“Claudia was wonderful! It was the first time I used the service and was nervous to depend on someone I didn’t know to take care of my spoiled and very naughty golden retriever puppy (10 months).

18. Mary P.
About: I was a professional dog trainer and dog walker for approx. 15 years until 2020. I have since moved away from working in the pet care industry full-time - but still love providing excellent care and peace of mind for pet owners while they are away. As a former trainer, I am very experienced with dogs who have training and behavioral needs, though I love my happy-go-lucky friends too! I specialized in reactivity, aggression, and off-leash reliability, and am happy to consult on those matters as well. I am also trained in pet First Aid & CPR. I have owned Ibizan Hounds for ~15 years - I am experienced with sighthounds and primitive breeds that are prone to being aloof and independent. I currently work a non-pet care industry full time job, so pet sitting and boarding for dogs in my care looks a lot like it would with an owner working full-time outside of the home with no major change to routine. I care for dogs in my home and their own. At my home there is a large fenced-in yard and my own dogs to play with and keep company. I can offer cat sitting in their own home only.
19. Breanna T.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs a cats ever since I was about 12. Friends family have relied on me to walk feed and bathe. I have always loved dogs and cats since I was younger. I am currently unemployed and would have plenty of time to watch over your fur babies. I can take them for a walk stay a couple nights feed them whatever you need I’m here to help. I Always check fence gates before letting a dog outside. Always lock the doors before leaving. make sure there isn’t anything hazardous on the ground.
20. Kasey K.
“I’ve known Kasey for 4 years now and have seen her interact with several dogs. She has such a kind, gentle, and patient touch with them all. She is also very active and enjoys walking dogs so I think she would be a perfect fit”
