About: I’ve had pets as long as I can remember, and wouldn’t have it any other way. They are the charm of any home!! I would be honored to watch your pet. I currently work from home and have three dogs myself. All very loved and get along great with other animals, including cats!! I am home all day every day and the dogs thrive when we have a guest pet. My house is set up to where I can divide the animals and they’d still be comfortable. I also have a very large 2 acre lot that is completely fenced in.

About: Years of experience taking care of dogs, both large and small! Additionally, I am the proud owner of an orange tabby cat, whom I adore endlessly. I understand and have experience with the high-energy "zoomies" and playful nature of both puppies and cats. What sets me apart from other sitters is my comprehensive experience with pets of all ages and sizes. Currently, I have a senior dog at home, so I am well-versed in providing specialized care, including administering medication, managing special dietary needs, and ensuring frequent bathroom breaks. Friends and family have relied on me to watch, walk, feed, and play with their pets. My love for animals drives my dedication to caring for your pets. I am committed to providing your pets with the same level of dedication and affection that I give to my own furry friends. As I transition back into work and prepare to return to school next year, I find that pet care fits seamlessly into my flexible schedule. Living at home allows me the freedom to manage my time efficiently, accommodating both my responsibilities and personal pursuits. My flexible hours enable me to adapt to the needs of pet owners, whether it's for daily walks, feeding schedules, or overnight stays. I prioritize my commitments, ensuring that I can dedicate ample time to providing quality care for pets while also pursuing my hobbies and professional goals. Incorporating pet care into my routine not only aligns with my current lifestyle but also enriches it, fostering a sense of responsibility, compassion, and companionship that I deeply value. When caring for pets in their own homes, I prioritize creating a comfortable and familiar environment for them. Here's how I typically approach pet care in clients' homes: Initial Assessment: Before starting any care routine, I conduct a thorough assessment of the pet's needs and the home environment. This helps me understand their routine, any medical requirements, and specific instructions from the pet owner. Establishing Routine: I strive to maintain consistency by following the pet's usual routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding times, bathroom breaks, exercise, and playtime, ensuring minimal disruption to their daily life. Environmental Enrichment: I create a stimulating environment for the pet by providing toys, interactive games, and enrichment activities tailored to their preferences. This helps prevent boredom and promotes mental stimulation and physical activity. Safety and Security: I prioritize the safety and well-being of the pet by ensuring that the home environment is secure and free from potential hazards. This includes securely closing doors and windows, removing toxic plants or substances, and safely storing any cleaning supplies or household items. Health Monitoring: Throughout my time with the pet, I keep a close eye on their health and behavior, noting any changes or concerns. This includes monitoring their appetite, hydration, bathroom habits, and overall demeanor. In case of any issues, I promptly communicate with the pet owner and seek veterinary assistance if necessary. Personalized Care: Every pet is unique, so I tailor my care approach to suit their individual needs and preferences. Whether it's administering medication, providing extra cuddles for comfort, or accommodating specific dietary requirements, I ensure that each pet receives personalized attention and care. By following these guidelines and maintaining open communication with pet owners, I strive to provide a reliable, compassionate, and professional pet care service that gives both pets and their owners peace of mind while they're away.

About: Hi, My name is Maarten and twenty-nine years ago, I applied for an internship at Artis, a zoo in Amsterdam. As luck would have it, I didn't get the job and life took me in a different direction. Now I am 45 years old and fate has finally delivered me to a spot where I can get back to my childhood dream of working with animals. I grew up in a household filled with animals: dogs, cats, guinea pigs, fish, rats and parrots. This nurtured a wide knowledge of animal care. Over the years, we've had 9 dogs, all of which I trained myself. At the moment, I am raising a 1.5 year old German Shepherd and a 6 month old BullMastiff mix. I want to say that over the years, dogs have grown especially close to my heart. To be honest, they have completely taken over. At the moment, I work part-time as a kennel attendant for S.A.F.E. Pet Rescue. Although I consider it a dream job, my long-term goal is to open up my own doggy daycare. Approach to Dog Walking: I believe that every dog is unique and deserves the utmost care and respect. I approach dog walking with a big smile and a warm heart. My goal is to create a fun and lively experience for your dog, making each walk a joyful adventure. During our walks, I'll ensure your furry friend's safety and well-being, while also encouraging positive behavior. Wednesday and Thursday I work for S.A.F.E. Animal Shelter. The rest of the week I am available between 08:00 and 15:30. Evening visits can be planned by special request. The safety of your pets and property are my main focus. Before you take me on as your pet profesional we will go over your dog's/cat's strengths and weaknesses to ensure a healthy happy and safe experience.

