Dog Walking John Ringling

About: - Currently, I WFH part time so I have flexibility to take care of your fur baby. - I have a lovely bunny (Bunzo) that I had with me for 3.5 years and have treated him like a prince. He gets unlimited hay, greens, and a couple treats daily. He runs around inside the house from time to time, but likes to relax under my bed. - I have friends and family whom have dogs and cats that I have taken care of over the years. - Personality-wise: my friends and family would say I am very loving, caring, and bubbly so I will show that same love to every pet I meet and care for. Currently, I am a part time WFH accountant. I work 20 hours a week, that includes working one day in person on Thursdays 1-5pm. When I am home, I have the ability the take your pet for a walk or monitor them outside in the fenced backyard. I can bring my laptop/phone around to do work on the go too. We have a fenced-in backyard where your pet can roam around. I will have my bunny around in the house, but I can keep him in a separate room to roam around, if need be. I will be happy to walk dogs in nearby spots they enjoy.

“We highly recommend Taylor! Last minute travel left us in the lurch, and she was able to fit in some time with our fur-baby each day. She was easy to communicate with, reliable, and sent us pics from each visit (where we could see our boy was super happy to see her.) We will absolutely reach out to Taylor again in the future.”

About: Every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their people are away. My goal is to make your time apart easy—for your pet by keeping their routine familiar, and for you by knowing they’re in caring, capable hands. I’ve been caring for animals for 15+ years, starting in high school by helping my mom with her pet-sitting clients and continuing throughout college and beyond. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, from growing up with Labradors to fostering dogs and cats and working at a local zoo. I’m comfortable caring for pets with all kinds of personalities, energy levels, and needs, including puppies, high-energy dogs, seniors, and more sensitive pets. Some of my most special relationships have come from caring for pets over the years. I’ve had families return to me time and time again while they travel, giving me the chance to build a genuine bond with their pets. There’s something incredibly rewarding about earning that trust and eventually being greeted like a familiar friend rather than a sitter. I work remotely from home, so I’m able to be around for much of the day and provide plenty of companionship and attention. I naturally adapt to each pet’s routine, whether that means long walks and playtime or simply being a calm, steady presence. I’m also very respectful of the homes I stay in and take pride in leaving everything clean, tidy, and just as I found it. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet and your home with someone else, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I’d love to give your pets the same care, patience, and affection I would give my own. 🤍 I work from home for a local tech company. I am very flexible with my schedule and am available for walks, potty breaks and playtime throughout the day. Weekends and overnights are welcome too! Your pet’s safety and your home’s care are my top priorities. I’m a careful, respectful house guest who takes the responsibility of caring for both seriously. With 16+ years of pet-sitting experience, I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, personalities, and needs, and I’m attentive to their routines, your instructions, and the little details that keep them safe and comfortable. I’m also naturally very tidy and take a lot of pride in caring for someone’s home. I’m respectful of their space and keep things clean, organized, and well cared for throughout my stay. To me, the job isn’t complete until you walk back through your door and feel like you’re coming home to your own space—just as nice, if not nicer, than when you left.

About: I've spent almost a lifetime taking care of cats and dogs, and I find the bond between animal and owner to be one of the most powerful things on earth. I've been called upon to care for friends and families to pet-sit for them many times throughout my life. I currently have an open weekday schedule so I'm fully available for any and all of your pets basic needs. Weekends are also fully available. Pet safety is a top priority for me, all feeding and walking instructions will be precisely followed. I like to spend a little extra time with pets during feedings just to observe and give them company.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and have over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for pets! From feeding, walking, bathing, and playtime to making sure they feel loved and comfortable, caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I’m also a proud dog mom to my Golden Retriever, Gus, who keeps me on my toes and has given me plenty of experience with active, energetic pups! I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I always make it a priority to give them the individual attention they deserve. Whether your pup needs a long walk to burn off some energy, a quick check-in during the day, or someone to keep them company while you’re away, I’m happy to help! I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care, and I promise to treat yours with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, happy, and loved while giving their owners complete peace of mind! I work in real estate and have a flexible schedule, allowing me to easily accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine to make sure they get the attention and care they deserve! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities! I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their familiar environment. I always respect your home, follow your pet’s routine, and provide plenty of updates while you’re away!

