About: My name is Emilio Torres and I happily welcome dogs and cats in my pet friendly apartment. I offer a friendly and top tier service for your pet. Your canine is more than a pet they are family. They feel welcomed in my humble abode, while being able to enjoy frequent walks around every 2-3 hours. There are trails and paths around the area for your dog to enjoy a nice walk in nature.

During the hot days of summer my apartment stays cool so your dog won’t get too hot or overheated. Thank you for choosing me as your dog sitter I promise to treat all like family.

About: I grew up with a large yellow lab and now care for my maltipoo who I have had since he was a small puppy. Dogs are my favorite animals. Since I work remotely, I’m frequently home and live with my own dog. I also tend to be in a 5 mile radius of my home. I will be sure to leave everything as I found it if doing a drop in visit or walking service. Your dog will get the attention and care he or she needs every time.


13. Erin G.
“Erin has taken great care of my energetic doodle on many occasions! She shows him so much love, plays with him constantly and even offers advice to ensure I provide the best care possible as a not so knowledgeable dog mom. Her love for animals shows as soon as she meets a new pet. She has made my time away from Foles much easier for short and long trips, knowing that he is under such great care.”


14. Chelsea S.
About: I’ve been around cats and dogs my entire life! I’ve had my own cats since I was a child, and I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was a teenager. I have such a deep love for animals, and especially your beloved pets. I’ve had many years of experience with animals and I’m well-versed in the care of cats and dogs. Your pets are always safe, comfortable, and loved with me. I’m currently a student on summer vacation until September. As for now, I don’t have any other obligations and I can be there for your pet 24/7. I’m currently available whenever needed to care for your pets. I have seven cats and a dog of my own, so it is quite stressful for them to share their home with another pet. For this reason, I cannot offer services in my home at the moment. However, I do offer exemplary service in the comfort of the pets’ own homes! This includes several responsibilities to ensure the well-being and happiness of your pets. I always follow owner's instructions regarding feeding schedules and dietary requirements, ensuring fresh water is always available. It’s crucial to engage pets in play sessions, walks, or outdoor activities according to their needs and energy levels. I administer any medications, adhering strictly to dosages and schedules. I also brush and maintain the pet's coat and cleanliness, cleaning litter boxes or other pet areas as needed. I always make a habit to observe pets for any signs of illness or discomfort, and promptly notifying the owner if any concerns arise. Ensuring the home is secure during visits and following any special instructions for home security is also a critical role in pet-sitting. It’s my pleasure to provide updates to the owner about their pet's well-being and activities through messages, photos, or notes. I respect the pet's routines and provide comfort and companionship to reduce any stress or anxiety during the owner's absence. I follow these guidelines and maintain open communication with the pet owner, so that I can ensure a positive experience for both the pets and their owners.




15. Louise S.
About: I am available to look after your are pets whether young or elderly, big or small. I live in a perfectly sized house with a fenced in garden. I am home 3 days a week and otherwise in the office. I am great with long weekends away to care for your pup. I have a small low energy dog at home and she is happy to meet guest dogs. I don't board masses of dogs either, I believe in focusing on just one guest pup at a time. I am happy to walk, play, socialize and even teach and train your pup. I love being with dogs and have been sitting for over 10 years caring for all types of animals, some with medical needs. I think it's important to build a relationship with the animal whenever possible. I am good at listening and understanding my clients' needs and value strong customer service and communication. I look forward to connecting with you about your fur babies. I mostly work from home and can give potty breaks every 4 to 6 hours. I am in the office a couple days a week. I only board one family at a time. I have a small dog who mostly stays upstairs. Your pet will have the down stairs and easy access to the fenced in yard.


16. Robyn S.

“Robyn was awesome, so glad we found her. She earned the trust of our protective but sweet dog, and we were happy to get the pictures and know she was doing so well. We will definitely look to book Robyn again!”


17. Jennifer S.
“Jenny is an absolute gem! She took such wonderful care of our Jack, sending us lovely updates and photos that put our minds at ease. It's clear Jack had a fantastic time with her. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup. Highly recommend Jenny for anyone looking for a truly caring and reliable dog sitter!”


18. Kia N.

“Kia was the prefect dog walker for our high energy pups! She was very communicative and we felt as though our pups were in really good hands!”


19. Kate O.

“I’d recommend Kate to anyone looking for a pet caregiver! We had a last minute schedule change and needed a dog walker ASAP. She responded to my request quickly and was able to check in and go over to walk my crazy pit bull right on time the same day. She did a great job and I would definitely hire her again!”


20. Melissa N.

“Melissa was fantastic with our dogs! We have a Golden who loves everyone (of course). But we also have a 10 year old Rottweiler who can be very selective with fully trusting people outside her family. Our Rottie took to Melissa immediately, which has never happened with any other dog walker. Melissa had no issues walking both dogs at the same time. In addition, Melissa has great communication skills, and was very easy to get along with. Highest recommendation for Melissa!”
