I can adjust walk lengths and intensity to better suit each pet.

About: I’ve taken in two dogs from the shelter and trained both of them myself. I focus on giving each dog personalized care based on their personality and needs. I’m good with puppies and older dogs, since I have both. If a dog likes a slower pace, I’ll pay extra attention to that and slow down for them. I am currently home every day throughout the week, so I am able to fit your pets into whatever schedule you may need. I can come by and let dogs out multiple times a day or just stop by for a walk. I’m also able to watch your pup for days at a time if needed. I have a fenced-in yard and two dogs that get along very well with dogs of any size. They are both male, under 55 pounds, and neutered. I’m also able to crate your dog if needed, and I have a decently large crate available.
About: I’ve loved pets my whole life. Caring & enriching their lives is my passion. Each unique personality deserves to thrive. I do my best to establish a relationship with your pet to promote their security. I am retired but enjoy staying busy but also relax by being with animals. I have very accepting pets that will calmly welcome your pet to my home. My pets will also accommodate my stay in your home if that is best for your pet. My 2 cats & 2 dogs can stay alone overnight if you need me in your home. I understand pets feeling most secure in their known environment. My fenced yard with pet doors allows pets to come & go at will. In your home, I will follow your normal daily schedule & rules helping your dog to feel right at home in your absence.
“Some folks are intimidated by pit bulls, but Summer was great with our 10 year old pit mix, so it was a big relief to know we could relax during the holiday and know Scout would be in good hands with Summer. She sent us photos of the dog at every visit. We would definitely have her back.”

About: I love being outdoors with my pup and I’m happy to go on more walks outdoors with other fur babies! I will be leaving my baby at home if other dogs are not friendly. My names Katie, I’m an ER nurse and only work 3 days a week. My contract doesn’t begin until 10/14 so for now, I can do all the pet sitting. My schedule is completely wide open. Once my contract starts, I’ll be able to work with people and their schedules. I’m flexible and can walk the dog around the neighborhood. Or if the client gains trust later on, I’m happy to bring them to the dog park or on trails being that I love to be outdoors.

I have a large yard and live in a residential area where it is easy to go for walks around the neighborhood.

About: I don't remember a time in my life when pets weren't a part of it. As pet owner myself I value knowing my pet is safe and cared for when I can't be there. I find it rewarding to give others that same peace of mind in knowing their pet is safe and cared for with me when they can't be with them. I work during the day Monday-Thursday and am home Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I am also home every night. My dog Jasper is a 4.5-year-old lab who loves having company to play with but is also very chill and relaxed when at home. He is very good natured and gets along with others well. I live in an apartment and have access to a fenced in dog park located right outside my building. Many of the pets who stay here enjoy playing there and meeting new friends or just relaxing on my screened in balcony. There is also plenty of space for walking and a large field to run in if your dog prefers. I am currently working full time but am happy to commute from your home. Your pet would be cared for according to their routine in the morning and evening and I am free to return at lunchtime for walks, medication, etc. according to your pups needs. Evenings will be spent relaxing where snuggles are freely given. I am currently not able to provide boarding in my home. I provide dependable, in-home dog sitting so your pet can stay relaxed and happy in the place they know. I understand how important it is to maintain your dog’s routine, and I take pride in offering consistent care, attention, and affection while you’re away. Your peace of mind is important to me.
