About: I’ve grown up around dogs for my whole life! In my family I was the designated dog walker/caretaker. I would love to be of assistance for families looking for someone to take care of their pup! I am a current college student, however I have plenty of free time/days to take care of your pets! I have played college soccer for the past four years, so I know how to be reliable and responsible. Currently my schedule is very open for dog sitting/walking and I’d love to help out! I live in a dog friendly apartment complex, so if necessary I could accommodate for pet care in my home. As for in a client’s home, I can follow any set of directions you left to take care of your fur baby!
“Craig and Edmy are wonderful! We hired them for a second time to walk our dog during the day while I was out of town. We had some last minute schedule changes and they were incredibly helpful and accommodating. We will definitely be using them again for future trips!”

About: I know how hard it is to leave your beloved fur baby and I want you and your pet to be happy, knowing they're in good hands. I am patient, gentle and affectionate with animals and want them to have a great experience whenever I am with them. I love feeding animals and giving them treats, but I am respectful of the client's wishes and will strictly follow all feeding instructions. I am physically in shape and able to walk/jog with your dog and go on long walks (I also live near the Pufferbelly trail). I will play tug, fetch or whatever game your dog enjoys. I am willing to take your dog on car rides and to the Huntertown dog park upon client request. I have a golden retriever that loves to play and go for walks, so if you want some socialization for your dog, I can also bring him along. My dog will only come by request of the client. I do have 2 cats in my home, so I can only board dogs who are cat (and dog) friendly. Otherwise, I am more than happy to come to your home and care for your dog(s).
About: I’ve taken care of one shitzu and terrier mix and one German shepherd which are my uncle’s pets as he is most of the time on a work trip. I would looked after them on weekends and holidays. I’m used to feeding them, taking a walk and potty breaks and giving them a bath. Right now, I’m on summer break and I am not looking for a part time job or anything so I have lots of free time to look after your puppies! I don’t have any pets at my home but I’m confident that I can keep them safe and comfortable in my home! I’ll make sure to be tailored to any specific requirements or needs of each pet!
“We were hesitant to leave Blue w “just anyone”, but after meeting with Jennifer and seeing how she interacted with her helped us get over the hump. Jennifer was totally awesome and my wife and I were able to enjoy our time away, knowing that Blue was in very capable hands. Will use her services again??, and again?”

About: I’ve been a pet owner my whole life. I have 3 dogs and 2 cats that I love! Any time I have the opportunity to care for an animal is a time I am grateful for! I love to take walks with my pups, play games with my cats, and snuggle with all of the above! I work from home with a flexible schedule. I have animals in my home so I am not open to caring for other pets at my residence. But I have a lot of availability and willingness to care for your pet at your home or do dog walks. I have experience crating my pets, taking walks on leashes, and play time in a fenced yard. I can adapt to your pet needs and follow all necessary safety protocols.
“She was fantastic with our Winston. He took right to her and couldn't wait to see her everyday. She has a special gift with animals and it helped us out alot with our little guy. Very dependable and trustworthy pet sitter. I would recommend her to everyone. She was a 10 in our book.”

About: I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life, I know how important it is to treat our animals like family! I go for walks every day and would love to take your dog with me! I exercise every day and try to get outside for walks at least once a day, taking a dog in need of some fresh air with me would be a win win for both of us! I have a secure privacy fence around my back yard and I work from home so your pet will never be left here alone. I treat my animals like family, and there are 2 days a week when it’s only me and my cat because my dog stays with family.
About: I've taken care of pets almost my entire life, the majority that I have taken care of are cats and dogs. I always make sure they get what they need such as food, water, exercise, play time, and attention. I always make sure that I take care of and treat them the way I treat my own. I am currently gaining a bachelor's degree in animal health and behavior. So I do know what to expect when it comes to a different variety of animals and their behaviors. Your pets are in safe hands. Pet care is an important part of my daily routine, and I plan my schedule around each booking. I make sure pets receive consistent care, attention, and time, and I always follow their established routine to keep them comfortable. When caring for a pet in a client’s home, I prioritize respecting their space and belongings. I only use items related to pet care and follow all household guidelines provided by the client. I always clean up after both myself and the pet, and I take pride in maintaining a clean, organized environment. Clients can feel confident knowing their home will be well cared for and left in excellent condition.
About: When I was in middle school, I regularly took care of my neighbor's 2 dachshunds when she would leave town. I have experience with older dogs. My cousins have me watch their dogs whenever they are out of town. One of their elderly dogs needed carried down the stairs to go outside. My sister has me take in her 9 year old doggo every time she is out of town. My mini poodle loves walks, and he required a lot of training to get used to the leash. He is a rescue, and he is amazing after a year and a half of getting used to his quirks and having to re-train him on pretty much everything since he was kept in a cage for the majority of his life until we adopted him. I am a returning student to PFW, and I am currently only working weekends. I am available to walk your dog during the week before, between, or after classes. Our dog does not leave the yard, but I have a tie-out in my backyard for when my sister's dog stays with us. Our yard is not completely enclosed, so if I am watching your dog at my house, they would need to be comfortable on a lead. If I am watching your dog at your house, whatever setup you have is fine by me! Whatever your dog is used to is going to be more comfortable for them.
“This was my first time using Rover and the entire process made me a little nervous. Tracy scheduled a meet and greet and answered all of my annoying questions. I have been using him for three weeks now and couldn't be happier. He sends pics from each walk and I can tell that my dog is genuinely enjoying himself. ”


About: I’ve had hands-on experience caring for dogs since I was 10 years old. Growing up with my own dog taught me the importance of consistency, patience, and genuine care. Over the years, I’ve handled daily walks, feeding schedules, playtime, basic training reinforcement, and general supervision. I’m comfortable reading dog behavior, keeping pets safe on walks, and making sure they feel calm, exercised, and cared for. I treat every dog like my own and understand that each one has a unique personality and needs. I am a full time college student looking to make extra money and willing to care for your pets to the best of my ability. I live in a college dorm with no yard. But if needed to take pet back to my dorm I could and am willing to.
About: I have been around dogs my whole life and taken care of dogs since I was about 10. Dogs are my life. They run my household and my only one rule with them is to love on them. I work from home so your pet will never be alone for a long period of time. I spent the last few years taking care of my senior dog who was almost 15 when she crossed the bridge. I still take care of another senior dog for my family. I work from home so your pet will always have someone. I will work around your schedule for feeding and medicine. I do ask that you bring their beds and toys so that they feel more comfortable. Fenced in yard with no children/ pets. I do not crate the dogs unless it is for their safety and comfort. I am still grieving my soul dog so this is my way of being around dogs and loving on them while my heart heals.
About: I've had pets for as long as I can remember and in my professional life I've worked in wildlife sanctuaries and zoos. From tigers and reptiles to primates and all kinds of domestic, I've taken care of them. I'm experienced with senior animals and any that need medication as well I'm currently only working at my other job on weekends, so I have plenty of time to play and take care of your critters too! I am comfortable taking your pups for walks or playing in a yard. Whatever your specific pets needs are, including cats or anything else, I can handle it
“Lydia is very kind, considerate, and prompt! She lets you know what's going on well a head of time if things need to be changed in the schedule. 10/10 Will definitely use again! Oh, and my Trudy likes her too 🤩😂”
