About: Hello! I’m a lifelong animal lover who’s excited to meet and spend time with your pet—whether that’s for walks, playtime, or overnight care. I have experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, from playful puppies to gentle seniors and everything in between. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, happy, and at home. I will take the time to get to know your furry friend’s unique personality and needs to provide a tailored experience full of comfort, fun, and care! Whether your pet loves fetches, belly rubs, or brisk walks, I’m here to give them the attention and affection they deserve as I’d hope for someone caring for my own pet. Looking forward to meeting them! I’m currently working on a flexible schedule so I will have time to accommodate your pet at any time of day! I’d love to make sure your dog is getting attention during your busy week or out-of-town weekend! I love sending photos and daily reports of my visits with your pets. Along with general and attentive care for your furry friend, I will make sure their environment is clean, provide brushing or medication as needed, and be responsive to any questions you may have!
“Dakota is so good with my puppy Maggie and adult dog Callie! She is an excellent communicator and my girls enjoy their visits very much - the pictures show it!”
About: I don't have much pet care experience. I had a very energetic Jack Russell Terrier, Scotty, from age 7 to 14. As I was a kid, my parents took most of the responsibility of caring for him. However, I loved Scotty dearly, as well as other dogs and cats too. I'll do whatever I can to make sure your pet is cared for. I'm free for the summer! I'm available for most of July and August, except for the last two weeks in August. I start school full-time starting in September. If your dog is small or medium-sized, I can keep control of them on walks and ensure they remain safe while outdoors. With pet-sitting, I make sure to keep a close eye on your pets and adhere to any rules you have in order to ensure your pet is safe and cared for.
“Michele is absolutely dependable and so caring. I asked her last minute to walk Cora and she did not hesitate for a second. Will no doubt use Michele again. She is amazing!”
“One of the best walkers I’ve had so far. Definitely will be a repeat booker.”
“Jay is wonderful with my dogs. They are always so happy when he shows up and my little one eats better for him than she does me. Lol. It's so wonderful to come home to healthy happy dogs who didn't have to be kenneled because we went away. Jay is a Godsend in our busy lives and I would highly recommend him to anyone wanting great care for their babies.”
About: I’ve had a dog since I was 6 then I got another one that was all my responsibility when I was 15. I went through basic, intermediate, and advanced training and I hold titles in all of them for my dog. I’ve dog sat my friends little Yorkie mix and I myself have a 90 pound golden doodle and a 45 pound Irish troodle so I’ve been with and handled dogs of all sizes. I’ve always had a love for animals and not to brag but all the animals I meet love me too lol. I am very responsible and have been taking care of dogs for a long time now. I am a recent college graduate with a part time job. My schedule is pretty consistent and flexible week to week so feel free to reach out to inquire about scheduling:) If I am caring for a pet in your home all I ask is that you give me some instructions of what you would like me to do and I will be happy to do that.
