About: I’ve been walking dogs for over 5 years, working with both paid clients and through volunteer work in my local community. I’ve handled dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities, including high energy pups and slower moving seniors. One of the most meaningful experiences I had was walking an elderly dog regularly until she simply couldn’t go anymore. As her needs changed, I slowed down our routine, made adjustments to keep her comfortable, and always made sure she felt safe and cared for. What sets me apart is my calm, consistent approach. I prefer to work alone, which means your dog gets my full attention no distractions or split focus. I don’t rush through walks or treat them like a quick chore. I notice small details, follow instructions carefully, and adapt to each dog’s pace and personality. If you’re looking for someone reliable, steady, and fully focused on your dog’s well being, I’m the right fit. Pet care is already a regular part of my daily routine. I walk dogs every morning and plan the rest of my day around those responsibilities, because I’m used to starting my day with dog walks, I’m consistent, dependable, and able to take on new clients without disrupting my flow. I also have flexibility in the afternoons and evenings depending on the day, so I can work with different schedules when needed. When I care for pets in their home, I treat the space with respect and follow any instructions exactly as given. Making sure pets are secure before, during, and after walks, checking gates, doors, leashes, and anything else that keeps them safe. I always double check that water bowls are full and that the pet is comfortable before leave. I don't rush through visits or take shortcuts. Whether I'm walking a dog or stopping by for a drop in, I stay focused on the animal and their needs. I understand how important it is to trust Someone with your pet and your home, and I take that responsibility seriously every time.

About: I have many years of experience in pet care, especially senior care! I’ve worked with both blind and deaf cats and dogs in my past and I love to assist them the best I can. I am also experienced with handling medication and immobile pets that need attention when walking! Although I am a student athlete at the University of Texas at El Paso, I am always ecstatic to branch out and assist others the best I can! I have a pet of my own that I take care of alone, I very much understand the feeling of having a pet at home who hasn’t been out for hours on end while you’re are work, school, etc. I hope to help relieve that stress from pet owners and the pets themselves! Attention and affection are key to a healthy environment. I also believe that a safe and clean environment is necessary for pet owners. In my experience I have had to clean dog bowls that have obviously been neglected when it comes to a good clean!

“Omer was absolutely perfect for watching my two mini goldendoodles! From the moment he met them, he quickly built a genuine connection and earned their trust—no small feat with my two sassy pups. He went above and beyond to make sure they were comfortable, well cared for, and had everything they needed while I was away. I really appreciated the attention he gave to their routine, from walks to treat time, and it was clear they felt safe and happy with him. He also was excellent at sending pictures and keeping me updated. Omer is truly a natural with animals—patient, kind, and clearly an animal lover at heart. I felt totally at ease knowing they were in such good hands. I’ll absolutely be booking him again!”


“Vanessa was a dream sitter! She responded quickly to my initial inquiry and communicated consistently with me. I especially appreciated that she was available during thanksgiving weekend! I truly enjoyed seeing the pictures and videos she sent of our pups during her daily drop-ins. Vanessa was kind, considerate, and compassionate, and that shined through in how our pups were so delighted to see her every day. We will be rebooking Vanessa for our future pet sitting needs. Thank you Vanessa!”


About: As an awarded 2025 Unsung Hero on behalf of the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), I am recognized for embodying excellence, compassion, and quiet leadership in the veterinary and pet care industry. I am a certified veterinary technician with diverse skills and experience in emergency centers, orthopedic surgery, regular veterinary clinics, and shelters, showcasing a strong understanding of animal health and well-being.

This strategy enables me to devote my complete attention and oversight to each individual pet, facilitating a high-quality experience tailored to the unique needs of both the pet and the owner. Prioritizing your pet's health involves comprehensive monitoring of activities, meticulous tracking of fluid and food intake, management of fluid losses, and oversight of prescription regimens. Additionally, incorporating mental enrichment activities is essential for overall well-being. My goal is to ensure your pet thrives in a safe and balanced environment throughout their care.🩺

About: Hi, I’m Jennifer — a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, small mammals, birds, and even large reptiles like desert tortoises. I’ve worked with pets of all breeds, ages, and behaviors, including those with medical needs, quirks, and special routines. Whether it’s a zoomy puppy, a wise senior cat, or a unique reptilian friend, I treat every animal like my own. I offer daily walks, feeding, medication administration, playtime, light grooming, and enriching companionship tailored to each pet’s personality. I’ve also volunteered with rescues, fostered animals, and supported pets through both recovery and aging — so you can trust me with even the most tender care. What I love most? The quiet moments when a pet finally melts into comfort and trust — it’s pure joy. I offer senior pet care and overnight stays, too. If you’re looking for thoughtful, reliable, and personalized attention, I’m your sitter. My husband and I are lifelong animal lovers who work from home full-time, which means we're always nearby to give pets the attention and companionship they deserve. Because we live in a peaceful, walkable neighborhood, we’re able to take dogs on regular, relaxing strolls and offer a calm environment that’s especially comforting for shy or senior animals. Our flexible schedule allows us to adapt to each pet’s needs—whether that’s midday potty breaks, slow meanders, medication reminders, or playful breaks in the yard. Pet care isn’t just something we do... it’s built into the heart of how we live. Pet care in our home is rooted in attentiveness, routine, and a quiet, walkable neighborhood that’s ideal for relaxed outings and sensory-friendly breaks. Because my husband and I work from home full-time, we’re always close by for companionship, supervision, and flexibility in each pet’s schedule. We create a calm, tidy environment with designated rest spaces, secure access points, and plenty of enrichment throughout the day. In a client’s home, I adapt respectfully to your routines and preferences — prioritizing familiarity, consistency, and gentle transitions. Whether administering medication, sticking to a special feeding routine, or giving a nervous pet extra time to warm up, I take pride in being both dependable and sensitive to individual needs. Safety and trust are never afterthoughts — they’re central to everything I do, ensuring every pet feels secure, loved, and truly at ease.
