About: Huge animal lover! Throughout my life I've cared for dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and breeds (and some reptiles too). I currently have one cat myself. I have a pretty flexible work from home schedule. Would love to get some exercise and play time in with your pet between work meetings! I am attentive to each dog's unique needs. From walking and playing with high energy young pups, to caring for and comforting older pups, I'm happy to meet them where they're at.

About: I’ve been around and caring for dogs for 15+ years, giving me experience with a variety of personalities, sizes, and care needs. I’m also a proud dog owner to two dogs of my own, which has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and personalized care. I treat every dog like family and strive to make every appointment a safe, positive, and enjoyable experience! I work remotely full-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to accommodate dog-walking and pet-care needs throughout the week. I’m available the majority of weekends and am happy to work around your schedule whenever possible. I’ll make every effort to find a time that works for both you and your pup! I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable home environment where pets can feel relaxed and well cared for. With two dogs of my own, I’m experienced in maintaining routines, supervising interactions, and making sure each pet receives the attention and care they need. When caring for other dogs, I’ll follow their individual routines and instructions closely, including feeding, exercise, potty breaks, medications if needed, and any special care requirements. My priority is always to keep every dog safe, happy, comfortable, and treated like part of the family.
About: Hi my name is Camille and I am currently a nursing student waiting to start my first semester in 2027 looking for a fun extra side job. My dog who was 15 years old passed away last year. I had him his whole life and took care of him from a puppy to a senior. Being around animals makes me really happy and I love all dogs and cats. I have a lot of experience dog sitting, dog walking, keeping track of feeding times/potty breaks, I also have done a few cat sitting gigs for friends. I do work part time as a bartender , and i’m on a break from nursing school till 2027 so my availability is very open besides when I go to the gym, but walking dogs can be an exercise as well! I have a big backyard and a nice house for dogs to run around in. I also love to be active with animals and play with them.
“Shanley walked my dog while I was out of town and everything seemed to go really well. My dog is big, very energetic, and wary of new people, but Shanley took it in stride and approached the situation with understanding and patience. It's great that she can give my dog some exercise and much-needed outside time while I'm away. I definitely plan on using Shanley's services more in the future!”


