Natalie is an excellent dog walker. She’s always on time and my Ziggy is always glad to see her and whines when she leaves.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was a child. I cared for my own dog for seven years, which included intensive senior care. Several friends have asked me to watch their dogs for them, which I’m always happy to do! I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to spend time with your pet! I’m home most of the week, and love getting outside and taking walks, so I’d be happy to spend time indoors or outdoors playing with your pet! I have a large yard I can walk your pet around, as well as quick access to multiple walking trails at local parks. I have two large dog cages if necessary and a couple dog beds as well.

About: Hi, I’m Tony! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I’m lucky enough to have turned that love into my career. I’m a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) graduate currently trying to get my license. I’m passionate about making pets feel safe, loved, and cared for — just like part of the family. Whether it’s a playful puppy, a senior dog needing extra TLC, or a cat who just needs a cozy lap to nap on, I’m here to make sure your pet feels happy and at home, even when you can’t be there. I am currently in Colorado for a few months, while I wait for my veterinary license. I have lots of free time during the week to dedicate to caring for your pets! I treat every pet like family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and relaxed in their own home. During each visit, I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and medications. I have clinical experience, so I’m also comfortable caring for senior pets, special needs pets, and administering medications if needed. You’ll receive regular updates and photos, and you can trust that your pet is in kind, capable hands every step of the way. My goal is to provide not just care, but comfort, attention, and peace of mind, for both you and your pet!

About: Growing up we always had animals. When I was old enough, I cared for them 24/7. Once I got in high school, I joined FFA and my love for animals grew more than I could ever imagine. Now I wanna care for everyone’s pets like they’re my own and make sure they are well taken care of when in my care. I currently work full time as a pharmacy technician but I work 7 on 7 off so I have plenty of free time to help you with your babies. I am open to doing whatever makes you feel most comfortable. I have 2 dogs of my own but they are great with other animals.

About: I’m a mom to humans and furballs and I love them just the same. I am a stay at home mom and I have two daughters. They are almost 14 and 11 and they love animals as much as I do. We have two Boston’s, Kona and Kai and they love to go on walks and take trips to the lake. ♥️ I have had animals all of my life, I’ve worked at vet offices as a kennel worker and also a vet tech assistant. I’ve groomed my families four poodles since I was in high school which also led me to work at dog groomers over the years. I am just a huge animal lover and have rescued so many dogs and cats in my 41 years of living. They are just my passion. I would love to come visit or walk your babies for you! I am a stay at home mom so I am available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to care for your pets! My schedule is wide open to take bookings. We have a fenced in yard for lots of controlled running/playing. We have two friendly Bostons that can either play with and keep your pups company, or would easily love to lay in their beds (crates) all day and your pups would never see them. Although they may hear their snoring coming from the bedroom.

About: Hugh L. III (nickname Trey) To comfort any animal brings comfort to me. I will do anything to ensure health and happiness for your pets even if it is merely sitting with them and providing company and love. I have experience with administering medication, dog walks, continuing a training regimen set by owner or introducing new behavioral solutions, caring for high anxiety animals with patience and gentleness. Also I have experience in caring for geriatric and special needs animals: diaper changing, getting pets in and out of wheelchairs, and care and cleaning for incontinence. I am currently taking care of pets full time so If I am house/pet sitting for you I will be able to spend the majority of my time there with your pets and giving them the love and attention that they deserve! If you’re needing drop in visits or walks I will be able to accommodate a wide variety of requests at various times. I will be offering all services except for boarding in my own home because present circumstances prevent me from doing so. If I sit for you in your home I will treat it with the utmost respect and abide by any and all guidelines you provide including cleaning up after any pet incident, bathing, playtime, etc.

About: I’ve had pets since I was a child (birds, hamsters, cats, dogs, and rabbits). I love all animals and enjoy taking care of them. I also have experience with caring for puppies and elderly dogs. I will love you pet like family. I’m currently working from home so I will have plenty of time to care for your pet during the day. I work to have a pet care schedule to ensure the needs of the pets are met. I live in a beautiful neighborhood and have a large backyard. While it is not fenced, I take walks frequently throughout the day and play outside with dogs. At night, I can easily use a crate if that is preferred or the pup can sleep on its own bed. Happy to accommodate your fur baby.
