About: I’m a lifelong dog owner and caregiver with practical experience volunteering at SASA. I’ve also worked with local and national 501(c) rescues and provided foster care. This background has given me steady, real-world handling skills and a calm, safety-first approach. I’ve completed the Fear Free Shelters program core modules and continuing education in Fear-Free handling and canine body-language awareness, which helps me keep dogs calm and comfortable during care. I’m comfortable reading canine body language, supporting different temperaments and special needs, and creating low-stress, predictable interactions that help dogs feel secure. I focus on calm handling, clear boundaries, and routines that reduce anxiety and help dogs settle comfortably. My goal is simple: keep dogs feeling safe, happy, understood, and well cared for. I’m retired, so my schedule is relaxed and easy to work around. I have plenty of time to keep your pup happy and engaged, and I enjoy making their day fun and interesting. Most of my availability is during daytime hours, with occasional morning or evening care when needed. I also send regular photo updates so you can see how your dog’s day is going. I use a calm, friendly approach that keeps dogs feeling safe and relaxed. I’ve completed the Fear Free Shelters program core modules and training in canine body-language awareness, which helps me recognize stress signals early and support dogs in a gentle, low-pressure way. My home provides a calm environment where dogs can relax and settle into predictable routines. I’ve worked with many breeds and personalities, so I adjust to each dog’s comfort level and needs. I maintain a safety-first approach at all times. I’m familiar with basic canine first aid and keep emergency contacts and veterinary information readily available if needed. For safety, I do not take dogs to dog parks. I’m also happy to schedule a quick meet-and-greet beforehand to make sure everyone feels comfortable and it’s a good fit. Large fenced yard with locked gates and a clean, level surface for safe play and potty breaks. The yard has pet beds, toys, shade, and always fresh water available. My home and yard are free of toxic flowers and plants so dogs can safely relax and explore. I accept only one client household at a time so each dog receives calm, focused care and attention.

“Milo loved his first walk with Kaitlyn. She was very nice and understanding of the fact that he jumps on people and still has a lot of puppy energy. I’ll definitely be rebooking.”

“We have two large, heavy dogs, which can be intimidating, but Alora is great with them. She is dependable and pleasant, and they seem to enjoy their walks with her.”

About: I've been blessed with many canine pals thanks to my friends being dog owners. I've pet sat for dogs as small as yorkies and dogs as large as great dane/ bullmastiff breeds. I provide a friendly service of good care and good company. Together your pet and I will enjoy hiking, running and playing fetch. I'll provide them with proper nourishment and daily treats. If they aren't very mobile we can cuddle up together and enjoy some sweet rub downs. I'm available most weekdays generally from 8:00am-6:00pm. For overnight stays I can stay up to three days. I would prefer a detailed letter or note describing the type of care you expect from me. I want to ensure that I provide the best care for your dogs needs. I work part time during the weekdays. I’m available after 2:30 p.m. My weekends are pretty open, and we usually like to go on hiking adventures nearby. We go on walks daily. I have a cozy place where your pup has free roam. I don’t have a yard or balcony. There’s a dog park one block away from my apartment. Plenty of neighborhoods to explore on foot. I have one Husky that loves to play. She loves friends and has a lot of energy.

About: All my dogs in my home get walks and look forward to doing so when I get home. I owned dogs since I was a boy. Love this animals and their many unique personalities. I love to teach my kids how to love and treat animals. Play, reward and a great walk to let dogs feel happy go lucky!! I work mornings but I am available to walk your pet in the evening, check on them, feed them and play with them until you arrive home or when you need them to be watched at your home when you have to leave for a few day and want them not to feel abandoned and still remain at their home where they feel safe and have someone see that they are doing ok. I walk my dogs once daily for 30 to 40 minutes in the morning before work. I am able to provide short walks 25 min/ long walks 45 min. I feed your dog the correct amount and special way you like them to eat their meal as I do my own depending on their size. Everyone in my home interacts with our animals and constantly socialize and play with them to show them affection which is important to their well being.

