About: I've taken care dogs and cats and each animal is a unique experience. At one point I had 4 dogs and moved. No pet left behind! I'm a Full time Bookstore Manager working in Carbondale.

“Trinity is amazing with my pups. Always ask me questions when needed. The dogs absolutely love her and I have a 80 pound American Staffordshire Terrier with anxiety . I completely trust my dogs with Trinity and am very lucky to have found such a great dog walker.”
About: I have taken care of several types of dogs since I was little. I grew up in the country and helped take care of my neighbors dogs and animals whenever I could. I have watched my friends pets before and respected any care methods they have. I took care of puppies and dogs pretty much my whole life. I trained puppies and always pay attention to body language and behavior. I work every other weekend currently at a motorcycle range. My week days are free and so are my nights. I take online classes right now since it is the summer semester. I have my own cat so I keep his space clean and tidy. I feed him on a set schedule and make sure he has plenty of space for his zoomies and play time. He is a single cat and likes it that way. For client’s homes, I will follow any and all instructions for their pet and keep their home tidy and keep their pets clean as well, including litter boxes, food spills, etc.
“Chelsey was just the BEST!! We were so anxious about leaving them. To make matters worse, there was a bad storm in the forecast. She took the very best care of them and we will definitely be using her again!!”
“Stephanie was great! My dogs had a blast!”
About: Caring for animals is more than just something I do — it’s something I genuinely love. Over the past 7+ years, I’ve had the privilege of working in both vet clinics and boarding facilities, where I’ve built up not only experience, but also a deep understanding of how to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. From energetic puppies to older pets with special needs, I know how to meet each animal where they are. I’m comfortable giving medications, keeping up with routines, and offering gentle support to pets who need a little extra attention. I’ve helped puppies build confidence with consistent potty training and positive reinforcement, and I know how to spot when something’s off before it becomes a bigger concern. More than anything, I aim to be a calming, loving presence for your pet while you’re away—someone they can trust and feel at home with. Your pet’s happiness and well-being will always be my top priority. I am extremely flexible and can work around my schedule to be there to provide for your pet and their needs (whatever they may be)! I am more comfortable caring for pets in client’s home as I live in an apartment and my boyfriend is allergic to most dogs and some cats.
“Shae was great! Had no problems with her visit at all everything went smooth! Will contact her again to watch my pet in the future! She sent multiple photos and followed care instructions perfectly. Thanks Shae!!”
About: I have had dogs for most of my life and always loved all animals. I work remotely so I am almost always home with my own pets. I work from home, so rather than keeping a strict schedule, I usually follow my dogs’ lead. They generally let me know when they need to go outside/come inside, eat, play, etc. We do at least two feedings a day. Every animal I’ve ever had has had their own unique personality with unique needs. Right now I have big, friendly dogs, but before them I had a grumpy old Yorkie with epilepsy/special needs. I will tailor my care to whatever will be best for your pet(s).

About: I've raised animals of all sorts all my life so I am very passionate about giving the best care to any and all types of animals. I have spare time in my weeks to walk, play, pet and cuddle your pet. If you have a schedule set for them then I will keep them on it to the best of my abilities and if no schedule then I can wing it and even make one if you'd prefer. I supervise all outside time not just the walks, I keep a close eye on your pet to make sure no one gets into or out of anything their not supposed to and if you have a door charging pet I can keep them from slipping past and can even help teach them to refrain by request only. I work anywhere from 1-3 times a week which leaves me with a lot of spare time on my hands to help others furry friends. Though I don't offer stays in my home, I will be mindful of yours, if you have specific rules or routines for your pet I will happily uphold them and will always look out for the safety of your pet.
About: I grew up around animals of all kinds- from dogs to iguanas to chickens. At 18 I got my own place and rescued 2 puppies. Fast forward 2 years, I fostered 2 new pups- ended up keeping 1 and gifting my parents with the other. I can take your dog for walks, to the park, hiking, check on them at home.. Whatever you’re comfortable with! I have such a deep passion for working with animals and I will nurture yours as if they were my own. I look forward to giving your dogs the proper care and love they need while you’re away! I work remote and live in town which gives me a lot of flexibility and availability. I have 3 dogs (10yr, 8yr and 5.5yr) so I'm super comfortable with feeding/walking/playing with animals. I live in an apartment with a huge back yard area. I also have an SUV which I can take your pups to the park or hiking if that's something you'd be interested in!
About: I've taken care of dogs for a bit more recently. I've worked at a doggy daycare and grooming facility. I love it, I have 2 dogs of my own.

I will follow any of your instructions to the best of my ability. I will keep in contact with you and update you on your baby as needed.
