About: Hi! I’m Shalesa, a lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I grew up around dogs and currently have two fur babies of my own, Laila and Deuce, who are a huge part of my family. I previously worked as a receptionist at a veterinary clinic, where I gained valuable knowledge about pet care, health, and safety. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I have regularly pet sat for family members and friends over the years, giving me experience with puppies, adult dogs, senior dogs, and dogs with different temperaments and needs. I understand that every dog is unique, and I strive to provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment while you’re away. Whether your pup loves playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’m committed to treating them like one of my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I currently work full-time Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. However, I have the flexibility to come home during my lunch break for potty breaks, walks, feeding, and check-ins if needed. Outside of work hours, I am available for morning, evening, and weekend care. I strive to keep pets on their normal routine and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, love, and care while their owners are away. 🐾💕 I live in a pet friendly apartment with 2 friendly furr babies, I have a lot of space. We frequently go to the dog park to get exercise and take long walks. 🐾💕

About: Hi there! My name is Olivia and I have been a dog sitter for 10+ years, but an animal lover for my entire life. I would love the opportunity to care for your baby like they are my own while you are away. I have an 11 year old Yorkie named Bella who stills plays all day with the energy of a puppy. I am only able to host small dogs within my home and my baby would love to have a friend her size running around here. However, I am happy to care for any type/size dog within your home and for walks. I am currently working only two days a week so I have plenty of availability to care for your babies like they are my own! I have a fenced in yard with lots of area for your pup to run around! I also have a stroller available for any small/medium dog that is unable to do a full walk so they can still be included in the experience!

“Laura is a great sitter! She was prompt, communicated, and followed instructions to a tee. She went above and beyond to make sure me and my pup were comfortable and satisfied. I hope to work with her again in the future!”

“Sarah was amazing! She took such good care of our pup! She treated him like family, took him on long walks, kept him fed, played with him and sent lots of pictures from every visit. I would highly recommend Sarah to keep you pet if you go on vacation or away for a long weekend! This was well worth my peace of mind and our dog being able to stay in his home. ??”

About: I have had a dog since I was 10, and have taken care of him my whole life and still do in his senior years. I also have helped with my neighbors dogs by walking them and playing with them. I have done this since I was about 10 as well. I am new to dog sitting, but I think it will be very fun! Until the 12th, I am working as a camp counselor. My hours are 7:30-3:00, but I am happy to see a pet before I work for about 30 minutes, and for however long I need to after I work! I’m also happy to come at night. I am happy to do whatever is needed! I am good with senior dogs as I have one myself, but I’m also happy to play with younger pups and walk and take them out for the bathroom when available. I will also obviously feed them and give them medicine if needed.

“Sidney is wonderful with Rico! He loves his weekly walks with her and gets so excited to see her. I know he is in great hands when he is with her.”

About: As a pet owner, I am very aware of the responsibilities we tend to neglect during our working hours or general time away from home. Whether it be exercise, bathing, bathroom breaks, or just tender love and care; I can provide services to assist. I will cater to each and every pet's needs per request and be sure to fulfill those duties professionally. I have worked with a variety of cats, dogs, birds, and other mammalian household pets. With my experience I can assure you quality care and prompt work to ensure a great bond between myself, pet owner, and pet. I am absolutely committed to excellence in pet sitting. I wish to provide the best care with love that your pets need and deserve!

About: I have taken care of my dog since I was a kid have been around different dog breeds my whole life I’m excited to see your pet. I’m currently using this as my job I’m free for house sitting and walks through out the whole week. I’d love to come out and play with your pets. I’d love to be able to get to know your pet and take them on loving walks give them plenty of treats if diet allows it. Multiple pets is not a problem for me either.

About: I’ve been caring for animals since my family adopted our first pet when i was 5 years old! There’s something so special about caring for a pet, to love on and care for an animal is the most rewarding/special privilege! Caring for your animal really is a way I’ve come up with saving my marriage, since my husband has cut me off at 4 animals and won’t allow me to have a small farm in our back yard in the city limits😂 but trust me, if it was up to me, I’d love on ten acres of land and open an animal sanctuary! I am also a mental health therapist, and i personally trained our youngest pup to meet requirements to be a certified therapy dog. He comes to sessions with me almost every day! I work ten minutes from home and rarely work more than four hours at a time, making my schedule perfect for frequent play times and potty breaks! I am a regular runner, it’s my favorite form of exercise. I have all the equipment necessary to take your pup on a run with me! That would be such a joy! Thank you for your consideration and for trusting me with your little family members! Truly, i can’t wait to meet them!❤️ feel free to reach out with questions or more information! I work ten minutes from home and rarely work more than four hours at a time, making my schedule perfect for frequent play times and potty breaks! I am a regular/daily runner, it’s my favorite form of exercise. I have all the equipment necessary to take your pup on a run with me! That would be such a joy! I have a large fenced in back yard and two well behaved pups of my own to keep your dog company! I think having my own dogs is beneficial to me caring for your dogs best because i live my daily life mindful of my own dogs’ needs. I’d love to be trusted with your pup as well!! My dogs are house trained and mostly stay inside to free roam while we are away. They sleep inside as well(mostly on top of us in our bed, haha). Your pup would be welcome to any and all privileges that my dogs enjoy! Or if you have special instructions, I’d love to work with you to accommodate to keep your dog on their normal routine.

