“Vanessa was wonderful to work with! She was easy to communicate with and incredibly accommodating, especially with my last-minute request. We had to make a few adjustments due to the weather, but communication was seamless and she was very flexible throughout the process. I really appreciated how easy she made everything, and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and responsive sitter/walker. Thanks again, Vanessa! 🐾😊”

About: Lifelong Animal Lover with Advanced Care Experience I grew up surrounded by both dogs and cats, and my life has always revolved around animal companionship. I don't just love pets; I understand them deeply. Because I specialize in dog walking and drop-in visits (up to 3 times a day), my focus is entirely on providing structured, safe, and attentive care right in your pet's familiar environment. Expert Medical & Senior Pet Care I have extensive, hands-on experience managing complex care for pets of all life stages, including disabled senior animals. If your pet has specialized needs, they are in highly capable hands. I am fully confident and experienced with: Administering oral medications, pill hiding, and precise schedules. Managing advanced medical treatments, including injectables and subcutaneous (Sub-Q) fluids. Assisting pets with mobility aids, harnesses, and specialized diets. Managing senior pet hygiene, including diaper changes and cleanup. Understanding Behavioral Quirks & Big Personalities As a proud owner of two large bully breeds—one who manages severe anxiety and reactivity, and another a rescue recovering from past neglect—I understand that not every dog is a textbook "easy" walker. I am trained in patience, hyper-vigilant environmental awareness, and reading subtle animal body language to keep your reactive, fearful, or strong pup safe on walks. My home is also run by three incredible cats ranging from 3 to 10 years old (including an aloof kitty, a social butterfly, and a sweet disabled cat requiring extra patience). Having previously rehabilitated a rescue cat who became disabled with age, I know exactly how to respect a feline's boundaries while ensuring their needs are met. Whether your cat wants a high-energy play session, gentle grooming, or just a quiet human presence to keep them company, I adapt entirely to their mood. Because I work from home full-time, my schedule is highly flexible and reliable. I am available throughout the day to accommodate your pet's specific routine, offering dog walking and drop-in visits anywhere from 1 to 3 times a day. Here is how my lifestyle benefits you and your pet: Punctual & Consistent Timing: Since I am not tied to a rigid office commute, I can visit your pet at their preferred times for meals, medication, or potty breaks. Mid-Day Break Specialists: I am readily available for lunch-time walks to break up the day for high-energy dogs, puppies, or senior pets who cannot hold it for long. Rapid Emergency Response: Working locally from home means I am never far away. If your pet has a sudden change in schedule or an urgent need, I can adapt quickly. Your peace of mind is my top priority. I treat every animal with the same meticulous care, patience, and fierce love that I give to my own unique fur family. Here is what I bring to every walk or drop-in visit: Frequent Photo & Video Updates: My camera roll is already completely full of my own pets. You can expect detailed, visual updates during every single visit so you know your pet is thriving. Proactive Dog Safety: I bring hyper-vigilant environmental awareness, patience, and deep knowledge of subtle animal body language to every walk. This ensures your reactive, fearful, or strong pup stays completely safe. Customized Cat Care: I know exactly how to respect a feline's boundaries while ensuring their needs are met. Whether your cat wants a high-energy play session, gentle grooming, or just a quiet human presence, I adapt entirely to their mood.

About: I have cared for my friend’s dogs while they are away many times. I enjoy providing animals with enrichment and making sure they get ample exercise. I am careful around new dogs to let them show me what kind of care they prefer, and strive to make my time with them as enjoyable as possible for both of us. I have full time evening employment. I am available to care for pets Sunday-Thursday 9am to 2pm (meaning my latest available visit would start at 1:30pm for an 30 min visit), and All day Fridays and Saturdays! I have lots of experience with sneaky animals who love eating things they are not supposed to eat or hiding in places they should not be. I am diligent with putting away foodstuffs and making sure doors/ screens are shut. Please let me know if your pet has these behaviors so I can be prepared before the visit.

About: Hi, I am Mailyn! I am a 25 year old girl, living her best life. I am a mom to 2 boys cats, Cheeto and Milo! However, my experience is not limited to cats only. I grew up with dogs, birds, fish, rabbits, and more! I am many useful skills when it comes to taking care of a pet and always know what to do because I am no stranger to medical emergencies/concerns, safety protocols, and unexpected moments of stress. I would love and be honored to care your pets! I am available evenings and weekends! This is expected to change soon! I am between transitions with my job right no. I will change my schedule once I have a concrete plan. I do not offer onboarding. However, at a guest home I take care of their pets with guidance from the pet parent and the pet’s need. I make sure safety is a top priority and that there is communication with the pet’s parents. We all consider our pets as family, every pet parent deserves the reassurance and peace of mind that their loved pet is safe.

