About: I am trained in Fear-Free and worked at an animal shelter for 3 years. You can rely on me to give medicine and provide typical daily care such as ear cleaning and nail trimming if desired. In addition, I will walk your pet as needed and provide socialization and enrichment. I am a mom of 2 dogs and 4 cats in addition to my own children. My furbabies are always taken care of as soon as I wake in the morning and multiple times throughout the day. I have high expectations for the care of my own pets that I will carry over into the care of any pets in my care. I will provide the care and love you want for your pet while they are being cared for by me. They will receive top-notch love and oversight in their own environment so that they can feel comfortable and at ease.

About: Hi! My name is Olivia, and I’ve been caring for dogs and animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up around pets gave me a natural love for animals, and over the years I’ve helped care for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I have experience with walking, feeding, playtime, administering medications, and maintaining each pet’s normal routine to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. What sets me apart is the genuine love and care I give every animal. I treat every pet like family and truly enjoy spending time with them, whether that means long walks, playing fetch, or simply keeping them company in their home. I currently have a very open and flexible schedule while I wait to begin my career as an Emergency Medicine Physician Assistant in late August. Because of this, I’m able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets throughout the day. My flexible availability allows me to accommodate walks, drop-ins, overnight stays, and last-minute scheduling needs whenever possible. I love staying active, so spending time outdoors walking and caring for dogs is something I genuinely enjoy during this transition period before starting work. Providing a safe, loving, and trustworthy environment for pets is my top priority. I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet in someone else’s care, and I always strive to create a calm, dependable, and comfortable experience for both pets and owners. I live in a pet-friendly environment with plenty of safe areas for walks and outdoor time, and I carefully follow each owner’s home instructions regarding routines, medications, feeding schedules, and special needs. I’m attentive, responsible, and communicative, and I’ll always make sure your pet receives the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away. 🐾

Emily was great, very quick to respond to messages and even sent us a picture of our pup when she was walking. We will definitely be using her again for any of our dog walking needs.

About: As an animal lovers, I promise to treat your pet like my own. They’ll be in good hands with me for the duration of their stay. My dog has a strict routine as I believe taking care of pers works better with a specific schedule. He wakes up, gets fed, gets taken out, is given treats, among everything else at the same time. Every day. I work from home and that makes it easy to adjust our schedule. My dog gets taken out early in the morning and fed. After he then gets taken back out later that morning. In addition, we spend some time outside in the afternoon during lunch. In the evening, he’s fed and taken back out for a bit. Later at night, he’s taken out once more and given a dental treat before bed time.

About: I love animals of all shapes and sizes. I love all breeds. I enjoy getting dogs to play and do tricks for treats. My family and I enjoy making your pet family. Sleeping cuddling and lots of attention is what they get while here. Most dogs don't want to leave when they come. I have several repeat dogs and they get out of the car and run to the house. Where they have an abundance of toys bones and beds to relax on. I believe the dog should be on your schedule so I do my best with that. Huge yard provides safe exercise time. Sunbathing an added bonus. I will even bathe your pup upon request. So don't stress and let me take care of the rest. I currently do this part time. Around working as a waitress part time. I'm available every 4 to 6 hours for pet care. I love this job. I have crates and plenty of space to separate if needed. I have filtered water. Treats of all types. I have toys for an aggressive chewer to a softy.

Wesley was fantastic with our pups! Working 12hr shifts it can be challenging to find someone to check on and walk my two mini poodles, so I am very thankful Wesley was able to make time for them! Wesley also took the time amidst a busy schedule to meet the fur family which really helped😊🫶🙌

About: I’ve had over 15 years of experience taking care of dogs, and I am comfortable with all breeds and sizes. I love giving pets and snuggles, receiving kisses, and taking them out to the park and walks. I currently work 4 days a week, so I am available to board and dog sit, do drop ins, administer meds, dog walks, etc. I am flexible with my work schedule. I have a tri level townhome with plenty of space and a very large fenced in park 10 steps in front of my home. I have two doodles (both spayed and neutered) who are friendly…but if your pet prefers to be alone, I have plenty of space to separate and I have gates as well. Your rules are my rules. If you crate, I will crate. If you dont allow your pet on furniture, same goes for me. Etc. Your baby will be safe and loved with me and my family! I have a 11 and 13 yo who will also love on and play with your dog too :)

About: I’ve had animals growing up ever since I was little. I’ve grown up with 4 dogs in the household and currently have my own. I absolutely adore all animals and would love to take care of your beloved animal I work and go to school daily but during the summer, I can definitely be more free. I always take breaks to walk the dogs around the neighborhood. I always be adequate to feed them and give them water throughout the day at their assigned eating times! If the dog is crate, trained to sleep in the crate at night, they’re welcome to sleep in the crate or if the owner wants, they can sleep in the bed with me. I do not mind.

About: My family has had pets all during my childhood, so from a very young age I developed a love for animals. I easily bond with all types of animals, and truly enjoy being around them and caring for them. I love to play games inside, but also time out doors is very important, especially for dogs. I love to go on walks, go to parks, and just do anything active. But, its also great to sit inside and relax. I'm available on short notice and I'm really flexible! Perfect for your summer vacations! I work from home full time so I have a very flexible schedule to take care of pets at my home or work remotely and care for them in your home or other locations! I care for pets by making sure they are comfortable, have everything they need, and are never in distress or danger. I will treat them like a pet of the family whether in your home or mine!

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life and caring for them has been like second nature to me. I hold a degree in Animal Science and currently work with a veterinary practice which has given me a strong foundation in animal health and behavior. Whether is playtime, walks, cuddles, or administering meds, I’m confident in providing the same level of love and attention that I give my own pets. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I currently work part time from Monday-Wednesday 8am-5pm. I’m available after work on those days and then anytime Thursday-Sunday. I’m pretty flexible and can help with whatever is needed. Just let me know! In your home, I care for your pets by keeping their routines as consistent as possible. I’m attentive to their behavior and comfort and I always make sure water bowls are fresh, litter boxes are clean, and that they get plenty of love and exercise. I also treat your home with respect, leaving things neat and tidy so you can return worry free. I take pride in making everything go smoothly and stress free.
