About: My career is in payroll, but my heart is with dogs. I grew up with them since birth and I've fostered and adopted 3 of my own over the years. They are family! My work experience with taking care of others' pups is through dog boarding/daycare facilities and I am very comfortable handling all sizes and breeds. Thank you in advance for trusting me to take care of your dog(s) like I do my own. I am available at least 2 weekends per month for house sitting and/or drop ins for walks, potty and feeding times, and cuddles. Some weekdays I do have flexibility for drop ins if needed. I often work remote and can flex my schedule around my daytime job. I am a safe caretaker when it comes to pets, ensuring leash and fence security if applicable. I am comfortable with crating and also giving medications.


8. Madison H.
“I highly recommend Madison! From our very initial encounter, she was very kind, reliable, and went above and beyond to make sure Daisy, our golden retriever was comfortable with her. She provided me details of how the walk went which shows just how much attention she gave to our girl. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Daisy was getting great walks and was in such good hands. I’m so grateful to have found her and will absolutely be working with her again!”

About: I am able to do any pet of any size! I have been pet sitting/dog walking for 7 years now and have worked in animal resuce. Since I have worked with animals of all sizes and breeds, there is not an animal I would turn down care for. I am also great if you have a lot of pets and are looking for someone who can handle them all! I am familiar and comfortable with animals that have special needs. I have experience with behavioral issues, medications, blood glucose testing for animals with diabetes, and other special needs. I also can accommodate longer stays such as vacations or work travel! I have a lot of flexibility and a mode of transportation so I'm also open to the surrounding areas or if you live out of town. I am a full time student but have a lot of flexibility! I have multiple no class days where I am available and can do drop-ins between classes on days I have them. I am great at accommodating any needs your animals may have. I believe that all animals have unique needs and should be prioritized to make sure they are as comfortable as possible! I am very familiar with animal body language and am extremely patient/willing to work with every animals quirks. They are just like people and have unique personalities!

19. Katie M.
About: Hi! My name is Katie, and I am a college student going through the school year! I will be a freshman in college studying criminal justice. I would love to take care of animals for the months I am here. I'm the middle of 5 siblings and have multiple different pets through out the years! I started watching my animals at a young age! I had been an animals setter for a family at my old hometown for 2 years straight I was so sad to leave them when I had to leave for college. But excited to meet new animals! I have 10 years of experience with animals! Any size or type of dog, cat or any animal I love! I can help with anything you need around the house. I am a very outdoorsy person so I love going to the park, going on walks and being very playful with animals! I’m currently working part-time so I would be able to spend quality time with any animals. Also providing them with the love and care a pet deserves. I would prefer to have them in clients home for the animal to be comfortable in a familiar atmosphere, but if pet is fine in different places then k can do both!


20. Sophie F.
About: Hi!! I am a 22 year old student at MNSU looking to meet some new dogs (and cats) while away from my own! I dog-sat periodically back home and really enjoyed my time doing so. I grew up with pets of my own and now have an 8 month-old family Swiss doodle at home. and also a spunky 3 year-old indoor/outdoor cat. I love to find new walking routes and trying out new parks, and am open to caring for any breed. I also like to keep you, as the owner, well informed if anything occurs and to ease your mind. Cats are welcome too!! I am a college student but have a lot of downtime Tuesdays/Wednesdays/Fridays and on weekends. Mornings are not the best for me on Wednesdays/Fridays but I would be available later in the day. If you are curious about a specific time, you can always message me for more information. I like to go over the standard routine with owners and learn about how each dog behaves so that I can take care of them to the best of my abilities, avoiding any triggering behaviors or providing extra attention where needed.
