About: Retired vet. I’ve cared for and been around dogs/cats for as long as I can remember. I also worked at a pet store during my 4 years of high school. I currently work part time Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights. Sometimes not all three of those days. Work is on Burbank and close to home. We currently have 2 dachshunds, and looking to have a corgi in the near future. We take them out for daily walks, and have an open area with leads.


“Very friendly, excellent communication, and flexible/accommodating with scheduling. Has experience with many types of dogs, and is in tune with dog needs and safety. Reliable person that I trust to take care of my puppy!”


About: I've been caring for dogs since I was about 10 years old, so you could say it's in my blood. Over the years, I've learned so much about their different personalities and needs. One of the most special dogs in my life was my own, who lived to the incredible age of 18. He was a constant companion and taught me so much about loyalty and love. That experience really shaped my approach to dog care, making me extra attentive and dedicated to their well-being. I also have experience with cats and rabbits as well. I usually work my other job in the mornings, but I can be flexible to fit your schedule. Let me know what times work best for you, and I'll do my best to accommodate! Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, I always make sure they have a safe, comfortable, and fun environment. I follow their regular feeding and exercise routines, and I'm always attentive to their individual needs and quirks. Lots of playtime, cuddles, and positive reinforcement are definitely part of the deal!


“Maiara was wonderful with our dog, Buddy. She took her time and gave Buddy nice, long walks. She made sure he was safe and happy and sent us pictures and a thorough report every time. We will definitely book her again!”


“Kristi did an excellent job with Bo! He was very excited to see her and had a fun walk with her and slept well after. :-) She did a great job at keeping me updated throughout the walk, and I was very pleased overall!”


“Jenny was fantastic! She was very flexible and professional. She took wonderful care of my dog. I came back from a trip and he was very happy and relaxed. She was easy to work with, great with my pets, and followed all my directions perfectly. I definitely plan to use her again. So happy to have found an awesome dog walker!”


About: I’ve helped take care of several dogs, mainly my grandpa’s dog ever since I was a kid. From walking, to feeding, to cuddling, I’m happy to help look after your pets while you’re away. I work full time during the school year (9-4) but have more free time on the weekends! I have full availability June - Mid August, so don’t hesitate to ask if it’s outside of my normal hours in summer! I try to treat my pets with the best care! I currently have two cats. They are regularly fed, played with and snuggled at home. I do my best to keep a clean litter box and clean up after pups.

About: I graduated with my Bachelors of Animal Science and have been around animals my whole life. I worked at a pet spa and resort in high school taking care of dogs and cats, I've worked at two zoos taking care of exotic animals, and I have dog and cat sat for friends and family. I am currently a teacher and will have my summers off so I can care for your pet at any time! Currently I am a teacher and have my summers off. I will be available anytime to watch your pet. I love to stay active so walking your pet will not be a problem! I currently have a leopard gecko named Remi. She is very low maintenance but I love to get her out and let her wander around for enrichment and exercise. Working at Zoos and having lots of experience caring for animals I truly believe that enrichment and exercise are so important for an animals health and well-being.

About: I’ve had pets since I was 2 years old! I’ve also worked with animals since I was 19 at several animal shelters, animal hospitals, and boarding places! I don’t currently have a car of my own to drive, which is why my pet care schedule is the way it is! I will be able to drive to see your pets when I have a car available to me which is Friday-Sunday, anytime after 12pm! I can drop in to give your fur babies much needed love and potty breaks! A fenced in yard is preferred so that there is plenty of room to play with your pup! However, I will gladly take your pup on a nice brisk walk if you don’t have a fenced in yard!

About: I have house / dog/ and cat sit for neighbors and friends for many years and am looking forward to meet you and your pets!! Available briefing in mornings but mainly in afternoons, evenings to check on whatever needed and am always near Wooster for anything that may come up. I have watched several houses/ pets over the years and am always very conscientious about when arriving to homes/ leaving for safety, security and keeping a close eye on pets.

About: I grew up in a home full of animals, including three boxers. I have taken care of them in their senior age so I also know what that may look like! I currently have three dogs of my own, all of which i’ve had since they were puppies, so I am aware of what puppy care/training can look like as well! I currently work overnight, and am home all day. My schedule is 9pm-9am so I am home from around 9:30am-8:30pm. My significant other is on first shift, so he is home during the night! I have a fenced in yard, and three pups to keep yours company! Since I am home all day, they can have potty breaks and freedom as much as they’d like! If I do have to run an errand it is normally not for more than 2 hours, but if your pup needs crated, I can easily do that! There is a spare room that if they need some down time or you’d prefer them to be alone at any point, they can just hangout in there! We have them on relatively the same schedule everyday. Wake up around 9, go outside and play, eat around 10, then we can play all day! They eat again around 7pm. If you need me to come watch your pup in your home I have also done that numerous times!

I am currently in Wooster with my fiance for the summer, and am looking for work on top of working on my veterinary school applications.
