Dog Walking Deerhorn

About: Dogs have been part of my life since day one. I grew up in a pet-loving family and later adopted two huskies of my own, whom I’ve spent the last six years training and adventuring with. As a cat, dog, and fish owner, I understand that every pet has unique needs. I’m friendly, reliable, communicative, and dedicated to making pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m an educator with summers off, which gives me a flexible schedule to meet your pet’s needs. When I’m not working, you’ll find me tending my garden, walking my two dogs, or paddle boarding. I love spending time outdoors and can provide attentive, reliable care tailored to your pet’s routine and personality. When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine to help them feel secure, comfortable, and stress-free while you’re away. I’m experienced with solo and tandem leash walking for multiple dogs and of various sizes, ages, and energy levels. I am also comfortable administering medications, following specific feeding schedules, and accommodating special care instructions. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive care while keeping your pet’s routine as consistent as possible.

About: I have had the joy of sharing life with a wide variety of dogs in my time. I have lived with cats, small dogs and big dogs. I tend to prefer the bigger dogs myself, because I love their cuddles. I have also cohabitated with cats, and enjoy their cuddles and purr vibrations. I have trained all of my dogs with the positive reinforcement method. I understand that dogs love to have boundaries made clear, so that they can feel safe. I do not raise my voice with dogs, and focus on reinforcing the positive choices that they make. I am experienced with giving medications to animals, even grumpy senior cats. I am patient with all animals, reliable and responsible for all pet owners. I value having a trustworthy petsitter for my own pets, and want to offer that to others in return. I am currently available anytime for pet care. I have some hobbies, but can easily schedule around them. With my own dogs, I am very active. We go on walks daily and often do road trips to the beach. I care for pets with patience and respect for the animals needs as well as the owners requests and preferences. I am very clean and organized, and will leave any space I am in clean.

“My doodles love Kathryn! She is so good with them and will either take them for walks or over to the dog park which they thoroughly enjoy. So far she has been a godsend! Very good communications and always timely (I am tipping in cash)”

“She did great. Showed up on time, ready to walk with my anxious pooch. Could tell my dog really liked her and felt comfortable with her. Will definitely use her again!”

Jamie L.

“Jase came for a meet and greet and was awesome! My pup instantly took to her and she asked great questions. She was kind and accommodating and even walked with us in the rain. I’m happy to have found someone for regular visits.”

About: Safety is always my number one priority while pet sitting. I make sure pets are always supervised, secure, and cared for in a safe environment. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and owner guidelines to keep every pet healthy, comfortable, and protected at all times. Although I do work a part-time job, I try my best to fit pet sitting in my schedule because it’s what I love to do! Animals will always be well taken care of, I insure that your pets will be let out before I have to take off for work, making sure water is full and fresh. I will be back to love and care you’re pet in a timely manner! Although I do not offer boarding, I prefer watching animals in their owner’s home because I feel like it makes the animals more comfortable to be in a well-known environment. My biggest priority is making sure the owners have peace of mind while they are away and know that their animals are in a safe hands.

About: Hi, I’m Bailey! I’m thrilled to help care for your furry family members. With a flexible schedule and a genuine love for dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes, I can ensure your pet gets the exercise and attention they need. Let’s make some tails wag together! Im currently working on some extra schooling certifications while my husband works full time. I have all the time in the world to dedicate to your pets! I like to offer anything I can while I care for pets. Whatever they need, im there for! Extended walks, longer playtime, medication assistance, and anything in between!

“Cassandra was awesome! She arrived on time for each walk. Koda was ready to relax after his walks which is important for a husky:) I'll be asking Cassandra again when I'm not able to give Koda his daily walks.”

About: I work in healthcare as my full time job so I have knowledge of caring for humans which can be similar in some ways to caring for the furry population. I have 2 German Shepherds and a golden that I have raised since they were 8 and 9 weeks old! I am familiar with potty training and crate training. I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby! I love them as if they were my own! I am available M-Th for walks, drop ins and sittings as I work weekends. I may be able to consider certain requests with advance notice. When I’m not busy, I love to spend time with four legged friends! I have a fenced yard and live very close to a dog park. I have experience with oral medication and am willing to help train if requested.

