About: I've taken care of dogs since I was little and have always had big dogs so im not afraid of them. I've pet sit for my friends and family many times and have had no issues at all even with their older dogs that need medicine at specific times or young puppies that are very acccident prone.

Im available after 3:30 Tuesdays and Thursdays for walks or playtime. And afternoons after 5 on Monday Wednesday and Fridays for any late night pet sitting. I have a fenced yard and a big living room with parks near me that are great for walks. For clients home im very adaptive and can keep pets occupied and cared for depending on the service.

About: Around two years ago, my friend and I were coaching a Little Diggers Volleyball team in our local town when we saw some kittens in a storm drain. We didn’t see their mother, and we sat there for about two hours waiting for her when she didn’t show, we decided to rescue the kittens, and I brought 2 into my own home. For about a year and a half, I raised the kittens and absolutely loved them. I decided they would get more freedom at my grandparents, farmhouse, catching mice and snakes, and they are healthy and happy there now! I always considered myself a dog person until my encounter with these two amazing kittens, patches and pumpkin

“Paul is AMAZING! We met him at a neutral park first. My PJ liked him. Then we met Blaze, who is a very friendly pup. Paul sent pictures and was very responsive while I was gone. I will DEFINITELY call on him again!”
“Edward was great! Kept us up to date on what Chance was doing and how he was doing with eating and drinking. I got multiple pictures of Chance looking comfortable and cozy during his stay.”
“Thank you, Tamara, for taking such good care of our Schultz during our daughter's wedding weekend. He seemed so content and enjoyed your dogs as company. We look forward to using your services again!”
“I highly recommend Makayla Pet Sitters! My three dogs received the care and attention they needed, and she kept me posted on my babies. Mayla is very friendly, trustworthy and dependable. You will not be disappointed!”
“My dog and cat did wonderfully with Gisella! They stayed over the weekend and I received plenty of updates with photos. Both my pets require medications and Gisella had no problem with administering them. Gisella and her husband are both very kind and pleasant people and I felt very comfortable communicating with both of them. I will be booking with them again!”
“We had an awesome experience with London! Communication was great the whole time and she kept us in the loop. Our pup got along super well with Sancho (Pretty sure she still misses him haha). Everything went super smooth and we’d totally trust her again. Highly recommend!!!”
“My dog has so much energy and he came home wore out. Jessica sent me video of him playing and having fun at the dog park right by her home. He also got a cute Halloween scarf and goodie bag. Will book again!”
About: Hi! I'm Olga, and dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with all kinds of dogs, from Miniature Poodles and Labs to four Dachshunds, so caring for dogs is nothing new to me. I have two dogs of my own, Atlas and Gaia, who are fully trained and well behaved. I've also trained them myself, along with helping train a few other family dogs over the years. I currently provide in home boarding and daycare for dogs and treat every pup like one of my own. I pay close attention to their behavior and well being, and I'l always keep you updated about anything I notice, whether it's an upset stomach, diarrhea, resource guarding, unusual behavior, or anything else that may be important. My goal is simple: for your dog to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while they're with me. 🐾 ❤️ Dogs are already a big part of my everyday life, and I'm home often, so caring for pups fits naturally into my routine. I enjoy having them around and giving them plenty of attention, playtime, and care throughout the day. I provide a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment where dogs can relax, play, and feel at home. I follow their normal routines as closely as possible and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and supervision throughout the day. I have a large backyard where the dogs can run and play, plus a little dog pool for them to cool off and have fun outside. I also enjoy playing fetch, spending time with them, and giving them plenty of attention throughout the day. I'Il adjust activities based on each dog's energy level and what they enjoy most.
About: Animals have been my entire life and passion. I grew up caring for them and have extensive, hands-on experience handling all types of personalities, sizes, and needs. My background includes working on a ranch where I managed boarding operations and administered medical care for both large and small animals. I am deeply committed to animal welfare. I have also spent years volunteering with multiple city Trap-Neuter-Return/Release (TNR) programs, which taught me how to safely handle anxious or fearful animals with patience and respect. I love all animals and treat every guest like family. Your pet will be staying in a home that is truly optimized for their safety and well-being.I work from home full-time with a highly flexible schedule, which gives me 24/7 availability. I take frequent breaks throughout the day to play, walk, and monitor your pet, ensuring constant supervision. Thanks to my ranch and TNR background, I have expert handling skills and understand animal behavior well. I can comfortably handle high-energy or shy pets, and I am fully confident administering oral medications, injections, or following strict medical routines.Because I work from the comfort of my home, your pet will rarely be left alone. Our daily routine includes regular potty breaks, structured playtime, and plenty of mental stimulation. Whether your pet needs a high-energy day of fetch or a quiet, comfortable space to snooze next to my desk, I easily adapt to their specific schedule and habits. