“Maria had our 2 dogs for 11 days and she did a phenomenal job. I got daily pictures and videos. She even sent them home with little treats that she made homemade. She treated our dogs like family while we were out of the country. I can't say enough about how much I appreciate her for not having us worried during our vacation. We knew that they were safe and well taken care of, thanks again, Maria!”

“Irina was communicative throughout the entire process. I had to make a last minute change and include my senior pug for boarding and she was responsive and helpful. My senior pug has to take medication twice daily and Irina made sure to be on top of it. My pugs looked happy and well taken care of while I was gone. Irina sent me videos and pictures of my pugs which made me feel comfortable and it was good to see their little tails wagging while I was gone. Thank you Irina.”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who recently moved to the area after spending many years working in the medical field. I’m now enjoying being a stay-at-home dog and cat mom and would love to use my extra time to help other pet parents feel confident that their animals are happy, loved, and cared for while they’re away. I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, and I grew up on a farm surrounded by animals. Caring for animals has always been something that comes naturally to me. I understand that pets are family, (I currently have one standard poodle, Eevee and one Oriental shorthair cat, Moo) and I treat every animal in my care with the same patience, kindness, and attention I would want for my own. While I was working, we used Rover to come check on our animals daily and it gave us peace of mind. Now I would like to offer that peace to others. I am comfortable with kittens thru senior cats.
About: Cats are a new love, and appreciation of mine. I did not grow up with cats and spent most of my life not understanding them. 5yrs ago we got a kitten and she quickly became a treasured pet of mine. Cats are so special and just an attentive heart for their owners mixed in with their wonderful independent spirit. I look forward to helping make your cat feel cared for while your away.
“Morgan was so wonderful! Needed a mid day drop-in for my senior dog. Reached out with only a day or so notice (my fault) and Morgan was able to help no problem! Always nice to have a sitter in the area you can count on and trust, Morgan is definitely on my list ᵕ̈”
About: My experience with animals goes far beyond pet sitting. I began volunteering at a wildlife rehabilitation center at age 10 and continued through age 16, which sparked my lifelong passion for animal care. I went on to earn a Bachelor’s degree in Biology and a Master’s degree in Wildlife Conservation and Ecology. I’ve also worked in multiple veterinary clinics as a surgical assistant and spent a year working in animal control. These experiences have given me hands-on experience handling animals, recognizing changes in behavior, following care instructions, and staying calm in unexpected situations. I understand that every pet has different needs, personalities, and routines. Whether your dog needs an active day, extra patience, medication or special care, or simply a safe and comfortable place to relax, I’m committed to providing attentive, knowledgeable care and treating your pet like one of my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine and is something I genuinely enjoy. I have the flexibility to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care rather than treating it as something I squeeze into a busy schedule. My days can include walks, outdoor time, play, enrichment, and plenty of one-on-one attention, while also making sure pets have time to relax and feel comfortable. I’m intentional about keeping each pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible, including their feeding, exercise, and rest schedules. I also enjoy being active outdoors, so dogs who love walks and adventures will have plenty of opportunities to get their energy out! Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, habits, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions before their stay. My background in wildlife rehabilitation, veterinary clinics, and animal control has taught me how important it is to pay close attention to behavior and recognize when something is out of the ordinary. I’m comfortable handling animals with different personalities and energy levels and understand the importance of patience, supervision, and a calm environment. I also love keeping dogs active with walks, play, enrichment, and outdoor time when appropriate. Most importantly, I treat every pet as an individual and care for them with the same attentiveness and respect I would want for my own. I have my own fenced in yard and a large sized kennel in my home if needed.
About: From an early age, I lived with cats. Some people aren't "cat people"; I'm the opposite. Whether the shy type or the snuggle muffin, I adore cats. Recently rescued two ferals who are now (6 years later) the sweetest, happiest love bugs. I'll enjoy every moment with your cats. And they'll quickly look forward to my visits. I feel bad for people who aren't cat people. They're missing out!
