About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and genuinely love spending time with them, especially dogs and cats. I have a golden retriever and two cats of my own, so I know how important it is to have someone you truly trust caring for your pets while you’re away! I’m very reliable, patient, attentive and I honestly just enjoy being around them. I love being outside, going on walks, and making pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. I also have a very flexible schedule, so I’m able to give pets plenty of attention and consistency throughout the day. I’m comfortable with dogs of most sizes and energy levels, as well as cats, kittens, and puppies! Whether your pet is super energetic or more shy and relaxed, I’m happy to work with their routine and make sure they feel happy and comfortable while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets! Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in, or just some attention during the day, I’m happy to help! I don’t care for pets in my own home, but I’m very respectful and reliable when it comes to caring for pets in their own space. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely, make sure everything is secure before I leave, and give plenty of attention and care during my visit! I want your pets to feel safe and comfortable while you’re away.

Theresa is truly AMAZING with animals. My dog Molly had love at first sight with Theresa immediately and I can see why. This is the fist time I've ever had a dog sitter/walker so I was a little nervous but as soon as I met Theresa all my fears went away. Theresa is very caring and so knowledgeable about animals and I will highly recommend her. I feel great knowing that my dog has someone I feel confident in and I was continue to always have Theresa come back week after week whenever she's available. Thank you for giving me peace of mind Theresa, making my life so much easier and also Molly a happier pup! ;)

I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pet, and I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and the same care I would want for my own.

I’m home for the summer and have a very flexible schedule, so I’m available throughout the week for walks and drop-ins. I love spending time with animals and will make sure your pets get plenty of attention, care, and affection! 🐾 I will easily follow every step that is given to me with rules and boundaries of what the pet can or can not do. I will not bend rules

Melanie made a great first impression for us! She extended thoughtful details, did a pre-meet / greet, and connected with my pup well! (he’s a hyper boy, and can be fearful/bark w new people). She arrives on time and puts us at ease knowing Blue will be well cared for. Grateful for weekly walks.

About: I try to take parts of Cesar Milan's strategy with dogs specifically. Trying to not reward bad behavior. Making sure a pet can respect my boundaries. I work flexible hours as an independent contractor so I make my own schedule. I am building my pet care business so I am signing up for a drone pilots license for pet recovery. I am also working on upgrading my vehicle to a minivan. I am offering pet sitting in your home until that can change to my home. I am needing different things done to my home before I can bring pets to my house.

About: I have been doing drop in visits and dog walking for 10 years. My housekeeping clients have relied on me to walk their dog while cleaning their home. They have also used me to walk their dog and drop in to feed and potty while away or if work is running late. I am training to be a dog trainer and have skills in this department with basic manners. As of this moment I am looking to make dog walking and animal care my full time job. I am available Sunday, Monday - Friday from as early as 7am until as late as 7pm. Saturday early morning, 7am-9am & early evening 5pm-7pm As your dog walker & drop in visit go to, I will provide love and care for your baby while you are out of the home or super busy on work calls. I treat EVERY animal as if he/she were my own while in my care. Their safety and happiness is of the utmost importance to me.

About: I rescued my own dog from a shelter, and she required a lot of special training and patience. I worked with her on socialization, leash walking, and reducing pulling and barking around other dogs, and I have successfully helped her improve in all of these areas. Since she was a puppy when I adopted her, I also have experience with the patience, consistency, and care that younger dogs require. In addition, I care for a senior dog, so I am experienced in recognizing when a dog has reached their physical limit during walks and understanding how to adjust care based on their needs. Having experience with both younger and older dogs, as well as both large and small breeds, has taught me how to handle dogs of different sizes, temperaments, and training levels with confidence and care. I am currently in school but there are only three days a week I am completely booked with classes. My Mondays and Fridays and weekends are completely open and would love to spend my free time around more dogs! I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment for pets while they are in my care. Since I live in an apartment, I make sure the space is pet-friendly, secure, and free of anything that could be harmful to animals. I pay close attention to each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, bathroom breaks, exercise, and any special instructions from the owner. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all care instructions closely to help pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment. I prioritize safety during walks, monitor pets closely around other animals, and make sure they receive plenty of attention, patience, and affection. I also provide updates and communication so owners feel reassured while their pets are in my care.

About: I've grown up surrounded by all sorts of animals and as soon as I could drive myself around I knew what I wanted to do. Without using a service I've dog-sat for over five families and have cat-sat for three. I'm very familiar with older animals as well as puppies and am determined to ensure that every animal I see feels loved. I'm currently a senior in high school and a varsity athlete. I, unfortunately, cannot see any animals during the week before 5:30 pm, but am willing to see them very late at night and at any time during the weekend. I have a fenced yard with two labradors and three cats, one indoor two outdoor. Also have several crates and beds. Always willing to take care of another furbaby.
