About: I have genuine love for animals, being reliable, and possessing strong communication skills. I have special skills such as training puppies, providing senior care, and baby sitting kids of all ages. Patience, attentiveness, and a deep understanding of animal behavior are my strengths I am going to school full time but have many hours available to care for pets and am available daily even if it’s just for a couple hours I prefer to walk pets more than caring for them at a home but I don’t mind watching them at clients homes. I make sure pets have a balanced and nutritious diet tailored to their specific needs, get regular exercise, have comfortable space and spending quality time with your pets. They thrive on social interaction, love, and attention.

About: My very first job was starting a dog walking business with my sister and best friend when I was 13! I would walk up to two dogs at a time, feed them their meals, spend time with them while their owners were away, and play with them! I now have two of my own dogs that I adore and love spending time with. Throughout the years, my love for dogs and animals has only grown! I am currently not employed anywhere else, so my availability is open. I am available Monday through Friday and the times are very flexible, as well as weekends as needed. At my house, we have a fenced in yard, so my dogs roam freely. While on walks, they use a harness and a leash. I am comfortable with putting on all harnesses and prefer to walk a dog with a leash, but if the dog is trained well enough to not need one, I am comfortable with that as well.

About: I grew up on a farm around all sorts of animals and have learned how to take care of them with my family. I love all kinds of animals and have always had an easy time with animals. I work a hybrid schedule, so I am very frequently home and can help pet parents out with their pets needs. My schedule is pretty flexible. I live in a two story condo, with a basement. My home is pet friendly and pets are welcome on furniture and even on the bed.

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals my entire life and truly can’t imagine a home without them. I’ve cared for large and small dog breeds, cats, rabbits, hamsters, gerbils, and even more unique pets like squirrels and a tarantula! Because of that, I’m comfortable with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and care needs. I understand that every pet is different — some need extra playtime and stimulation, while others just want calm companionship and routine. I’m experienced with feeding schedules, administering basic medications, cleaning habitats/litter boxes, leash walking, and providing lots of love and attention. I treat every pet as if they’re my own and prioritize safety, patience, and consistency. Your pet’s comfort and happiness will always come first with me 🤍 I currently work Monday–Thursday from 9am–5pm. At this time, I am offering walks only while I’m training for a marathon, so my availability is a bit limited. Available walk times: • Tuesday–Thursday: After 5:30pm • Friday & Saturday: Mornings and early afternoons If you’re looking for a time outside of these windows, please feel free to message me! I may still be able to accommodate depending on my schedule. At this time, I’m unable to offer in-home boarding. I have two large cats who definitely run this household, and they wouldn’t be too thrilled about sharing their space. Cats’ world — we just live in it! For that reason, I’m currently focusing on walks only. I appreciate your understanding!

About: I’ve taken care of two Chihuahuas for the last 15 years, from just a few weeks old into being senior dogs. I am familiar with administering meds if needed. I loved every step of the way with them, but unfortunately they have passed on. I travel for work so I am not looking for a full-time commitment but I miss having animals in my home. Dogs and cats are welcome! I love to spoil them and have a fully fenced in back yard, as well. I would love to care for your loved one like my own! I travel for work at times, but when I’m home I have a flexible schedule and truly enjoy having pets around. After recently losing two dogs who were both 15, I miss the companionship and routine that pets bring to a home. Pet care fits well into my schedule when I’m not traveling, and I’m careful to only accept bookings that align with my availability so pets always get consistent attention, care, and companionship. I value calm routines, quality time, and making sure pets feel comfortable and secure while they’re with me. I provide a calm, safe, and comfortable environment for pets in my home, including a fully fenced backyard for supervised outdoor time. I don’t have any other animals, so pets receive my full attention. I follow each pet’s normal routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest, and I’m happy to accommodate special instructions. Pets have constant access to fresh food and water, plenty of affection, and a clean, quiet home.

About: I have been taking care of pets for about 10 years professionally,but have had pets my entire life. I have experience with dogs,cats, and domesticated farm animals! I am happy to help with any and all aspects of pet care! I work as a nanny during the week but I am available to provide care before and after my nanny jobs. I am happy to stay overnight with pets to make them as comfortable as possible while their owners are away. I prefer to care for animals at the clients home. I find that the animals are much more comfortable that way and able to stick to their regular routine!
