About: I worked at a Vet Clinic for five years where I worked with dogs of all ages. My specialty was senior dogs. I consider myself patient and loving. I’m currently in between being done with my masters degree and looking for a new job with my degree. I’m taking a break between now and then so I have plenty of time to provide services ! I have one dog who is very friendly to other animals. I have one cat who is very independent and will not be a bother to any other friends.

“Booked for dog walking and I am confident my dog also gives her 5 stars. My dog loved Ali immediately, first sight. Ali is attentive to her and clearly skilled with her. My dog is intelligent and PARTICULAR about leaving me. Notoriously bad at taking commands from strangers. When Ali arrived for just the second walk, my dog was loving her and ready to head out at the first sight of her. And my dog gets long walks every day the weather allows, so walking alone is not the draw here. Ali communicates beautifully with me as an owner, does great follow-up when she returns from the walk, and clearly loves what she does. No complaints in my house. I don't generally leave my dog care to anyone else, but Ali”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for various pets, including my own two dogs—a Boxer and a Pit Bull. I played a key role in training them, ensuring they were well-behaved and happy. Additionally, I've taken care of pets for my parents' friends and looked after a friend's dog during her late-night clinicals in college. My diverse experience and dedication to each pet's well-being set me apart, ensuring your furry friend receives top-notch care and attention. As a full-time college student with a flexible schedule, I can easily fit pet care into my daily or weekly routine. I'm available to work whenever needed or requested, ensuring your pets get the attention they deserve. I genuinely love working with dogs and have a natural ability to connect with them. My calm and patient demeanor helps me handle pets effectively, even when they don’t listen right away. With my own dogs, we’ve successfully trained them while maintaining patience and understanding. When caring for other dogs, I follow the owner's instructions carefully and handle any issues with a caring and attentive approach, ensuring your pets feel safe and loved. I understand as a dog owner myself that pets are also a member of the family and they need about the same care and attention as a human.

About: I have been caring for all kinds of animals since I was 11 years old! I can do anything from giving your animal medicine or just take them on a walk! I love animals more than anything. I currently work part time four days a week for a few hours, so I have plenty of time to care for your furry baby! I can crate your dog or leave them out roaming. I can take them out on a leash or let them run free! Whatever you need.

About: Ever since I was a little girl I have always loved being around dogs. I have grown up around many dogs my family owned and learned how to properly take care of a dog from a young age. My high school job was working at a doggy daycare facility and thats when I blossomed. It was a job I was excited to attendant and fell in love with many of the dogs there. I am very patient with dogs and will give them all of the attention they need. I would be a great fit for your dog because I will love the dog just as much as you do! At the moment I only work 3 days a week. This benefit's me because the other 4 days off I am free and more than happy to take care of your dog. I have flexible scheduling on my days off and can even set up a weekly schedule if needed. I live in a very loving home. It will just be me taking care of your dog so you wouldn’t have to worry about any strangers being around. I have a very big yard to be able to play fetch with your dog and a very nice neighborhood to take your dog on walks. I am more than willing to travel to your own home to take care of your dog as well and any needs that come along with it.

About: I understand that hiring a pet sitter is a matter of trust. That's why I offer more than just a service—I offer peace of mind. As a longtime pet owner, I've navigated every pet-related situation imaginable, and my experience gives me a calm and capable approach to handling unexpected issues. When you leave your pets with me, you can relax, knowing their well-being is my top priority and that I will care for them with the same love, respect, and meticulous attention to detail I provide my own pets. My flexible schedule allows me to be highly adaptable to your needs. If your work hours change, you need a last-minute sitter, or your pet requires special timing for meals and walks, I can accommodate it. I am able to provide reliable and consistent care during all hours of the day, ensuring your pet's routine is never disrupted. My personal pets are my family, and I provide them with nothing but the best. You can rest assured that your pet will be treated with the same boundless love and attention that I give to my own "fur babies."

About: I've always had pets growing up. I currently have 2 dogs of my own, one female and one male. The female is 40 lbs and the male is 10lbs. I currently work a full time job so I'm only available on nights and boarding on weekends. But I'm usually always home when I'm not working. I have outdoor tie ups so your dogs can still get exercise. I will be fencing in part of the yard eventually. The 2 dogs I have are high energy and will play with any animal. I do have crates if they need to be crated.

About: I had dog when I was only 5 years old and always been taking care of dogs since I was growing up and now have my own baby, Porky and recently added new puppy Scooby added to my family :) everyone always relies on me to watch their dogs and caring fir them while they are gone. I really love animals and dogs big time. I always let them outside whenever they feel like it and play roam around in backyard with fence :) I would go on dog walking and they give me excuses to work out too lol. They are my world. I would treat ur dogs as if they were my own. I am working a full time job but very flexible with hours. I can do after work for dog walking and even babysitting them too. My finance also lives with me he will definitely help me out of need to when I m at work. Can always talk about needs and when etc. I do have a big backyard with fenced around. I have two dogs they will love to play with others. I would like to introduce them to your first before start let them play. I can always separate them if need to so they can take turns. I can give them bath, feed, take them out for walk, and even stay overnight if need. I would let you bring ur own dog foods for ur pets so that way it Is separate. I will always give them treats if being good. All you have to do is let me know what not to do or to do for them so I can be prepared.

About: I’ve always had dogs growing up & always helped with walking them, feeding them, giving them all the extra snuggles, etc. I have watched my friends pets when they are away many times & I would love to watch your furry friends & help out with whatever is needed! I am currently working part time at a dance studio Monday & Tuesday nights in Colfax at 4:45-7/8pm so that would be the only thing to work around. I would let the dog(s) as much exercise or playtime as needed or wanted. I also have a 3 year old dog who would love a play date if your pet(s) were in my home.
