About: My family has had dogs my whole life. A couple years ago, I started professionally dog sitting and I greatly enjoy it. I'm patient, I learn each dog's personality, and I make sure they have a safe fun time. I currently balance different self-scheduled gig work. Having no set or minimum hours, my time is highly flexible. I can schedule to fit your needs. I keep a careful eye on pet behavior and surroundings. For yards, I make sure fencing/gates are secure and keep an eye the dogs. For walking, I ensure leashes, collars are comfortable but very secure and tied to my arm as a back up. I keep a bottle of water. I can walk fast and keep pace but also encourage the dog to not wear themself out.

About: I have cared for many pets since I was very young. I am experienced with even medically needy animals. Animals are my passion. Their love is unconditional and so is mine for them. I work a flexible schedule so I can work most anything work. Long trips, short trips, regular schedule. You name it I’ll make it work. Working in clients home is preferred over using my own home.

About: Growing up on a farm, I’ve always had a big heart for all types of animals! I have rescued kittens and other animals since I was young, and there has never been a time in my life where I did not have a pet to care for. My full time job is only 2 days a week, so the rest of my time can be focused on your pet. I walk my own dogs daily and love to be outdoors, so there isn’t a request to far fetched! (Pun intended) Your preferences and concerns will always be the forefront of discussions on how I will care for your beloved fur baby. I’m willing to treat them as my own and no request is too much to ask, after all you are entrusting me with your best friend!
About: I grew up on a farm in Iowa taking care of a variety of animals and it's turned into a passion very quickly. As an adult aside from my own pets I worked for a dog groomer for 5 years and heald many titles! I was personal assistant/ lead bather/ weekend boarder/ vacation boarder for clients going out of town. In my personal life I also did many rescue and rehomes for mainly cats and dogs. Working with animals has helped me so much to have a better understanding of them and how they communicate their comfort zones. I have worked with the sweetest and most cuddly animals to very aggressive and anxious animals of all sizes and breeds over the years and have only had to turn down services a handful of times while offering an owner safer suggestion that could work for them and their fur children. If you are wanting to work on your dogs social skills with other dogs I've got that covered too! My traveling companion is a 8 year old boarder collie mix named Bunny. She is completely submissive to all sizes and breeds. I've worked with her many times with introductions and she is very patient. 🙂 I am free nights and weekends for walks and boarding. I will be attending school M-F 7 to 3:30 so anytime after this I am available. My personal dog is a senior so she does have a special diet. My background in working with animals I am comfortable giving any medications they might need if scheduled at my time of service. I'm open to following any instructions or rules you would like me to as long as I feel that I have built enough trust with your animal to provide this if you are not present.
“Becky is awesome! She was graciously available last minute to walk my dogs and was on time, let them go at their normal pace and sent me pictures! Would highly recommend Becky to take care of your fur babies ?”

About: I’ve had a dogs in my life, since I was a child, and was introduced to cats as I ventured into the collegiate life. As an adult I have cared for dogs primarily, but recently had the opportunity to take care of the sweetest cats! I am fairly patient with pets and like to give them as much space as they like to try to not mess up the routines, but if they are balls of energy and cuddle bugs, I am more than happy to comply! I believe that walks and healthy roaming space is good for a dog’s, development and energy, and respecting a cat to make the first move to ensure respect and comfort to their environment. Hi! I’m a full-time high school interpreter and a lifelong animal lover. During the school year, I spend my days helping students thrive in the classroom — and now that summer’s here, I’m excited to dedicate my time to caring for your pets! I like doing research on the neighborhoods that I’m going into if it’s a new area, and like to understand what you have available, either a dog park, or a fenced backyard, to really understand how to best care for your dog. My dog is a big ball of energy so I have learned a lot of skills to be able to make sure that they stay in their assigned spaces, I do like to keep them with me on my lap as I work, or nearby letting them enjoy a nap.
About: I’ve been working with animals since I was a little girl. We always had animals in our house & I have been a pet sitter for many years.

I love animals of every kind & having many of my own, I understand how important it is to trust who is taking care of your pets. I am currently working full time but my schedule is very flexible so I am able to move things around to accommodate when it is needed. Having pets of my own, I understand different tasks are needed. My services are walks, feeding, watering, letting outside, cleaning up after pets, baths, and pretty much anything needed!
About: I have taken care of my brothers dog who is 8 years old (Rottweiler/Lab 70lbs) for almost three years now. And once in a while I watch over my sisters dog who is a 2 year old American bulldog. I’ve taught my my brothers Rottweiler how to stay, sit. He is a very needy dog but I’ve learned to be patient. I taught my sister puppy to sit, give me his paw and leave it. Doggies can be so energetic but that’s the fun part. I’m currently working overnights (10pm/6am). And my mornings/ evenings are pretty flexible. The only days I wouldn’t be able to be free is on Tuesdays evening. At my apartment building we have a fenced yard made for pets if needed. Otherwise my apartment is pet free and your pet is safe. I can also watch them at your place if needed.

Makenna B.
“I have been friends with Makenna for over 2 years now and she is the best dog owner. Her dogs are both big and she is able to have control of them at all times. She loves animals and will do anything to protect them. She loves playing with them, cuddles, car rides, walks. Whatever it may be she always has dogs around her. She loves it! I have worked with her for over 2 years now as well. She is a perfect employee. She will do any tasks perfectly. She's never late, never calls out, and overall, an amazing worker. She would be someone you continuously want to work with. She has great communication and personality, a great work ethic, and her love for dogs is truly beautiful.”
Jennifer T.
“Hello, my name is Eufraisa Tecuapetla. My sister Jennifer has helped me over the last three years in taking care of my boy Chapo. Chapo is a Rottweiler mixed with Lab and he can be a handful. But Jennifer has done a great job in keeping me stress free by making sure he is well fed, well groomed, safe and loved. She is a very generous and life saver, there was a couple of times where I had to come him extremely late from work but she kept Chapo in her home safe until I could be with him. Another time would be when my dog had a terrible ear infection and she took the time to take him to the vet and made sure he could get better. I would highly recommend her with taking care of your little fur baby! Thanks!”
