About: I’ve taken care of dogs for over 10 years. Experience with active dogs, elderly dogs and everything in between. Flexible schedule and last minute availability. I am available 24/7! I work freelance so my work schedule is remote and I schedule it myself. I have open availability on weekends as well. I have reliable transportation. I know all the best walking spots in town! I have a fenced in yard if needed. My vehicle can also fit large dogs.
About: After caring others pets to my own, I realize that no two furbabies are the same. Some require more patience and attention, while others need their freedom and a guiding hand. I am here to offer all of that! I have always been a dog and cat person. Growing up, I had a sweet little guinea pig since we didn't have the room for something bigger. However, he was never just a pet, he was a part of my family. I always think about him when caring for other people's pets. Over the years, I have cared for cats, walked dogs, and even housed a few pets for a short time (although, one of my relatives is rather allergic so I cannot offer that service anymore). I cannot wait to connect with more animals! I am currently a student at Oakland Community College pursuing a career in computer science. Most of my Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday's are crammed with classes in the afternoon. However, I have plenty of time in the mornings and evenings. The rest of the days are free. Regardless of what animal you share your home with their everyday messes are inevitable. I like to keep them in a happy and clean environment at all times. Their physical and mental health is always my priority.
“Kat is our new FAV! She is such a kind person and huge animal lover. She took care of our pup for us last minute, and sent lots of pictures and messages. She also arrived early and stayed a few minutes late to let our dog cool down and relax after their walk. She made sure to ask us all the questions and took detailed notes during the meet & greet. I couldn’t recommend her enough, so amazing!!”
About: Loving care for family dogs has been a daily fundamental for years — excited to provide a safe happy and playful environment to all our furry friends! I have loved caring for neighborhood dogs and cats for years. I’m finding myself with more time for walks now that my dog Sadie is spending more time around the house… eager to be an enriching and fun loving caretaker for furry friends! Yard is very spacious and fenced in. Close attention during play and daily exercise activities are paramount to me. While walking I prefer to be extra cautious, aware of surroundings without ear buds in, carrying water and reward snacks with us.
“Sassy and Sugar loved Alex and Zach. They were timely and great to work with. Really happy with the service, I booked because I was going out of town and my mom needed help with the walks.”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats my whole life and have experience with a variety of breeds and personalities. I was raised with Labs, Golden Retrievers, Doodles, and mixed breeds, and I currently have a pit mix of my own. Caring for animals has always come naturally to me, and I truly enjoy spending time with them. Whether I’m taking your dog for a walk, stopping by to check on your cat, or caring for your pet while you’re away, my goal is always the same: to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I’d want for my own. I am currently between full time jobs, however I coach football Monday - Friday in the mid afternoon. I am available before and after coaching to take your little ones on walks. I will update this in the future should my schedule change. My dog is allowed on any couch or bed, she doesn’t have many restrictions other than jumping on tables, she sleeps on our bed or the guest bed depending on her mood lol. When it comes to sitting at your house, I will make sure your pup stays on their routine and follows any house rules that are in place!
“Thank you for your help this week! Buster and Bette were in good hands and had lots of fun on their walks all week. Mikayla was energized and friendly and so easy to work with, I really appreciated it and the pups loved it.”
About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember and genuinely enjoy being a calm, caring presence in their day—whether that’s for a visit, a walk, or time spent in my home. I work from home, which means I have a flexible schedule and can give dogs plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship. I have a friendly 20 lb doodle named Teddy, who’s great at reading other dogs. He’s happy to play or just relax, depending on what your dog prefers. I also have Violet, my sweet 12-year-old doodle, who has fully embraced her “retired lady” era and mostly spends her days napping in cozy spots around the house. At home, there’s a large, fully fenced yard with shady spots and plenty of space for fetch, sniffing, or lounging. I provide treats (with your approval), playtime, and lots of love. You’ll get photo updates so you can see how your pup is doing and what adventures they’ve been on. I’m always easy to reach if you want to check in. Pet care fits naturally into my routine since I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and visits throughout the day, give pets consistent attention, and adjust timing based on their needs and your preferences. I make sure every pet has fresh water, a clean and comfortable space, and plenty of attention. After walks, I’ll dry off paws if it’s wet outside and check that they’re clean and settled. I follow your routine as closely as possible—feeding schedules, playtime, and any specific instructions—so your pet feels relaxed, happy, and at home whether they’re with me or in your space.
About: I recently lost my 13 year old lab who had mobility issues and needed extra help getting around. She also had an immune disorder that required multiple different daily medications. I have rugs throughout my home to ensure paws have good grip walking on the hardwood floors, a help-me up harness for a large dog and a fenced in yard with organic grass to chew on (I don’t use any pesticides). She passed away late last year and would love to continue to care for your dog like it was my own! I usually work from home and spend a lot of free time at home as well. If dogs are staying with me, I would walk them at least twice a day and let them out in the yard multiple times a day. I try to follow a similar schedule that you do with your dog as much as possible (food schedule, walk schedule, ect.). I have clean dog beds and I allow the dogs to sleep up on the couch if they are potty trained. There are no dogs living in my home but sometimes I get multiple requests to watch dogs. Please let me know if you prefer to have your dog(s) be the only dogs in the home during their stay. Also, it helps a ton if you fill out your dog’s full profile and indicate things like if they get along with other dogs or are reactive in certain situations and other things to look out for. Please fill out before a request if you can.
About: I've cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. From playful puppies to sweet senior dogs who need a little extra TLC. What sets me apart is my calm, patient approach and genuine love for animals. I focus on keeping your pet both happy and safe, whether that means a high-energy walk, a gentle stroll, or extra attention for special needs. I'm attentive to each dog’s unique routines, and I’m always looking out for their well-being. I have two dogs and a cat of my own, so I understand the attentiveness that goes into caring for a fur baby! I currently work night shifts four to five days a week, so my days are free and flexible, perfect for dog walking and daytime check-ins! I’m available for morning and afternoon walks, and I always make sure to give each pet my full attention and energy. My schedule allows me to build consistent routines with you and your pet! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Whether I’m walking your dog or caring for them in your home, I always follow your instructions closely and stick to your pet’s usual routine to help them feel secure.
