“Jodi was extremely friendly, kind, and thorough in meeting my dog for the first time. She had great questions about temperament, leash walking experience, and our preferences etc. I really appreciated that Jodi shared some of her own experience with her dog currently as well. She is a prompt and clear communicator and punctual. I highly recommend her.”

About: Hey, I’m Diana! I’ve loved animals since I was a kid and grew up with them my whole life. I’ve worked as a vet assistant for 2 years, and have bottle fed multiple litters of kittens so I know how to take care of pets and make sure they’re safe and happy. I’ll treat them like my own and make sure they’re having a good time! :) I am self employed with a flexible schedule, so my availability can vary week to week—but I usually have lots of open time! Feel free to reach out and I’ll do my best to fit you in! I treat every animal like I do my own—with love, patience, and lots of attention. I follow your instructions and make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for in their own space.
“So glad I chose Andrew to walk my dog for the week I was out of town on vacation! I was slightly hesitant being that this was my first time using Rover but Andrew really surpassed all of my expectations! He was super personable, responsive, and seemed like he genuinely cared about dogs.. which made me feel really good, of course. Andrew went out of his way two different times (mishap/miscommunication with Bruno's dog sitter) to ensure Bruno's walked Thanks for your flexibility, Andrew!”

About: I know quite a bit about most animals. I've been in the pet industry for a long time. Even owning my own pet stores for over 18+ years. After being in the pet industry and owning my own pet stores, I have knowledge of helping train puppies all the way to senior care. My customers would ask me how to do this or that and 90% of the time what I suggested to them worked. Of course there are the stubborn animals that just can't be trained or might have an issue that is underlying that needs to be diagnosed. Reading senior dogs is key to success. If the dog is tired don't push it. If the senior dog needs a nice gently massage, then provide it. Realizing what each individual animal needs is the key to success. I am taking a break from my job. I was working 70+ hours a week and traveling 6 states and Western Canada. Now I want to hang out a bit, BUT still want to be around as many fur babies I can see. My current life has some room to add some 4 legged beautiful kids into my routine. My care of your fur baby depends on your request. If you want a feeding and then walking and or play time, that is what you will get. If you want, feeding, a quick walk and then hang out/snuggle time, that is what you will get. If you want me to feel, clean the litter box and play and brush, that is what you will get. Sometimes things change. I've helped friends where I show up to feed there pups and was supposed to walk and play and hang for a while, and they dogs were not interested in playing. They just wanted to get fed, go for the potty walk and then go to bed. All pets are fluid, noting is set in stone. Pets are like people, they can have moods just like us.

About: I have experience with pets of all types and sizes! I grew up with two adorable corgis and many small animals. I started caring for animals at 13 years old when I pet-sat for many of my neighbor's dogs or cats. With extensive experience in animal shelters and veterinary clinics since then, I've honed my skills to cater to pets with diverse needs. Whether it's providing specialized medical attention, soothing pets with high-stress levels, or maintaining important training routines for high-energy dogs, my priority is the safety and comfort of every animal in my care. Today, I take pride in offering professional pet care services to our local community, emphasizing personalized attention tailored to each pet's unique requirements. Beyond routine tasks, I aim to make lasting connections with both pets and their owners. Recognizing the individuality of each animal, I approach my work with meticulous and compassionate care to enhance their overall quality of life. I have recently graduated with my Bachelors in Animal Biology and I am working flexible hours over the summer. With an open schedule, I can dedicate time to caring for your pet! Morning, afternoon, or evening walks and check-ins are the perfect way to spend my days in the beautiful weather! Planning the perfect weekend away? My perfect weekend is caring for your pet so you can relax on your trip. When caring for pets in a client's home I make sure to keep the pet's area tidy and I am respectful of the home and the pet I am taking care of.
