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.

“This was a very short notice scheduled walk. Abigail picked up my requested and helped me so much with Sam. Sam is second day in New environment and not really great with strangers. But Abigail did amazing with Sam. I was worried about pairing them, but it is a perfect fit... I can't thank her enough for stepping in to help me”

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: Growing up my family always had cats and dogs, so I’ve been around them my whole life. Pets bring so much love and fun into your life, they are a part of the family and they are so important. I will care for your pet like they are my own. I have a 6 year old poodle named Lola who I love with my whole heart. My qualifications- I’ve taken care of older cats for a neighbor, I’ve housesat for friends and family who have pets, and I volunteered at an animal shelter for over a year, where I would clean kennels, take dogs on walks, play with cats, and organize and paint the shelter. Thank you for considering me as your pet-sitter! ❤️ I have flexible hours, because I work as a door dasher, but pet-sitting/walking is my preferred job, so I can be available whenever I am needed. In my home, my dog Lola has access to food and water 24/7, and I take her outside every 4 hours or so during the day. She lets me know when she needs to go outside. In your home, I can provide any feeding/walking schedule that your pet is used to. I’m very easy-going and adaptable to anything.

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! 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: Since I was five, I have been around dogs and cats. At ten years old I was helping feed and walk the dogs as well as clean up the animals’ messes. Most of my pets have been medium or smaller size with a couple being bigger dogs. I have taken care of young pups and kittens, as well as my a senior dog. Currently, I have theatre rehearsals on Tuesday and Thursday nights. I return to my college campus in August, but I am mostly available from morning to afternoon on weekdays and Saturdays. I am more than happy to feed, walk, or play with your pets during that time! I am comfortable going to your house and taking care of your animals. I follow directions given virtually or written down in order to ensure the animals are cared for properly. If they are used to a specific schedule, I do my best to stick to it.

About: Hi! I’m Natalya, a dedicated pet caregiver who treats every dog like family. Whether I’m taking your pup out for a walk or keeping them company at home, my priority is always their safety, comfort, and happiness. I believe dogs thrive on routine, affection, and engaging activity, so I make sure each outing or visit is more than just a quick check-in. I spend real quality time with your dog—playing, offering mental stimulation, giving them plenty of praise, and making sure they feel relaxed and cared for. Every dog has their own personality and needs, and I love getting to know what makes each one special. While walking, I stay attentive to surroundings, maintain a steady pace suited to your dog, and ensure they’re well-hydrated and comfortable. During dog-sitting visits, I provide a calm, reliable presence—whether that means cuddles, playtime, or simply keeping them company in their favorite spot. You can expect frequent updates, adorable photos, and peace of mind knowing your dog is in responsible, loving hands. I take pride in being dependable, communicative, and genuinely passionate about caring for animals. I’d love the chance to meet you and your pup! Let’s make sure they get the care, attention, and fun they deserve. 🐾 I'm currently working toward my long-term career goals while doing something I genuinely enjoy—caring for animals. I've always been the person friends and family trust with their pets, and I'd love to earn that same trust with yours. Safety and trust are always my top priorities.

In my home, I keep a clean, pet-friendly space with safe areas for play, rest, and quiet time. I’m attentive to routines, feeding schedules, and any special instructions. I’m experienced with both energetic dogs and seniors, so I adjust the environment to match each pet’s needs. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow their pet’s established routines closely. I make sure doors and gates are secure, keep a close eye on pets during outdoor time, and give them plenty of companionship and reassurance. My goal is to maintain the same level of comfort and structure they’re used to so they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. No matter where I’m caring for your pet, I treat them with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own dogs.

About: I'm a professional and responsible caretaker of 25 years now, of dogs, cats, children, the elderly and residential family homes as well as commercial properties, and I love it more with each passing year! I am a personable and energetic companion, with an infinite amount of love for all animals. There's nothing that I'm unable to do and no job too big or too small. I own my home and would be thrilled to board any number of pets for any amount of time. I value this opportunity to be your best friend's home away from home and give them all of the love that you would give to them, because they deserve it and so do you! It such a rewarding and touching experience to enjoy the same animals loving me more and more over time, and eventually just being affectionate as can be! I love knowing that I can send you pictures(as often as you'd like) of your fur baby, giving you relief and knowing that not only is your dog safe and nurtured, but happy and loved! I've always said that I just want to cuddle with dogs all day and still pay my bills haha. Although I was mostly joking, how amazing is it that I can actually make that dream a reality!!😻 Maybe mans' best friend but your dog is also my best friend too...if you could please just help to introduce us to each other. Thank you for your consideration Best Kelly I have a fairly flexible part time work schedule, of 20-25 hours per week, that I'm unavailable. But Saturday and Tuesday I have wide open full availability, so I am ready and willing to meet your needs all day & night (including overnights/boarding), on any Tuesday or Sunday! I am also available in the mornings until 10am , and 3pm or after every day of the week! I'm available early morning and late afternoon, evening and nights, all 7 days of the week! The only time that I am unavailable is from 9:30am-3pm Monday, Wednesday, Thursday & Friday, and 8:30am-3pm on Saturdays. So I am available from 6am-9:30am and after 3pm on Mon, Wed-Fri, from 6am-8:30am and after 3pm on Saturday, and all day & night long on Tuesdays& Sundays. Available at or after 3pm and for the rest of the day & night, all 7 days of the week! Can do overnights/ boarding as well😁 Thank you 🤙 I treat every animal as if they were my own child! It's hard enough to be away from their parents at all, so I am just as positive, affectionate, loving and comforting as I can possibly be, so your pets feel comfortable and at peace. I communicate with the pet and/ or homeowner to find out exactly what they expect from me, and always write down all of the specifics of animal care(food & water and frequency, medicines, restrictions, if they go outside or stay inside, things they like or find comfort in like their favorite toy or treat to ensure that feel as much at home as I can make them feel) so I don't forget anything important! I usually reread the list everyday that I'm there, just to be sure not to miss anything. Lastly I always spend the last hour or day cleaning up after myself & the pet, to leave things nicer than I found them. Whether it's taking their trashcan to the road and gathering their mail, along with washing their dishes and making sure the bathroom and kitchen are nice & clean for them to come home to. Or it could be giving the dog a bath if I'm not house sitting as well. Basically if you're going to pay me to do something, I'm going to make it worth your while and be as helpful, clean and efficient as possible! Just a basic rundown in addition to feeding and walking and picking up after said animal, I like to go above and beyond what is expected of me. I reach for the best customer service I can possibly provide, to hopefully create a very happy dog and parents, as well as a repeat customer! If you hire me, you will not regret it! I am happy to care for your pet in my own home, or to travel to your home. Whatever is preferred and easiest for you 😊 Thank you for your consideration -Kelly

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 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.
