Lucas has been great with our pup. He’s very attentive and has great communication. He checks in when he arrives and when he leaves, including lots of photos during his walk. Our dog, Oscar, is always worn out when we get home and you can tell he thoroughly enjoys his walks with Lucas!

About: I lived in a house with 4 dogs and I love them all. I walked them and took them on adventures. I believe dogs are a humans best friend! I currently work part time and want to get healthier. I figured while I try to get healthier it’s better to do it with a furry friend each day! I feed, bathe, and play with all of my doggos. I like to teach them new tricks. To us they are part of our lives but for them we are their life!

Bailie was fantastic! She was prompt and excellent at communicating with me on when she was on her way to walk my pup. She also helped me out last minute. I asked her to walk my dog on a Friday morning and I needed her to stop by mid-day! Would highly recommend.

About: I’m a healthcare worker who loves pets! We had 2 Shetland sheepdogs growing up. I have raised 2 chihuahua puppies, and one needed multiple eye surgeries and follow up care. I have consistently sat for and walked friends dogs (multiple at a time). I have taken in a neighbors cats for months after an emergent situation, and my family members have cats a well. No pet too big or too small! I love them all :) I am currently working part time 2-4 days a week so I will have a lot of time to care for your pets! On my off days I’m available any time, especially day time. I can meet your pet care needs! At home we have an open field but also a fenced in area and two small dogs which can play or be separate. I can follow your schedule as far as potty and walks and am able to walk long distances and play! I know some kiddos can be picky eaters like mine so I will happily embrace your pets quirks! No request is too strange and I will not have any problem respecting you or your pets routine.

Janie made me feel at ease while on my vacation. She walked and played fetch with my dogs. I have two very large German shepherds (very friendly) and she was not intimidated and handled them like a pro. She also checked in on my other animals even though she didn't have too.

About: I've had pets my entire life and have been given more responsibilities with age. I have a dog a cat, and a horse that all need special care from ear infection treatments to prescription drugs. My family and I have also cared for many stray cats and even fostered one's six kittens. I’m currently a college student on summer break and I’m available during many periods in the day. These time periods are perfect for me to give your furry family members a walk, pets, and food! I am super enthusiastic about getting outside and love to go on long walks with my dog. I can also pop in to feed your furry friend and give them attention when you're away.

About: I've worked with animals for almost 20 years. Experience includes: trained groomer through Animal Behavior College (ABC), doggie daycare associate & veterinary technician assistant. I am pet safety & CPR certified. I love pets just as much (if not more) than I love people!! It would be my pleasure to care for your pooch when time isn't on your side!! I was a full-time groomer, but I'm currently taking online courses at Germanna that interfere with a 9-5 schedule. I reserve Sundays for devotionals, but I'm very flexible beyond that! I can pick up your pets for nice long walks or care for them in your home. I'm open to having a discussion to make this as easy for the owners (& their beloved pets!) as possible!
