About: I’ve had three dogs in my life! A mixed breed, border collie and Bernese mountain dog! My first dog in her later years became blind,diabetic and gained arthritis. Due to this I was taught to give shots, meds and drops (eyes/ears). Each one of my dogs I’ve had since they were 8 weeks old so I know how puppies can be and how much attention they need! I’m currently a community college student so I’m home year round! During the summer I’m available most weeks of the summer! Since I’m home year round I’m constantly taking care of my dogs! My two dogs are wonderful but no very dog friendly so I will be available to go to your house and take care of them.
About: I’ve grown up with cats, dogs, and a variety of small animals. I currently have a cat and fish. I have experience working in a veterinary clinic (as a technician) and volunteering at an animal shelter. I’ve taken care of cats, dogs, fish, lizards, bunnies, Guinea pigs, and a turtle. My work schedule makes me available to care for your pets in the early mornings, in the late afternoons and evenings, and throughout the weekend. I have experience house sitting. I can care for your pets in their homes and follow their schedules to help them feel relaxed and make their time as stress-free as possible. I also like to give daily updates and pictures.

“Claire was absolutely amazing! She took care of our two dogs for two weeks and treated them like her own. Super reliable, communicative, and clearly an animal lover.

Highly recommend Claire to anyone looking for a responsible and caring dog walker!”
About: With over 10 years of hands-on pet care experience, I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. My expertise goes beyond simple walks. I have extensive experience caring for pups to senior dogs, ensuring they receive the gentle, tailored care they need, including administering medications, managing mobility issues, and providing lots of comfort. What sets me apart is my deep passion for animals and my commitment to making every pet feel safe, happy, and at home—even when their owners are away. I take time to understand each dog’s unique personality, routine, and preferences, offering personalized care that fits their needs. Whether it's energetic playtime, calm cuddle sessions, or specialized care, I treat every pet as if they were my own. As a part-time aviation student and food service professional, I have developed excellent time management skills, allowing me to balance my passion for pet care alongside my studies and work commitments.

This means your pets will always get the attention they need, even during my busiest days. Safety, trust, and a comfortable environment are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or my client's home. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I take extra care to respect their space and follow all provided instructions, ensuring their pet’s routine remains as consistent as possible. I keep an open line of communication with regular updates and photos, so owners always know how their pets are doing. I also prioritize trust by getting to know each pet before care begins, discussing their specific needs, routines, and any special concerns. Whether it’s ensuring doors and gates are securely closed, or knowing the signs of stress in animals, I go the extra mile to provide a safe, loving, and trustworthy environment for every pet in my care.

Jenifer D.
“Jenifer is my elder sibling if it comes to pets there is no way to stop her from loving it. We used to have six paws in our house she is the sole responsible person for them. She used to run 24/7 taking care of them. Since I am her brother I used to get pulled into this as and when she requires help. Since I have known her in person I have seen her how she take cares of them in very caring nature even I too wonder how one can love a pet in such a way. I have to let you know this incident one our paw got sick when we were planning for an outstation trip she cancelled her plans and stayed with him till he was feeling better. If the paws felt uncomfortable/ discomfort she used to wake up in middle of night and she would lullaby them this showed me how great a loving pet caregiver she would be.”

Aidan's level of care goes beyond just walks—he really takes the time to get to know each dog’s personality and needs. He sends updates after each walk, which gives us peace of mind, and we know Bella is in great hands. Whether it’s a long walk or playtime, she always comes back happy and tired out.
