“She is so patient and caring, I had to scheduled an emergency walk because my dog was left alone by a family member that was supposed to stay with him, he met her for the first time without me being home and she patiently tried to warm him up, he is too territorial but she let him in the back yard and he used the bathroom. I cannot thank her enough !”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs and fish ever since I was 10 years old.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and other pets since I was little. Pets of my own, family and friends. I’ve always been dependable and so loving of animals.

I can do multiple potty breaks throughout the day if necessary! I provide pets with a happy environment. I do live in an apartments so I don’t usually care for pets in my home but I can if needed.
About: I love all animals, but I have a special place in my heart for dogs! I grew up with a family dog and have cared for many of my friends’ and family members’ pets over the past 10 years. I’ve also trained my own dog and love learning new tips and techniques to help pets thrive. Whether it’s a quick walk around the block or a long hike on the trails, I truly enjoy spending time outdoors with dogs.

About: I’ve always had a love for animals and enjoy making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I understand that every dog has a different personality and routine, so I take the time to follow each owner’s instructions closely. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or just a calm companion, I’ll make sure they feel loved and cared for. I work from home, so pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. Since I’m home often, your pet won’t be left alone for long periods of time, and I can help keep them on their normal schedule so they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. For house sitting, I’m also able to bring my work equipment with me, which allows me to stay with your pet while still working remotely and giving them consistent care and companionship. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it a priority to keep their routine and environment as normal and comfortable as possible. I carefully follow all instructions for feeding, walks, potty breaks, medications if needed, crate routines, and any house rules. I always make sure doors, gates, leashes, and fenced areas are secure, and I pay close attention during walks and playtime to keep pets safe. I’m respectful of every client’s home and will treat both your pet and your space with care. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you feel comfortable while you’re away.
About: I am a full time employee in an assisted living. I had my sweet dachshund for 17 years, and caring for her through her senior years taught me how to care and keep senior pets happy. Now I have a happy, energetic bernedoodle and two adorable bunnies at my parents house and always miss now that I am away. I I have been around both small and large dogs all of my life. Growing up I constantly house sat, fed and watered pets while my neighbors were away for pocket money. I look forward to becoming your dog’s new favorite sitter! I have work till 5pm and then the rest of the day I have time to take care of your pets. When I lived with my pets I would let them out in the yard in the mornings and as soon as I would get home. I made sure to give them attention and affection everyday. I have dealt with senior dogs and am well aware of their limits. It is my promise that I will make any dog of any age as comfortable and as happy as possible.
About: My dog is the most important thing to me. Therefore I know what it’s like to worry about whether my fur baby is in good hands. I will treat your baby just as I treat mine and will try to make their time away from you less stressful for both of you. You can be assured that they will be in good hands. Whether it’s for a walk or to take care of them for a couple days. I understand that all pets are different and they all have different needs. I will try to know as much as possible to provide the best service to you and your pet. I have a lot of personal experience with dogs in my own personal life and would love to share that experience with all :)
“Absolutely Amazing!!!! Jenna is so kind to my crazy dog and he calms down immediately when she walks in. She sent pictures and updates from every walk. I felt very comfortable having her in my home and with my precious furbaby. Highly recommend!!”
About: As a lifelong pet owner with two dogs and a cat of my own, I love staying active with the animals in my care.

My schedule allows for plenty of dedicated pet time. I'm available for morning walks, Friday evening starting after 7pm, and I have open availability all day on Saturdays and Sundays. Your pet will receive constant attention, treats, and lots of outdoor playtime! I provide a safe, fun environment with a large fenced-in yard where dogs can run freely. I keep fresh water bowls outside at all times and have plenty of toys, frisbees, and bones to keep them entertained. My two friendly dogs love making new friends, but I can also use crates if a pet needs their own space. Whether in my home or yours, safety and happiness are my top priorities!
About: I am a 28 year old animal lover! I spoil every dog I encounter and believe dogs are better than some people. I treat all animals with love and respect, just as I treat my three current dogs.

As of now, I am available 6 days a week until about 12:30pm to walk your pups and/or stop by your home to make sure they are good for when you get home!

One client at a time.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs in my family for 10 years and helped my grandmother care for her three litters of puppies. I’m patient, caring, and love being around dogs. Since I enjoy staying active, I’m also a great fit for pets that need plenty of walks and exercise. I currently work part time and in grad school, so I have flexibility to accommodate most schedules to give your dog the care and attention it needs. I can walk your dog, check in on them, or stay overnight in your home, making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away.

I cannot thank her enough !
