“It was too wet/rainy outside to walk Gidget, but I kept the appointment time anyway. I wanted to start once a week walks for Gidget to get used to seeing Katie around before house sitting for us. Hubby said that she took the time to get to know her and vice versa. Very pleased with Katie.”

“Derek was great with Jasper. He was able to assist us with walking him on short notice, and was very responsive and communicative. I would recommend Derek to anyone who needs their pup walked!”

Calvin K.

“Bekka was wonderful with my dog Spencer! She took him for a nice walk and then threw some toys around for him as well. He loved his time with Bekka! Will definitely be rebooking!”

While you are away I will ensure that your pets daily feeding, walking & companionship needs are met. WE will have such a great time together!

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats for friends, neighbors and family members since I was 10. I have potty trained and taught basic commands to my dogs, fed and cared for cats, guinea pigs and ball pythons. Pets are part of the family and should get high quality care regardless of their owners scheduling requirements. I'm working part time over the summer and looking to have pets to care for in my spare time. My availability is pretty open with the exception of 9am to 12pm Monday through Thursday in July. I would love to play with your pets, bring them for walks, provide food, water, love and attention. I genuinely care for all animals and would love to get to spend time with your pet.

About: My family has always had pets. In my adulthood, I have owned and trained a yellow lab and chocolate lab and currently have a black lab named Kingston. He is my best friend and his amazing. We also have a tabby cat named Biggie Smalls. He is very sweet. I am looking forward to the opportunity to spending time with your amazing pet friends and caring for them as if they’re my own. I am a 20 year teacher with the summers off and I’m available six days a week. I spend my summer months catching up on yardwork and vacationing with my family and can be available to assist in times of need for your pets. I can be available to care for your pets both at your home and take them for walks when needed. I am flexible with requests.

About: Hi, I’m Maddie! I’m a lifelong dog lover and dedicated dog trainer with years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. From cuddly couch potatoes to high-energy working breeds, I’ve built a strong understanding of canine behavior—and I absolutely love what I do. I offer dog boarding, doggy daycare, drop-in visits, and dog walks, with flexible availability to fit your schedule. Whether your pup needs a fun-filled day of play or a cozy place to stay while you’re away, I’ve got you covered. My walks may be priced a bit higher, but they come with added value: if you’d like, I’ll incorporate leash manners and basic obedience training into the walk at no extra cost. It’s a great way to keep your dog mentally and physically engaged while reinforcing positive behavior. My doggy daycare service is perfect for busy pet parents who want their dogs to enjoy a full day of enrichment and social time in a safe environment. I offer transportation for daycare (and overnight boarding) within a reasonable distance in my dedicated van, which is equipped with secure crates for safe and comfortable travel. Your dog will have access to a full acre of securely fenced yard to run, play, and explore—plus a dog-friendly pool to cool off in during hot days! To ensure a safe and structured environment, all dogs will be crate rotated throughout the day. Crate rotation provides dogs with the rest and structure they need while preventing overstimulation and helping maintain a peaceful group dynamic. Safety is always my number one priority! I’ve previously worked in an animal hospital, so I’m also experienced in administering medications and providing attentive care for dogs with special health needs. Whether it’s pills, or a customized care routine, I make sure your dog is comfortable and well cared for. Right now, I’m in the exciting process of growing my dog boarding and training business full-time. I’ve completely finished and transformed my basement into a dedicated board-and-train facility to provide a safe, clean, and enriching environment for every dog that stays with me. I’m currently working on obtaining all the proper licensing to operate at the highest professional standard. For now we’re going through Rover! For everyone’s safety, all dogs staying overnight will be crated during sleeping hours and when unsupervised. This helps ensure the well-being of your pup as well as the safety of other dogs in my care. Each crate setup is comfortable and designed to help your dog feel secure and relaxed. I bring energy and enthusiasm to every interaction—whether I’m caring for a laid-back senior dog or working with a high-drive sport dog. I also compete in dog sports with my own dogs, so I’m extremely comfortable handling all energy levels. While I’m not yet a certified dog trainer, I’m actively working toward professional dog training credentials to continue growing my knowledge and giving each dog the best care possible. I use only positive, reward-based training methods that help dogs feel safe, confident, and loved. If you’re looking for someone who brings both experience and heart to every visit, walk, or overnight stay, I’d love to meet you and your pup. I truly can’t wait to meet my new clients—both human and canine—and welcome every dog into my care as if they were my own. Your pup will be treated like family every step of the way!! Positive Puppy Training Sessions 🐾 I offer private, positive-based puppy training sessions designed to help your pup build confidence, learn good manners, and strengthen their bond with you. • Single Session: $90 • Training Bundle: $80/session (4 sessions total – 1 session a week for a month) The bundle covers all the puppy basics: ✅ Recall (coming when called) ✅ Sit, Stay, and Down ✅ Leash Manners ✅ Handling Puppy Biting Every session is fun, personalized, and focused on setting you and your puppy up for long-term success. ✨ Free consultations available! I’m happy to chat with you beforehand to see how I can best support you and your pup. Taking care of pets is what I do every day—it’s the heart of my business. I offer full-time boarding, daycare, and training from my home, which is set up just for dogs. Every day is planned around keeping dogs safe, happy, and engaged, making sure each one gets the attention and care they deserve. At my home, dogs enjoy a safe, structured environment with crate rotation, a fenced acre to run, and a pool to cool off. I treat every dog like my own, keeping things fun but safe. For drop-ins and walks, I follow any care instructions closely and can include basic training or medication if needed. Your dog’s safety and happiness always come first!