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I work from home full-time. My schedule allows me to stay with your pet almost 24/7, ensuring they are rarely left alone. Throughout the workday, I have a set routine where I take three 15-minute breaks and one full 1-hour break. I use this time to focus completely on your pet by taking them on walks, playing, or giving them potty breaks. Because my job keeps me at my desk, your pet can sleep or relax right in the same room with me all day, or they can rest in a separate room if they prefer quiet time. On weekends and evenings, my schedule is completely open for longer walks, grooming, and extra socialization. I tailor my care entirely to the unique needs of each animal, whether they are staying with me or if I am visiting your home. Thanks to my experience working on a ranch and volunteering with city trap-neuter-return programs, I am highly skilled in reading animal behavior and handling fearful, anxious, or high-energy pets. I maintain strict safety protocols, double-check that all gates and doors are secure, and follow your exact feeding and exercise instructions. If your pet has medical needs, I am fully qualified to administer oral medications and injections safely. I keep a clean, stress-free environment and adapt the daily setup based on your preferences and what fits the specific service you book.
About: I am a trusted rover sitter and I have been caring for dogs all my life. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, giving oral and injectable medication and caring for high-needs pets, and I always treat every pet as if they’re my own! Myself and my home are always committed to keeping your dog happy and healthy. My schedule is flexible and I can accommodate most booking requests. I am able to give pets my full time and attention especially when staying with me at home. Pets that stay with me will receive ample amounts of love and attention as well as mental and physical stimulation to help ease the transition.
About: I’ve grown up with pets and taken care of friends and family’s animals. My dogs in particular had health issues, such as diabetes, that taught me a deeper level of animal care. With that, I learned how to administer insulin injections and respond to seizures. My job is flexible during the week, so I can adjust my hours to your pets needs! I do not have work or any other regular obligations during the weekend, too. I can bring the pet to my home where I live with my sister. I do not have a backyard, but I do have parks I can take them to or paths to walk on. Taking care of pets at the owners house is an option. In the past, I have stayed overnight at the owners house since their dogs felt uneasy being alone at night. Overall, I am flexible with what you and your pet are comfortable with.
About: I was 12 when I got my first dog, a cocker spaniel named Megara. My parents quickly put me in charge of her, and caring for her taught me to put another's needs before my own. She gave me lifelong lessons about the love and loyalty between a pet and their owner. Today I have an Old English Sheepdog named Delphi. Other owners at the dog park often comment on how sweet she is, and she has grown into a great older sister to our family dog, Luna (who lives with my family). Between the two of them, I am comfortable with large breeds and with the extra patience senior dogs need. I have also dog sat regularly for friends, so I am used to stepping into someone else's routine and keeping their dog on it. I am very outdoorsy on top of that, so your dog will get real walks, not a quick trip around the block. As a PhD student, I work from home most of the day. My time on campus is limited to a few classes, my TA hours, and a student association meeting every other week, so I am home and available far more than someone on a standard nine to five. That flexibility is a big part of why I got Delphi at the start of my PhD. She has always had someone around to take her out during the day, and I can offer your dog the same. Before any payments or booking, I would like to set up a meet and greet so I can see how your dog responds to me. It tells me a lot, whether they warm up right away or need space, and it means the first day is not the first time we have met. This doesn't have to be long but it is a nice first impression to the dog. In my home, your dog will not be alone. Delphi is here as company, and I introduce new dogs to her slowly and on neutral ground so the first meeting goes well for both of them (like a local dog park). I live in a quiet, secure apartment community with an on-site dog park and an open field next door, plus several trails within walking distance, so your dog gets real exercise rather than being cooped up all day. Delphi is not crate trained and has free run of the apartment, but I am happy to crate your dog if that is part of their routine. Just bring the crate and let me know the schedule you use. In your home, I stick to your dog's routine rather than imposing my own. I follow your feeding times, walk schedule, and house rules, keep dogs leashed anywhere that is not fenced, and send photo updates so you know how the day went. If anything seems off with your dog, I contact you right away, and I am prepared to drive them to a vet if it cannot wait.
