7. Valerie G.
About: Significant experience with dogs, having grown up with them as my dad bred boxers. At 9, I started walking dogs for neighbors at my parents' cabin for $5.00. I also worked at a kennel and boarding business for over a year. Now, I have a puppy named Remington and visits the dog park every evening, with reliable transportation to manage my dog-related activities. I walk dogs to help busy pet owners that struggle to find time for their furry friends. Its challenging balancing errands, chores, a full-time job, and finding alone time. So, I offer my services to give dogs the exercise and companionship they need, making both pets and their owners happy. By providing a safe and comfortable environment. Access to fresh water, nutritious food, and regular exercise. Establish a routine for walks, playtime, and training sessions to keep them engaged and happy. Monitor their health and behavior, providing attention and affection to make them feel secure. I would also administer any medications and maintain a clean living space to promote their well-being.
8. Emily F.
“Emily would be an excellent candidate for this job. She has always been an animal lover (especially dogs) and they always love her as well. She has a gentle heart and will take care of your pet as if it were her own. She is a very responsible young lady so I trust that your pet will be in great hands. She has always treated our pets with love and kindness and they adore her the most out of our family. Even better is that she loves going on walks so if you have a dog, they will definitely get their exercise in! So, as her mom, I don’t think there would be a better job than this for her!”
9. Reed A.
“Reliable and has good rapport with my dog who is a large intimidating German Shepherd. Has been a real lifesaver given that my wife has had to out of town while I continue to work. Many thanks to Reed!”
10. Traci M.
“Traci is fantastic- very professional, thorough and loves animals- highly recommend!”
11. ruoyang w.
“She is fantastic with cats! For example, when taking care of my cat, she made sure my cat had her favorite toys, stuck to her feeding schedule, and even spent time playing with her to keep her happy. If you want someone who truly loves and cares for cats, she is the one to trust.”
12. Sarah K.
About: I have been around animals my whole life. I have 2 dogs of my own and love being around animals of all types. I would love to get a chance to walk and snuggle your doggies! I work part time as a pharmacist and love animals so walking dogs helps me get out and moving while snuggling and playing with your happy dogs! I have 2 seven year old dogs of my own and have grown up around big dogs and little dogs my whole life. I grew up in upstate NY with 20 acres and we had many dogs at all times
13. Lyndsy U.

14. Kea G.

15. Lauren M.
“Thank you so much for the last minute walk!”
16. Ava L.
About: I've cared for dogs since I was 10 for family. My family have relied on me to walk, feed, and let our dogs out as they work and over vacation. Between my moms and dad's house, I have five dogs who are from small to large! I am currently at home for the summer, only working two days a week, so I have all the time in the world to hang with your pets! Once I go back to school I will be able to check on your pets in the mornings before class, and hang out with your pets in the afternoons! I am unable to board your pets, as I will be living in a dorm, but I will happily house sit or check on your pets. I would love to meet you and your pets a day or two before my service, so you and your pets can get to know me before!
17. Hannah K.
“Hannah is wonderful with our little Lulu. Highly recommend!”
18. Heather H.
“I've known Heather for many years. I can't say enough great things about her. She's always been an animal lover and has helped with my dogs over the years, I've trusted her with my fur babies for 15+ years and will continue to do so. Not only is she an animal lover but is a great person and comes from a great family. I have no reservations about recommending Heather to anyone.”
19. Elyse C.
“Elyse was wonderful! So attentive and caring for our pup. You can tell she really knows and loves dogs. We will definitely be using her again for walks and sitting!”
