About: I have always had animals in my home growing up. Currently I own 4 cats but have had small rodents such as hamsters and guinea pigs as well. I worked in pet care for Petsmart and worked there for 2 and a half years before beginning my teaching career. As someone who has had rodents and taken care of reptiles at Petsmart, don’t hesitate to contact me if you have exotics! I have taken care of and watched my parents animals which consisted of 6 cats, one had to have insulin twice a day. I’ve given different animals medications and am confident I can watch your fur babies! I look forward to hearing from you! I am a full time teacher and am currently only available on weekends or holidays as of right now. I’ll have more free time over spring and summer break! I prefer to not board animals in my home as I do not have room for them. However, I would very much enjoy coming over and taking care of them for drop in visits!

About: I am certified in Pet CPR and First Aid through the American Health Training Association. Personalized Care, Special Needs Pet Care, and Experienced & Trustworthy I am retired and currently an Interfaith/Interspiritual Minister which provides me with a flexible schedule. I am available weekdays, most weekends and holidays for you. My services at this time will take place in your home. I will require an initial greeting to make sure your animal is comfortable and has a chance to get to know me in their own environment. I have worked with animals that have had anxiety and was able to work with them to gain their trust.

“Taylor was fantastic!! I needed a last minute savior after my normal person backed out and she was there for us. Great communication and was great with my big fur baby. I plan on using her whenever I need someone from now on.”

My dog had a great time with him and I loved all the pictures I got! I would truly recommend him to anyone looking for a dog walker that truly puts your dog’s happiness first.”

About: I have grown up with dogs all my life, all of them being rescues. I have experienced two of those dogs dealing with severe separation anxiety and one of them (my current) being a youthful active puppy. I have the patience and experience for both. I also have experience with fostering two pups! I currently work full time from home 8:00am-5:30pm. I am available before and after work M-F OR all day night and all night on the weekends! I can also do overnight check ins any day of the week. I currently have two fur babies. One I’ve had for three years, he’s a rescue. The other is 7 months and I got her about 4 months ago! I love my doggies and would love to share my love with yours. I can take them for a walk, to your neighborhood dog park, throw toys and engage with them or simply just hang out!

“Alyssa is wonderful with my Trinity! She can be leash reactive which always makes me nervous for other people walking her, but I trust Alyssa!”

“Jen was excellent! She sent me pictures from the walk and was very communicative throughout the process. She’s very kind and I could tell my puppy loved her. I will be using her services again.”

About: What sets me apart is my calm, patient approach and genuine love for all animals. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, routine, and comfort level—whether they’re energetic, shy, senior, or still learning. I’m attentive on walks, gentle during sitting, and always focused on safety, consistency, and positive interactions. I’m especially mindful with senior pets who may need slower walks, extra comfort, or medication reminders, and I’m patient with puppies who are still learning routines and leash manners. I communicate clearly with owners, follow care instructions closely, and treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is simple: happy, relaxed pets and complete peace of mind for you. My open availability allows me to be hands-on and fully present, giving your pet(s) lots of attention and personalized care with patience love and consistency. I make sure your pet(s) feel safe, happy, and loved in their own home. I stick to their routine, give plenty of cuddles, play, and gentle attention, and make sure they’re comfortable every step of the way. You’ll get updates, photos, and lots of peace of mind while I care for your furry (or feathery!) family members.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 10 years old. I worked at a vet clinic in college and now have 3 dogs of my own. I grew up with both cats and dog and frequently look after friends pets when they’re gone. I have experience with reactive dogs as well. I currently have the summer off so I have plenty of time to spend with your fur babies! I am free for drop in visits at any time of day. I have three spoiled dogs of my own currently and have had cats all my life. I aim to make clients comfortable and fulfilled whether it’s a quick potty break or long walk!

About: I’ve been around dogs of all sizes and personalities my whole life — from tiny pups to giant gentle giants. I treat every dog like they’re my own, with lots of love, attention, and care. Whether your pup is playful, shy, energetic, or laid-back, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and right at home. I’m a full-time teacher who’s home for the summer — which means your pup gets plenty of love, attention, and playtime! During the school year, we are both off on weekends, holidays, and several breaks throughout the year. I work very close by. So a quick potty break is easy to accommodate. My husband also works locally. So there’s usually someone home for extra belly rubs and company. We’re a dog-loving household ready to make your pup feel right at home! Safety is always my number one priority. I treat them like family — with lots of love and attention, and always with their well-being top of mind. At home, I have a friendly black lab mix who loves to play with new pals! She’s crate trained and well-socialized. You can trust that your furry friend will be safe, happy, and well cared for every step of the way.

I also love keeping pet parents updated with messages and photos, so they can feel reassured and at peace while away from their beloved pets.

About: I am a teacher on summer break! Neighbors and friends have relied on me to feed, walk, and visit their dogs during the day.
