This was our first time using dog walking services and I couldn't have been happier with Natalie! She was flexible with adjusting to Frankie's needs. We had planned to have an hour walk midday while I was at work but encounter tons of rain which Frankie hates. Natalie was able to take him out for a quick potty break and play with him inside for the remainder of the time. Tons of super cute photos at every session. Really felt like Frankie had a great time and was safe!

Brooke is awesome! She walked my very excitable pup at last minute's notice. I could tell immediately that she loves animals and has had a lot of experience. She seemed to have confidence in herself to be able to manage a new dog without a problem. That made me confident too. And my doggie loved her! :)

About: I truly love dogs. I grew up with dogs, volunteer at dog shelters (and cat rescue organizations) whenever possible, used to own the most dog-like cat I could find because my apartment only allowed cats, etc. I happen to be an excellent cat sitter, babysitter, and house sitter too. I have a small online business and a very flexible schedule. I would love to walk or coo or stay with your dog while you are away! I am comfortable administering meds, giving shots, monitoring special needs, and most other out of the ordinary care. Just let me know! I want you to know that your pet is comfortable and happy while you are away- I love sending photos and updates throughout the day. Take great care, thank you so much for reading! Nicole

About: I’ve had several loving dogs and cats in my life. I would love to help walk and show your pet some love when you are away from home. I work full time, so would need to fit walks in the early morning hours, evening, or weekends. I work in the Army so I typically have federal holidays off as well. I am unable to have pets at my rental property, but will show the upmost respect and care to your home during my visits with your pet.

About: Aside from raising my own 2 fur babies ( 2 kitties now), I’ve helped take care of others’ pets from large Dobermans to small kittens. I also volunteer at a local animal shelter primarily walking and socializing with the big dogs. I lost my senior cat Meemow and senior dog Harley this year (both 15). As my title states, I’m an RN and am very comfortable with giving medications to fur babies (as I do with humans) as well as taking care of any illness issues within reason (wound care/ monitoring / accidents). When it comes to senior care of animals, I understand the need for them to get extra special love and attention, and medication to keep them as happy and healthy as possible. I believe in making pets as comfortable as possible and letting them know that I’m there to help and give love (if they want). When it comes to dog walking, I’m really vigilant about our surroundings and making sure that dogs get a good safe walk. I definitely gravitate towards animals over humans haha. I work part-time out of town, and so I have a lot of time spent at home with my own animals. I want to spend my time I have to help others too (hence also my volunteering at the animal shelter right now to). I prefer to spend time with pets as much as allowed in their home while also following routines previously set for them. Whether it’s playing out in the back yard, or just hanging out together on the couch or floor and relaxing, I like the pet to know that I’m there and not alone. If crating is necessary or part of the dogs routine, I can do that too.

About: I am 31 years old, active duty and live with two children and my poodle Zoe. I have had dogs and cats all throughout my life. I understand the attention they require and also that their personalities will vary as ours do. In addition to my personal experience I have cared for multiple friends pets overnight. I would ensure they are fed, walked and played with. You do not have to fret as I will be actively engaged with you and available to you if you have any questions while they are in my care. I know how most dog/cat owners consider them more like family than anything. I look forward to them being entrusted to my care.m, me getting to know them and all their furry ways. I would ensure prior to going to work your dog got time outside, and then again when I return home from work. I can provide morning or evening walks and plenty of time to run in the back yard. I ensure pets are cared for, and kept safe. I would ensure they had all their needs and love while you were away. Having items put up and keeping an eye on them would be a priority to ensure they were not eating anything that could be harmful.

About: I grew up on a farm and have had all sorts of pets my entire life, but something about dogs just gets to me. Dogs, cats, chickens... you name it, I have at least some experience with it. For my entire life, up until I joined the military, I had dogs and I've cared for all sorts, from golden retrievers to little yorkies. I was always the go-to if family was going out of town and couldn't bring their dog with them. Bathing, walking, playing, feeding, training etc. I have cared for two dogs from pup till end-of-life, so caring for dogs at any age is something I am very familiar with. I currently work as a clinical researcher and my job is pretty flexible throughout the week, but evenings are going to be the most reliable time to catch me. Tuesdays are usually half-days for me while Wednesdays are super flexible as well. On weekends I generally try to escape to the mountains, but I'm open to some dog sitting on those days as well! My current living situation isn't compatible with having any pets, so I will be walking/sitting elsewhere but safety is of utmost importance. I understand that dogs are curious creatures and need to be protected from a variety of things, including primarily themselves! As long as the pup is good to go, safe, and secure I will follow whatever rules of the house you have set.

Gabrielle and I have been working together to learn how to care for my three dogs. I have a German Shepherd who needs time and patience before he'll accept a new person. Gabrielle has walked with us a handful of times now to gain my dog's trust and to learn how to properly handle him. She is very patient, has solid background knowledge in dog training, and is very open to learning what works best for our family. I'm very happy with the amount of time Gabrielle has spent with us and I'm confident that she'll be able to handle our pups when we go on our next vacation.
