“Ruth was an amazing dog walker! She went above and beyond to walk our pup. She provided updates, sent pictures and made us feel at ease while we were away. She's now our preferred dog walker :)”
“Thank you so much!”
About: Dogs have been my life companions and I'm a dedicated caregiver. I have experience raising my own dogs from puppy age on through the senior struggles. I had a big boy for 12 yrs and a big girl for almost 15, who I lost earlier this year. I especially love large dogs and the sweeties known as "bully" breeds. I'm choosing not to have a pet again for a while, so I have extra love and time to give to yours! I am available all days because I am not currently working a full time job and this will be a main source of income for me. I will incorporate the expectations discussed with the pet owner and be very attentive to the pet's needs. Animals tend to gravitate to me, perhaps because I play, pet, cuddle, and talk to them. I would ensure they are safe, happy, and have their needs met.
“Cameron is wonderful! Very caring, loving with my pup, easygoing and communicative. I’m so glad I found someone I can trust and feel comfortable with!”
“Jon as been super professional and is great with our dog who is excitable and can be a handful.”
“Rachelle was so responsive and made me feel so comfortable! It is my first time ever using Rover & I’m glad that she was available. Definitely will be using her services again! Highly recommend!”
“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.”
About: I have always loved dogs and have owned dogs my entire adult life. I have had the honor of caring for two litters of puppies. To experience the journey from birth to 8 weeks old is absolutely amazing. My pets have always been treated like my family and I could never imagine not having pets in my life. I am retired military and stay home to be there for my kids. I love having the flexibility to care for animals and my family. I am willing and available to care for your pets just like they were my own. Whatever your wishes are for your pets, I can make sure it happens.
About: I have been a pet sitter for the last 7 years. I have created my own petsitting business with up to 50+ unique clients. I have worked with animals of all ages and sizes. I provide tailored care to the unique needs of your pets. I make sure to keep open communication with you and make sure you receive frequent updates with photos and videos throughout your pet's stay so you can rest assured they're having a great time! I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I am currently in college. I have classes in the afternoons, so I am available to come over whenever the visits are needed. I'd love to work with your schedule to provide the best care! Because I am in college, I am unfortunately unable to host your pets in my dorm. However, I have a reliable car to come to your home as often as needed, to provide them with a familiar home environment.
About: I’m all about fun, friendly energy on every walk. Your pup gets to explore, play, and enjoy a safe, joyful journey every time we hit the pavement or grass! I have tons of pet care experience: I have two senior dogs of my own, aged 13 & 15, who I’ve had since they were old enough to be without their mommas; I’ve worked as a pet specialist at a boarding facility for dogs and cats; and I pet every dog I meet—with permission, of course. Like everyone, I love dogs, and would love to give yours some company on a play visit or walk! I work from home, and have a flexible schedule. I prefer to have a two-day notice, so I can make sure I’m available when you need me, but depending on the day, I could be available same-day too. Just contact me and see! I do not care for anyone’s pets but my own in my home. But in a client’s home, I care for pets by giving them what they need—I think it really depends on the desire of the client and the pets! Case by case basis. Belly and chin scratches are always a given though!
“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.”
About: I've owned and cared for pets my whole life! I currently board and care for several of my friends' animals and they suggested I sign up for pet care services, so here I am! Animals are the light to the soul! ❤️ Have been employed by Mosaic fertilizer for 10 years. Currently a project manager and work from home a few days a week, and have flexibility during certain hours, most days of the week. I have a decent sized fenced in yard and 3 friendly dogs who also love other animals. Hubby and I have been known to spoil a pet ... or 2... or several is a more accurate statement. Lol.
“We love Kathryn! She is punctual, accommodating and her great communication allows for a seamless stress free experience for Yoda. 10/10 recommend!”

“Natalie has watched our two cats numerous times in the past few years while we have been on vacation. We pick her because we know she loves animals and besides being regular and doing the job well including making sure everything is clean and picked up before we return home she loves the animals. She takes time to get down on the floor or wherever they are and pet them and spend time with them. She is always responsible and goes above and beyond in her pet sitting. I highly recommend her.”
