Debbie has worked with us for about 2 years and has been great with our dog! Our dog started out as a very shy puppy that was scared to be walked down the street and with Debbie’s patients and kindness he now loves to explore on his walks. Debbie is the best dog walker you can find

Amazing job walking my dog! My dog is shy, but she took her time to make sure he was comfortable with her before going on a walk. Super grateful for the help!

Justin did a great job walking Stu while we were out of town and Stu was staying at our cousins house. The communication was outstanding and we couldn’t ask for a more professional, kind person. Thanks very much Justin! We appreciate you!

About: I’ve had pets (dogs of all sizes and cats) my whole life and currently have two corgis. If there’s a dog or cat in a room, that’s where you’ll find me. I follow your instructions to a T because I believe the way you need pet care doesn’t stop when you leave for a trip. Also available for emergency drop ins and help, because you never know when life get crazy. Having pets myself, pet care it’s my routine! I focus my day around making sure pet’s needs are met, as well as try to go above and beyond to make them as happy as they make us. I follow your instructions to a T - if you need/want your pets cared for in a certain way, I’ll make sure that it’s done just as you need!

About: Hiii I am stay at home dog mom. I have base access. I wanted to venture out and take care of other dogs. I have taken care of both of my dogs since they were 6 weeks old. I have had to administer their own medication especially the very high energy lab. I have taken care of my workers and neighbors dogs before and thought why not venture out to other dogs owners who need help with their super pups :) I have a very flexible schedule. I am available pretty much all the time. I have a reading hobby but that would never hinder my schedule! My dogs are walked every day. They are pretty independent and are not high maintenance. I live in an apartment so they get walks outside and play time in the dog park near the apartment

About: We have three dogs who are more spoiled than our children. We dont like people, but we love animals 🤣. We love walking and playing, and so do our pups! Our babies are spoiled rotten and we can't help it. Our pups have their own doggie pool that they can use any time in the summer. We have tons of toys and one of our favorite things to do is just be home with them and de stress. We sometimes go to the dog park or take walks on the Black River Trail, too! We care for our own fur babies every day, having extra in the house is just an added bonus. Our animals are loved all day long, and we promise to deliver the same to yours. We have a large fully fenced in yard in a rural area, so we have lots of room for running! Our pups go in and out as often as they want. We do allow pets on the furniture, always! ***FOR FULL TRANSPARENCY *** We do require all dogs who are boarding in our home to eat and sleep in a crate, as well as be in their crate if we need to leave the house for any reason. This is strictly for safety reasons to keep all dogs and our children safe. We understand that not everyone is a fan of crating their dog, and we would never do so without consent. This is non negotiable. If you feel strongly your dog does not require needed a crate please reach out to me and we can talk as I do make very rare exceptions. If your pup shows behavioral issues that make it difficult to maintain safety, such as biting or excessive aggressiveness, we will add on an extra charge to the booking. This is almost never an issue, and we are able to separate dogs as needed. When staying in our home, your pups safety is always our number one priority.

No matter how big or small, I can’t wait to meet them! I’m currently in school and looking for a side hustle to keep busy throughout the day as I finish my last online classes! I’m free all week! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have experience working with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I always make sure they receive attentive, loving care. I will follow your pet’s routine, respect any special instructions, and ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while they’re in my care.

About: I have experience with dogs my entire life from daily care routine to caring for senior dogs. Your member of the family would be treated very well and we are able to care for dogs that require special attention. Your dog would not go more than 2-4 hours without someone supervising them. I would make sure your animal is safe. The world class care your fur baby would get would be unmatched. My doggies are literally spoiled but well behaved. They are sweet so there will be plenty of attention and exercise for your loved one. ❤️❤️❤️

About: I’ve grown up with animals in my life since I was born and my mom worked at a Vet Clinic for 13 years so I’ve seen my fair share of all sorts of breeds! From little Pugs to giant Cane Corsos! I’m up for anything and happy to help in anyway I can! I am usually free throughout the week especially with a heads up I should have no problems being able to help you out with whatever needs to be done! And I’ll be happy doing it! I have a dog named Motley who is 4 years old! She’s a mutt but we love her so much and she gets along well with other animals. Sometimes she’s a bit excited with new people/ animals but she is crate trained and potty trained so shouldn’t be a problem!

About: Hi, nice to meet you! Please call me Eliza. Firstly, thank you for considering me to take care of your fur-babies while you're away. Here's a little bit about me and my history with pet care. When I was little, I always knew I wanted to work with animals in some capacity. My journey with pet care began when I was 12 years old. One of my neighbors had a black lab puppy that they never let inside & never had company. One day, I walked up to their door, knocked & asked them to hire me to walk their dog everyday. I never looked back. Since then, friends, family, neighbors & strangers alike have entrusted me with all of their pet's needs. When considering booking with me, please keep in mind that I also work 35 hours a week, giving me plenty of time to pay attention to your pets. I do not have breed restrictions & am happy to work with any special needs or requirements your pet may have. FOR ALL NEW CLIENTS, I do require a meet & greet before booking to ensure that everyone (including your pet) is comfortable and to be able to ask/answer any questions we may have for each other. I've found this helps to ensure trust between all of us. Please be upfront with any triggers or quirks so I know exactly how to take care of your pet. *The meet & greet is a FREE service to ensure we're all a good fit for each other before the stay. For the time being, I do not offer boarding in my home. During my stay with your pets, I provide the utmost care & attention to your pet & their needs. My main priorities are making sure your pet is as safe & as comfortable as possible in an already anxious situation with their parents being away. Thank you so much for considering me to take care of your fur-babies while you're away.

Julia went above and beyond taking care of Skipper. We are completely satisifed with the drop in visits and walks through the week. Julia provided excellent updates and prompt communication. We would absolutely contract her services again and we recommend using Julia!

Jackie was super sweet and patient with Bailey. I know Bailey can be hard to handle but she was the best. She also would go over the regular 30mins walk and play with him. Definitely recommend.

Elise has all the qualities you could hope for in a dog walker: easy to work with, punctual, trustworthy, consistent and has a genuine love for animals. My dogs get super excited when they see her (more excited than when they see me at this point! 😂) Could not be happier and highly recommend!