About: I’m newer to professional pet care, but I’m reliable, attentive, and calm. I’ve walked my boyfriend’s dog a few times and helped let coworkers’ dogs out during the day. Outside of that, I have a year of experience supervising middle schoolers and have spent years caring for my younger siblings (ages 10 and 13), which has taught me patience, responsibility, and how to stay attentive and trustworthy. I treat pets with the same care and respect and always make sure they’re safe and comfortable. I work full time on a rotating shift schedule, so my availability varies from week to week. The upside is that I can be available on weekdays or during less typical hours. I’m happy to coordinate ahead of time to find a schedule that works well for both you and your pet. I don’t offer boarding in my own home, but I’m happy to care for pets in their own space. I focus on keeping their routine as consistent as possible—making sure they get let out, fed, walked, and given attention as needed. I’m calm, observant, and respectful of both pets and clients’ homes, and I always prioritize safety and comfort.
About: What sets me apart is my calm, patient approach and genuine love for cats of all personalities. I’m here to offer more than just feeding and litter box checks. I make time for play, affection, and companionship during every visit. Whether your cat is shy, playful, or somewhere in between, I create a safe, stress-free environment tailored to their comfort and routine.
About: I have experience with assisting my brother taking care of litters from birth to now. I also have cared for multiple senior dogs who need to take medication, special diet and unable to walk. Within my 5 years of experience people have recommended me to friends and families and associates. I have been recommended to bathe, feed, play and love. Every animal that I care for I treat as if they were my own. I work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility and time to dedicate to your pets. I’m happy to work around your schedule and your pet’s routine, whether you need care during the day, evenings, or weekends. I’ll do my best to accommodate your needs and create a schedule that works comfortably for both you and your pet. 🐾💕 I make sure that my clients homes are secured by going outside with them and making sure fences are closed keeping a close eye on them at all time and including inside as well. I have experience with dogs that are deemed vicious and so I’ve had to take special precautions for the safety of the animals.
“Yuri took fantastic ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ care of our elderly cat who required 4x a day medication, which included injections and pills. Our cat, Leo, loved his stay so much he didn’t want to come home. We were able to take a much needed vacation and relax because we were confident in the level of love and care Leo was getting.”
“I went on a work trip to DC for a week and Brandon made having to leave Drax at home so much easier and took a lot of stress out of it. He provided daily updates and did even more than I even expected him to do. I am sure Drax is going to miss the week he spent with Brandon checking on him and keeping him company”
About: As a lifelong cat owner, I understand that every cat has their own unique personality and routine. Some cats love attention and playtime, while others prefer quiet companionship and their own space. I take the time to get to know each cat and provide care that makes them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ll make sure your cat’s food and water are fresh, clean the litter box thoroughly, monitor for any changes in behavior, and spend quality time with them based on their comfort level. Whether your cat enjoys chasing toys, getting chin scratches, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll provide the care they need. I’ll also send plenty of photo updates so you can relax knowing your cat is happy and well cared for.
“Richard does a fantastic job taking care of my puppy! He’s reliable, attentive, and has a great connection with dogs. My puppy is happy and well cared for during her drop-in visits. It gives me peace of mind knowing she’s in such good hands. I highly recommend Richard to anyone looking for a trustworthy and kind sitter!”
About: I grew up with cats and kittens and have cared for cats throughout much of my life, including raising kittens and adopting adult cats from shelters. I understand that good cat care often means respecting boundaries rather than demanding interaction. I'm attentive to the individual cat's routine, appetite, litter-box habits, body language and preferred level of interaction. I'm happy to provide affection and play for a social cat or simply offer quiet, reliable care and companionship for a cat who prefers more space. I appreciate how different individual cats can be — from spicy to mellow — and I'll follow your established feeding, play and household routines rather than trying to impose my own.
