Alex is very the best! He is very patient and kind. My dog Max can be a little rambunctious at times but Alex knows how to handle him with kindness. Max loves his walks and gets so excited to see Alex.

About: I’ve had pets my whole life. From cats and dogs to goats and rats. I have training knowledge because I have a background in zookeeping. I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule currently. I am available Monday through Friday 11:30-8 but I can do earlier or later if needed. I am only able to offer drop in visits and watching pets in your home. I have cats of my own and don’t want them to be stressed.

About: Hello, I've had dogs my whole life. I currently have one little Frenchie and sometimes help with my daughter’s father’s dog training facility. I’m open to walking and boarding dogs if needed. I currently work from home and live right by a huge dog friendly park. Very easy to take them out as I already take mines out about 4 or 5 times a day. I live in a one story house with a fenced yard and your fur babies are free to roam around or which ever you prefer.

After my initial meeting with Ann-Marie I felt very secure with leaving Mia in her hands while I’m at work. Ann-Marie has been walking Mia during the week for a few months now and has proven to be very professional, consistent, responsible, and truly cares about Mia’s well being. I would 100% recommend her to for your pet care needs.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of medium size to small since I was 9. Family friends, family. I do bath and walk my dogs daily. I’m not working any job at the moment so I am free daily or weekly. However some weekends I’m not free do to family visits. I have a fenced yard where they can run around and play or use the bathroom the German shepherd passed away so the only dog around is the Yorker he’s friendly and likes to play but he mostly likes to just be on his own.

This was my first time having Gagandeep walk my dog, but I will surely use him again! He was on time, prompt, pleasant to talk to and got on fine with my dog! Highly recommend him! Might also add that my dog is not small. He is a big, energetic dog! And he came home happy and tired -- which is what I hoped for!

About: Hey there! I'm a very loving and friendly individual who would love to spend time with your pets/companions while you're away! I have more than 10+ years of experience with dogs and would definitely treat them like they’re my own. Why stress and worry when you have someone who truly cares about your pets/companions. They will be safe and sound. Why I love dog sitting: I’ve always had a passion for taking care of animals, especially dogs because they’ve actually helped me go through this tough life and being around them makes me feel like I have a purpose. I'm looking forward to speaking with you soon and hope to be your future dog sitter! Also, feel free to ask me any other questions, thanks! I do this full-time! The pack loves to venture off to the beach, parks, etc. I typically offer pack walks M-F when clients go to work. We have a spacious VIP room and a backyard for your pup. They’ll feel like they’re at their second home! All breeds are welcomed! :)

About: I’ve taken care of Princess for 12yrs . I grew up with a big family of pet lovers . My home for years have been the one everyone comes to on the weekend to bbq in and ofc all our furry babies are running around. I have a flexible part time job so I am free early mornings and throughout the day to go play with your pets and take them out. I also have a big home and yard if they need to come over to not stay home alone . I have a home with all fenced yard and I no longer have anymore pets , so they are free to roam around in the backyard or if they’re inside dogs they can definitely have in and out access all day to cuddle inside when they want or go get some sun and play. I’m definitely mindful on making sure you feel comfortable with me in your home if needed and would ofc go over to play and take care of your pet in the comfort of their home.

About: I have taken care of dogs ever since I was 9 & I begged my mom to buy me one and I had to show how responsible I actually was. I also dog sat for Ringo Starr’s stepson during Christmas time while he went out of town when I was 15. I am currently working part time so I have more than enough time on my hands to hang out with pups! I am usually available upon request as well! I love spending time with fur babies, love going on walks, & also giving them cuddles. I am very responsible so any instructions you may have, I am more than happy to follow them

About: I have experience taking care of dogs because I grew up with them. Being around dogs has always felt natural to me, so I understand the basics of feeding them, walking them, playing with them, keeping them comfortable, and paying attention to what they need. I’m gentle, patient, and attentive, but I’m also playful, so I enjoy making sure dogs are not just cared for, but actually happy and engaged. I know every dog has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I would always respect the owner’s instructions and take time to understand what works best for their dog. I’m currently in college and home for the summer, so my schedule is very open and flexible. I’m available for walks, playtime, drop-ins, and consistent care throughout the week. I’m happy to work with your dog’s routine and make scheduling easy for you. I care for pets by keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. In a client’s home, I would follow their instructions carefully, whether that includes feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medication, or general house rules. I want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. For walks or visits, I would stay aware of my surroundings, keep dogs secure on their leash, avoid unsafe situations, and pay attention to how they’re acting. My goal is for the pet to feel cared for and for the owner to feel relaxed knowing their dog is safe and in good hands.

Cassandra has been taking care of my boys since early May. She is reliable, punctual, thoughtful, and caring. During their first week together, she left me a Polaroid photo of my boy, which was such a nice surprise. I really appreciated the photo and the text updates she sent. Thank you, Cassandra! Monty is always happy to see you and enjoys your visits.

Desiree’ was absolutely amazing. My Belgian Malinois is a high energy and aggressive breed. Desiree’ demonstrated great poise and assertiveness when walking and visiting Tre while I was out of the country. Tre grew a close relationship with her fairly quicker than his past dog walkers. 10/10 highly recommend

Charlie did an amazing job taking care of Nova! He was so encouraging and patient with her, helping her feel comfortable enough to go to the bathroom during their walk. He took her on a lovely, calm walk where she was able to relax, explore, and get some good exercise. By the time they got back, Nova was completely tired out in the best way—happy, settled, and ready to go right to sleep. You can tell Charlie really cares about the pets he looks after and makes sure they feel safe and well cared for. I would definitely trust him again!

Extremely patient and kind with my very reactive bully. Was attentive to surroundings during our walk and always looking for the best path to navigate Echo around and away from other dogs. She is now (finally) wiped out and sleeping on the couch after a mile and a half walk on the trails.

Amazing! My pup is a timid and shy girl by nature and does not take to people as quickly. Often times she will need to take a while in the same space with cautious sniffs before warming up, but she took to Ashley in minutes! Even my cat who is the most fearful thing in the world (hides at everything) came out to see her :). Ina's walks were great. She came back tired and panting and spent the rest of the day sleeping while I was able to work. Will be booking again!
