Personalized care for your dog or cat - Galva

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was young. Growing up on a farm taught me how to look after all kinds of animals, and over the years family, friends, and neighbors have trusted me to care for theirs whenever they’re away. My dogs are like kids to me, so I understand how important it is to treat someone else’s animals with the same love and attention they get at home. I’m available full‑time to care for your animals and would love to welcome them into my home! I’ll make sure they’re comfortable, safe, and well‑loved while you’re away. I have a fully fenced backyard and two small dogs who would love the company. If you prefer, I can keep them completely separated, and I’m also happy to use a crate if that’s what your dog is most comfortable with.

About: I’ve spent most of my life caring for animals, and it’s something I genuinely enjoy and take seriously. I’m calm, reliable, and pretty tuned in to how animals communicate what they need, especially when they’re in a new space or off their usual routine. With over 20 years of experience caring for pets of all sizes and personalities, I’m comfortable working with senior pets, administering medications (including injections when prescribed), and supporting animals who need a little extra patience. I focus on keeping things steady and low stress so pets can relax, settle in, and feel comfortable while their people are away. Pet care is built into my daily routine rather than squeezed in around other commitments. Because I work from home, I’m able to structure my day around visits, walks, and check-ins, and adjust as needed for each pet’s schedule. I’m home throughout the day and keep a steady, flexible rhythm that allows me to be present and attentive rather than rushed. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities, whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home. I’m thoughtful about supervision, separation when needed, and making sure each pet has appropriate space to rest, eat, and decompress. I follow each pet’s usual routines as closely as possible and keep environments calm and predictable. I’m careful about doors, gates, leashes, and transitions, and I check in frequently to make sure pets are comfortable and settling in well. My approach is low stress, attentive, and focused on helping pets feel secure in whatever space they’re in.

“Slushy always feels welcome in Grandma Kathy's home. He loves the dog door and the freedom to come in and out. She also spoils him with treats.”

Mary

“Heidi was fantastic! I was so apprehensive to have my baby stay at a sitter’s house but she sent pictures and kept me up-to-date to ease my concerns. You can just feel how much she loves animals. 💕”

Andrea D.

“It’s always hard leaving your furry baby, but it’s so comforting to know they are in great hands. Mary went above and beyond to make sure our little guy felt at home. He’s a little nervous as a rescued puppy mill dog, so it’s extra hard for him to adjust; but mary made it easy for us and as stress free for Rocky as she could. We will definitely leave him with her again!”

Emily V.

“Jenni was wonderful! She was great at communicating and letting me know how Lucy was doing and even sent pictures. It made me feel so much better that she was in good hands and I didn’t have to worry and could just enjoy my trip! I highly recommend Jenni and will definitely use her again!”

Jennifer B.

“This was our first experience with Rover and therefore our first experience with Sam. We just have to say we could not be more pleased. We were visiting in Hutchinson, KS and our dog Elmer stayed overnight with Sam, his roommate and Trapper, a high energy, playful and very friendly dog. The two dogs meshed well wonderfully and got “lots of exercise” and play time. This was Elmer’s first night away from us as he is a recent adoptee and apparently he didn’t seem to miss us one bit. Sam was great about sending frequent updates and pictures while hosting Elmer which really helped alleviate any concerns we had. We wholeheartedly recommend Sam and would have no reservations about using his services again!”

About: Hi, I’m Michaela, a devoted dog mom to my 5-year-old Cavapoo, Pico, and an experienced pet care professional with 4+ years of dog grooming expertise. Your pet’s happiness and safety are my top priorities, whether it’s dog walking, boarding, or in-home care. I treat every furry friend as if they’re my own, ensuring personalized attention and love. Pico and I enjoy outdoor adventures, and I’d love to include your pup for a tail-wagging good time! Trust me to provide care that feels like home. Let’s make your pet’s day extra special! 🐾❤️ During the school year, I work full-time and have limited time at home during the day. Dogs must be able to go 8 hours without potty breaks. However, they do receive ample time in the evenings to play and exercise. Weekends are spent adventuring with pups! During the summer (May-August), I am home most days and have lots of time to care for all pets! Frequent potty breaks or walks are doable. I have a 5 year old Cavapoo named Pico who will keep all dogs company. He enjoys taking friends along with him on walks, runs, and trail adventures. He is treated as a child in our home, and your pet(s) will be as well! Dogs are allowed on all furniture and beds. Crating is available if necessary.

“It is so relaxing to leave our Cockapoo with Sarah! She’s so calm and loving to her, and sends u updates and pictures daily! We totally recommend her services!”

About: Experienced Pet Caretaker: From Puppies' Playtime to Senior Pill Prowess! I have cared for many puppies, as well as our Seniors. I love to play with the puppies, however, I love making sure the seniors get the cuddles and treats they desire! I have a senior in my own home and administer daily pills, multiple times per day. I also have a pitbull puppy who will run herself ragged outside while chasing balls, gardening, and just running around. She also loves hikes and walks! I run my own massage business for in home massage. I am only working three days a week for a few hours at a time. Taking care of the pets is really easy with my schedule! I can carve out as much time as they might need in my day. I aim to keep there routine as normal as possible. I am very flexible in making sure I can do that! I personally feed my own dogs two times per day (morning and night). I have crated my dogs at night for many years, but that is because they love their space. I don't mind having the animals out and about if that is what they prefer! I love to take my own animals on several walks per day, especially with apartment living! We can do anything from short walks to long hikes. I also have had to give my own dogs medications and am no stranger to senior care.

“We left Maggie with Alexis, Luke and Winston (Maggie’s new best friend) for two weeks. Alexis provided pictures and updates. I could see that Maggie was having a great time. They were flexible on the time that we could pick her up, and greeted us with smiles and a very happy dog. It was great to hear how much fun Maggie had with Winston. We will definitely use Alexis and Luke again.”

“Emily is super reliable and was great with our kitty! She sent us pics of her, fed her, and talked to her. Our kitty is in the process of being socialized, so she needed someone gentle and patient. Emily was absolutely the perfect fit!”

About: Hey, my name is Yinka, and I’m excited to connect with pet owners who are looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter! While I’m new to dog sitting, I lead a life of quick learning and reliability in everything I do. Spending time with dogs is something I’ve always envisioned, and I’m looking to build loving relationships with dogs of all kinds. Growing up, my sisters had a wiener dog, and ever since then, I’ve had a soft spot for those adorable little dachshunds! I’ve always thought about having a pet myself, and I’m looking forward to sharing my time and care with your furry friend in the meantime. I may not have prior professional experience, but what sets me apart is my genuine love for dogs and dedication to treating them with care and kindness. I work a 9-to-5 job during the week, which means I’m typically available on weeknights and weekends. This flexibility allows me to dedicate quality time to caring for your dog, whether it’s for walks, playtime, or just hanging out. Living on my own also makes it easy to adjust my schedule to meet your pup’s needs. As someone who values trustworthiness and reliability, I’ll care for your pet with the same attention and kindness I’d give my own. I take safety seriously and will follow any instructions or routines you provide to ensure your dog feels comfortable and loved. Whether in your home or during outings, I’ll create a safe and caring environment where your dog can relax, have fun, and feel completely secure.

“Great communication and takes lots of pictures. I can tell my dog is in good hands!”
