“Cameron watched our 2 kitties, Alfie and Joey, when we went to Maine. She did visits morning and night. She did a great job and sent plenty of updates and pictures. The kitties warmed right up to her. It gave us peace of mind knowing they were well taken care of. She is someone who loves cats and can be trusted.”

About: I have worked in a vets office and grooming salon so I have plenty of experience with Petcare and grooming. I am a dog lover and have had dogs for 20 years. I have also taken care of our family's dog through all walks of life- you can trust me with your puppy or senior pup! I currently work a 9-5, however I come home for lunch at noon every day to walk my dog. If your dog is staying with me during the work week, it is not a problem at all for them to join us on the walk. After work we spend an hour+ at the dog park down the road. Must be able to last 4-5 hours without an accident. Let me know if that is an issue and we can see if there's a solution! I live in a quiet apartment with a few other dog friends around. I have lots of bones and toys in my apartment, and a gated dog park in the complex! I can assure you that your pet will be happy, safe, and calm staying with me.
About: I am a reliable and experienced dog walker/sitter who loves spending time with furry friends. I aim to ensure that each dog gets plenty of exercise, fresh air, and attention during their walks. My goal is to always show patience, kindness, and attentiveness to the needs of each individual dog. You can trust that your beloved pups are in good hands with me as their dog walker and/or sitter. I have been watching pups for over 7 years and find so much joy in creating connections with fur babies of all kinds. I have two dogs of my own at home, who are my pride & joy, and promise to take care of yours just as I do mine. In addition to loving on fur babies, I work full time in an office Monday - Friday! I am available after 4:30pm every evening and available all weekends. I provide nutritious food, regular exercise, grooming, and affection. Create a safe and comfortable environment, train and socialize, and prioritize their health and well-being above all else.
About: Growing up on a farm my whole life, I've developed a deep love for being outside and caring for animals. There's something incredibly fulfilling about spending time with nature and ensuring that animals are happy and healthy. This passion has been a core part of who I am and continues to bring me joy every day. Pet care fits into my daily routine by taking my dog in the morning with a walk and feeding time, followed by play sessions and check-ins throughout the day. In the afternoons, I take the dog for another walk and spend time grooming or giving them any needed care. Evenings are dedicated to one last walk and ensuring they're settled in comfortably for the night. I prioritize safety and trust by maintaining a clean, secure environment for pets in both my home and my clients' homes. I follow strict protocols to ensure pets are always supervised, properly fed, and given plenty of exercise and affection (with of course safety on walks). I also will communicate regularly with clients to keep them updated and address any concerns.
About: Wife, mom and nini who would love to help you care for your fur baby! I will shower them with affection and love them like my own! I am employed from home Monday through Friday 8:30 am to 5 pm. I would love the opportunity to get out of the house and walk or drop by and visit your fur baby outside of those hours! I offer in home drop ins or dog walking when needed! I work from home so would love to get out of the house and help you take care of your babies!
About: I have had cats and dogs my entire life. My current pack consists of 6 Great Danes, 2 hounds, 1 golden doodle and 1 cat. I am a nurse with a passion for animals. I am a nurse with a flexible schedule. I strive to schedule on days I’m off so I’m able to provide your fur baby with my utmost attention. I have a fenced in yard with a dog door so your pup can come in and out as they please. I also have an automatic water bowl that refills with ice cold water. I have a basement that is pet friendly. Stocked with a sofa, pet beds and blankets and an emotional support human to hang out with if you have a shyer pet that may not like all the activity in the house.
“My cat Fig loved her time with Anj, and I loved knowing she was getting lots of playtime, pets, and her food and water taken care of. Anj sent pictures each time she visited Fig which gave me peace of mind seeing how happy she was, even while I was away for a week.”

About: I love dogs. Big or small they are smart, intuitive, loyal and good judges of character. We will do different activities depending on your dog's personality, temperament, and age. Wether we go for a walk or play your loved one will get that one-on-one attention they so desperately need. If you need someone to wear out that puppy and make sure they get that good exercise, I'm your girl. If your dog is older and just needs a good pampering, I got you. I am available early mornings, brief afternoons, and late nights 7 days a week. My availability short notice will vary based on how close the pick up and drop off are. I live next to a dog park! And I know lots of other parks and good neighborhoods with nice shady sidewalks for your dog and I to explore. I am willing to share GPS location so you always know where your pet might be while with me.
