“Margaret is wonderful! Super communicative and kind. My pup loves her. I used Margaret’s services for a few weeks will I was recovering from an injury. She even came and went on her own when needed if I was on zoom calls”
About: We’re dog lovers through and through! I grew up with a sweet 9-year-old Yorkie, and my husband has raised two playful Golden Retrievers. we both adore dogs of all sizes-from tiny pups to big, goofy. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or cuddles at home, we make sure every moment is filled with love and care! I’m a Japanese military spouse and currently not working. I’m flexible with schedule and happy to accommodate your needs and provide loving care for your dogs!! My house has a fenced yard with a female dog and no kids. Your dog can lounge on the couch, and the environment is safe with no small objects that might harm your dog.
“Victoria was fabulous! She showed up on time for our early morning "Meet & Greet", and understood all the instructions for Newton. Based on the Rover tracker and timely updates she took him for nice long and productive walks. This was a hot day and Victoria made sure Newton had fresh water and his after walk biscuit. I am very happy, and will certainly have her take care of Newton”
About: I have both personal and workplace experience with dogs and cats. Besides lifelong experience with cats and dogs, I have personally owned rabbits, ferrets, guinea pigs, and an aquarium of Platy fish and snails. I currently own a 4 yr old Shetland Sheepdog named Basil, who I raised since puppyhood, and also care for my mother-in-law's 8 yr old Blue Heeler mix that I live with. I have experience with puppies working their way through potty training and also with elderly dogs that need more care than others might (both paid and unpaid). I currently cat sit and dog walk for different couples in my neighborhood, have worked in a professional environment with dogs as well in the past, and have worked as an animal hand on a backyard farm with goats, ducks, and pigs. I'm usually available and have a very flexible schedule! I'm more than okay with home stays as well. Taking care of dogs and cats is my full time job :) I can come to your house multiple times in one day for long walks and periodic drop-ins as well as doing long term house stays. I am a huge fan of walking and don't mind dogs that need that extra time to go to the bathroom or just prefer to smell for a while. I also feel comfortable administering pills to dogs and cleaning up household accidents or pee pads. I have no problem with complicated feeding routines, multi-animal households, upholding standards you have set in training, or accommodating for your pet if they struggle with reactivity or anxiety. I prefer to go to your house instead, because I do not have backyard and live with others, but would be willing to work out a home stay at my house if you need me to!
About: I have been a life long dog lover! I’ve helped care for our family dogs since I was young and recently got a dog of my own, Cannoli, who is 1 years old. I truly treat every dog as if it were my own, and make sure to shower them with love so you can assure your pet is loved and cared for while they are with me! I have recently gone through A LOT of dog training with Cannoli and I very respectful to your current routines and rules as this is super important to me and my dog. I am comfortable with all ages, sizes and temperaments. Pictures and an update will be provided after every walk :) I work from home M/W/F and have availability most weekends for dog walking. I am unable to board pets at my place, however, Cannoli (my dog) and I would be open to staying at yours if overnight care is needed. If your dog would like to hangout with us during the day, Cannoli and I would love the company! We do walks in the morning, at lunch and again in the afternoon/evening! Cannoli loves new friends (as do I). I am able to follow rules/guidelines that you already have in place (this is super important for me already)

About: As a lover of all 4-legged creatures and waggy tails, including my beloved dog Cheddar, I am excited to offer loving and attentive pet sitting services for your fur babies.

I work from home and maintain a flexible schedule, ensuring your pet is never left alone and can enjoy multiple walks a day - and more importantly, giving you peace of mind. While my pie in the sky dream is to rescue every dog and live on a farm, for now I am committed to providing a safe and loving environment for your pets while you're away. Available for dog walking and potty breaks as well! I work from home full-time, allowing me a flexible schedule for walks and boarding. I am open to boarding a few nights or for extended periods. My dog gets walked twice a day and we would love for your fur baby to join us. I am happy to work with you to ensure your needs are met and you have peace of mind while away. I walk my dog twice a day. Depending on your specific needs, I can walk your dog separately, take them to a dog park to socialize, or simple cuddle them on the couch. I know how important it is for people to know their dogs are safe and loved and I want to provide that for you.
About: I have grown up with dogs and within the last few years have had the privilege to watch friends dogs. I have experience with puppies as well as senior dogs. I work from home so have a flexible schedule and am willing to work you to find what works best for your furry friend! I work from home so have a very flexible schedule and am in town most weekends. Am happy to spend as long as you need me to with your pet. I can provide anything from checking in on them in home and feeding them or taking them to the park to get some play time in! I have had experience watching dogs in their own home for years. I will follow whatever guidelines you need me to when it comes to your pet. Your house, your rules. I know everyone has specific requests and I am happy to be flexible with whatever makes you most comfortable. I have had experience also walking dogs of different levels. Whether it is a senior dog who need to just be taken out or a enegertic furry friend who wants to walk for an hour.
About: I've grown up with pets my entire life. I've cat-sat and dog-walked for friends and family. I love caring for animals and this is a great substitution for right now while I can't have my own dog. I’m very active and I enjoy being outside so walking a dog combines two things that I love: dogs and exercise! At the end of the workday I don’t always want to do a full workout but having a pet to care for is a great excuse. I will follow the owners' guidelines. I've cared for older dogs and I understand how important their schedule is. If I have questions I will not hesitate to reach out rather than assume.
