About: I’ve always had a deep love and respect for animals. From a young age, I’ve felt a special connection with all creatures, big and small. This passion has driven me to not only understand their needs but to also dedicate myself to ensuring they receive the best possible care. Whether it’s through daily walks, providing enrichment activities, or simply offering a safe and loving environment, I’m committed to giving animals the attention and compassion they deserve. I believe that every animal, just like every person, has unique needs and a personality that should be nurtured. I’m here to make sure your furry, scaly, or feathered friends are in the best hands possible. I work from home and can provide services on a flexible schedule from day and/or night daycare, walks, potty breaks and training. I also have reliable transportation for pets. I have a fenced yard, large inside area and designed space for animal care. All animals have space to enjoy and feel safe and loved.

About: I’ve always had dogs and cats in the house. I have experience caring for both from birth to end of life. I can give medications, hand feed, clean incontinence/accidents, scoop and clean litter boxes, administer subcutaneous IV fluids, walk, play, and anything your baby may need. I will care for them as if they are my own and would love to spoil them. My schedule is semi-flexible as I work from home. I’m available afternoons and evenings. Feel free to reach out if a different time is needed and I will see what I can do. I am offering drop in visits and walking for right now. I will be respectful of your property and sensitive and patient with your baby.

About: I've taken care of pups since my daughter brought home our first baby, Cookie. We trained her to give her paw, sit, lay, and to kiss at "kiss" command. It's the cutest thing ever. She has been the Queen of the house ever since and then came along, Cinamon which is Cookie's daughter. They are best friends! Cookie had pups a while ago and we held her paw during birth and cared for her babies until they left us to our family members. Cookie is now considered a Senior but I always find ways to accommodate her needs so she can keep being the queen! We take constant walks around our neighborhood and also hang out in the big backyard. I'm currently not working; therefore, I have plenty of times to board and do drop in visits. I leave out occasionally to do grocery shopping, doctor appointments, and/or church services. I do not have a fenced yard but we do have secured long leashes to the soil which makes them feel like they are freely roaming around. We prefer to crate overnight but if your pup cannot do training for special reasons, we can accommodate. We currently have two small pups, a Yorkie and her daughter. They can be timid at first and will bark until they come down and get over the first couple minutes. We can put our babies away in separate rooms if needed be.

Steven is fantastic. I had a family emergency and the person who normally walked Tully was unavailable. Contacted Steve and he came right away for a meet and greet. My dog is a rescue so he doesn’t always do well with strangers but he was so happy with Steve right away. Steve asked if he could take Tully on a short introductory walk to make sure they were a good match which made me much more comfortable. Definitely would recommend Steve! Amazing with both families and fur babies!

About: As a pet owner myself, of an energetic poodle, I understand the importance of maintaining open communication while your pet is in the care of another person. I work 100% remotely, which allows me the flexibility to cuddle, play, and care for your pet. I have a set schedule for walks but can also accommodate as needed. Pets are not allowed in my bedroom or bathroom in my home but are welcome to the rest of the home. They’ll also have their own room to safely sleep, play or relax.

About: I have been taking care of dogs for a long time. In college, I would dog sit for professors and family friends. This included dogs of various breeds, sizes, and ages with different needs. My roommates after college had dogs and I helped to take care of them and even train them. I have had my dog for 3 years now, since he was just a little puppy. I am at work from 7am - 3pm during the week (Monday - Friday), so I am available on weekends and evenings throughout the week. I live in an apartment, so I am currently only able to care for pets in their home for dog sitting services. I prefer meet & greets before accepting jobs to make sure it is a good fit.

About: I've been around animals in general my entire life! I've had many pets and taken care of others pets in the past. I have a lot of experience in dealing with animals, as well as a high success rate when getting new animals to warm up to me. I'm a part time student although most of my classes are around 9 to 12 A.M. Past these times I am free to look after animals. For Cats: I have an entire basement for them to roam around in! I also have a spacious room with beds and food/treats. I have the most experience with cats as my first pet was a cat. For Dogs: I have a fenced yard in the back for dogs to play. This also allows them to use the bathroom as need be. I also have plenty of dog toys to play and keep your pet active. I also have had a dog of my own and can set playdates if that is a request!

About: With over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, I provide more than just walks — I provide safe, loving, and attentive care tailored to every pup’s unique personality and needs. My background includes fostering dogs, working in a professional dog boarding facility, volunteering in animal shelters, and gaining experience in an animal hospital setting, which has given me the skills to confidently care for dogs of all breeds, temperaments, and energy levels. As a dedicated fur mom myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I treat every dog like family and focus on creating a comfortable, stress-free, and fun experience while you’re away. Whether your pup needs extra patience, structured care, medication support, playtime, or simply lots of love and attention, I’m committed to making them feel safe, happy, and cared for every step of the way. I pride myself on reliability, communication, and building genuine bonds with both pets and owners. Your dog’s well-being will always be my top priority. My schedule is structured to make sure every dog in my care gets the time, attention, exercise, and consistency they deserve. I currently work full-time Monday through Thursday from 4 PM–12 AM, so on those days I’m available for morning and noon visits, walks, drop-ins, feedings, potty breaks, and quality playtime before heading to work. Friday through Sunday, I have open availability and can accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and nighttime care as needed. I always try to be flexible and communicate clearly with pet parents so I can provide the best care possible for each dog’s routine and individual needs. With my years of hands-on experience working with dogs in boarding facilities, shelters, fostering, and animal hospitals, I understand how important reliability, patience, and personalized care are for both pets and owners. When caring for pets in their homes, I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I understand that every dog is different, so I tailor my care to each pet’s specific needs, routine, and personality. Whether it’s walks, feeding schedules, playtime, medication, cuddles, or giving extra patience to anxious pets, I make sure your fur baby receives the same love and attention they’re used to at home. During walks and pet sitting visits, I focus on safety, communication, and making sure your pet is happy, exercised, and well cared for every step of the way.

Carly was absolutely fantastic caring for our dog, Kongo, while we were away on vacation. She was consistently timely, punctual, responsible, and extremely responsive throughout the entire process. Most importantly, Kongo absolutely loved her, which gave us tremendous peace of mind while traveling. What truly stood out was Carly’s professionalism and calm demeanor when she unexpectedly had to deal with a malfunctioning smoke alarm at our home during our trip. She handled the situation confidently and without hesitation, acting as though it was no inconvenience at all — despite it being something far beyond what should normally be expected of a dog walker. Knowing Carly was caring for Kongo made our vacation far more relaxing and enjoyable. We are incredibly grateful for her reliability, kindness, and dedication. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for trustworthy and exceptional pet care. Five stars all the way!

Just finished our first week of dog walking with Kristal and she’s been terrific. I was nervous because it took some time for my dog to get acclimated with my previous walker so I thought it would take some time with Kristal as well but we hit it off from the bat. We did a meet and greet beforehand with my Coco being apprehensive but when walk day came there were no issues. I’ve already booked Kristal for the next 3 weeks for dog walking. Thankful to have found a replacement that my dog was comfortable with.