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for both dogs and cats of different sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities, including puppies and high-energy breeds. I'm patient, reliable, and understand that every pet has unique needs. I provide playtime, walks, feeding, fresh water, and plenty of attention and affection. I'm also comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering basic medications if needed, and keeping owners updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. My goal is to make your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved as if they were my own! I currently have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week, allowing me to accommodate drop-in visits, walks, and pet care needs at various times of the day. During the summer, I have the time to provide attentive and reliable care for pets. I prioritize each pet's safety, comfort, and routine by following all care instructions carefully. I make sure pets have fresh water, are fed on schedule, get plenty of attention and exercise, and are always supervised as needed. In clients' homes, I respect their space, keep the environment clean and secure, and provide regular updates with photos and messages.

About: I’ve had dogs for my entire life both big and small. I’ve also volunteered at the SAFE dog shelter for about 6 months. I absolutely love all animals but especially dogs!

I’m extremely fun and playful so I would just follow your wishes of how you wanted your dog to be taken care of. I also enjoy taking walks.

About: Hi, My name is Rebecca. I have had animals my whole life and love them so much. I love all of God’s creatures. I have always had a special place in my heart for animals. I stay at home, so I am flexible. I’ve always heard people say that you should do something you love and caring for animals is what I love to do. I can feed pets and walk them throughout the day. I can give them play time and some affection and attention. And I can also watch your pet overnight for any reason. I can bathe pets and do some minor grooming. I know animals are a special part of people’s family, and I will treat them with love and care.

I’m currently working part time so I have availability to help out with pet sitting any time. Please let me know when and where you need me. Thanks! I have a fenced backyard and will be open to having your pet stay here or I can help you out by pet sittting at your place also.

About: I’ve always had a family dog, and now have a golden retriever of my own. Having her in my life is very therapeutic and beneficial to my well being. I’m a full time online student and have a golden retriever that I get to take care of every day. My schedule is flexible as I need more income that works around my schoolwork. I take my dog outside every couple of hours, we go for walks around the complex, play outside at the dog park, spend time playing inside, and lots of training treats!

About: I have always had a dog from as far back as I remember, and have helped transport and foster dogs. I have volunteered at several shelters and have dog sat for people who have had 6 dogs at a time. I love dogs and enjoy cuddling and playing with all of them, even the slobbery pups. I am more than willing to send pictures and/or texts to update you on your dog as well. With your approval, we do dog parks and pup cups. I also enjoy making homemade treats. I hope to have some fun with your dog soon!! I work from home so I am here with the animals all day unless I need to run an errand. I can take your dog for numerous potty breaks through out the day— we can walk or I have a fenced in yard. I allows dogs anywhere in my home. There is no space blocked off and I have multiple dog beds-- they can choose whichever one they like. I have a toy box of toys and more dog treat assortments than human snacks. My pups are super spoiled and I will be treating your dog the same. I work from home so I am here if your pup has separation anxiety, needs additional care, or potty breaks. Most activities I do outside the home are dog friendly as I love taking my pups out and about. Pups (& cats) are welcome on all furniture—there are multiple dog beds throughout our home if your pup likes their own space and bed. I have yet found an animal that my pups are not good with. They are great at including others in play time or if your pup is chill they are happy to play with just each other. I have a crate if your pup need’s crated.

