“John D is awesome and Ruby loves him! He has made such a difference in her! If you are on the fence about dog walking, it’s so worth it! I highly recommend John. He is also teaching her better manners on the leash. We couldn’t be happier with him and his great care of Ruby!”

About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals, having been raised with pets my whole life! I strongly believe in giving them the best care possible. I’ve learned firsthand the importance of patience, compassion, and attention to detail when it comes to providing the best care for animals. I have a 4-year-old Lab/Pitbull mix that I’ve raised from a puppy and have trained with love and patience, ensuring she has grown into a well-behaved and happy companion. Additionally, I’ve had the privilege of caring for a senior dog with congestive heart failure (CHF), where I administered around-the-clock medication and provided the special attention needed to ensure their comfort. I understand how important it is to give both young and senior pets the love, attention, and care they deserve. What sets me apart is my compassion and attention to detail. I treat every pet as if they were my own, whether it’s providing personalized training or simply offering them the companionship they need when you’re away. Whether your dog needs playtime, training, or medication management, you can trust that I will give them the highest level of care. I’d love to meet your furry family member and provide them with the same quality care I’d give my own pet! As a full-time professional who is new to the area, I have extra time available after my work hours and on weekends. I understand the importance of consistency in pet care and am happy to accommodate your pet's needs around my schedule. I am available before 7 a.m. and after 4 p.m. on weekdays. I offer flexible hours on weekends with prior notice. Whether it's a morning walk, evening playtime, or weekend care, I am committed to providing reliable and loving attention to your pets. I take the safety and well-being of every pet I care for very seriously. While I am unable to keep pets in my own apartment due to strict policies, I am more than happy to provide excellent care in the comfort of your home. I understand the importance of a familiar environment for pets and make sure to create a calm, secure, and loving space for them while you're away. I follow clear instructions for their routines, ensuring they feel at ease and receive the best possible care. Trust is crucial in pet care, and I prioritize building strong relationships with both pets and their owners. With many years of experience, I offer a reliable, compassionate service, and I make sure to keep you updated with regular check-ins or photos. I also respect your home and space, ensuring I leave it just as I found it, clean and orderly, so you can feel confident knowing your pets and property are in good hands.

About: Animals have always brought a sense of peace and joy into my life, and I genuinely love every opportunity to care for them. Whether it’s going on walks, playing with their favorite toy, relaxing on the couch for cuddles, or spending time at the dog park, I enjoy making pets feel happy, safe, and loved. Animals have such a special ability to brighten someone’s day, and I love being able to give that same comfort and care back to them. I’ve been caring for animals since I was young. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, and spend quality time with their pets over the years. Growing up, I had 4 Yorkies and as an adult, I also cared for two American Bulldogs, one of whom suffered from severe allergies, so I understand how important it is to be attentive to food sensitivities, environmental triggers, and each pet’s individual needs. I also have experience administering medications, including pills, liquid medications, pill poppers, and oral syringes. My cat Willow, was a sweetheart and required both pill and liquid medications, which gave me even more hands-on experience with patient, gentle care. I know how hard it can be finding someone you trust to take care of your sweet furry babies. I treat every pet as if they were my own and aim to create a safe, comforting, and loving environment while you’re away.

About: I care for dogs regularly through my pet sitting work, including feeding, potty breaks, leash walks, playtime, and basic training practice. I live with my own pets, including an energetic young pup, so I’m very comfortable managing puppy zoomies, reinforcing good manners, and keeping routines consistent. I have experience with different sizes and temperaments and always take time to read each dog’s body language so they feel comfortable and understood I prioritize pet sitting around my work schedule, ensuring that pets receive dedicated care when I’m off the clock. Whether it’s early mornings, evenings, or weekends, I make time to provide walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship. My goal is to maintain a consistent routine that keeps pets comfortable and cared for while balancing my other commitments. I care for every pet in a secure, stress-free setting, whether in my home or yours. In my home, I’ve established dedicated pet areas with clean, comfortable resting spots and safe play zones, while in your home, I meticulously follow your routines and guidelines—ensuring your space is respected and enhanced with pet-proofing measures. Open communication and regular updates mean you’ll always feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and thriving.

About: Ever since I was little, animals have been a huge part of my life. Growing up on a small farm taught me not only how to care for animals, but also how deeply they become part of the family. I truly believe pets are our children, and they deserve the same love, patience, attention, and care we would give to any family member. One of the most meaningful experiences I’ve had was caring for my dog, Sophie, during the final year of her life after she was diagnosed with bone cancer. That time taught me so much about compassion, attentiveness, and the importance of making pets feel safe and comfortable through every stage of life. Caring for Sophie gave me extensive hands-on experience administering medications, injections, and following detailed care routines with patience and consistency. I understand how important it is to trust someone with a pet who may need extra support, medical care, or simply a gentler approach. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and farm animals with all kinds of personalities and needs, and I genuinely love getting to know each pet’s unique routines, quirks, and comfort levels. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, anxious, senior, or needs specialized care, I always strive to make them feel loved, calm, and right at home. I also own a small handmade pet accessory business, Lumber Puppies. You may have seen me at local art and maker markets throughout the years! Being involved in the pet community has only strengthened my belief that our animals deserve thoughtful, personalized care and lots of affection. When your pet is with me, they’ll be treated like one of my own, with plenty of love, attention, belly rubs, playtime, and patience. I know how important peace of mind is when leaving your babies with someone else, and my goal is always to make both you and your pet feel completely comfortable and cared for. I am available every day of the week with a lot of flexibility and can accommodate last-minute changes. Let me know what your needs are, and we can discuss how I can help. While caring for your pets, you can feel safe knowing that I will always take the utmost care when in your home. I have a deep fear of someone carelessly letting one of my cats slip out the door. Because I have this fear for my own pets, I will ensure that it is not something you will ever have to worry about while your babies are in my care.

“Tobias is always a wonderful with my senior dog. He’s kind and super responsive to Ziggy’s needs. And I truly appreciate how flexible Tobias is with last-minute requests. Thank you, Tobias!”