About: I live in the Sacramento Delta in a quiet neighborhood. Great neighborhood for walks and a nice fenced corner lot yard for your pup to run around in. I live with my elderly father who enjoys meeting new doggy friends. 24 hr supervision since I work remotely! I’m an early riser and enjoy morning walks. Your doggy will recieve a good amount of outdoor time and have an active and stimulating day. I’m comfortable with your dog sleeping in bed with me but respect if you prefer them to sleep in a crate. I work remotely so I have no issue staying at your house as well!

“Maria took fantastic care of Sybil! I got regular updates and I got to come home to an incredibly happy and tired dog. I can't recommend her enough! Thanks again for everything, we'll definitely book again in the future!”
“Giezell is wonderful! My dog Bailey ran right in and after awhile felt at home. He had his treat and dinner as scheduled and she also sent pictures and videos which is much appreciated. She’s contentious and excellent care with Bailey. I would definitely use her again and highly recommend!!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of love, patience, and personalized care I give every dog as if they were my own. I understand that every pup has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level, so I take the time to make sure they feel safe, happy, and at home while you’re away. I have experience caring for puppies who need extra attention, structure, potty training support, and plenty of playtime, as well as senior dogs who require a calmer environment, medication administration, slower walks, and gentle care. I’m attentive to body language, behavior, and individual needs, which helps dogs quickly build trust and feel comfortable with me. Whether your dog is energetic and playful, shy and anxious, or older and needing extra patience, I provide reliable supervision, lots of affection, consistent communication, and a clean, stress-free environment. My goal is not just to “watch” your pet it’s to give them a positive experience where they feel loved, secure, and excited to come back. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work part-time and mainly from home, which allows me to give dogs plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I’m able to maintain a flexible schedule for walks, potty breaks, feeding times, playtime, and cuddle time, while also making sure each pet sticks to their normal routine as closely as possible. Since I’m home most of the time, pets are rarely left alone for long periods, which helps them feel comfortable, safe, and less anxious while their owners are away. I truly enjoy having animals around and make their care a priority in my everyday life, giving them lots of love, patience, and one on one attention. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable home environment where dogs are treated like part of the family. Since I work part-time and mainly from home, I’m able to give pets plenty of supervision, attention, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. Dogs staying in my home are welcome to roam freely and relax comfortably in the house rather than being confined, helping them feel more at ease and at home during their stay. I can also crate dogs if requested by the owner or if it’s part of the dog’s normal routine for sleeping, feeding, or downtime. I always prioritize safety by carefully monitoring interactions, maintaining a calm environment, and following each dog’s specific care instructions, routines, dietary needs, and comfort levels. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, stress free, and well cared for while giving owners peace of mind knowing their dog is in good hands.
About: I have been a dog mom longer than a human mom! Dogs have been part of my life for years. I am good with training, schedules, pups to seniors. I walk daily, have a huge yard, and a pool for summer day care. My 2 kids have grown up with dogs in the home and love and them just as much as I do! I work from home and set my own hours, so your pup will get plenty of love and attention! I take a walks everyday and am a frequent flyer at the park. Day care hours: Drop off between 7-8am and pick up between 4-5pm. Additional time will have an added fee. If you need different drop off/pick up times, please let me know when booking! I have a huge fenced yard for getting zoomies out and soaking up sun. Besides daily walks to the park and play, I will make sure your dog is fed, stimulated, and loved.

About: I'm a very responsible and fun loving dog mom to my own senior Maltese. Other owners say bringing their dogs to stay with me is like going to Club Med. Looking to spend quality time with my senior dog and other babies as much as I am able to. I would care for your dogs as much as I care for my own. I have a fenced yard and parks in the area. This is a very dog friendly community. Regular potty breaks and walks are the norm for my house.

