We couldn't be happier with the care Genevieve provided for our pup! From the moment we dropped him off, we felt completely at ease, knowing he was in the most capable and loving hands. She was very communicative and sent a lot of updates with pictures. It was clear she treated him like her own. We were especially delighted to see that her dogs and our pup became the best of friends, which made his stay even more enjoyable and enriching. We are already so excited to bring him back for his next stay!

Terri is a true animal lover. She cared for my dog Lucy over the weekend. She took Lucy for plenty of walks and even took her to the lake a couple times. Baked her some dog treats and even sent her home with a batch. Plenty of pictures. We are very pleased.

Linda took amazing care of our senior dog, who has medical needs and doesn’t warm up to just anyone—but she absolutely loved Linda. She made sure she was safe, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. We got regular updates and pictures, which gave us total peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. You can tell Linda truly cares, and we’ll definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!

Mark and his son were really awesome with our dog, Thor. We booked a 10 day stay, and Mark provided consistent updates on how Thor was doing. They walked him regularly and played with him often, and they have a great home with a back yard Thor could enjoy. I felt comfortable and confident leaving my fur baby with them!

Savanah is great with my dog and very reliable. I have no concerns leaving my dog (Kate) with Savanah for a night or even multiple nights. Always sends pictures and videos and takes Kate in adventures out of the house. We have a high energy dog (Malinois) and Savanah is very good about exercising her. We couldn't be happier with Savanah.

About: Hey there! I've been in raising and training dogs for a while and had a fun doing it. I’m originally from San Diego and am home for a few months after finishing my masters degree at Columbia University. While I don't have a pup of my own right now, I'm all about providing top-notch care. I absolutely love strolling around local parks, and exploring new places! I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule, so I've got some wiggle room to hang out with your furry pal throughout the week and over the weekends. Can’t wait to meet your fur-baby– they'll be in pawsitively great hands! RE: PRICES- I totally get times are tough, so I'm all ears for working out prices. Being in grad school, I’m available all evenings, free each weekend and have several gaps throughout the week! I take walks daily before/after work and on the weekends and would love to have a furry companion! I live near a few parks but there are many other parks walking distance from here. In my clients home, I will be sure to respect their belongings and be sure to keep any safety hazards away from their pets.

About: I grew up with many pets and learned how to care for them exceptionally well. I understand giving them boundaries and having fun playing with them are both keys to great care. I enjoy walking and playing with dogs as I am a very active person who loves exploring as much as your dog does! When I started pet sitting about 15 years ago I found I had a gift for helping dogs and cats who have a hard time adjusting when their owners are away. I also specialize in senior care as I’m willing to do anything needed to help your dog or cat be comfortable, eat well, and feel loved. I interact with each one as the unique individual they are. Let me know all about your pet’s personality and special needs so I can be the closest thing to having you at home as possible. I’m currently in school a couple days a week and have flexible work which gives me plenty of time to play with your pups during the week and on weekends. I only care for pets at your home. I have reliable transportation and a flexible schedule to be there when needed. I can also do overnight house and pet sitting if needed.

I’m just not available around 4-6, but I am able to care for them in my home if necessary. We have a screen door and our parking lot is gated, so there is no way for them to get through. There is also a park nearby that is great for walking.

I will send photo updates, and make sure your pets are happy and well taken care of. I work part time outside of pet sitting and have a flexible schedule.

Mariela dedicated her visits making sure Dragonfly took her medicine, was fed, loved, kept cool with the ac turned on during the daytime high heat, and her litterbox clean. Mariela's check ins and pictures were comforting, and it was excellent to know that there was someone responsible taking care of our precious family member while we were away.

About: Animals always gravitate towards me. I love how animals are like children. So innocent and sweet. I would love to help out busy families by walking or sitting for your dog. I am reliable and I overly communicate. I love taking videos and pictures of your pet and sending them to you and your loved ones . I am a mom of two girls. I have a flexible schedule and I’m willing to do whatever’s necessary to make sure your pet is taken care of. I’m a hair stylist on weekends and I love when people bring their dogs to their appointments. Rover is great way for me to play with animals, get some exercise, and make some extra income. Just message me 😊 I make sure the dog goes outside to use the bathroom . Make sure the food and water bowl is always fresh and full. Engage and play with your pet. Chill, lay down, and watch tv together. I absolutely love playing tug of war with dogs so make sure to pack that toy in their overnight bag LOL. If I were to come to your house I would let you know exactly when I enter and when I leave and give you updates on your pet .