About: When I was 8 years old, I walked around my neighborhood slipping flyers for my pet-sitting business into every mailbox I could find. Fifteen years later, that same drive—and love for animals—still fuels me. I’ve cared for everything from puppies and kitties to senior cats and dogs, and I always bring patience, attention, and genuine affection to every pet I meet! I have two cats of my own and am awoken each morning by a chatty or snuggly friend. I feed them twice a day and let them roam in the afternoon outside. When they come in for the night they come up to bed with me and I can’t think of a better way to end my day! I understand that a lot of animals can be timid or shy, so I always let them approach me before petting or touching them. If I’m walking a dog then I will make sure that I have everything I need and that they need (poop bags, water, treats if it’s a hike) before we embark on our journey. If I’m in a home with a cat that is shy but friendly I will usually lower myself to the ground and let them smell me and decide how they feel about me. I like to listen to music with my animals and we play with toys and outside often.

About: I have had a love for animal my whole life. I have had the opportunity to take of my friend's dogs. I would pet sit for my mother's dogs for years and gained lots of experience. I currently own a 2 year old, spade, Golden Doodle named Yumi with my girlfriend. I'm in-between jobs at the moment, so I will have plenty of time to care and play with your pups. My schedule is completely open. I usually walk my dog every 3-4 hours. There is plenty of yard space for play outside. Usually feeding is 2 times a day unless otherwise specified by the owner

“I was particularly apprehensive about choosing a dog walker for my rescue dog. Molly is high anxiety, a result of her abusive history. I’d used the same dog-walker for three years, since first adopting Molly. She was a college student whose class schedule ultimately clashed with her dog-walking schedule, leaving me to find someone new. I interviewed several candidates, ultimately choosing Kala because she clearly showed an understanding of how best to interact with anxious rescue animals. Molly took to her quickly, so I’d say that Molly chose Kala! Kala has been great! She’s kind, patient, and understanding with Molly’s quirks. Molly seems to really love her, which obviously makes it easier for me when I have to be away from her. I would highly recommend Kala, particularly for those with very sensitive animals. I can’t say enough good things about her.”

About: Like many people, I've grown up being surrounded by pets and animals. So, what other path to take than to learn how to properly care for them? Every pet and animal deserves a special amount of attention and care based on their needs. Sometimes life becomes too busy with work or personal trips. Rather than judge you, I'm here to help you. Who says life has to stop being fun when you have responsibilities? There are ways to help yourself and I would love to be there to take one more thing off your mind. Not only am I understanding, knowledgeable, and caring, but I will ensure the absolute best for your pets as they are a part of your family. I work part-time to get myself through college, but with that, I have plenty of free time where I can look after your animals. I work online, so if you need me there for a few hours if your pet has anxiety (or just peace of mind), I can be there for a few hours. If you need me there in the early morning or late evening, I can make that happen. Besides my flexible schedule, I can primarily fit pet care into the evenings and early mornings. While Tuesdays and Thursdays are a little slim for me, I can help make it work for your pets for the right price. While I would love to care for your pets in my own home or yours, I have a lovely elderly dog who can not handle the stress of other dogs being around. However, I would be more than happy to commute to your home and look after your dog(s). All I require are the basic necessities to be provided for your dog, such as food and water supplies. If you would like me to walk your dog, then I would also require you to provide a leash and/or harness.

“I’m very happy with the job Katelyn is doing and would definitely recommend her to anyone else. Katelyn has been sending me cute pictures from each walk and has an eye for the camera. She seems to genuinely care about the welfare of my puppy.”

“Thank you so much for walking Zoey faithfully everyday and sending all the photos - and especially for responding to and accepting my request so quickly when my previously booked dog walker had to cancel at the last minute. Zoey will miss you and probably be looking for you for several days ;-)”

About: Hello! I'm Jenny. I've been around animals my whole life from growing up on a farm and owning my own horses to raising puppies and kittens. In 2013, I took and passed a vet-tech certification program through a local accredited college. Although some details may be out of dated the general practices remain the same. I will always respect your wishes as I know you care about your babies as much I care about mine. I also have experience with chickens, fish (tank & pond), horses, reptiles, small animals, and birds. I'm also a huge fan of gardening and plants. I work from home with a flexible schedule. I'm normal able to leave the house by 630/7 am and do a 'last out' (as we call it) at 930pm. And it's always nice to take a mid-day break for a walk. My animals have fairly loose rules but that's because we spent years training. How I care for your animals will be dependent on your requests. However, I would feel more comfortable walking your dog on a leash if you don't have a fenced in yard, and one at time. I'm always ready for snuggles and playtime!

About: I've had pet dogs since I was 11 years old. I am now 31. I love dogs and cats! I miss living with pets, so I feel this is a good alternative. I'm currently on summer vacation from graduate school so I can be avaliable at any time. I can also do late nights if necessary. I would just like a heads up! I currently live in an apartment complex, but it does have very spacious yard. The parking lot leads into a nature trail walk. Its a nice nature trail on sunny days. There is also a grass area specifically for dogs.

About: Hi there! I have two wonderful golden retrievers at home who me and my family have had since 2021. With two goldens, I am very familiar with energetic dogs who love to play all day long. I also often care for two other golden retrievers in my neighborhood, one of which is recovering from an Acl surgery this summer. I am able to care for very energetic dogs as well as those who need a little more focused care such as senior or injured pups. I am college student on summer break with a very flexible schedule to fit the needs of your pet family. Currently I dog sit two dogs during the week and occasionally on weekends with various hours. This schedule is very flexible and I am happy to adjust my schedule to the needs of your family. To ensure both the safety of your pets and your home I will take special measures to follow your instructions as the pet owner. You know your pet and your home best and I will work to ease your mind and keep your pet safe!

“Holly was reliable and took excellent care of our dogs. We have an elderly dog that can be difficult at times, but she was patient and made every effort to get him up for his walk.”
