About: “Dog fever” doesn’t even begin to cover it — my girlfriend and I are counting down the days until we can bring home a new puppy. I’m the kind of person who can’t pass a dog on the street without stopping to say hello, so you can imagine how excited I get around animals. I’m a private contractor working remotely with a very flexible schedule. I can shift my day to day schedule and adapt to most needs you may have. I am a very attentive person with patience and much affection. I hope to keep your pets routine consistent & stress-free with exercise, playtime, or just extra attention.

“Taylor is prompt, professional, and very good with dogs! She clearly has experience dealing with dogs and was able to adapt to some changing conditions we had. My dogs loved her and got all the exercise they needed when she stopped by. I will definitely use Taylor again!”

About: I am a retired high school educator, artist, outdoor enthusiast, and animal lover. I am a five-star walker and a very reliable and compassionate caregiver for your pet. I often feel we are kindred spirits and I am totally intrigued by their individual personalities. I have cared for dogs both personally or professionally for most of my life and willingly care for your pet and their individual needs. Whether it be exploring adventure, padding the neighborhood (walking or running), gifting belly rubs, or providing hydration & nutrition, your pet’s needs will be personalized while in my care with much love and affection. In the future, I hope to rehabilitate dogs and work with their family members to provide a safe space filled with discipline, affection, and a true sense of belonging. You can depend on me and trust that your pet will feel cherished and loved while in my care. Since retiring from teaching, my hours of 1:1 attention have expanded. I am now available to give full weekday hours to your pet in addition to my time during weekends. While caring for pets in parks and neighborhoods, I keep them on a leash during all walks and runs. If we are lounging in the yard I provide the dog an opportunity to relax on a lead while I am outdoors with them. For owners who allow their dogs to visit Lakewood Dog Park’s expansive exercise area, I monitor those dogs while they run and play off leash under my constant supervision. While indoors, I follow the rules that my pet owners prefer whether it be cuddling on furniture and slumbering in bed with me or crating them within their cozy caves with their favorite snuggle toy. I do everything I can to mirror the eating, playing, and napping comfort with the same positive experiences your pet receives in your living home while throwing in a little extra spoiling 🐶❤️🐶

“Dorothy was outstanding coming to our house to feed and let out our 2 dogs. She was great with the dogs, responds quickly to questions and sent many photos while we traveled out of state for a wedding. We trusted her and did not worry about our dogs. I would highly recommend her services.”

I’m experienced with structured routines, leash handling, and reading dog behavior to ensure a safe and positive environment. Whether your dog needs exercise, structure, or just extra affection, I deliver dependable, top-tier care every time. My schedule is currently flexible as I am in between work allowing me to be available morning-evenings. Whether you’re looking for a morning walk or running late from work I can be there. I try to keep things as normal as possible for your dog while you’re gone. I follow your routine, make sure they’re well-fed, walked, and getting plenty of attention. I’m also very respectful of your home and keep everything clean and in order.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats my entire life. I grew up with multiple dogs and two cats for the majority of time. Robbie is our 1 year old Golden Retriever and he loves all dogs. Your dogs will love having a buddy and we will tire them out for you! It’s a puppy play date I work from home so I have plenty of time to walk and care for your pets! I have no other animals at this time- devoting all my attention to those I watch! I have a fenced in yard in a quiet neighborhood. I work from home and offer many walks and hours of play time for your pets!

Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I have a very flexible schedule. I’m available throughout the day and early evening, and I build my commitments around the needs of the pets I care for. Whether a dog needs a consistent daily walk, occasional drop‑ins, or extra time and attention, I’m able to adjust accordingly. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so making space for it in my routine is simple and life‑giving. Caring for pets—whether in my home or a client’s—is always hands‑on, attentive, and rooted in genuine love for the canine. My own dog is my “fur child,” so I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, seen, and included. At home, we play ball, go for walks, I home‑cook her meals, groom her, and she sleeps right beside me. She’s part of my daily life and activities. That same level of care, intuition, and presence carries into every client’s home. I respect each dog’s routine, personality, and comfort level, and I make sure they feel secure and cared for. Whether it’s following feeding instructions, maintaining training habits, or simply offering companionship and affection, I provide a calm, trustworthy environment where pets can relax and thrive. My goal is always to treat your dog with the same love and attentiveness I give my own.