About: I got my first pet at 18, a kitten who was from a stray in the neighborhood. I still have that cat today she is 16 and a 1 year old rescued chihuahua mix. I’ve fostered over 30 dogs and a few kittens, volunteered at our local animal shelters and worked events trying to find pets loving homes. I love caring for animals and being a person animals trust. I am a self employed person so my schedule is very flexible, I take my own dog on daily walks and can fit things in easily. My animals are the center of my world and I am always wanting them to be safe, comfortable and loved. I will do the exact same for your babies within your household boundaries. But mine will always sleep in my bed! :)

About: It’s been rough - three rainbow bridge trips in short order. I need more time before I go down that road again, but in the meantime, I will happily love your dog (or cat, or parrot, or lizard, or...?) as if s/he were my own. I have a special fondness for seniors and special needs, but I’m game for anything. And, who doesn’t like puppies and an in-the-prime-of-lifer?? Ornery, shy, suspicious, or complicated personalities happily embraced. I am patient and sensitive to the fact that some animals need lots of closeness and reassurance while others need their space. I’m willing to work to earn their trust and set appropriate boundaries to earn yours. The pet and owner and I will work together to set the terms of our relationship, and I promise to be a most excellent guardian catering to each individual’s needs. My most consistent regular obligation is a daily trip to the barn to take care of my horse, but if needed, I have alternate coverage. I try to keep my presence low profile while I’m there. I appreciate the trust that comes with visiting in someone else’s home. When you come home, it’s nice for everyone if you can barely tell I was there.

“Very responsive and sent great pics of our dog. We will definitely work with Mia again!”

About: I've always owned a cat or dog since I was 5 years old and my father has been a vet technician for 45 years. I love going on walks and making sure animals get some exercise and all the love! I do work a full time job during the week and have my own dog but weekends I'm open and free as he goes to his grandma's for a visit. I do live in an apartment so dogs are always on leash and if I were to watch an animal at my home, my dog would go to his grandma's.

About: I have had cats and dogs my whole life growing up. I currently own a rescue pit mix who is my whole world and best friend.

My family was big into dog training growing so I can work well with puppies. I also have experience with medicine as my family cat as been sick and my dog was adopted with heart worms. I have a huge heart for animals and can’t wait to meet yours! I have a part time job and a remote job that are both very flexible. I can be available at any time of the day or week.

About: I’ve loved and cared for animals my entire life, starting with the two German Shepards (Satori and Jazzy) my parents had when I was born all the way up to my two cats (Lady and Tigerlily) and dog (Clyde) who bring me joy and purpose every day. I grew up with dogs, cats, chickens and goats, learning to care, appreciate and work with animals from a young age. I’ve been professionally pet and house sitting for 4 years now and have loved every second of it. I work part time doing data analytics remote work. I set my own schedule and I will always prioritize you, your pets and your home.

About: I have trained my own dog to be a good citizen canine as well as a service animal. So I have experience teaching dogs to sit, stay, leave it lay down, as well as other commands. And hope to be able to use this training to help with your dog or puppy. Ever since I was young I've had a real affinity for animals and they're really drawn to my sweet and caring nature. I can be a bit shy at first but you won't regret giving me a chance to help your pets out. Right now my schedule's pretty open any day of the week as long as I can get to address have a driver license,I look forward to getting to know more dogs and spend time playing with them. I'm not currently working so I have as much time in the world to spend with your dog and to make sure it gets its daily exercise and other basic needs. I have unfenced yard , will always take precautions and have leash on a dog when taking it for potty breaks I do have a dog of my own he is a service dog for a living but I can always kennel his to keep your dog safe or put him in my bedroom.

About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life and love animals! I started house sitting dogs about 10 years ago in Oregon. Nova is a golden retriever and she is a pretty low key and very good with all dogs, cats and children. I have experience with both rescue dogs and anxiety ridden dogs. I love to be outdoors so your furry friend will get plenty of exercise at a place of your comfort! I am excited to care for your pet for you :) I currently work a part time job and have flexibility for most days and times of the week. I have a little girl that does most everything with me and understand if arrangements need to be made to accomodate your pet’s comfortability around children. Just let me know. :) I have a fully fenced yard and our sweet Nova (golden retriever) to keep your pet entertained and engaged. We have a pretty laid back style in the home with dogs allowed on couches and beds. They have an abundance of dog beds in a few rooms too if that is more your preference.
