About: I've worked with dogs for 7 years now. Helping family and friends with pet care and training as well as eventually branching out to occasionally taking dog training clients. I am currently studying with the International School of Canine Psychology and would love to make dog training and walking a full time business. I foster as well! I am currently studying with the ISCP and taking on private clients so I will be available friday, saturday, and sundays after 11am! In the near future, there will be more days available for services. As a walker, I ensure your dogs safety through gear checks to ensure harnesses or collars fit properly and to make sure the leash is properly attached. I also am very diligent and observant of my surroundings when I'm out with my personal dogs and client dogs. Safety is key! I will also bring a small backpack with water, a collapsible bowl, waste bags, and a small emergency first aid kit for dogs.

About: I have had dogs for most of my life and always loved all animals. I work remotely so I am almost always home with my own pets. I work night shifts from home, so my schedule is very open and flexible. I spend a lot of time with my own pets and there is never a dull moment, they keep me entertained Every animal I’ve ever had has had their own unique personality with unique needs. I currently have cats and big dogs, but before them I had a senior Yorkie with special needs. I will tailor my care to whatever will be best for your pet(s).

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my personalized care for each pup I look after. I take the time to get to know your dog’s unique needs, routines, and quirks, ensuring they feel right at home. I offer regular photo and video updates, so you never have to worry about how your pet is doing while you’re away. With a safe, cozy home and a focus on fun and comfort, your dog will feel like part of the family. Whether it’s a walk, a play session, or snuggle time, I tailor everything to your pet’s preferences! I am working from home and part time, so my schedule is flexible as I make my own schedule. I will tailor my schedule to yours. In My Home: I offer a safe, cozy environment with plenty of space for your pet to feel comfortable. While my large yard isn’t fenced in, I ensure that outdoor time is always supervised and safe. Inside, my two shy cats provide gentle company for pets who enjoy calm, quiet companionship. I offer a relaxed and secure atmosphere where pets can roam freely, rest, or have quiet time as they need. I also provide lots of space for your pet to retreat to if they prefer solitude. Whether it’s a play session, a nap in a cozy spot, or simply some peaceful downtime, your pet will always feel at ease. In Your Home: When I care for your pet in their own home, I prioritize maintaining their routine and comfort. I offer drop-in visits to feed, play, and clean up, or take your dog for a walk to ensure they get the exercise and fresh air they need. I understand the importance of a pet’s familiar surroundings, so I make sure they feel safe and secure in their own space. Whether it’s a walk, a play session, or just some cuddle time, I’m here to provide the attention your pet needs while keeping you updated with photos and messages.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats at every stage of life—from young puppies and kittens to senior and end-of-life care. I work with all breeds and am comfortable administering medications, providing attentive, compassionate care tailored to each pet’s unique needs. I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet with someone, so I prioritize clear communication, consistency, and keeping your pet’s routine as normal as possible. I’m happy to provide updates, photos, and check-ins so you always feel connected and reassured while you’re away. Whether your pet needs extra patience, structure, or just lots of love, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for like they’re my own. Perfect—here’s a longer, more reassuring version that still sounds professional and high-trust: ⸻ Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine, and I maintain a very flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize each pet’s individual needs. I’m available throughout the day and week, which means I can accommodate consistent visits, varying schedules, and even last-minute requests when needed. Because I structure my days around the pets I care for, I’m able to give each visit my full attention without feeling rushed. I take the time to follow your pet’s routine closely, whether that’s feeding schedules, playtime, medications, or simply providing companionship. My goal is to provide dependable, stress-free care while making sure both you and your pet feel comfortable, supported, and well taken care of every step of the way! For dog walking and in-home visits, I focus on providing care that feels as close to your pet’s normal routine as possible. During walks, I make sure your dog gets safe, structured exercise at a pace that fits their energy level, along with plenty of attention and positive interaction. For in-home visits, I follow your pet’s routine closely—this can include feeding, refreshing water, potty breaks, litter box cleaning, administering medications if needed, and spending quality time with your pet. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, walks, or just calm companionship, I adjust each visit to what makes them feel most comfortable. I’m very mindful of keeping your home secure and clean during each visit, and I always make sure your pet is safe before leaving. I also provide updates and photos so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. My goal is to create a stress-free experience for both you and your pet by being reliable, attentive, and consistent every visit.
