Dana is a wonderful caring person. Granted she is taking care of my easy, laid back fur baby but he likes her and that’s important. She is dependable and listens to any special instructions I might have. She is also flexible with her calendar and scheduling changes. I would highly recommend Dana and will continue to use her services as needed.

Kim took great care of my dog while I was away for a weekend. She cared for Indie like she was truly her own. She kept me updated and was flexible and timely. I recommend Kim highly for dog walking!

About: I will take care of any pet. I have taken care of cats and dogs but have no animal limits. I rode horses in college, and I volunteer at the humane society on weekends to take care of both cats and dogs! I will make sure your pets are happiest! Pet care is one of my main jobs. Feel free to ring me up anytime day or night for your pet care needs. Truly 24 hours I give fresh water and food every day. I will pet them and play with them if they want, or leave them alone if they want to be left alone.

About: I have been around animals my whole life and pet sitting since middle school. I am comfortable with common house pets like cats and dogs as well as farm animals like horses and donkeys. I am able to house sit as well as farm sit. I have experience giving medications around the clock to special needs dogs so I am comfortable with most situations, even the dogs who do not want to take their medications! I am very patient with young dogs who are potty training, working on obedience skills and learning how to be a good citizen. I like to spend a lot of time outside so your dog(s) will enjoy quality time outside on walks/hikes, playing fetch, and even swimming. You will receive tons of photos (if you like, not everyone wants to be bothered while on vacay!) and daily updates! I work a full time remote job that is very flexible so I am able to take breaks as needed to provide pet care, take dogs for walks, etc. I previously worked at a dog daycare/boarding facility and am comfortable with a variety of dogs and their special needs, as well as clean up! I know what to watch for when it comes to bloat and heat exhaustion, as well as other common and uncommon conditions.

I am currently working part time as I build my clientele and will have time in my schedule for weekday appointments, I can also take appointments on Saturdays. I have a skill set for handling dogs with great care and positive reinforcement. I currently have 2 of my own 1 Belgian shepherd mix and 1 maltishu mix. I will eventually take in over night boards once I have my building on my property fitted out for it appropriately.

About: I have 3 years of experience dog walking and pet sitting! I have watched various dog breeds as well as watched multiple dogs at one time. Pet care is apart of my daily and weekly routine depending on the needs of each pet I pet sit. I enjoy taking pets on walks, to the park and playing with them. I currently live in an apartment so when pet sitting I make sure pets have plenty of time outside on walks and at the pet parks near by.

I have a cat, dog and a ferret of my own and my parents have dogs that I grew up around and still help her take care of. I am experienced with taking care of young animals as well, my mom is a wildlife rehaber so I've helped raise little animals like squirrels, opossums as well as kittens and puppies. I am supper flexible with the specific needs of your pets, I am willing to put in extra time and effort to make sure all pets get what just they need to be their happiest and their healthiest! I'm super excited to meet your pet! Pet care is an all around the clock activity for me! The first thing I do when I wake up is get breakfast ready for my pets, then I try to plan as much of my free time around getting them as much play and entertainment as possible. I love taking my dog on local hiking trails and getting him as much outside time as he needs. I have a nice yard with leads to let them out to potty and a friendly dog that will be thrilled to have playmates! I have many areas near my home to take them on walks every day.

Amanda goes above and beyond with every walk! My dog is crazy so getting photos of him is tough. She brought her real camera along to snag a picture for me in sport mode. Cannot recommend her enough!

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals all my life from my own pets to pets of friends and family, which includes being responsible for them from time to time. I’ve even had prior experience staying overnight and caring for animals that include dogs, cats, and chickens. I am a full time student in law school so my schedule depends on my classes and my school obligations for the week. However, I try hard to manage all bookings I get if the owners are willing to be flexible with times! I can care for your pet by walking them, playing with them, feeding them, hugging them, grooming them, and even staying with them overnight if that makes them more comfortable while you are away.

About: I have been taking care of cats since I was 10. I have interacting with all types of cats. I also have worked with all types of dogs both puppies and older. I have experience in giving medicine, clipping nails, grooming and more for both cats and dogs. I’m also a gentle soul who believes each cat and dog should have a safe person to stay with while their owners are out of town. I enjoy the company of animals and care about them very much. I am home 24/7 at the moment and can take anyone at anytime. I will be able to keep a close eye on your furry baby at all times. I have a deck outside for dogs to enjoy the fresh air as well as a park that is 7 mins away that I would to bring them to to get some exercise. As well as I would be taking them outside on leash and making sure they go to the bathroom. I have an extra room where I can separate cats and dogs from my own 2 cats and 2 dogs. If your furry friend loves new friends then they’ll be happy to meet some here as well.
