About: I’m a proud dog mom to a 5-year-old Shiba Inu and have also cared for friends’ and neighbors’ dogs and cats over the years. As a pet owner myself, I completely understand the worry that comes with being away from your furry companion. That’s why I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own—with patience, love, and attention to detail. I'm responsive, reliable, and committed to making sure both you and your pet feel safe and comfortable. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to caring for your pet. I’m available for daytime check-ins and walks, and I can easily adjust to your pet’s routine and specific needs to help them feel comfortable and cared for. In your home, I’ll follow your pet’s routine closely—whether it’s feeding schedules, walk times, or play preferences—to keep things familiar and stress-free. I always treat your home with respect and maintain a clean, safe environment for your pet. You’ll receive regular updates with messages, photos, or videos, so you can feel confident knowing your pet is in good hands while you're away.

About: I have experience with dogs of all ages, and I am an expert puppy trainer. I am well versed in all the basics of walking, feeding, giving medications and comforting a dog when sleeping in a new environment. My experience has also helped me to develop fun training activities that will ensure that your pet will enjoy their time with me and possibly return to you with some new tricks to show you. I work from home so I have a lot of time to spend hanging out with dogs. I also love my clients that require extra walks because it’s a great reminder for me to get away from the computer screen and get some fresh air. I have a wide empty entry way in my apartment, perfect for my daycare clients to get comfortable. I also have a large fenced in backyard for us to play in when the dogs need to burn off a bit more energy.

“Eugene was great. Responded really quick and showed up on time to help feed my puppy. He was very careful, very friendly and very respectful to everything in my house. He even stayed a little bit to play with my puppy to keep her company! I would definitely recommend!”

“Everything went well with Cynthia’s drop in visits for Watson. He was well fed and received all his medications. His litter looked fresh and clean and the bags were neatly tied up. She spent time each visit socializing with him. I was well pleased and will use her again I’m sure.”

About: Hi, I’m Gina — your neighborhood dog-walking buddy! 🐾 I’m here to give your pup the fresh air, exercise, and attention they deserve while you’re busy or away. I’ve always had a natural connection with animals, and I genuinely love spending time outdoors with dogs of all breeds and personalities. Whether your dog is high-energy and needs a brisk walk, or prefers a slower stroll with lots of sniff breaks, I tailor each walk to their pace and comfort. I’m reliable, patient, and always make safety a top priority — on every leash, in every step. I’m available for regular walks or occasional outings, and I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you know how your furry friend is doing. Let’s make walks the best part of their day (and yours)! I am currently working part-time and will have plenty of time for walks with your furry friend. Dog walking is something I truly enjoy and have intentionally made time for in my daily routine. I love being outside, staying active, and spending time with animals, so fitting in dog walks is a natural and rewarding part of my day. I plan my schedule around my walks to ensure I’m always punctual, focused, and fully present with each dog I care for. Whether it’s a morning energy boost, a midday break, or an evening wind-down, I make sure every walk fits smoothly and reliably into my routine. As a dog walker, I treat every pet like they’re my own — with patience, attentiveness, and care. I always make sure the dog is safely leashed, comfortable, and given plenty of time to sniff, explore, and exercise at their own pace. I bring water for longer walks and keep an eye on weather conditions to ensure their safety and comfort. If I’m entering a client’s home for pick-up or drop-off, I’m extremely respectful of their space. I follow any specific instructions they’ve left, such as wiping paws, locking up, or using a designated entrance. I also make sure food, water, and comfort needs are met if needed, and I always double-check that the home is secure before leaving. Most importantly, I focus on building trust — with the pets and their people — by being consistent, communicative, and kind.

About: I have been taking care of pets since I was in elementary school. It is second nature. The needs of your pet will always be my first priority. I have cared for almost any indoor pet you can imagine to include: dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, birds, snakes, ferrets, fish, and more. I used to help train puppies to join the service industry, from police dogs to service dogs for the disabled while I was in college. I have cared for puppies to the elderly. If your furry friend is spoiled and requires a home cooked meal, I am your girl. Even if they don’t that is ok. If your pet is getting old, I am very well versed on keeping a medication schedule and tricking them into taking them. No matter the temperament or age and needs of your beloved pet, I believe I have the skills and desire to ensure you pet feels loved and cared for in your absence. You will not regret leaving your pet in my hands. I am currently working remotely with a flexible schedule. I can move my schedule around to ensure your pets needs are being met. Their wish is my command, as long as their pet parents are ok with it (: Your wish is my command. I can stay over night if requested or have extended visits for your furry friend who might need a little more love and play time while their parents are out of town. I will walk your dog or cat if that is something they are accustomed to. I will always ensure they are having all their needs taken care of and have fresh water and food as directed.
