5. Emily W.
“Emily has walked my dogs a couple of times, I live within the neighborhood of her. She was actually the one who caught my dog taking a walk by herself and brought her back home to me. I’m gone for longer periods of the day during the weekend due to my small business I own myself. She’s kind and a loving person to humans and animals.”

About: I am an absolute animal lover! I feel like having a pet is like having a best friend! I would love to come and hangout with your dog, help with anything I can ( feeding, walking, overnights ect..) I feel like dogs love attention as much as we do, so I would give them the same gratitude! I get that sometimes life gets in the way and you loose track of time but let me be of assistance by hanging with your dog for a few so you can catch up on nessecities (sleep, paperwork, laundry , nextflix)! I have grown up with many dogs in my family and it has really taught me to just appreciate the little things and the people around you! I currently work 30-40 hours a week. But am free in the evenings during the week after work as well as the weekends. Saturday through Monday! I will care for your pet as if it was my own fur baby! I have a 2 years old aussiedoodle that is active, so walking/ exercising your doggo/animals will be no problem!

15. Fallon M.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. I started to take care of them around the age of 10. Growing up I have two Cane Corsos and one Miniature Schnauzer! I started pet sitting for clients at 16. I’ve taken care of Golden Doodles, Pitbulls, and many more! I’m currently working part time. (about 2-3 days a week) So I have plenty of time to take care of your pets. I am available to pet sit 5 to 6 days a week! I have an unfenced yard but am able to take your fur babies on plenty walks! I have a crate if you need them crated as well.
16. Miranda S.
“Miranda was great stopping in to visit my kitty while I was out of town (not a kitty, she's three, but you know how it is). Great communication and I appreciated not having to worry about my let's well being while I was out.”
17. Gracie G.
About: I’m currently in school for equine/canine massage and sports therapy and have had a background in animal care since I was young. I have worked at boarding kennels, horse stables, and with dogs competing in show and sports. I am knowledgeable about dog and horse anatomy and able to take vitals if necessary and assist with many special health needs! I’m currently working part time Sunday/Monday so have found that my schedule has extra time and would love to watch, walk, or care for pets. I am available Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays (with the exception of a few where I am busy or out of town! I do not have a fenced yard BUT am willing and able to take them on leashed walks around my neighborhood if they are staying at my home. I have a reliable car to transport to vets or other necessary places, and again I can take vitals and provide basic first aid if needed.I live in a 3bedroom house with my mom and 14 year old sister, and all of us are more than willing to spend time playing and hanging out with your pet! As far as feeding schedules and the like, I will follow the instructions you leave with me and make sure that animals are fed on time and correctly.
