Sadie was wonderful. She was prompt and was very patient with Chewie who can be a bit stubborn and can tire easily. I would definitely recommend her.

About: I have always owned dogs. I Have had cats and if I could I’d own a farm. I am just a lover of furry friends. I am a stay-at-home wife and mother of 1 with two furry pals of my own. I have free time while my husband and daughter are working and at school. My two chihuahuas are highly spoiled. They are both crate and house trained and trained to ring the bells to ask to be let out. Their favorite activities include couch cuddles and outside playtime. To me all animals are innocent and equal. I haven’t met a friendly dog/car/goat/sheep/cow/horse that I didn’t love.

About: I will probably remember your dogs name before I remember yours. I love animals and I have 2 German Shepherd Labradoodles who are high energy and extra clingy. I know how to take care of dogs and understand their needs for exercise. Currently I am an educator for High School students looking for summer work. I want to be able to be flexible to still spend time with my puppers and take care of yours. My dogs are crate trained and can be left without destroying things. They are exercised daily as well as keeping them up on their medications and probiptics. My one dog has issues with his hips so we get that checked frequently with the Veterinarians.

Is definitely a life saver, my family got the pup but couldn’t get up so early in the morning to walk him, was willing to do 5 am walk for 2 of my weekly days and 6 for the rest best thing ever!

About: I’ve had animals around me my whole life. I’m always so excited to make a new furry friend! Walks, potty breaks, baths, play time, feedings, and cuddles: I’m happy to do it all :) Young or old, I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! I’m currently a college student doing most of my classes online, meaning I have plenty of time for your furry friends! I am available most weekends and typically all day Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, as well as Tuesdays and Thursdays after 1pm. I always make sure pets feel safe and comfortable in their own home. I will follow your routine closely, keep things tidy, and give plenty of love and attention. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities!

About: All my friends always joked that my house was the zoo. Among fish, hamsters, birds and bunnies we always have had dogs as part of that zoo. I seem to have a natural kinship with animals and seem to be making friends with the dog at the party before the host. But, I can't imagine life any other way. Assisting with rescue transports has also given me experience in handling scared and skittish animals. It is always funny when walking a dog you don't know the owner's name but identify them as "Jack's Mom" I can't wait to care for your dog as my own. I also look forward to helping your pet feel loved and have some extra attention during this chaotic thing we call life. My schedule varies depending on time of year. Taking care of pets is a happy getaway from everyday life. I like to think they bring me more joy but I see how excited they are when I arrive <3 It all depends on the pet's needs and the client's requests too. I communicate my schedule and the pets schedule all the time when needed.

About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life. They have always been a major thing to me. I love being able to be the person people trust with their pets because I know how important people’s pets are to them. I have taken care of every animal under the sun! Dogs and birds are my personal favorite. I have my own dog named Loki! He is a black lab and border collie mix! I work part time and always have time to go home in the middle of my shift during break as well! I always make sure I give my pets and especially others pets the care they deserve I have a really sweet friendly puppy! He is a Labrador and border collie mix. I don’t have a fenced in yard but I have a huge walkway for nice long walks.

About: I grew up on a farm with plenty of different kinds of animals, but the main ones were cats and dogs. I always had at least 5 dogs and 3 cats in the household with my mom. Now I moved out and have 3 dogs and 2 cats of my own whom are very much loved! I’ve also have been a part of K9 Search and Rescue, so I am K9 first aid certified! I work a full-time job. I work week days 8 am-4:30 pm. (Except for federal holidays!) But I have a flexible job that I can work around to meet your and your fur baby's needs! Before and after work I have plenty of time to take care of your furr babies. I rather play with animals than sit at home and do nothing! I always keep a close eye on my animals and always keep them on a leash while out and about and even In our yard. I’m all for kenneling a dog while you are away so it wouldn’t be an issue if that’s a preferred method!

About: I have taken care of so many different types of animals, ranging in all ages. I have no boundaries with pets :)) I love them all so much and will love your baby like they’re my own. I work almost every weekday starting from between 3:30-5:30pm until as late as 8-10pm My availability is open otherwise and I can work around your schedule. I keep my eyes on the pet/s at all times when outdoors, and monitor as necessary in the house. I might as well be a helicopter (pet) mom.

Siyani is absolutely AMAZING! My rescued pup is a reactive dog, and it’s usually very difficult for him to warm up to new people,!especially when it comes to walks or being cared for by someone new. But with Siyani, he felt safe right away!! She has such a calm, kind energy that made Toby comfortable and confident, which is something I honestly didn’t think I would find outside of our family. Finding someone who can handle a rescue pup with patience and love is rare, and Siyani has completely earned my trust. This experience gave me the peace of mind I needed, and now I know I’ve found my go-to sitter for Toby, not only for dog walks but also for when I travel. I couldn’t recommend her enough!!

Cassidy walked my Millie girl almost every weekday while I was at work for 6 months. She’s been fantastic with my crazy girl and we will both miss her very much (we are moving). She’s very thoughtful and kind to my baby even when she can be a bit of a pain on walks. Appreciate her patience and love! Wishing her all the best. 😭❤️

About: Hello! My name is Lisandra and I am excited to be able to have the opportunity to provide love and care to your fur babies. Since my teenage years I have been taking care of dogs as I grew up in a household with a Shih Tzu and Chihuahua. Once I moved on my own I decided to continue that care by becoming a dog mom myself. Over the last 15 years I have been a dog mom to 2 wonderful dogs! At the moment, I have my Boston Terrier lover boy Scooby who is a spoiled happy boy. When you entrust your pets to me, you can rest assured that they’ll be treated as if they were my own. I can provide regular updates on your pet’s while also ensuring they get the love, care, play, exercise, and the cuddles they need! I’m currently working from home, so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your fur babies! I’m available for boarding 7 days a week and can provide doggy day care from 8am-6pm on those 7 days. To provide the upmost care for your pets, I can ensure they have a consistent routine that includes potty breaks every 2 hours, regular exercise with a 15 min daily walk 2 times a day (once in the afternoon and once in the evening), access to fresh water and food, a safe environment, plenty of attention and play time as well as a in home play mate! I also will maintain open communication with you regarding any concerns or changes in your pets behavior.

Molly was super responsive to my messages. She agreed to walk my Millie with little notice, before even meeting. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a caring dog-walker.

Emily and Angel were a great match from the first meet & greet! Emily responded in a timely way, right from the first post, and she also did a great job of asking questions to be sure she had everything all set for her 3 day booking with Angel. I received feedback and pictures every time that Emily walked Angel, and I would definitely recommend Emily as a great dog-walker for a large dog! I would be very happy to book her to walk Angel again.
