About: I've had my own pets both cats and dogs since I was in college. I understand what it takes to care for and love on both cats and dogs. I'm comfortable working with both large and small dogs. I have a 50+ pound lab mix and 2 medium sized springer spaniels, in the past we had 2 miniature schnauzers so understand what's needed for big and small pets. I have lots of puppy experience and my 2 springers are geriatric girls needing extra patience and care. I'm happy to take care of rowdy, enthusiastic pets and more laid back furry babies as well. I'm currently going to school on-line to get my master's degree, and have 2 children in school, this gives me plenty of time during the day to care for your family members. I have 2 elderly dogs, 1 zippy younger dog and a cat-- which means I have a plenty of experience caring for animals of all ages. I work hard to make sure your fur babies are comfortable with me and have the patience to work with your pets so they trust me.

“What an amazing treat for our 10 month old Labradoodle. This was the first time we've ever had anyone other than ourselves walk Bento. Tanesha immediately put us at ease and we could see that Bento was immediately drawn to her. It was so nice to come home and see his happy face, knowing that he had enjoyed a great walk when he otherwise would've been alone all day. After such a positive experience, we are hopeful to use her dog walking services again on a routine basis. Huge thank you to Tanesha for such a lovely experience. It's clear that she takes great pride in her work, and we feel very lucky to have found her.”

About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and patience I bring to every pet I care for. I treat every dog like they’re my own—whether that means getting on the floor to play with a high-energy pup or taking slow, gentle walks with a senior dog who needs extra care. I have experience with senior care (including administering medications and accommodating mobility issues). I’m also great at reading dog body language and making shy or anxious pups feel safe and loved. My goal is always to keep your pet happy, healthy, and comfortable while you're away. I'm currently a full-time at home student and stay at home partner so I have plenty of time for all your pets needs outdoors or otherwise! I have an apartment with some larger open spaces, a pet friendly couch, an outdoor porch, a walking trail 3 minutes away, and a dog park 15 feet from my door!

“Cindy has been walking my doggy for several weeks now and is a delight! Moon is very happy to see her and definitely has a better day after her walk. Cindy is consistent and communicative and I am really glad to have found her!”

“I cannot recommend Christyn enough, I needed last minute care for my large chocolate lab Chip who is not easy to walk and Christyn provided me with a peace of mind while I was out of the country. Thank you so much!!”

About: I've been around animals most of my life and have spent lots of time taking care of them whether they be my own, friends, or relatives Just finished my first year at college and currently on summer break so I have plenty of free time available to help out however I can. If they are low energy I usually stay inside with them, take them out when needed, make sure they have water, fed at the right time, etc. If they're high energy then I take them for a walk, play in a fenced yard, nearby dog park, or if there is a good place inside the house to do so then maybe there as well. It all comes down to what the pets need at what time.

“Very friendly walker. Our puppy joy was immediately at ease with Emma, she was kind and caring for our energetic, goofy girl. Will definitely look for her in the future if we require extra help! Can’t recommend her enough!”

About: I’ve taken care of many different kinds of dogs starting my early years of middle school for family, friends, and neighbors! I have experience in overnight sitting and dog walking. I am a college student who is home a few times during the year with free availability! Additionally, available up to three months during the summers while working a part time job. Having a pup of my own, I am more than able of keeping your pup watched over and well taken care of. As long as I am aware of your pups desires and quirks, I am more than willing to adjust to them :)

About: I've grown up with both dogs and cats and have always loved animals. I started out just watching pets for friends and family as a favor, but now have a work from home job with a flexible schedule. So Im always looking for a reason to get out and go for a walk! I am always looking for more reasons to get out and go for walks. I have a young daughter who has some medical complications, so I wear her in a front pack when we walk with dogs. I love the exercise, she loves being outside, and we both enjoy a good snuggle with our Corgi, Frank, or any new furry friend! I am happy to take your furry friend on a walk around the block or up to 3 miles at a time! I am comfortable using a variety of collars and training tools, and like to keep treats on hand for positive reenforcement. :)

“Elana is awesome! Very attentive, good listener. She handled our crazy 2 year old like a champ and took kind care of our old boy. Thank you Elana!”

