her services as we were very pleased!!!😄”

About: Been taking care of animals since I was a kid. I’ve had cats and digs growing up my entire life! I love to be active and walk and have free time and would love to be around animals I am Flexible all week and weekend when in town. I do travel often. Want to stay busy when I am in town and love animals! I can do whatever is needed. I have a fenced in yard and crate of my own. I only crate mine now when needed but that is not often as he is older. I only have one of my dogs with me at my home as my other dog is with my mother in my home town.

“Carolina is great! Our dog loves her and she has always been on time and even cleaned up after our dog had an accident in the house, 10/10 recommend!”

“Jewels was wonderful. She did a meet and greet prior to the actual dog walking appointment. That really impressed me. She also faced numerous challenges with my condo complex and access. But she overcame them with no problems. She also kept me informed about everything with my dog. Cant say enough good about her. I highly recommend Jewel.”

About: My name is Alaska (Angelina) Barnard, and I provide affordable, quality care for your furry friends! As a former Animal League volunteer, my day job is non-profit HR - but my true passion is working with animals. My goal is to offer professional, personalized care to your pets in the comfort of their own home. Meal prep, walks, medication, play time, and general care are included; and of course, I will always text/email you photos of your pet if requested. :) I have experience with large dogs, elderly dogs, food aggression, social anxiety, and abused pets - whatever the situation, everyone’s needs will be met. (Theirs AND yours.) Please feel free to let me know during our initial consultation what I can do to make you and your fur friends more comfortable. :) Thank you for considering me! Former animal rescue volunteer, previous dog-sitting, breed-specific training. Why I love dog sitting I've loved dogs since I was a little girl! When I was growing up, my grandmother and extended family took in rescue pets; so I learned to love and appreciate animals from a young age! I work 9am-5pm, hybrid remote. :) Non-profit HR is my field, but I have quite a bit of free time out of office when I decide to take it. I will reach out for an initial visit/consultation in your home or in a public place so that you can get to know me, ask me questions about myself and my experience, and develop a rapport that you can feel good about. My goal is to put your mind at ease, whatever that looks like for you.

“Briana does a great job walking my girl. I highly recommend her!!”

About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals and have two of my cats who do not currently live with me. one I’ve cared for over six years. I’m easy to work with, dependable, and especially patient with senior pets. I gained a lot of experience helping care for my grandma’s senior dog, as well as two crazy pugs (so i can handle anything). Whether it’s dogs or cats, I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m currently working Friday, Saturday, and Sunday! Saturday i am busy all day, but Friday and Sunday available after 6. I am free to help with whatever you need throughout the week. When caring for pets in their home, I treat them like family. I carefully follow any care instructions, feeding, walks, medication, and spend quality time giving them attention and comfort to help them feel safe and loved while their owners are away.

About: I have always had a dog in my life since I was born but my caretaking journey started when a little corgi entered into my world. She was an escape artist, food fiend, she couldn’t be left for too long and she battled anxiety her whole life, but she brought me the most joy. She taught me attentiveness, and limitless love. She recently crossed the rainbow bridge so I have been missing the presence of my fury friend but am excited to hang out with doggies again!!! Skills include: puppy care, senior care, special needs. I am a grad student and my weekends are usually free. I have class 9-5:30pm tue-fri. Mondays are always free. As of now my summer is completely open for bookings. I appreciate a list of instructions specifically stating your pets schedule and needs. The more detailed the better:) I love to take videos and pictures to keep you updated through the process. I know how important it is to have peace of mind when leaving your baby with a stranger.

About: I grew up in a house full of dogs and I learned from an early age, what responsible, attentive animal care truly looks like. My mom is a retired veterinarian, and I worked as a veterinary assistant in her practice throughout my teenage years and into adulthood. Through that experience, I became comfortable and confident with administering oral medications, giving injections, monitoring, recovery, and recognizing signs of illness or discomfort. I understand how important routines, safety, and communication are when caring for someone’s dog. Whether your dog is young and energetic, senior, or requires medication, I am able to provide knowledgeable, attentive care with a calm and compassionate approach. Your dogs, health, comfort and happiness are always my top priorities. I work part time in the mornings, which means most of my afternoons and evenings are free and flexible for pet care. This allows me to provide consistent attention, timely walks, drop ins, feedings, and medications administration as needed. When caring for pets in their home, my priority is maintaining their normal routine in a safe, calm, and low stress environment. A carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, medication, exercise, and household rules, so your pet experiences as little disruption as possible. With my veterinary assistant background, I’m comfortable monitoring behavior and recognizing early signs of stress or illness. I will always communicate promptly if anything seems unusual and provide regular updates with photos, so you can feel confident and at ease while you are away.

About: I have taken care of dogs since very young. I know how to treat and train them. I have dog training experience. I enjoy being around any kind of animals. I currently have an open schedule. I have a flexible schedule spending most time at home with my 2 furry babies. I enjoy caring for pets by getting them outside, exercise, and lots of play time. I take good care of my dogs by giving them all the attention that they need and taking them at least 4 times a day for long walks.

About: What Sets Me Apart 🐾 I’ve spent years working closely with animals of all kinds—dogs, cats, reptiles, and more. 🧒🐶 For nearly a decade, I ran the summer camp at my local Humane Society, caring for animals daily and teaching kids how to do the same. 🐕‍🦺 I’ve raised dogs my whole life and once cared for seven huskies—from newborn pups to seniors. 😺 I have plenty of experience with cats, including shy ones, playful ones, and those who need extra patience. What sets me apart is my mix of hands-on experience, dependability, and a calm, respectful approach to each pet’s personality. Whether it’s drop-ins or keeping them company while you’re away, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for in their own space. I have a flexible work schedule and plenty of time for pet care. I also go on lots of walks, so your pup will get plenty of fresh air and exercise! 🐕‍🦺🌳 When I care for pets in a client’s home, I always prioritize their comfort, routine, and safety. 🏡 I follow all instructions closely—whether it’s feeding, medication, or favorite spots for walks or naps. I make sure doors, gates, and anything hazardous are secure, and I take the time to build trust with each pet so they feel calm and cared for while you’re away. 🐾

About: I got my first dog when I was 4 years old and have ever since had dogs in my life. Whether mine, friends, or finding fur mates to walk and puppy sit. I love to travel so don’t have any of my own but wherever I go I make sure I have a running/ walking/ snuggle bud close by. I have cared for puppies, small dogs, elderly dogs, and very large dogs whom needed extra care. I’ve administered ear and allergy medication and my best friend is a Veterinarian so she has always been very helpful with any questions I’ve had. I’ve cared for cats as well. I’ve lived with 4 different cats and have watched 2 others but have never had one of my own. I enjoy running, hikes, and walks on the beach so it’s always nice to have a buddy to have tag along. I enjoy throwing the ball and I love teaching dogs new tricks! I’m very patient and persistent so I have done well with training if I’ve had quality time with them. I really love animals and getting paid to hang out with them is literally a dream. I would love to care for your pet and make a new friend ☺️. I am pretty flexible! Just message me with any scheduling questions that you may have! I am available most weekends and some of the holidays :) I care for dogs in clients home, but can board cats. I cannot board dogs cause the condo I live in does not allow it.

“Erica was amazing taking care of Winston! She was very communicative, sent lots of pictures and updates, was on time, and really took care of him. I really appreciated being able to leave him all day knowing he would get a good walk with her. I would definitely use her again. Thank you so much!”
