About: I am a ABC Certified Dog trainer which means your pup can get all of it's needs met in one go! While walking and caring for your pet, I can apply the skills I've accumulated to help you and your dog reach any obedience goals you may have. I am also a certified cat trainer as well (it was a new concept to me too.) Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I have always been the fist one friends and family called when they found a stray, had a question, or needed a puppy-sitter. In college worked at May Wildlife Rehabilitation Center, in which I got to care from everything from turtles, to squirrels, to hawks. When getting certified in obedience training I helped a grumpy one eyed cat realize that cuddles were a lot better than bites! All it took was some time and a lot of focused effort. I look forward to giving your paw-some friend the time, attention, and care they deserve! I am currently a full time Homemaker so I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pets. My husband is in the military and I have two dogs of my own but I have time to come make sure yours are taken care of too. If avaliable, I will let your dog run around your fenced yard. If not, I don't mind taking them on walks around the block or to a nearby dog park.

“I cannot say enough about Haley! I was weary having a stranger come to my home to walk my dog. She made me feel at ease at our initial meeting and my dog loved her. She was very patient with her-puppy stage, leash pulling, and jumping. She gave tips on some behaviors and it was helpful. I will continue to use Haley's services!”

About: Growing up, I had 7 dogs in the house I cared for all at the same time for several years, ranging in size and age. Currently I own a Doberman, South African Mastiff(AKA Boerboel), a Pitt mix, and a Pomeranian! Although I haven’t owned a cat, I do care for my aunt’s kitten when needed! I am free from Saturdays at 5pm until Tuesdays at 6pm every week, this availability is due to the fact that I do have my daughter the other days, but I am also comfortable bringing her if your pet is child friendly feel free to message and I can come outside of this exact availability! I enjoy exercise, so any energetic animal will be fine with me, I am able to take long walks if that’s a preference of yours.

About: My experience has been shaped around my pets. I have had 7 dogs and 2 cats. I love pets of all kinds and want to be the best friend for your pet! Being a stay at home mom has allowed me to not only care for my pets but enjoy endless fun days as a family. Being able to provide for them when they’re sick really makes staying at home worth while. Building trust with a fur baby is very important to me. I wish to treat them like they are my own so I will approach them with love and tenderness to ensure the maximum level of care is given.

About: I've had dogs for over 15 years and a cat for almost 10 years and love taking care of them. I currently have 1 older cat living with me and he is very kept to himself. He's a sweet little guy who isn't bothered by other animals as long as they don't bother him! My availability is any time between classes which are scattered throughout my week. This is a small part time job I've taken for fun while going through my medical school journey so I spend most of my time studying. However, I will happily take your pet to a nice study spot! I'd also love to spend my study breaks on walks or runs with your furry baby! I am very flexible with timing and cancellations. Though I don't have professional experience, I have been around animals all my life. I'm very good at following directions and love learning new things. If the dog has special necessities, I am willing to accommodate. Pet care fits naturally into my routine as a student. I often take dogs with me to quiet, dog‑friendly study spots, and I use my study breaks for walks, playtime, or runs. Because my class schedule is scattered, I’m very flexible throughout the week and can adjust care times as needed. Spending time with pets is a fun and refreshing part of my day. I care for pets by sticking closely to their regular routine and following all instructions for feeding, walks, meds, and special needs. I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and comfort through walks, playtime, or relaxed hang‑out time. In my home, I have one older cat who mostly keeps to himself and does well around other animals as long as they don’t bother him. If needed, he can be comfortably kept separate in a bedroom he’s used to. I always aim to keep things calm, clean, and stress‑free for both pets and owners.

About: One of the best feelings in the world is being greeted by a dog’s wagging tail—a pure expression of happiness, joy, and love that instantly brightens the day. I grew up with dogs, and from an early age, I learned how much they truly complete a home. I always accommodate my clients' animals daily routines, because their comfort comes first. It’s never about my schedule—it’s about maintaining what they know and trust. Just because their owners are away doesn’t mean their routine should change. I love taking pictures, so you'll have great photos of your animals while you are away. This is my full time job. Nice days don’t go to waste!!! Your pet(s) and I will be outside playing, running around, and a walk around the neighborhood (if allowed). I respect every home by keeping it tidy and cleaning up after myself. If you need a good spring clean and organizing, my services are always available: Dust, vacuum, organize, picking up poop, taking the trash out, grabbing the mail, watering plants, picking weeds… you name it, I will do it!

About: After moving to the USA, I joined TrustedHousesitters to travel — and in just four years, I’ve stayed in over 50 homes across America. But when I’m at home, I miss having a pet of my own. That’s why I’ll be so happy to welcome your furry friend into my home, so they can feel safe and loved while you’re away. I work online, so I’m home all the time — except when I go to the gym. Welcome! Small, grown-up, well-behaved — or not so much I have a fenced yard and no pets, which allows your pet to feel comfortable and enjoy peace and privacy throughout the property. 🐾my love

About: Hey there! 🐾I have a true love and genuine passion for taking care and spending time with dogs and animals. cater specifically to each pets need, making sure they are not only getting taken care of, but paid attention to and loved throughout the entire stay. I have a back porch they have access to as well as a walkable park. I make sure pets are fed at the set times, and plenty of walks and trips to the neighborhood and nearby parks. Trips to get pup cups. I have a back porch the dogs can sit on. I make sure they are settled if I need to leave or work from home. I make sure the pets are in a safe environment, free the roam around, access to the porch and dog park. I provide toys and treats, and organize what owners have brought such as blankets, etc.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Sanford. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
