“Laura is absolutely wonderful! We had a snafu with our previous walker and Laura handled it like a pro and treated our pup so well! Book Laura!”

About: I’ve had 11 pets in my lifetime! Two of my cats lived to be 24!, so they were definitely spoiled. I currently have a puppy that is a lab and pit bull mix and man is he wild. I have taken care of animals most of my life (even pregnant dogs) and I treat each one as my own. I have taken care of my friends fur babies for over 4 years and I’d be happy to take care of yours as well! I’m a college student finishing my degree, and I’m only in class for about an hour a day, so I’m home most of the time! My schedule is very flexible, which gives me plenty of time for walks, playtime, potty breaks, cuddles, and lots of attention. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always come first! I have two friendly miniature dachshunds of my own, so I’m very used to keeping a close eye on pets and following their normal routines. I’m happy to accommodate crates, feeding schedules, medications, special instructions, or anything else that helps your pet feel at home.

About: I started pet-sitting at ten with my twin, quickly becoming the neighborhood’s go-to for pets, plants, and house care. I love checking in, feeding, walking, and playing with animals. As a recent college graduate missing my flatcoat Apollo, I’m comfortable with high-energy dogs, especially hunting breeds. I work full-time, but I have plenty of time in the evenings and weekends. I am very active and would love to take your dog on a walk or outside. Small shared yard at apartment. Can hang out at home and do work with your furry friend or I can take them to the nearby park.

About: I’ve been working with dogs for over 19 years and provide a structured, calm, and safe environment in my home. I have a dedicated dog room with secure kennels, supervised interaction, and clear boundaries. I currently own and train multiple dogs, including a fully trained service animal and another dog I’ve personally raised and developed. This gives me strong experience with behavior, energy management, and different personalities. Dogs in my care are treated like family, but with structure. They can enjoy comfort like furniture once they demonstrate respectful behavior and cleanliness. I do not allow destructive or uncontrolled habits. I’m comfortable with puppies and can reinforce basic training, routine, and good behavior during their stay. I also provide advanced training reinforcement as part of my care. Dogs naturally work on obedience, confidence, impulse control, and daily mental and physical engagement while they’re here. I have experience building service-style task foundations and higher-level behavior, but I do not certify service animals. Every dog benefits from structure in my home, whether they need basic manners or more advanced work. My focus is safety, consistency, and communication so every dog is properly supervised, exercised, and leaves more balanced, responsive, and confident. Pet care is part of my daily routine, not something I fit in on the side. I’m home most of the day, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, structured interaction, and regular potty breaks, exercise, and mental engagement. My background in disciplined environments has shaped how I run my home—dogs here benefit from routine, clear expectations, and a calm, controlled atmosphere. Each day includes a balance of activity, training reinforcement, and rest so dogs stay healthy, settled, and stress-free. Because I’m available throughout the day, I can adapt to each dog’s needs—whether that’s higher energy, puppy structure, or a more relaxed pace. My goal is to provide dependable, attentive care so owners can feel confident their dog is safe, engaged, and well looked after at all times. Safety, trust, and structure are the foundation of how I care for every dog. My home is set up specifically for pet care, with a dedicated dog room, secure kennels, and supervised interaction at all times. I carefully manage introductions and only allow dogs to interact once they are calm, balanced, and a good fit. Dogs in my care follow a structured routine that includes regular potty breaks, exercise, mental stimulation, and rest. I maintain clear boundaries while still allowing comfort—dogs can enjoy furniture and a relaxed environment once they demonstrate respectful behavior and cleanliness. I require dogs to be crate familiar or comfortable with structured downtime. Owners are encouraged to provide a crate or familiar setup for overnight stays, though I have limited kennel space available if needed. I prioritize communication and will keep owners updated with how their dog is doing. My goal is to provide a calm, controlled environment where dogs feel safe, are properly supervised, and leave more balanced and well cared for than when they arrived.

“Maggie is a great communicator and has been so sweet with my dog!! She was very patient and waited until he felt comfortable coming out of his crate during her first visit. Maggie is very easy to work with and provides excellent care. I never worry about my dog while he is with Maggie because of how experienced, knowledgeable, and trustworthy she has proven to be. I would highly recommend her!”

“Laura is a great sitter! She was prompt, communicated, and followed instructions to a tee. She went above and beyond to make sure me and my pup were comfortable and satisfied. I hope to work with her again in the future!”

About: I’ve had animals my whole life. Dogs, cats, cows, horses, and fish. My pets are treated like family. I have house trained dogs and can even teach a few tricks. My animals mostly stay inside. They are house trained but do go out to play often. They eat twice a day and sleep well at night. My pets are family members and I would treat anyone’s the same. I know how important they are to me and I would make sure they are comfortable and taken good care of. I even clean litter boxes.

“Thank you so much for walking Izzy for us and being flexible with your availability!”

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was 10 years old, probably younger. I've cared for at least 40 animals in my lifetime, most of which belonged to me. I have been trusted to walk, feed, and bathe pets countless times. I have a pretty relaxed schedule so aside from social obligations, I’m usually free and if I’m not, send me a message anyway, maybe I can work something out. I wouldn't be able to care for animals in my own home but you can trust and believe that I will care for your fur babies to the best of my ability in your home. I promise to treat your home and pet with the highest of respect.
