“Laurie was great! She sent updates on my pup and eased my mind about leaving her behind. Would definitely use her again!”


“Sara is the best. I really like that she took the time and care came to meet us before her time with my dog. She was very attentive and informative about what was going on during her visits with my girl. She is extremely kind and it is quick to see that she does this for the love of the job. My huskey absolutely fell in love with her and we will be working with Sara again in the future. 😊”


“Andy has been a wonderful companion to Louie. I have a four-year-old bull terrier, which is a very fussy breed with a lot of quirks. She showed up early for a meet and greet and has embraced my dog's silliness with a great attitude and tons of compassion. Louie comes home from his walks tired and happy.”


About: I’ve had multiple dogs in my life for as long as I can remember. Currently the proud pup father to 4 sweet babies of all ages. I’m currently enrolled in professional dog training courses. Whether it’s a new puppy you’re adding to the family or your senior companion, their time spent with me will be rewarding for both you and the pup! I currently have plenty of time and can fit just about any situation into my schedule! I’m looking to be involved with dogs as a full time career! I have extra crates at home if you would like your pup to be crated. If not, your dog will roam inside my home along side my fur babies to keep them company! We are in the process now of fencing 3 acres to give the pups more space than they know what to do with!

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities. I grew up in a home with multiple pets and have personally cared for breeds ranging from energetic Weimaraners to gentle Great Pyrenees and playful small pups. As a student on summer break, I have plenty of availability to give your pet the time and attention they deserve. Whether it’s multiple daily visits for potty breaks and playtime, overnight stays in your home, or hosting your pet in my apartment, I’m happy to accommodate your needs. If your dog stays with me, they’ll have the option to interact with my roommate’s friendly 3-year-old, 40-pound beagle mix—only if you’re comfortable with that, of course. My top priority is making sure your furry friend feels safe, comfortable, and never lonely. Looking forward to meeting you and your pet! I’m a college student currently on summer break. I decided not to take on an inflexible job this summer so I could focus on studying for the MCAT and participating in a pre-med program. Now that those commitments are wrapping up, I have a lot of free time and flexibility—perfect for giving your pet the attention, care, and company they deserve! Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. I always follow your care instructions closely to make sure their routine stays consistent and stress-free. Whether that means sticking to a strict feeding schedule, giving them space, or making time for extra cuddles and play—I’m here to support whatever works best for them. I want you to feel confident that your pet is in good hands and getting the love and attention they need while you’re away.

“Vincent was amazing as always!”


“Eleanor continues to provide meaningful care on my Zeke dog’s weekly walks and seamless communication surrounding all walks. We are grateful and happy to have her in our lives - as will you!”


About: Not only am I a pet owner myself, but I have cared for many friends' and family members' pets over the years. I currently have a dog and two cats. I work full-time for the school system, but am off during the summers, which gives me ample flexibility. During the school year, I still maintain home-work life balance as I am home by 4:00 p.m. I do not have a fenced in yard, however I own my house which houses one dog and two cats. My dog is crate and leash trained.

“Im so appreciative of Linda for taking a last minute request to walk my dog on a Saturday night on thanksgiving weekend. She was very good with my finicky and nervous dog. Will definitely use again and highly recommend.”


About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was 13, and it’s something I truly love.

I treat every pet like they’re part of the family—with patience, attention, and lots of care. Whether it’s playtime or quiet time, I adapt to each pet’s needs and personality to make sure they feel safe and loved. I am currently a college student at Western while working one day a week at a gift shop. My schedule is open most days to care for pups and kitties! I live in a house with a fenced yard to play in, including a sweet cat if clients prefer to board in my house. I can also care for pets in the comfort of their home if provided! I am flexible with what situation I’m dealt with. I’m able to send updates, pictures, or calls if they also want to check up on their baby!

I currently have a pretty open schedule but can easily adjust my schedule as needed with proper notice to make time to care for your fur-babies! I have 10 pets of my own at the moment so pet care is a very big part of my daily routine.

About: I've had experience with a variety of animals from a young age, including dogs and cats. Family and friends have relied on me for their pet needs including walks, training, bathing, etc. I have open availability to fit your schedule. I work part-time within a company that offers me flexible hours. I'm looking to work with animals full-time at this time. I take animal care very seriously and always keep an eye out for animals entrusted into my care. That includes watching them while they enjoy their time outside, and keep harmful items put away in a safe place. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine. I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, so feeding, walking, playtime, and providing lots of love and attention are just second nature to me.

Caring for animals isn’t just a job for me—it’s something I truly enjoy and prioritize every day. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I always treat them like part of the family. In my home, I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment with plenty of room to relax and play.

When I’m in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and strive to keep their pet’s routine consistent to reduce stress. I make sure they have fresh water, meals on time, lots of attention, and regular potty or walk breaks. Whether it’s cuddles, playtime, or administering medications, I care for every pet like they’re my own.

About: I have taken care of animals since I was in fourth grade. Growing up, I would take my childhood dog to agility and obedience classes on the weekends. Family members, neighbors, and friends have reached out when they need a pet sitter and I am always happy to lend a helping hand. I will be sure to send updates throughout the times I am responsible for your pet as I know how important they are to your family. I work full-time remotely and have the ability to be flexible for drop-in times during weekdays. On weekends, I will ensure that your pets are well attended to by not leaving them alone for extended periods of time. I will keep your pets routine as normal as I can in your home. I am more than willing to take care of multiple pets at once. At this time, I am not able to watch pets in my house. During the time your pet is in my care, you can expect timely status updates and pictures.

She ensures Kelsa’s comfort, keeps her on her routine, and makes sure she’s always safe and happy.
