About: Having grown up with dogs my whole life, I have gained extensive hands-on experience and know exactly how to take good care of them. I love animals and enjoy taking them on long walks, playing with them, and ensuring they’re happy and healthy. I currently work part-time at Brekky’s coffee shop, where we always close in the afternoons. So, after 3:00 PM, I am always available to walk dogs. My schedule varies weekly — sometimes I work early mornings and can’t walk dogs beforehand, while other times I start later and have more free time. Because my schedule changes frequently, daily communication would work best for me. I’m very flexible and responsive when it comes to updating and managing those changes I have a fenced yard — it’s small but secure, perfect for dogs to play in. I live right behind Morningside University, which gives me access to many great places to walk dogs. I share a house with my boyfriend and roommates; we have separate rooms in the basement, providing plenty of space for dogs to stay overnight comfortably..
About: Growing up on a farm, I have taken care of various animals. I am a huge animal lover, and have my own dog and 2 cats. I have a very flexible schedule for the next few months and through the summer. I am available nearly all times of the day and can cater to special requests. I am flexible with care, depending on the client and animal's needs. I will be home with the animals or can spend extra time with any animals you may have.
“Karina was AMAZING!!! She’s a lovely young woman and took excellent care of our cat. She initiated sending many updates and photos. I highly recommend Karina and will definitely request her in the future!!!”
About: I treat all animals as if they’re my own and have a undeniable love for dogs as I am a proud fur mom to my dog vander. I work early in the day and have lots of spare time in the evening to help out with walking and checking in on animals I care for animals in my home by making them feel as if it’s a second home for them. I play catch with tennis balls in my backyard and cuddle on the couch and watch movies
“Brianna was so great with our girl! Raina tends to be timid at first but Brianna gave her time to warm up and was great about updating us on how Raina was doing with lots of pictures. We will definitely be using Brianna again in the future!”
“Our dog had a great very with Jennifer. She was very warm to both our pup and us, and assured us that he would be well taken care of. We met her pets (1 dog, 2 cats) before we booked and felt comfortable that our boy was in good hands. Jen was great about communicating every day we were gone. Our dog clearly had a good time and came back to us healthy and happy.”
