Magan was a big help with Lucy. Lucy can be stubborn about walking with anyone but her Mom and Dad, but Magan was able to coax her and complete her afternoon walks. We had never used Rover before but this was a positive experience and if needed, would use Magan again.

Joslyn is such a gem! We are so grateful to have found her to walk our dog. She is always professional, very communicative, and, most of all, she takes care of our doggo and loves on her like she is her own. Joslyn is flexible and adjusts to our dog’s unique needs and preferences. She knows how to read our dog’s body language to know what she needs and when. I highly recommend Joslyn!

About: I’ve had lifelong experience caring for pets of my own and have spent the past 6 years pet sitting for others. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly treat every pet in my care like family. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels, as well as cats and other small pets. From playful puppies to senior pets who need a gentler pace, I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s unique routine and needs. I’m confident with: • Feeding schedules and special diets • Daily walks and exercise • Basic medication administration • Maintaining routines and house rules • Sending regular photo and video updates My goal is always to provide loving, reliable care so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. I build my schedule around the pets I’m caring for to ensure they receive consistent attention, exercise, and companionship. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening feedings, I prioritize maintaining each pet’s normal routine. I make time every day for walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and lots of affection. I’m very mindful about not overbooking so that each pet gets the focused care and attention they deserve. Because animals have always been a big part of my life, caring for them doesn’t feel like an extra task — it’s something I genuinely enjoy and plan my week around. When caring for pets in their own home, my top priority is keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special preferences to ensure consistency and comfort. I provide: • Fresh food and water at each visit • Clean litter boxes or yard clean-up as needed • Walks and exercise based on your pet’s energy level • Playtime, enrichment, and companionship • Plenty of affection (if they enjoy it!) • Detailed updates with photos after each visit I also treat every client’s home with the utmost respect — keeping things tidy, secure, and exactly as you left them. My goal is for you to return to a happy pet and a well-cared-for home.

About: I have been working with animals for over 10 years now. I love every minute of it. I wanted to start dog walking, training and pet sitting because of the love I've had with animals since I was young. I have a certificate for dog training from the FernDog Trainer Academy. To help animals that are less fortunate, I decided to volunteer with rescues and shelters. I have 5 furry babies of my own. Zaria, Saphira and Tilly are the cats. The two dogs are named Nya and Cami. I've worked in a holistic pet store where I became a manager and very educated on pet nutrition. I am very grateful for that job because it has given me the opportunity to enhance my pets lives. I was able to see how feeding higher quality food made a difference in my pets lives. I've also worked with two boarding and day care facilities, one of which I was also a manager. I occasionally went to there clients houses and walked their dogs. I know how to administer medication including shots. I have attended the Red Cross Pet First Aid course.  I have experience with all different types of personalities and sizes of dogs ranging from Great Danes to Chihuahuas. I'm excited that I can finally use my skills to help the things I love most…animals. I understand how hard it is to find quality care, and ensure your trust in others with your loved ones. I am also individually insured and bonded through Pet Sitters Associates. I know you will be completely satisfied. I hope to meet you and your furry loved ones! I'm currently working full-time as a pet sitter and dog walker. I will have plenty of time to give all the love and care to your pets. When your pets are in my care, I always take every precaution to be sure they are safe and happy. For your peace of mind, I am fully licensed, bonded, and insured.

About: I enjoy caring for dogs and other animals. I have a service dog in my home. I am happy to interact with and see dogs play and have fun or just lounge around. Dogs bring such comfort to people of all sorts. My small farm has helped me in being proactive with animal wellness. Dogs deserve and need to be trained and loved. I am a registered nurse and value life of all kinds. Your dog will be of interest to me and he or she will most likely be curious about the farm environment. I will treat your dog as I would expect mine to be treated. It is rewarding to provide a service for pets and pet parents. Dogs are a person's best friend ! I work as a home visit IV registered nurse. Animals bring joy and happiness. Animals help calm us and relax our cardiovascular system and lowers blood pressure. Not currently caring for pets in my home. I have 3 German shepherd and one chihuahua mix of my own. I have a great Pyrenees too.

About: I have always loved dogs! I used to get so mad at my parents as a kid for making our dog stay outside alone. I used to sit outside with her to make sure she always felt loved. When I turned 20 I adopted my first dog, Lily a Great Dane, and then at 23 my husband and I adopted our little chipper! We’ve had a turtle and lots of fish in between then and now! I always loved going on adventures with them: lots of road trips, hikes, runs and trips to the beach (when we lived there). Lily is no longer with us but was the best dog to adventure with. Our 13 year old chipper is starting to slow down and his arthritis is causing him to be unable to walk as far as we used to. He’s been on all the hikes around here, we would go to watering holes and beaches. With smallish kids and busy schedules we are not planning on adopting another dog anytime soon. I miss having a buddy to go on hikes in the woods with so if you want your pup to have an adventure I am here to help! I’m a full time mom but I don’t pick up my youngest from school until 11:30 am. I will have 3 hours everyday free M-Fr. I would love to take your best friend out into the woods to offer him more enrichment than he could get just in a neighborhood! I would be willing to buy a harness for a dog to be kept in the back seat while traveling- if that would make you comfortable! I’ve got window locks on my back door windows to make sure they don’t jump out. I am not willing to take a dog if the lead during hikes even if they have a great recall- too much can happen in the woods! I’m pretty confident on the hikes that I take and I only go places that I am familiar with the terrain.

About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets, and I truly love every moment of it. I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes and ages, including seniors and energetic puppies. I always focus on keeping pets happy, safe, and comfortable, whether it's for daily walks, playtime, or overnight stays. You can count on me to treat your pet like my own! As a college student, my schedule is flexible between classes. I can do late mornings, midday check-ins, and early evenings, with open weekends for extended care or overnights. Your pet's routine comes first. I care for pets in their own homes so they can stay in a familiar and comfortable environment. I always follow your instructions carefully and keep your pet's routine consistent. Whether it's walks, playtime, or feeding, I make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you're away.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and love taking care of them. Started to learn to train puppies about a year ago I’m still in the process of learning more. I currently have no job so I have an open availability. Dogs are not allowed at the house I stay at due to multiple animals already living there. I care for animals the best I know how unless given special instructions by the pet owner then I will go by those instructions given.

I currently live with three sweetie pie pups, a 9 and 6 year old golden retrievers, Deal and Bear and a 7 year old mixed rescue named Carly.

I will keep a watchful eye out for your animals and send frequent photos and updates to you while your babies are under my care.
