About: Availability set for weekends, have some availability on weekdays must be by request. My name is Sydney, I have offered pet care for nearly 10 years. I have experience with aggressive, fearful, and special pups. No dog is too difficult for me! I am a student in school, otherwise this is my full time job! I also do nail trims for dogs who struggle at the vet or groomer! Correct equipment to walk a dog is very important. If your dog is easy on leash I will use an easy walk harness. If your dog struggles to behave or is unsure of themself on leash I use a prong collar in addition. Prong collars are SAFE and not scary or painful for your dog!

About: I know how hard it is to walk out your door with those big eyes staring at you, and how it's even harder when you have to leave them for days. I am flattered you are considering trusting me with your sweet pup while you are away, it means a lot! I have had dogs ever since I was a kid and know these feelings all too well, so let me help out a little and give you some peace of mind that your pup will be well taken care of and exercised. I love taking care of anything that barks, meows, squawks, slithers any anything in between. As my own pets I have had dogs, a rabbit, chickens and a chameleon. I started off by fostering for a local adoption program and moved on to pet care in my own home and others. I have taken care of 12 week old puppies up to older pups needing special geriatric care. My dogs are family members in my house and I will treat yours no differently. I will be sure to get details from you if there are any behaviors you are working on with your pet to ensure I don't interfere and hopefully enhance any training you are working on with your pet. I truly take pleasure helping pet owner who care enough to seek out good care for their pets. *For the comfort of my older dog Roscoe and some of our more timid guests, I generally stick to dogs under 30 pounds unless they are older or particularly calm. He had a bad experience with a German Shepherd off leash on an walk and is a little nervous around bigger dogs now. I am home all day and I'm not glued to my computer but I do have an occasional virtual meeting that requires my attention. If your pup has accidents or gets into other trouble when unsupervised please let me know ahead of time so I can make sure they are in a comfortable safe space or supervised if I have a meeting. Your pup will never be alone for it any extended period of time, and between me and my husband it's likely they will ever be alone at all. We have lots of baby gates and room for them to have their own space if they need a break from my dogs. I have an older chihuahua mix and a young Aussiedoodle, both socialized and respectful of other pups (the doodle is a bit excited when meeting new people and fur friends, but she adjusts quickly.) They will be excited to meet new friends but if your pup prefers to be left alone, they will not bother them after the initial excitement wears off. We have a fully fenced secure yard not exposed to the front or foot traffic at all. We are very careful to follow all order from owners especially when it comes to behavior and diet to ensure that your pup is safe and comfortable while they are staying with us. We are so excited to meet you and your fur friend! I work from home and have a fairly flexible schedule with a few meetings scheduled here in there. With two of my own we are on a pretty regular walking schedule and they definitely keep me informed of when dinner time is getting close when the weather warms up we definitely spend a lot of time outside in the fenced in yard but they are never left unsupervised outside. We have a fully fenced in yard and a nice covered deck, where they can enjoy some shade in the summer. We also have plenty of baby gates to give any pup that would like a little extra space some space to relax. Our little girl is happy to play with anybody that will play with her, but is also very used to her big brother who will certainly let her know when he’s not feeling playful.

About: I’ve had dogs basically my whole life and have always cared for friends’ and family’s dogs as well. I have a love for all animals of all shapes and sizes! I would love a career working with animals in the future, and I would love all the experience I can get! I am available early mornings and afternoons, but I’m always willing to accommodate with others’ schedules! I am always willing to care for pets in the comfort of their own home! I find it great to maintain their schedule as much as possible. I’m always calm and patient with all pets!

About: I'm an RN currently pursuing my NP degree online, and I'm looking to spend more time outdoors, get some fresh air, and make a little extra money doing something I genuinely love — spending time with dogs! Throughout the years, my family has had several different breeds, so I've had experience caring for all kinds of personalities and sizes, including Beagles, Shih Tzus, Goldendoodles, Labs, Australian Cattle Dogs/Shepherds, and even a big, lovable St. Bernard! I currently have two girls of my own who are absolutely my babies, so I understand how important it is to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I'm happy to provide plenty of exercise, playtime, attention, and stimulation while treating your fur babies like my own! I am constantly taking care of my own dogs, so I understand how important it is to provide genuine and thoughtful care. As I'm currently pursing school online, I have a wide range of availability throughout the day as I also work per diem. I always try to make pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved, whether I'm caring for them in their own home or taking them out for walks and activities. I follow each owner's instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walking routines, medications if needed, and any specific preferences or needs their pets may have. I understand that every dog has their own personality, so I take the time to get to know them and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection. I use a leash system to allow my dogs to pee/poop as needed in our yard. As for walks, I use chest harnesses to ensure safety. At a specific time in the morning and evening, they are fed and kept separated until both are finished with their meals.

About: I have been grooming, boarding and walking dogs professionally for 11 years. The best part of working with dogs is playtime and they will definitely get that here. I have three dogs that love to make new friends! Your pup will be provided with a safe and fun environment while you are away. Available seven days a week. I am a professional dog groomer and work from home. There is a six foot fenced in area for playtime or for just relaxing in the fresh air. I have dogs of my own that love to make new friends and play. If your dog requires quiet I also have an area for peacefulness.

About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life since I was 3 years old, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I have hands on experience with large breeds and am confident handling bigger dogs with different energy levels. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and understand the importance of patience, comfort as they age. I put a lot of love and care into every pet I watch. I know how important it is to trust someone with your fur baby, so I treat every dog as if they were my own. Making sure they feel safe, loved, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I currently work full time but have a flexible schedule where I work from home somedays. My partner also works 5 minutes from our house and is able to help with potty breaks during the day. We spend a lot of time in our yard or walking the canal on nice days and would love a wagging tail to join us. We have a fenced in yard and live in a quiet neighborhood to go on walks. We love to go to the canal and spend time outside. We have a fully finished basement with mini splits and air circulation system, perfect for any size dog to enjoy!

