About: I have always loved animals ever since I was small. My experience really started when I was able to live on my own and adopt my first pet, a female cat named Kitty, in 2001. I have flexible hours and am willing to help pretty much any time. I currently work part time for myself as an Ebay seller and I sell mostly 3D printed items. I have 3 teenage sons and a tween daughter who are also animal lovers. I have a fenced backyard if needed and I can also help at the client's home. I follow instructions well and can offer your pet safety and love on their terms.
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors. My home is pet-friendly with a fenced yard and ensures a safe, comfortable environment for your dog. I’m currently on college break and have plenty of time to care for your pup! I’m available with a 3 week notice anytime that works for you. I have a fenced yard for plenty of playtime, and I’ll make sure your pup gets regular walks for exercise. I’ll also clean up after them and ensure they feel comfortable and loved while in my care.
“Alison did a fantastic job with Addie, lots of updates with pictures! I felt very comfortable with her throughout our communication and can’t wait to use her services again! My dog needs a lot of exercise and sure got it today on her large orchard!”
“Mallory was perfect. She sent frequent updates and lovely pictures during her session, and totally went above and beyond caring for my dog. I couldn’t have asked for more from her! She was great and I’d highly recommend her to anyone!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life, have learned a lot extensively these past 4 1/2 years, a lot about their behavior, body language different personalities, etc. I’ve trained and worked with senior dogs and puppies as young as 14 weeks old! Pet care is a daily routine for me. Once I get up in the morning I let my dog out, feed both him and my cat, make sure they’ve both got plenty of water. I will either take my dog out on walks or exercise and train with him in the backyard. I do brush them (or try to) weekly as well. Depending on the type of yard the home has, I will either A. Let dog(s) out in fenced back yard Or B. Let dog(s) out on lead. If one is not friendly with another I can crate and rotate to prevent issues and ensure both dogs (or as many as there are) are all shown the right amount of attention and care! As far as cats go I like to take my time as I know not all of them are social, I tend to not push boundaries and let them do as they please while they have time to warm up to me. :)
About: I’ve had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember—most of them high-energy Beagles—so I know firsthand how much love, patience, and consistency pets need. What sets me apart is not just my experience, but my genuine connection with animals and understanding of their unique personalities and needs. I’ve cared for everything from playful puppies to senior dogs needing medication and a gentler routine. I’m confident with leash training, reinforcing basic commands, administering meds, and offering plenty of structured playtime and affection. Whether your pet needs a jogging buddy, a calm companion, or someone to stick to their routine like clockwork, I’m here to help them feel safe, loved, and right at home! My primary job is remote, which allows me the flexibility to work from anywhere. However, I do currently work part-time on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays. I am typically home by 1:00 PM. In addition, my weekends are completely open and available. I live in a peaceful, low-traffic area with over 20 acres of walking paths and wooded trails—perfect for outdoor exercise and exploration. I also have a wraparound porch with multiple leads for safe and relaxed outdoor time. I have two friendly, playful female dogs of my own, and I’m experienced in managing multi-dog environments. If needed, I’m fully capable of crating or separating pets to ensure everyone’s comfort and safety. I’m committed to providing attentive, personalized care and any support your friend may need to feel right at home!

I will make sure that your animal receives the care it deserves. I am a 54-year-old grandmother raising my grandchild. I'm a full-time painter and need exercise and stimulation outside of the house. Pet care fits perfectly into my life at the current time. I believe that each animal needs individual care and that no blanket care system is appropriate. Every animal is different and every animal has its own personality and set of needs. I am capable of giving medicine and changing dressings. I specialize in dogs with challenging behaviors such as dog aggression and excitability.

Body language is very good way of knowing how a pet is feeling. Rewarding good behavior is the easiest part of the job.

Nathan W.
“Nate has cared for my dogs on multiple occasions, and I can confidently say he is responsible, attentive, and genuinely compassionate. He consistently follows any special instructions I leave and ensures my dogs’ individual needs are met. One of my dogs is highly reactive to other dogs, and Nate handles him with exceptional patience and skill—avoiding known triggers and remaining calm and supportive even if my dog becomes reactive. Nate treats my pets like his own, showing a gentle and caring demeanor every time. I’ve trusted him to care for my dogs during weekends away and always return to happy, well-cared-for pups. I highly recommend Nate as a dog walker or sitter—you’ll be in good hands!”
