Her services are beyond my expectations.”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, currently I have a big doggo named Zeus, and he is the friendliest dog you’ll ever meet! I love walking my dog around the yard, since I live out in the country I have lots of space to walk the dog and he enjoys the wildlife just as much as I do (especially the squirrels). I am currently working at hometown heroes during the evenings, so I have all morning to walk your dogs until 4:30 pm. The only days I am not available would be Sunday and Monday. I can start earliest 7:30 am and end at latest 3:30 pm. My cats and dogs are friendly animals, although i don’t plan on sitting animals at my own house, there is no worry if there was ever a situation that needed me to bring home a pet. My whole family also loves cats and dogs and will definitely keep a good eye on them too!

About: I’ve had cats, dogs, chickens, ducks, and horses growing up. Having a wide range of animals growing up has helped me learn what a pet is wanting and needing. I’m currently a college student, my evening can be flexible as well as my weekends! Willing to work with owners to create a balance that works for me and your pets.

About: I have been taking care of my pets (several dogs, feeding, walking, bathing) since I was in middle school. I especially love taking care of senior pets, but enjoy young pets as well. I can work with pets with all levels of energy and training. I am a full time Childserve employee, so I am available to walk and look after pets after 5 M-F, and I I am open weekends. I enjoy playing catch, going on jogs/walks, and just playing with pets at home. My goal is to make them as comfortable as possible and leave the owner without any worries as to the safety of their babies.

About: As someone who has been around dogs since the age of 9, pet care comes naturally to me. I have always had a deep love and appreciation for animals, and have made it my mission to care for them intentionally. Over the years, I have gained extensive experience in pet sitting, dog walking, and basic grooming. I take pride in providing the highest level of care for every pet I encounter, and strive to create a comfortable and safe environment for them. My passion for animal welfare drives me to always go above and beyond for the pets under my care, ensuring that they receive the love and attention they deserve. Dog sitting is a great option for me. I can easily take care of the dog during the day while I work, and have plenty of time to spend with them on the weekends. Plus, since I'm already at home, it's convenient for me to give the dog the attention and care they need throughout the day. When entrusted to care for a dog owner's pet in their home while they are away, I provide attentive and responsible care. This involves following the owner's instructions for feeding, exercise, and any medication or special needs the pet may have. I also make sure the pet receives plenty of love and attention, with regular playtime and cuddles. Additionally, I keep the home clean and tidy, and communicate with the owner as needed to ensure they have peace of mind knowing their pet is in good hands.
