“She is great with my dog!”

About: I have helped my mom run a pet sitting business in high shcool! I’ve been around animals my whole life from small to giant size. I will run and play ball with your dog and am not afraid to get slobbery! I have a great sense and understanding of animal behavior. Also due to my job and college degree in psychology I am experienced and knowledgeable in ABA training. So I would love to assist in training appropriate behaviors in a puppy or an older dog with behavioral issues so that I myself can grow and learn as well as your dog. Animals are my passion and joy in life and I believe they will love me just as much as I’ll love them! I’m currently a home maker so I will be home full time with your pet and available all times of day for walks and visits. I have a 3 year old and an infant that will accompany during visits and walks. They are very gentle and friendly with pets as we have had many animals in their life. I have a fenced in yard but we also going on daily family walks. We have two dogs who are very friendly and two cats who typically stay hidden during the day.

“Angela was punctual, patient, kind to my dog, took a ton of pictures, and helped me with Rover booking issues. I will request her services again, for sure.”

About: I have had pets, dogs and cats, pretty much all of my adult life. Love all kinds of animals. My last pet was a basset hound that was with me for 11 years till she passed. On the days I am available, my schedule is very flexible so I will be able to meet all of your pet care needs for you furry friend. I will make sure you pet is given the love and attention he/she needs while you are away. No need to worry about your furry friend while you are away.

“During our meet and greet Loki took to Jordann fairly easy, so I felt good about her walking Loki. Yesterday was their first walk together and it went well(besides the heat). I came home and noticed that Loki was happy and very playful, all thanks to Jordann. Loki and I are looking forward to our weekly walks. I highly recommend Jordann, just not on Mondays and Tuesday ?”

“Top of the charts, look no farther, this is your guy for any service he provides. We will 100% work with Alan again and will recommend him to our family/friends that could use his services. Alan is super professional, always on-time and did right by our dog. Alan walked our dog 2-3 times a week over a period of a few months. Over the months that passed, he was always flexible if needed on my end, was quick to respond to messages and is just a good person. Our dog can overheat pretty easy and one day while waiting for our boy to get back I saw Alan carrying him in his arms up the street. He didnt have to do what he did, but he forever indebted himself to us due to that act of profound kindness. Thank you my friend for helping take care of our boy, all the best to you!!”

“Amazing experience from the beginning! Suzanna was friendly, attentive and communicative. She was extremely patient with Tucker even when he didn’t want to walk and always made sure he was comfortable before leaving. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone and will be reaching out to her again for sure!”

About: I have had dogs my entire life, and got my own dog when I was 14. Now there are 3 dogs at my house that I take care of during the day. I am attentive to the behavior of dogs and have a general understanding of it. I currently work at a museum on Monday and Tuesday, and am free any other time during the week. I am also a college student, and will be going back to school in late August. I will go on walks, play games and give your dog plenty of attention. Considering I have three dogs at my house, I am not comfortable bringing a client’s dog to my house in case there is a bad reaction to each other.

About: I have grown up around animals my whole life including living on a farm for 8 years that included cats, dogs (15lbs-130lbs), and many others! I have taken care of many different animals that have a wide range of sizes! I have also been a hospice fosters in the past am I am very comfortable giving oral meds, IM meds, or IV medication to your animals. Pet care is very important to me! Having grown up around animals my whole life, the most important thing to me is that the pet stays happy and healthy. Pet care falls into my everyday life because it is very important to me. Having pets at home means a happy face always waiting for you to come home and love on them again. I have 2 dogs and 5 horses currently (off property at a different barn). I’m happy to take your pet for a walk, play with them indoors or outdoors, or just hangout with them. If your pet requires a strict bathroom schedule, I can follow it. I’m happy to help keep your pet as happy as can be! For in home pet sitting, I’m happy to come hangout with your dog or cat during the morning, afternoon, or evening well providing play opportunities, meals/snacks, and bathroom break. I however, will not be able to spend the night at your place due to me having dogs of my own at home that I must take care of as well.

About: With years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, I specialize in providing personalized care tailored to each pet's unique needs. Whether it's puppies requiring training, senior dogs needing extra attention, or energetic pups needing daily exercise, I ensure each dog feels safe, loved, and well cared for. My passion for animals and commitment to their well-being sets me apart, and I bring a nurturing touch that creates a positive, stress-free experience for both pets and owners. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine as I prioritize the well-being of animals alongside my other responsibilities. I structure my day to include dedicated time for dog walks, feeding, play, and any special needs like medication or training sessions. On a weekly basis, I ensure I have flexibility to accommodate pet visits, whether it’s regular check-ins or extended stays. My routine is organized to ensure that every pet receives the care, attention, and affection they deserve, making it an enriching and rewarding part of my day. I respect the pet’s familiar surroundings, keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I provide walks, feedings, playtime, and regular check-ins. For pets with special needs, I follow any specific instructions such as administering medications or offering extra comfort to senior pets.

