Dog Sitting in Hopkins

“Haley is very trustworthy and our kids are always happy and relaxed after her visits!”

About: Ever since I was little, I have always had an animal companion at my side. I have experience with both senior pets with medical needs as well as puppies and kittens less than a year old. Wherever your pet is at in their life, I can handle it. I have a consistent schedule during the week and am available in the early mornings, lunch, and after 5. My weekends are completely free with the exception of Saturday evening when I work as a server. I am calm, gentle, and experienced with many animal personalities. Whether your pet is shy and nervous or bouncing and energetic, I will love them like my own!

“Aaron was so wonderful! The dogs loved him right away. He sent us pictures and updated us on how they were doing each time he came. Loved him. Would absolutely recommend!”

About: I’ve had pets my entire life (primarily dogs) and care for them all equally. I love getting to know each pup individually and making them feel relaxed, comfortable and cared for. It’s such a rewarding experience to gain a pet’s trust - and I can confidently say I’ve never met one I didn’t like or that didn’t like me! My schedule is currently very flexible, so I’m able to accommodate your pet’s needs virtually any time during the day/evening. I enjoy being outside and active, and would certainly love the opportunity to incorporate caring for your pet(s) while doing the activities I enjoy! I can accommodate and care for your pet in whatever way you prefer, whether that includes crating, leaving them out for a set period of time, or spending extended periods with them inside or outside of your home.

“Samantha did a great job taking care of our pups! She communicated and let us know how they were doing and we loved getting her pictures of them. We would definitely reach out to Samantha again!”

About: I’ve loved animals ever since I’ve been a little girl, I got my own dog when I was around 11. I’ve been the main caretaker of him and I absolutely love it. He brings me so much happiness and I wouldn’t trade him for the world. My friends and family have also depended on me to watch, walk, feed, and even wash their pets occasionally. I think pet care fits perfectly for my daily/weekly routine because I’m a college student and it’s hard to find a job that wants my type of availability and since the summer is coming up I wanted to earn money while doing something I’m already good at and love. I always try to make to recreate a similar environment that the pet is use to. I can try and crate them if needed, or be interactive with them if that’s something they enjoy.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. I grew up with pets and have personally raised four dogs from puppies into adulthood, along with caring for a cat of my own. In addition to dogs and cats, I’ve also cared for bunnies, birds, and even pigs. Friends and family regularly trust me to watch, feed, walk, and care for their pets while they’re away, so I’m comfortable with animals of different sizes, personalities, and needs. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, loved, and comfortable, and I always treat every animal like they’re part of my own family. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. Right now, I’m only taking summer classes from 10 AM–1 PM during weekdays, which gives me plenty of time throughout the day for walks, playtime, feeding, check-ins, and quality care. I’m available most afternoons and evenings during the week and can provide pets with lots of attention and companionship. My weekend availability may vary, but I always keep my schedule updated and communicate clearly about availability. I currently provide pet care in clients’ homes only, as I live in an apartment and have dogs of my own. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I make sure pets feel safe, cared for, and stress-free in their familiar environment. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and any specific needs each pet may have. I also make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and supervision while maintaining a clean and safe environment. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pet and home, and I always treat both with respect and care.

“Oralee is a very good dog sitter for my dog. She treats my dog like her own. My dog loves her so much. She is so helpful letting my dog out during the day while I’m at work”

About: Hello! I have been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. I have grown up with dogs and cats my entire life (though in the latter years it has been just dogs). I have experience with all sizes and breeds of dogs, and various stages of their lives. I lost my senior girl last year (she was 14) and I raised her for her entire life. In her golden years, we would just sit and spend time together, petting her and just "being". She had some "old girl" issues that came about with a weekend bladder, and we took it in stride, as it is just a part of life. I also have a boisterous 100 lb German Shepherd that keeps me on my toes! He loves to play fetch and would run all day if he could. I would love to help you and your family out with providing walks for your pet during the week to stretch their legs, get some fresh air and maybe chase a few balls, or provide longer-term care if your family needs to go out of town. I treat each pet as if they were my own, with all the snuggles and pets they will allow, as well as just being good company. I am understanding of how stressful it can be to find care for your pet that sets your mind at ease, knowing they are getting the best care they can get (aside from you, their owner). I would love to provide these services for you and your pet, so you know they are getting the very best. I am currently working part time which leaves me plenty of time to look after your pups, either for walks of longer periods of play time. I am very vigilant with my dogs when they are outside, and I am always aware of where they are. I will treat yours just as I would treat my own.

