About: I’ve dealt with pets of all kinds. Big, small, medium, and ones that aren’t potty trained. However, I love all animals! You’re pet will be my top priority, and they will be in good hands for the duration of time that I am needed! As a college freshman on summer break, I have plenty of time on my hands to tend to your pet. Even after finding a job, your pet will be my priority! I own a mini-dachshund who you will find either bubbling with energy, or basking in the sunshine in the back yard. His activity level is completely dependent on our behavior! Thanks to his loving personality, he is always by our side and being loved. He has free access to water whenever he needs it and is fed twice per day. Rocky would never run away, as his he too emotionally attached and can’t stand to be alone for even five minutes!

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and currently have three dogs and two cats of my own. Growing up, I gained a lot of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. My mom is a veterinarian, so I’ve learned the importance of proper animal care, safety, and recognizing when something may not be right. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply sticking to their routine, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care. I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I can often accommodate last-minute requests. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so I make it a priority to give each pet the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. As a lifelong pet owner with three dogs and two cats, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. I always follow owners’ instructions carefully, maintain a clean and secure environment, and pay close attention to each pet’s individual needs and personality. Having grown up with a veterinarian as a parent, I’m comfortable recognizing signs of stress or illness and know the importance of responsible, attentive care. I’ll treat your pet as if they were my own.

About: I’ve taken care of pit bulls, golden retrievers, and tabby cats! Entrusted by friends and family with their pets, I’ve learned that I have a great affinity for animals (maybe more than I do for people) I currently work evenings at a restaurant, and I’m searching for daytime employment as we speak. In the meantime, I’m open to daytime supervision of animals as well as overnights after work. I have a fenced-in yard and a very docile and friendly golden retriever. She’s 11 and gets along with every animal she meets. When taking care of a pet at client’s homes, I prioritize leaving it in the same or better condition than I found it.

About: I have experience caring for dogs in many ways, including: dog walking, play dates with other dogs, overnight dog sitting when the family is traveling and need help to stay with the dog those days they are away from home, or sometimes I have the authorization to bring them to my house, and daytime care. Through those years taking care of dogs I had a privilege to take care of 3/4 dogs at the same time, providing individualized attention and care to each furry companion. Dedicated to providing love and affection, I ensure that every dog in my care receives utmost comfort and attention. Prioritizing your dog's happiness and safety, our time together includes enjoyable walks in the park, fun playdates with other pups, and plenty of cuddles. Rest assured, your furry friend will always be in capable and caring hands with me. I'm currently working part-time, having time to dedicate to the dogs under my care. I prioritize their well-being by scheduling regular walks, play sessions, and ensuring they receive the attention they need throughout the day. I adjust my schedule to fit their needs, whether it's taking them for walks in the morning before I start work, checking in on them during the day, or spending quality time cuddling with them in the evening. Taking care of these furry friends isn't just a duty for me, it's a source of joy and fulfillment that enriches my daily life. In my house, I provide secure, worry-free environment for your beloved pets. I have a medium fenced backyard where I can take the dog to go potty and a great and friendly dog neighbor. My priority is to give the pet attention and make sure they will have love, and protection the whole stay!

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and started walking dogs when I was 12 years old, giving me years of hands-on experience caring for animals. I’ve also done overnight pet sitting for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. I’m a true animal lover who genuinely enjoys spending time with pets and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. My family and I have a 1 year old puppy who requires constant attention, so I spend most of my time with her. Caring for dogs has been a part of my daily and weekly routine for as long as I can remember. We have a large backyard with invisible fence, so I'm familiar with most safety technology. I also have experience with crates, so I would be happy to crate your dog if needed.

About: I grew up with a Tervuren Belgian Shepherd and a Havanese as my absolute best friends, so I truly know what it’s like to manage dogs of all kinds, from big, high-energy working breeds to the smallest companions. As the self-proclaimed world’s biggest dog lover, I’ll treat your pet exactly like my own. Whether we're going for a long walk or just snuggling on the couch, their happiness and safety are my top priorities. Why I’m a great fit for your pup: ⁃ I’m experienced and physically equipped to handle dogs who pull on walks. I’m comfortable with different type of walking gear and behavioral techniques to keep our strolls safe and fun. ⁃  I’ve cared for my own and others' pets through all life stages, from the 'zoomie' puppy years to the gentle, specialized care senior dogs need. ⁃ I’m a trusted choice: other owners have trusted me to walk, dogsit, and help train their dogs for over 6 years now, and I’d love to do the same for you! ⁃ Whether you have one pup or a whole pack, I’m comfortable managing multiple dogs at once. ⁃ I’m fluent in English, Spanish, and Italian, and I’m happy to communicate in whichever language is most comfortable for you. I know how important it is to find the right person for your furry best friend. I’d love to set up a free Meet & Greet so we can make sure I’m the perfect match for your dog’s personality! I’m currently finishing my last semester at George Washington University. As a graduating senior, my classes are less of a commitment, so I have plenty of time to help care for your pet! I’m available on Mondays and Fridays, Wednesdays before 5 p.m., and some weekday evenings for walks or any other care your dog may need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’m careful to use secure leashing, pay attention to weather and walking conditions, and tailor care to each dog’s age, energy level, and personality. For drop-ins and house sitting, I follow routines closely, respect your home, and provide regular updates and photos so you always know your pet is in good hands.
