About: Hi! My name is Julie and animals have always been a huge part of my life. I previously worked as an Adoption Manager at Anderson Animal Shelter, where I gained hands-on experience working with dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, temperaments, and backgrounds. Through my work, I developed a strong understanding of animal behavior, daily care routines, and how to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I also worked as a manager at Pet Supplies Plus, where I further expanded my knowledge of pet care, nutrition, supplies, and the unique needs of different animals. Between both roles, I’ve spent years helping pet owners and caring for animals in professional settings. In addition, I have experience administering medications and caring for animals with special needs, both professionally and in my personal life. Whether your pet needs extra patience, medical support, or just lots of attention and affection, I’m confident providing compassionate care tailored to their individual needs. I’ve owned and cared for many different types of dogs over the years, from small breeds to large breeds, and I’m comfortable handling pets with varying energy levels and personalities. I also have experience caring for cats and understand the importance of respecting their unique routines and comfort levels. My goal is always to make pets feel happy, secure, and cared for while giving owners peace of mind knowing their animals are in experienced and loving hands. I treat every pet like family and would love the opportunity to care for yours! Im currently a stay at home mom so I have plenty of time to play with your pups. I have open availability most weekends and can stop by after 3PM on weekdays. I give my German shepherd walks every day and lots of play time to help relieve some of his energy. Depending on you pets needs I can accommodate them any way you see fit.

About: I have had animals of all walks of life since I was a child. Dogs, cats, horses, goats, chickens, ducks, fish, bunnies and even a donkey. Animals have naturally been drawn to me and I have often been the only one to help an animal. I show all animals unconditional love and care. I have nursed senior dogs until they need to cross the rainbow bridge. I am available for early morning, afternoon and evening help. I work from home and have the flexibility to meet the needs of a pet in my care. I am not able to care for animals in my apartment. All services will be on site for the client and their pet. I will adhere to the clients wishes for their pet once we establish a relationship.

About: I have 5 years of animal experience with a variety of different animals. I have experience with dogs of all ages in a variety of sizes. My schedule very flexible so I can schedule animal care around any other appointments. I will be unavailable on Sunday mornings until 2pm and Monday afternoons from 1pm to 3pm. I will be staying in the client's home so your pets will be in a familiar and relaxed environment with whatever toys and beds are provided.

“Christina walked my 3 dogs daily while I was away. My dogs were very hesitant to walk at first and she was calm, patient and gentle with them to gain their trust. Her communication skills were excellent and she gave me frequent updates. I would hire her again to take care of my dogs.”

“Thank you, Jada. She helped on short notice and made our dog feel comfortable. Thank you again and we'll definitely use her again.”

“We starting using Lori about two weeks ago and she has been great. Chelsea, our dog, loves her. The weather had been rainy windy and cold lately but she is still taking great care of her and it truly puts my mind at ease while working knowing Chelsea is in good reliable hands. ”

About: I have had dogs since I was 10 , and I've always had a passion for them. When I was younger, I would read books about every type of dog I could get my hands on. I'll be good for your pets because I'm able to adjust to every individual need for your animals. I've watched dogs for friends and family for many years while they were on vacation. I have spent the last few years working in commercial pet care at various daycare and boarding facilities. This includes dogs, cats, birds and various small rodents. I'm willing to do whatever it takes to make your dogs, and yourself as comfortable as possible. I'm happy to go on frequent walks of any duration or difficulty. I used to take one of my own dogs hiking so I'm willing and able to do whatever they are used to. I'm also happy to be at your home as frequently as you'd prefer, and I'd love to maintain open communication with you while you are away. I have also recently acquired a PACCC certification. I’m freelancing at the moment so I have an open schedule at the moment. I am available Mondays, and Wednesday - Saturday. Sundays are also available upon request. I always prefer to meet with pet parents so I can be aware of any potential safety problems in the home and when walking dogs I like to bring a secondary slip leash to use so that in case anything happens to the first leash/collar, your pet is unable to slip away from me.

“Deanne provided daily drop-in dog walking for my 1 year old golden puppy, Daisy. Daisy is full of energy and can be a bit much but she always seemed happy when I got home from work after having a walk with Deanne. Deanne was always flexible with hours, often accomodating change in dog walking times as needed. She always sent photos of Daisy during or after the walks. I would highly recommend Deanne for her services!!”

About: I’ve grown up with two dogs—one small and one large—so I’m comfortable handling all sizes. I enjoy caring for high-energy dogs just as much as calm, cuddly ones. Whether it’s playtime or downtime, I adapt to each dog’s personality and needs. I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I do not have a job, I am looking but am currently unemployed and starting school again in August! I will have plenty of time to visit your pups this summer and even during school:) I have a fenced backyard with lots of space and trees for your dog to run around!! I have a Big German Shepard who is friendly and loves to play with other dogs outside!!

“Rachel was awesome and so sweet. My Roxy loved her from the start and didn't even bark at her (which Roxy normally does to any new person that comes to our house) but she was calm and just wanted to sniff her. Rachel was prompt and overall awesome. We will definitely be rebooking for our recurring needs! I also appreciated Rachels last minute availability :)”

About: Hi! I’m an animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. While I don’t currently have a dog of my own, I was a proud dog parent for 13 years to my lab/pit bull mix, Sara, who taught me patience, consistency, and just how deep the human–dog bond can be. When I’m dog sitting, I intentionally keep my schedule flexible and avoid making fixed plans. This allows me to prioritize the pets in my care, provide consistent supervision, and adjust my day around their needs for walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship. My routine is centered on making sure each dog receives attentive, reliable care throughout the day. I provide a safe, calm, and structured environment while following each pet’s normal routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. Pets have supervised access to my fenced yard and plenty of attention indoors. I closely monitor behavior and well-being and communicate with owners as needed to ensure pets feel comfortable and cared for at all times.

About: It’s been a while since I offered services, but I’m getting back into it and would love to care for your babies! I have always been a dog owner - if I could rescue every dog in the world I would! Instead, I'll gladly help take care of other peoples' angels and call it a day. My sweet 11 year old dog loves to play and gets along with most everyone. She would love to make new friends and play with your pooch while you're away! I work from home so will always be around. I work from home so am always around - your dog will not be left alone! I have one dog and she enjoys to play, too! I have a yard that is partially fenced, so I will take your pup on walks or only be outside with them leashed. I take safety seriously!

About: I grew up with a sweet smooth collie and helped take care of her throughout my childhood. These days I take care of friends and families dogs while they go on vacation or just need a quick sitter for the day/night. I also have a pet chinchilla, Cheaches, that I take care of everyday :) I'm a elementary teacher, so my availability during the summer is very open. I plan to be home full time most days but things do come up. If I need to be away I will always prioritize coming back to care for the pets. I'm very comfortable with all dogs no matter the size or breed. I have handled a variety of dogs from timid to major explorers. Any instructions given to me I will happily follow. I have always had a easy time connecting with dogs! They are truly mans best friend and I understand just how much they mean to their families :)
