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! I always provide a loving, peaceful environment where your dog feels secure and content, whether I'm taking care of dogs in your house or mine. I take great care to feed, walk, play, and cuddle them in the same manner that they are accustomed to. No matter where they are, I make sure they feel at home by keeping everything tidy, comfortable, and loving.

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.

Patricia is great with my dog; she’s resourceful with finding ways to get her to walk when she’s being a big baby, and proactive about ensuring the walk is peaceful by avoiding possible triggers.

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.

I am currently only attending school on Friday mornings from 8am to 12pm. I will update my schedule once I go back to tutoring or when my classes change. I will ensure that your pets get the care they need and the exercise they need. I will also pay attention to any requests your pets may need.

About: I’ve been a trusted babysitter and pet sitter for family and friends since I was around 14. I’ve cared for children of different ages as well as pets, helping with feeding, playtime, routines, and daily needs. I also have experience providing care for an elderly family member, assisting with daily routines and post-surgery care. This has made me very patient, attentive, and comfortable handling responsibility. I’m reliable and always make sure everyone I care for feels safe, comfortable, and well looked after. I’m currently a student and work part-time, so I have a flexible schedule. I’m available on weekends and weekdays after classes, and I can adjust my availability when needed. I’m open to drop-ins, walks, or longer stays, and I always try to be as accommodating as possible for each family’s routine. I prioritize safety and comfort in every home I care for. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, and any specific instructions. I make sure pets feel secure and cared for while their owners are away, and I always keep communication open with updates and check-ins.

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.

About: I’ve taken care of my siblings dogs when they are away at work. I feed them, walk them, and keep them company for a while. I am currently unemployed and not in school, so I have enough free time to look after animals. From walking dogs to checking on them. I make sure the gates are closed if the client has a yard. I also make sure to avoid walking to bigger dogs when outside.

About: I am a lifelong animal lover and pet caretaker, with tons of experience with dogs of all sizes, multiple breeds, puppies, and senior dogs! I was born and raised in Illinois, where I grew up as a caretaker for multiple cats and a German Shepard/Newfoundland mix named Henry, who I helped take care of with my family. I took care of my family’s chihuahua and acclimated him to a new environment. I have taken care of dogs and cats with plenty of unique situations who needed extra love! I moved to Las Vegas in 2016, and I am currently the co owner of 3 rescue pups, who require plenty of love, walks, and playtime. I adopted my dog Zeyda when she was 12 weeks old, and I worked with her a lot using positive reinforcement and attended training with her to help her gain confidence, learn basic life skills and tricks, and walk on a loose leash. I love helping pets and making them happy, giving each one the unique love and care that it needs. I am off during the summer (until August 1st) so I have very open availability! During the rest of the year I work full time, so I am typically available on weekends as well as evenings during the week. I may be available during the week around holidays as well. I have a 2 story house with a fenced yard, and a dog run across the street. My gated neighborhood is dog friendly and perfect for walks. My 2 roommates and I take care of 3 dogs, and they are friendly and loving.

About: I’m sure all sitters say this but I genuinely have a seat for being with animals. Sometimes I prefer them over people and treat them like they’re my own. I love all of their personalities and quirks. Anywhere I go I ask to pet someone’s dog and respect what the dog’s body language is telling me. I have a Siberian husky so I have had to learn how to read body language and potential environmental stressors very well. I invest a generous amount of time into learning about dog breeds and am always opening to learning more! Currently, I am home for the holidays with plenty of time to care for your pets while you’re away! I have access to a car and am eager to work. Extensive experience with dogs, slightly less with cats but always open to caring! I love giving them constant stimulation and walks. Pets and treats are always given. I treat all dogs like they’re my own. I have an eye on them almost at all times.

About: Although I am new at pet sitting, I have extensive experience caring for dogs for an extended time due to my experience in veterinary medicine. I have cared for all ages of dogs and cats, as well as cared for many other species. I have a special interest in exotic animals especially, as I love caring for these mostly misunderstood creatures. If you need a sitter and another best friend for your dog, cat, lizard, snake, guinea pig, bird, turtle, rabbit, or somewhere in between, I’m here! I’m working full time at my veterinary clinic, so my availability is limited. I have 3 off days weekly, free mornings and evenings on work days. I will pay close attention to your care instructions, including feeding times, walk times, medication times, and ensure your pet’s needs are met within those time frames. In addition, I will monitor your pet for anything out of the norm for them and bring it up to your attention. Signs of anxiety, vomiting, diarrhea, or possible illness will be brought up with you. If possible, I will go above and beyond to make sure your pet is as comfortable as possible while you are away. This may include playing calming music, treats, praise, etc. I care for your pet as I would for my own.

About: I’m great with communication and patience. I have experience taking care of small-big dogs for years whether it be for family members, my own and to even taking care of a bearded dragon for a few months for school. Nonetheless I do my research beforehand and offer a safe space for your pet with lots of room and privacy I currently work part time and do online school at my own pace. I’m free all week Monday-Sunday mornings-mid day. Late afternoons I take night shifts 3 days out of the week, but for the most part I am free. Communication is very much appreciated I live in an open spaced floor, so it shouldnt be an issue with roaming around . As I’ve mentioned, I have a gray female tabby(spayed) and a male golden retriever(not fixed).No matter the size my dog is open to playing and enjoys the company of other dogs but if you’d like me to crate or separate by any means, I am able to provide that. Only you know your pet/s best so I’m able to provide any adjustments you’ll need for them and their safety

Melanie was new to my dogs, Leo and Gigi, so I was a little nervous at first—but any worries disappeared immediately. She is incredibly sweet, patient, and genuinely kind, and my dogs clearly felt comfortable with her right away. Melanie was so gentle and attentive, always following their rhythm and needs. She also provided thoughtful daily updates after each walk, which gave me total peace of mind. It was clear Leo and Gigi were in great hands, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

I was lucky to find Laura. Our regular dog walker had an emergency situation so I had to find someone to walk my dog for 2 days. My dog is 15 and moves sometimes at a snails pace but my dog liked her walks with Laura so much she had an extra pep in her step. She also ensured my dog had fresh water before she left. She is caring and compassionate. We were lucky to have found her on such short notice.