“Love her! And the dogs love her too!! She was able.to get our GS puppy out on walks. And our rescue loves her. Great trustworthy pet sitter/walker!”

About: I've always had dogs and crate trained my dogs. I know how to train basic commands but nothing really beyond that. I do love playing with dogs and also relaxing with them as well. I do work full time but I do work from home most of the week. So my schedule is pretty flexible for the most part. I have a fenced yard, and 4 friendly dogs. We do have 2 cats but they stay outside as they don't like our dogs. I make sure the the pet I babysit is comfortable and listen to instructions on the owners requests.

“Communication was there. Fast response. Really appreciate her making sure to update me on my baby”

About: I've had animals all my life, big and small and all species. Friends and family have always counted on me to take care of their pets keeping them happy and safe, while they were away. I have lots of pets of my own that are fed every morning and night as well as taken out for exercise as much as I possibly can. I work a full time job as a kennel attendant with some background in vet tech, (no degree). House sitting and drop in visits tend to fit the best with my schedule. I like to make sure your pet gets all the exercise they need so they aren’t super wound up by the time you get home! Treats are always giving if allowed and lots of attention of course. For house sittings, I also include plant watering services, making sure mail and packages are brought in and that the house is clean before you get home!

About: I've been a frequent pet sitter since I was in Junior High, as well as always taking care of my own I'd often take care of my grandparents, uncles, and friends. I work part-time so I'll have plenty of time to spend with your pets and live with family so they'll be taken care of when I'm not around :) I live in a gated home with a large backyard for your pet to roam free in :) I also have two different sized crates available if needed.

About: I've had dogs my entire life and at this moment I have 2 friendly dogs; a 13 year old terrier mix and a 2 year old mini pitcher. I have a quiet clean (not scrubbed just cozy) home. Dogs are able to sit on couch, sleep with me in my king bed, have snack breaks and go in the backyard for potty breaks and to play fetch. My fenced backyard has a large grass area and a covered patio, we spend lots of time hanging out there on nicer days. I own my home in a nicer neighborhood since 2012. I'm super casual and easy going with a drug, smoke and alcohol free home. Your dogs will be spoiled! Dogs have lots of indoor and outdoor play time. If dogs have thier own dog food, I'll put the other dogs outside to make sure they get thier meal times otherwise I have plenty of blue buffalo dog food I mix with Purina. A morning potty out back while I prepare and separate dog bowls then they can all come in unless a dog is on a special diet then ill feed them separately. My backyard is fenced with locked gates. They get treats throughout the day and a dinner before bed. Then if they want to sleep on the bed with me they can otherwise there's thick blankets on the floor near me.

About: I got both of my dogs when they were 3 months old, so I know how to potty train, leash train, and teach basic commands. I am able to give medications if needed and I know how to deal with even the stubborn dogs. I work from home and have a flexible schedule so I'll have plenty of time to play with and check on your furry friends during the day/week! I always let the pet make the first move to build trust and recognition. I am a very attentive person and will be sure to make certain the pet has plenty of food, water, comfort, and engagement at all times.

About: I’ve taken care of my families dogs whenever they go out so I can be trusted to feed, play, and spend time with yours too. I am currently on summer break so I have plenty of free time throughout the week. What better way to spend it than to be playing and caring for your pets while you are gone. I will make sure to always have them feed at their hours, spend time with them, play, interact and always make sure they feel comfortable in a safe environment.

About: I'm dependable and animal-loving dog walker who enjoys spending time with dogs of all ages and personalities. I understand that your dog is family, and I'll treat them the same. I'm a dedicated dog lover with open availability throughout the week. Since I'm available all day, I can accommodate early morning, midday, evening, and even last-minute walk. Whether your pup needs a quick potty break, a long energy-burning walk, or some extra companionship during the day, I'm here to help!
