About: As an experienced and trustworthy dog caregiver, I provide attentive, reliable care tailored to each dog’s unique needs. With a strong background in dog nutrition and firsthand experience caring for a special-needs pup of my own, I understand the importance of patience, compassion, and individualized attention. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or specialized care, I treat every dog as if they were my own. I’m currently working at home so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your pup! I will make sure to stick to your pups routine. In my home, pets are welcomed into a safe, loving environment where they’re treated like family. I will send daily pictures and updates. I follow their usual routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and any special instructions. I have 2 friendly pups that your pup can play with!
“By far one of the best exp I’ve had with this app. Angelica took great care of my fur baby, so much she didn’t want to leave 😂 would highly recommend using Angelica.”
“I would give 10 stars if it were possible. I was so thankful to be able to find Angie last minute to care for our dog Koa. It was Koa’s first time ever with a sitter, and we were nervous because it was 9 days, but Angie was welcoming during the meet and greet, and explained about how she would care for him. She also provided additional information about the other dogs she cared for during the time we would leave Koa with her. She sent pics almost every day to provide updates on how he was doing. We are so grateful for the amazing care that Koa received from Angie. He was a happy pup, which made us happy, too!”
“This was our first time using James’s for our fur babies and both Winston and Bella just fell into a routine and made themselves right at home! He did a great job entertaining both of our dogs at the same time and loving them equally. They have different foods, and he was able to take care of each of them as they needed to be taken care of. Also, he mentioned that he would keep in touch and send pictures. He absolutely did a great job letting us know how our babies were doing even within a couple hours of dropping them off, and letting us see that they were getting the love and attention they needed. I highly recommend him, and we will use him again in the future!”

“Vanessa and her family did an amazing job taking care of my fur baby Fazo (husky) not only did she send lots of pictures, videos and updates she also informed me of any mood changes on my baby. I felt very at ease and relaxed knowing he was with the best care. I highly recommend her to anyone who has to leave their fur babies for a couple days. I will definitely be rebooking her.”

“My Dante loves Summer and her son. I was worried he would act funny after picking him up from their home but he was like I never left. Thank you Summer! Dante is my Baby and to know he was well cared gave me all the peace of mind I could have during my time away. I would have them take care of Dante again with no doubt. ❤️”

From time to time, she would send me adorable videos and photos of Asti playing or enjoying her walks outside. It was clear that my dog was in safe and loving hands. Maya truly loves what she does, and it shows in everything. From now on, I’ll trust only her to look after Asti!

About: When I was 12 a stray Tom adopted us. My mother and I would bandage him after his escapades. I have since then taken care of feral cats and helped get them spayed and neutered.

I have experience providing cats with basic, routine medical care, such as pills, topicals, and injections. I've cared for cats of all ages, from newborn kittens to seniors.
“Jennifer is the best!!!! My cats were treated so well that I didn't see any difference in their behavior after our extended departure. They were relaxed when we arrived and I could see right away that they really liked the care Jennifer gave them. Jennifer was very helpful and available. She helped us out when our trip out of the country was extended by 2 weeks. I had peace of mind knowing my cats were in good hands. Everything was clean when I arrived and my cats had missed us, but I could see that they were relaxed and well fed. seraphin, my most shy cat, was super comfortable with her, and that's a great proof of the quality of the bond Jennifer knows how to build with animals. Thank you :-)”

About: I have experience with dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities. As a foster family for the SPCA, I learned to be tender and caring with animals, while walking large dogs has taught me the importance of discipline. Walks usually go around Lake Hollingsworth or to the park! My schedule is flexible. I should be able to meet you and your pets needs and fit your schedule. I look forward to helping out however I can. Walks route through neighborhoods, lakes, or parks, allowing time for exercise, sniffing, and bathroom breaks. I monitor their behavior closely, ensure they stay hydrated, and keep them focused on the workout. If a dog moves unpredictably (or chases squirells etc.) I adjust the route or pace to keep the pet comfortable and safe.

