“Amber is amazing! She has so much love and patience for my dog gunner, on walks. This is the first time I’ve ever had anyone else provide care for gunner and I’m glad I picked just the right person. She even met my other two dogs and they loved her as well. I highly recommend her.”

“Emily does a wonderful job with our puppy, Finn. She always sends pictures and updates on how the walk went. She’s reliable, friendly, and Finn seems to love her. Highly recommend booking her for your furry friends.”


About: I've always had pet dogs and cats since childhood. At this time my husband and I are unable to have a pet of our own, but I frequently house sit and watch pets for friends and family. I work as a school counselor, so I have plenty of availability during the summer to care for your fur-buddies! I am energetic and enjoy playing with excited animal friends, and I also hold firm boundaries and can support your training. I work at a school, so I have plenty of time over the summer to love and care for your pets! I teach summer school from eight to noon a few weeks over the summer, and I also teach occasional yoga classes, but besides those commitments, my time belongs to the fur-babies! I am very energetic and happy to go for long walks or play with dogs to tire them out! I am also clean and detail-oriented so I will take good care of your home if you are away. During the school year I work as a school counselor so I value service to others, honesty, integrity, and sharing joy and kindness.

I also love running and would be happy to run your dog if you’d prefer that. I walked my neighbors dogs in high school and I’ve had dogs all my life. I work full time so I’m really looking for weekend gigs, but I’m also free most weekdays after 4:15.

I have experience in giving cats and reptiles medicine orally and via subcutaneous injection. For dogs, I have experience with general care and training.

This allows me to fit pet care and visits seamlessly into my schedule. For client home care, I keep food and water at discussed levels. I will also hang out, love, and play with your pet for at least 20 minutes during each visit. For dogs, I will take out on walks. If you pet likes brushes, I'm all for it! If they need meds, I can administer as needed.

About: Had cats all my life and dogs for last 12 years. Animals have a sixth sense about people and I'm one of those they seek out for rubs, cuddles, playtime, snacks and love... I'm not currently working so I'm available for any time through the remainder of this April within 30 miles of my town. Once I'm working full time again I will be available evenings closer to home and all times on the weekends. I'm also available for overnights at your location and can leave for work from anywhere. I will only be able to care for pets at your home as we currently have 2 cats (one who is very persnickedy) and a senior dog rescue who is going blind and is afraid of everyone.

I am a nurse and a mom, so you can be assured that I will take care of your pets with the utmost care and loving presence as I do for my family and my patients. I have a flexible job which allows me to make time to help with your furry friend. I like to be able to fill my day with the joy of dog and cat snuggles. N/A - This does not apply to me due to only being available for dog walking or singular pet visits. No home care services offered.
About: I have experience caring for pets, having grown up with them, and I am available with a flexible schedule throughout the summer months. I would be happy to assist if needed.

I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals—whether it's going for walks, playing fetch, or simply offering affection and companionship. My priority is always to ensure pets feel happy, safe, and well cared for.

I have been the primary trainer of the dogs my husband and I have had, so I’ve done a lot of reading as well as hands-on practice with professional trainers. I work from home part-time, so I have solid availability for dog walking and spending quality time with your pup. Whether it’s a short or long walk, or a check in, I have flexibility to offer. I use a leash for dogs in my yard. I especially enjoy walking them in our neighborhood and playing games inside and in the yard.
About: I have always had a dog in my like and have been the sole provider for at least a year in each dogs life that I have had. My dog I have now is almost two years old and I have also dog sat for neighbors, friends, and coworkers numerous times. I am currently working and taking classes from home so I have more than enough time to watch the puppies and give them the attention and help that they need. If I pet sit at your home I will do things in whatever way you request and I will do my best to follow directions to a T. I live in an apartment complex so if they stay the night I will have to take them out on a leash. But regardless of where I am I will try to follow your instructions as well as call and text with any questions whether they be big or small.
