Dog Walking Handy

“You can tell Catherine really loves dogs! She took such good care of my Georgia girl. Taking her on long walkies and even wiping her down afterwards to get all the snow and dirt off. We look forward to future walkies!”

“Sara did a great job, especially on short notice. She picked up Piper on time and too her for a nice long walk - even reported how many times she peed and pooped!! Very satisfied.”

“Alyssa has been amazing! Always on time and always providing detailed notes, and lots of photos as well during her walks with my family’s 2 dogs. She has gone above and beyond in so many ways…we could not be any happier! Thank you, Alyssa!!!”

About: Hi! I’m Samantha, a lifelong animal lover and proud pet parent of 13 years. For over a decade, I have cared for my own pets and have also had the pleasure of pet sitting annually for four wonderful families. Whether it is walks, playtime, or feeding, I treat every animal like my own. I am available during 12:00 PM-1:00 PM most weekdays for a quick visit and after 5:00 PM. I am available most weekends for all hours. I personally do not do dog/cat sitting in my own home. I do have a lovely 1 year old mini Schnauzer named Suki and had a beloved mini Schnauzer named Layla for 9 years!

“Brittney helped me again with a last minute dog walking! She was prompt and spent the full time with my pup and she came home tired & happy from her walk :)”

About: Hi! I’m Michelle, and animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve always had rescue dogs and cats, and caring for them has been one of the greatest joys in my life. I’ve raised and cared for several of my own rescues. I’ve also fostered and occasionally foster failed before ultimately adopting. Through those experiences I’ve cared for pets with very different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’ve worked with animals ranging from tiny kittens to gentle giants like Great Pyrenees. I’m a dependable, detail-oriented person who understands that every pet has their own routine. Whether your pet needs a long walk, playtime, cuddles, or simply someone to keep them company while you’re away, I’ll do my best to make them feel comfortable and loved. Communication is important to me, so you can expect regular updates and photos while your pet is in my care. My goal is for you to have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is being treated like one of my own. Spending time with animals is one of my favorite parts of the week. I keep my schedule organized so I can provide reliable, dependable care. I’m available for morning and evening visits during the workweek, as well as weekends, and I’ll always communicate clearly if I have any scheduling limitations. I believe pets are happiest when they can stick to their normal routine, especially while their family is away. In your home, I’ll follow your pet’s schedule as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide.

About: I have been around and loved dogs for my entire life. One of our family dogs had two litters while I was in high school and I helped take care of and raise the puppies. I also frequently pet-sat for neighbors and friends. Last year my wife and I adopted a puppy from Puerto Rico who we adore. I look forward to giving your pets the care and love they deserve! I do freelance work as a musician and dancer, so I have a fairly unpredictable schedule. Currently I am available on weekdays from 8 AM to 10 PM but I can be available on some weekends. I am happy to play with your dogs in their home or yard, to work on training as needed (our dog has been in training courses for around six months), or to do whatever else your dog will enjoy! I also enjoy walks and am happy to take your dog around the neighborhood or to nearby parks.

About: I’ve grown up having dogs of all different sizes and breeds. I have a passion for animals of all kinds. Friends and family tend to call on me and my daughter for help when it comes to needing a pet sitter. I am surrounded by animals in my daily life. I have 1 large dog and 2 outdoor kitties. They get plenty of love, playtime plus food and water of course. On top of that I work at a local groomer as a dog bather and volunteer at a wildlife rehab when I have free time. I care for my pets and yours with all the love and attention they need. I would love to meet your furry friends and help wherever needed.

“Savannah was great this week with my little dog, Chloe. She was prompt and communicative. Chloe normally takes some time to warm up to new people but made fast friends with her.”

About: Hi there! I’m an avid animal lover with a gentle, patient approach to pet care. I share my home with a sweet kitty named Evie and my rescue beagle, Mylo: a lovable goofball who keeps me humble and well‑trained. I always look after every pet with the same attentiveness, patience, and high quality care I give my own little crew. 🐾 󠁺 Before pursuing social work, I actually planned to become a veterinary technician, and that early passion for animals has stayed with me. I’ve volunteered at the Wabash animal shelter, spent years riding horses, and gained hands‑on experience with all kinds of personalities and needs. Mylo, who struggles with anxiety, has taught me a lot about de‑escalating reactivity and building trust through positive reinforcement. He also takes daily medication, so I’m very comfortable administering meds and following specific care routines. Mylo likes to think of it as his “evening treat with extra steps.” 󠁺 Over the past several years, I’ve pet‑sat for friends, family, and their extended circles. This has allowed me to care for pets of all ages and ranging needs. No matter the temperament, I adapt to each animal’s personality, mood, and boundaries. Striving to create a calm, reassuring environment where your pet feels understood is central to my approach as a caregiver. 󠁺 Please reach out if you have any questions! Your pet's comfort is my priority ❤️ My schedule is currently very open as I wrap up my internship, and I’m available for daily check‑ins, walks, and overnight stays! Please feel free to reach out with any questions, I’m always happy to connect. ❤️🐕‍🦺🎾 I love caring for pets where they feel safest, their home 🏡🐾. While I’m there, I carefully follow your pet’s routine and keep their space clean and comfortable, so you return to a happy, relaxed fur baby and a home that feels just as you left it (or better).

