About: I have 5+ years of experience as the primary caretaker and trainer for my dog Pumpkin (pictured in my profile!). I’ve also regularly cared for about five dogs belonging to friends and family. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I have experience giving medication to dogs, as my own pup had medical needs as a puppy. I’m passionate about keeping pets happy, healthy, and safe while you’re away! I’m currently available full-time, with a super flexible schedule to care for your pets whenever you need. I’m free 24/7 this summer and happy to accommodate your pet’s routine! I’ll be starting college in the fall but plan to continue offering care with plenty of availability. I have a fully closed-in fenced yard for safe outdoor play, and I’m always attentive to your pet’s comfort and needs. I’m experienced with crating, administering medications, and following special routines. When caring for pets in your home, I’m respectful, reliable, and focused on keeping things clean, calm, and secure. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priority!
“Sheila has been walking my dog Violet since July. She is trustworthy, reliable, flexible and caring. She has lots of expirience with dogs and can handle walking a dog that doesn't have the best manners on a leash! My dog Violet seems to really enjoy her walks with Sheila! She has been able to fit in a walk for Violet every single time I have asked, even if I have contacted last minute due to a scheduling conflict on my end. Sheila is very detail oriented and observant and will notice and alert you if something seems off/different about your dog. I can't say enough good things about Sheila!”
“Bethany is amazing! She takes such good care of our pup German Shepard, Albus. We get the cutest updates and photos on their adventures every walk. She's a great dog walker, and overall a great person. Highly recommend!”
“Kenneth is the absolute best. Bandito is always so so excited to see him. He takes Bandito on long walks and is always so good at updating us on how he is doing. We can always count on him!”
“Rosie does very well with my friendly but reserved older husky but also with my wild and crazy 2-yr-old foster dog. Two very different types! Looks like she can deal with most anything.”
About: I occasionally help my friends to walk dogs and play with them. Since I own two cats, they are afraid of dogs. I can only do drop-in visit or dog walks. I work from home and schedule is flexible. Occasionally noon or urgent meetings come up, otherwise I’m flexible to accommodate your schedule and needs to take care your fur babies! As a pet owner and home owner, I know how I wish others respect and care my own pets and home. Nothing more needs to be said, I’ll treat yours as mine!
About: Animal lover since birth! I have taken care of dogs, cats, frogs, rabbits, turtles, fish, lizards, and hamsters ever since I was 6 years old. I treat ever animal with love and compassion as if they were my own. Special skills include senior animal care. I would be able to spend quality time with your fur-baby! I am able to take your pet out as many times as they needed during the morning/afternoon/night. I live in a house with a huge yard for pets to go to the bathroom, play, etc. Just down the street is a dog park that I love to go to! For over nights - I allow the dogs to sleep in my room so they don’t get lonely. I have food/water bowls and a dog bed (fits medium breeds), however, if your dog likes their own things then please feel free to bring them 😊
About: I’ve lived with dogs and cats my whole life. I currently have three Portuguese Water Dogs. I train and handle them in multiple dog sports such as agility and dock diving. I am semi retired after selling my business a year ago. Not one to sit still for too long, I think pet caregiving is a great avenue to channel my energy. My schedule is very flexible so I can work this in. I am very safety conscious. At my home we have a fully fenced yard. When out walking, I am always aware of surroundings and what might trigger a pet. I aim to be proactive and in control at all times
About: I’ve had em all! Dogs, Cats, Lizards, Turtles, Fish, Goats... My family has always kinda been drawn to animals, so we’ve pretty much always had (at least) a cat or a dog throughout my life. And people have noticed that I get on well with just about any dog or cat or whatever else, because my friends and neighbors have, more often than not, called on me for their pet-sitting needs. I’ve pretty much been doing this since I was 10 years old, so I generally know what I’m doing. I have a flexible schedule, and am okay with traveling a fair distance. My only limitation is that I cannot board dogs at my own house. However, as I said, I am flexible and can travel as needed. I am doing this as my job, and while school is out, I am mostly free, so I can devote time to your pet’s care. I care about animals, and I understand that they can be traumatized by being separated from their family. I try to be a calm and reassuring force in their world. Their needs are paramount, and I am willing to adjust my schedule to accommodate them. I am trustworthy and will respect your household as a guest. Any special requests you have, I will do my best to accommodate.
