About: I have several years of experience from taking care of my own pets as well as other's. I previously owned a cat with a medical condition, so I have medication experience and emergency experience. I have a cat of my own and she gets baths, so you know I am not afraid of a pet being a bit of a handful. But, I added an optional bathing/nail trimming fee of $10, because cat claws are a work hazard. Brushing I am happy to do, every time for free. I have a part time evening job, so I am home most of the day until 4pm - 8pm. I don't go out much, so while in my home, your pet would have constant attention and supervision. My home has two bedrooms, and I converted my second bedroom into a pet room. It provides plenty of space for cats to hang out, including blankets, toys, and a big window to sit in and watch the birds. The bedroom is sectioned off by a gate, but my whole home is open to your pet if they choose to come out. The gate is only there for your pet's privacy, as we have a tortie cat and a corgi dog of our own. They are both very sweet and get along well with cats. We also provide litter box (not litter), food dishes (not food), and toys. But, always feel free to bring your own. And, never hesitate to ask questions!
“We very much appreciate Elise stopping by to take Lola out for some exercise during a long day alone at home. We had excellent communication and everything seemed to work out well without having to meet ahead of time. Elise is on our list for rebooking and we would recommend her for your dog walking needs.”
“Thank you for handling my dog's so well. They were comfortable with you and happy and your services are greatly appreciated. I love my dog's as they are part of my family and I don't hand them over easily so, thank you.”
About: Hi, my name is Crystal! I’m a lab mom to Hurley my sweet 12-year-old yellow lab and Sirius Black my energetic five-year-old black lab. They have taught me how to handle big dogs, strong pullers, goofy personalities and those moments when a dog just needs a little extra reassurance. I am reliable, and always focused on keeping your pup safe and comfortable. You can expect clear communication, photos, and a dog walker who will take care of your pup as if they are my own. I work from home, so my schedule is flexible. I’m available in the mornings, afternoons, and early evenings. Since I’m home throughout the day, it’s easy for me to adjust to your dog's routine and make sure they get the time and attention they need. I have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs to keep your dogs company. I am also able to crate your dog if that is needed.
About: I have been around animals for as long as I can remember. I have the biggest soft spot for them, and I have two dogs of my own. I have had my own dog since I was about 19, but have had outdoor farm dogs for as long as I can remember. I have been around dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and other small animals for as long as I can remember. I am patient, detail orientated and I truly just love spending time with animals. Big or small, I love them all! I do work during the day, but I have the ability to pop out if/when I need to. I am free evenings and weekends. My schedule can be flexible if needed. I have a dog friendly home. To me this means there’s nothing but toys on the ground. Garbages are hidden and I am very aware of what is around my animals. I also have a dog park in front of my apartment!
About: I was blessed with my border collie when I was 8 years old, she lived for 14 years and unfortunately passed 2.5 years ago. I take any chance I can get to watch my friends dogs and cats while they’re gone! I work during the weekdays until 4 or 5 pm and have most weekends off. I have an hour lunch some days and could check on your fur baby while I’m home. I know the stress of your fur babies getting into things that could harm them while you’re gone, so if you need them crated up I will make sure they get put away!

About: I have a deep connection with everything living. Growing up with animals on my side throughout my childhood and having 5 at one time was a lot of work but it was surly amazing. I really want a fun job over the summer between school years. I love working hard and overachieving where i should be. Animals help me keep it together and always put a smile on my face no matter what Dog sitting for people i didn't know was a little weird in the beginning than my moms bookclub all started asking me. On top of meeting all the different crazy puppies and their little different perks I loved going back and them remembering me.
About: I’ve lived with 5 hunting dogs my entire life as I was a hunting family and had to always take care of them at home.

Let me know if your pet has a special accommodations! I currently work 2-3 days a week depending on the week, so I will have plenty of time to play with your animals and let them out!

About: I grew up with all sorts of pets, there’s never been a day in my life where I haven’t been near an animal!

We very much appreciate Elise stopping by to take Lola out for some exercise during a long day alone at home. We had excellent communication and everything seemed to work out well without having to meet ahead of time. Elise is on our list for rebooking and we would recommend her for your dog walking needs.
Maisie clearly loves animals. During our first walk she was very attentive to all the information we provided. On both visits she arrived on time (actually a bit early). She walked Katy in less than wonderful weather and sent pictures of the outing. We were happy to have her care for our dog.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
