About: I have taken care of dogs of usually small size since I was child . I trained my dogs properly and we have an all kind of dog toys and treats. Mostly I work from home and i have a 1.5 years old 10 pounds mini poodle . We can take care of the 1 dog with our Poppy. I live an apartment next to a park. Depending on your pet , we would like to offer short or long walks, play time and treats.
About: I know how important it is to find someone who will treat your pup like family while you're away. I work from home full-time, so your dog will always have company and lots of cuddles throughout the day. - I only host one client at a time, so you dont have to worry about unfamiliar dogs during their stay. -Whether your dog loves playtime, long walks, cuddles on the couch, or a slower-paced routine, I’m happy to match their needs. -I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels. I also have experience with dogs with separation anxiety and food or environmental allergies. 📷 You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pup is happy and well cared for. **I live in an apartment building, so I can't safely accommodate large dogs that are reactive to people or other dogs, since it's not possible to completely avoid encounters in shared spaces.** I can accommodate regular walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and check-ins, and I’m able to adjust my routine to meet your dog’s needs. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my priority. I follow all care instructions, use leashes on walks, and provide a calm, secure environment with regular updates.
“Aoife was wonderful with my dog. From the meet and greet to his day staying with her. My dog can be anxious and Aoife definitely had a calming, caring energy that had a positive impact. She responds quickly to communication and is helpful in very way. Highly recommend.”
About: I live in the city and work for myself, so my hours are flexible! I absolutely love training dogs and puppies, as well as taking care of each animal as if it was my own! I fostered a few puppies, including very aggressive ones, and then happened to adopt the last one I fostered- my pup, Rosie! Rosie doesn’t live with me on the days I have available for pet sitting. I’m very good with reactive and anxious dogs as those are mainly the ones I’ve fostered. Also, I’m confident in high stress scenarios, including reactivity, health issue scares, or sudden crisis situations. I work from home as a business owner, managing my own hours. It’s easy for me to do a last-minute bookings or plan in advance. I treat all animals as if they’re my own, meaning, I feed and walk them at their proper hours, consider their feelings, and respect the wishes of their owners!

We’re incredibly grateful and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”

“Chang was wonderful in watching Mia, who immediately seemed at ease with her. Chang was able to get her to relax and eat some of her food and also treated Mia to a pup smoothie bowl that she enjoyed. We also appreciated Chang's prompt responses to our messages and all the pictures and updates she shared. We're glad we found Chang on short notice.”

We didn't know how long the 3 ceremonies would take, and he told us that he would help us for whatever we needed. With all that was going on for us, he offered comfort in taking care of our beloved Toby.”
“Corey and Nyla were great with Lola and Coco. They put me at ease with their experience, approach and good communication.

Can’t wait for my next adventure with her!””

About: Growing up I always owned animals as I love all kinds of animals from big to small.
