About: I’ve raised dogs, cats & goats since I was old enough to hold a leash! From bottle feeding kittens to training goats to do tricks, dogs feel like a breeze. For the last 6 years, I’ve taken care of family & friend’s dogs. My husband & I have a 80lb golden doodle (who is transitioning into his elder stage of life) so I understand the importance of daily walks, play dates, and proper grooming. I vow to apply the same care for your pet! I’m currently a server, so I work less than 30 hours a week & mainly evenings! This leaves me plenty of time to pet-sit or walk during the day, especially on my days off. I have a fenced in back yard, a park within a 3 minute walking distance, and an incredibly friendly golden doodle. He loves to play fetch and tug. We take our dog on daily walks, weekly baths, and administer the proper vitamins and ear care as he transitions into being an elder dog. It’s important that I translate these same practices to clients animals!

About: I’ve grown up around pets my whole life and have had my own dog for the past 4 years. I’ve also helped care for neighbors’ dogs—everything from daily walks to overnight care. I’ve looked after pets for over two weeks at a time with no problem and always make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m a college student home for the summer with lots of free time to spend with your pets! I work part-time on weekends, but I’m mostly available throughout the week and very flexible with scheduling. I always follow any instructions closely, including feeding, walking routes, and routines. I make sure doors are secure, keep a close eye on pets during visits, and give them lots of attention and care so they feel safe and happy while you’re away.

About: I have had dogs all my life, most of which were rescued. I also took a class from victoria stillwell on her website designed to teach you how to understand your dog. I adore all dogs and love to learn their different personalities. I never back away from a challenging behavior because I know alot of dogs have experienced trauma just like alot of people. I work full and my schedule can change week to week but my boss try's to keep it consistent. I typically work 7-6 monday through Wednesday 8-4 on Friday's. Anytime this changes I will immediately contact you and work something else out if it conflicts with specific requested times (such as dog walking). I walk my husky each morning before work regardless of what time I go in so you can be sure I will MAKE the time if I have to. :) I will follow any and all rules/schedules you have for your dog. I will also assist with training if asked. If I am house sitting I will do my utmost to keep the house and its schedule the same as you do when you are home. I am happy to train, play, or just hang out with your doggy pal.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. I have experience with diabetic dogs. Dogs that need medicine. Special needs dogs. I love to play with them, walk them and I will treat them as my own. We raise horses so I have a lot of experience where you have to pay close attention so I would notice if something is off with you dog and I would address it immediately. I currently work 6 hours a day so you would not have to worry about your dog. I would walk, brush, and play with your dog. I would take care of your dog as my own at your home. I would make sure they are loved like my own. If they have special needs or need shots, medicine or anything extra you can feel safe with me.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and temperaments—no pup too big or small! I’ve also walked cats, administered meds, brushed teeth, and provided loving care for seniors. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, or just keeping your pet company, I’m experienced and happy to help. My fenced yard offers safe outdoor time, and I treat every animal like family. I currently have full availability and offer flexible, reliable care for your pets! I’m available for boarding, drop-ins, walks, daycare, and more—even same-day appointments. I do have little ones at home, so we may step out briefly for park outings, but never for long. Your pet will still get plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. My home is dog/cat - friendly, with a securely fenced yard, located on a quiet, low-traffic street. I clean with pet-safe products to ensure a healthy environment. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’ll treat your space with the same respect and care as I do my own. You can rest easy knowing your pet is in safe, loving hands.

“Corrine did a fantastic job with our dog. She met him a day before the scheduled walk to make sure our dog was comfortable with her (which he 100% was). She took him on a nice walk and sent pictures which we appreciated. We will definitely contact Corrine next time we need a walk for our dog.”

I have a 75lb mix 50% Boxer and 50% German Shepherd could be a challenge. I was very pleased with her knowledge and experience. I recommend her at the highest level for her services.”


About: I had dogs as I was growing up and have many friends with dogs or cats now. I have gone on walks and runs with dogs and given them baths. I am very flexible and can give walks throughout the day. I do not need too much notice before taking animals for walks just basic information about what they are like and what they need. I take care of pets with lots of respect and will always clean up after them no matter what situation they get into. I give them the attention they deserve and love they need.

