About: I have always had dogs growing up and I just cannot have my own right now so I would love to show my love for dogs with yours! I am also a very active person and love having an extra reason to go for a walk or hike! I only work Tuesday- Friday so I am looking for dogs to fill my weekends or even my nightly walks after work. I would not be available during the day on Tuesday- Friday for any drop ins as I work 10 hour days these days. I would prefer to care for pets in my clients home. This allows for the most comfortable environment for your dog when you are away.
About: I am attentive and exited to care for your pets! I love animals and have worked on my families ranch all my life. I enjoy going on long walks with any dog: excited puppies or slow-moving-seniors! I am a student, so my schedule is very irregular! When I am free, I want to fill my time with care work and fun! I walk a lot every day and have plenty of time to stop by and check in on your pet. My transportation is reliable so going out of town is not a problem.
About: I have a 10 year old dalmatian so I'm well versed in unique personalities + high energy along with stubborn tempers. I have a 9 year old husky shepard that I rescued so I'm familiar with anxiety and fearful tendencies like whining/crying etc. I treat my dogs like real children, they have manners such as sitting before eating & being told when it's ok to go to their bowls, they don't beg for food and they know to stay out of certain rooms. I grew up with 5+ dogs in a home so we were all taught how to have boundaries, patience, and respect to function without chaos. Pets are so special and I'll love yours as my own and treat them with the same mutual respect & loving care. You are safe with me. I am a private practice therapist with my own schedule so ask about my availability. During the weekday afternoons I see clients from 10-5:30. I'm pretty flexible to do walks/drops ins. Friday-Sunday works great for house sitting by I can be flexible so just ask :) Home living room is free range for pets, bedrooms are off limits to avoid shedding & boundaries. My dog's sleep on our couches and snuggle on the recliners. We have white noise and cartoons for them. We have a large soccer field in the back of the apartment for play time. I recommend and prefer ecollars for safety especially those that beep or vibrate. The clients home rules are what I'll follow as we all parent differently and I respect those boundaries however I expect manners & I do not care to watch pets that do not listen, beg/steal food, jump/bite. I am happy to correct/train this behavior.
“Seeing the pictures of my happy pups on their walks and playing in the yard made me so happy! Katie is detailed, thorough, and truly loving towards animals! Highly recommend!”
About: I have always loved animals and love being around them. I have worked on a couple farms in the last couple of years and was a “dog nanny” for a few about half a year I’m currently going into my Junior year of college and part time employed. I am free majority of the time and if away from home can easily come back to check on pets/hang out with them! I take them out to go to the bathroom as much as they need and will walk the dog multiple times a day. Can keep any schedule any pet in my care.
About: I've been caring for my family friends' pets since I was 9. I have been relied on to perform special care instructions for a wide variety of pets, from a diabetic husky, to an infant corn snake. I am currently in between jobs for the next month and a half and I'm looking for some in between work. I am free and open to fit your pet in whenever works best for you! I live in a pet friendly house right next tot he Galligator trail. But under my experience, keeping pets in their own houses are ideal for their mental health and I would be very willing to travel to your house as often as needed.
About: I have grown up with multiple dogs at a time, all breeds, sizes and personalities. I also grew up with horses and overall I am an animal lover and here to help your furry friend. I work as a lab research assistant from 8:30am-5:00pm and can come before or after! This schedule will change August 20th when school starts again. I am more than willing to come to your home and walk and care for your pets in an environment they are familiar and comfortable in.
“She did an outstanding job! My lab was super happy every time she came over to dog sit. She sent wonderful pictures, and updates twice a day! Would definitely use her again.”
About: Having had dogs and cats most of my life, I have had to tend to them when they aren't feeling well, provided medications as directed, and even had to assist older dogs who just need some extra help during their day to day life. Making sure your dog is safe and comfortable in their own home is what's best for them. I start off my day with a cup of coffee and feeding breakfast to my dog. Then I go to work and return after noon to let my dog out and give him an afternoon or evening walk. On weekends, I take my pup for adventures in the park, a walk on Pete's Hill, and some snuggle time. Life is better with pets! I feel it's best to maintain your pet's normal routine, so if that means daily walks, normal feeding and play times, then that's what I do. I always like to know the rules of the house when it comes to your pet, and if a pet owner has a flyer outlining their pet's likes and dislikes, Vet contact, and any medical concerns or needs, this is always helpful just in case of emergencies.

June L.
“June loves animals with every ounce of her being. She grew up with dogs and other livestock at her home. She is the first person all of our friends with pets ask to watch them. She is great at reading any animal's needs and makes sure they get their necessary activity. She also was a 4H Participant in High school, making her more than qualified to take care of Great Danes all the way down to a Shih Tzu.”

ava c.
“Ava is an animal lover and has taken care of dogs, farm animals and horses. She also is very reliable to show up on time and works very hard while she is "on the job". She has an almost "whisperer" way with animals. They love her and feel a connectiveness from the second they meet. One owner said that their dog likes her better than them. She also had a young cow drop and lay in her lap licking her for about 30 minutes. Any animal would be fortunate to have Ava as their caregiver while their owner is out of town.”
Natalie H.
“Natalie is conscientious and trustworthy. Her love for animals comes through in how well she attends to their needs. My somewhat anxious dog is very comfortable with her walking and caring for him.”
