Kiara did an excellent job keeping me updated throughout the whole walk with Ford! I received many pictures as well as very detailed notes on Ford’s status, behavior, & over all well being during the walk! She took very good care of my boy & will definitely be trusting her with him for future walks/dog care.

Jared was GREAT! Kept me updated the whole time. Sent pics. Offered to take him running. Even let me know my dog might have an oncoming upset stomach (which he did) So my BF was prepared and laid out pads over the carpet. Saved me the headache of having to hire a cleaner or order a rug doctor. Will definitely keep Jared on the list of trusted walkers.

About: I've had dogs my whole life; from a Chihuahua to a German Shepard! Last summer I lost my 17 year old baby and I'm not ready to get another dog yet but I have the time and knowledge to watch yours! I volunteer at an animal shelter every week and sometimes I foster. I love going on long walks multiple times a day so it would be a bonus to bring your pup along! I have experience with senior dogs and medicine. I work 4 days a week and I make my own schedule so I can easily do a midday walk even if I'm working that day. If I'm not out walking or working I'm usually just at home reading and would love to have a furry friend next to me. I work Wednesday through Saturday as a hairdresser, I make my own schedule so I can easily schedule mid day walks. Most mornings I walk for 1-2 hours already so I'd love to bring a pup along. After work, I just stay in and read usually so I'd be a great companion. I'm a great house sitter, I'm very chill and clean and respectful. I can take your dogs on walks and also play with them in the houses and truly love them like they are my own.

About: I’ve spent years caring for rescue dogs and cats, and I understand how important patience, calm energy, safety, and trust are for every pet. I currently care for multiple rescued pets of my own, including two rescue dogs and rescue cats, so I’m very comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I treat every animal like family and always focus on making pets feel safe, loved, exercised, and relaxed while their owners are away. I’m reliable, attentive, communicative, and committed to providing dependable care you can feel confident about. I have a flexible schedule and genuinely enjoy building routines around pet care. Daily walks, exercise, feeding, playtime, and making pets feel calm and comfortable are already a big part of my everyday life with my own rescue dogs and cats. I’m reliable, punctual, communicative, and committed to giving every pet consistent attention, care, and affection. Whether your pet needs an active walk, companionship, or a calm and patient sitter, I always make their safety and happiness a priority. Safety, trust, and calm energy are extremely important to me when caring for pets. I always take time to understand each pet’s personality, routine, and comfort level so they feel safe and secure. I have experience caring for rescue animals and understand the importance of patience, structure, supervision, and positive interactions. I keep owners updated with messages and photos, closely monitor pets during walks and visits, and treat every home and animal with respect, reliability, and care as if they were my own family.

About: I have 3 dogs of my own at home - small, medium and large. An aloof golden retriever, a rescue from the streets of Mexico, and a dog in heart failure - requiring medication 3 times a day. I am experienced with all types of dogs, and regularly attend dog training and pack walks with our dog trainer on the weekend. I currently work remote, so I am able to work from your home, as needed, to look after your pets closely and carefully. I can make sure they get proper bathroom breaks, walks, and structure that is needed! I am comfortable working within the boundaries you have established for your pets. Whether you like to keep your pets crated at night or not, I can accommodate what you'd like!

About: Life long animal lover with three rescue pups of my own! I have hands on experience with the medical needs of pups, including special needs, as well as handling (and loving) dogs with behavioral issues. I ALWAYS go above and beyond to provide much love and patience for the ones who may need a little extra care & understanding! I also have a snake and a tortoise, so I’m confidant and comfortable with reptile care as well. Since my house is at max capacity when it comes to fitting another animal, I’d love the opportunity to extend my nurturing care to your pets, whether that means taking them on a walk, playing with them, or pet sitting in your home. I know first hand the amount of trust it takes to leave your fur babes in someone else’s care, and I would be honored to be that person for you! With me, your pets will always come first. Not only will they be safe, but also loved and engaged to the fullest! I can’t wait to meet you! I work two park time jobs while attending school full time online. I’m home a majority of the day Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, & Sundays! I care for pets in the home of the client providing drop ins, overnights, and walks! My schedule can be adjusted to meet all of your fur babies needs!

About: Hi! I’m McKenna 😊 I’m a huge animal lover with hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I have a high-energy pup, Ruthie, who has completed both basic and advanced training, and a cat named Binx—so I truly understand the different needs, personalities, and routines of both! For dogs, I’m very comfortable with high-energy and excitable pups and can help reinforce basic training like sit, stay, place, and leash manners. I love getting them out for walks, playtime, and making sure they feel safe and cared for while you’re away. For cats, I know every cat is different—some want attention and playtime, while others prefer space and routine. I’m experienced with feeding schedules, litter box care, and making sure your cat feels comfortable and stress-free in their own environment. Whether your cat is social or more independent, I’ll meet them where they’re at. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always prioritize safety, consistency, and lots of love. I’m also big on communication and will send regular updates and photos so you can feel completely at ease 🤍 Experienced with: • Dog walking, drop-ins, and sitting • Cat check-ins and care 🐱 • High-energy dogs + basic training reinforcement • Crate routines and structured environments • Feeding schedules and medication instructions Looking forward to meeting you and your pets! I am available Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays & Sundays, morning, mid afternoon and night time! Whatever you need throughout the day, I’m your girl and I would love to help look after your pet! When I go to your home, I want to make sure your pet feels comfortable with me. I will be patient as I know some animals take a bit to warm up. I will make sure to give them all the pets, get their energy out by playing or going on walks.
