About: Hi! My name is Hayward, and caring for dogs has been a part of my everyday life for years. I currently own multiple dogs, including American Pit Bull Terriers and French Bulldogs, so I’m comfortable with different breeds, sizes, and personalities. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply needs someone patient and dependable to check in while you’re away, I’ll treat them like one of my own. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I’ll provide updates, photos, and plenty of attention to give you peace of mind. I’m experienced with energetic dogs, strong pullers, and multi-dog households. My goal is to make every walk and every visit safe, fun, and stress-free while giving your dog the love and attention they deserve. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! I currently have flexible availability throughout the week and am available for dog walks and drop-in visits during the day, evenings, and weekends. I can accommodate morning, midday, afternoon, and evening visits depending on your pet’s needs. I’m reliable, flexible, and committed to giving every pet the attention and care they deserve. I treat every pet as if they were my own. During each visit, I make sure they have fresh water, food if requested, bathroom breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I follow each owner’s routine and instructions carefully to help pets feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. Safety is always my top priority, and I’ll provide photo and text updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.

About: Growing up. I had five dogs. Four of them lived up to 14 and 15 years of age. One of them still lives with my sister and it’s currently nine years old. All my life I’ve had experience with dogs and even cared for them up until their senior stage. Even though my dogs are no longer with me, my love for pets still lives on. I recently just finished College, and work less days in my job. So I’m free a lot of the time now, which will help me provide an organized routine for pets. Whether that’s is feeding them, walking them, and spending time with them. When I had my dogs, I would take them outside to my backyard and stay with them until they were finished, and then they were able to walk up the stairs and go back inside. When caring for a pet in your home, I will be sure to do the same and take precautionary measures that are needed to ensure that your fur baby is safe. As well as follow any rules instructed.

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 11 years old and currently have seven cats and a Yorkie of my own, so caring for pets has truly been a lifelong part of my everyday life. Having a multi-pet household has given me extensive hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs with different personalities, temperaments, energy levels, and routines. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, litter box care, maintaining daily routines, and giving each pet the individual attention they need. I especially understand cats and how different their personalities can be—from the super affectionate and playful ones to the shy or independent ones who need a little more patience and space to feel comfortable. As a pet parent myself, I know how important it is to feel confident about who you’re leaving your pets with. I’ll treat every pet in my care with the same love, patience, attention, and respect I give my own, and I’m always happy to provide plenty of photos and updates while you’re away! :) Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine as a pet parent myself. I’m available all day on Saturdays and Sundays, making weekends especially flexible for walks, drop-ins, house sitting, or other pet care needs. During the week, I’m typically available in the evenings starting around 6 PM. I can also be flexible outside of my normal availability as needed, so feel free to reach out and I’ll do my best to accommodate your pet’s schedule and care needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I carefully follow each pet parent’s instructions, including feeding schedules, walking routines, household rules, and any special preferences your pet may have. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both their space and their pet’s established routine, and I make sure doors, gates, leashes, and other potential escape points are secure. For pets staying with me, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable environment and giving them time to adjust at their own pace. Because I have pets of my own, I take introductions and interactions seriously and would never force unfamiliar animals together. I’m attentive to behavior and body language and will always prioritize what makes each pet feel safe and comfortable.

About: I’ve cared for puppies and elderly dogs. I have comforted, cleaned and cared for dogs of all sizes. I loved taking my family dogs to the dog park or trail. I currently work part time so I can take your dog to their favorite place. Also care for your dog if they need company during a rainy or noisy day (fireworks). IYKYK I start by scanning the premises to take preventative measures for any hazards. I will also make sure the dog is within my sight at all times.

About: I've cherished the company of pets throughout my entire life, ranging from the tiniest Shih Tzu to the majestic Siberian Huskies. My active lifestyle perfectly aligns with my passion for taking dogs on invigorating walks and spending countless hours engaged in joyful play with them. My experience extends beyond my own pets, as I've diligently cared for animals belonging to my uncles, even tending to my neighbor's cherished cats. I've also gone the extra mile to care for Guinea Pigs on behalf of my friends. My affinity for animals knows no bounds, and I genuinely cherish and adore each and every one of them. I’m currently attending school and working part-time so I am mostly only free on the weekends. Most of the time with a heads up I can make availability any day of the week. I live on a completely fenced property and I even have a doggy door for our furry friends. I know a few good doggy parks nearby that I can take our friends to in my car. I will always put the safety of our friendly little buddies first!

