About: I treat every dog as if they were my own—with patience, affection, and plenty of playtime! My experience with both young pups and older dogs means I know how to adapt to their unique personalities and physical needs. Whether your pet needs gentle care, lots of activity, or just some calm companionship, I’ve got it covered. I’m punctual, responsive, and committed to making sure your dog feels safe and loved while you’re away. I work a hybrid schedule, so I'm usually home on Mondays and Fridays, giving me flexibility to care for pets during those days. I’m also free all day Saturday and available Sunday mornings before 12pm. I live in a clean, pet-friendly house with plenty of space for dogs to relax and play. I have a three-year-old Bichon Frise who is super friendly and loves having a companion around—he’s gentle, playful, and gets along well with other dogs. Cleanliness and safety are top priorities in my home. I vacuum every day, mop twice a week, and wipe down counters and chairs weekly to maintain a fresh and hygienic environment.
“Donald is a lifesaver. I gave him a crazy scenario on short notice and he came through. He was kind, funny, and gave my pups a great walk on such a chilly night. They were in great hands and I couldn't be more appreciative. Thank you!”
“If you are looking for a dog walker Caitlyn is the one! She is attentive, on time, professional and just amazing! She takes a load off while I work to come by take care of my lil golden doodle!”
“Anna did a great job walking our dog while we were away on vacation. Despite the snow and freezing temperatures, she walked her for the full 30 minutes twice a day every day. She was very flexible when I asked her to pick the dog up at a different location and communicated a bunch of times to update me on how things were going. I highly recommend using Anna.”

About: I love all different types of animals, I've been living with them my whole life. Most of my pets are rescues from abusive homes and I did the best to be as loving as possible to them and provide them with all the care they need. For dog walking I am as careful as I can be to ensure nothing goes wrong and try to steer clear of the animals triggers (if they have any). For dog boarding I have 2 dogs, but they are the sweetest and usually don't mind other dogs, most of the time I will be with your pet(s) in the kitchen or living room because my room is too small, unless it's a small dog. Thank you and I hope you consider me, I promise to do the best I can for you and your pet. I am currently only doing online classes with no job so my schedule is pretty flexible. Weekdays work best for me since I like to relax a bit on weekends. I make sure that all of my animals are fed regularly and have water, as well as being taken outside for some exercise and sun.

About: What sets me apart is a lifetime of hands-on experience—I’ve had numerous dogs and pets since I was 6 years old. I also have a gift for working with animals as they respond very well to me. I’m great with everything from playful puppies to senior pets who need extra care. I’m calm, reliable, and quick to tune into each animal’s unique needs. Whether it’s basic training, giving meds, or just keeping them happy and safe, I’ve got it covered in spades. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely enjoy it—it never feels like a chore. I’m organized and flexible, so I make time daily for walks, feeding, play, and check-ins. I structure my schedule around the needs of the pets I’m caring for, whether it’s early morning potty breaks, afternoon walks, or evening cuddles. I’m also used to balancing other responsibilities like school and work full-time, so I know how to stay on top of things and give each pet the attention they deserve. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I follow all provided instructions closely—whether it’s feeding schedules, walk times, medications, or specific quirks or preferences. I make sure the home stays clean and secure, and I treat the space with total respect, just like a guest should. I also spend quality time with the pets—whether that’s playing, exercising, or just offering companionship.
