About: I have been around animals my whole life. I believe its important to treat them well and with respect. I know how important it is for pets to be cared for while we're away Im available most mornings and evenings. I am currently available during the day as well. I take my own dog for walks every morning and evening as well. I can come and provide the animals food, fresh water and play with them if they are in the mood for that. In the case of dogs I'm happy to let them outside or go on a walk with them. I can play with them and make sure they are exercised.

“Thank you for taking such great care of Luna!”

About: I’ve got a big Doberman and a goofy American Staffy of my own, so I’m super comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’ve taken care of everything from little lap dogs to big, reactive pups—and I truly get them! I treat every dog like my own, with love, patience, all of the attention! Pet care fits into my routine easily since I have a flexible schedule. I’m available on short notice and can give your pup the attention and care they need throughout the day—whether it’s for walks, feedings, or just company. In my home, pets enjoy a calm, cozy space with lots of love and attention. I have a large yard, and while it’s not fenced, I always keep dogs safely leashed outside unless otherwise requested. I don’t use crates at the moment, but I make sure each dog has a comfy spot to relax and feel secure. In a client’s home, I follow their routine closely—whether that’s feeding schedules, walk times, or specific habits. I’m respectful, reliable, and always focused on keeping pets happy and stress-free while you’re away.

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up on a farm with horses, dogs, goats, chickens, and cats, which taught me how to care for animals of all sizes and personalities. I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life, and I’m experienced with everything from energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets who need extra patience and gentle care. What really sets me apart is my experience working with anxious, shy, and rescue animals. I take the time to read their body language, earn their trust, and create a calm, reassuring environment. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, or quiet companionship, I tailor my care to each pet’s unique needs — treating them like part of my own family. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. I already care for my own dogs and have a flexible schedule that allows me to fit in walks, playtime, feeding, and check-ins throughout the day. Whether it’s early mornings, midday visits, or evening care, I enjoy making time for animals — it’s something that brings me joy and fits seamlessly into my routine every week. In a client’s home, I follow your pet’s normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I handle feeding, walks or litter box care, playtime, medication if needed, and lots of affection. I also send regular updates and photos so you know your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I have taken care of mainly medium to large dogs with high energy. My aunt (having a team of Siberian Husky’s) would often ask for my help with training and race day prep so I was always playing around with dogs in large numbers when living in Colorado. I am currently out of work by 2:30pm Monday-Friday with majority weekend availability. I have no problem with any dog big or small, old or young. I am very active and can keep up with active dogs or slow down if it is an older dog and just go for a leisurely walk. I usually walk my dog for a half hour 3 times a day for a half hour and play with him in my back yard on nice days.

“Laurie was so sweet and very communicative with me the entire day. She was patient with my girl and earned her trust. Will definitely use in the future when I need a walker. Thank you Laurie!”

About: I’ve been around dogs since I was little and have been tasked with letting them out and going on walks since I was 10. I have been helping a family member with their dog for 2 years so I have experience taking care of dogs that aren’t my own. I’m not currently employed. I can work any day of the week including weekends. I’d prefer morning and mid days rather than nights, but if I need to I will. I don’t have any pets of my own but I take care of my aunts dog when they need it. I let her out in their fenced backyard and sometimes take her on walks. I also take my boyfriend’s dog on walks when he can’t. I walk him because their isn’t a backyard, but there is a park near by we like to walk to.

“Srikari is absolutely FANTASTIC! Will continue to book with her.”

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals from raising playful puppies to caring for senior dogs, I’m experienced and comfortable meeting the needs of dogs at every age and stage! As a flight attendant, my schedule is always changing, which actually gives me a lot of flexibility in my time off. On my days home, I love being grounded and spending quality time caring for pets.

Whether it’s a quick drop in, a walk, or overnight care, I make sure to plan around my availability so I can be reliable and present for each pet I care for. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I always aim to create a safe, loving, and calm environment.

“During the meet and greet, Brianna put my mind at ease as this was the first time I’ve let a stranger in my home to watch my dogs. She was kind and very reassuring.