Her dogs are well behaved and love people and animals. Truly so thankful for Connie and will definitely be booking her in the future. 10000% recommend.”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who recently moved to the area after spending the last 24 years in Washington state. With all the kids off to college, I’m now enjoying being a stay-at-home dog and cat mom and would love to use my extra time to help other pet parents feel confident that their animals are happy, loved, and cared for while they’re away. I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, and I grew up on a farm surrounded by a variety of animals. Caring for animals has always been something that comes naturally to me. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care with the same patience, kindness, and attention I would want for my own. After years of working in a busy career, I especially appreciate having the time to slow down and enjoy the companionship of animals. I’d love to help dogs get some exercise, attention, and affection during the day so they aren’t stuck at home alone for hours while their families are at work. In the past we used this service to make sure our pets were well cared for while we were at work. It was so valuable for not only to our animals, but to us Whether your dog needs a midday walk, some playtime and companionship, or you need someone dependable to check in on your pets, I’m happy to help. My background in healthcare has also taught me to be responsible, attentive to details, and comfortable handling unexpected situations. Most importantly, I want your pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. I’d be happy to meet you and your pets beforehand so we can make sure we’re a great fit! Your pets may be your babies, but I’ll treat them like they’re mine. 🐾❤️ I am currently staying home and staying active with my standard poodle, Eevee and my cat, Moo. I have worked in surgery for close to 30 years and now that I’m home full time, I want to fill my time with things I love and make me happy. I have a fully fenced backyard with a swimming pool. I do have one standard poodle, who is super friendly and obsessed. I do have one cat who is a rescue from a hoarding situation and loves to play with dogs.We have a large home with all kids off to college. Animals sleep with us.

About: My name is Destiny and I grew up caring for large and small dogs and cats. I have hands-on experience raising puppies and kittens from birth through adulthood. As an adult, I continue to care for both cats and dogs, including adopted shelter cats and my own Labrador Retriever and Standard Poodle. Both of my dogs are neutered, gentle and affectionate. My Standard Poodle loves to run and play and can be wonderfully bouncy, but he's also surprisingly nurturing and likes to make sure everyone is okay. My Labrador is basically Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh—a lovely potato who is particularly drawn to wee, scrappy dogs. I actively study canine behavior and learning. I train and participate in dog sports including obedience, scent work/nose work, agility, Barn Hunt and NASDA. I'm comfortable observing canine body language, following established training and management routines, providing enrichment, and adapting my approach to the individual dog. Most importantly, I genuinely enjoy getting to know animals as individuals. I don't expect every dog or cat to immediately love me, and I don't force interaction. I believe comprehensive care starts with paying attention to what makes an animal feel safe, comfortable and understood. I work from home with a flexible schedule and control over my own hours, which gives me plenty of time to incorporate walks, play, enrichment, meals, potty breaks and companionship throughout the day. Our household is unusually quiet and relaxed. There are no children in the home, and my neighborhood is a peaceful residential area that's well suited to walks and downtime. Pets staying with me have opportunities for activity and engagement, but also plenty of time and space to settle, nap and simply relax. Because I'm home much of the day, pet care fits naturally into my routine rather than having to be squeezed in around a long commute or rigid work schedule. I believe pet care starts with understanding the *individual* animal. I take time to learn each pet's normal routine, temperament, preferences, training cues, feeding needs and anything that may make them uncomfortable or stressed. My approach is calm, patient and attentive. I don't force interactions, and I pay close attention to body language and changes in behavior. I follow owners' established routines and management instructions carefully because consistency can make being away from home much easier for a pet. My home is clean, quiet, child-free and low-stress, in a peaceful residential neighborhood. I want visiting pets to have a comfortable place where they can play and engage when they want to, but can also settle and rest without constant activity, noise or disruption. When caring for pets in their own homes, I bring the same approach: respect the animal's familiar environment, follow the household's routines carefully, communicate reliably with the owner, and leave things exactly as I found them.
“150% recommend Brian for your pup! I was so nervous about last minute needing to find a daycare option for my senior beagle who is very much a homebody and can be nervous in new situations, but Brian took so much extra care and attention to make sure Mason was more than comfortable in the new environment and I knew within minutes I couldn’t have chosen a better sitter. Thank you Brian for the extra love you gave our to our very important family member and communicating every step of the way. You really put our minds at ease dropping Mason off there. I’ll be calling you soon for the next stay!”
