Anna was a huge help with my dog Brody! She was very punctual and communicative. She always let me know how her visits went and made sure Brody was happy before she left! I will definitely be using her again ☺️

About: When I had dogs, I treated them as family. They were always loved and cared for. I am familiar with all types of dogs, as I am a retired letter carrier and have had many encounters with dogs and I can proudly say that I have never been bit by any of them. Most dogs on my old route are always extremely excited to see me when I arrive at their homes or when their family members are walking them. I have had four dogs in my life, all rescues, and am quite familiar with the needs of my canine friends. I don’t mind cleaning up after them, it is all part of loving our fur babies. Don’t kennel your dogs when they could get so much love with me. I would love to look after your furry friends.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog owner with a deep love for pups of all kinds. While new to professional walking, I’ve spent years caring for and walking my own dogs. I treat every dog like family—safe, happy, and tail-wagging guaranteed! I'm currently in college with a mostly online schedule, which gives me plenty of flexibility and time to care for your pups with lots of walks and snuggles! Safety and comfort always comes first. I always follow any instructions closely, keep environments clean and secure, and give each pet plenty of love and attention. I aim to create a calm, trustworthy space where pets feel safe, happy, and at ease—just like they would with family.

Max took great care of our dog, Jax. Spent time with him inside and played with him outside on a rainy day, and took him on a nice long walk in better weather! Good updates and photos of our dog. Would love having Max see him again when we need it!!

About: I have always had fit babies growing up and love them all. Why leave them alone when they can have someone to play with all day I am unemployed right now so I have all the time to focus on caring for your fur babies. It's better for them to be entertained than to be caged out tripping up your home.... Right. I have a fenced in yard. Plenty of toys.... And a friendly little boxer who loves me friends. Oh and she also has a human sister too 😂.

About: I've taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. We've always had at least one dog in our household and also currently live with a cat. I have also walked other dogs and have taken care of dogs here on my own. I currently am unemployed and am not yet in school so my schedule is completely open. The only issue that I might have for these next few months would be an issue with scheduling with the rest of my household. I have experience handling large and small dogs and do not get worried if the dog gets worked up. I am very aware of how empathetic dogs are and can remain calm. I also can keep to a schedule and give pets the love and care they need and deserve.

About: I have owned and loved dogs all of my adult life and recently became a cat lover. I currently have no animals and would love to share my caring nature with one or more of your pets. Not ready right now for another pet, but watching over furry friends for others will certainly help to fill my void until I am ready to adopt another cat or dog. At this time I am home full-time and my hours are very flexible. If I am available I don't mind last minute requests. Dog walking is a great exercise and I love to just be around animals-I have none right now. My home is very pet friendly. No pets at home right now so no concerns about how two sets of animals might get along and your pet will get all of my attention. No children in the home either. I have a large yard-though not fenced. My neighborhood is a bit rural but close to town. I work part time during summer months. That seasonal job has ended and I have no work commitments right now. Looking for animals to care for. I provide a loving and safe environment for pets. Have cared for my own dogs and cats over the years. Currently have no pets and would be happy to offer my pet free home to your animals. I am missing my own but the time is not yet right for another pet for me.