“Molly was extremely nice and did a great job walking my dog! She was flexible, communicated well, and always sent pictures of him on his walk. I would definitely recommend her to a friend and would rebook her in the future. 5 stars!”

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was a little girl. I simply adore pets of any kind. If given the chance with your fur baby, I will treat them like my own.

“Tara and Brittany were friendly and I could easily tell they were dog lovers. This was just 1 walk but they were on time and it seemed to go well. I will look to Tara & Brittany next time I need assistance with my dog. Possibly for an overnight.”

About: I’ve had family dogs my whole life and have enjoyed caring for them since I can remember. I currently live with my pet bird, snake, and two lizards. My professional experience is in the wildlife field so I am passionate about animals of all shapes and sizes. I have experience in enrichment creation and enjoy finding new and exciting ways to keep your dog mentally and physically healthy. I’m currently in my off-season for wildlife work, so my schedule is fairly flexible. I will be starting a new job at the end of September but can make consistent weekly arrangements. Living with a bird, I am constantly cleaning so this is part of my routine when caring for other peoples pets as well. I am able to bring your pets in my car if needed as well.

About: I have taken care of puppies all the way up to 18 year old elderly dogs. I have a lot of patience for dogs that may be shy or timid, and need that extra special caring person. But i also love going for dog walks ! I am dedicated to working with pets and whatever they may need. I love doing overnight care but also enjoy going for dog walks when needed I love when pet parents leave me a guide for their pets. This helps the pet stay on their routines and feel as comfortable as can be.

“Really came through in a pinch!!”

About: I've owned a variety of dogs of every breed and size, (Gr8Danes, pekingese, doodles, terriers, the list goes on) all from a very young age. I've had puppies, to special needs seniors... All of whom have different skills sets required for their care. Im currently a stay at home Mom. One of my children is a 2 time cancer survivor and requires a flexible schedule due to her weakened immunity. My schedule is pretty packed as a busy mom before and after school... but my availability during the day and on weekends is usually fairly open for visits, walks, cuddles or any type of care. I'm more than able to follow any schedules you may want to follow. Including eating/medication times as I know and respect how sensitive some animals are.

About: I am a lover of all animals, furry, feathered & scaly. Seriously, ALL animals! I’m that lady that will stop to assist a turtle crossing the road. I’ve volunteered to rescue injured birds while at the beach, saved a green anole lizard from a hard freeze, fostered close to a dozen cats til they found their fur-ever homes, rescued a baby red-eared slider turtle the size of a quarter from the middle of the road and raised him to be happy and healthy until he was big and strong enough to be safely returned to the pond. I have no fear of animals. I truly understand and listen to them and know how to read their body language. I often understand animals better than people ☺️ I will always go out of my way for animals. I’m not talking about just wanting to stop and pet every dog or cat I see and give it hugs and kisses…I definitely do! ….but truly doing whatever I can to better their lives. I got my first cat when I was 7 years old, and since then have personally rescued and loved more than 20 kitties, and 2 dogs. I’ve owned and maintained multiple freshwater aquariums. Cared for birds, lizards and snakes. I have experience with dog and cat training, solving behavioral issues, and administering medicine whether it be a pill or injections. I have a very flexible schedule. I host music, bingo, and trivia nights a couple days a week around town. I also work as a stage hand, setting up lighting sound, and sets for concerts and events. Several times a year I work at our local Renaissance festivals. In between all of that and caring for your fur babies, I’m also an artist. I’m not able to board animals in my home unless in very specific circumstances due to the size of my space and the other animals in my home. I have four cats of my own and they’re my life and my whole world, but I will give your fur babies, the same love and attention that I give to my own.

“Our experience with Tiffany was great. She was very responsive and clearly loves dogs. We hired her to come in and walk our dog when we knew we were going to be gone all day. Tiffany was on time, communicated well and sent along a very cute photo. We’d hire her again.”