“Miko had a great time at Shireen’s! We did a meet and greet a few days before to help him warm up a bit, and that was helpful for my nervous pup. If we ever need a sitter again, we will definitely be booking with Shireen!”
About: I have taken care of animals since I was a little kid, both dogs and cats! I love animals and spending time with them as much as possible.

This is definitely the perfect home away from home ❤️❤️❤️???”

“Shawna is such an amazing dog walker! I am very particular on who is around/handles my dog and she has always gone above and beyond to make sure my dog is safe and happy! It’s such a huge piece of mind knowing that he’s is getting exercise while I’m at work. She always leaves the best reports for me to read after their walks 😊 Thank you Shawna for loving my dog as much as I do!”
About: I have experience caring for high-energy and working breeds, including dogs that need structure, exercise, and calm guidance while away from home. I focus on creating a safe, balanced environment with enrichment, routine, and personalized care for each dog. I’m comfortable with crate routines, leash handling, impulse control work, and helping dogs settle calmly into a new environment. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I maintain a structured and active lifestyle, which allows me to provide consistent walks, exercise, and attentive supervision throughout the day. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening walks, and I prioritize keeping dogs on a steady routine that mirrors what they’re used to at home. Whether your dog needs structured exercise, calm companionship, or a balanced mix of both, I build their care into my schedule — not around it. Because I work from a stable home environment near Travis AFB, I’m able to provide reliable availability, consistent potty breaks, structured activity, and regular updates. Your dog’s safety, routine, and well-being are never an afterthought — they’re part of the plan. Dogs in my home are cared for in a calm, structured environment designed to help them feel safe and settled. I keep routines consistent with regular potty breaks, structured walks, mental stimulation, and purposeful play. Dogs are never left without supervision for extended periods, and I monitor energy levels to ensure they’re comfortable — whether they need exercise or quiet rest.
About: Hi there! I’m Kiet! A passionate and attentive pet caregiver with experience caring for dogs, cats, and even reptiles. I genuinely love spending time with animals and making sure they’re happy, healthy, and comfortable while their humans are away. I’m especially skilled with pets who need a little extra care. Both of my cats require a special medical diet, so I’m very comfortable preparing and following precise feeding instructions. I also have experience with anxious animals, my cat Robin is quite shy and sensitive, so I understand the importance of creating a calm and reassuring environment. Whether it’s feeding schedules, potty breaks, medication, or simply providing companionship, I take the responsibility of pet care seriously. I’ve recently moved back home and currently have open availability! I’m more than happy to take care of your companion for extended period. Thank you! At the moment I am not taking any care from my own home as I share a house with roommates. Thank you for your understanding!

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life. I don’t think there was a year in my life where I did not have a dog to help take care of! I have taken care of small dogs, medium dogs, and big dogs! We also had a lot of other animals while I was growing up. I’ve taken care of birds, fish, reptiles, and even rabbits. So I am happy to take care of other pets as well if you have them and we can talk prices! Depending on the needs of your pets, I will form my schedule around taking care of them! As of right now this is my main job but as soon as I find another job this will become something I do on the side for a passion hobby. I will always start by asking the owner of the pets to explain their needs and wants before implying anything that I would do on my own. (Customer needs and wants come first) I have fun playing with the animals dogs and cats alike. So if they have favorite toys if I am house sitting then I will let them have fun with that! If I am walking dogs I tend to keep a steady pace so that the dogs get good healthy exercise.
“Thank you so much for all your help! Guinny is always happier after your walks together, and I love the photos you send. It's always good to have help nearby on my long days in the field.”