About: I was raised with dogs and cats growing up and believe that nothing can match the unconditional love of a pet in a home. I have almost 10 yrs experience boarding dogs and cats, the last 8 yrs with Rover. Now with a steady long term following and over 100-5 star reviews, I am committed as ever to help your pet feel at home in my home. At this time most of my work is inside the of the house. I love to go for walks around the neighborhood and could take your dog too. I believe a walked dog is a happy dog. I also get as much information about your pet so that I can try to be consistent with what they are used to at home. I accept dogs up to 23 lbs. About my yard My backyard has a chainlink fence and I am on a 1/2 acre lot. It is secure with lots of room to run and play. My patio door leads right to the backyard so that I can monitor your pet when outside. My experience administering medication I am comfortable with administering medication. I allow your pet full access to the whole house. This includes furniture if they are allowed. There is a security gate around the front door for extra protection. I like to walk your pets and play fetch too! I will treat your pet the way I would want someone to care for mine. Like one of the family. :) I am only working outside the house part-time in the afternoon a couple of days a week so I am home alot. I like to go for walks, weather permitting so I would bring your dog along if desired. I set aside play time and invite them to be in whatever room I am in. I have a sliding patio door in the kitchen on the main floor where I mostly hang out. I let pups out often in case they don't know how to tell me at first. I also set aside time for walks and playtime. I try to keep the same feeding schedule that your pet has at home when possible and that goes for treats as well. I always make sure there is plenty of water and comfortable places for them to lay around and even look out the window for their paw patrol duty. Oh and we all love cat naps!

“Mallory takes great care of Sasha and Sasha lives her walks and play with Mallory. We try to use her every time we aren’t able to take care of Sasha ourselves. She is great.”

“Dayna is fantastic. My dogs really liked her. She was extremely flexible as my plans changed several times. She sent lots of pictures and let me know what was happening with my fur babies every step of the way. I will definitely trust my babies with her in the near future. Highly recommend her.”

About: I have been around pets my whole life and know how to read their body language. I am respectful if they need space and let them warm up to me. My family had large dogs and cats growing up that I helped care for and train. I helped care for 3 litters of puppies and I trained the puppies we kept. I also had a cat who was spoiled with love and lots of playtime. I work at a school and don't work during the summer, so I am very flexible. During the school year my availability will be afternoons/evenings on weekdays. I love cats and dogs of all breeds and sizes. I will love your pet like my own! I truly enjoy taking care of cats and dogs and giving them lots of play and affection. I always respect their space if they are afraid, but I am skilled at earning their trust and helping them warm up to me.

“Teena did a great job taking care of my cats! They seemed very comfortable with her. Teena sent me a note with pictures of every visit, including any behaviors that were fun or needed a question answered. It’s good to know I can rely on her for future care!”

About: I’ve taken care of a variety of dogs since I was little and have loved every second. I was always helping out my family’s and neighbor’s pets - and now I finally got my own puppy in August of 2025. Trained him all on my own and he is the sweetest boy! I work at a kindergarten with special education during the school year. Once June hits, I will be officially out for summer break and plan on focusing all my attention on Rover. I will have all the time on my hands to drop in and take care of your pets! My 10 month old dachshund is very well taken care of. He is my pride and joy - always getting all the cuddles and exercise he needs. I believe that all pets require the same love and attention that humans do and I treat them with that idea in mind.

“I've booked drop-ins with Jennifer multiple times and she is a great, reliable sitter with great attention to detail. She's very knowledgeable about cats and their cues, makes me more comfortable leaving my kitty under he care 🐈‍⬛”
