“Lucinda made multiple extra visits to my house (outside of scheduled walks) to try & get my very fearful dog to get to know her. She is very patient & understanding, I just wish my dog would be more cooperative! I appreciate how she went above & beyond to try & accommodate my scaredy cat dog. <3”
About: I am dependable and friendly. I get a lot of joy out of caring for others. I typically care for little humans but I love taking care of little furry family members as well. I work 5 shifts in a row (Sat-Wed) every 2 week and I am off the 9 days in between. I am available all day for walks and check ins. I am respectful and gentle. Safety is a top priority and fun is a close second. I would love to provide comfort and ease to your day by caring for your pet while you are away.
About: Hello! I'm just a natural born animal lover and have been surrounded by them all my life. I have over 15years experience working with animals in veterinary care and have a B.S in Animal Health Sciences. I have had experience with just about every breed and temperament of dog there is. While my passion is for dogs that does not mean I don't also love cats and have never been without one for a pet. My experience also includes caring for reptiles, rodents, pigs and even primates! My most fulfilling work was my time working as an animal health technician in an animal shelter. It brought me pure heartbreak and pure joy. It was so sad to see what conditions brought the animals to the shelter but was also rewarding knowing that I was making a difference in their lives. During my time working in shelters, I gained experience interacting with both shy dogs and aggressive dogs and am comfortable with both. While I've always had pets, I stepped away from working with animals to work in health care some years ago. I really miss the interaction with animals and caring for them. It is my one true passion. I feel I have an instinct into how an animal is feeling and am able to meet that need. I will always make sure your pet feels comfortable and secure. I'm currently working part-time in health care so have plenty of time open to care for your pet. I mostly have afternoons, evenings and weekends available. While in your home I will take all measures to ensure that your pet is safe and secure. We will leave no doors open and will always have a dog on a leash before walking out the door.
“Veronica has a special gift with my Akita girl Koji. She is absolutely tuned into a very emotionally intelligent 85 lb machine. We used her all during construction season for months. We HIGHLY recommend Veronica!”
About: My Pet Care Experience I’ve had a lifelong love for animals, caring for many cats and dogs over the decades, starting as a young child. Whether it's in my home or yours, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I offer both in-home pet care and visits—stopping by to walk your pet, give them a needed relief break, or simply provide companionship while you're away. With experience in fostering through the Humane Society, I understand each pet’s unique needs and provide the love and attention they deserve. What Sets Me Apart I treat your pet like family—because to me, they are. With a calm, pet-friendly home and years of hands-on experience, I provide the same level of love, patience, and attention I give my own animals. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities. As someone who works from home and loves taking walking breaks, I enjoy being outdoors and would be thrilled to bring your pet along with me for a walk. If your pet prefers to stay at home, I’m happy to stop by to give them a break, provide attention, and make sure they feel loved while you’re away. With years of experience caring for pets, I understand the importance of personalized care and giving your furry friend the love and attention they deserve. My one-story, fenced yard is perfect for keeping an eye on pets while they enjoy some fresh air. I live near beautiful walking paths, providing plenty of new territory for exploration and positive mental stimulation. Plus, there are several local shops that welcome animals, where your pet can get a treat and enjoy positive social interactions. Whether it's a walk, playtime, or just a break in the yard, your pet will feel loved and cared for.
“Nina is so pleasant, enthusiastic, professional, and punctual. Clearly she enjoys what she does, and takes her job seriously, and Ricky loves her! THANK YOU, NINA! YOU ARE A GEM!”
“Andi has been amazing! Highly recommend. She is an excellent communicator, reliable, responsible, patient and loving with my little 5 month old shih tzu bulldog mix. I really appreciate Andi's willingness to talk this over, see how things fit and adjust from there. Thank you, Andi!!”
About: I’ve taken care of a variety of animals in many different settings. From dog walking to house sitting multiple pets for up to a week, I’ve had a ton of experience!

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the combination of reliability, compassion, and experience with dogs of all ages and needs.

