About: I’ve been around dogs most of all my life. I’ve pet sit pugs occasionally throughout highschool, and have experience giving some medications. Our household furbaby Mila has a history of tremors thought to be seizures, so I have experience with the protocol when seizures and tremors do occur. I currently only have a single online class so my schedule is more than open to take care of your pups in the ways that you need. I have an asynchronous class so if I am house sitting, I can multitask snuggling your pups as work on my studies. If your dog is more active, that’s no issue! While your pup is in my care, I am more than happy to focus solely on your pup according to wants and needs you mention. If your dog needs to be active, I’d love to incorporate thier needs to be physical and get a workout along with them!:)

Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or a quiet walk, I’m here to give your furry friend the attention and care they deserve—just like they’re part of my own family. I’m currently going to school and work a gig security job so i’m available weekends and Fridays so why not take care of something I love the most animals. I make sure your pet is safe and comfortable, whether at my place or yours. At my home, there’s plenty of space to play and relax.

About: Hi! I’m Fabiano — a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, and more. Pets have always been an important part of my life, bringing joy, comfort, and unconditional love. A couple years ago I lost my sweet toy poodle after 15 wonderful years together. Starting this job is my way of staying close to animals and sharing the same care and affection I gave to her. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I promise to treat them as my own — with love, patience, and attention to every detail. Your pet will be in great hands. Thank you for trusting me! Caring for animals is something that naturally fits into my daily life — it doesn’t feel like a task, but something I truly enjoy. I plan my days with flexibility to make sure I can give pets the time, attention, and care they deserve. Whether it’s going for walks, feeding, playing, or just spending quiet time together, I always make sure their needs come first. Pet care is not a side job for me — it’s something I do with heart and dedication. I currently offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet care at the client’s home. My focus is to make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for in their own environment. I carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs they may have. I respect your space and your pet’s routine, always keeping things clean, calm, and stress-free. Whether it’s a quick check-in or a nice walk, I make sure your pet gets my full attention and affection every time.

About: "I’ve cared for dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets..." I'm available full-time as I am self-employed and work from home. I have plenty of time and energy to have fun with your pet while you're away.

“Justina is fantastic! I have three rescues, medium sized, who are strong willed. Justina was able to make a quick connection with all three, overcoming anxiety and caution is my spoiled dogs. She easily handled them on an hour long walk, understanding their preferences and patterns and managing their behavior. I think she has a gift in connecting with animals, and I feel fortunate to have found her. She is also good with overindulgent dogs parents.”
“Veronique was super accommodating for our first meet and greet! She has been super patient with our rescue pup, who is not quick to trust anyone new. She was very understanding of her rough past, and was SO GOOD WITH HER. I can't recommend her enough!”
