“Dana is AWESOME! She is very thorough and loving walker. 10/10 would recommend her to walk your pup. She met with us before she started walking my pup, and my Ollie loved her instantly, and so did we!! She took notes on everything we told her about our pupper. She’s extremely experienced and gives a full report after each walk. Thank you so much Dana! You have made our days so much easier by helping out with our little boy!!”
About: I will take care of your dog or cat like they are my own. I currently have an almost 3 year old Bernedoodle who I trained myself when she was a puppy. My love of animals started when I was 5 years old and I got my first dog. He came home in a shoebox and grew into 90lbs of German Shepherd that was gentle as could be with his little girl. Throughout the years I had several types of animals from hamsters to lizards I don't think I was ever without a pet! Let me be there for your pets, we will have a lot of fun! I run my own business so my hours are extremely flexible. I am able to take same day appointments with just a few hours notice if needed. This flexibility allows me to take care of puppies as well. Whether your dog is a cuddle bug or one that loves to run I am the sitter for you. I can keep them on their normal schedules while watching your dog and maybe throw in an extra walk or play time! I am great at following directions to make sure my time with them goes smoothly.
About: As a college student, I’m able to provide consistent, flexible pet care tailored to your pet’s needs. I have hands-on experience from both caring for my own pets—dogs and cats—and volunteering at a local animal shelter. I always prioritize clear communication, so you’ll feel confident and informed while your pet is in my care. I’m available both weekdays and weekends. I’m flexible with the time and type of shift. I’m able to dog-walk, pet sit, check-in, or stay overnight if needed. I follow your pet’s feeding, walking, and play schedules while keeping your home tidy. I’m experienced with using crates, fences, or leashes—whichever best suits your pet’s needs. I also provide regular photo updates so you feel connected and confident while you’re away.
“Amber is great! Charlie is usually shy when he meets a new person, but he warmed up to her right away! She took him on a nice, long walk and sent great pictures. I feel confident using her routinely going forward! 10/10!”
“Samantha goes above and beyond with our sweet Lily. She is extremely gifted with animals and has academic expertise with various animal groups. She is diligent and professional. We are so lucky to have her support.”
About: I've taken care of cats and dogs since I was 6 years old. I have pet sitting experience both with boarding and in home care. I've worked at a grooming place bathing, drying, and brushing cats and dogs. Pet care is my only job. My schedule is open. So I have full availability. I am also not attending college right now so there's no issues there. We have other friendly pets in the house to keep your fur babies company. We have a backyard for them to use the bathroom and play. My neighborhood is also good for dog walks.
“Erin was great with my dog Willow. At the meet and greet she was professional and personable. Willow has a little trouble with meeting strangers for the first time and Erin handled it perfectly. Willow warmed up to her on the first walk and adapted to Willow’s initial shyness by feeding her from under our side table by the couch where she likes to hide. She took excellent photos and kept me informed. I highly recommend Erin.”
About: I have been around all types of pets my entire life. I’ve taken care of dogs from Newfoundland’s to chihuahuas. I’m great with pets and have been responsible for cleaning, feeding, walking, and playing with lots and lots of dogs. I am a big animal person and want to do something with it in the future. In my childhood I would go to my aunts house often to take care of her 5 Newfoundland’s and bulldog. I would take my sisters chihuahua to the mountains of Colorado. Every nearby neighborhood I grew up by as a child knew me for my exceptional dog care and would want me to walk and dog sit for them all the time. It comes natural for someone when it is what they really love to do. I am currently self employed so I can make time or move my schedule around to accommodate your pets schedule needs. Open availability for right now. I give my cat lots of love and affection. I also take care of proper feeding and cleaning. Lots of experience feeding and walking dogs as well.
