About: I enjoy volunteering at animal shelters when I have the free time, I grew up with dogs, and enjoy watching my friend's pets so I figured I would try this out for the summer! I am looking for a post grad job right now so I have a lot of free time. Your dog would be my number one priority. I keep a checklist on my phone of what and when to feed the dogs and try to get a least a mile in on walks.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities — including my own doodles. I offer reliable, loving pet care that includes daily walks, playtime, cuddles, and personalized attention. Whether your pup needs a quick stroll or overnight care, you can count on me to treat them like family. I am currently a stay at home mom of one 6 year old girl. So my schedule is very flexible and I am available to care for pets at any point as long as I have ample time to plan for it. I have a fenced in yard with three very friendly doodles that love to play. I have crates available if needed. I can also meet at the clients house and spend time with the pet there and/or walk them.
“Carrie took wonderful care with my babies. I appreciated her communication.”
“Olivia did such a nice job with my two dogs. They were smiling in the pictures that she sent. Everybody was quiet and contented when we got home.”
“Katharine did a great job dog sitting for us for the last two weeks while our regular sitter was on vacation. She communicated well, was reliable, and Parker loved the personal attention she gave her. We really appreciated her wonderful care for Parker, which was very comforting to know...would highly recommend her services! I think Parker would agree with all 4 paws:) Thanks Katharine!”
About: I have always grown up with dogs and just recently adopted my cat Douglas shortly after moving from home. Although he provides all the love I need, I do miss all my family dogs presence! I currently work full-time, but would love to make myself available for more interaction with pets! I am available for outdoor walks and pet check-ins! I do not offer anything in my home because I'm not too sure how my cat Douglas would respond ... and he runs the house.
“Morgan was extremely attentive to my 2 kittens, mature cat, and senior chihuahua. He reached out multiple times with questions, and took the time to get to know them in advance. I felt comfortable and at ease knowing he was coming by once a day to supplement the adolescent I also hired for pet care during my extended trip. Highly recommend!”
“Jenna has been checking in on my puppy several times a week for the past month and I’m so glad I found her! She has been very flexible with my schedule and always sends thoughtful updates even as the check ins have gotten routine.”
