“Lynn was fantastic. She put our dogs at ease right away during the meet and greet. She had great communication. We will definitely be using her a lot more for our pups!”


About: I have grown up with cats and dogs of my own and love animals! I would love to get to know your pet and take care of them while you are busy. I walk my own dog Ruby 3 miles multiple days a week when I am home from school! I am enrolled at WMU currently so I have class 5 days a week but I can make time to take care of yours pet any day of the week. I would be happy to share more about weekday schedule if you dm me! I look after my pets at home with love and care and would treat your pet like my own. I will walk your pets on a leash and play/check on them as frequently as you would like me to.
About: I have had dogs my whole life and they bring me so much joy. I’ve had experience with dogs of all ages and sizes and I’ve found that I enjoy them all. I’ve had experience with training, potty training and have helped family and friends with dog walking. I currently go to school online so I am home most of the day. I have an older dog of my own so I am used to a routine of being able to be home to let me dog outside and take him for walks at least once a day. I have a fenced in backyard so that your dog can be outside as much as they like. I also have a dog that absolutely loves other animals. My son is a big fan of helping out with animals and we both enjoy snuggling up with our dog at the end of the day. I do allow dogs on furniture and in all rooms of my house, however I will respect if this is something you do not wish your dog to do.
“I had a great experience with Jaime! She was quick to respond and worked with me to find a time that suited both our schedules. She arrived on time, was incredibly sweet with my dog, and really took the time to connect with her. It was clear she genuinely cared and made sure all of her needs were met. I would definitely recommend her and will continue to use her services moving forward!”

About: Hi, I’m Arantza! 🐾 I’ll care for your pets with the same love and attention I give to my two cats and my little dog. I know pets are more than just animals—they’re family and loyal companions who bring us joy every day. With me, your furry friends will be safe, happy, and surrounded by lots of affection. I have free time to help you so that your pet is not alone while you work or study, happy to help. I am currently studying Illustration at KVCC I care for my pets by making sure they have everything they need to feel safe, healthy, and happy. 🐾 I keep them on a regular feeding schedule, make sure they always have fresh water, and give them plenty of playtime and exercise. I also pay attention to their behavior and needs—whether they want cuddles, quiet time, or a walk outside.

About: I've been around all types of animals my whole life. Been around big dogs, little dogs, and have two medium-sized dogs myself! I have also had many cats and adore them just as much! Along with size, I have also been around different-aged dogs, I've had puppies and older dogs, and the same goes for cats. I am currently in school, and my schedule is all over the place with homework and clubs, so the weekends are my best times. However, there may be some exceptions. I plan to treat your pets like my own, with lots of love and just the right amount of treats! I'm quite active, so taking your pets out to play will not be an issue with me, they will be worn out by the time you get home!
“She was amazing! Was able to take us on short notice, loved and played with our dog like we would. She is very communicative, and even gave our cat some love (which was not part of our request). Highly recommend and will be using her again!”

“Jess was great! Always communicated with me and gave good notes so I was aware of everything that happened during the visit. I knew my baby was in good hands. I would recommend to anyone and love to book her again!”

About: I've been taking care of critters of all sorts since childhood. I grew up with cats, then when I was deemed responsible enough a slew of guinea pigs, hamsters and a ferret. During my adult years I've rescued, and rehomed more then a dozen cats. I'm also a bit of a dog lover; I've dealt with behavioral issues, doggys that need more training and a couple aggressive canines. My current pup has anxiety issues, I consider myself a bit of a master in getting all dogs to love me. I enjoy going on walks, and do appreciate being able to give your pet some happiness while their favorite human is away. My schedule is mostly open, I do have my own pup that does need my attention but I'm currently not working, and in a transitional state. my own pets eat better then I do. They are more spoiled then most children, I do appreciate getting to play and taking them for walks. It's all based on your animals need of care. I've had clients who's dog would overheat and go into seizures (thankfully never with me) but we'd throw the ball until you could tell she was warm and then go inside for a break. Play is dependant on the animal, but I do enjoy taking them for walks or throwing the ball!

“Kristen was a great walker! She accommodated a last-minute time shift, she showed up right on time, and took our pup for a good walk. We'll definitely hire her again!”

About: Hi! I’ve been dog sitting for friends and family for about 7 years now, so I’m very comfortable with all kinds of pups—different sizes, ages, and personalities. I also have a 6-year-old dog of my own who I’ve raised since he was just 8 weeks old, so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your dog. I treat every dog like they’re my own and make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and care while you’re away. Whether your pup loves walks, cuddles, or just hanging out, I’m happy to match their routine and keep them comfortable and happy. I’ll also keep you updated so you can relax knowing your dog is in good hands! I have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout the day, including weekends. Whether you need early morning visits, midday check-ins, or evening care, I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine to make sure they get the attention and care they need! I primarily care for pets in my client’s home so they can stay comfortable in their own space and stick to their normal routine. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special needs or medications. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while keeping their environment clean and stress-free. I also respect your home and keep everything just as you left it. You can expect regular updates and photos so you know your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away!
“Madelyn had been walking our dog during the week for the past couple of weeks and we honestly could not be happier!! She communicates beforehand to verify the schedule each week. She is consistent - picks up our dog for a walk same time each day! She provides us with pictures and updates on how the walk went. Our dog Emma can be a little extra (German Shepherd energy) and Madelyn is great with her! We are so thankful we found Madelyn!”
