“Meredith was prompt and was very considerate. Since this was their first meeting, it was important for them to get to know each other. Meredith was very attentive and asked questions about Koda’s personality. Koda received her well. Looking forward to having Meredith back!”
“Amanda was fantastic! She treated my fur babies like they were her own. She was incredibly accommodating and helpful and professional. I felt completely at ease knowing she would be caring for my pets. She even went above and beyond by allowing me to borrow her doggie stroller for my elderly and blind doggie to use so he wouldn’t feel left out when they went for a walk with my younger dog. I highly recommend her services and I will definitely ask for her services again in the future.”
“She is simply the BEST!! My little furbaby loves her, and she loves him right back. It’s so awesome to know that your beloved pet will get the love and attention that you would give. She’s my absolute FAVORITE.”
“Justin was the best. He was never late and helped me so much. I was injured so couldn’t deal with my trash bag, Justin helped me throw them away as well. Again he’s the pro and the kindest.”
“Andrew is so great with our dog Pepper! Pepper is always very excited to see him and go on walks with him. My husband and I are super grateful to have the extra help as we prepare to welcome our new baby.”
About: I’ve taken great care of pets ever since I was 10 years old. We had pets when I was even younger than that and my love for them has only grown throughout the years. I would love to become a veterinarian to help animals and give them the love and care they deserve! I have had multiple bookings in the past, all of which had great results! These bookings have included overnight boarding and drop in visits and I also offer dog walking! I no longer offer dog boarding due to a recent move, but I still offer dog walking and drop ins. I currently work and am usually off around 10, although I do have to stay longer sometimes if need be. Times after 11 -11:30 usually work great for me and if anything changes for any specific date, i’ll be sure to get in contact right away! Being that I no longer offer dog boarding, drop ins and dog walking allow me to care for your pets in an environment they are comfortable in!
About: I have had dogs my entire life, and my major responsibilities started at about 8 years old. I aided my own senior dog with her health issues as well as my neighbors dog who requires extra medical attention. I am well-versed in dog-breeds and the nature of these animals. I love all dogs and have always been the dog-walker for my neighborhood. I have experience with puppies and am comfortable with large dog breeds. This will most likely be my main job, as I am a university student returning home for the summer. I am super flexible schedule wise and can easily meet any expectations. I have a fenced yard and my own dog who is 10000% dog-friendly. I am used to crate-trained dogs as well as those who may need to be restricted in the house. They will have my full attention no matter the environment to ensure they are well taken care of.
About: I’ve taken care of my own 2 puppies, almost 4 and 2. And helped friends with boarding and grooming. Regularly walk the dogs along the canal. I work from home, with much freedom to come and go. I am open to board, walk, or drop in at any time at the moment. My dogs mostly free roam down stairs. They are trained to go into a crate or play pen when needed. I take them out several times a day and they eat twice a day in the morning and evening.
About: I am a Christian, college educated, mother of two young children and have owned a wide variety of pets. I have always had a fascination and love for animals of all kinds which of course includes dogs. I have loved and cared for animals ever since I was a little girl and I've even taken a few college courses to further my understanding of animal behavior. The animals I have cared for have been cats, dogs, fish, hamsters, rats, rabbits, chickens and small birds. I believe in treating animals with love and respect because they are wonderful creatures that have always added joy and excitement to our lives. When ever I care for animals it has always been my top priority to make sure they are always well taken care of. I have a full-time job but I can take care of pets for a few hours a day after work. I'll be getting off of work at 5:30 p.m. Currently I am looking to do dog walking and I'm not able to do any pet sitting. I Have a lot of experience with walking dogs and I find it to be enjoyable and relaxing.
“My dogs loved walks with Marilyn! Her good vibes made the dogs comfortable and relaxed! She has really good communication and made it easy to coordinate dog walks.”
About: I have raised my own dog since birth, six years ago. She is well trained, well fed, and clean. I have experience with dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, hamsters, and snakes. I have experience with administering vaccines (injections), oral medications, as well as topical medications. I just love getting to know new pets and watching them become best friends with my dog, Luna. I work from home and set my own hours, so I can be available just about any time to care for and play with your pet. I am happy to come to your pet for walks, visits, and/or sitting. I appreciate detailed instructions for how to care for your particular pet, like eating, walking, sleeping schedules. However, if you don’t have a tight schedule that needs to be followed, I am very attentive and recognize the behaviors that signal their needs.
About: I’ve lived with dogs my entire life. I am a dog and cat mama myself. I also have experience with reptiles such as tortoises and geckos and I would love to learn more about your baby and their unique personality and needs. I am able to give oral and topical medications and have experience caring for special needs and senior pets. I have experience caring for both high energy pups as well as pups who would prefer to just snuggle up on the couch and relax and cater my services to best suit the needs of your baby. I love spoiling pets treats but please let me know if there are any allergies/sensitivities or food restrictions. I only take 1 family at a time so I can ensure your pets get undivided attention and love. Right now, my schedule is pretty flexible. I typically go into an office to work Tuesday-Thursday but am home before 5 pm to care for your pets. To me there’s no better way to relax than hang out with your pets. I don’t let dogs go off-leash unless you have a secured fenced yard. Even in a fenced yard, dogs are never left unsupervised. On walks with your pup(s), I don’t let other dogs meet them just to ensure no negative experiences involving other dogs occur.
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats of all ages; 7 months to 15 years old. I take joy in giving your pup or kitty my time and making them feel as comfortable as they can in my home or your home. If that means playing with them all throughout the day, cuddling on the couch, going on walks, or giving more time and attention then I am happy as long as the pets are satisfied. I want the animals that I watch to feel safe and happy, as if their owners were home. I am open to pet sitting in your home if that works better but my preference is to bring them to my home. When staying at a clients house I like to get familiar with the yard and space so I know of any places your pet may hide away or rest. Some times our pets like to nap in places that we would not suspect and I want to make sure I can keep track of your pet at all times while in my care. I am flexible with hours during the week and weekends. At this time, I am available almost all hours. Please contact me 3 days prior so I can meet your loving pet. My yard is fenced in with a gate. I will manage daily potty breaks and walks regardless of the temperatures. Play time as needed will be provided.
About: I love dogs! I have an elder dog and puppy at home so I am able to care for all ages. I am patient with timid dogs. I am eager and excited to help you out in whatever capacity you need. I am a teacher and am currently on summer break. My availability is free for most weekdays. I can assist on weekends if told in advance. I have an elderly dog and a puppy of 8 months. Both dogs are indoor/outdoor dogs. My dogs are potty trained and will alert me when they need to go outside.

Julissa C.
“Julissa has such a love of animals, our whole family has trusted her for all our, and our friends, pets. Being a teacher children, she has a level of patience for all walks of life that I believe translates well to her knowing the needs of pets and understanding of what the owners expect from her. She would be a good fit for a good pet giver”
