About: I have been a dog owner for 15+ years, and have taken care of friends and families dogs along the way. I come from a family that lives on a farm, so I have taken care of dogs, cats, horses, chickens and bunnies all my life! I know how important outside time is, along with play and potty breaks! I am a teacher who has the summer off, so I am around during the day and evenings specifically during the week! I am looking for some walking buddies and extra outside time this summer. I am a responsible and reliable caretaker, I will always use a leash when outdoors at my home, and whatever the comfort level is for your home. There are lots of sidewalks and parks where I live that are dog friendly and I have a front porch where dogs can sit outside with me.

About: I am an Animal Behavior student with professional experience in dog daycare, training, educational animal programs, and wildlife rehabilitation. I have hands-on experience working with dogs, cats, rabbits, small animals, reptiles, and rehabilitating wildlife in both professional and personal settings. Through my education and experience, I have developed a strong understanding of animal behavior and body language, allowing me to recognize signs of stress or discomfort and create a safe, calm, and positive environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. My schedule is very flexible, and I have plenty of availability throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. I also work part-time in animal care, so my hours can occasionally vary, but I always do my best to accommodate different schedules and provide dependable, loving care for every pet. Your pet’s safety and comfort are really important to me. I have experience working with animals in daycare, boarding, training, educational animal programs, and wildlife rehabilitation, so I understand how important patience, supervision, and routine are. I always respect owners’ instructions and work to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with me.

Katharine did an excellent job walking my very shy dog Violet for an hour. She came over and spent time with Violet beforehand, so that Violet would not be scared of her. Katharine arrived on schedule and followed all of my instructions perfectly. I have already scheduled more walks soon and am so pleased to have found her.

A nice home for them to relax. I can take your pups out anytime needed!

About: Caring for animals has been a constant part of my life. I grew up in a home that always had two dogs at a time, and before moving out, my family had raised six wonderful dogs together. From energetic pups to older companions, I’ve experienced the full range of what it means to care for dogs through different stages of life. I currently share my home with two special-needs cats, which has taught me patience, attentiveness, and the importance of understanding each animal’s unique personality and needs. Managing medications, monitoring behavior changes, and creating a calm, safe environment are all things I take seriously. My primary goal when caring for your pet is simple: I want them to feel happy, secure, and relaxed while you’re away. I also know how important peace of mind is for owners. I’m communicative, reliable, and happy to provide updates so you can feel confident your pet is safe and cared for. I treat every animal with gentleness, respect, and the kind of attention I would want for my own pets. I work remotely in IT for a nonprofit organization, which gives me a very flexible weekday schedule. Because I work from home, I’m able to provide consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy having some furry company during the week. Whether that means a midday walk to break up my workday or a fuzzy companion nearby while I’m at my desk. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I’m happy to structure my schedule around walks, feeding times, medication needs, or check-ins. Your pet won’t be left alone for long stretches, and you can expect consistent updates while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect your routines and instructions carefully. I follow feeding schedules, medication needs, walking routines, and house rules closely so your pet’s world feels as consistent and familiar as possible while you’re away. I also provide regular updates so you can feel confident everything is going smoothly. If your pet stays in my home, their comfort and safety are my top priorities. They will have their own dedicated space in my finished basement office that is clean, hazard-free, and separate from my cats. This allows visiting pets to relax without feeling overwhelmed, and ensures everyone stays safe and stress-free. The space includes a comfortable couch just for them, plenty of room to stretch out, and a calm environment away from household noise. I’m home during the day, so they’ll receive regular supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and attention, balanced with quiet time to rest.

