“Chelsea too very good care of my dog - hanging out when he preferred a cuddle over a walk or spending time outside when that was his preference. All the while, she kept me up to date with messages and photos.”

Becca S.

“Michelle took great care of my boys and had great communication! She provided lots of pictures and a great update. They were very happy with their walk.”

“Olivia is absolutely amazing! She walked our dog Rumi for a week and made us feel completely at ease. She’s incredibly reliable, prompt and communicative, sending lots of updates and pictures. She went above and beyond, taking him on great long walks (rain or shine!) and even wiping his paws after it rained. Rumi loved his midday sniffing breaks and we loved how trustworthy she is. Highly recommend and we’ll definitely use her again!”

About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life and grew up with dogs, which taught me how much comfort and companionship pets bring into our lives. I’m also a devoted cat parent to my rescue cat, Monkey, who is truly like family to me. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets, knowing I treat every animal with patience and love. I have experience with birds, and reptiles as well, including caring for my sister’s indoor pigeons and leopard gecko. I always take the time to understand each pet’s unique personality and needs so they feel safe and cared for. I’m currently available to work late mornings and afternoons, which allows me to give pets my full attention and care. I have plenty of time for playtime, feeding, enrichment, and check-ins. I’m reliable, flexible, and happy to accommodate each pet’s routine to help them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I follow all care instructions closely and make sure pets are always clean, well-fed, hydrated, supervised, and mentally engaged through appropriate enrichment. Whether that’s playtime, walks, gentle interaction, or calm companionship, I tailor enrichment to each pet’s needs and energy level. I’m experienced with providing oral medication when needed and maintaining clean living spaces, including litter boxes, crates, cages, and enclosures. I also provide regular updates, photos, and videos so you can feel confident your pet is in loving hands!

“Jennifer was great with my anxious dog. Very kind and understanding! I appreciated her willingness to do a meet and greet before the first walk!”

About: Hi, my name is Abby! I am looking for a flexible summer job before I start full-time as an auditor in the fall, and I thought animal care would be a good match! I have had many pets throughout my life. There was always at least one dog and one cat at a time, usually many more. I have a deep, genuine care for all animals, and love to give them the love and attention they deserve! This summer I am studying for my CPA license! I have some vacations sprinkled in for the summer as well, but beside those and studying for a few hours a day, I will have plenty of time to take care of and play with your pets! I am available Mon-Fri, 8am-4pm, weekends and hourly exceptions available upon request! My complex unfortunately does not allow pets, so the caretaking would be happening in your home or neighborhood. I will be respectful of your house rules and rules for your pet. I will only be in your home when necessary. I will only use your pet's toys and harnesses as to not cross-contaminate with other pets. I will do my best to accommodate any other request as well.

“We have hired Andrew as a daily walker for our dog while we are at work. He does an excellent job, communicates well, and always arrives on time.”

About: I've had multiple dogs over the last 30 years. Mainly Bull Mastiffs, Border Collie Mix, and multiple Pitties. We lately have been adopting older dogs to give them the best end of life possible. For friends I've watched many smaller to larger dogs, comfortable with all. I have experience with all sorts of meds and care, although I prefer to stay away from anything with needles when possible. We've been to the vet more times than I can count, and have gotten good at understanding/reading dog behavior and signs of distress. I have experience with all soft of personalities...shy or alpha, lazy or rambunctious, etc. I like to understand them and work with them where they are at so they enjoy themselves and are happy. I'm a pretty calm presence and in general dogs trust me right away. My wife will joke that I am a dog whisperer as dogs tend to follow my lead easily, but I think it is simply being confident and projecting that you are there to take care of them. I have a very flexible work schedule and am home most of the time. I only have 1 dog right now (Oscar, 82 lb Pitty who loves everything and everyone...he walks around with soft toys like they are his dolls), but will likely be back to 2 in the near future. I walk my pup(s) pretty much every day. We live near Hart Park and the Oak Leaf Trail so getting out to walk along the river/parks is very easy. New to doing this formally rather than just for friends. Normally watch friends dogs at their place. If we take care of your pup in our home, we will always have 1+ pups that will be other-dog friendly. My wife and I have a small Tosa home but fully fenced-in yard to be able to let them out at any time day or night without worry. We have a small main floor but it has 3-4 dog beds and multiple toys (prefer dogs who are ok with soft toys, as our pup(s) don't rip those up. Will likely prefer caring for your pup in your home, it simply mitigates the crowding in the house and any potential conflicts. If I look after any cats, those would be at your house. We no longer have cats and aren't prepped for that in any way.

“Krystal continues to do an excellent job walking our dog, Taters. Taters is always excited to see Krystal coming, and Krystal has been flexible and accommodating when our schedules changed and we needed to reschedule walks. She’s easy to work with and is clearly great with dogs!”

“Melainie is so great with our chihuahua mix, Bowser. Bowser is a great judge of character and is very selective with who he will allow to rub his belly and he loved Melainie the second he met her!”

About: I’ve taking care of pets since I was 13. I currently have a blind senior german shepherd, and guide him when needed, giving him lots of treats and love. I also have a 1 year puppy and give her frequent time out. I’m planning on working weekends whenever needed to play with doggies and give them the care they need! I can feed them, give medicine, and care for blind and senior dogs. I put my dogs before anything and make sure they have everything they need. Treats, water, food, play time, medicine, supplements, nap time and love.

“Monsserath does great with my shy and anxious dog. She is very patient and understanding and has so much love to give my pup. She is super reliable and I can tell looks forward to seeing my pup every week! I am so lucky to have connected with her and look forward to working with her again in the future.”

“Charlotte was awesome. The dogs were a bit over excited at first but she did a great job of calming them down. Would recommend.”

About: I have experience caring for a variety of animals of different ages, sizes, and temperaments. I am comfortable with post-op care and administering medications. I will care for your pets as if they are my own! I am available most mornings (before 6 am), evenings (6-9 pm), Fridays, and weekends! I am interested in taking dogs for walks, drop-in visits for dogs and cats, and overnight stays to care for pets in their homes. The care and safety of your pets and home are extremely important to me, as a pet parent to four kitties, a fish, and a snail. I am happy to adhere to your preferences and requests for your pet’s comfort and safety.
