About: I have 3 dogs of my own and have grown up with dogs. I love all animals and treat them as they are human! Animals give me joy and would love to help you out with a trusted animal lover such as yourself. I currently work full time in the insurance world, but my passion is with animals. I can do morning noon and night and on weekends, multiple visits if needed. Also multiple visits at night if needed as well! My dogs are humans pretty much in my home. They are trained and get their feedings accordingly to each one. I finally have a fenced yards so they can run around but do love their walks and car rides!
“Ariana was the best! Right away she told me that my cats were beautiful, and she seemed genuinely excited to watch them. She sent me updates and pictures every time she went over to my house, and I could tell that my cats were in good hands the whole time! They all came out for her, which does not always happen, so they could tell she was a good one!”
“Loralei did drop in visits 2 x day for 5 days for my 3 pups . Charlie is not particularly fond of people and I was a little nervous about how he’d react but by the end of the second day she had won him over and he followed her outside along with the other 2. She also fed my fish and put bird seed in my feeder every morning. She communicated concerns and reassured me all was well . I recommend her and I will use her again in the future !”
“Chuck was wonderful! It was our first time using a dog walker since we got our puppy. Chuck volunteered to come and meet our dog prior to his first drop-in free of charge which was wonderful for the dog and his parents! :) We will be using him again in the future 100%!”
“Sarah and her husband, Russel have both been wonderful. They both came over to meet my furbabies and get to know their environment. They have been prompt and courteous and made sure to leave notes about the visits and pictures as well. I left a notebook with info about all of my furbabies and Sarah left a note with details outlining their first visit. I am so relieved to have found them and grateful that my furbabies have these new friends to help take care of them!”
“Mary was great! I received an update each day of our vacation on Addison and Rafter. Mary has a true heart for animals so I had no worries my babies were taken care of. Highly recommend!”
About: With over 7 years of hands-on experience and a lifelong love for animals, I bring genuine passion and reliability to every pet I care for. As a dedicated pet parent to two happy, well-loved dogs, I understand the importance of trust, safety, and personalized attention. I treat every pet like family—because that’s exactly what they deserve. As a self-employed bakery owner, I have the flexibility to make my own schedule—meaning I’m available any time of day to give your pets the attention and care they deserve. Whether it’s early morning walks, mid-day check-ins, or evening visits, I can adapt to meet your pet’s needs. I follow your pet’s routine closely, provide loving care, and keep your home tidy—ensuring comfort, safety, happiness, and plenty of tail wags while you’re away.
About: I’ve owned animals all of my life, and currently have 2 dogs of my own, one which I adopted as an older rescue. I spent several years working as a vet assistant, which included walking and taking care of boarded animals. I also have no problem administering medications as needed. I am also a former marine animal caretaker, at the New Orleans aquarium (10 years). I use this app to have my dogs walked if needed, and I’d be happy to do the same for anyone in my area. I work from home 3 days a week, so I could also pet sit in my home for the day! I would love to walk your dogs, take care of your cat, or even dog sit for the day in my home most days of the week (S,M,W,F,S). I’m also available for dog walking and drop-in visits on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. I have a large fenced yard where your baby can run, a kennel inside only if needed, otherwise they will be cool and comfy with me and my fur babies inside. My dogs welcome other dogs, and they would have a great time under my supervision. I would be home the entire time your dog(s) are visiting.
“Taylor was great! She kept us up to date on what our dogs were up to while we were out of town. You can definitely be at ease with your dogs being under her watch. We will for sure have Taylor back to watch our dogs again.”
“Faith did an amazing job of looking over my doggos. She was on time and I got home to happy pups. I would definitely use her services again and you should too.”
About: I have had dogs and helped take care of them since I was 8 years old. My dream is to become a veterinarian one day. I have worked in animal care for over a year at a training facility, where I helped maintain the facility's cleanliness as well as the health and safety of all the dogs in our care. I also assisted with feeding, walks, and administering oral medications when needed. I am currently a substitute teacher, and will be available days when I am off to make sure I give your pets the best possible care and my full undivided attention. I have a fenced-in backyard, and I help play with them and ensure they have everything they need. I also do vet runs when needed.
About: I have had family dogs since I was 6, and I first got one of my own at 18. I currently have a 10-year-old, rescue dog named, Nala. I have a lot of experience with the tummy issues that come with aging dogs. My girl needs medication regularly. I’m going back to school for a master’s degree online, so I will be available during the week and on weekends to care for your animals. I will be available to feed, walk and give your pets affection while you are away. I can send updates and photos regularly so you can see how they are doing.
About: I’ve lived with multiple dogs at a time for my entire life and have been taking care of them since I was around 8. I’ve volunteered at the humane society and also adopted two of my dogs from there! I also volunteered with a local shelter at pet smart when I lived in Utah and ended up adopting one of my dogs from there as well. I frequently walk dogs when they’re in my care because I enjoy the exercise as much as they do! I’ve pet sit for many friends and get asked to do so frequently. Before I go to work I’ll allow plenty of time in the morning for animal care and when I get back I’ll spend time playing with pets and taking them on walks. I don’t let animals stay alone for too long if I can help it and take care of them first thing after work. I will have to provide at your house because I don’t have the ability where I stay. I’ll take the dogs on leashed walks and follow care instructions left by owner.