Whether it’s a brisk walk, playtime, or quiet companionship, I’m here to give your pet the same level of care I’d give my own. Pet care fits perfectly into my current routine! I'm working part-time, which gives me the flexibility and availability to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your fur babies.

About: I am comfortable with all size dogs, familiar with senior care and regular medications, and good at calming nervous pets. I can exercise your pet or sit around and relax with them, but either way, they will be my sole focus when I am with them. I am currently between jobs, so your pet would be the sole focus of my time should you need it. I love spending time outside, especially if I have a furry friend to walk around with. I am very comfortable working with any type of dog or cat, and your pet will be my main focus when I’m with them. I enjoy spending time with animals and can’t wait to meet your pal.
About: Ive grown up around dogs, cats, horses and goats and have a deep connection with these animals. I love going on adventures with my pets and hope that I can offer that adventure for your pets too! I have had previous experience with giving medication and medical attention. I value safety for these animals as well as fun so this balance between the two are very important to me. I am a college student and have an odd schedule so finding a flexible job is great! Communication is important to me so reach out if you have any questions! Safety and trust are extremely important and so I try to establish a relationship before going to any new or unfamiliar places. By meeting in a comfortable place for the dog first we can get to know each other before the adventure begins.
About: I have been taking care of cats and dogs since I was old enough to hold the kibble scoop! I am comfortable handling everything from grumpy cats to picky eaters to escape artist dogs calmly and patiently. I work part time and I'm looking to get to spend some of my free time this summer taking care of you pets! My availability varies, but I'm always available Sundays.

Nina F.
“Nina has been a trusted pet and childcare provider to our family for the last six years. First taking care of our young daughter and then house sitting, tending to my garden during the summer months while watching our three cats and dog. The animals needed special attention as not to come into contact with the resident coyotes (specifically the dog while she wandered the within her invisible fenced in area), of our woodland property and daily medications. Also our indoor cats would try to escape and she would pay special attention not to leave doors or windows allowing this access, something someone who is often not familiar with one's particular household might do! She was also quite detailed with my dog's daily medication and all four pets eating schedules and watering machine. I highly recommend her.”

Wynn was an amazing dog walker. Super easy to communicate with, even though I had contacted last minute. Was punctual on arriving to the house and taking direction for accessing Huey. Wynn was comfortable with taking Huey even though he pulls a bit. I was so happy to hear that they got along and enjoyed spending time together. Wynn even played a bit of tug with Huey before leaving him. Would highly recommend Wynn. I will absolutely be requesting Wynn again for care taking!
Kerensa is amazing! She keeps me posted on how my pups are doing - even the little guy who hasn't been able to go on walks lately. She is kind, compassionate and understands pups and is just a super decent human which we need more of! Thank you Kerensa! I appreciate you so much :-)
Wow!!! If I could give 10 stars, I would!! Christine C. exceeded my expectations when she accepted my unique request-meet downtown and hangout/walk my pup while I went to a medical appointment. The day before, my pup and I had driven 10 hours to spend the night at a hotel before my appointment the next morning. Christine C. arrived early at our planned meeting spot. My 7-month old pup eagerly greeted her, tail wags and all!! (I believe that animals are a fantastic judge of human character.) Knowing that my pup was in such great care, I was able to focus on appointment. Can’t recommend Christine C. enough!! She’s a true gem.
Eden has been a life-saver for me. I injured my knee and couldn't walk my pup. She was available on short notice to start a daily afternoon walk for Piper. Great communication, punctual and very responsive. I had no concerns about Piper being in good hands with Eden. Piper also has been having GI issues and Eden was great about giving me a daily "poop" report so I would know if her BMs changed from day-to-day. 10 stars if I could choose that for Eden! Great experience!
Kennedy was great with Bella and Violet. She was on time, communicated well and the dogs and I enjoyed her. She has such a wonderful personality for this type of work and I was quite impressed with her first visits with my dogs. They felt safe and well cared for with her and I did as well.
