About: I've been in the animal industry for 9 years. I have a Bachelor's degree in Animal Behavior, Ecology, and Conservation. I have worked at Pet Stores, Vet offices, Zoo's, Wildlife Centers, and Rescues. Currently I am a Professional Dog Trainer at Petco. I can work with any animal of any age or temperament - there its many things I have yet to experience. I have a fixed chedule for my training Classes so its easy to book around that and book well ahead of time, as I only have the one job. I am hyper aware of Pet and person safety and know how to read animal behavior to ensure they are doing well no matter the situation, and I know how to act accordingly if they become stressed or upset.

About: Dogs have been a part of my life since I can remember. I’ve raised puppies, taken care of senior dogs, and helped friends and neighbors with their animal care. I’m recently retired and know how challenging it can be to find excellent care for our beloved pets. I am home now and would love to relieve your stress about your dog’s care. I live in a rural setting and can take your dog for long walks. My dogs are on an invisible fence system. Boomer and Dash, my two sweet dogs, love other playmates and share toys. Your pup will quickly become one of the family.

“Melissa is awesome! I needed a dogwalker last minute and she totally came to my rescue. She was beyond personable and professional, and I know my puppy enjoyed having Melissa come take him out for a midday stroll. She even practiced manners with him!! ?”

Jane Z.

“She was very caring and patient with my dog who is curious about everything and has to pee on almost anything he walks by. I definitely will have her walk Boomer again and I would recommend anyone looking for a dog walker to use Kylee.”

About: I've cared for family and friends dogs since I was a teenager, as well as our own dogs. I have experience with diabetic dogs and other medical needs. I work part time and will spend my off time with your pup. I like to meet everyone before sitting so I can get to know their routines and make sure everyone is comfortable! I will care for your pets as you do. I typically visit the home before dogsitting to meet the dog and see what their routine is.

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover with plenty of hands-on experience caring for pets. I’ve owned many dogs throughout my life and currently share my home with two happy, well-behaved four-year-olds who are walked, bathed, and spoiled with love on a regular basis. Friends and family often rely on me to pet sit because they know I’m attentive, trustworthy, and caring with animals, always making sure their specific needs are met. I also have a 2-year-old daughter who adores animals just as much as I do, so your pets will be surrounded by lots of love and attention in our home. I’m happy to host your pets here or care for them in the comfort of your home, whichever makes them feel most at ease. You can count on me to treat your pets like family, because to me, that’s exactly what they are Accommodations can be made to adjust to whatever your needs may be. I currently work a hybrid model that offers flexibility and only need to be in my office three weekdays. The remainder of the week, I spend working in my home office (making sure I take plenty of breaks for puppy snuggles) My house is set up to meet the needs of a dog owner and the location is very quiet and streets are not busy. There are gated areas in my home to prevent dogs from going into rooms they shouldn't be in, or to simply give anyone space if needed. We love to play with our puppy friends in our fenced in back yard. My pets follow a daily routine and I am excited to see how I can help care for your pet while you are away!

About: I have a big house with room to run and play. I'm happy taking care of the puppies and dogs that aren't quite fully potty trained. My family dog in Florida is not spayed so I have experience with females in heat. I don't mind cleaning up messes because the house is all mine. I have 2 small dogs living with me that are very spoiled. My little Einstein has allergies so I buy him special food, shampoo, conditioner, etc to help with his itchy skin. He is a quiet little one who loves meeting new pups. My little Lola loves to cuddle and chew on her bone. You can be certain that your dog will be spoiled too. I also have 2 cats, Harley and Quinn, who have their own room where they love to play. As for me, I'm a Preschool Teacher. My work is right down the road so I come home and let my dogs out during lunch. My dogs go out every couple hours when I'm home. Spending time with my dogs and cats is probably one of my greatest joys.

About: My family members and friends have relied on me to watch their animals. I’ve stayed in owners houses overnight and have taken care of pets! I am available all the time so this will be my full time job! Mornings, afternoon, nights/overnights I am always around for my clients! :) In my clients home I will keep your animal company, this means playing with toys, going for walks, feeding them and giving them love! :)

About: I have been fostering dogs for the past 2 and a half years. Animals are a true passion of mine. I am experienced will all breeds. I have also taken dog training classes. I work most nights. So I am available during the day to check on your pets during the day while you are at work. I understand the feeling it’s great leaving them alone all day. I’m here to help. I care for all pets as they are my own. I love meeting new dogs cats and other animals as well. Pets are truly family members

About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I provide to every pet. I understand that every pet has their own personality and dynamic which I take special care to cater to, whether that be extra pets and cuddles or their requiring of more mental and physical stimulation. In terms of experience, I spent 15 years helping care for my family dog, which included providing special care for him during his weaker, senior years. My years of dog sitting experience has allowed me to master things like ensuring pets' safety, and maintaining comfort and engagement by sticking to their routines while families are away for extended periods of time. I’m very attentive to behavior, anxiety, and small changes that might signal stress. I also shared care of my roommate’s cat for two years and have cat-sitting experience, so I’m comfortable meeting both dogs’ and cats’ unique needs. I am currently between jobs and traveling so I have plenty of free time to dedicate to your pets! If you're an owner of a needy pet with separation anxiety I would be a great fit! I take safety and comfort very seriously, whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and medication instructions. I make sure the environment is secure by keeping doors, gates, and food items safely managed, and I’m always mindful of hazards. I supervise pets carefully, never leave them in unsafe situations, and pay close attention to their behavior, stress levels, and comfort. My goal is to create a calm, safe space where pets feel relaxed, cared for, and at home.

“Great communication & last minute request accepted (same day).”

About: Hello, I am an energetic dog sitter with experience watching large and small dogs. My family has always had Bernese Mountain Mountain dogs- so I have a great experience with gentle giants. I have dog sat for families with ranging dog breeds, from a puppy Boston Terrier to a German Sheppard. I currently have a work-from-home job which allows me to work from any location and I am looking to make some new furry friends. My experience has mainly been limited to family and friends but I am hoping to expand my clientele. I am a trustworthy, loyal and committed person so I would be transparent when communicating all dog sitting updates. I understand that every dog has their own habits and schedule. My expectations are flexible for each client as every dog and owner has their set lifestyle. I look forward to working with you and meeting your furry friend(s) - Nikki
