“Amazing as always! She helps so much when I work long hours to take my big baby boy on a much needed walk! We’re always so happy with the care Vivien provides!”
“This was the second time I have had Hannah take care of my dog and she is amazing! I had a very last minute day trip and I needed to have someone walk my dog. With in hours of seeing the request she was able to come take care of my dog and I am so thankful!”
“Evie was incredible. She took time to meet my dog before we booked the walks to ensure my dog knew her. And she gave me such peace of mind with her regular updates. My dog has some separation anxiety and I had to work a couple late days when I normally take her to the office, but Evie and her gentleness with my pup put me at ease knowing she was taken care of when I couldn’t. Will 100% book again. Thank you, Evie!”

About: I have always treated my pets like they are my own children, and I will care for your pets with that same love and attention. Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I have shared my home with dogs, cats, bunnies, lizards, and even fish. I truly believe pets are family and deserve all the love and care in the world. At home, I have a Bichon and a Goldendoodle. They may be different in size, but they are the best of friends and mean the world to me! 🐾💛 When Rover asks how many years of pet care experience I have, my honest answer is my entire life. I have never known a time when I did not have an animal by my side. I am currently working from home full time! With my work, I will have plenty of time to care for your pets and give them the attention they need and deserve. I take my two dogs on walks almost every day! Even when it is cold, I bundle myself up and I put them in sweaters. My little Bichon has booties to keep her paws warm. Throughout my work day, I take breaks to throw around toys for them and go outside with them. Luckily, my family member will care of my doggies while I am away caring for yours!

I am a july C/O 2019 college graduate from stautzenberger college for animal welfare business managment. I am a caregiver of people and also work for an animal facility. I have been around dogs my whole life as a kid which was more than 5 dogs at a time. I am available for any service needed and boarding is always needed for when you have to leave out of town so,i will be available.

Let me know if you are needing help with someone watching your animal while your away. Thanks so much.! i am currently working fulltime in the healthcare field but, I still make time for your lovely animals. When your pet is here they will be in good caring hands. I've been doing dog boarding on the since 2018. No need to worry your dog will be taken Care of to the best of my ability. With 2 dogs or more that aren't in the same house hold, dogs are separated in there own cages. I don't have dogs together unless they are compatible with other dogs. This consists with dog boarding only. Dogs will have play time during the day. You know the saying a tired dog is a happy dog. When I leave dogs are caged until I return back home which isn't too long in between. If dogs are compatible with one another I let them play together. I normally take dogs on a walk or through the neighborhood. I do have a fenced in backyard for them to run and play. 🐶🐕 I'm free whenever you need me majority of the time. I sometimes take dogs to work with me but if not they will still be in the best care always. I crate dogs when needed. My yard is fenced in. All dogs will be safe in all conditions at all times. 🐕 * Woof *
“Kathleen was awesome! Having her look after our dogs while being at work made us feel so much at ease knowing they were well taken care of. We will definitely use her again!”
“I have a broken foot and cannot walk my senior dog Dusty. I was leery to hire someone I didn't know. Mark was amazing with Dusty !. He got right down on the floor to greet and play with him. He even coaxed Dusty to take a longer walk. I highly recommend him for his positive and eager approach to dogs.”
About: i’ve taken care of animals since I received my first pet when I was 5 years old. I’ve worked and volunteered at animal shelters for a few years. This experience has taught me how to care for animals mentally, physically, and medically. I have a huge heart when it comes to any kind of animal, and I would love to help you take care of your fur baby! I am a nursing major in college with a weird schedule that doesn’t allow me to get a normal part time job. A side hustle would keep me busy and work great with my schedule! I know plenty of, dog friendly, walking areas. I enjoy playing with animals and keeping them company. Animals are aloud in my car. I have a fenced in backyard with two fur babies of my own that love play dates.
About: I have been helping take care of the dogs of my friends and family ever since I was young. I love taking care of animals and am an avid fan of walks so I would be happy to take your dog on one! My schedule is a little tight right now due to school, but I am usually available on weekends! And sometimes over holidays as well :) I’m willing to make drop in visits to your house to feed, walk, or just spend time with your animal! I will make sure to send you updates during the drop in time.
About: Hi there! I'm Kristie, a lifelong animal lover. I've had pets since I was a kid. This includes bunnies, cats, a dog, hamsters, a ferret, and many others. I'm always happiest when I'm surrounded by fuzzy friends. We have recently welcomed a dog into our family who is now 9 months old. She has taught me all about playtime, patience, and puppy energy. She is the extra family member that I never knew I needed until now! I spent a year working at a local cat shelter where I cared for dozens of cats and even adopted a few myself! I still visit often just to give the kitties some extra love and attention, in hopes that it will help them find their furever homes. I treat every pet like part of my own family because that's what they are to me. Family members. I am gentle, loving, and attentive. I also love to be active and playful when your pups ready for fun. Whether it's a relaxing snuggle, a long walk, or an overnight stay, your pet will get reliable care, comfort and plenty of affection while you're away. I am currently working part-time. So I am available early afternoons and weekends to take in or check in on your furry babies. I'm also available mornings and evenings for home check ins and walks. I know how much trust it takes to let someone care for your pets, and I take that responsibility to heart. When your dog or cat is with me, they’re treated just like one of my own—with love, patience, and attention to every detail. For boarding, I make sure pets have a safe, cozy, and welcoming space where they can relax and feel at home. I keep things calm and consistent so they stay comfortable and happy. During house sitting, I respect your home as if it were my own and make sure your pets stick to their usual routines, keeping everything familiar and stress-free. When we’re out for walks, I always prioritize safety—using secure leashes, staying alert, and giving dogs the right mix of fun and structure. I’m careful, gentle, and always tuned in to how your pet is feeling. You’ll get regular updates and pictures because I know how much peace of mind it brings to see your furry family happy and cared for while you’re away. ❤️
About: Howdy! Born an animal lover, and a former Veterinary Technician. Along with personal pet care, work experience and education I’ve volunteered through many humane societies and foster clubs across the country. I’m comfortable working with any pets you have, including farm animals and exotics! I’m happy to assist with potty/crate training, socialization, etc. I’m experienced in administering oral medications, injections, and sub-q fluids.

As a parent myself, a picture speaks a thousand words. I understand the importance of transparency and will love sharing pictures and videos with you (with your permission) for your piece of mind while you're away.
About: I’ve willingly and forever loved taking care of neighborhood animals, including strays. Family and friends always trust me with their precious babies. As animals tend to gravitate towards me I gravitate right back and will not be scared to respect their little boundaries and let the shy one’s slowly open up. Big or small, labeled as scary or the friendliest I promise your babies are safe with me. Not to mention you will be sent photoshoots we have throughout the day!!!! As I am super into self care, walks are very important to me! I am also looking for another job as I currently work part time at lowes!!! At the moment i’m not open for in my home animal care, but in yours I can guarantee lots of play time. More than enough hugs if they’re willing to hug of course. Taking care of your and your fur babies home is my goal! Clean ups I can do. Along with special help from your fur baby keeping me company and getting praised for being so helpful as they stare at me clueless but love how my tone is so friendly.
About: I've taken care of dogs for over 4 decades. I've helped with puppy litters. Older dogs require more finesse. I treat any dog like they are mine. I work the school system so until May I'm available after 4pm. I work another job 2 days a week and Saturday so my availability is open. I will be the only one in your home. I follow any rules set by owner because their animal needs to feel comfortable with who is taking care of them. They aren't going outside unless I know the leash is attached or the gates are closed and locked