About: I’ve cared for cats and dogs since I could walk! I’m a student at the university of South Carolina studying to become a veterinarian so animals are my passion! I’m a student athlete at carolina so I’ll be walking in between practices and volunteer experiences, my only times I won’t be available is certain weekends when I’m competing! I’m currently just walking dogs not housing them, so my home/clients home won’t be a problem. On walks I will make sure your dog gets the exercise, exploration, and bathroom time they need!

“We love Sam. We used her a few months back for the first time and haven’t looked back since. Sam makes our trips worry free. So glad we found someone so reliable and friendly to take care of our Steele while we’re away!”

“As always Hannah has been amazing watching my pup Arty! Very accomadating for his seperation anxiety and even went above and beyond to ensure he was taken care of. Came home to my pup clean, happy and not as anxious!”

About: I’ve had four years in the vet field, working with 10-20 different vet clinics and animal shelters. Assisted in many surgeries, given shots/vaccines, so walking your pup will be a breeze. I’m currently working Part-time with no set schedule, so just let me know when you need me, and I can work my schedule around it. I would prefer a fenced in backyard/area to walk your pet, just for my own safety, but I can absolutely work around that if not.

About: I’ve always had a home filled with many animals. Multiple ages, different breeds, and different abilities. I’ve had first hand experience raising puppies and also providing a comfortable space for senior dogs as well. I currently have two dogs and two cats of my own!! I’m currently a college student home for the summer. I have a few pets that I see every week, but would love to see more! I have a 3 year old golden retriever if your dog is looking for a friend to spend the day with! I will help out with feeding, water, walks and more!

About: I have taken care of high energy and working dogs for years. I grew up with hunting dogs and have a working dog myself. Caring for animals in my spare time is something I enjoy and cannot get enough of! I work full time, however mornings, lunch breaks, and nights are devoted to my animals and my weekends are devoted to exploring new places with my favorite companion. I have a 3 year old Belgian Malinois who will keep your pet company and have ample space and a wonderful park to make sure your pet gets their needed exercise.

“Holly is great taking care of our cat Lovi. She ensures Lovi is fed, refresh water bowl, clean litterbox, bring mails and water the house plants. We find our cat happy and healthy whenever we come back from vacation. We ensure to bring her chocolate from our vacation country.”

About: I’ve grown up with every kind of animal; dog, cat, bird, snake…you name it I probably had it. I currently own my ESA Molly, a 3yo cat who was a pregnant foster fail (her 4 babies went to amazing homes). I have experience fostering and owning pregnant dogs and cats. I have midwifed puppies at the age of 15 alone. I then got to train those 6 puppies which was an amazing experience. I love getting to spend time with animals and I have the time to help owners who maybe can’t be with their fur babies all day. I am a full time graduate student, however weekends i have all day availability, and during the week I am available in the mornings and evenings. I don’t work so other than classes I have a lot of free time. In my own home, Molly is cared for solely by me. This would be the same for your pet. I have two female roommates (also animal lovers) who have their own space in our apartment. Molly is allowed free roam including the balcony, however only with MY supervision on the balcony. With foster dogs we’ve had, they were also allowed on the balcony, as we are on the second floor with a 4.5ft railing. Our complex has a completely fenced in large grass area for dogs in between the buildings where we take our fosters out to play. In your home, it is up to you how I care for your animals. I’m willing to do sidewalk walks as well as go to dog parks. I have no issue visiting your pet at your home to take them just to the backyard or on a 2 mile walk.

About: I have helped my childhood cat deliver babies. My first official babysitting job was caring for my newborn puppy brother. His mother passed away giving birth so I have lots of hands-on training with both dogs and cats. I'm currently a full-time student. I do not work so my schedule is only based on what classes I have at the time. If you're located near campus, I am able to stop by almost any time. If you need specialized feeding, walks, or just someone to cuddle with your fur baby, then I am the person for you. I will also do litter box changes and clean ups as necessary.

“Her summaries about how the visit went are the best!! Karalyn has been checking on our pups for a few weeks now. She is reliable, easy to work with, and consistent. Exactly what you want when you are trusting somebody with your dogs and access to your home. Can’t recommend high enough!”

About: I have had a cat since 2015 and have experience giving 10+ medications a day to cats. I have had a dog for a year. I work Monday to Thursday in person and am home around 4 every day, after which I typically play with my dog and go for a walk. On the weekends, I am available for house sitting and boarding. I have a nice sized fenced backyard, a one year old lab/blue heeled mix, and a cat. I provide a very loving home with lots of toys.