About: I used to work for a doggy daycare for three years and worked with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I am CPR-certified for cats and dogs and I have basic animal first aid knowledge. I have had both cats and dogs most of my life. I am a full-time student, however, I do not have classes every day and am also available on the weekends. I would be more than willing to check in on your pets at whatever interval you are comfortable with. I am a responsible and respectful person who will follow your instructions and wishes regarding your pets. I have had pets with specific requirements and understand having specific instructions for your pets.

About: I have been caring for dogs my entire adult life. I have become the go to for dog sitting among all my friends and family, and even my work place! I have watched dogs from puppy to senior. I have experience administering medication, ensuring correct schedules with feedings, and am an expert at making sure the pet is getting all the exercise and attention they need! I also have worked with a shelter walking, caring for, and even taking for visits dogs of many breeds and ages. At this time I cannot accept bookings for female dogs over 30lbs. I currently work entirely remote with flexibility for walks and drop ins as needed anytime during the day! Scheduling and time away from pet can be discussed for a pet by pet basis. Any further questions and additional details can be provided! I have a very large but fenced in yard. I have two cats who are immune to dogs and generally pretend they aren’t there when we have dog sat in the past. I also have two dogs of my own! Unfortunately at this timeI cannot accept bookings for female dogs over 30lbs, as one of my boys has a temperament against them. Male dogs of any size and smaller female dogs he adores! I am a combination of active and homebody so your pet will simultaneously get unlimited cuddles and all the exercise in my care!

“I've had a run of poor health for the last year leaving ankles and feet painful. Maggie left with a very depressed dog and returned with a smiling happy bundle of energy. My little girl doesn't understand Maggie's name yet but hopefully, that will come. Rhea, who is a five year old Havanese poodle who doesn't understand why walks with myself are so short. Maggie at least got her to stretch her legs and run.”

About: I love to walk, but it's more fun with a dog in tow! I grew up with dogs, but I started boarding, pet-sitting, and walking dogs for friends and coworkers in college and I loved helping owners care for their pets. I have experience caring for senior dogs with medical needs, large breeds with higher exercise needs, and puppies. I have experience walking dogs that are aggressive towards other pets as well. If your pet needs more exercise than your busy schedule allows, I'm your girl! Just reach out and let's get your pup walked! I work as a seasonal biologist and I'm looking to take on some pet care during the off-season. I'm very flexible at the moment and can work around your busy schedule! You can rest assured I will care for your pet like they are my own! I feel passionately about letting dogs enjoy their walks, i.e. letting them sniff! No dragging along here. I am happy to cater to your pet's needs, whether they are dietary or behavioral. Unfortunately, I am unable to accommodate boarding at this time.

“We had such a great experience with Raquel. Our dog came back from the walk happy, tired, and clearly well-exercised. It was obvious they had a fun time together! Raquel was punctual, friendly, and really great with my pup. I appreciated the updates and photos too.”

“Caroline is very dependable. My dog was nervous at first, walking with a stranger, but now she wags her tail when Caroline arrives and enjoys her walks very much.!”

About: Our pets are apart of our family and should be treated as so. I will provide exceptional care for your beloved pet. Through communication we can establish a plan that is specific to your pets needs. I have very open availability so please feel free to reach out! I currently go on multiple walks a day, as well as regular time outside. As I see it, if I'm already doing it what joy would it bring to spend time with an extra special furry friend! I ensure all of the pets are comfortable and well cared for in my care. I make sure to care for all the pet's needs as they arise.

About: I have a special love for pets of all species! I have a unique ability to care for your pets during early morning hours, mid-day, and late at night. I have a calming presence but love to play and can help your pets use up some of that energy! Reach out for any questions! I work overnight shifts at my primary job, which means I have full, flexible days off on a rotating schedule — often several days in a row. On those days, pet care is a core part of my routine rather than something squeezed in around a 9-to-5, so I can offer relaxed, unrushed visits and walks. I keep my daily bookings limited so every pet gets my full attention, and I always account for my work schedule when accepting bookings, so you can count on me showing up exactly when I say I will. I am great at following directions, even when your pet won’t cooperate right away. I’m patient and will take the time needed to build trust with your pet. As a pet owner myself, I know the signs of unease to look out for and when a situation may be dangerous or life-threatening for your fur-friend.

About: Hello! My name is Sarah, and I am a huge animal lover. I have been working as a nurse for the past 2 years, but I am super connected to animals also! I have experience with all kinds of animals. Predominantly dogs and cats. I have volunteered with both, and I have grown up with these animals as well. I have been working as an RN for the past 2 years. Let’s talk & see how I can help you! :) I take care of my cats daily. I volunteer with cats on Fridays 4-5 pm. I also have a gecko that I care for also. I make sure they are clean, fed, have water, and get daily mental stimulation! I love all animals and will make sure they get what they need.

“A+++ great handler and communication”

About: I have been walking dogs at local shelters on a volunteer basis for several years. I have experience walking a variety of small and large breed dogs. My walks are 40 minutes long. I charge $25 per walk. My prices stay the same no matter what the breed or age. I would like to set up a meet and greet prior to any walks. Building a strong relationship is important. I am a retired veteran. I have plenty of time in retirement to walk dogs. I am available to walk dogs on Tues, Weds, Thurs, Sat and Sun. I do not offer boarding. I am out to serve the dog and the owners alike. I want both to be happy with my services. I am capable of feeding. I can walk multiple times in a day. I can administer meds as needed.