About: i have pet sat for years and i decided to turn it into a career i enjoy spending time will all animals and really getting to know each one’s personality i try to be as flexible as possible so i can be relied on at all times. pet sitting is my primary and i put that first 100% of the time :) i make sure to spend all my time with them to develop a relationship between myself and the pet. i try to do extra fun things with them, like play tug of war with their favorite toy or if they like more cuddles i provide extra snuggles. i don’t mind commuting to another home where the animal is more comfortable. if they want a walk i will take them on a long walk to the dog park and play ball with them. whatever they need i will put first!

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of pets! I’m an animals lover! I have my own dog and 2 cats and I love them to death! I volunteer at the humane society and have fostered both cats and dogs as well! Whether it’s a drop in or staying the night with your furry friend I would love to be in consideration! I work part time and have online classes so I can easily accommodate to whatever schedule works for you! I am pretty easy going and flexible. Whether it’s cleaning up, feeding, walking, bathing, etc. I would be willing to do anything to keep your furry friend safe and well cared for!

About: I haven’t met a dog I didn’t LOVE! With every unique personality and quirks, dogs have always held a very special place in my heart as companions, hard workers, and adventure buddies. Patience and understanding are a virtue when I introduce myself to a new dog. I am a persistent, positive reinforcement driven owner who loves to have lots of fun! I would absolutely enjoy getting to know your dog and creating a special bond. I offer basic commands training, puppy training, and special needs help (one of my two dogs is blind and deaf), along with administering any medications needed. I own and operate a restaurant Wednesday afternoon through Sunday night, so my schedule is heavily leaning towards Monday and Tuesday all day availability. I am also available in the mornings every day until about 2pm. I’m a routine person, we go potty every morning around 8:30-9am, have breakfast, and go outside again for another potty. Depending on the weather, Koda and I usually go for our walk around 12pm, lasting about 30-45 minutes (unless we are hiking a nature trail). Upon return it’s time for another potty break, then a few times more every 3-4 hours until it’s time for bed. In between those breaks are lots of playing inside and outdoors with toys and training with treats or cooked meats. I have a degree in wildlife biology, and focus on bird watching. This makes me very apt to sudden changes in the environment around me. I am quick to respond, and think critically on a whim to act on which is the best and safest approach to handle a situation. In the event that is beyond my control I would contact the owner (and possibly a veterinarian) immediately and let them know that I would like to take their dog to receive professional attention. Your pet comes first and I always make sure that our walks and training sessions are positive, exciting, and safe. While I seem energetic, I also have a relaxed disposition that is quite necessary when meeting a dog for the first time. They want to know that you are a safe and comfortable human that won’t harm or agitate them. I get down on their level, offer a hand out to encourage them to interact with me first, and then reward with a treat or toy. This is usually effective with repetition, but I understand that every dog is different. Trust is earned and I am persistent!

About: My family has always had at least 1 dog in the household for my entire life. I have raised my own dogs from when they were 8 weeks old, and understand the commitment needed to make sure they are safe and taken of. I understand the needs of different breeds, and am willing to make sure those needs are taken care of. I have an Australian shepherd who walks 2-3 miles a day, so long walks are no problem! I am currently working part time substitute teaching, and coaching u14 hockey during the night time. My mornings and early afternoons are usually open during the weekdays, and I'd love to spend that time with dogs of all shapes and sizes! I try to take my 2 dogs on a walk everyday, usually lasting about 35-45 min, while giving them potty breaks and outside time as much as possible. When inside, I play with tug-of-war toys and give lots of pets and scratches to the doggies. I make sure to clear all objects/food from the edges of countertops, or anywhere that the dogs could get to it to make sure they don't eat something they shouldn't.

“Hayle was awesome and super responsive! Ryder had a great time. We will definitely reach out to her again.”


Ashley H.
“Ashley has a passion for animals. And that’s putting it mildly. She worked for me at a nature center for more than a year, where she took great care of our resident salamander, frog, snakes and turtles. She brought guppies from her home aquarium to have on her desk, and they each had a name! She developed a live butterfly exhibit, bringing in monarch caterpillars so that visitors could watch them transform into butterflies and help her release them into the wild. Taking care of cold-blooded animals, maintaining fish and turtle tanks, keeping hungry caterpillars in fresh food requires a lot of thoughtful effort, with no “cuddle factor” as a reward. But Ashley loved it all! Her reward was just being around them, and handling them, and watching them thrive in her care. I can’t recommend Ashley enough as a pet sitter. She has a true heart for animals!”
