About: I’ve fostered, raised, and trained dogs of every kind since I was 12. I have experience ranging from aggressive “working” breeds to loyal family pets. I’ve led my personal dogs through obedience & agility course training at young ages, and I’ve taken care of them in senior stages with physical therapy and supplement regimes. I work a fully remote job from home and can be very attentive to your dog throughout the day. I’m available for overnight boarding 7 days a week Daily walks, treats, cuddle time and training (if needed) are provided. I go to my local park daily around 12-1pm. Morning and evening walks after meals, everyday.
“Isabelle is fantastic! She’s always punctual, polite and our dog, Lady Belle, absolutely adores her. Isabelle goes above and beyond for our pup. I highly recommend her services!”
About: My pet care journey started 12 years ago when my family brought home our pug, Peppa. Since then, I have cared for various friends and family pets. Now I’m offering my services to my neighbors. I provide pet care (walking, feeding, playing,) in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings 7 days a week. I am hairdresser and make my own hours. I will be making sure your animals basic needs are taken care of while also giving emotional support to them as they know you are away.
About: I don’t just “watch” pets — I get to know their personalities, routines, and quirks so they feel safe, loved, and relaxed in my care. I treat every dog as if they were my own, making sure they get the physical exercise, mental stimulation, and emotional comfort they need. Pet care is a core part of my everyday life. I plan my mornings, afternoons, and evenings around walk times, feeding schedules, and check-ins. Each day includes plenty of time for exercise, play, and one-on-one attention with the pets I care for. Whether it’s a daily walk, a drop-in visit, or an overnight stay, I make sure each animal gets the care and consistency they need. In my home, I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment with plenty of attention, play, and routine. Pets have comfy spaces, fresh water, and structured care. In clients’ homes, I follow their instructions closely, keeping pets on their normal schedule while respecting their space. I give regular updates and treat every pet like my own.
About: Grew up with dogs, but traveled too much for it to be fair to the dog if I had one. Now the wife won’t let me get one so I figured I’d walk everyone else’s. I work from home and love dogs. I have the time to walk with them, so I decided to do it. Whether you need your dog picked up/dropped off or bathed and blow dried, I have you covered. I care for all pets as if they were my own. I make sure the environment is always safe for them while still allowing them to enjoy the day.
“My wife and I needed a dog walker last minute. We also needed someone to come by early. Amy was very professional. She continuously gave me updates on the walk. This was my first time using a hired dog walker and Amy made me and my wife feel very comfortable. We very much appreciate Amy and the effort she took to walk our dog.”
