I am able to recognize that each dog is different, just like us, and I’m willing to give them the specific care they need! I’m currently at university as a college student, but finding the time to care for your pets is important to me! Having a routine is something I love so I’m happy to fit your pups into mine!

About: My wife and I both grew up in homes where pets were part of the family, and we continue that love for pets with our dog as our family grows. We know that sometimes it takes a village, and we’re excited to be a trusted part of your village and your pet’s village! I'm flexible! Walks, play time, or check-ins throughout the week and over the weekends fit into the schedule easily. We can work with what works for you. Our dog, Sunny, is well-loved at home, and we have a fenced in yard in a very pet-friendly and walk-friendly neighborhood. I've been described as a, "Human golden retriever," by friends and family for years, so whatever activities your pet enjoys, there's a great chance I enjoy them too.

14. Linnea W.
About: I started caring for animals when I rescued my dog bean! She has taught me a LOT! Thanks to her I know how to manage dogs who are reactive. I'm also pretty good at keeping my footing if your 60lb pup decides to pull. All dogs deserve love is my motto. I also have experience caring for exotics! I've rehabilitated a bearded dragon and Russian tortoise in the past. I own tarantulas so I'm not afraid of any creepy crawlies either. Most of my availability will be on weekends but my schedule changes all the time so just ask! I'm normally pretty flexible so I'll try to fit you in, even if you ask same day. I can't bring your pet to my home unless it is a small caged pet but I'm happy to visit your home. I'm willing to do overnight stays or just pop in to give your pet a potty break and a walk. I'll always respect your home as if it was my own and your pets wellbeing will always be my highest priority.
