About: My family has had dogs and cats since I was young and I now have a cat of my own. As a kid I got to know my neighbors through their dogs. I have experience taking take of dogs of various breeds, sizes and ages. I am currently working full-time with a flexible schedule. Let me know what you need and I will do my best to make it work. I quadruple check that harness and leash are secure before we even leave the house. Every pet has their own needs and will discuss with you before taking care of your pet.

About: I grew up around dogs and nothing makes me happier than making pets feel loved and safe! I can't wait for the day I can adopt my own dog, but in the meantime, I have lots of free time to keep your pets company. I'm reliable and a quick communicator, and will do whatever you need to keep your pet in their routine, happy, and healthy. Currently in between roles, so I have lots of free time to take your dog on walks or stop by for a visit! Will always follow instructions to ensure healthy and happy pets. Safety and trust is my biggest priority, so I'll be sure to fully understand what your pets needs while you’re away. Love sending lots of pictures and updates!

About: I've grown up around dogs and love spending time with them. I deeply miss my family dog who I always spoil when I visit. Outside of my family I regularly am my friends go to care taking/ walking person. I'm comfortable with dogs of any size except extra-large breeds. I can also give medication that's mixed into food, though I'm not set up for injections. I live with roommates who also have pet care experience in a quiet household. My schedule is flexible I work from home, so I can offer more consistent attention and some flexibility around visit times. My neighborhood has several parks nearby and is easy and pleasant to walk around, so walks are never just a quick lap around the block. I am currently working part time and am available for weekly or even daily times! My schedule will be updated regularly to reflect any unavailability ahead of time. My home is currently pet free and I have a large living room area they can explore around. Before any pets visit I make sure there isn't anything that they shouldn't interact with. I clean the space and check for any plants that may need to be moved around and I can keep them crated if needed too.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have hands-on experience raising and training my own. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, basic commands, routines, and lots of love and attention. I know every dog has their own personality, so I’ll follow your routine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with me. I currently work from home, so I have plenty of flexibility throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and attention. I’m used to caring for my 16-year-old dog and taking him out every 1–2 hour, but he is in doggy heaven now. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ll follow their normal routine, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions. I’m also happy to send plenty of pictures and updates so you know your fur baby is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I have had my own dog since I was born, and through this I fell in love with pets. I then started the care end of it on a smaller scale and then improved once I got more clients. I would go to client's house while they were on vacation to take care of their pets, i.e. walking, feeding, bathroom breaks, and entertainment. I would also walk dogs that needed a break in the day while their parents were away at work. I even started my own dog walking business junior year, but I have a small community so it didn't take off. I got a few replies from this, and did the best of my ability to get there in a timely manner. I hope to end up doing it on a bigger scale this summer and gain even more experience with dogs. I am available all day to check in on your pets as frequently as you would like. I just finished a grad school program and am currently looking at applying to others so I wanted the time in between to be filled with work that I really enjoy. I have a great respect for people’s home and personal items. I understand it can be difficult to let a stranger into your home to care for your animal who often means the world to you however I will work hard to make you and your furry friend comfortable!

About: I’ve dog sat a number of times through the years. I have never had a dog myself (mom said no :/), but have been surrounded by them for as long as I can remember. My roommate has a dog that I take care of regularly. My good friend who lives across the hall has a cat, and she’s extremely experienced with animals if I ever have a question. I work remotely most days, so it’s easy for me to pop out for a quick walk. I’m also available for night care most weeknights. I love to play, walk, and cuddle with pets (if that’s what they want to do). I am a respectful houseguest and would make sure to keep your house in perfect shape. In my home, pets can roam about freely.

About: I have taken care of my two westies all my life. They were my very best friends. Unfortunately they recently passed and I would love to keep the joy and love of dogs in my life. I have a flexible work schedule during the week where I am sometimes out and about and sometimes home. My weekends are free. I am open to different services during those days such as walks, daycare and boarding. I live in an animal friendly apartment and frequently take strolls outside. I know how important it is for dogs to get exercise and potty breaks. There are no other animals living in my apartment. My boyfriend is sadly allergic to most shedding dogs so i can only board hypoallergenic doggies in my apt! :(

About: I've lived with pets of all shapes and sizes my entire life. When I was a newborn, my family had 10+ pets at home, including dogs, cats, birds, and reptiles, and I haven't really known life without animals since! I of course do not discriminate against any kind of pet, but my specialty is dogs. We've had all kinds of breeds over the years, from Mini Australian Shepherds and Chihuahuas to adorable mutts and deaf Great Danes. We also fostered litters of puppies and senior pets growing up, so even though it has been a while, I have plenty of experience caring for animals of all different ages. Growing up with so many pets has given me lots of hands-on experience with everything animal, including walking, bathing, basic training, cleaning up some serious messes, and, naturally, never ending cuddles. While I haven't had a ton of formal pet-care experience, caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life. I've also volunteered at animal shelters, where I've walked, cuddled, and cleaned up after all kinds of dogs and cats. I'm the kind of person that asks every owner I see in public if I can pet their dog, regardless of the company I'm in and the places I have to be. Even when they shouldn't be, animals are my main priority, and yours will be too! I have a flexible schedule as a current Master's student. At the moment, I only have classes in the evenings three days a week, so my days are very open! I'm also more than happy to spend time with your pets on the weekends. I am currently in the process of finding a part-time job, so my schedule may change in the future. However, I expect to still have a pretty flexible schedule and will always do my best to communicate my availability clearly! If I'm pet sitting at your home, I'll do my best to spend as much time with your pet as possible throughout the day while balancing classes and other clients. I'll also make sure not to leave your pet alone for longer than necessary and will always do my best to be home before dark. I'll send plenty of puppy updates, pictures, and videos so you can see that your baby is happy and in good hands! I'm also very flexible and will do my best to keep your pet's normal routine and schedule as consistent as possible while you're away.