About: I have 50+ hours volunteering to walk dogs at a local shelter. I am capable of preforming basic dog and cat grooming (cutting nails, bathing, tooth brushing, etc.) and I have extensive experience caring for senior pets and training puppies. I am currently working a full time job that is very flexible, so I have plenty of time to devote to your pets! Drop ins and house sitting are my primary options! I’ve done it all: pet sitting, long or short walks, boarding and, of course, taking care of my own pets! I’ve given medication to dogs/cats of various ages and sizes. We can go for walks, hikes, swim and even have a park day. If your dog is less active, I can adjust our activity level!

About: I have plenty of experience taking care of animals growing up. I spent some time caring for my family's disabled dog, so I am not afraid of tackling some extra conditions. Friends and family have loved me as a top choice for petsitting. I can work weekends pretty consistently. As long as I have a notice ahead of time (preferably two weeks), then I am able to accommodate most times. I do best with specific instructions. I do not mind spending a little extra time hanging out with them because I know how lonely they can get when they miss you!

“Emily was great. Very professional and helpful on short notice. Would recommend her to any of my fellow pet parents!”

About: Hello there! My name is Haley and I am a lifelong pet lover who was raised on a farm and was the sole caretaker for a herd of goats, a horse, chickens, and other farm animals. This has given me experience in animal husbandry, medicine distribution, general care and maintenance. I also have pet care experience for the following animals: Bunnies, mice, hamsters, guinea pigs, birds, snakes, bearded dragons, chickens, horses, goats, donkeys, and of course, dogs and cats! I also have experience with trained police dogs and post op patients who may need that little bit of extra love, attention, and care. Whatever animal you've got, I would love to care for! My family has always had cats and dogs from all age ranges, so I have experience from puppies and kittens to seniors. Whatever your pets need, I’m confident I’ll be able to provide it so you can rest easy while away. Pet sitting is my livelihood, which means I am open to schedule according to your family and pet needs! Please don’t hesitate to reach out, as I am open and ready to meet you and your fluffy family! I can feed, walk, play with them, etc. Please show me your pets favorite scratching spot or their favorite games to play so it can be as if their routine hasn't changed a bit! I can do whatever you need for me to do, including water plants, bring in mail, etc. My goal is to make your pet as comfortable as possible while providing you peace of mind.

About: Hello! Former veterinary assistant, forever animal lover here! Have spent the last 14 years working with dogs and cats in various professional settings: boarding and daycare, animal shelters, high-volume spay/neuter, and, more recently, full-service veterinary medicine. Additionally, I have been caring for dogs and cats in my own home since I was very young. I will offer your pet/s compassionate, attentive care. You can trust that I will be responsible, reliable, professional, and fun! I’m pretty flexible at the moment. Aside from animal care, my schedule is fairly open. Please reach out and I will try to accommodate! I am unable to care for pets in my own home as I have a reactive Aussie mix, BUT, I am more than willing to stay the night or day in your home to care for your pets, following all instructions and guidelines to the T.

“Daila was amazing! Super responsive and dependable during a holiday weekend. Appreciated the care!”

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals since I was 10, including dogs, cats, parrots, chickens, and horses, and have some dog training experience. I am currently working full time, but am more than happy to dedicate all my time outside of work to your pet. I am willing to work around whatever schedule they are used to in order to make sure they remain as comfortable as possible. I remain very attentive to what the pet needs, and I make sure to accommodate for whatever recommendations my clients would like to see being done. I am also willing to work around whatever is needed for them to remain happy and healthy.

“Ava was awesome with Apollo and he loved being around her. She was punctual and easy to contact! I appreciated her sharing pictures from his walks.”

About: I have babysat for 5 years and on the side I would always pet sit, also with all of the families I have watched I would also be taking care of their pets! I have also volunteered at plenty of shelters!! I am a very energetic loving person and love to bring that energy into a pets life and be able to make their day :) I am currently a part time nanny so like before I would love to start pet sitting and walking while I’m not doing that!! I love getting my exercise in and keeping my days busy so I feel this would be great for me! I won’t be offering pet care in my home but at the clients home I would love to play with the pet to get energy and of course give it some love! I’m able to crate, feed, play, walk the pet whatever is needed!!

“Brenley came to the rescue for our family at the last second! Three cheers”