“I have been so pleased with Kodiak walking my dog on a regular basis. I get great feedback and pictures of of Barbie out on her walk. It’s been a relief to find someone so responsible and caring. I would not hesitate to recommend Kodiak to anyone who needs a trusted dog walker or sitter!”

About: I’ve spent 7+ years caring for pets of all kinds, taking the time to learn each one’s routine, quirks, and comfort level so they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to help with puppies, seniors, and pets who need a little extra care. I work a full-time job from 10–5 on weekdays, so I schedule pet care around my work hours. I’m available early mornings, evenings, and weekends for walks, playtime, or visits. When I’m with pets, I give them my full attention and make sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well-cared-for, even with my regular work schedule. I provide attentive, patient care whether I’m at your home or mine. In your home, I follow your pet’s routine closely—feeding, playtime, walks, litter box care, and any special instructions—to keep them comfortable and stress-free. If pets are in my home, I make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and part of the family, giving plenty of attention, cuddles, and play. I always prioritize their happiness, health, and comfort.

About: Dogs & cats have been in almost every household I've been a part of since childhood. Since 2019, I've had the honor of caring for my dog, Apollo. He's a sweetheart who is also reactive to other animals, so I've learned a lot about managing his energy and am comfortable working with other animals who might have some challenging behavioral traits. I’m outgoing and energetic, and enjoy taking dogs on long walks. I also enjoy playtime with dogs and cats, and am happy to play fetch or dangle a string to the animal’s content. Also a sucker for cuddle time! I understand the importance of consistency in animal routines and am happy to follow whatever rules & habits you have in place for your pet. I’ve cared for animals with special needs (including special diets and medications), as well as issues hearing/seeing. I work as a freelance writer & editor, so my schedule is generally quite flexible for walks and drop-in visits. I look forward to meeting your lovely animals!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 16 years old, and we always had a dog or two in the house when I was growing up. This taught me responsibility and love for all dogs! I’ve taken care of many puppies, trained my own dogs from birth, and more. I tend to gravitate towards dogs and dogs tend to gravitate towards me. In my care, your dog will receive endless amounts of love and playtime between myself and my dogs, responsible care, a yard and frequent potty/food breaks, and a stress free experience for both you and your dog! I’m currently working full-time, but I am able to come home on lunch breaks Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday to interact with the dogs. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays, off Saturdays and Sundays. My schedule is pretty flexible so you can bet your dog will be taken care of! I have a fenced in back and front yard, and two sweet, trained, cuddly labs for your fur friend to play with (they love playing)! If I need to be away at any time, I can easily crate your dog next to my crate trained dogs. My dogs also enjoy the off leash dog parks, so if you are comfortable with it, I would take your dog to them for extra playtime! I feed my dogs twice a day, but can adjust to your dogs feeding schedule. I take my dogs out to potty about every 4 hours, but again, can adjust to your dogs potty needs. If in your home, your rules will be followed and I will only accept as long as I’m able to meet ALL of your needs. My goal is to provide a stress free home/experience for any fur friends needed!

About: I have taken care of dog since I was young and have taken care of cats as well. I am in love with all animals and can’t wait to meet yours! I am currently open for any fur baby at all times of the week. My schedule is usually pretty open and I will continue to keep it that way to cater to your fur baby. I come from a loving background and believe all living creatures should be treated with kindness and love. I will continue to do my part on loving all creature until I am too old to lol.

“She is thee best with Topanga and training her how to jog with her! Something that this young 2 years old need while I get beat up in corporate world. Providing a better life for the both of us. Also made me comfortable that she have American bulldogs too!”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life and I am super passionate about animals. I have experienced both owning and sitting animals of all ages (especially puppies) and I would love to get to know your fuzzy friends!😊 I am a student, but currently on break for the summer so I am very flexible! I am a runner so long walks don’t bother me at all. Animals are one of my passions so I will be giving your fur baby as much attention as it needs. Whether that is a walk, a food and water refill, some pets or a simple potty break, I will be there!

About: I am an experienced house sitter, and I love helping animals feel safe and comfortable! I have a lot of energy to give to pets that need it. I work four days a week, and then have three day weekends. On the days that I work, I will spend all of the other time with the dogs I'm taking care of, and on days where I don't work, I might be out of the house for short appointments, but most of my time is spent at home. I am very detail-oriented, so I will make sure I follow instructions and schedules accurately. I respect the privacy of homeowners, and will gladly communicate with the client as much as desired.
