“Jay and Lisette have been so good with walking Bunni and Sharki for a whole week, they are not only consistently on time and always walk them a bit more time than allotted, but also take the time to wipe their paws especially when it’s nasty outside. Would absolutely recommend them to others!”


About: My deep love for puppies and all pets is what makes me unique. I'm kind, compassionate, and constantly concerned with ensuring their safety, love, and happiness. Because they deserve the very best, I treat each dog as if they were family. I’m available Monday through Thursday from 6 AM to 11 AM—perfect for morning walks, playtime, or drop-in visits to start your pup’s day off right!

About: I've own pets my whole life. From dogs to Kamoto Dragons to good fish. I take pride in having an animals love and attention. Patience is key. I currently am working on my food truck and have much down time as it's being built. I've been offering service for friends and family during this summer and it's been great. Why not help others all while meeting new pet friends. I am very respectful to the clients request in how to or how not to attend their pets. I have fenced yard and plenty of toys.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 13, mainly my own, but I’ve also taken care of friend’s and family friend’s dogs in these past 3 years, so I understand the anxiety or fear of leaving a part of your family in the care of someone that isn’t you and won’t treat your pet like you will. That’s why I always adjust and accommodate my services to every pet’s needs. When it comes to basic care of pets, I always take puppies and dogs on walks at whichever time of day that they need to go out, always making sure to bring snacks and water so they always stay hydrated and healthy. I make sure they have enough playtime inside and outside so they don’t get bored and are entertained. I understand that not every dog wants to play or can’t move too much, so I of course adjust these activities to accommodate every pet’s individual needs so they’re always comfortable and happy. I also have experience with senior care, specifically giving dogs the medicines they need at the intended hours of the day or night. It goes without saying that my main priority are the pets in my care so I also make sure to always check up on every pet at different hours and times, rarely leaving them out of my sight (while also keeping my distance if they’re resting) to ensure they’re always okay. I work part-time remotely since I finished university in March of 2024. So I have no issues with times and days that will work best for you and your pets! I care for pets in client’s homes by making sure they’re never missing anything, from food, water, toys, time to go to the bathroom, medicines if they take them, etc… I make sure pets understand I’m simply there as an aid for them and someone they can play with if they choose to! I’m simply there to ensure every pet is taken care of while also having time to play and give them their space, after all, it’s their home and they need to feel the most comfortable and safe in their own space.

“This was my first time using this service, and Khia was polite and responsive throughout the entire process. She made me feel comfortable with leaving my puppy son with her, and I will be using her service again.”


About: I have loved pets since I was a kid. I was obsessed with learning about them. After my first pet died, I was very motivated on learning about how to offer pets the very best life, and this comes through research! I have worked with a variety of animals. Working at PetSmart allowed me to get a better hands on experience as it opened a door to working with cats, sick animals who needed medication, and working with large numbers of pets. This also helped me see what methods worked and what methods to avoid when taking care of our beloved pets. I have a very flexible schedule and will be available for you and your pets. I don’t have a set schedule yet due to work and school. Safety is my top priority. You know your pet best, I will work with what I have and incorporate new techniques and ideas once your pet trusts me. I have a porch that is safe meanwhile my garage is being built at the moment.

About: As an owner of two senior dogs I have learned that they need extra patience and care. I make sure the dogs are feeling comfortable and relaxed by taking the dogs outside as they need to use the bathroom and sun bath for a while. But I also like to give them plenty of time inside if they just want to rest and be pet or cuddled. It's important they get excersise too with some play time or a walk. Pet care goes smoothly with my schedule as a mom and a flea market vendor. My husband Julian does help out in every activity with our pawed guests too. We include a free walk for every day of the stay. Dogs will be taken out to the yard on demand or twice an hour for potty times. For all dogs we will provide two separate hours of play time during the day. If a dog has high energy we will play for about 10 minutes after every potty time. Some of the safety measures with my service include having a fenced back yard, being outside with the dogs until they are ready to go back inside, and having a calm and cozy environment for each individual dog or cat guest.

For dog walking, I will ask you about your pet's favorite walking path or generally what they like to do on walks. For dog sitting, lots of playtime will occur!

“Angela is a wonderful pet care provider that goes above and beyond to ensure that each animal feels loved, safe, and taken care of. She respects dogs like family and has a natural affinity for them. She attends to every little detail, whether it's fun, feeding, daily walks, or just a few extra cuddles. As her mother, I have personally witnessed how happy and peaceful the animals are around her.

“Steven is one of those people that animals are drawn to. He has a special bond with my dog and treats him like his own. Sometimes I wonder if my dog loves him more than me! You can absolutely trust Steven to take care of and love on your pet. He’s the best!”


Montserrat J.
“Montserrat has taken care of my baby, Cookie, on numerous occasions. She always makes sure to send pictures and videos of what Cookie is doing because she always wants to let me know what’s happening with the both of them! She always discloses odd behaviors or lighthearted ones that Cookie might’ve done and what the results were so that I’m aware of possible concerns once I return. Because Cookie is a small bichon frise, Montserrat also understands that unless if he’s wearing a leash, there should be no reason he should be outside nor that the front door or back door should be wide open since he does like to run out into the street, leash or no leash! Even though I have no restrictions on where Cookie is allowed to be at, Montserrat is still careful to keep an eye on him so he never falls. Cookie mainly loves jumping onto the kitchen table, living room tables, window ledges, and couch arm rests because he likes feeling tall. Montserrat understands this so she won’t obstruct him from jumping on. If anything, she’ll help him get down or up so he never risks an injury so I really appreciate the extra precautions she takes, regardless of how hyperactive and carefree of injuries my Cookie is! When she takes him on walks, she always makes sure to dress him for the occassion so he’s warm and only has to worry about going to the bathroom. Moreover, Montserrat carries a bag with water, a bowl, and treats just in case my Cookie ever needs something on his walks. Montserrat too makes sure Cookie is exercising and having fun by playing with him and his toys to ensure he’s never bored. Overall, she’s been more than an adequate dog sitter and I trust her to keep my baby company because she’s proven to be a sincere girl that truly cares about my Cookie, his safety, and well being!”

Vanessa A.
“We have a 9 year old poodle who has many issues like anxiety and she doesn't trust many humans. This year we had an emergency leave and needed a caregiver. After talking to a few people, we decided to leave our Destiny with Vanessa. After our returnand to our surprise we saw Destiny socializing with other dogs and very comfortable with Vanessa. There are many ways to choose a caregiver for our Destiny but seeing Destiny so happy with her new pack and Vanessa, is what sold me”

She invests time and money to give her the best dog food money can buy and frequently takes her on trips to the doggy park. Anyone's pet would be in good hands with Catalina as their pet caregiver.
