About: I have had dogs growing up all my life. I am currently s bio (pre - vet) major with experience from internships in animal care. But its not just about the skills I’ve gathered, I have always genuinely cared about the animals around me! Whether they are pets, wild animals, etc. I’m currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to fit pet care into my schedule!! Other than Mondays and Wednesdays, my schedule is very flexible!! I have two friendly dogs. They are both elders so they need rest and cuddles more than anything. When they were younger and more active, we would play fetch and take walks around our neighborhood!

“Great communication and able to accommodate us last minute. Highly recommend.”

About: I spent 3 months last fall volunteering at a dog shelter (5 days a week, 4 hours a day), I’ve worked many dog and cat sitting jobs, and I’ve had my rescue dog Artie for 14 years. I have experience with puppies, senior and rescue dogs. I’m currently home until September and looking for some extra work! I have a full time summer job but am available for house-sitting the last week of August, as well as able to do local dog walks or drop-in visits most mornings. I can follow instructions to care for your pets in your home how you want me to. I’m more than happy to take them for walks, play with them, feed them (including any medications) and give them lots of love!

About: My experience in pet care began during my childhood on my grandparents’ farm, where I was surrounded by a wide variety of animals every day. From an early age, I learned the importance of responsibility, compassion, and attentive care. I gained hands-on experience feeding, grooming, and nurturing animals of all kinds—including dogs, cats, livestock, and small animals—each with their own unique needs and personalities. More than just daily routines, I developed strong, loving bonds with the animals I cared for, treating them as family. That foundation shaped my deep understanding of animal behavior and my commitment to providing patient, personalized, and reliable care for every pet I work with. I bring a deep love and understanding of dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. From playful pups to sweet seniors, I tailor each walk to fit their needs. I prioritize safety, communication, and fun—always engaging with your dog and even teaching basic cues like sit, stay, and wait during our adventures. I’m passionate about nature and I believe dogs thrive when they can safely explore their environment —sniffing the breeze, feeling the grass under their paws, and soaking up the world around them. I’m dependable, energetic, and treat every dog like my own. Whether it’s a gentle stroll or a playful outing, your pup will be in great hands and have a tail-wagging good time! Dog walking fits perfectly into my current routine. I’m a part-time healthcare worker with a consistent schedule, working from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. Outside of those hours, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability and plenty of time to dedicate to your pup. I truly enjoy incorporating walks into my day—they keep me active, bring me joy, and let me connect with more wonderful dogs. Your dog will receive dependable, loving care from someone who’s already made this a part of daily life. Safety, trust, and a positive environment are at the heart of every walk I take. I prioritize clean, open, and dog-friendly spaces—like the Rail-Trail, local parks, and secure walking paths—where pups can enjoy fresh air and nature safely. I always use leash control, stay highly observant of their behavior, and make sure every walk is calm, comfortable, and secure. Whether we’re exploring a quiet trail or playing at a safe dog park, your dog’s well-being is my top priority. You can trust that your pup is in caring, capable, and experienced hands every step of the way.

About: I love to care for my dog and love to meet other dogs. I am open to any dog and its unique personality. I have taken care of all sizes of dogs and always want to meet their needs. I don't mind taking them on walks around the neighborhood and am happy to take pictures or videos of how they are doing. I am primarily available on the weekends but will make time for weekday evenings. I am currently applying to other weekday jobs and will update my schedule accordingly. I’m moving to Amherst on August 26th so I recommend not booking after this date. I will not be in the area I let my dog outside when he asks for it and keep a close eye on him. I also supervise all dogs outside, making sure they don't go into places they should not go. I will also provide baths when asked and can give oral medication.

About: Connecting with animals and ensuring they feel loved and cared for is what I do best. With my knack for understanding each pet's unique needs and personality, I provide a range of tailored care services, from engaging playtime and comfortable walks to precise medication administration and gentle grooming. Safety and happiness are my top priorities. I know life gets busy, so I'm all about flexibility and reliability to make sure your pet care fits perfectly into your schedule. Whether you need regular help or just the occasional support, I'm here to offer a friendly, professional service that you and your pet will look forward to. I'm self-employed, so I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule. I try to be as accommodating as possible for your pet care needs. I am not able to host pets in my home at this time. I am happy to come to your home, as I find this is often the best choice for many pets' safety and comfort. I will be upfront and provide advanced notice if I need to leave your pet at home for whatever reason. It's my top priority to maintain safety and cleanliness.

“Keri was extremely professional and flexible with her schedule. She checks in during her stays and you can feel confident your pup is in good hands when they’re with her!”

About: I've trained two dogs that I got when they were puppies. I currently have 1 dog and many chickens. I've watched dogs and cats in the past. I've also had cats, hamsters, fish, a rabbit, birds, guinea hens and chickens. I currently work from home most days. When I don't, I'm not gone for long. I prefer to be home if I'm pet sitting and that changes from time to time. My yard is fenced and blocked off on two sides. There is a field behind the house that's usually grass that's usually too tall for domestic animals to go into.