About: **Professional Animal Care Experience You Can Trust** As a zookeeper at the world-famous San Diego Zoo, I've dedicated my career to understanding and caring for animals of all sizes and temperaments. My professional experience includes working with everything from delicate songbirds to massive rhinos, giving me unique insights into animal behavior, health, and wellness that I bring to every pet care situation. **Lifelong Animal Lover** Animals have been my passion since childhood. Throughout my life, I've been the proud caretaker of a diverse family of pets including dogs, cats, birds, lizards, and horses. This hands-on experience with domestic animals, combined with my professional work with exotic species like monkeys, giraffes, and rhinos has taught me to read animal body language, recognize stress signals, and adapt my approach to each pet's individual personality and needs. **Your Pet's Home Away From Home** My setup is perfect for your furry family members. I have a securely fenced yard where dogs can safely play and exercise, along with two friendly, well-socialized dogs who love making new friends (with proper introductions, of course).

Our boys had a great time with Virginia! We had a last minute reservation for day care scheduled the day of and she was very accommodating and flexible with time. She took them on multiple walks during their 6 hour stay, one of which had a beautiful picturesque view of the water reservoir. She kept in touch and sent many pictures and updates and took great care of them like they were own! Would definitely recommend her services!

Shelby and Dalton are the best! They are so responsive and accommodating!! Literally lifesavers, I work really long hours and my husband, who usually watches our dog during the day, had to travel for work last minute. Shelby and Dalton agreed to watch my pup on one of my long days and were so understanding and flexible when I had to pick her up later in the evening - truly I don’t know what I would’ve done without them! They treated her as if she were their own and she LOVED playing with their sweet pup and cuddling with one of the cats, and I got lots of updates and pictures throughout the day. I couldn’t recommend them enough, I will definitely be taking her back to hangout and play with her new best friends!

About: Growing up I have always had dogs on the property and consider them part of the family. I believe a well trained dog is loved by its owner. I am an animal lover who want to help those who have a hard time with placement. I enjoy spending time with other people's pets because I am unable to have one for myself at this time. I am currently retired so I have time to spend with them daily. I can take them to parks, beach, lakes, etc. Depends on breed and how active they are. I have aquariums, reptiles and my extended family has dogs that I am frequently around. I have had exotic, elderly, injured and sick pets in my care. I foster for the Humane Society periodically and adjust my home according to the pets needs.

About: I am a pediatric physical therapist by day and aspiring stay at home dog mom all the time. I have two little furry monsters of my own, a rescue tripod and a pointer mix. I take them all over hiking, to the beach, to the park, and they would love the company of your little furry friends too! My dogs get free range of my house and yard when I’m home and a large open living area when I’m gone. I’ve had dogs all my life and love all of them, big or small. I’ve taught my dogs some tricks and continually work on reward based training for better behavior and obedience if you are interested in that during my time with your pup! Someone is usually home or in and out every day. We wake up early for breakfast and to play and go on walks. On weekends when we are home all day we like to go on adventures and the dogs have free reign of the yard all day, but we can also keep yours more contained if they are a flight risk! I have a fenced yard to play outside and we will go on walks in the neighborhood. My dogs like to meet new friends. At my house they are allowed on the furniture

As a mom of a toy senior fur baby who’s almost 17, it’s always worrisome when she’s not in my care with her growing list of health issues and how fragile she is. But luckily I found Eden who is amazing and has the kindest, most loving energy! Her love for dogs is apparent and shows in how she cares for both her own and mine. ❤️ She carefully asked all the appropriate questions, gave me a tour of her place (along with a separate living area perfect for small dogs; connected to a dog door and outdoor dog run) and updated me throughout the stay with pictures and quickly answered any questions I had. Thanks again Eden, you’re a lifesaver and I look forward to future bookings with you! 🐶 ❤️🫶🏻

This was my first time booking a sitter but Charlie and Shanna made everything so easy! Kona has separation anxiety so it’s always hard having her stay with other people but they took the absolute best care! They sent frequent updates and photos about her day and gave extra care to help out with wiping and spraying down her paws for her allergies! Kona loves staying with them and they will absolutely be my first call the second I need to have anyone look after my dog again. Thank you so much!!

I'll care for your dog the same way I would my own. Pet care is already part of my everyday life because of my own dog, Taco. He's super active, so walks and park trips are already part of my everyday routine. I genuinely enjoy being around dogs, so dog walking and drop in visits fit naturally into my schedule. I'm available weekday afternoons and anytime on weekends. I always want dogs to feel safe and comfortable around me. On walks, I pay attention to their pace, surroundings, and anything that could stress them out. In a client's home, I follow their routine and make sure their dog feels relaxed and cared for. I treat my dog like they're my own ❤️

My family and I highly recommend Alexis and Adam as dog walkers! They walked my two German Shepherd mixes early in the morning for 16 consecutive days for an hour each while we were on vacation. Always on time, always submitting report cards with photos and the route they walked. On top of that, my dogs, who are rescues with shyness or aggression toward strangers AND severe dog reactivity on walks, LOVED Lex and Adam! As a professional dog trainer and walker myself, I’m extremely careful with people who interact with my dogs, and Lex and Adam exceeded my expectations! It’s clear to me that they take caring for their clients’ dogs seriously and both are extremely nice and personable. Thank you Lex and Adam!!