About: I will treat your animals with the best love and care a mommy can give 😊 My schedule is flexible. I am a Realtor as well. I have three kids, so the pet needs to be kid friendly preferably, but not a deal breaker! I use to use this pet care app in Hawaii when my kids were younger, I figured I would be available again for pet owners in need because I truly enjoyed it! I am able to follow instructions and learn if your pet needs any specific type of treatment etc. I would love to give my best to your animal! I am flexible, I work as a Realtor so I can make my own schedule more flexible based on your needs. I currently have 2 kids in school. I would prefer if I cater to your animal at your home. Whether that be drop in visits etc. I do not mind going to your home multiple times a day if it’s needed, if you’re out of town etc.

About: I am very good with all animals and get along well with every one that I come across. I have experience training a little. I am very loving and caring but can be stern when needed. I am currently on a break from working so I have plenty of time to care for your pets and play all day. Animals are my passion and love to spend as much time as I can with them. I am respectful of they’re territory and understand it can take a little time to get used to having someone new in they’re space. I make sure to also follow all owner rules and regulations.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, and plan on going to vet school! I have spent my whole life caring for my dogs through basic care and training. I am currently an intern at my local vet clinic and have just finished up my first year of undergrad as an animal science major. I have taken countless animal science classes that have taught and certified me in basic pet care, first aid, and animal behavior. I’m currently on summer break with a part time internship so I have quite a bit of time to focus on your pet! I will be going to college out of town this fall, but until then I will be available. I have a fenced in yard and two other dogs who are all friendly and accommodating! I also live in a very walkable and safe neighborhood so I am able to walk your dog as many times as needed.

About: 🐶 What Sets Me Apart: ✔️ 30 years of hands-on dog experience ✔️ Familiar with breed-specific behaviors and needs ✔️ Skilled in senior dog care and administering medications ✔️ Great with shy, anxious, and rescue dogs ✔️ Reliable, punctual, and communicative Hi there! My name is Timothy, and I’ve spent the last 30 years loving, caring for, training, and bonding with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. From high-energy puppies to wise old seniors, dogs have always held a special place in my heart—and in my home. I truly believe dogs aren’t just pets—they’re family. That’s exactly how I treat every pup I care for. Whether your dog needs a weekend sitter, daily walks, playtime, or just a lot of belly rubs and love, I provide a safe, calm, and affectionate environment where they’ll feel at home and cared for like my own. When I care for pets in your home, I treat your space with respect and your pet with compassion. I follow your instructions to a T—meals, walks, playtime, medications, and bedtime routines. I take time to bond with your dog so they feel safe and loved in their familiar environment. I also keep you updated with pictures and notes so you can enjoy peace of mind while you're away. Whether your pet is high-energy, needs special care, or just wants a cuddle buddy, I adapt to their needs and give them the same level of care I’d want for my own.

“Paisley responded positively to Kylie immediately! I felt very comfortable leaving her in Kylie's care. Kylie is a very pleasant young woman, and I enjoyed meeting her.”

About: What Sets Me Apart I watch and sit for all kinds of dogs, and when I show up, your pet will be happy to see me. Whether your dog is nervous around new people, reactive, or just a little quirky — I’m patient, calm, and fully present. Your pet will be safe, fed, exercised, and genuinely enjoyed. I talk to my dogs like they understand me, play treat-finding games, and a walk on the beach is never out of the question. I’m also experienced caring for dogs on medications — oral, ointment, eye drops — and dogs with special diets. As a retired veteran, I’m home all day. Your pet isn’t a side hustle. They get my full attention, every time. Retirement means I’m home and present — always. My favorite pastime is watching TV with my dog, so your pet isn’t just watched, they’re genuinely kept company. No rushing, no clock-watching. Just real time and real love. Whether I’m welcoming your pet into my home or stepping into yours, the standard of care never changes. At My Home: I have a clean, pet-friendly environment with two dogs of my own to keep yours company. My home is secure — I understand escape artists and take every precaution. Your pet gets couch time, TV time, treat games, and a warm place to rest. They are family here, not a guest.
