About: I have been around dogs my whole life. I grew up with a Labrador from the time I was born until I was around 10 years old, and since then I have had two other dogs, including a Great Pyrenees/Golden Retriever mix and a Border Collie mix. Because of this, I have experience with different sizes, breeds, and energy levels, from large dogs that need strong handling to active dogs that need plenty of attention and playtime. I have also dog sat for family and friends before, so I understand how important it is to make sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away. I will always check in frequently with updates, make sure your dog is fed on schedule, take time to play with them, and give them the attention they need. My schedule is very flexible. I am home for the summer from UCSD and currently shadowing a doctor, but I am able to work my schedule around what is best for dog or cat sitting. I am available on both weekdays and weekends, and I can usually make most times work. I will always communicate clearly if I have something planned on a certain day, and I will make sure we figure out a schedule that works best for you and your pet. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my top priority. I will make sure they are cared for, supervised, and given plenty of attention while you are away. I am comfortable playing with pets, throwing tennis balls or toys, taking dogs on walks, letting them outside, and watching them closely while they are out. I will always follow your instructions for feeding, routines, walks, playtime, and any specific needs your pet may have. I understand how important it is to keep pets on their normal schedule, so I will make sure they are fed on time and cared for in a safe, responsible, and loving environment.

And All the animals like me, and I have so many years experience with pet. I can easily get along with good relationships with your pets.

About: I have always had pets growing up and love both dogs and cats! I’ve lived in socal for 10 years now and just moved to sunset beach, where I plan on getting a dog when my landlord allows it. For now, though, I’ll give your pets all my love and attention! I work a full time job and will be available some weeknights, but primarily weekends. Animal sitting, walking.. etc. I need more animals in my life and this is my first step in that direction! I treat pets better than humans in most cases, as I’m sure you do too. They are extensions of our family that offer unconditional love, and deserve the same in return.

About: I have been taking care of many animals all my life. I have taken care of pretty much every pet you can think of from pigeons, cats, dogs, lizards, bunnies, all, and all the way to horses and cows. Needless to say I have a lot of experience and would love to help out in anyway I can! I am a member of the United States Coast Guard, and have a pretty set schedule Monday through Thursday. I am able to do mornings before nine and afternoons after two. I will not be able to take animals back to my place unfortunately seeing as my apartment has strict rules against animals being in my apartment complex complex

About: I am a dog owner to two of my own. My oldest is 10 and I’ve couldn’t find something that gives me the most joy in taking care of them and playing with them. I also have 5 years experience with fostering all kinds of puppies and dogs. This experience fostering allowed me to learn how to take care of dogs that aren’t my own. It also showed me how to comfort, play, and love all kinds of dogs. I am currently a college student home for the summer and have plenty of time on my hands. I also have my own car to make travel easier. My weeks are mostly free, which leads to plenty of free time on my hands at any time of day. I always make sure to create a trusting environment for not only the dogs but for the clients as well. I understand how leaving your dogs with someone can be scary, so I try to create a trusting and caring relationship with everyone involved. I also never try to overstep with dogs and clients. In terms of taking care of the dogs and instructions, I make sure to listen to all of the clients’ wants and needs and make sure they all get fulfilled in order for the best outcome for the dogs and clients.

About: I truly believe in the importance of genuine care! Since animals can't verbally express their needs or emotions, I prioritize bonding with them, understanding their behaviors and cues. Building trust is paramount; your pet needs to feel safe and comfortable with me before any service is provided. I run my own business and find that I have ample free time to offer my services to our community while also making a few more furry friends! When providing care at the client's home, I ensure to familiarize myself with the pet's surroundings, maintaining their routine and environment as much as possible. This helps reduce stress and anxiety for the pet, fostering a sense of security and familiarity. Additionally, I adhere to any specific instructions provided by the pet owner to ensure the highest level of care and comfort for their beloved furry friend.

“Jacqueline is awesome with my dogs and I am so glad I found her. I had the same dog walker for 8 years and had to find a new one. I am super impressed with her.”

“Lindsey is so great and takes awesome care of my two dogs! I have two large breed dogs and she walks them and takes them for hikes so they get plenty of exercise. They are always tired when we get home from work the days she's walked them and they immediately loved her when she came for the meet and great. I highly recommend her and will be using her in the future!”

About: I am an animal lover through and through! I started pet sitting for family and loved it so much I decided to make it a job! I have experience with overnight sitting of anxious pups that require medication administration as well as dog walking with both small and large breeds. I have two indoor cats that I have been responsible for since kittens. I’m a first year college student at ASU and taking minimal classes so what better way to fill my time in then playing and watching animals! I keep my cats indoor and if requested I will make sure any animal is kept inside by owners request. Need to go outside? Love walking! I will take your dogs around the block!

“Great 2nd walk. All 3 of my big dogs like her and the intact male Great Pyrenees accepted her as the leader and did not try to jump on her today. We’re off to a great start.”

Working with dogs is truly her passion, and we love getting to know every dog’s unique personality. She previously worked for a professional dog walking company that focuses on structured walks, which means your dog gets a walk that is not only fun but also calm, safe, and mentally enriching. We are comfortable handling dogs of different sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. In addition to walking dogs professionally, she also volunteer rehabilitating rescue dogs, helping them build confidence, good habits, and trust. Because of this experience, she is especially patient with shy, anxious, or high-energy dogs. I work during nights so we are both home during the day to take care of your pups. Our goal is always to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and cared for, while also providing the structure and exercise they need 24/7.
