About: I've been a devoted dog parent to my own pup for 3 years, who truly means the world to me. Caring for her has taught me how important patience, gentleness, consistency, exercise, and affection are for a happy dog. I’ve also volunteered with rescue shelters and animal sanctuaries, helping care for dogs and supporting animals in need. Through those experiences, I’ve become comfortable with a wide range of personalities and energy levels. Dogs have always had a special place in my life, and I treat every dog like family. Whether we’re out on an adventure or relaxing on the couch, my goal is always to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Flexible for your pup's needs. Hours of outside play time - including a morning walk, an afternoon trip to the park for running and playing, and an evening walk. Easily adjustable to your pup's energy level. My home is a calm and dog-friendly environment with plenty of supervision and playtime. I have a friendly and playful dog to keep your pup company. Dogs always have access to fresh water, comfortable resting spots, and lots of affection. I pay close attention to their behavior and energy levels to make sure they're happy and comfortable.
About: Volunteered at a pet shelter and cared for many different dogs with various needs and personalities. I looked after puppies, senior dogs, and even dogs with behavior issues, working alongside dog trainers who taught me how to read canine body language. Flexible student sitter available for walking and overnight boarding. Whether it’s a weekday trek or a weekend stay, my schedule allows me to prioritize your pup’s needs and exercise. I have a BIG fenced yard and two friendly dogs that can keep you dog company. I also have inside and outside cameras to always be able to check on the dogs.

About: Hi my name is Anna and you can trust that your pet will be treated with the most genuine care as if they were one of my own. I’ve own dogs my whole life and I’ve cared and trained each one of them. I have been able to walk and care for 4 pups at once from small dogs up to 120 pounds so there’s nothing I can’t handle. I will pamper your baby, make sure they are fed, take their potty breaks, take medication if needed, play time and lots of belly rubs and kisses. You will be able to go on about your day worry free that your fur baby is in the greatest hands being spoiled and having the time of their life. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and care throughout the day. I’m available for drop ins, walks, and pet sitting during weekdays and weekends. I understand the importance of keeping pets on their normal routine and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I understand that pets feel most comfortable in their own environment, so I do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible while you’re away. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications if needed, and any special instructions. I’ll treat your home and pets with care and respect, and I’m always happy to provide photo and video updates for peace of mind.

About: I’ve loved and cared for animals since I was a child. My neighborhood has sidewalks walks to keep your pups safe on walks and I can administer oral medications if necessary. I currently homeschool my two children so we’re home most of the day and evenings so adding in a pet is no problem at all. I have a fully fenced back yard and two dogs to keep yours company. I also have an extra large crate if requested to make your dog feel more comfortable.
