“Ashley was terrific. Able to help out at the last minute. Prompt, responsible and best of all, our dog took to her immediately. It was the first time we left our rescue but could not have worked out better. Thank you.”


“Stephanie was fantastic! She checked in on my boy, walked him, fed him, played with him, and sent me lots of updates and pictures! She gave him lots of love and attention, and he loved her! I wasn't worried about him at all while he was in her care. I definitely recommend Stephanie and will use her again when I need someone to watch my baby! ?”

“Desiree is always wonderful with our dogs, but especially yesterday on Valentine’s Day with all the mud! She made sure our dogs paws were clean as well as our floors, and she tidied up my kitchen and den so that I came home to a warm, clean, welcoming house and excited pups after a long day of work! I always appreciate Desiree and how she goes the extra mile!”

About: I am very conscientious and caring. I have owned and cared for a lot of different animals. I will put your mind at ease and will work with you for the top quality care of your pet. I have a wide open daily schedule. I am an early riser and very flexible to meet your needs. I have a horse I visit and want to fill the rest of my time helping others with pet care. I have experienced firsthand how hard it is to get someone you can trust to look after your furry family and realize it is a need in the community. I currently work with my own two dogs every day to ensure they get the exercise needed and make their dog food from scratch so they remain healthy. I understand that your pet needs interaction and breaks from being by themselves while you are away. Commercial pet boarding just doesn’t cut it and takes them out of their safe familiar environment. Raising their stress levels. They don’t need that in your absence. I can take that stress away and make some friends in the process.

About: I stand out because of my reliability, attention to detail, and experience caring for pets of all sizes. As a homeowner, I understand the importance of trust and security. I provide personalized care, whether it’s maintaining feeding schedules, giving companionship, or taking long walks. I’m also experienced in handling energetic pets and senior animals, ensuring they feel comfortable and safe. Happy Pets, Happy Owners! Tail-Wagging care while you're away. I’m highly dependable, organized, and communicative—so you can have peace of mind knowing that your home will be in great hands as well. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine. I’m available on all week days and weekends. This flexibility allows me to provide attentive care, whether it’s daily walks, check-ins, or overnight stays. I prioritize each pet’s needs and schedule to ensure they get the attention and exercise they deserve. Owners can count on me to be reliable, responsive, and dedicated to their pet’s well-being. I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment when caring for pets in their own homes. I follow all instructions provided by pet owners, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any special care needs. Whether I’m house sitting, pet sitting, or dog walking, I ensure pets feel secure and relaxed in their familiar surroundings. I’m attentive to their behavior, provide companionship, and maintain a clean and safe space. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind, knowing their pets and home are in responsible, caring hands.

About: My parents have dogs…what else can I say! Jk but I have a lot of experience, looking forward to making some new friends soon enough. We’ve had pets over the years so I can say that I have had experience dealing with puppies and even dogs, I enjoy taking them on walks because it helps me clear my head too. This dog walk side hustle is definitely worth a shot since I’ll be doing college as well and need some flexibility to do other stuff. I can do around 3-4 daily, I clean houses here and there on my own, the houses I work on are from my friends. Because of this I have spare time to walk some dogs! Since we have dogs in my house, they each have their own kennel and behave fairly well. They wake up early as well around 6

About: I grew up with dogs and a cat, and when I moved into my own home, my husband and I adopted our dog Conley. That was five years ago. I have cared for my own dog, my parents' dog, and my sister's dog as needed over the years including feeding, walking, playing, and giving medication. I'm currently a freelancer, so I have plenty of time to work my schedule based on your needs during the day. My best availability is during the work day, but I can work with you based on your needs. I am able to meet with you to understand the needs of your dog for each walk or visit in your home. If you are interested in a doggy day-care, I have a large fenced backyard. I do have a 50 lb dog who is very sweet and loves to play, so your dog can spend plenty of time running freely and getting any and all energy out.