Lauren takes great care of my Old English Bulldog Chaucer. From the first visit you could tell that Lauren has a lot of experience caring for dogs and Chaucer and Lauren got along right away. During the visits, Lauren understands Chaucer’s needs and brings him out for quick walks when it’s too hot (he could easily overheat) or when it rains (which Chaucer hates). Lauren will continue to be my first choice when I am looking for a walker/sitter because I know that Chaucer will be in good hands. Thanks, Ryan and Chaucer

About: I was the primary caretaker of my family dog for about 10 years, while I was living at home, and I was a part-time dog sitter in college. I currently have a flexible schedule, so I’ll have plenty of time to tend to and play with your furry babies. I can make anytime during the week work! :) In someone else’s home I treat both the pet and the house with respect. I ensure I know exactly what the pet is used to: whether they sleep on the bed, use a crate, how they interact with other pets or children. I secure the perimeter (doors closed, yard gate locked), I follow any medication or behaviour instructions closely, and I keep a log of walks, meals, playtime, and potty breaks. At night I do a last check: water bowl full, lights are safe, any doors/windows secured, pet comfortable in its space. I aim to leave the home just as I found it, if not neater.

About: I’ve had animals my whole life. I have experience taking care of cats and dogs. I’m a cat person myself, I have two sibling cats Bonnie and Clyde, but I love dogs just as much and will take care of all animals with love. My current work schedule is 11-4 Monday-Thursday, 11-8 Friday and Saturday, and I’m off Sundays. I am pretty flexible when it comes to animals. I always make pet safety my top priority by carefully following the owner’s instructions for feeding, walks, routines, and any special needs. In a client’s home, I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure at all times and keep pets in their normal routine. I also make sure fresh water is always available. I respect each client’s home, keep communication open, and send regular updates and photos so owners feel comfortable knowing their pet is being well cared for. If a pet seems nervous or shy, I stay patient and let them adjust at their own pace.

About: I've grew up with dogs and have been responsible for taking care of them, including feeding, walking/running & playing/taking outside, bathing, and more. I have experience giving older dogs medicine, both orally and injections (especially insulin for diabetic dogs). One of my dogs developed hip dysplasia and cancer at her older age, so I am experienced with caring for senior dogs in need of extra attention. Additionally, I often pet sit for family and friends and am trusted to ensure not only their basic needs are met (clean water, food, bathroom breaks/walks), but also they receive attention and affection while their owners are away. I'm currently home for the summer as a college student and I'm unable to get a job with a set schedule because I have surgery coming up which takes a huge chunk out of my summer but I'm available for the entirety of June and first week of July. I can basically be free whenever needed, weekdays and weekends! Since I have cats at my house, I don't care for client's pets in my own home to minimize conflict. In clients homes I follow whatever rules laid out for their animals, ensuring they're fed at the proper intervals, always have clean water (and litter boxes if used). If applicable, I like to go outside with the pets to play with them and make sure they get needed stimulation. I take them on walks (and of course clean up after them), and runs when applicable. I also like to make sure the animals get lots affection (as long as approved by their owners) to make sure they're not lonely while away!

About: Hi, I’m Leah! I know how hard it is to trust someone with your pet, because I’m the same way with mine. That’s why I treat every dog or cat I care for like they’re my own. I’ve spent the last 10+ years working hands-on with animals, including time as a vet tech and kennel attendant. I now work remotely and would love to use my extra time to care for and love on your pets while you’re away! Whether your pet needs a calm walk, playful energy, or just a comforting presence while you’re away, I tailor my care to their personality and routine. I’m big on consistency, safety, and making sure your pet feels comfortable and loved. You can expect: 🐶 Plenty of attention, patience, and affection 📸 Regular photo and text updates so you’re never wondering how things are going 🕒 On-time visits and clear communication 🏡 Respect for your home and your pet’s routine I’m especially great with pets who need a little extra reassurance, structure, or a sitter who truly pays attention to details. My goal is always for you to come home to a happy, relaxed pet, along with total peace of mind. I’d love to meet you and your pet! Feel free to reach out with any questions or to set up a meet & greet 😊 I work fully remotely, so I am very flexible as far as walks, visits, or overnights go. Pet sitting is a passion of mine that I truly love and make time for outside of my regular 9-5. I am not able to host your pets currently due to having my own cat, but I am happy to come to you to make sure your pet is most comfortable and stays in their routine.