About: I’ve cared for dogs for over 10 years. I also grew up in rural Oklahoma on a farm with many other animals, including dogs and cats. I love dogs and always worry when leaving my dog with anyone else. My philosophy is to treat someone else’s pet the way I would want my own pet to be treated and cared for. I will provide attention, pets, snuggles, walks playtime, and treats. Dogs are welcome to sleep next to me and my little dog and snuggle on the couch with us. I work full-time at an 8 to 5 type of job. Two days per week I go into the office for part of the day. My schedule is very flexible and I can work from home on different days when needed. I am off weekends and holidays. I will make sure your pet is safe is safe, cared for and loved. I take my own dog on walks to Pena Adobe and One Lake and around my gated apartment complex. My little dog is a white Maltipoo who is very sweet and friendly. Your dog will be safe and cared for with me. I can ensure regular feeding schedules, potty breaks and walks.
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, hamsters, turtles, and fish, and I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I have experience caring for my own dogs and cats and understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or a quiet companion, I’ll make sure they get the attention and care they need. I will treat your pets as if they were my own and do everything I can to make their time with me enjoyable and stress-free. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I am not working but I have a 20 month baby who loves walk, and he is used to big dogs and he loves animals so in the morning he will be my companion in the strollers but in the afternoon after my husband gets home I can walk your dog with no baby. I will sleep with your pet if it is used to, I have a big back hard and can walk all over the house, depends on your routine I will walk your pet as necessary
About: I have nearly 10 years of experience primarily caring for dogs, ranging from Maltese to Malamutes – no dog is too big or too small to receive my love. My passion involves playing, cuddling, and providing ample affection to every pet I meet. Additionally, I've successfully trained several headstrong pets, achieving remarkable results. If your pet needs training or positive exposure therapy, I'm here to help. My own Shitzu poodle mix pup, Maybach, is a 8-year-old sweetheart whom I've trained extensively due to his exceptional intelligence. We both enjoy running in the yard and going on long walks. I'm excited to meet your pet and share loads of fun together! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I prioritize giving my own the attention, exercise, and care they need, whether through long walks, play sessions, or training time. My flexible schedule allows me to adapt to each of their needs, ensuring consistent, loving care throughout the week. My pets are on a twice a day feeding regiments, they get fed at 8:30-9am and then 6-6:30 pm. I follow however the client instructs me on how to feed them, I don’t mind just kibble or toppers beyond toppers to get them fed.
About: My name is Destiny and I grew up caring for large and small dogs and cats. I have hands-on experience raising puppies and kittens from birth through adulthood. As an adult, I continue to care for both cats and dogs, including adopted shelter cats and my own Labrador Retriever and Standard Poodle. Both of my dogs are neutered, gentle and affectionate. My Standard Poodle loves to run and play and can be wonderfully bouncy, but he's also surprisingly nurturing and likes to make sure everyone is okay. My Labrador is basically Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh—a lovely potato who is particularly drawn to wee, scrappy dogs. I actively study canine behavior and learning. I train and participate in dog sports including obedience, scent work/nose work, agility, Barn Hunt and NASDA. I'm comfortable observing canine body language, following established training and management routines, providing enrichment, and adapting my approach to the individual dog. Most importantly, I genuinely enjoy getting to know animals as individuals. I don't expect every dog or cat to immediately love me, and I don't force interaction. I believe comprehensive care starts with paying attention to what makes an animal feel safe, comfortable and understood. I work from home with a flexible schedule and control over my own hours, which gives me plenty of time to incorporate walks, play, enrichment, meals, potty breaks and companionship throughout the day. Our household is unusually quiet and relaxed. There are no children in the home, and my neighborhood is a peaceful residential area that's well suited to walks and downtime. Pets staying with me have opportunities for activity and engagement, but also plenty of time and space to settle, nap and simply relax. Because I'm home much of the day, pet care fits naturally into my routine rather than having to be squeezed in around a long commute or rigid work schedule. I believe pet care starts with understanding the *individual* animal. I take time to learn each pet's normal routine, temperament, preferences, training cues, feeding needs and anything that may make them uncomfortable or stressed. My approach is calm, patient and attentive. I don't force interactions, and I pay close attention to body language and changes in behavior. I follow owners' established routines and management instructions carefully because consistency can make being away from home much easier for a pet. My home is clean, quiet, child-free and low-stress, in a peaceful residential neighborhood. I want visiting pets to have a comfortable place where they can play and engage when they want to, but can also settle and rest without constant activity, noise or disruption. When caring for pets in their own homes, I bring the same approach: respect the animal's familiar environment, follow the household's routines carefully, communicate reliably with the owner, and leave things exactly as I found them.
About: I took two years of Animal science where I learned how to administer medications and injections, perform pet CPR and First Aid, Restraints on all pets including livestock, and more! My daily/ weekly activity consists of being with family, playing with mine and others pets, and working at my part time job! I am free 24/7 for all pet care besides boarding! First, I would talk about it with the pet owners and see what the animal’s needs are. I would work with the already implemented schedule of the pet to ensure the pet is in routine.
About: I have years of animal shelter experience, so I have been trained to interact with animals of all sorts of temperaments. I've been an animal love my whole life and am usually the first person my friends think to call when they go out of town to care for their furry children (: I've had at least 1 dog in my life from the time I was 8- so my daily routine has always consisted of including a little pal to care for and spend quality time with. I treat any animal under my care the way they should be treated- like a family member who requires belly rubs, treats, and high pitched conversation as if their life depends on it (; In all seriousness I treat all animals with all the TLC they deserve.

This is a very dog friendly community. Regular potty breaks and walks are the norm for my house.
“A wonderful update from Kristin, seemed well experienced so I trusted her to handle my reactive dog and she did fantastically. Knew just what to do when an issue came about and everyone was safe and secure. I will 100% book with Kristin again. Side note: the fact that my evil cat let her pet him is mind blowing in itself and would book her again just for that fact alone. Thank you so much Kristin for truly caring about my pups. They’ll see you again soon!”