About: I’ve taken care of many animals on my family’s small farm including three dogs, chickens, a pig, sheep, and bees! I’ve always loved dogs and got my first dog before I can remember. Two of our family dogs are hyper cattle dogs that have required lots of training, so I’m no stranger to the zoomies! One of our dogs is a rescue and arrived to us with anxiety and Lymes disease among other issues. I know how far a little extra love for our dogs can go! I care for my dogs at home every day with walks and cuddles. I love to go on walks anyways and would love to take other dogs along with me. I’m able to take my pets and others on walks and have a dog sleeve for my car in case of emergencies or outings. I’m familiar with pet medications and many types of food.

About: 20+ years of pet care experience. In high school and college I worked as a vet tech, and at a boarding/daycare/grooming facility. I have also worked with livestock at numerous farms and horse boarding facilities. I now have 1 dog, 3 cats, and a horse of my own. I love building relationships with pets (those that want it) or giving space (for the more nervous and anxious ones). I pride myself on being able to accurately read each pet and knowing what they need. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule which makes pet sitting amazing! I am able to watch pets while you're away and keep them on whatever schedule best works for them. I'm also available for mid-day let-outs and walks! I make sure each pet is comfortable around me. If they are happy, energetic pets- I make sure to help them get their energy out so they look forward to seeing me! If they're more reserved and nervous, I make sure to go slow so they do not see me as a threat and I do not try and cloud their space, while also reassuring them I am a safe person.

“She is amazing and goes above and beyond. My dog loves her and looks forward to his walks with her. I will use her again whenever I need someone to walk my dog. She treated him as if he is her own pet. Lovely and sweet and trustworthy.”

About: I am a registered nurse who loves animals and wants to pick up dog walking! I have been taking care of animal since I was a kid and have treated each like my own. I have worked with a wide variety of dogs as I worked at a boarding kennel and daycare center in the past. I have 5 dogs of my own and one day will have my own kennel! You won’t regret letting me take care of your pup! (or kitty!) I am a registered nurse and work two days a week. I am very interested in filling in those gap days with caring for animals! I have a fenced yard and years of experience of keeping dogs away from others for various reasons. I also would watch at your house too; however I do not offer this service right now.

About: With the exception of a few years during college, I have always had animals in my life! I grew up always having a cat and a dog in the house and taking progressively more responsibility for their care as I got older. Now, I'm owned by two dogs (a boxer mix and a lab mix) and two cats, one of which followed my boxer and I home one day and decided to stay. They are by far the best part of my day. With all these fur babies, I've run the gauntlet of pet care challenges, from pilling cats, to dealing with allergies, to working on behaviors like marking and excessive barking. I don't claim to have it all figured out, but what I do know is that it's made me incredibly patient and compassionate with any animals in my care. Plus I've learned a trick or two along the way! I currently work for myself (from home) as a research consultant. While I do have periodic meetings throughout the week, I usually have a significant amount of flexibility in my schedule during the mornings and afternoons. I often find myself going out on multiple long walks throughout the day and generally finding any excuse I can to be outside. So why not use that time to hang out with some new animal friends? My flexible schedule means that I can accommodate most any pet needs. I go for multiple walks every day both on my own and with my own dogs, so it's easy to incorporate lots of activity in your pet's day. I also have an enclosed front porch that we all love sitting outside in the shade on, just enjoying the fresh air. And on hot days, I even have a kiddie pool that one of my dogs likes to play in to cool off. Both my dogs are very friendly and would love to make new friends! One of my cats even enjoys horsing around with the dogs. My dogs have free reign in the house, but usually hang out with me. I'm happy to have your dog(s) make themself at home as well or to crate them if that's your preference.

About: I’ve been caring for animals ever since I was around 8 years old and I have had almost any pet you could imagine! I have two years of experience with working with dogs in a physical dog daycare and tons more independent experience as I own 3 dogs and I even bottle raised one of my pups. I’m free essentially every afternoon as well as all days on Tuesdays and Saturdays to provide your pets with any care needed! I would love to give your fur babies the absolute best care. I have 3 dogs of various sizes and temperaments that would love to play with your pups and become BFF’S. I also have multiple areas to keep pups separated and an outdoor area so your pup can lay in all the sun they could dream of.
