About: I grew up fostering dogs and cats and grew such a love being around them and caring for them. My goal was to make them feel loved and find them a great home. I’m very flexible with my schedule! I’m mostly part-time right now but willing to work around and find perfect times to make work for you and your pet. I care for your pets safety by following all steps you instruct for me. I will ensure they are safe and not in places that are instructed to keep off limits.
About: I’ve taken care of my sister husky since I was 14 years old. He’s a reactive dog due to multiple attacks towards him. Therefore I know how to handle reactive dogs or how to stay calm in those situations. I also have 2 cats. My first cats ended up pregnant during her first heat and had some complications during labor so she couldn’t feed the baby. Therefore I have experience with kittens I have a hostess job so I usually don’t work more than 4-5 hours. So it’ll be super easy to walk your pets before and after. Prioritizing your pet care involves creating a safe and trusting environment, whether in my home or a client's. This starts with ensuring the physical safety of the pet by removing hazards and providing secure spaces. Building trust is key, achieved through consistent, gentle handling and positive reinforcement. The environment plays a crucial role; maintaining a clean, comfortable, and stimulating space helps pets feel secure and happy. Tailoring these elements to the specific service you offer ensures the well-being and peace of mind for both the pet and their owner.
About: I have always had a passion for dogs, ever since I was 9 my siblings and I have done work for multiple neighbor hoods taking care of their animals and now I do it on my own. I can take care of your dogs needs, give them their medicine or just be there to play with them so they feel comfortable while you are gone:) I have a pretty open schedule this summer, mornings work best for me but anytime of the day is good for me, just let me know what you need:) I have 2 pups of my own and I completely understand all of your concerns and hopes for having somebody take care of your animal! I am always very safe and careful in watching my surroundings and making sure any animal is safe and comfortable.
About: Hi my name is Alexis I am very friendly with all pets, and I absolutely can’t wait to meet your pup no matter the size or breed I’ve experienced from as small as a chihuahua to as big as a Rottweiler. I am very athletic so I will be able to keep up with your high energy pet. I take care of my sisters German shepherd mix a lot and he is very active. I promise to treat your pup as if he/she were part of my family. I am very very excited to meet you and your pet. I hope you consider me to watch over your little family member. I hope to hear from you soon. I am currently working part time 5 minutes away from my house so I will have plenty of time to take care of your pup! There is a small park in my neighborhood and the dog park is also a short walk away so I would take your pup on as many walks as he/she is up for. I don’t have any pets at the moment but I used to have a chihuahua and a Rottweiler I also don’t have a fenced yard or a big backyard that’s why I prefer walking to the park or dog park

Stephanie did an awesome job walking my dog!! She drove him and took him to a trail, and even walked him a little longer then the time I requested. She left great notes, making me feel comfortable with the decisions she made with him on their walk. Thanks again, Stephanie!

Mariia went above and beyond with my dog, Mr, Puk. She not only walked my dog but played fetch with him as well. When Mariia left, my dog tried leaving with her 😂. Mariia was polite and courteous upon our interactions. She will be my go -to dog walker moving forward!
