“Matthew was absolutely amazing with my dog! From the start, he was professional, communicative, and kind. He followed all instructions perfectly, sent great updates and photos, and went above and beyond to make sure my dog was comfortable and happy. I’ll definitely be booking with Matthew again—highly recommend!”

About: I’m interested in this position because pets have a soft spot in my heart. I grew up with two dogs and four cats. We sometimes let in strays as well. I was the one responsible for feeding my pets and cleaning up the litter box. My own canine family started when I was 18. I have experience with dogs with diabetes, orthopedic reconstruction and chronic systemic arthritis. I am confident that I can care for and love on your pet while you’re away so you have few concerns about your loved one. I have a very flexible schedule. I am a stay at home mom of teenagers. I have the ability to care for your pet based on your schedule and needs. I offer care in the client’s home. I will follow the instructions the client tells me. My own dog has such a schedule and routine of when to go out vs eating so I completely understand the need for routine. I will always make sure safety comes first. If there isn’t a fence then I would prefer to have the pet on a leash. I would never want a pet getting loose and running off.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats all of my life. I have always been the go to sitter for friends and family. I am especially experienced with senior dogs and understand the patience, gentleness and extra care they need. I’ve also trained my own pets from a young age, so I’m comfortable working with both older and energetic puppies. Above all, my husband and I treat every pet like family. I work full-time, and my husband is an independent worker with a flexible schedule, so we tag team pet care throughout the day. Our routine allows us to provide check ins and potty breaks approximately every 2-4 hours. We make sure pets are never left alone for too long and always have the attention they need. We’re also available on weekends and happy to accommodate your pets usual routine as closely as possible. Safety and trust are my top priorities. While I have an unfenced yard, I always use leash and supervise pets closely during outdoor time. I have a calm home environment with open space for pets to walk, play and relax. My senior chihuahua has their own separate room, which helps maintain a peaceful setting and allows me to keep visiting pets comfortable and safe.

“April is wonderful! All three of my fur babies took an immediate liking to her. My pup is a bit shy, but by day 2 was offering up her belly for rubs! She is our go to from here on out.”

“Cassidy was very accommodating, flexible and kind with my fur babies. It was their first time left alone all day in a very long time and my first time using the app and Cassidy was patient with my new navigation of this process and tender hearted to my lonely doggie. Warmed my heart that she sat with my girl and encouraged her to eat her meal even though she was missing her momma. I even needed to add an extra walk when my day went unexpectedly late, and this was no issue.”

About: I have cared for dogs for over 30 years. Mine, friends etc. I have watched dogs, cats, lizards, bunnies. Please no snakes. No issue with multiple animals. I do ask that if the dogs are more than 25 lbs they walk easily without pulling on the leash. I have physical limitations and cannot safely handle strong pulling dogs for walks. This is my full time job. If I have availability I can help you. I am open for last minute bookings because I don’t have another job. I only care for dogs in the clients home. If a situation arose where I needed to care for a dog in my home I have a fully fenced large back yard and a crate for them to feel comfortable in.

About: I am an experienced pet owner of two dogs who will have your dog walking on a loose leash. Play is the best way to have a dog that is calm, attentive, and polite. A tired dog is a well behaved dog! Currently available on Friday evenings and weekends. Limited availability during the week. Let me know when you need me and I'll see what I can work out on my calendar! Walking should be fun! Positive reinforcement will be used (treats and praise) in combination with the leash to clearly communicate to the dog what is the desired behavior. Play is a great way to show a dog manners!

“Kylee took excellent care of our dog Lady and cat Scamp. She sent us pics of Lady doing her happy dance post walk and let us know each time she was arriving and departing. I would book Kylee's services again in a heartbeat.”

“Cameron was such a great choice for our fur baby. She was very communicative and always kept in touch and sent photos. she helped so much and was very sweet and our baby. We loved her would definitely recommend her and will definitely reach out again in the future. :)”

About: I have not only owned dogs my whole life but i am in school to work with a variety of animals and have learned so much about different behaviors and caring for different breeds. I have worked in an animal hospital as well as volunteered at several shelters. I have waked neighbors dogs and stayed overnights at family friends to care for their pets for as long as i can remember and am no stranger to the importance of good communication with the owner when they are away from their beloved pet. I have an unusual schedule for work where i conduct data collection on a boat but when i am not at sea then i am able to help out with any pet care needs so just reach out and i can communicate my availability! Unfortunately i do not know far in advance when i will have to work for my job so it is hard to book out for pet care far in advanced. I have cared for many different breeds of dogs with a variety of energy levels and needs. My own huskies have taught me to be extra aware of my surroundings and where they are in relation to what is around as they would try to run off after wild animals and get themselves lost often when they were younger.

About: I grew up on a farm and then moved on to caring for my family's pets. My love for animals grew as I have aged I am semi retired and home all day with plenty of time to be attentive to the animals in my care. They will be well looked after I live in a safe contained mobile home park where there is plenty of room to walk pets. I also have a yard and Florida room. I do work part time i do still have alot of time for your pets and time to walk and playing and petting and lying on the couch I have a Florida room whitch i call the rover room we go out and play when it's raining i keep my living room door open

“Very helpful, took wonderful care of my pups!”

About: I've always been surrounded by dogs (especially German Shepherds)! Between walking neighbors' dogs, pet sitting, and having my own, I have built experience in taking care of them. I have also worked at a Dog Daycare where I supervised groups of over 50 dogs. My dad was a K9 handler, so I grew up knowing how to train and care for dogs. I am also an undergrad student on the Pre-Veterinary track with lots of volunteer hours toward clinic work! I am currently working part-time, so I have lots of time to take your pets on long and fun walks! My schedule varies but will be quick to respond back regarding questions about dates and times. With walks around the neighborhood, your pets will be treated just like my own! Please let me know if there are any special requests or occomodations needed for your dog :)

Reduced chance for picking up illness as not boarding with other pets. Pets can keep their same feeding & exercise routines. They can also have the familiar sights, sounds & smells that make them feel safe in their own home.

I am available for your let's needs, whether that be stop I'm visits, house sitting and overnight stays and more. I also do pet and family portraiture. I do not care for client's pet in my home, but rather the pet's own home so they feel confident, safe, relaxed and can keep their own routines, surrounded by familiar sights, sounds and smells.

“Madison is simply the best. More than just a sitter, she has a true understanding of your pets needs and is great at communicating back to us. I don’t know what we would do without her when we are at work and have to leave our puppy at home.”