About: As a dog sitter, I pride myself on providing the most caring and loving environment for your furry companion.

Due to myself being an art major I have more time than other students and will be able to devote more time to my passion and that’s working and caring for animals. I live in a gated apartment complex, therefore yard wise is open but limited. My apartment has more than enough space to play, sleep, and simply enjoy the presence of every furry friend.

About: Pet sitters concentrate on the care of the pet. I , however focus on not only care but also pet behavior training , and nutritionists. Pet care is built into my daily schedule with dedicated time each morning and evening for feeding, walks, playtime, and basic care. I plan my workday around these responsibilities to ensure pets receive consistent attention, exercise, and supervision. Throughout the week, I schedule additional time for longer walks, grooming, cleaning pet areas, and monitoring overall health and behavior. I stay flexible to accommodate any special needs, medications, or changes in routine. Pet care is a regular and structured part of my routine, not an afterthought. I prioritize reliability, consistency, and the well-being of the animals while balancing other responsibilities. I provide attentive, personalized care based on each pet’s routine and needs. In my home or a client’s home, I follow all feeding schedules, walking and play routines, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I ensure pets have fresh food and water, regular exercise, and plenty of attention and affection. I maintain a clean and safe environment by keeping pet areas tidy, securing doors and gates, safely storing food and supplies, and using pet-safe products. I closely monitor pets for changes in behavior or health and communicate updates with owners to ensure peace of mind. My goal is to keep pets comfortable, stress-free, and cared for as if they were my own while respecting the client’s home and preferences.

I’ve also volunteered for spca and love all kinds of pets. I am also a mother of an 8 month old and pets should be no different. I have taken care of snakes, turtles, Guinea pigs, hamsters, cats, dogs, and birds! I work as well as pet sitting so we can discuss if my schedule is good for you. I’m available even for last minute bookings as long as I have an opening. I have a fenced back yard and a large crate. Dogs bowls and lick pads for your animals! Fresh water and food is always available.
About: I'm easy to get along with and have the right amount of energy for any size pet. I'm able to take care of any of your pets needs. I've owned plenty of animals like dogs and cats and I've grown up learning how to react to a bunch of different situations and the body language of all kinds of animals. I'm currently a stay at home mom of 3 and looking to help out while also making a bit of side money. I'm good at keeping animals of all shapes and sizes under control and calm when needed. I also have a bit of knowledge in vet associated subjects. I have a good memory of routines and what pets like and specific instructions from owners. I'm a stay at home mom of 3 so besides days of the kiddos appointments I'm free all day almost everyday any time! I have a decent sized fenced in backyard with no escape holes for anyone's little escape artists! We currently do not have any pets so there's no problem if your babies don't like other animals but they do have to be okay with kids under 5, besides a train my place is pretty anxious dog friendly!

Communication was easy, and I always felt confident knowing my dog was in good hands. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker!”

“By far one of the best exp I’ve had with this app. Angelica took great care of my fur baby, so much she didn’t want to leave 😂 would highly recommend using Angelica.”
“I would give 10 stars if it were possible. I was so thankful to be able to find Angie last minute to care for our dog Koa. It was Koa’s first time ever with a sitter, and we were nervous because it was 9 days, but Angie was welcoming during the meet and greet, and explained about how she would care for him. She also provided additional information about the other dogs she cared for during the time we would leave Koa with her. She sent pics almost every day to provide updates on how he was doing. We are so grateful for the amazing care that Koa received from Angie. He was a happy pup, which made us happy, too!”

Dante is my Baby and to know he was well cared gave me all the peace of mind I could have during my time away. I would have them take care of Dante again with no doubt. ❤️”

She is an awesome sitter. Did so well that I didn’t text so much and only one drop in visit . Your fur baboes will be in Great hands with her.”
“Christian was so awesome with our Lucy girl! She stayed with him for 2 weeks and had the best time. He sent us tons of pictures and updates and made our baby his priority. It made being away from her a little easier seeing all the pics and knowing how well cared she was. He treated her just like she was his own.
