“Linsie was AMAZING with our dog, Ellie. Our dog is a rescue and can be nervous at times meeting new people, but Linsie was so calm and kind with her! We even asked short notice and she was able to come through and help us! Thanks again, Linsie!”
About: Every since I was young I would walk dogs for friends and family. Once I finally turned 18 I was able to work for a doggie daycare! Talk about dream come true! Hey pet parents! I’m currently on a pretty laid back schedule! I understand how important their needs are! I promise to always do my best when having your fur child/children under my care ❤️ (I also would like to mention that the rates are high because this app only gives a very small percent of what you pay) I don’t mind long walks, and trips to the park! Snuggles and movies work too 🩵 I can provide any needed service for your fur baby/ babies! (I also would like to mention that the rates are high because this app only gives a very small percent of what you pay)
“Charlie and Cosmo were very happy that someone could come and play with them midday! Rachel was great! Responded quickly even though the request was a little late the night before. She seemed to have no issues dealing with a stubborn pug puppy as well.”
“Lindsay gets a 5 star rating from us! She was great with out two kitties! She took the time to try and get to know them and learn their habits. She was in daily contact with us sending pictures and notes about each visit. We would feel very comfortable hiring her again!”
About: I've taken care of my own and other pets for 10-15 years. I am able to deliver medication and I've taken care of senior dogs many times as well. I'm working part time and have a flexible schedule that allows me to make almost any routine fit! I also stay very active so any animals that are active and need walking is fun for me! I can easily crate animals if needed. In a client's home, I can walk or drive animals to nearby places to allow them to exercise if preferred!
“Heather is a true cat-sitting superstar! She did an amazing job taking care of my furry friends, and I couldn't be happier with her services. Not only was Heather prompt and reliable, but she also made sure my cats were entertained and content during my absence. When I returned home, my kitties were purring with joy, clearly showing they had a blast with Heather. If you're in need of a top-notch cat-sitter, look no further. Heather is the real deal! five stars all the way!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 12. I’ve watched for family, family friends, and neighbours. I’ve always loved animals, and getting to work with them is like a dream! I’ve taken care of dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors. I’m also more than willing to get my hands dirty! Puppies can I have accidents, but it’s not a problem! They like to play in the mud, guess that means bath time! I also have experience giving dogs medication. My own dogs take medication daily and I’ve done it while sitting before! I’m currently working part time but I am in the market for a new job so any days and times work. My personal schedule is very flexible! If you have a fenced in yard your fur babies will be let out every two hours (supervised of course:) )No fenced in yard? No problem. They will still be taken out every two hours on a leash. I am also more than happy to bring your fur babies on walks throughout the day, just as long as the weather is suitable for them! Between playtime and snuggle time your babies will be in great hands!
About: I have had multiple pets throughout my life! I currently have a crazy staffy myself right now!! I have worked at a doggie daycare as well for about 3 years! I currently am working at Mayo Clinic! I always feed and let my pup out in the AM and sometimes on break if I have time I will visit him! After work we go for a walk if the weather is nice! I always let my pup out in the AM and a couples times in the afternoon so your pup would receive the same!! Walks are a must as well!
About: Hi, I’m Chris! I’ve always loved being around dogs and have spent years caring for pups of all kinds — from high-energy adventurers to laid-back couch companions. I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your dog, and I’m here to give them the attention, care, and exercise they need while you’re away. Whether your dog loves a long, brisk walk or prefers a slower, sniff-filled stroll, I’ll adjust to whatever makes them happiest. Their safety, comfort, and happiness always come first with me, and I’ll treat them like they’re my own. Regular walks do more than just burn energy — they help dogs stay healthy, ease anxiety, and keep them mentally sharp. Plus, it gives them a chance to explore, smell new things, and just enjoy being a dog. I’d love to meet you and your pup and be a part of their daily routine! I do a lot of running and trail running so if you have an active dog, we could have a lot of fun. But I also enjoy slow paced walks and just enjoying the environment. As I have had inside/outside dogs most of my life, I will always contain pets into the areas that are available for them but not a caged containment unless needed.
About: I have lived on a homestead in Wisconsin with a variety of different animals for the last 6 years, during which time I have developed a deep love for the bonding that happens between humans and dogs. I have been relied on for a variety of needs from house sitting, dog walking, potty breaks and feeding for my friends and neighbors. The last year and a half I have taken a deeper dive into learning more about 'balanced dog training'. I have learned more intimately the balance of love and respect that comes when boundaries and discipline are maintained with our beloved pets. I am reliable, timely, and easy to talk to. I am here to listen to your needs and the needs of your furry friend. I am currently unemployed and seeking a full-time job. As such, I am very available to handle pet care needs of all kinds. Don't hesitate to reach out and schedule a meet and greet! I currently am unable to host pets in my own home. I am, however, able to sit at a clients home. I will treat your home better than I treat my own. I will ask questions and make sure we are on the same page about standards of care and I will take seriously the need for clear and open communication.
About: I have been taking care of pets my entire life! I have a dog of my own and she even had puppies last year! I raised the puppies myself and ensured they went to good homes! I took the time to make sure they were well trained before they went to their forever homes! I usually close at my other job, so I am usually free during any day until around 3 or 4pm! Again, with notice I can make any care needed work! I again have a dog of my own and can ensure that fur baby will be happy and have the company they need! My personal dog is certainly spoiled and well taken care of!
