About: Hi! Currently we have a 7 month old toy Australian shepherd puppy. I am a very active person that loves to love on pups by taking them for walks, playing in my fenced yard or offering snuggles! You can expect a total dog lover who will follow your rules and make your pup feel comfortable. I prefer smaller dogs with lots of energy because I love to walk dogs! I work from home. I enjoy taking the boarded pups for 1-2 walks per day. Our senior pup recently passed but I love the oldies too! Lots of love for them! I have a large, fenced yard and many routes for walks. I am an avid runner and can run with your dog at a pace of 8-9 minutes per mile for a minimum of 1 mile and maximum of 6 miles, after that I get tired!

About: I have spent every year of my life with a dog by my side. I’ve been taking care of dogs for my friends and family for the last 15 years while they go out of town. Which led me to adopting my own fur baby about 5 years ago. I am currently unemployed, so I am available all day for walking or pet sitting. My dog has grown used to me being gone for at least 8 hours a day. I am capable of crating dogs, taking them for walks, giving treats, feeding them, making sure they have plenty of water, playing fetch, providing any necessary medicines. Whatever your fur baby needs.

About: I’ve spent a few years volunteering at a dog shelter and also worked on a farm with dogs around every day, so I’ve gotten pretty good at reading dog behavior and knowing how to keep them safe and comfortable. I’m calm under pressure and know how to handle situations like a loose dog or a pet acting out of character without panicking. I really care about creating a space where animals feel safe and seen. I know pets pick up on our energy, so I always try to show up grounded, kind, and present. Every dog is different, and I respect that — whether they need space, a long run, or just someone to quietly hang out with them I am fully available for daytime, evening, and weekend walks. I am currently available for walks and house-sits but can not accept dogs to board as my family of cats will not be happy with visitors. I have three cats who are quite territorial, so I won’t be able to board animals in my home. However, I am quite active and able to run with your dogs to release their energy. I’m also adamant on giving enough play time and keeping up with hygiene by picking up their waste. As it’s getting to be a hot summer, I would definitely watch out for hot asphalt to protect your pups toe pads.

Haily was absolutely wonderful, and I can’t recommend her enough! She took care of my 14 year old Maltese Poodle, Sisco, for a week while I was in Colorado, walking him twice a day and making sure he was fed and well cared for. Normally, I have family watch him because he tends to get anxious when I’m away, so I was a little nervous leaving him with someone new. Haily completely put my mind at ease. She was so kind and patient with him, and it was obvious from all the updates, photos, and detailed commentary that she genuinely cared about him. Seeing how happy and comfortable Sisco looked in every picture meant so much to me. It made being away from him so much easier, and I knew he was in great hands. Thank you, Haily, for taking such amazing care of my little guy. I would absolutely book with you again!

Elyse has taken care of my dog for the past two years while I am away at work or out of town. Unfortunately we moved away so we can no longer utilize her services. She was always super flexible with her schedule and always did her best to help me out even if it was short notice. I know she loved my dog and enjoyed being with her. I never had to worry! Thank you,Elyse, for all your help over the last couple years!

About: My family has 2 dogs, one we’ve had for almost 10 years and another we’ve had for about 2 years. I have been watching dogs in my neighborhood for about 10 years. I have mostly conducted drop in visits but have walked dogs on occasion. For a little over 2 years I worked at a doggy daycare where I gained experience administered medications to dogs. Drop-ins and walks can easily be fit into my schedule. I can sometimes be flexible with times but days are set in stone. If something comes up or I feel I will be late for a drop-in or walk I will be sure to let you know as soon as possible. For drop-ins I will follow requests as closely as I can. If there is any medication that needs to be administered I am unfortunately only comfortable administering oral medications. With walks I can either bring my own bags or you can provide them just let me know in advance. For both of these services I require a meet and greet before the services begin so that you dog(s) can become familiar with me and we can go over any necessary info.

About: I have many years of experience with pet sitting. This includes feeding, overnight care, taking them for walks, cleaning up after them, etc. I have experience with both cats and dogs. I am an elementary school music teacher. I love being outdoors and currently walk at least 3 miles myself each day. Having dogs to walk would work with what I already do on my own time, plus bring me so much enjoyment. I am reliable and can provide references. I look forward to hearing from you and working with you! Thank you so much for taking the time to read this! -Ciara Smith I work as an elementary school music teacher. I have summers off so I have a lot of flexibility in my availability. Otherwise during the schoolyear, I work until 3pm and then I am free all night. I do not care for pets in my own home. In youe home, I will carefully follow all instructions given. If not written down, I will write them down myself. I will ensure all safety measures with the owner before the visit and have a list of all the things I need to know before being put in charge of their pets care to ensure the besy safety of them.

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and my very first job was walking around my neighborhood asking people if I could walk their dogs. I genuinely love the company of dogs and treat animals with the same level of care, patience, and attention you would give a family member. I’ve grown up around Boxers my whole life, but I also love small dogs and have always adored larger breeds like Mastiffs and Rottweilers. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for. I currently work part-time as a server, so my schedule is very flexible throughout the week. This gives me plenty of time to dedicate to walks, drop-ins, playtime, and making sure your pets get the attention and consistency they deserve. I’m available most weekdays and weekends and try my best to accommodate different schedules whenever possible. I treat every pet with patience, attention, and care because I truly believe animals deserve to be treated like family. I pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions, leash safety, behavior, and any special needs your pet may have so they feel comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. I also believe communication is important, so I’ll always keep owners updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.

The dogs in my home receive lots of stimulation through puzzles, training and zoomies. No matter each dog’s needs or abilities, my time with your pet will be a fun, positive experience.

Jake has been excellent to work with! In just a short time he’s won over our dog Cooper who is both stubborn and has anxious. He’s also reliable, always showing up on time, and does a great job of communicating and updating us on how Cooper did on his walk.