About: My experience with animals goes far beyond pet sitting. I began volunteering at a wildlife rehabilitation center at age 10 and continued through age 16, which sparked my lifelong passion for animal care. I went on to earn a Bachelor’s degree in Biology and a Master’s degree in Wildlife Conservation and Ecology. I’ve also worked in multiple veterinary clinics as a surgical assistant and spent a year working in animal control. These experiences have given me hands-on experience handling animals, recognizing changes in behavior, following care instructions, and staying calm in unexpected situations. I understand that every pet has different needs, personalities, and routines. Whether your dog needs an active day, extra patience, medication or special care, or simply a safe and comfortable place to relax, I’m committed to providing attentive, knowledgeable care and treating your pet like one of my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine and is something I genuinely enjoy. I have the flexibility to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care rather than treating it as something I squeeze into a busy schedule. My days can include walks, outdoor time, play, enrichment, and plenty of one-on-one attention, while also making sure pets have time to relax and feel comfortable. I’m intentional about keeping each pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible, including their feeding, exercise, and rest schedules. I also enjoy being active outdoors, so dogs who love walks and adventures will have plenty of opportunities to get their energy out! Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, habits, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions before their stay. My background in wildlife rehabilitation, veterinary clinics, and animal control has taught me how important it is to pay close attention to behavior and recognize when something is out of the ordinary. I’m comfortable handling animals with different personalities and energy levels and understand the importance of patience, supervision, and a calm environment. I also love keeping dogs active with walks, play, enrichment, and outdoor time when appropriate. Most importantly, I treat every pet as an individual and care for them with the same attentiveness and respect I would want for my own. I have my own fenced in yard and a large sized kennel in my home if needed.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs of all breeds and sizes my entire life, so caring for them has always come naturally to me. I also have a puppy of my own, so I know firsthand how much attention, patience, playtime, and love they need! Right now, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week and on weekends. I’m able to accommodate daytime and evenings, and I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine. My availability will always be kept up to date on Rover. I know how important it is to feel comfortable with the person caring for your pet. I’ll always follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible! I have a friendly puppy of my own and understand the importance of supervision, regular potty breaks, play, and lots of attention of course! I’ll also keep you updated while your pet is in my care.
About: I have taken care of animals since I was a little kid, both dogs and cats! I love animals and spending time with them as much as possible. I have plenty of experience with animals, with training my own dogs, playing with them in our yard, playing with cats, cleaning up after all them daily. Making sure they are living there best life! I currently work part time and have so much extra time for your fur babies! I love animals and love to take care of them like they are my own babies! Let me be the one to put your mind at ease while you can enjoy the vacation your on, the business trip you need to focus on, or just anything your doing. I have a fully fenced backyard, furniture the animals are allowed on, plenty of space in the house for animals to feel at home! Every animal is treated with love at our home!
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with nearly 10 years of experience caring for dogs. I’ve owned a Chihuahua, Beagle, and currently a dog mom to a 5 year old pitbull! So I’m comfortable with all sizes, energy levels, and personalities. I’ve also dog sat for friends and family, providing dependable, loving care every time. I am currently available 7 days a week! 24/7. I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to cater to your specific time frames needed. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of your space and keep things tidy while giving your pet consistent care and companionship. I also provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your dog is happy and well taken care of. During walks and visits, I focus on safety, using secure leashes and staying aware of surroundings, while also making sure your dog gets plenty of exercise and attention. I’m attentive to each dog’s personality and energy level, whether they need active play or a slower, more relaxed pace.
About: I’ve always loved animals and have grown up with dogs in my home. For the past 8 years, I’ve also had a cat who has taught me so much about patience, care, and the unique bond we share with our pets. Between my own pets and caring for friends’ cats and dogs, I’ve gained experience with different personalities, ages, and needs. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I truly enjoy making pets feel safe, happy, and loved. Pet care is naturally part of my daily life since I’ve always had animals at home. I love starting and ending the day with walks, playtime, or cuddle sessions. Because I currently have a very flexible schedule, I can easily fit in feeding, exercise, and companionship throughout the day, making sure pets feel loved and cared for just like they would with their own family. In my home or in a client’s home, I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow the routines they’re used to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or quiet companionship so they feel at ease. I give lots of attention, cuddles, and exercise when needed, and I’m always careful to keep their environment clean, calm, and stress-free. Every pet is unique, and I make sure to adjust to their needs so they feel cared.
