“The absolute best. Reliable, communicative, empathic, trustworthy—I could go on and on! My dog is leash reactive and it’s such a relief knowing he has someone who understands him and is willing to work with his individual needs. And his little tail doesn’t stop wagging from the moment he sees her car pull up!”

About: I have cared for all ages/sizes/breeds of animals for over 10 years. Whether it is family, friends, colleges, or reoccurring/new clients. I have a passion for all animals and would love to meet and get to know you and your best friend/s. Both my daily and weekly routine is flexible and can be worked around based on your animal/s needs. I am working on bookings through here so as long as something is scheduled with me it will work. I no longer do this service and not sure why it is making me enter info, so I apologize for this and will be contacting Rover

18. Victoria S.
About: Hello! I have taken care of dogs all of my life. My baby is a German Shepherd who is 8 years old. Along with walking I am willing to do a run with any dogs as well to help them release some energy! Currently my schedule changes weekly. Depending on the day/week I am available mornings, afternoons, and evenings. Preferably Would like a heads up, but I understand as a pet mom emergencies happen. If needed the day of send a quick message and if I can help I am more then willing too! I have a huge backyard that has a privacy fence if your dog needed some extra time to run free. I care for your pets just like I would my baby and then some if needed depending on the dog. My dog is currently loosing his movement in his back legs. So shortly we will be using a wheel chair, so I am more then accustomed to dogs with special needs.
19. Vicky S.
“Vicky is a long-time animal friend and advocate. She heads the Euclid Beach Cat Project, a non-profit cat rescue organization. She recently started her own business, Jet Set & Go Pet Services. I had hired her to look after my very spoiled cat in my home while I was out of town. She did a great job, playing with him, feeding him, socializing with him and I returned home to a relaxed, happy cat! I highly recommend her :-)”
20. Samantha B.
About: I have been volunteering as a foster and dog walker at animal shelters for over 8 years. This has given me the opportunity to work with many kinds of dogs with various behaviors and needs. I have experience caring for any age from puppies to senior dogs and am comfortable giving medications and providing training. I am also comfortable with dogs who have behavioral issues or reactivity. I offer dog walking, overnight sitting, and home visits. I would love to take your baby out for day adventures - hikes, jogs, dog park, beach, anything! I am currently job hunting, so I am very available and am often able to take last minute requests! Help a girl make some money while she looks for her dream job. I have a VERY friendly dog of my own and am happy to bring him with me to keep your pup company, though if your dog would prefer to be the only dog that is fine as well. I know leaving your dog with a stranger can be anxiety inducing so I would love to send regular updates and photos throughout the day.
