About: I’ve had cats, dogs, Guinea pigs plus litters, rats plus litters, rabbits plus litters, bearded dragons, birds, mice, hamsters and I would love to watch any animals you have small to big, caged or not caged. From the age of 5 I have had dogs and I’ve always walked and taken care of other dogs in my building from taking them on walks to watching them for a week while the owner was away. I currently have 8 pets I care for daily and plus a toddler so I’m pretty experienced and honestly 8 just isn’t enough for me I have a dog and a cat to keep either species entertained and happy, I can offer as many walks a day as needed plus even trick training if needed.

15. Lexi C.
About: I’ve owned dogs as well as various other small animals since I was very young, and I have experience caring for the pets of family friends. Besides my experience with pets, I also have an extensive background in leadership roles which have taught me to be dedicated, responsible, and communicative. These skills combined with my love for animals makes me the perfect candidate to be your pet’s professional best friend! I’m available every day from 9:00am-8:00pm for drop-ins and walkings. I may be available earlier or later on weekdays and possibly on weekends depending on my schedule. I’m able to feed/water your pet, let them out into a fenced backyard, play with them inside or outside the house, provide minimal grooming, administer medications, and take them on a walk. I also may be able to stop by multiple times a day depending on the time.
16. Nellie F.
“When I met Nellie in September of 1989, she was a crazy cat lady, living off cereal, so her animals ate well and shots & what nots were all up to date. Nellie has been an animal advocate for as long as I have known her. I have seen her teach people how to be better pet parents or aid in rehoming the dogs that needed one! Her personality is upbeat and she makes friends everywhereshe goes. I trust that she would care for your pet as one of the family.”

Her kindness and attention to detail ensure that every pet in her care feels loved, safe, and well-exercised. Teresa is not only dependable but also goes above and beyond to make sure pets are happy and comfortable. Whether it’s taking them on long walks, playing their favorite games, or simply giving them extra cuddles, she treats every dog as if they were her own.
