About: I have been around dogs my whole life, I took animal science in High school and worked in dog related jobs for about 5 years. I currently have five of my own fur babies. 3 pups and 2 cats I currently am out of work for the summer and I have open availability. Late August I will return to work as a preschool teacher and will be available evenings and weekends. I will take care of your dog as if they were my own, following all the requirements that you set up before hand. Giving your dog all my attention and love.

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs since I was 8 years old. My friends have relied on me to watch over their babies, take them out for walks, feed and even bathe them. I also know how to grind/cut nails. I worked at a doggy daycare/boarding for dogs. I worked with a lot of dogs, all different sizes. I really love working with dogs they are my happiness and I just truly love them! I’m currently a stay at home mom. I’m available Monday-Sunday . During those days I have plenty of time to play with your fur babies. We always have an amazing time! I have one friendly dog that will keep your fur babies company. They love to play and run around. I don’t not have a fenced yard so I’ll have to walk them out on a leash. Safety first always!

About: Growing up, I had a Lab and then a Boxer and two cats. I've also helped my aunt at the doggie daycare she runs out of her home where she often has more than 10 dogs at a time. Everything from a Great Pyrenees to German Shepherds to Doodles to Yorkies. And it's always so much fun! The care I'll give your pets will really depend on them and their needs. There's a very large unfenced grass area behind my apartment building that would be perfect for walks or play. And there are multiple parks in the area too we could explore. At yours, I'd keep whatever their normal routine is. Whether that's taking walks, throwing the ball or just sitting and chilling and scratching butts. Their butts of course!

About: I have taken care of multiple relatives dogs for as long as I can remember. I was responsible for feeding them (whether it was regular dog food or a special concoction), taking them out for walks, giving them pets and taking them to the park. I have mainly taken care of older dogs, but they were big and energetic! I also have grown up with a cats, Guinea pigs, fish and hermit crabs at one point! I’m currently a full time college student, but I have room in my schedule to take care of your animals and give them all the love and play they need! Growing up with animals, I am very receptive on how to take care of them. I have dog sat for multiple people and I have had cats my whole life! I will make sure your pet is comforted and well cared for in your home and I will make sure no harm comes to your animal or house.

“Elaina is one of the best dog walkers I’ve ever had and I have had over a dozen. Very punctual, you can set your watch by her arrival coming and going. Takes her services seriously and seems to be fond of my dog. I wish I had found her earlier.”

“Vera is amazing!! She's reliable and dependable. She always comes o. Time and is respectful of our place. She's great with communicating with us and kylee (our pit mix) loves her!”

Erik C.

“Emily is the best! She has been doing weekly walks with my husky and he loves it. She always gives me great reports on how the walk went and let’s me know if anything happened I need to know. This week she let me know he had a few instances of vomiting during the walk and turned out he had an obstruction that required emergency surgery. Without her due diligence I might not have caught it in time. Such a fantastic pet guru!”

Kathryn B.

“Amber is great! Showed up on time, actually walked my dog a good distance (thank you!) and played with her in the yard. Much appreciated!”

About: I’ve been pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors for years, caring for dogs and cats of all ages and personalities. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m especially patient with shy or senior pets, always making sure they feel safe and loved. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your pet is in caring, capable hands. Pet care fits easily into my schedule. I work a part-time job that usually starts at 5pm, but I don’t work every day—so I’m often available for morning, midday, and even evening or nighttime visits. I’m flexible, reliable, and always happy to adjust to your pet’s routine and needs. I follow your pet’s routine closely and always prioritize their safety and comfort. Whether it’s walks, meals, or just company, I make sure they feel at home. I also send regular updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.

About: I have had pets; mainly dogs my whole life. It’s so important to give them attention, play with them and to walk them on a consistent basis for them to be happy. I have done this for numerous people over the past 5 years I currently am looking to care for dogs and to walk dogs to supplement my income. I am very ambitious and love being outdoors walking my own dogs; it’s vital for them to get that exercise daily! I have two high energy dogs that are very friendly and playful; they would love to share their happiness and walks with other dogs! I have administered medications and often gives bathes after walks- especially after they roll in something on the walk or run thru mud.

