About: I have grown up with animals my entire life. I grew up with horses, cats, dogs, guinea pigs, rabbits, and chickens. I have done some volunteering at the Cherryland Animal Shelter and have taken some of the dogs on some fun adoption events. I don’t have any pets of my own at this point in my life and would really like to be able to spend time with yours when you want to get away. I like to visit my son who has two dogs, a black lab an American bulldog so I can take them for walks and cuddle up with them. I am single and own my own home so I definitely could bring your dog to my house if necessary. One of my favorite hobbies is walking so I definitely can’t wait to take your dog/s for walks. I am a nurse that works with the electronic medical record and currently working from home.

About: I love taking care of animals because I like to reciprocate the love they give us. I feel i relate to animals very well and enjoy seeing them happy. I recently retired and have always wanted to work with.animals. I live in an area that is very suitable to dogs as many neighbors have pets and I know most neighbors from working my dog. I make sure the pets get exercise, food and water. There will be plenty of toys and things to keep them busy. They can sleep in comfort either in or out of be what is preferred.

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats for decades. I would love the opportunity to watch your pets. I do have a dog of my own. I am retired so I have plenty of time to watch your pets. Give me a try. I’m looking g forward to it. Thank you. I have one small dog named Gracie. I would walk your dog on a leash. Attention given to your pet. Thank you for your business.

About: I’ve taken care of animals for more than half my life. Which has grown into building my own passion serving animals in many ways. I care for animals locally, will travel up to 50 miles, can provide care inside your home, provide walks, give rides to the vet office or groomer, I can give medications, bathe your animal in your home, and I can provide fun fulfilling adventures and activities! With having a flexible schedule I can focus on providing quality care to your pet/pets. 7 days a week with flexible morning, afternoon and evening hours. I’m able to care for pets inside of your home. Rather this needs to be letting them out into a fenced in yard, walking them off property or on property, taking them out of or putting them into a crate/ kennel. Crate cleanup if needed and dog poo cleanup from your yard each time I have a visit.

About: My motto is: "Dogs, kids, and mosquitos love me!" Darned if I know why--must be one of my "superpowers" as they say. I have taken care of senior dogs, most recently for two weeks with Georgia near Bangor, Maine. I spent 3 and a half months with Xander in Berkeley, California. Also a month with Lucy & Charlie (Brown?) in Topanga County, CA. I've also enjoyed being with Toby, Latka, and Sookie in San Diego CA. Plus, Luna and yes, another Luna in Los Angeles. Special skills include a long attention span, creative mind, ability to play for hours, up and at 'em early in morning. Also: laying down with dogs and not waking up with fleas! I am a freelance journalist and author who writes books at home. Thus, I rarely leave the house, except to go to a library to work there. Four tomes so far, working on #5, with animals to be with and love--can't beat it! Xander, Sookie, Toby, Ted, Latka...if only dogs & cats could speak! (Sookie did do some kind of sing-song when I played harmonica...) The key to my care is slowing down and showing enormous patience, using experience, and giving mucho attention to love my fellow creatures enormously.

About: With over 10 years of experience in dog walking, dog sitting, and house sitting, I’ve had the pleasure of building lasting relationships with my clients. I spent about 6 years caring for a client’s dog while they traveled to Peru, providing daily walks, feeding, and plant care, until they relocated to New Mexico. I also cared for another client’s two dogs for over a year, walking them daily and keeping their home in order. For another client, I would take their dog on hikes in the woods nearby every weekday while they were at work. I’m happy to offer flexible services like plant care as well—watering and tending to your plants while you’re away. You’ll always receive regular check-ins with photos to keep you connected and reassured. Whether its dog walks, house sitting, or plant care, I’m here to make sure your pets feel loved and your home runs smoothly. As a self-employed individual with a flexible schedule, I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pup! I'm committed to prioritizing my bookings and ensuring your dog gets the care and exercise they need. Whether you have a specific routine or unique needs, I’m happy to work with you to create a customized plan. I also offer long-term services for ongoing care and peace of mind. Safety, Trust & Environment When caring for pets in my home or your home, I always prioritize safety first. I carefully check the space for any potential hazards and ensure everything is secure, from doors and gates to any items that could be dangerous. You can trust that your pet will be in a safe, accident-free environment. Trust is key in building a strong connection with both pets and their owners. I keep you updated with regular check-ins, so you always know how your pet is doing. If you have any questions or concerns, I’m always here to address them and offer peace of mind. As for the environment, I treat your pet’s space like it’s my own. I ensure their home remains clean and comfortable, following their usual routines to make them feel at ease. I make sure they have access to their favorite places to relax, along with food and water, so they feel as comfortable and secure as they would when you're home.
