“Matthew was willing to help me out on relatively short notice. I needed help walking my dog over the weekend because of a flared back issue. He was terrific! Friendly, enthusiastic, good walker and communicator. I appreciated his ability to be flexible, too. Shankara evidently loved the walks. I will definitely book with him in the future as needs demand it! Thanks, Matt!”

About: I very much enjoy engaging with and taking care of all types of animals and I have owned and cared for animals since childhood. I have the most experience with cats and dogs but have owned and looked after a range of other pets as well. I can provide the appropriate level of care and attention to your pets that you are looking for and am more than happy to provide as many photos or updates for you to feel good about being away. From puppies to elderly pets I have cared for all ages and types of pets! My goal is to get as many regular clients as possible, so I am very open to working through rates that work for both sides for ongoing or regular services. I have a large SUV so i can also do drop off and pickup if that would be helpful. Because I work from home full-time, I'm able to offer a level of flexibility. I can usually accommodate early mornings, evenings, last-minute requests, and everything in between — just ask! Punctuality and reliability are something I take seriously, so you can always count on me to be there when I say I will. My home is welcoming for all animals and there is an acre and a half in the back with plenty of room to play. I am active and engaged with animals and will make sure any routine or special care requirements are followed.
“Allison has been wonderful to work with! She has been walking our two pups for the past few weeks and we couldn’t be happier with the care and attention they receive! From the start, Allison has been reliable, communicative and a great resource for long work days!”

About: I have owned 3 dogs and a cat in my life. My fiancée and I currently own a Siamese cat that we adopted from the OKC Animal Shelter. We previously fostered two kittens. I'm reliable, accountable, and punctual! And above all, I am CPR certified for both humans and animals. You can count on me! I'm currently working part-time, but I will definitely try to work around your needs! I am open to any and all animals! Let me know what availability you have and we can work with that! I do have a cat crate and some cat treats and toys. I do also have dog treats and chew toys. I am very gentle and know how to approach animals in a way that does not make me appear threatening and will earn their trust.

About: I’ve taken care of family pets my whole life, including Labrador retrievers, rescues, and Pembroke Welsh corgis. I love all dogs, playing, walking and cuddling with them! I currently work at a hospital (3 12hr shifts). On days off, I can pop in whenever, and days that I work would be early in the morning and later in the evening. I know how to properly feed dogs, safely walk them with traffic and other dogs, and play with them to ensure they are getting by exercise and socialization time.
“Celine instantly treated my 70 lbs Goldendoodle like he was her own dog. I couldn't be happier with her service, and appreciate her genuine true love for animals. I appreciated the regular updates and photos, giving me piece of mind. Her communication is outstanding. I highly recommend Celine to anyone seeking top notch care for their pets! 5 Stars all the way!!”

About: Hello! My name is Maria and I am very excited to meet your furry friend! I’ve raised 2 large dogs and 2 small dogs so I am comfortable with any size pet. I also worked at a doggie day care center for a year and a half where I worked with all size dogs for 8 plus hours at a time and facilitated friendly play so I am able to handle multiple dogs or cats at a time! am available for dog walking or a stop in visits. I live in the mentor area but am willing to travel as well. Please let me know if this is the type of sitter you are looking for! I work as a nurse so my schedule is pretty flexible. I care for my own pets with walks, park visits, and agility. I also enjoy caring for other dogs with walks or acting as a dog sitter. I am always cautious when taking care of pets in my home or another persons home. I understand that allowing someone into your home can be nerve racking so I am always sure to communicate as much as I can with home owners and follow their specific instructions to ensure the visit goes as smooth as possible.
About: Ever since I was little, I’ve always had a strong love for all things animals. I love taking care of all types of pets and have a beloved pet of my own, my now 13 year old dog known as Oreo! Family, friends, and neighbors have relied on me to ensure their pets are happy and healthy when they are away. I have always succeeded in that and will do some occasional training (not certified) with dogs while keeping them company. I currently work full time, but can be available before and after work for your pets! I can make your pet my priority while you’re away! I will be devoted to take care of your pet in the way that you instruct me to. If there are any special things that you need me to do to keep your pet more comfortable or happy while you’re away, I am more than happy to do so. I will always take your vet contact information in the event of any emergency so we can all have peace of mind.
About: My parents are also animal lovers, so I have had many different dogs growing up from Great Danes to Teacup Chihuahuas! My first dog was a Golden Retriever named Roxy! She made me fall in love with animal care which is when I pursued positions working at boarding facilities, vet clinics, and animal shelters. These positions gave me plenty of experience working with many different breeds and personalities. I also learned correct ways to administer medications and deal with animals that may be in distress. I currently am in grad school and have classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays. My field season is in the spring, so I may have limited availability. I am very trustworthy. I understand that my only job is to come and offer the care and love to your pets while you are not available. Most of my time will be spent giving my full attention to your loved one’s! If your pet is not the social type or I need to be at your house for a long period of time, I have many hobbies (journaling, reading, crocheting, etc.), and I am also in school to receive my masters degree in Biology, so I have homework or materials I can bring to entertain myself if needed.
“I am so grateful for Reese stepping in after our previous dog walker left unexpectedly. Reese is sweet, attentive, and made the transition completely seamless. Jameson took to her right away and is already looking forward to many more walks with Reese. Highly recommend!”