About: I've been running my own pet-sitting and dog walking business since college and absolutely adore spending time with pets of all shapes and sizes. Over my years of housesitting, I have stayed with dogs and cats of all ages and have gained a great amount of experience in caring for senior dogs - even those with specific medical needs (pill routines, care for diabetic dogs, dogs with skin conditions, etc.). I am also very familiar with caring for anxious dogs and will always show patience and understanding to meet the needs of pups who lean more towards nervous side. If you are interested in having me as your house sitter, please let me know at least a week in advance so that I can stop by to meet you and your pet and learn their routine. I know changes can be hard for some pets, so I hold great value in adapting to their schedule to ensure that they are comfortable and happy while their humans are away. I do not currently have other commitments outside of pet sitting, so I am available to spend as much time with your critters as they need! I may have to leave on occasion but will always ask your pet's individual time limit so that they are never home alone for too long. As mentioned, I am dedicated to your pet's comfort and will adapt to the daily schedule they have in their own home. This includes feeding and walking schedules, play time, and any other routines they might have.

“Thank you Tim! We’ll book again for next week. :)”

About: I have been caring for animals all my life, I’m a believer that dogs and cats should be treated like they are your own children not just an animal. I will go above and beyond to care for your pet like it’s my own and utilize my broad spectrum of experience to create a custom care plan that suits your pets every needs and ensures they feel like family. In the past I’ve cared for dogs of all ages through all the stages of life. Some of my key experiences and abilities that set me apart from other sitters are the following. Training: I have trained dogs of all ages a majority of my experience comes with training younger dogs (2 and under) but I have also helped others with training of older animals. I believe positive reinforcement is the best method of training and should be used when ever possible. Medical needs: I have cared for dogs with a wide range of medical needs from caring for senior dogs to puppies with basic issues like worms. If you dog has any medical issues I’m able to administer oral medication (pills or liquid) and I’m able to do injections on tolerable dogs. If your dog is experiencing any issues I will ensure they are watched closely and you are updated daily/every visit with how they are doing. Care and communication: I will be ensuring your pet gets all the attention they could want and that all the needs they have are getting fulfilled. During my visit I will take notes of everything that goes on. Communication is one of my strong points and I’m willing to adapt to what ever level of communication you need. Adaptability: I can adjust to most any situation you have and will be able to provide you with a personal experience based on you and your pets needs and desires. Above and beyond caring for you pet: if you are away from home I am able to take care of routine house items to ensure you come back to a home that’s in the same or better condition than when you left. If you need anything like this please let me know prior to booking confirmation to ensure I’m able to provide these needs. My current work schedule has me being in office for 5-10 hours a week those days are relatively flexible and able to be adjusted to some extent. I will update my rover calendar to reflect my office hours and outside of that I’m normally available from 7am to 8pm but if you need care outside of those hours I am flexible and willing to work with you. If you book any appointments with me where your dog will be at my home there will be one other person (my wife in profile photo) and my dog (optional) who will interact with your fur baby. I have one dog at home who is an angel with other pets if I’m caring for your own dog in my home I will ensure they meet in a neutral place prior to me taking them in to ensure they get along and will be a good fit for each other. I have a dog park at my apartment complex that I’m able to take your dog to which often has other friendly dogs who love to make new friends

“Winter is fantastic with my 9 year old lab mix. She has also been helping walk a friend's 1 year old Golden retriever and has been great with both of them. She is very flexible and reliable.”

About: I have owned pets for as long as I can remember. Pets bring such joy to a home. I am grateful that I have learned how to take care of animals from a young age. I have adopted dogs, and been adopted by a couple of cats! I have also raised chickens over the past 20 years. My heart has a special place for our senior pets that may need a little extra care and understanding. Currently, I own the fluffiest, most affectionate cat who thinks he is a dog! His best buddy was the dog I was raising to be a guide dog. I have 2 years of dog training with dogs who have gone on to be therapy dogs. Looking forward to meeting you are your pet! Let's schedule a "meet and greet" so see if we are a good fit!. My hours are flexible, so let's see what you need! I am enjoying working from home, now that I have left my busy work commute to Seattle. I am happy to get out to walk, visit furry friends and give them the attention they need. I am available for drop ins and walks. I can administer medications, respect any special needs for your furry ones, and love to walk, run or play with them! Or just keep them company with love and affection.

“Jacob walked our dog, Bruno while we were out of town for 4 days. He was punctual and his communication was extremely appreciated. This was the first time having someone else walk our dog and my wife and I felt very comfortable leaving our dog in his very capable hands. He took Bruno on different walks each day and sent us pictures of his adventures! We would be thrilled to have Jacob take care or walk Bruno in the future. Thanks for taking such good care of our boy, Jacob!”