About: My name is Destiny and I grew up caring for large and small dogs and cats. I have hands-on experience raising puppies and kittens from birth through adulthood. As an adult, I continue to care for both cats and dogs, including adopted shelter cats and my own Labrador Retriever and Standard Poodle. Both of my dogs are neutered, gentle and affectionate. My Standard Poodle loves to run and play and can be wonderfully bouncy, but he's also surprisingly nurturing and likes to make sure everyone is okay. My Labrador is basically Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh—a lovely potato who is particularly drawn to wee, scrappy dogs. I actively study canine behavior and learning. I train and participate in dog sports including obedience, scent work/nose work, agility, Barn Hunt and NASDA. I'm comfortable observing canine body language, following established training and management routines, providing enrichment, and adapting my approach to the individual dog. Most importantly, I genuinely enjoy getting to know animals as individuals. I don't expect every dog or cat to immediately love me, and I don't force interaction. I believe comprehensive care starts with paying attention to what makes an animal feel safe, comfortable and understood. I work from home with a flexible schedule and control over my own hours, which gives me plenty of time to incorporate walks, play, enrichment, meals, potty breaks and companionship throughout the day. Our household is unusually quiet and relaxed. There are no children in the home, and my neighborhood is a peaceful residential area that's well suited to walks and downtime. Pets staying with me have opportunities for activity and engagement, but also plenty of time and space to settle, nap and simply relax. Because I'm home much of the day, pet care fits naturally into my routine rather than having to be squeezed in around a long commute or rigid work schedule. I believe pet care starts with understanding the *individual* animal. I take time to learn each pet's normal routine, temperament, preferences, training cues, feeding needs and anything that may make them uncomfortable or stressed. My approach is calm, patient and attentive. I don't force interactions, and I pay close attention to body language and changes in behavior. I follow owners' established routines and management instructions carefully because consistency can make being away from home much easier for a pet. My home is clean, quiet, child-free and low-stress, in a peaceful residential neighborhood. I want visiting pets to have a comfortable place where they can play and engage when they want to, but can also settle and rest without constant activity, noise or disruption. When caring for pets in their own homes, I bring the same approach: respect the animal's familiar environment, follow the household's routines carefully, communicate reliably with the owner, and leave things exactly as I found them.
About: I have experience with assisting my brother taking care of litters from birth to now. I also have cared for multiple senior dogs who need to take medication, special diet and unable to walk. Within my 5 years of experience people have recommended me to friends and families and associates. I have been recommended to bathe, feed, play and love. Every animal that I care for I treat as if they were my own. I work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility and time to dedicate to your pets. I’m happy to work around your schedule and your pet’s routine, whether you need care during the day, evenings, or weekends. I’ll do my best to accommodate your needs and create a schedule that works comfortably for both you and your pet. 🐾💕 I make sure that my clients homes are secured by going outside with them and making sure fences are closed keeping a close eye on them at all time and including inside as well. I have experience with dogs that are deemed vicious and so I’ve had to take special precautions for the safety of the animals.

About: I’ve cared for dogs for over 10 years. I also grew up in rural Oklahoma on a farm with many other animals, including dogs and cats. I love dogs and always worry when leaving my dog with anyone else. My philosophy is to treat someone else’s pet the way I would want my own pet to be treated and cared for. I will provide attention, pets, snuggles, walks playtime, and treats. Dogs are welcome to sleep next to me and my little dog and snuggle on the couch with us. I work full-time at an 8 to 5 type of job. Two days per week I go into the office for part of the day. My schedule is very flexible and I can work from home on different days when needed.

Just from connecting with him on our first video call, I can tell that he loves dogs and is a very nice person.