About: I've taken care of a wide variety of cats and dogs from a young age. Even working at a pet store and under the wing of professional animal care. I am currently in college and can accept care during weekends and some weekdays, Tuesdays and Thursdays are good from mornings til 2pm. Mondays and Wednesdays after 4pm - 8pm ( Fridays Are okay on base to base schedule) I stay in a dorm, so home sitting wouldn't work for me. Working for my clients your pet will be safe and well taken care of.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was about 11 years old. I cared for my dogs and my neighbors, friends, and family pets. I am currently working full time so I would be able to care for your pets and give my undivided full attention Friday through Monday. I have an open, big backyard and a front yard for play time and I can also crate your pet if it’s needed or wanted.

“My dogs love Lauren! Super reliable and always has great communication! Our family is so grateful for her”

About: Hey I've taken care of many pets. Some of them are 3 dogs 3 cats, guinea pigs, and rabbits. I work part time so I have time for pets day or evening. I know scheduling can get crazy too so don’t hesitate to contact for a last minute booking. I also like to jog so if your pet likes to run I can incorporate that. I work part time so I have time for pets day or evening. I also like to jog so if your pet likes to run I can incorporate that. Caring for a pet is the practice of unconditional empathy. It’s the ritual of the morning walk, the comfort of a head on your lap after a long day, and the commitment to stay by their side through the energetic "zoomies" of youth and the quiet slowdown of old age.

“Cordia did an amazing job with Suzy! Amazing pictures, long walks. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone else!”

About: I have had dogs my whole life, grew up on a farm, rescued and cared for animals of all kinds. I am a traveling nurse, i take my dog everywhere. I am a travel nurse, i am gone 6 days and home 8 days. I’m available throughout everyday, i am home. I am available anytime morning or night. I can feed, give meds, take for walks, pretty much anything the animal needs or requires. I love caring for animals and this allows me to help others.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 10. My family and friends have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and stay overnight with their pets. I would be a great help and it would be an honor!! I have 2 dogs & 2 cats of my own as well. I work remote full time in Marketing with a lot of flexibility. Because of this, I have a lot of time throughout my day to go on pet walks and bathroom breaks. Working remotely also allows for overnight stays when needed as long as there is a wifi connection! My dogs and cats are all fed day and night, played with often, and cared for as needed. I’m very experienced with animals so I know how to cater and take care of them well.

About: I’ve been working with dogs for over 19 years and provide a structured, calm, and safe environment in my home. I have a dedicated dog room with secure kennels, supervised interaction, and clear boundaries. I currently own and train multiple dogs, including a fully trained service animal and another dog I’ve personally raised and developed. This gives me strong experience with behavior, energy management, and different personalities. Dogs in my care are treated like family, but with structure. They can enjoy comfort like furniture once they demonstrate respectful behavior and cleanliness. I do not allow destructive or uncontrolled habits. I’m comfortable with puppies and can reinforce basic training, routine, and good behavior during their stay. I also provide advanced training reinforcement as part of my care. Dogs naturally work on obedience, confidence, impulse control, and daily mental and physical engagement while they’re here. I have experience building service-style task foundations and higher-level behavior, but I do not certify service animals. Every dog benefits from structure in my home, whether they need basic manners or more advanced work. My focus is safety, consistency, and communication so every dog is properly supervised, exercised, and leaves more balanced, responsive, and confident. Pet care is part of my daily routine, not something I fit in on the side. I’m home most of the day, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, structured interaction, and regular potty breaks, exercise, and mental engagement. My background in disciplined environments has shaped how I run my home—dogs here benefit from routine, clear expectations, and a calm, controlled atmosphere. Each day includes a balance of activity, training reinforcement, and rest so dogs stay healthy, settled, and stress-free. Because I’m available throughout the day, I can adapt to each dog’s needs—whether that’s higher energy, puppy structure, or a more relaxed pace. My goal is to provide dependable, attentive care so owners can feel confident their dog is safe, engaged, and well looked after at all times. Safety, trust, and structure are the foundation of how I care for every dog. My home is set up specifically for pet care, with a dedicated dog room, secure kennels, and supervised interaction at all times. I carefully manage introductions and only allow dogs to interact once they are calm, balanced, and a good fit. Dogs in my care follow a structured routine that includes regular potty breaks, exercise, mental stimulation, and rest. I maintain clear boundaries while still allowing comfort—dogs can enjoy furniture and a relaxed environment once they demonstrate respectful behavior and cleanliness. I require dogs to be crate familiar or comfortable with structured downtime. Owners are encouraged to provide a crate or familiar setup for overnight stays, though I have limited kennel space available if needed. I prioritize communication and will keep owners updated with how their dog is doing. My goal is to provide a calm, controlled environment where dogs feel safe, are properly supervised, and leave more balanced and well cared for than when they arrived.

“Above and beyond dog walker with a clear love of animals! Thank you so much for being flexible and helping me take care of my energetic puppy during this busy season of life.”
