Dog Walking Alcove

About: Hello, my name is Karaleen, Kara is fine. I’m 33, Navy veteran and just working on my degrees. This gives me quite a bit of down time. So I would love to help out with your pets! I have had pets all of my life, my family actually bred Corgis at one point, and have two girls of my own. so I would love to be able to give some head scratches and belly rubs to your furry members of your family whenever you may need it. Whether it be a walk, or some play time, or just keeping them company at the house. I have reliable transportation so no worries there. Hopefully I can help you out with whatever your pet needs are. Thank you! Hope to hear from you soon. -Kara I am a full time student so I have a lot of time on my hands with a flexible schedule. Open to different times throughout the days and weeks I take bookings for either walks or in home visits with some play time. I have enough time to give them anywhere from something quick to longer visits

“Mia has walked our dog Lua for a few weeks now and we couldn’t be happier with the process and how Lua can’t wait for her to show up and take her out”

About: We've had a dog in our home for most of my life. And so has many of our family and friends. So holidays and get togethers are always fun with all the fur babies running around. I had a 100 pound German Shepard so big dogs are no problem. He's made us very familiar with the vet office. From regular allergy meds to cut open paw pads that need daily cleaning and treatment, he's given us years of pet experience. I've owned dogs who live for long walks and dogs who prefer playing fetch in the yard instead. The cuddly ones to the stand off ish ones. Senior dogs who need assistance walking and extra health care too. I love all dogs and will pet any one I see... with permission of course! Love me some cats too! Currently have 3 cats, so the litter box is a familiar place for me. I'm also a master at cat play time! I work from home full time so I'm always able to give my pet or yours the attention they need when they need it. I'm available for afternoon drop ins to full days of sitting. I understand the peace of mind knowing someone is taking good care of my pet when I can't be home for them. I want to offer as little disruption to your pets routine as possible. Whatever your guidelines are for your pets needs I will strive to meet and exceed them so your pet stays happy and healthy!

About: Hi, I’m Ocean! I’m an experienced Veterinary Technician with over 15 years of hands on experience caring for dogs, cats, and other animals. Working in veterinary medicine has given me the knowledge and confidence to care for pets of all ages, personalities, and medical needs. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, a senior who needs extra patience, or requires medications or special care, you can feel confident knowing they’re in experienced hands. My top priorities are always your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness. I understand that every pet is unique, so I take the time to learn their routine, provide plenty of love and attention, and keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re my own because I know they’re family. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine because I already work full-time as a veterinary technician. I’m used to structuring my days around animal care, including feeding schedules, medication times, monitoring behavior, and making sure each pet gets the attention they need. On a typical day, I’m already in a rhythm of caring for multiple animals, so adding pet sitting or drop-ins fits in smoothly before or after work, as well as on my days off. I’m very organized and plan ahead to make sure each pet in my care gets consistent, reliable attention without feeling rushed. I’m a calm, reliable, and detail oriented person who understands that every pet has their own personality and needs. Whether your pet needs extra patience, a specific routine, medication, or just some loving attention while you’re away, I’m happy to help. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets, and my goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your pet feels right at home.

“Amanda has been wonderful for our English Mastiff, Memphis. She takes great care of him, sends update photos, and is very flexible with her schedule. Highly recommend her! :)”

About: I grew up around countless different species of dogs, whether it be the ones I had growing up or other peoples. Every shape, size, and breed i’ve ever encountered I fell in love with instantly. Taking care of dogs is something that comes so naturally to me being that they have been apart of my life for so long. I can’t wait to meet yours! I am currently working, but it’s always either all morning or all night, leaving me with a whole half of the day for me to take care of any dog in need! My schedule is posted weekly and I will be able to notify you of my availability for the following week every Thursday. I am very open to taking any preferences or suggestions for anyone interested in my assistance, and I will go out of my way to care for your pet as best you see fit!

“Jordyn has been walking Murphy for a few weeks now, and she has been amazing! Murphy is happy when I get home and I get reports of each walk! I love that she is very communicative and updates me timely as things comes up.”

“Kelli has been an absolute Godsend to me and my pups life! Her communication is 10/10! As an owner of an older pup, my dog has been through some changes with her body. Kelli has been more than a helping hand when it comes to helping her stand up, making sure she goes potty safely, giving medication or cleaning a wound! She is extremely friendly, easy to reach out to and I know my pup absolutely loves spending time with her. I am so lucky to have found someone who truly cares about my pups wellbeing and is flexible!! Thank you for everything you have done for us, we appreciate you!”

Includes senior and disabled animals. - Trained in fear-free practices, animal behavior, and reading body language.

This includes feeding times, medication routines, playtime, and any other care instructions you provide. I am available after 10 AM on all days except Tuesdays. I prioritize providing consistent, reliable visits and building trust with every animal I care for so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I believe pets feel safest when they have a predictable routine. When caring for pets in their home, I prioritize maintaining their normal schedule, respecting their space, and following their owner’s instructions. I take a fear-free approach by allowing pets to interact at their own pace and never force attention or handling. I pay close attention to body language and individual needs so I can provide personalized care that helps each pet feel safe. My goal is to create a calm, safe environment where your pet feels comfortable, respected, and cared for while you’re away.

I enjoy spending time outdoors, so walks, playtime, and check-ins are easy to incorporate into my day. I do my best to keep pets on their normal routine so they feel comfortable and stress-free, especially when around someone new.

I treat every pet as an individual and adjust my care to fit their personality and needs. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for.

“Angelina was great with our two Aussies! Angelina arrived on time and the girls were very happy to see her. She took time with our girls, playing, brushing, walking and just giving extra loving while we were away. If your looking for someone who is structured and still very loving, you found her!!”

About: I have taken care of dogs, cats and even exotics ever since I was a child. My major in college was Biology and my first job out of college was a Zoo Keeper. I then became a dolphin trainer working and training several types of dolphins, river otters and pelicans. The past two years I have been a Vet Technician working at a large animal hospital. Animals are my passion in life so any chance I get to be around them, I will! I am currently a full time student again and also working four days a week. Any free time I get I enjoy getting outside or relaxing. I am mainly free on week nights and some days depending on class schedule. I will not be watching pets in my own home due to having a cat myself that gets stressed around other animals in his own space. I will watch other's pets at their home and follow their instructions as given.

“I’m SO incredibly thankful I found Jennifer! She takes such good care of my boy when I’m at work. She even treats him to “spa days” by brushing him with a brush she bought for him. She is sweet and patient which is needed with Stryker since he takes a few meetings to warm up to new people. She keeps me updated and lets me know/asks questions if Stryker is acting “off”. Don’t think, just book with her!”
