About: Growing up in a veterinarian household taught me how to properly care for animals while making them all feel safe, loved, comfortable, and stress-free 🫶🐾✨ Down Below is listed my Schedule 🐾✨ Weekdays: • 4:00am-6:00am • 9:00am-1:30pm • 7:00pm-11:00pm Weekends: All day UNLESS notified otherwise I provide calm, attentive, and reliable care tailored to each pet’s personality, routine, and comfort level. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I focus on keeping pets safe, stress-free, and as close to their normal schedule as possible. I make sure dogs get proper walks, exercise, and playtime, while also ensuring cats have clean litter boxes, fresh water, and enrichment suited to their personality—whether that’s play, affection, or quiet companionship. I always pay close attention to behavior and comfort so pets feel secure and cared for. 🐾✨🫶

About: I have taken care of all types of pets for 7 years. I have been taking care of dogs for 2 years. I love all! I am available part time for dog care. Nights are more easier to accept due to my work schedule as a therapist. Let me know and I can work with you! I have a doggy park. I have cages if a dog wants a lone time from other dogs/pets. I have a balcony if it is raining for air and sun. I am available before 7 and after 4:30 usually for drop off on weekdays. I am flexible on weekends. We can accommodate times if told in advance. There is a fenced dog park across the street. The dogs slept separately all day besides during play time. We have cameras inside the house and outside the front door.

About: I’ve had two dogs! My first dog was a Maltese named Rocky. He passed away in 2017 from lymphoma. 💔 Right now, I have a 9-year-old terrier mix named Lila! She’s full of energy and loves running around the yard, going for walks, and playing fetch with her toys. I’ve been helping take care of my family’s & friends dogs since I was a little girl, and I’ve always loved dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and personalities. 🥰 I’m currently in the Accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing (ABSN) program at FDU. I started in May, and the program is 15 months long, so I’ll be graduating in September 2027. My classes are a mix of online and in-person, but I’m generally available all day on Monday, Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays to house sit and available Tuesdays and Thursdays for drop-ins and walks! Whether your dog needs a walk, a trip to the park, someone to play with, or just a buddy to relax with on the couch, I’m happy to help! I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, love, and care while you’re away. Just let me know what you need, and I’d be happy to make it happen. 😊

About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. My hands-on experience started in 2015 with my cat Mittens (now 10) and my dog Fluffy (also 10), so I understand the long-term care and attention pets need at every stage of life. In addition to caring for my own pets, I worked at an animal hospital for a year and a half, where I gained valuable experience in animal care. This included feeding pets with special diets, following specific care instructions, and supporting animals with different needs. My combination of personal and professional experience helps me provide attentive, reliable, and compassionate care for every pet I look after! I am currently home for the summer from college would like to dedicate my afternoons to my future furry friends! I am flexible, so if there is any shifting/accommodations that has to happen that is fine. I care for pets in my client’s home by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and kept in their normal routine while their owner is away. I follow all specific instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, dietary needs, medication if needed, and exercise routines. I also make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection so they don’t feel stressed or lonely. I treat each home with respect and keep everything clean. I will always provide updates so owners feel reassured while they’re away--I know what its like to miss my pets too!

About: Hi my name is Amanda, I am a recent graduate. I’m a huge animal lover and I’ve had experience pet sitting and caring for animals for about 4 years now. I’ve had a fur baby of my own named Leo who sadly passed from epilepsy. I am responsible and will treat your pet like it is my own. I will update you frequently on how your pet is doing and respond quickly to any questions you may have. It is my pleasure to get your services set up so that your fur babies can experience outstanding care while you are away. I would love to welcome your furry family member! I currently work full time but my availability is flexible due to a hybrid schedule. Mondays and Fridays I am available anytime. Tue-Thursday I am available after 6pm. I have a fully fenced yard and have no other pets in my home. In regards to walks I live in a safe neighborhood free of constant street traffic. I also live near 3 dog parks that I like to take my own pup to.

About: I do have experience with animals as many of my friends and family have dogs that I grew up getting acquainted with. I have a genuine love and care for pets and would love to walk and become well acquainted with the dogs I take for walks. I am a college student as of now, but pet care does fit into my routine because it is something I am able to schedule whenever I am free. I am also definitely willing to work with requests. I will always prioritize safety and trust when it comes to the relationship I have with the dogs I walk as well as the owners.

About: I’ve cared for puppies and elderly dogs. I have comforted, cleaned and cared for dogs of all sizes. I loved taking my family dogs to the dog park or trail. I currently work part time so I can take your dog to their favorite place. Also care for your dog if they need company during a rainy or noisy day (fireworks). IYKYK I start by scanning the premises to take preventative measures for any hazards. I will also make sure the dog is within my sight at all times.

I had Taylor come walk our dog, Lola, and from the moment they met, Lola gravitated toward her. She immediately felt Taylor’s calm, kind energy , she’s soft-spoken, gentle, and very easy-going. By the time Taylor left, Lola was giving her hugs and kisses! It went so well that I booked her again the very next day for an earlier walk. Taylor was on time, super communicative, and Lola actually cried with excitement when she saw her again. We’re so happy to have potentially found our go-to dog walker!
