About: I’ve lived with dogs and cats my entire life. Since I was 12, it’s been my responsibility to take care of our English Setter. This began with me helping to train him. My role was to reinforce the lessons taught at the PetSmart classes. I’ve regularly walked, bathed, and taken to the vet our dog as well. I love animals of all kinds and care a lot about giving them the loving attention they deserve. I currently work part time 6 days a week, with Sundays off. I work from home, and regularly have mornings and early afternoons completely available. I have more than enough time for several appointments just about every day of the week. At the moment I do not own any pets, as my landlord does not allow it. I am unable to provide any services that would require my home. But I’ve lived with and cared for both dogs and cats my entire life, with great regularly since I was 12. I know what I’m doing when it comes to our furry companions. I’d love to provide walks, visits, and any other services I can.

Pogo loved Jennifer. She is so kind and caring and dependable. Pogo is full of life and can be a handful at the door, excited to see Jennifer, and she was able to handle settling him down and getting his harness and leash on easily. He looked forward to her coming to walk him twice a day. I would highly recommend Jennifer to anyone needing someone to assist with dog walking.

Have had such a wonderful experience with Lucy. She was willing to do a meet ahead of time. She won over my very reluctant dog, and he has such a good time and come back happy. Lucy was very timely and a joy to work with. Highly recommend.

About: I have had pets ever since I was 3 years old, I am now 20 and have lots of experience with taking care of them. I have also trained my dogs with the basics like, potty training, any tricks, simple house training etc. I am very experienced to take wonderful care of your fur babies and their needs. With my own pets I take care of them morning to night. I am home most of the time so I do spend time with them a lot but when I do leave my house I make sure they went outside before leaving and have plenty of water and food while I am gone. I always walk the dogs, follow any instructions that's given to me for the dogs care, eating habits, wash days, times to go out, and everyday I play with my own dogs keeping them active running around the yard and having plenty of toys. I also tidy up the house, sometimes with our fur babies the house can be a mess with toys all over and them shedding all the time so I can to provide that for you.

About: This Kat loves animals 🐾 I truly love seeing animals happy—whether they’re running, playing, or simply feeling safe and relaxed. My goal is to create a calm, stress-free environment where your pet feels comfortable, cared for, and genuinely loved. I have hands-on experience working in both a veterinary office and a doggie daycare, which has given me a strong understanding of animal behavior, safety, and attentive care. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or an overnight stay, I’ll make sure your pet gets the attention, exercise, and comfort they need. If your pet stays with me, I focus on helping them feel secure and at ease—like they’re right at home. I treat every animal as if they were my own, with patience, kindness, and lots of love. I’m also vegan and deeply value compassion for all animals, which naturally carries into how I care for the pets I work with. Their well-being, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy because of the connection and joy animals bring. I know how important your pet is to you, and I take that trust seriously. I am working part time and would love to fit some pet care into my schedule. My job is very flexible and I have at least 20 hours to devote to pet care if not more I have a fenced yard and a small terrier mix that loves company or a possible playmate. I am excited to provide a safe haven for your furry friend

About: Hello, My name is Madelyn. I love all animals, especially dogs. I'm great with young pups, senior dogs and those in between. I can take your dog(s) for long walks, feed them and upon giving proper instructions I can help give necessary medications. Dogs are social animals and need attention so I make sure to spend quality time with them. In addition, I can assist in basic bathing and grooming services. Currently I'm a full-time student and am mostly taking online courses. This allows for me to have a very flexible schedule. You can count on me to be punctual and reliable. If you have any further questions or concerns about myself, scheduling or services that I provide, please feel free to contact me. Thanks! My schedule is flexible allowing me to visit your pet at least twice a day throughout the week. If something changes at the last minute, just message me. I am able to put your dog in a crate, feed them at scheduled times, groom them, and provide them a calm and relaxing environment.

About: I know how hard it is to leave your pets behind, which is why I focus on providing the same love and attention they get from you. I will ensure your pet feels safe, snug, and completely pampered while you’re away. I work from home, so I can give lots of attention to your pet. Your pup will go on plenty of walks and have tons of play time. And I'm happy to send daily photo updates! I have a fenced yard and a friendly dog of my own to keep yours company. I also have a doggie door, so your pup can go in and out as they please.

Satara is amazing! She did everything I needed her to do around her schedule! There is a review from a past client of hers that was honestly so rude and disrespectful to her and I can already tell she is Karen by how she types lol! She has so many good reviews and actually shows that she cares about her customers regardless of this bad experience from this customer. Would 10/10 recommend this girl! She is amazing!
