About: I believe that pets should be treated like your own family member. Exercise, affection, grooming and good nutrition are all important to a Happy pet. I've had pets all my life, both cats and dogs as well exotic animals. For the past 15 years, I've had friends, family and co-workers seek me out to care for their pets. They trust my ability and love. I can be there at anytime you need me. Thanks for your concentration and I hope to hear from you soon.
About: I have always loved dogs and always wanted one. So since I can’t have one I would love to take care of yours! I have taken care of many dogs of the years. I have watched dogs through house sitting. The longest I watched someone’s dogs was a month. I’m very comfortable around dogs and love them very much. They would get all the love from me! I am a teacher so I’m on summer break. I have all the time in the world! I would love to include walking dogs in my summer routine. I always clean up after myself and your dog. I make sure your and your dogs needs are always met. I don’t have space for a dog at my own house though.
“Kaylor had filled in for my current walker who had to cancel a walk unexpectedly. I was so appreciative of her quick responses to my messages and of her flexibility. She handled my highly anxious fur-baby very professionally. Can’t wait to use her again in the future!”
About: Taking care of pets has been a part of my life. Whether it is my own pets, neighbors or family I have been entrusted with many wonderful animals. I just love dogs and find it very hard to resist trying to pet every one I see! I have administered various medications to dogs and want to be a calming loving person in their lives. I currently have an adult dog and a puppy so I am used to all levels of activity! I do work full-time during the day Monday-Friday, however I have a flexible lunch schedule and my nights and weekends are free. I work in the public school setting so I have Holidays and Summers off where I hope to be able to help lots of clients. I have 2 dogs and 3 cats (and an aquarium full of creatures). I have a fenced in yard but take my dogs for 2 walks a day. I have a variety of toys and beds and my dogs are definitely allowed up on the couch (but understand if yours are not!).
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats throughout high school and college. I first gained experience with my friends and family's fur babies. I understand that your furry friends are not just pets, but cherished members of your family. That's why I am dedicated to offering the highest standard of care, attention, and affection to ensure their happiness and well-being. I am a dedicated graduate student with a passion for providing top notch pet care tailored to your furry family members. I am currently immersed in the world of academia, which at times may be busy. However my love for animals remains unwavering and I've mastered the art of balancing a semi busy schedule with commitment to delivering exceptional pet care. Building trust is the most important aspect of providing quality pet care, which is why I am committed to understanding each pets individual needs, schedules, routines, and preferences. Through patience and understanding, I work to understand your fur baby's need. I believe happy pets are enriched pets! I strive to go beyond the basics by providing a fun stimulating environment for your furbaby. I believe in transparency and keeping you connected to your furbaby's experiences. Regular updates including photo messages will provide a glimpse into your babys life while away.
About: I have been fortunate enough to gain years of experience working with animals in both a shelter and medical setting. I am well trained in various routes of medicine administration as a result and love every dog I meet. I just want to be able to make a difference for the pets and their families within my community. I do currently work a full time schedule as a veterinary technician, and study part time, so I generally have a rather busy schedule. I am well-disciplined, however, and manage my time around all of my commitments appropriately, and your furry friends hold a high priority for me. I can prepare for overnight duties and have flexible enough time in the mornings and evenings, and could feasibly do drop-in care over the noon hour. My weekends are generally clear! I sincerely promise to be completely respectful of your living space if I am hired to provide care for your furry little loved ones, guaranteed.

Whether it’s going the extra mile on a walk, giving medication, or just spending time cuddling and playing, she treats every animal as if it were their own. If you’re looking for someone reliable, compassionate, and genuinely passionate about animals, Kate is the perfect choice. Your pets will be in excellent hands.”

I have recommended her to several friends who also have used her very regularly and are happy. She is trustworthy, hardworking, and reliable. She's the best.”
