“Summer was amazing with Laika!! I really appreciated the thorough communication too. I would highly recommend Summer to anyone who needs some help with their animals!!”
About: I worked at a dog daycare during my four years of high school. Everything from daycare to boarding, to house visits for trusted clients. I worked along side two certified trainers and know a lot about dog behavior. I’m also comfortable with all shapes and sizes and ages. I’m very active too so if your dog likes to run I’d be more than happy to do so (I wouldn’t mind sitting around with a lazy dog all day too)! I’m more than happy to answer questions about my experience and I can’t wait to meet your pup! I’m currently a masters student at Augusta University so I have classes during the day Tuesdays and Thursdays but other than that, my schedule is pretty open. House sitting would work well for me since I could watch your furry friends and get some homework done. I feed off the pet’a energy so if they are energetic and playful, I’ll take them outside for a walk/ jog or fetch to wear them out. If they seem laid back or more of a lazier dog, I’ll take them out on a light stroll to potty periodically but then just give them pets and stay by their side most of the time. I also know behavioral cues and when a dog does not want my presence or if they’re welcoming.
“Ashlee was AMAZING when walking my pup!! Her daily updates and pictures made my day while I was gone. She is great at listening to the pup’s cues (like if it’s raining and hate getting wet…)! I will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since about the age of 11, when my neighbors would hire me to watch their dog when they would go away on vacations. As I got older my client list grew through word of mouth recommendations. I’ve worked in both veterinary clinics and animist shelters/rescue as a trained veterinary assistant. I am comfortable with giving medications and other medical issues. I love play time and going for walks! I am currently self employed so my schedule is flexible, however weekends I am away from morning to early-mid afternoon. My weekends open up in November. Weekdays I am able to change my schedule as needed to fit in any of your animal needs. I am not able to care for animals in my own home. I have a let of my own that does not like other pets in the home.
“Good communication and quick to respond! I didn’t have a chance to see her interact with my dog, but it seems like she did everything that was requested and was careful with him.”
About: With years of experience competing in dog shows, I bring a deep understanding of canine behavior to every walk and sitting session. A lifelong animal lover, I’ve been around both cats and dogs since I was seven. Trust me to provide expert care and companionship for your furry friends. I’m currently working part-time. My Sunday and Mondays are always open and the rest of the week I am available after 2pm. I can also be very flexible if given early notice. I will care for your pets as if they’re my own. All instructions given to me will be strictly adhered to. My top priority is making sure your pet stays happy and healthy throughout each service.
About: I’ve grown up around pets my whole life and have had my own dog for the past 4 years. I’ve also helped care for neighbors’ dogs—everything from daily walks to overnight care. I’ve looked after pets for over two weeks at a time with no problem and always make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m a college student home for the summer with lots of free time to spend with your pets! I work part-time on weekends, but I’m mostly available throughout the week and very flexible with scheduling. I always follow any instructions closely, including feeding, walking routes, and routines. I make sure doors are secure, keep a close eye on pets during visits, and give them lots of attention and care so they feel safe and happy while you’re away.
About: I grew up with pugs and treated them like my kids — Bruce, Tobias, and Otto were my world. I’ve cared for senior dogs, playful puppies, and even dogs with special needs. Now living in the U.S. and missing my own pup back in Brazil, I’d love to share all my love and experience with your furry friend. I’ll treat your dog like family — with patience, affection, and lots of belly rubs! I recently moved from Brazil to support my husband’s new job, so I’m currently taking some time off from work. That means I have plenty of time — and love — to give your pup! I’m available in the mornings, afternoons, and early evenings, until the sun sets. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I treat every dog as if they were my own — with love, patience, and attention to their unique needs. Whether I’m caring for them in your home or mine, I always make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and loved. I follow routines closely, respect your rules, and create a calm, cozy environment where pets can truly feel at home.
“I love Maegan! She walks both of my dogs (Brookie and Ellie) Monday through Friday and does so good with them! I have a desk job so I wanted someone to come and exercise them for a solid half hour. Both my dogs return warn out and just lie in my office and nap after their walks. She is very caring towards my pups and is very consider of Brooke who is older and sometimes needs some assistance. I will keep returning to Maegan for all my dog walking needs! :)”
About: I have walked dogs at the animal shelter. I have trained my own dog and cat. I have had many different animals as pets and I love them all. I am available during the week everyday my schedule is flexible. I do have children in school that I would have to work around but still flexible. I'm not boarding in my home. I would follow whatever you need done for your pet. Meds, play, cuddle, feed, walk, whatever is needed to care for them while you are gone.
About: I’ve been around cats and dogs with health problems all my life. I also worked at a cat cafe with all ages and sizes of cats. I’m very comfortable with all kinds of dogs as well. I’d love to care for your fur babies as much as you need! Need someone to stop by and take your pup for a walk? I’ll be there! Need someone to feed your kitty? I’m on my way! I spend my time caring for your animals. They are my number one priority! I am good at giving medications and caring for nervous animals.
“Shawn’s great! Pablo has fallen in love with her (he told me) and looks forward to their walks every week day. Thanks for checking in on my dog-son every afternoon. I really appreciate it!”
About: I’ve been a dog owner & taken care of others dogs for 25 years. Recently retired, missing my dog fix! Brings me so much joy I’m currently retired and have flexible hours! Easy to contact. Happy to go for walks morning, afternoon or evening. I can work well with different schedules. Currently not offering dog boarding, however, I have a fenced in backyard and my own dog leash. I’m happy to make your pup happy with some fun playtime in my yard!
About: Since the age of 5 my family has always had more than one dog. I have experience taking care of different breeds, personalities, and dogs with special needs. Other than taking care of my own dogs, neighbors and family friends have trusted me to walk, feed, play, and bathe their pets. I have experience with large dogs, small dogs, and elderly dogs that require special care. I also have lots of experience caring for cats. I am currently working part-time so I have lots of free time! Currently I only have one dog so I feed him at scheduled times, brush him daily, and I am active so I take him on frequent walks. I have plenty of time to care for your dog and take them on walks alone or with companions. While caring for your pet in your home I will make sure they have lots of outside time, meals on time, and make sure they stay occupied! I also can bathe and brush them. I make sure that their paws are clean before coming in the house and tidy up before I leave.
About: I’ve trained and taken care of my own dogs including becoming a therapy dog team with my current dog, Jonas. I love “reading” dogs and responding to their needs. I dog sit in my home and also offer dog sitting services to guests at my Airbnb on-site. Currently I am using a walker and am awaiting hip replacement surgery. As part of my schedule of care, I do two walks per day and I practice training after each exercise session. I offer lots of variety in activities and it’s a safe place to have fun and play! I have two doggy doors and a fenced in dog yard. I have crates, many play and relaxing areas, and many toys to enjoy. Depending on the mix of dogs, I cater to your way of feeding, needs for training, etc.
About: My family has had 3 cats and 2 dogs my entire life. I often took care of them when my parents were out of town and once I graduated was the main person to walk and play with them. I have also lived with rescue cats in college and often fed and cared for them along with having my own cat at home that I was the main care taker for I work a full time job but it is very flexible so I would be able to do a check in around lunch time if needed and can also leave work a little early as well. My evenings are usually completely free and I’m often free throughout the weekends I will work hard to earn trust from any pet I am caring for before forcing any interactions. I would love to take dogs on walks or just be available to let animals out or play with them as needed
