About: I've taken care of a variety of dogs with different needs including senior dogs. I found my love for dog sitting in undergrad and over time I became the go-to dog sitter for the professors at my university. My professors knew me as a hardworking, trustworthy student that would take care of their pets with the upmost care! I've taken care of my parent's dogs as well and have experience caring for dogs with extreme anxiety. I am a grad student on summer break who is free during the week to dog sit! For overnight sitting, day sitting, and walks I am available from Monday evening to Friday evening. Weekends vary, typically I am available for walks and shorter check ins. Occasionally, I can do longer day sitting and overnight stays. Once the semester starts my schedule will change but I will still have plenty of time during the week to dog sit! While staying in my client's home overnight or visiting for day sitting/walks I make sure to treat their home and their dog with respect and follow any rules they have set in place for me. With a new client I make sure to ask important questions and get the information I need to take care of their dog in the best way possible!

About: The best medicine is the unconditional love of your pet, I love dogs. I will take good care of him and I will play with them! I currently work part time, I will have plenty of time and space to play with them!! I am available from 8am to 1pm and at night I am responsible, friendly and affectionate, I will give you all my attention and I will make them happy with me! I love dogs and cats!

“I always feel such peace of mind when Julia comes over to walk our pup. I also really appreciate her flexibility of my very unpredictable schedule. 9 times out of 10 she’s been able to accommodate our last minute requests which goes so much further than she knows. I know our little guy Hank is safe with Julia and I have and will continue to book her in the future. Thank you for all that you do!”

About: I’ve grown up helping care for my family’s three chihuahuas, from daily walks to feeding, playtime, and lots of cuddles. I understand the importance of keeping pets happy, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I’m attentive, reliable, and excited to give your furry friends the care and companionship they deserve! I’m currently a part-time online college student and enrolled in a full-time, in-person IT training program Monday–Friday. I’m available for pet care on weekends, and I’m happy to provide walks, feeding, and playtime around your pet’s routine. I’m reliable and committed to giving your pets consistent attention and care.

About: Animals have been a part of my life since childhood — I grew up surrounded by dogs, cats. My love for them led me to pursue a veterinary degree, which I completed in Russia. I’ve worked in veterinary clinics and volunteered at animal shelters, caring for pets of all ages, breeds, and temperaments — from playful puppies to gentle seniors. I’m trained in giving medications, injections, and monitoring pets with special needs. I know how to keep animals calm, safe, and happy — whether it’s a short visit or an overnight stay. What sets me apart is my veterinary background, quiet and patient approach, and genuine love for animals. I treat every pet with the same care and attention I would give my own. I work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule. This allows me to easily fit pet care into my daily routine and be available for walks, visits, or sitting throughout the day. I'm happy to adjust to your pet's specific needs and routine — whether it's early mornings, midday walks, or evening cuddles. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always respect their space and routines. I follow all instructions closely — from feeding schedules and medications to favorite toys or quiet time. I take time to build trust with each pet and ensure they feel safe and comfortable. During walks, I prioritize safety at all times — I use secure leashes, avoid high-stress areas, and always walk at the dog’s pace. Whether it’s a slow stroll or a more active outing, I adjust to the dog’s energy level and needs. I’m also attentive to weather conditions and paw safety. My veterinary background helps me recognize signs of stress, discomfort, or potential health issues. I care for every pet with patience, responsibility, and a deep understanding of their physical and emotional well-being.

About: I am 26 years old and I have taken care of all types of dogs my entire life. From owing my own Rottweiler, to caring for a brand new puppy. I take care of dogs of all ages and needs because nothing is better than making a tail wag. I am open to taking care of other animals during my daily visits or walks. As long as the tasks are simple enough I don’t mind! I am currently open to work so my schedule is free during the week. I am open anytime during the day for any important pet needs. (Unless specified otherwise) I own a lovely Rottweiler with a fenced in yard. He has a lot of space to run around and chase the squirrels. I am here to provide trust and respect to you and your pets. So whatever you need me todo to I am here to make you and your pets day.
