She did great with both of them and provided plenty of updates. We hope Judy will watch our pups as long as she'll have us (:”

Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

They provided consistent updates throughout our entire trip, sending a plethora of videos and photos that kept us connected to our pup. The fenced-in backyard was a fantastic perk, and we loved seeing all the adventures she went on with them. If you are looking for a five-star pet sitter, Tina and Jon are the ones for you!”

“I’m so glad we found Tina. Kallie who can be skeptical about unfamiliar situations seemed to take to her and her daughter right away. Since we rarely leave her for any length of time, we were so relieved that her stay worked out so well. Tina went beyond the call of duty - keeping us updated and sending pictures often, even cleaning Kallie’s eyes and ears. Thanks for everything Tina, and I’m sure anyone would be happy to have their dog stay with you Taffy and Mike Rodell”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have over 20 years of experience caring for them. Our family shares our home with Kay, our friendly 40-pound Australian Shepherd and Cocker Spaniel mix. She is playful, social, and enjoys having other dogs around. Dogs in our care become part of our daily routine! We enjoy regular walks, trips to the park, and plenty of playtime. We typically take several walks throughout the day, including a morning walk, a longer afternoon outing, and an evening walk. We live in a dog-friendly building complex with access to a dog park, and we also have a spacious unfenced patio where dogs can relax and enjoy fresh air while supervised. We understand that every dog has a different personality and routine, and we’ll do our best to make your pup feel comfortable, safe, and at home. We’d love to meet your dog and welcome them into our family! our routine is very dog friendly and consistent. We take our dog for 3-4 walk a day and would follow the same routine with your dog. Dogs are staying with us will be fed twice a day according to their usual schedule and will sleep in their own beds at night. On weekends we enjoy taking longer walks of up to an hour and go to our dog park at the community. Safety is our priority. Dogs are always supervised and kept securely leashed when outside, and we never allow dogs off leash outside the home. We keep potentially unsafe items out of reach and make sure the environment is comfortable

About: Dogs have always been much more than pets to me they’re genuinely one of my biggest interests. Along with caring for my own dog, I have professional experience working at a dog boarding facility, where I gained hands-on experience caring for dogs with different personalities, needs, routines, and energy levels. I’m especially interested in canine wellness, enrichment, and nutrition. With my own dog, I enjoy making homemade treats, preparing enrichment activities, and finding creative ways to keep him happy, active, and engaged. I bring that same level of attention to the dogs I care for. Whether I’m walking your dog, checking in, or staying with them, I want their time with me to actually add something positive to their day not just meet the bare minimum. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to make plenty of time for pet care throughout the week. I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine for walks, feeding, playtime, and check ins. I can also discuss specific times and availability depending on what you and your pet need. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, especially in your own home. I’ll always follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding, walks, medications, boundaries, or routines. I’m attentive to changes in behavior and will make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.
“Lina is amazing! She took such good care of George, understood his needs, shared updates throughout the day! George came home happy, calm and stress-free. We’re so glad to have found Lina and can’t wait for George to have his next daycare with her soon. Would highly recommend Lina’s services.”
“Josie had such a lovely day with Clinton, his dog, and his son! She got lots of cuddles, time to roam around the fenced backyard, and plenty of window watching, three of her favorite things. Clinton communicated well and sent lots of great photos. I’ll definitely be bringing her back!”
“Leidy was very easy to work with. Flexible and accommodating. Our dog Kiko seems to have a good time as she is normally anxious of any thing new. We look forward to working with Leidy soon. Thank you very much .”

About: Ive been a professional dog walker for 7 years in my neighborhood. Everywhere I go they ask where are the dogs?? Ive had many satisfied clients. I have slots for more dogs daily.

About: Hi there, I’m an experienced dog owner and sitter with plenty of indoor and outdoor space for four legged friends of all sizes. I have a large fenced in backyard, and love to go for hikes and runs in the great outdoors. Or for a quiet walk in the neighborhood, if that’s what your dog prefers. Either way, I’ll make sure to keep your pup happy, safe and well cared for 😊 I’m available to board your dog Thursdays through Sundays. I work from home with a very flexible schedule and always go for at least one long (min 1 hr) walk and a couple of shorter ones on workday, plus plenty of time for play. My home office has a large and very comfy couch so that we all, dogs and office worker, can keep each other company. On weekends I tend to spend a lot of time outdoors, of course taking your dog’s needs into consideration. I have a large, dog friendly house and a wonderful fenced in backyard. My own dog, a very social and energetic Havanese, will happily share her couches and lead the way on walks and runs. No small kids in the house, I have three kids in their early 20s who come and go during weekends and school breaks. One of them is a vet technician, the other two just generally great with dogs.
About: I work from home, so I’m often available throughout the day! I’ve grown up with dogs, including a black Lab who was part of my family for many years until we sadly had to say goodbye. I currently have a rescued black Lab, Toddy, from Kentucky, who I’ve had for four years now. He is my bestest friend and is pretty much attached to my hip! We also sent him to a training camp, so I have experience with e-collars if training needs to be reinforced on walks. I also foster puppies with Fetch Rescue, which has given me experience handling dogs with a variety of temperaments, personalities, and needs. Overall, I’m just a major dog lover and would love to help anyone in a pinch who needs a dog walker! I currently work from home so I often am available throughout the day! Mornings between 8:30-10am are fairly difficult but can sometimes make work as my meetings move around. I do not have a fence at my apartment but always make sure her dogs are a leashed before opening the door. Happy to take care of Dogs at someone else’s home In which I would respect like it is mine as I would want the same! I keep a camera in my house so totally respect if someone else would to the same!

About: I'm Steven, a former science teacher who turned a lifelong love of animals into full-time pet care. I've cared for my own dogs for years (John, a Yorkie, and Lucy, my senior Chihuahua) and have looked after friends' and neighbors' dogs, cats, and small pets for as long as I can remember. I'm Fear Free Certified and Red Cross Pet First Aid & CPR certified, and I'm fully insured and bonded. Teaching taught me patience, routine, and how to read what someone needs when they can't say it in words, which is exactly what good pet care takes. Every booking is handled personally by me, so you'll always know who's showing up at your door. I do this full-time, so your pet is a priority, not a side gig. For house sitting I keep your pet on their normal routine, same feeding times, walks, and bedtime, and I send photo and text updates throughout so you can relax while you're away. I follow feeding and medication instructions exactly (I give my own senior dog his meds on a strict schedule, so I take it seriously). Every booking starts with a free meet & greet so your pet and I are comfortable before anything is confirmed. Since I come to you, your pet stays in their own home, familiar surroundings, their own bed and yard, which keeps them calmest, especially seniors and anxious pets. I treat your home with respect: doors locked, mail brought in, plants watered if you'd like, everything left as I found it. I have two dogs of my own, John, a Yorkie, and Lucy, a senior Chihuahua, so I'm comfortable with everything from high-energy pups to gentle senior care.
