“Joann did a great job taking our dog on a walk and staying in touch with us. We felt comfortable with her in our home. We will definitely connect with her again.”

“I can't recommend Grace highly enough as a dog caregiver. Her love for dogs is unmatched, and she has an incredible understanding of their needs. She did an amazing job taking care of my rambunctious puppy, who can be a handful. Not only did she handle him with patience and care, but she also helped train him and even taught him a fun trick! If you're looking for someone who will treat your dog like their own, Grace is a great choice and will also respect your home. Great communication and easy to work with, too.”

My dogs will miss their daily time with him! Thank you, Doug!”

About: I've had dogs for almost half my life. I love caring and looking after animals. I know it can be hard for pet owners so I'd love to provide my services and help those in my city and neighborhood. Right now, I'm only doing online classes. My schedule is open for any availability. I can work weekdays and weekends as needed. My schedule is very flexible. I like to make sure my pets or pets in general are well hydrated and well fed. I like to make them feel as comfortable as possible. In my home, if away we make sure to have our cameras on them to avoid any dangerous/severe situations.

20. Lupita G.
About: I grew up with dogs and throughout those years I have cultivated a deep understanding of animal behavior and needs. Whether it’s feeding or providing companionship, I approach each furry friend with patience and care. My special skills include recognizing subtle signs of distress or illness and creating a safe & stimulating environment. I’m currently a nursing student with flexible hours and dedicated study breaks. During breaks between classes or study sessions, I relish the opportunity to engage in enriching activities with my pets, whether it's a leisurely walk in the park or a stimulating play session at home. This structured approach ensures that my pets receive the attention and care they deserve while also allowing me to balance my academic commitments effectively. In both my own home and my clients' residences, I prioritize creating a safe and comfortable environment for pets, despite currently not having a yard or pets of my own. Utilizing my experience with crate training and use, I ensure that pets have designated spaces where they feel secure and relaxed. Whether it's setting up cozy beds or providing ample toys for enrichment, I tailor each setup to suit the specific needs of the pets in my care. Additionally, I maintain open communication with pet owners to understand their preferences and any special requirements, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable experience for both pets and their owners.
