Simone does so well with my active blue heeler Australian Cattle Dog! He does really well with her and he gets a full 30 minute walk in. She is always on time and is easy to work with!

Rebecca is the poop goddess. She gets both of my girls to poop during their mid day walk. She also tailors their individual attention to their needs

About: I’ve been dog sitting for around seven years now. I have experience with dog walking and extended drop-ins. I love to bond with each pet I care for! I can care for your pet during both the weekdays and weekends! I can do drop-ins or walks in the afternoons for now. I’m almost on summer break, so I’ll be available more after May :) I will respect your routine and utilize the resources that are made available to me when caring for your pet! I will always keep the house picked up before leaving.

About: I have three cats named Melee, Fresco and Libby. I’ve had gerbils, rabbits, fish, gecko, and a teacup poodle named Chip and a cat named Snowflake. I volunteered at Peggy Adams animal shelter and Humane Society. Currently I volunteer with owls nest sanctuary. I use to work at a vet office as a receptionist and Petco as a dog washer. Often I will petsit for friends and family. I work full time remote from home but have a very flexible work schedule and could spend the day at someone’s place while working or do a few visits daily if close by my home. I only able to do home visits as my kitties may not be happy if I brought a visitor over. I maybe able to do some overnights. Flexible during the week and most weekends.

About: My husband and I love animals, and although we don’t currently have a pet of our own we’ve been watching dogs for friends and family for as long as we can remember. I work from home, which allows me to give your dog plenty of care and attention throughout the day. We live in an apartment with one flight of indoor stairs. When we need to step out, we do have an indoor security camera that allows us to keep an eye on your pup and check in on them while we’re away. We provide a safe, loving, and pet-friendly home where your furry friend can feel comfortable and happy. I’m experienced caring for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to seniors who need extra comfort. Every visiting pet is treated like family, with love, care, and attention, giving you peace of mind while you’re away. I only host multiple dogs together when they come from the same household, so your pup(s) will never be boarded with unfamiliar dogs.

Regina is a very experienced dog walker/pet sitter. Her professionalism is apparent from her first visit. She is not someone who walks dogs to make a few bucks...this is a business she takes very seriously. My dog very much enjoys her daily visits and is very excited when Regina arrives. She makes us aware of any concerns she may have with my dogs heath or if there is any concerns at my house during the visit, which gives me peace of mind. I recommend Regina to anyone looking for a professional and reliable caregiver for their pet.

About: I’ve loved and taken care of all kinds of pets for as long as I can remember. Family and friends often relied on me to check in and board pets while they were away. I have experience with cats, dogs (high drive breeds like Belgian Tervuren), and even reptiles! I’m currently available full-time for pet care, so I’ll have plenty of time to look after and focus on every pet! I’m available for boards Friday- Monday, and pick-ups/drop-offs after 4:30 pm. I have a fenced in patio and one friendly dog to keep your pet company, or separate if needed! There are many local parks I love to spend time at and a pool for pets to enjoy! Kitties will have their own safe and separate room for their enjoyment! I have a designated area for reptiles to accommodate enclosures and equipment. Every animal in my care will have their own safe place and care guide put together to ensure each member of your family is taken care of with all the love, effort, and attention they would receive at home.

About: I’m a hardworking and caring person who absolutely loves animals, especially cats and dogs. I’ve had plenty of experience caring for pets and pet sitting in the past, and I truly enjoy spending time with them. Dogs bring so much joy into life, and I’d love to bring a little joy into theirs while you’re away. I enjoy running and taking long walks, so if your dog loves exercise, I’d be more than happy to join them. Every dog deserves love, no matter their age, and it would be my pleasure to care for them. Cats, with their calm and unique personalities, hold a special place in my heart too. I’ll make sure your cats feel loved, respected, and cared for while you’re away. Thank you for considering me to look after your furry family members! I currently on a teacher on summer break and have open availability! So take that mid week trip to Disney or to a water park! I will respect the space that I am in. This is your pets territory so I will ensure that it is well respected. Making sure they feel comfortable and safe is my number one priority.

About: I grew up with pets and have always loved caring for them. I enjoy giving each one attention, love, and care, treating every pet like they’re part of my family. I’m a responsible college student on break right now, so I have plenty of time each day to care for pets, play with them, and follow their routines. In my home, I have a friendly golden retriever who gets along with any dog and a cat who’s used to having other pets around. I have a big yard for play, though it is not fenced, so all outdoor time is supervised. We also live in a walkable, dog-friendly neighborhood, so pets get plenty of safe walks and outdoor adventures. I enjoy giving pets a part-time companion while making sure everyone has their own space and feels comfortable.

Michael was terrific in caring for our overactive 105-pound labrador, Buddy. He arrived timely and was extremely friendly & professional. Following one-hour walks with running, Buddy came home calm and well exercised. My wife and I are happy to highly recommend Michael for dog care.

Colton has been absolutely amazing with my two Frenchies, Vaan and Krypto! From day one, it was clear how much he genuinely cares about the dogs he works with. He’s reliable, communicative, and always goes the extra mile to make sure they’re happy, safe, and well-exercised. Vaan and Krypto absolutely adore him, and I have total peace of mind knowing they’re in such great hands. He’s attentive to their personalities and needs, and it really shows in how excited they get every time they see him. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and fantastic with dogs, I can’t recommend Colton enough. Truly a 5-star experience every time!

Daria has been great! She came over to meet with our dog (who has stranger danger) before their first walk so she was comfortable the first time. We get adorable photos while on their walk and to ensure she is home safely. My husband and I know we can count on Daria on some of our longer work days and we are so grateful she takes such good care of our fur baby ❤️
