About: I’ve been taking care of small to large dogs for about six years now, caring for up to 3 dogs at a time. I’m an absolute dog lover and look forward to working with you and your pup(s)! I will diligently follow any specific requests you have regarding the love and care of your fur babies! I will love and take care of them like I do my own girl, Winnie! I am available Friday at 4pm through Sunday for walking, drop ins, and boarding. I am a teacher, so weekdays are dependent on the needs of your pups but I am happy to accommodate whatever I can during the school year! I have a 35 lb lab mix at home who is dog friendly. I will treat your dog as if they are my own and will adhere to whatever guidelines and rules you provide! There are no kids in my non-smoking home.

About: I’ve loved dogs ever since I was seven years old and have cared for them at every stage of life—from playful puppies to adopted rescues. Training and spending time with dogs is something I truly enjoy, and I hope to become a trainer one day. Right now, I’m a proud dog mom and also volunteer as a dog walker at my local shelter, where I get to work with pups of all sizes and personalities. I'm currently at home full time and my only schedule revolves around my puppy. I'm very flexible and willing to work with what you need. I'm trained in using several types of leads, positive reinforcement, building trust, and treating every dog like one of my own. My goal is to make you feel as comfortable as possible leaving your dog in my care.

Emma did great with my dog, understanding that he needed a little time to warm up to a stranger (he needed me to go along with them for the first time) and his quirks. Would book with her again!

About: I have dog-walked for neighbors dogs of all ages, such as walk, fed, and played with them while owners were away. I care for my own dogs as well. I am currently a full time student this fall 2025, pursuing my Master’s in Social Work. As of now, I am only available to work weekends and evenings, but coming beginning of the year, I will have more availability to provide dog-walking and home visits. I verify if clients home have a fenced in yard for dogs to play. I verify the food and water and amount of it from owners. For dog walking, I take up to 30 minutes to an hour walks. If asked for more, will do so!

About: At our home we can provide exceptional care for your pet. My husband and I really enjoy the many different breeds and personalities of our guests. We will give them the best care that they're used to, so you won't have to worry while you are away from them. I will send you daily texts, pictures and updates so you can see that your dog is being well-cared for. We live in a single-family home with a fenced-in yard and have a pretty relaxed style in taking care of your pet. Please take a moment to read my reviews and you will see how our former "guests" enjoyed their stay at our home. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry friend in the future.

About: If you give me the opportunity to care for your pet, you'll feel at ease knowing I'll take care of it as if it were my own. I'll give it all the love and attention it needs to make you feel happy. Right now I'd like to dedicate myself solely to animals and their care. I have every day of the week free to dedicate myself to them. For me, all animals deserve the same treatment and care. I always give them my best, no matter the occasion. I will always give you all my love, attention and you will never lack my care.

I’m so happy I found Kun! My puppy, Joy, absolutely loves him & his wife. His communication was excellent. We did a meet and greet, and the following day he took Joy for a wonderful walk to which I received pictures and videos while I was working. It’s such a relief to know Joy is in good hands while I’m at work. I will be booking with Kun again!

About: When your dogs are with me, I'd be pleased to snap pictures or films for you! Their water dish will never run out. Depending on your distance and the cost and location, I can come pick the animal and drop it off. Meet-and-greets are only welcome at my house. I'm limited to bathing. I am capable of giving small to medium-sized pets a bath. Large pets can only take baths in the spring and summer. If it's necessary, I can help with bathing for ten or more dollars. Frequently, it varies based on my schedule and what I'm doing. Do not hesitate to ask me; we can resolve the issue together :) ! Please take note before scheduling, I do require a photo of current vaccinations, including rabies. To help me keep in mind , please remember to bring a list of your dog's characteristics. Kindly provide me with your emergency contact details. Please enter the details for your Rover card. Please provide me with any information I require in order to provide them with the best care possible and ensure their happiness while staying with me. Safety is always my top priority, and the animals will constantly be supervise. It's ideal if I start with an animal daycare before I make a reservation with you so that I can see how things function with your pet. I'm looking forward to speak with you!

About: I’ve been a dog mom for more than half my life. I was lucky enough to be with my first baby, Binx, for 12 years. He was also diabetic from 7 y/o so I’m well versed in medication administration. My current baby, Winnie, is 4 y/o and completely spoiled in the best way. I’d love the opportunity to care for your baby, big or small, young or old and treat them as my own. I am currently completely available and happy to help. For my own dog Winnie, we walk twice daily and try for the park weekly, weather permitting. I’d love to do the same for your baby. I’m always up for walks, play, feeding, training reinforcement, medication administration or just some good ol snuggles! I’ll be happy to let your dog out in your fenced yard for potty and play, take them for walks around the neighborhood or play at the dog park. I am CPR and first aid certified, can administer any kind of medication and even give a simple bath and blow dry if needed.

About: Hi! I’m Andrea, your fur baby’s new bestie! I’ve taken care of various types of pets (hamsters, bunnies, dogs and cats) since I was 12. In addition to caring for my own fur babies, I’ve cared for pets of family members, friends and even clients I also babysat and house-sat for. I am responsible, treat all fur babies as if they were my own, and know just how to keep them happy, healthy and entertained while you’re away! I work from home, allowing for a lot of time and flexibility for multiple walks, meals and play breaks throughout the day, both during the week and over the weekend. I am very responsible and communicative, will ask thorough questions upfront about any routines, medicines and care tips and share regular updates with you throughout my visits.

About: Hi my name is Marisol, I’ve interacted with so many dogs and various breeds over the years. Dogs are such pure creatures and I enjoy being around them and playing with them. I’ve had my own dogs before and truly enjoy seeing dogs in a loving home. I am currently in college, and all my classes are night classes. A morning and afternoon schedule will be the best fit for me to walk and do drop-ins for your beautiful pups! I will respect your home as if it were mine and keep your pet happy and comfortable, while keeping them entertained and/or relaxed in their own home.

About: Dogs have always been part of my life. Big, small, and everything in between. Growing up with pups taught me how to love, care for, and understand their unique personalities. I love them all and can’t wait to meet yours! 😀 I work remotely so I'm home constantly. I regularly monitor my pets and make sure they are comfortable. I'm free on most weekdays and weekends. When caring for pets, whether in my own home or in your home home, I prioritize creating a safe and comfortable atmosphere. I ensure regular exercise and playtime tailored to their specific needs and preferences, fostering both physical and mental enrichment. Additionally, I will strictly follow any dietary requirements. Constant monitoring of their health and behavior allows for prompt action in case of any emergencies, and I maintain open communication with the pet owner, providing regular updates and pictures.
