“I have booked with Dylan a few times and he is always great with my rambunctious pitty! His communication is awesome and he always sends cute pics so I know my boy is happy and well taken care of.”
About: I had 2 dogs growing up and have experience with various breeds through my work and schooling. I am educated on assessing body language and handling aggression, excitement, etc. I have extensive experience with cats, and take care of multiple cats both at work and those belonging to relatives. I work full time at an animal hospital, so I will be available after work hours most days during the week, but am mostly free on weekends! I can arrive early depending on the travel distance and stay late— whatever you need I am open to discussing! As I do not board animals in my own home, your comfort is one of my top priorities. I am clean, consistent, reliable, and value communication. You and your animal’s comfort with is very important to me!
About: My family and I love animals. I grew up on a farm. With that being said, I know the value of caring for animals and have a good work ethic. Along with my family we have helped raise 3 guiding eyes for the blind dogs. We have raised 3 dogs of our very own, along with rabbits, Guinea pigs, chickens and a few other pets. I will care for your pets as our own. I will play with them. I will take them on walks. I will follow your instructions. I will crate your animal as needed. I can care for a puppy, a small dog, a big dog, an energetic dog. and elder dog or somewhere in between. I look forward to meeting you and your pet. I do work M-F. but my family and I work together to care for your pet. We will make sure they go out often, and are played with every day. I do not have a fenced in yard. We walk dogs on a leash, we have plenty of land to do this. We take the dogs out often, and play with them as well. *** If I am watching a pet in your home, I require you to tell me if you have cameras in or outside your home.
About: I have taken care of and owned dogs my entire life. My home has never been without one. I have had cats for several years now as well. I am currently a student with a lot of time on my hands and know the feeling of worrying about someone taking care of your pets when needed. I have an open yard because of how close to the woods we live and not many neighbors either. I can crate your dog if necessary.
“I am so happy to have found Emily. She clearly loves animals and they seem to like her very much. She is responsible, shows up on time and does a fantastic job. I'm hoping to hire her again, not just for walks, but also for overnight pet sitting. Anyone who loves their pets will be happy -- she is someone who can be trusted!”
About: I've been an animal lover since I was a young girl and want to have a positive impact on every fur baby I come into contact with. So far in my early years of life I've cared for 3 dogs of my own, from having a super calm lab mix to having a hound mix with anxiety and high energy. In 2018 I adopted a 5 month old lab pit mix from a high kill shelter through East Coast Adoptions. Taking on a high maintenance dog has it's challenges but extremely rewarding. He taught me so much, including patience and how to become a good trainer. Message me to find out more about my services! I just moved back to my home town and have a flexible schedule that will allow me to pop in and check on your fur baby while still keeping an open schedule 💖 I had a fenced in yard growing up at my parents house that allowed my pups the exercise needed daily as well as afternoon walks. I will no longer be able to provide boarding/ overnight care as an option at this point but happy to work with your needs to come up with a compromise!
About: I’ve had animals since I could walk. They have always been a part of my life. I worked at an animal shelter for a few years, working with dogs, cats, horses, and even goats. I bathed dogs, took them on walks, and even administered medicine when needed. I am currently a stay-at-home mom so I have a ton of time to spend caring and playing with your furry friends! My daughter loves animals as well and treats them with respect! I have big yard with tons of space for your dogs to roam! If you would like, I have space for their crates as well.
“Megan does twice a week drop in visits/walks with my 11yo pitbull who adores her. Megan is super communicative, accommodating with scheduling and always sends the cutest pictures of Stella. We’re super lucky to have found Megan!”
“We are looking forward to booking Elizabeth again! She responded quickly to a last minute booking and was prompt with all communication. We could tell from her walk photos and description that our dog had a great time!”
About: I'm a Certified Professional Dog Trainer, Knowledge Assessed (CPDT-KA), and I have over 15 years of working with dogs in veterinary clinics, humane societies, boarding kennels, grooming parlors, and most recently, managing a doggy daycare and teaching classes for a dog training institution. I own 13 acres of woods and fields that allows for dogs to run and play, though boarders use long lines for safety. Each dog who comes into my home will retain basic manners, including waiting at doors, loose leash walking skills, and come when called commands. I'm experienced with and capable of handling under-socialized or even aggressive dogs. I simply work with dogs on an individualized basis, to develop appropriate relationships with each pet. I love dogs, all dogs, and they tend to love me back.
“Dennis is personable, prompt, and flexible. He offers a variety of services for your canine companion. I appreciated his very thoughtful observation of my dog’s body language, behavior, and preference cues - Elliot can take a moment to warm up to new friends and lives to play with his flirt stick. I would, without reservation, recommend Dennis as your walker, play date companion, and house sitter.”
About: I have many years of experience working with dogs of all sizes. Enjoy walking dogs. Will care for your dog and treat them as family. I’m able to take care of your animal during day, evening or even for overnight. I’m always walking dogs and pet sitting cats and dogs. I will follow instructions for what is needed. Will keep animals safe and ensure that any animals that are not allowed outside don’t go outside. I will play with animals, empty litter box, and ensure they are safe before leaving.
