About: I’ve had dogs and cats all my life. I walk, feed, and love my pets everyday of the week. I have two ferrets as well as dogs. I have watched family and friends pets when they have gone on vacation and had other responsibilities. I’m very responsible and a big animal lover! I have school monday- friday but am always available after and on weekends! I can pretty much walk every 0-2 hours (unless in school) and feed when it’s necessary. I have a small piece of walking land on top of a big neighborhood that is pet friendly and safe! They provide treats and trash bags to pick up dog feces.

It really made our time more enjoyable knowing our babies were so well cared for. Our dogs love Terri, we would recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible pet lover and caretaker.”

16. Riley B.
About: I have walked my neighbors and family friends dogs in the past and grew up around pets! I love to play with them and make sure they are happy and taken care of! I'm a current college student, so my schedule is pretty flexible! I only have class two days a week and I am available most weekends and evenings! I will make sure they are comfortable in their own home by gently introducing myself to them! I will make sure they do not get overheated or too tired on walks and during playtime and ensure they have cuddles when they want and time alone when they need!
17. Kelsey S.
About: I have always been an animal lover and I’ve had dogs and other animals almost my entire life. I’ve personally had and cared for dogs of all sizes from a tiny teacup poodle (6lbs) to a huge labradane (125lbs) as well as all ages of dogs newborn-16 yo! I’m currently a student at Florida Southern College, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I am also an Army ROTC cadet at Florida Southern, so walking my dogs and yours is a great way for me to stay active! Safety is always my #1 priority, I will always lookout for the wellbeing of your dog based on their specific needs. Each dog is unique and has their own routine which is important for me to follow to the best of my ability.