About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and am comfortable handling dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and personalities. Being very active, I enjoy making sure dogs get the exercise and attention they need through walks, playtime, and engagement. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to each dog’s individual needs, whether that’s caring for a high-energy puppy or making sure an older dog is comfortable and well looked after. I treat every dog like my own and always prioritize their safety, routine, and happiness. Pet care fits well into my routine because I’m currently training for the National Football League, which keeps me active and disciplined with my schedule. My training sessions are structured, so I have consistent availability throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. Staying active means I enjoy getting dogs outside for exercise, playtime, and walks while making sure they receive reliable care and attention. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely, keep pets on leash during walks, and make sure they’re in a safe environment at all times. I pay attention to their behavior, energy levels, and comfort so they feel relaxed and secure while in my care.
About: I've been caring for a variety of pets my entire life and have a passion for helping animals of all shapes and sizes. I'm excited to provide the best care for your furry, scaly, or feathered friends while you're away. Your pets will be loved and looked after as if they were my own. I have extensive experience with dogs, cats, and even lifers I am available early mornings every day of the week . Right now I have open availability so i have free range to help out any time of the day. I can even check in on your precious cargo holidays or weekends I have a fenced in backyard for your dog to run around in. I do have cats in my home who were introduced and lived with our pooch until her passing recently. I prefer to home sit in your home due to the fact I have 5 cats and 2 dogs and it may be overwhelming

About: Hi! I’m a reliable and responsible dog lover who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I understand how important it is to keep them safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping your dog company, I’ll treat your pet like my own. I’m dependable, attentive, and committed to making sure both you and your dog feel at ease. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I build my schedule around being consistent and dependable. I’m available in the mornings for feeding, walks, and check-ins before starting my day, and I’m home in the afternoons, which gives me time to spend with dogs for exercise, play, and attention. I do work part-time in the evenings about five days a week, but I plan around that so dogs are never left without care for long. Before work, I make sure they’ve had a walk, time outside, and attention, and when I get home, I stick to an evening routine with another walk, feeding if needed, and time to wind down. On my days off and weekends, I have much more flexibility, so I’m able to give extra time, longer walks, and more one-on-one attention. Overall, I’m very structured with my time, so even with a busy schedule, pet care is something I prioritize and stay consistent with. Your dog won’t just be “watched”—they’ll be cared for like they’re my own. I keep a consistent, structured routine so they feel comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. Throughout the day, I make sure they’re never bored or ignored—whether that’s playtime, walks, or just hanging out so they have company. I pay close attention to their mood and energy, so high-energy dogs stay active and tired, while calmer dogs get a more relaxed, easygoing day. I stick closely to your dog’s normal routine and any specific instructions, because I know the little details matter. Bottom line: your dog gets consistency, attention, and someone who actually cares—not just someone stopping by.

My dog absolutely loves Annalise! Annalise is super dependable, showing up right on time for every walk. She was consistently prompt with getting Ladybug outside for fresh air and exercise while I’m home recovering from surgery and needed an extra hand with my dog! I also appreciated the report updates and photos to describe the walks they went on. I would definitely recommend her, and I know Ladybug will look forward to seeing her again sometime!