About: I am a very empathetic person, and I love my dog dearly. I’ve had over 15 Danes and 3 Weiner dogs and every breed needing a home in between. My dogs is what connected me to my dad, my dog helped heal him, guide him to the next stage of life and helped me grieve. I see the power in pets, and see how hard life is navigating real world responsibilities with giving our pets care when we work, travel or whatever. I bring my love from a deep rooted place of humanity, helping other humans find security peace and ease while being able to enjoy life and also let their pets have fun. I work from home, I want something where I can get my mind outside itself and walk dogs, have fun with them, give back and check in and love on other humans in my own way. Through caring for the most precious thing we have, our pets. In my own home I have a 6 year old dachshund, I would be only doing over nights if I had a trusting relationship with said client. Going to a clients home, only if my partner can watch my dog and I as well have formed a trust with client. If a dog gets along with my dachshund and the parents approve after a few interactions I can absolutely share my home.

Jane is absolutely fantastic, and if she’s available she’s the one you want to choose! She gives her undivided attention and care to my dog, and since my pup is older - Jane is mindful of her energy levels. She was also incredibly patient and understanding with my dog who tends to get nervous when I’m not around. I also 100% trust her - which makes a huge difference in “dropping in real quick” vs needing to be there to hand my dog off to her. BOOK HER SHE’S AMAZING! 😊

Our Lola is well taken care of at Josiane’s house. Lola likes her two dogs and the large enclosed yard to run around. We appreciate Josiane when we need a dog sitter.

Nina was so amazing with our dog. Very easy going and communicative, and she took lots of pictures and sent daily updates which I really appreciated. She also took Parker out to the lake, beach, etc and he looked very happy in all the pictures. Will definitely use her again!! 😊

Savanah is great with my dog and very reliable. I have no concerns leaving my dog (Kate) with Savanah for a night or even multiple nights. Always sends pictures and videos and takes Kate in adventures out of the house. We have a high energy dog (Malinois) and Savanah is very good about exercising her. We couldn't be happier with Savanah.

Michelle and Steve took great care of my pup and did an excellent job keeping me updated on how she was doing. She clearly enjoyed her time staying with them, getting to run around playing fetch and sunbathing all day. I will happily trust them with my pup next time I go out of town.

Virginia is so experienced and her apartment was the perfect, calming place for my dog, Oreo. Oreo is reactive (he lightly nips as warning) to new humans and dogs getting close, so he needs more time and space than others to settle down when he’s scared in a new spot. But Virginia was so excellent at giving him that space for the first few hours that he didn’t ever need to "tell" her (a first for him!) — she already knew how to approach him. Within hours, he warmed right up to her and became her chill buddy. She let him sunbathe on her large patio, played calming music while she worked, and communicated well with texts and photos. Virginia is super professional and personally insured for dog sitting, which I’m so grateful for. Oreo and I will be using her again! Thanks Virginia!

Roscoe was exhausted when he got home showing just how much Jason keeps him busy. Tons of photos and communication, which is impressive because Roscoe hates photos. Thank you for taking great care of our pup

Emily & Steven we're absolutely amazing! They were incredibly accommodating with any instructions we had for taking care of Messi and always provided us with regular status updates on how he was doing. Messi seemed to be very comfortable at their place and we will absolutely be reaching out again in the future :) could not recommend this family enough!

I cannot say enough good things about Alyssa and her husband! From the moment I met them, I knew Gracie would be in great hands. They are so kind, welcoming, and genuinely care for the dogs they watch. Their two pups, Odin and Freya, are absolutely wonderful, so sweet and loving, and Gracie had the best time playing with them. Alyssa kept me updated and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. Gracie came home happy, well-cared for, and clearly loved. I will 100% be booking with Alyssa again. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like family, look no further!

Ami and her son were very patient with our semi-neurotic dog, and with our scheduling! She knows and understands dog behavior - we felt like Gabriel was in good hands.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and it’s something I truly enjoy. Friends, family, and neighbors regularly trust me to feed, walk, and spend quality time with their pets while they’re away. I worked at the humane society, so I have experience with various breeds and temperaments. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique needs—whether that’s high-energy playtime, gentle care for senior dogs, or helping reinforce basic training. I prioritize safety, routine, and making sure your pet feels comfortable and loved. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is in good hands. I’m currently working part-time as a nanny, so I have plenty of time to be with your pet! I’m available on the weekends and Monday-Wednesday I own a home in Talmadge with a fully fenced yard, offering a safe and secure space for pets to play and relax. My quiet, secluded neighborhood is ideal for calm, enjoyable walks. I closely supervise all outdoor time and prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort, and routine so they feel right at home.
