About: Hello! I have been a dog owner for most of my life and a dog lover as far back as I can remember. I look forward to meeting your beloved furry family member and offering my help as needed. I have experience with many breeds and also with dog aggressive pups. I work as a touring musician and when I'm home I like to have a little extra something. Spending my time with animals is truly lovely. I can usually make short notice or scheduled requests work, although scheduled are my preference. Please message if you have questions; I'd love to work something out! I have a fenced in yard and enough room in my home to keep my dog and yours apart if necessary. I live .25mi from a dog park if you’d like me to take your pup there & I love going for walks.

About: I have had experience owning dogs all my life, but I have also worked with and fostered shelter dogs over the past 12 years. I've spent a lot of time with larger dogs, but love being with any and all breeds! I live in a home with a fenced backyard and front yard, which makes playtime and potty breaks a breeze! Plus, I usually work from home and my office is less than 10 minutes away when I do go in for a few hours. I have a 6-year old pittie mix named Rosie who loves playing with other dogs, and now in her adult years, loves napping on the couch with them, too. In general, I work from home. Even on days when I go into the office, it's usually only for a few hours. That means that on most days, Rosie (and whatever other dog is here) get lots of time going between the backyard and the rest of the house, a walk or two, and maybe a trip to the dog park. My front and back yards are fenced, which makes playtime easy. I have large airline crate and smaller wire crate if visiting dogs prefer to be in there (or can't be trusted to be out and about) while I'm gone.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and genuinely love caring for them. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, personalities and energy levels, whether they need long walks and playtime or just some company and belly rubs. I’m active, dependable and attentive to each dog’s individual routine and needs. I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pup, so I’ll treat them like they’re my own I currently work from home and have the flexibility to care for pets throughout the day. I’m available for walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention, and I can easily adjust my routine to fit your pet’s normal schedule I want every pet to feel comfortable, safe, and at home while they’re in my care. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, crate time, and any house rules. I’ll give them plenty of attention and exercise while respecting their individual personality and needs. And of course, expect lots of photo updates so you know your pup is happy and well cared for.

“We couldn’t be happier with our experience! Daniela has been absolutely wonderful with our dog Winston and a huge help to us! You could tell right away how much she cared - she always checked in to see what time frame worked best for us to grab him before his walks, spent time with him in the dog park to play fetch and let him run around with friends, and also walked him around the complex to ensure he got his exercise in. We loved receiving the photos after each outing. Winston came home happy and tired every time! We highly recommend using her if you live in the area and are looking for a reliable and loving dog walker.”

About: Hi, my name is Tiffany! I'm here to care for your pets like I do my very own cat and dog. Through fostering and my personal life I have experience feeding, cleaning after, and caring for a kitten, adult cat, puppy, and adult dog. We can take a walk around the neighborhood and hit all of their favorite sniff spots, a snack if approved, and of course...belly rubs! I would love to get to know your fur babies 🙂 "Animals are such agreeable friends ― they ask no questions, they pass no criticisms." I'm currently working a full time job at the moment. I am hoping to do some part time walking and sitting when my schedule permits so I can get my dog and cat fix! I understand and respect that pets have certain routines. I am happy to accommodate any needs such as pets being crated, pets with a limited diet (allergies), pets that require a harness for walking, and pets that may not do well with others.

I have two big dogs of my own, so I’m confident handling larger, high-energy pets and I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away.

I’m available most days and can adjust to your pet’s routine to keep things consistent and stress-free. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priority.

About: Hi, my name is Kyla! I am a creative and wildlife graduate who loves animals of all kinds! I'm experienced with both large and small dogs, as well as cats and even reptiles! I have 3 cats, a leopard gecko, and a childhood dog. I enjoy playing with them all, teaching them new tricks, and going on regular walks. I'm very flexible and will try my best to work with your busy schedule. Don't hesitate to reach out for any additional needs such as putting food out, giving treats, or refilling water bowls. I understand that animals can get anxious when their hoomans are away and I will be sure to make sure they feel safe and as calm as can be. I'm thrilled to get to know your best friend and go above and beyond in any way that I can. I currently run my own crochet business, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your fur babies! I am available during the day Monday-Friday and on all day on some weekends! I am in an apartment with cats of my own, I do not offer boarding or doggy daycare. I do offer home stays and am very experienced with it! I am also available to drop by to walk, feed, or play with your fur baby!

Megan was absolutely lovely to work with! My dog, who is usually a nervous guy, immediately took to her calm and confident energy. She was super at working with his need! I also loved working with her as well! She asked all the right questions at the meet and greet, so I had no qualms leaving my pets in her hands. Plus, she was super respectful to my home, and she even gave bonus love to the kitties while picking my high energy, anxious dog up for his walk.

Katherine and Clayton were absolutely amazing with my dog, Harper! She’s a rescue, and her training has definitely been a work in progress. They were so patient, kind, and understanding with her, taking the time to build her trust and make her feel comfortable. It didn’t take long for Harper to become their little fan, she absolutely loves them both! They truly went above and beyond to make both Harper and me feel comfortable and cared for. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. 5 stars across the board! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I’ll definitely be booking with them again in the future!