About: I’ve had dogs in my life for over 20 years, from childhood through adulthood, and have personally cared for five dogs over that time. Being around dogs has always been a big part of my life, so I understand the attention, patience, exercise, and love that goes into making sure they’re happy and comfortable. My current dog, Reyna, is a loving 4-year-old Micro Bully/Frenchie mix with plenty of personality. Caring for her has given me even more hands-on experience with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, exercise, and understanding a dog’s individual needs and behaviors. I’m comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and routines, and I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pet. Whether I’m stopping in for a visit, going for a walk, or spending more time with them while you’re away, I’ll treat your pet with the same patience, attention, and care I give my own. I work remotely and have a very flexible daily schedule, which makes it easy for me to fit pet care into my routine. Even on days when I have meetings scheduled, I have plenty of flexibility throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and spending quality time with your pets. I do train a couple of evenings during the week, but it shouldn’t interfere with providing consistent and reliable care. Working from home gives me the ability to plan around each pet’s normal routine rather than expecting them to adjust to mine. Whether your pet needs attention during the workday, a midday walk, or care while you’re away, I can be flexible and make sure they’re getting the time and attention they need. My home is already set up with pets in mind. My cats have plenty of comfortable spaces throughout the apartment, including a cat tower, a window perch, and different areas where they can relax or have their own space. My dog also has access to a dog park within my apartment complex, which makes regular exercise, playtime, and outdoor breaks easy and convenient. My dog and cats are all comfortable around each other and live together peacefully. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I understand how important it is to keep them comfortable by maintaining the routine and environment they’re already familiar with. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, litter care, and any other routines you have in place. Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m caring for them in their own home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, cared for, and get plenty of attention while you’re away.

About: I cared for my own pet into her senior years, so I deeply understand the love and responsibility that pets deserve. Since then, I’ve been caring for the pets of family and friends and am excited to offer support to more pet parents. I know every pet has unique needs and personalities, and I look forward to giving them comfort while you’re away. I work from home for most of the week and my office is pet friendly so I have flexibility in my weekly routine to allow time for pet care. I focus on providing a safe and comfortable space for pets to feel at home. I like to engage pets in activities for interactive play and stimulation as well as rest and cuddles when they want it.

About: Started my pet care career in 2018 at a local dog walking/training company in NJ. Ever since then I've gained the knowledge, experience, and most importantly the trust from dogs and their owners. I am excited to continue improving my skills in pet care. I love to go on long walks already so being able to share that with a dog or 2 makes it even better. It has such a great impact on my physical and mental health. I would typically try to have a few walks throughout the week. I have a medium size dog crate as part of the on-boarding training to help them learn boundaries and create a safe place for everyone. Depending on the environment and tendencies of the pup, I always keep an eye out for anything they could eat off the floor or make sure they don't chew on anything they shouldn't.

About: Since the age of 15, I’ve been caring for my neighbors’ dogs, building a lifelong passion for animals. Over the years, I’ve worked in several professional pet care facilities, gaining invaluable experience. However, I realized I wanted to provide the same level of personalized care I’d expect for my own pets. That’s why I decided to set out on my own, offering compassionate, tailored care for every furry friend I meet. I currently have an open schedule and can accommodate most requests. I only will take one owners pets at a time in my home so please keep this in mind if you need boarding services. I have a large fenced yard with 3 sides blocked by buildings giving dogs a safe secure place to exercise and relax. I also live near Branchbrook park for longer walks. When taking care of pets in your home my goal is be as non intrusive and respectful as possible. I'm happy to follow any requested procedures to ensure your full comfort.

I just want to say how wonderful Anna was with my very anxious pup, Brooks. I had asked if she could help me take him for a few hours while I was moving to a new apartment knowing Brooks would not do well with the chaos. She was very patient with him, allowed him to take his time getting to the park he was familiar with and provided me with photos and updates every hour to ensure that I knew how he was doing. I really appreciate all your help, Anna, and look forward to working with you again in the future!
