About: Hi there! I'm a reliable and caring dog lover, excited to offer dog walking and pet sitting services in the area. As a young, responsible person, I bring a lot of energy and enthusiasm to my work. I enjoy making sure every dog feels happy, comfortable, and loved, whether it's on a fun walk or during an overnight stay. I’m committed to giving pet parents peace of mind, knowing their furry family members are in safe and caring hands. Let’s chat about how I can help keep your pup happy and healthy! Hi! I’m in the process of joining the military and am offering dog walking services to make some extra cash before heading off to basic training. With plenty of energy and a love for dogs, I’m ready to keep your pup active and happy. I’m experienced, reliable, and will make sure your furry friend gets the exercise and attention they need. Let’s keep those tails wagging! I have always had at least one dog in the house growing up! I don’t know life without a fur baby and with that, I know how to navigate living with dogs. It comes natural at this point!

“Lisa is an experienced dog owner who loves every dog she sees. She decided to start dog sitting in her home to help out members of her community who need a safe place for their dog while they need to be away. She works remotely on Mondays and Fridays so she is in her home most of each week. She will love your fur baby as much as you do and take excellent care of them!”

10. Eric A.
About: I have owned and cared for my own pets, and cared for my friends pets when they leave out of town. I’ll walk them, feed them, and give medications if need be. I do work a full time time job, but can be a little flexible just a little communication and can work things out for a daily or weekly routine. Play with your pet, go on walks to tire them out, give some good belly rubs, and of course feed them and bathe them if possible.
11. Nancy A.
“As a dog owner for most of her life Nancy knows the responsibilities that comes with caring for a fur child. She loves to go on long walks with dogs for exercise, she's great at giving them food, water, and medicine as needed daily, and she is good at training dogs as most of the dogs she's owned were rescued as puppies. Nancy is a responsible mature woman who will care for your home while you are away as if it were her own, you can trust her to follow your written care instructions, take care of your dog and communicate with you while you are away through text.”
12. Ashley O.
“Ashley took the best care of our fur babies! I’m super picky about who I let watch my dogs and I really appreciate her going above and beyond to love on them and put as at ease. I would 100% recommend her!!”
13. Corinne J.
About: I have taken care of cats, dogs, reptiles, birds and all kinds of farm animals. I have experience administering medication, redressing wounds and taking care of elderly animals. I’d love to meet your pet! I am home almost all hours of the day. I am able to be around for constant care if needed. If your pet requires exercise I love going on walks and hikes. I have a fully fenced yard for your pets to play in. I am able to crate your animal if needed. I have two cats that enjoy being around other pets.
14. Jarred R.
“I have known Jarred going on 10 years. I’ve watched Jarred grown into a very responsible, caring and honest young man. I have entrusted my home and pets (4 -dogs and 2-cats) to Jarred’s care on many occasions while the family and I went on vacation weeks at a time. Jarred is very loving and understanding toward pets and people. Jarred has a loving black lab himself named Chena. Jarred moved away a few years ago from Florida to Alaska, and I believe he named his dog after Chena Hot Springs. It has taken awhile to find a suitable replacement; however, no one has measured up to Jarred! Whoever entrusts Jarred with their pets will not be disappointed!”