About: I have loved animals my entire lifetime. My journey started with horseback riding at the age of 5. I grew up working with horses and doing plenty of barn chores. Fast forward some years and I slowly changed over from horses to dogs!! I always had a family dog, but, once I got my first Siberian Husky 5 years ago- that changed everything! We got our Husky at 8 weeks and unfortunately he was very sick. But, with lots of TLC, he is now a healthy and happy boy! When I got him, I decided to reach out to a local trainer in my town who helped me with obedience training through Ghost’s first year. It taught me so much about the breed and just how spectacular & smart they are. With a breed like a husky, training can be the difference between an unruly dog who destroys your house or a well behaved dog. I’ve learned so much from the breed and dogs in general. I actually prefer my dogs (and animals in general) over most humans lol just kidding…kind of :) I’ve since gotten a second husky pup who is now 2. She followed the same training regimen as my first and is the sweetest, sassiest little girl. I have a lot of experience with puppy training and am a natural animal soother. Animals, especially dogs, tend to gravitate towards me. I think they can sense how much I appreciate them and love them. I continue to learn everything I can about training, different breeds, etc. and recently took a class on the science of dog training. I have some experience with training adult dogs, but, have had much more experience with puppies. My dogs know many commands- I’ll list a few of the basics: heal, walking heal, sit, down, stay, the word “no”, etc. They even press a button to tell me when they want a treat! I have a lot of fun teaching them. Even though they are trained, I continue to test them periodically at home and out of the house to maintain their skills. I have a fenced in yard at home but we still love to go for walks around our road, go for “Sniffari’s”, hikes, dog play dates, etc. I also work closely with my sister, who has her basic training knowledge with adult dogs- so together we are able to take on dogs from puppy age to adult age. I also groom- although I am not licensed to do so, I started grooming family pets years ago. I currently groom 2 golden doodles and 1 schnauzer/poodle mix. I have ever expanding knowledge and patience for days because I truly love my furry friends. My life revolves around my fur babies and I enjoy spending time with all dogs- and maybe even your dog one day if you are reading this til the end :) feel free to inquire more or if you have any questions about anything at all! I currently am taking a summer break from my part time work, so my schedule is flexible. I generally make a lot of time for my dogs and doing dog activities, so, I can easily add another dog into the mix or make time for your dog separate from my own dogs. If Rover goes well, I would love to continue working with dogs as more of a full time role instead of only here and there. Because dogs are such a huge part of my life already, I would love to have Rover work be my main occupation. They say you never work a day in your life if you love what you do, and I truly love working with animals and always have. At home I have a fenced in yard with cameras covering all angles of the outdoor areas. I also have indoor cameras for when I am away (for my own dogs). I have toys for playing inside and outside the house and even though I have a fence I would still watch closely to make sure everything is ok- especially in the beginning when things are new or a dog is coming over for the first time. If your animal is going to be mingling with my own, I would make sure that they are introduced to each other before letting them play together. Because I have two, I would introduce them one by one to your animal to be sure they are comfortable. If for some reason one or both don’t mix, then they can be easily separated. Obviously this will vary depending on if my own dogs are involved or not. My dogs don’t have an aggressive bone in their body, but, huskies sometimes tend to be a bit aloof and socially inept lol so they tend to rub some dogs the wrong way but not in an aggressive manner. They are just a couple of goobers 🙂 but so, so friendly and absolutely love playing with their established doggy friends and meeting new ones! I have never once seen either of my dogs snap, bite, etc to any other dog, EVER. I would still supervise efficiently to ensure all animals safety, no matter what. If I am at your residence- I will listen closely to what you need for your dog and follow those instructions. If there are not exact instructions, I will do my best to ensure the safety and happiness of your dog. Upon meeting new animals I like to get down on their level and let them give me all the sniffs they need to get to know me and maybe even a treat, too! If I feel like the dog is unsure or skiddish, I might spend a little more time giving them attention before going for a walk, etc. because I feel it’s important to establish a relationship prior to going forward.
