About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life. I have experience with small dogs and big dogs. I have gone through puppy kindergarten classes with my dog as well. I have taken care of dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, Guinea pigs, birds and bearded dragons. Pet care fits into my routine as I am pretty flexible on weekends, so that I can let them out frequently. I work as an instructional assistant for an elementary school. I can care for animals before and after work as well as my lunch breaks. I follow the school schedule and get holidays and breaks off as well. I prefer staying in the clients home so that the pets can stay in their comfort zone and as close to their normal routine. With that said, I am also very flexible. I can stay in the home, offer drop in visits or care for them in my home. Whatever the client prefers.
About: IVDD-experienced dachshund mom with hands-on rehab experience, plus years caring for rescue dogs and high-energy heelers through walks, training, and overnight sitting with deep compassion. Pet care is a central part of my routine. With a flexible, work-from-home schedule, I’m able to prioritize walks, enrichment, and one-on-one attention so dogs feel safe, supported, and at home. I provide calm, structured care, closely follow routines, use crate training when appropriate, have a fenced yard, and offer IVDD-safe handling, walks, interactive play, and regular updates.
About: Safety, communication, and exceptional care—every single time. With years of hands-on pet-care experience, I’m committed to providing reliable, responsible service you can trust. I’m attentive to routines, meds, feeding schedules, and special needs. Your pet stays comfortable and your home stays tidy—just the way you left it. Clear updates, lots of love, zero stress. I am currently a stay at home mom and work part time from home. My schedule is flexible so I can be available as needed. At this time, I will only be offering care in your home. I do have a senior dog that is not friends with everyone. If your fur baby needs a play date, I can bring my 4 year old Australian shepherd who loves to run and play.
“Very polite and professional, will definitely be a returning client for Kari! She walked my chocolate lab named Hiccup even though it started to rain. Thank you so much!”

About: You can also go to my business page on Facebook. Haylie's Whiskers and Wags Pet Care I have cared for many different breeds of dogs. Whether that be just feeding, to training and grooming. I have had my personal pets for over 10 years. I have a very open schedule and I am open most of the time. I could fulfill a full or part-time schedule for any owners in need. I have a fenced in yard. My dogs eat off a feeding schedule. I have also potty trained all of my dogs. I bathe my dogs once a mouth to every two mouths as well to keep them not matted and promote hair and skin health. I do this full time. Whether that is boarding, drop-ins, doggy day care or grooming. I love my job everyday spending time with the fur babies. Getting to know them and their mom and dad. I have a fenced in backyard with a fenced portion in the front. The dogs are constantly able to be observed through the day because I do this full time and when I'm not able to they are if needed in a crate. Like my pups are when I have to leave at anytime.
About: I offer reliable, attentive care for dogs of all sizes and personalities. Whether your pup loves long walks, quiet company, or playtime in the yard, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m patient, consistent, and experienced with both high energy dogs and those who prefer a slower pace. My goal is to keep their routine steady, provide plenty of attention, and treat every dog like they’re my own. I will always do my best to follow your pets schedule each day to help create a low stress stable environment. Please reach out to me for special requests. I care for every pet as if they were my own, with patience, consistency, and attention to detail. For new clients I like to try and have a introduction to help build trust and familiarity. During walks and drop in visits, I make sure dogs get the right mix of exercise, structure, and positive interaction to keep them happy and healthy. For overnight stays, I focus on maintaining their normal routine meals, walks, playtime, and plenty of affection so they feel secure and comfortable in their own home. My approach is calm, reliable, and based on understanding each pet’s unique personality and needs.

When taking care of animals in other people's homes, I would prioritize their comfort and well-being by following specific instructions provided by the pet owner. I would ensure they have access to fresh water, appropriate food, and a clean living environment. Engaging in regular playtime and exercise would help keep them happy and active, while also providing companionship. I would also monitor their health and behavior closely, watching for any signs of distress or illness, and maintain open communication with the pet owner to keep them updated on their furry friends.
