“Bob works great with our boy Monty; he helps him get all his energy out playing his favorite game of fetch. Bob is very flexible and quick to respond. We definitely recommend!”
About: I’ve spent the past nine years caring for my poodle, watching her grow from a curious little puppy into my best friend. She is my fur sister. That experience taught me the importance of patience, love, and daily companionship. I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe, happy, and truly cared for while they’re with me. I work part-time, which means I have lots of free time to give your furry friend the love, play, and attention they deserve. I’m available on weekdays from 8 AM to 8 PM. Having cared for my poodle for the past nine years, I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, loved, and part of the family. In my home, pets have a cozy and secure space where they can relax, play, and enjoy daily companionship. I follow their usual feeding, walking, and play routines to keep them comfortable. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and stick closely to their familiar schedule, so they feel just as loved and secure as they do with you.
About: Over the years, I’ve found myself drawn to caring for animals in small but meaningful ways. Whether it’s walking or playing with a family member’s energetic dog or simply offering companionship, I’ve always found fulfillment in their presence.What I may lack in professional dog care experience, I make up for with genuine attentiveness, patience, and affection. I understand how important it is to build trust with pets and their humans, and I’m committed to creating a safe, loving environment for your pets. As someone who’s cared for my aunt’s cats—including administering medication and tuning in to their unique personalities—I bring that same level of thoughtfulness and care to my work with dogs. As someone who works from home full-time, I have a flexible schedule and the freedom to work from just about anywhere—making it easy for me to prioritize your pet’s care. Whether it's a mid-day walk, potty break, or weekend with the owner's out of town, I can be present and attentive to assist you in caring for your pet's needs. Work with my schedule and I can work with your's. When providing services in your home, I will treat your space with the same respect and care I give your pets. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable with someone entering your home, and I take that trust seriously. With a patient, compassionate approach, I aim to create a calm and safe environment where your pet can feel relaxed, happy, and well cared for. As well as ensuring that the guidelines you provide are followed.
“Taylor was perfect for our young pup when we needed help getting him outside during the work day. She was very prompt with communication and sent us photos while we were away of our happy boy. Taylor will go the extra mile for pup and we were so happy with her services. Thanks Taylor!”
“Jennifer was a lifesaver for us in walking our pup while we were out of town. She was very flexible and accommodating and did a great job communicating updates throughout walks. Definitely recommend and will book again!”

About: I have two cats and have taken care of numerous friends’ dogs while on vacations. I routinely feed and clean up after my cats. I genuinely enjoy walking and caring for friends’ dogs. I’m currently working full-time from home. I am picking up shifts at a store in the mall as well. I enjoy filling my life with helpful tasks. I am very attentive to any special needs or unique quirks your pet may have. I want to let your pets personality shine and give them encouragement to live happy lives.
“Amy took care of my dog for 3 weeks when I was out of the country. Amy was always on time, sent me messages with dog's pictures, updates, responded to my messages instantly. Amy made me feel at ease and my dog was happy every day to see her. I would recommend Amy to my friends and everyone else, too. Thank you Amy for all your help!”
About: So far, the longest I’ve taken car of a dog is 10 years. Other than that, I’ve been around many other dogs who seem to like my presence. I currently am part time and my schedule is usually pretty flexible so I can stop in whenever is needed to let the dogs outside or to walk them. I always want to make sure that the animals are comfortable with me so I think a meeting before the job would be beneficial. Any schedule you have would be appreciated and followed to the letter.
About: Since being a little girl I have had many pets. I’ve taken care of parrots, bunnies, dogs, and cats which have given me so many wonderful memories! Taking care of pets and showing them love is the thing I do best! I work from home the majors of the time so I have plenty of time to play and care for your pet. My dad and my teenagers also love playing and caring for our little friends and gives them loves of love! I have a big house and a huge yard for you pups to play around and a small shi tzu to keep your pup company.
About: I’ve owned dogs my whole life. As well as a few different sizes and temperaments as well - from a toy poodle, to two collies, and now a Shetland sheepdog. Starting in elementary school, I have taken care of many of my neighbors pets while they went on vacation or a weekend tournament. I have taken care of puppies all the way to senior dogs that need special care and special attention. I’m currently a junior at Trinity Christian College, where I play on the volleyball team and serve as a Resident Assistant on campus. Even with a busy schedule, I make it a priority to plan ahead and stay organized, which means I always know when I’m available to care for your pets. I understand how important it is to make sure your fur babies feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. As a dog owner myself, I know how much peace of mind it brings to have someone dependable looking after them—and I’m committed to giving your pets the same level of attention and care I’d want for my own. I’m happy to work with you to find times that fit both our schedules and make sure your pet gets the love and time they deserve! Many dogs find it comfortable to stay in their own home. With owning many different dogs I know how to keep boundaries with dogs (if they like being touched, etc.) I have taken care of dogs who need medication, changed diapers, and food stirred a certain way😂. I will do my very best to make your dog as comfortable as possible.

Her genuine love for animals is evident in the way she interacts with him, always providing him with the attention, care, and exercise he needs. I feel completely at ease whenever Bowbow is in her care, knowing he's not just being watched, but is being loved and treated as one of her own. Her reliability, responsible nature, and excellent communication make her an exceptional choice, and I wholeheartedly trust her to care for any pet.”
