“Lisa and Michael were such a joy. It was clear Wilson absolutely adored their time together. He looked forward to seeing them everyday. They both were extremely reliable, on time and can tell they love your pet! I will absolutely be using them again when I go away.”

“Victoria was absolutely terrific with my new shelter rescue. Who needs quite a bit of training as it turns out and she is was very patient and kind. Took time to help her learn to adjust to walks very appreciative for her help.”

About: Throughout almost my whole life I’ve been taking care of a bunch of different types of animals. I took care of a Goat once IN MY APARTMENT. HAHAHA I had her in the balcony with a lot of plants so she could eat. But then we had to let her go as she grew up because there wasn’t a lot of room in the apartment for her. Then I took care of my 4 dogs, Dory, Kylie, Kevin and Max. They were my reason to be. I don’t have them anymore, but I will always remember them in my heart. ❤️🩹 I have now a little cutie cat, called Coffey. She’s like my child, I love her with my life. I’m in college right now, so I would like to have this job as a part time. And the only reason I’m taking it as a job is because I need to pay college if not I would have been doing it for free. I like to see what are the needs of the pet first. I like to check if there’s any dietary restrictions, any medication, any allergy or any other personal indication for the pet. And after I have that covered I do whatever the owner allows me to do like playing with them in the yard.
“Julia went above and beyond to accommodate our very socially anxious dog. He’s always extremely excited to see her again, she stayed with him to calm him down when he was howling out of loneliness, she always replies quickly, and she’ll even bake cookies for the owners. Best experience we’ve had on this app”

I offer a range of services including boarding, drop-in visits, and daily walks.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for years, from an energetic American Staffordshire to a sweet Goldendoodle, and I love every minute of it. I’m all about walks, playtime, cuddles, and keeping pups happy, safe, and comfy. I specialize in weekend and long weekend stays. I’m also available for drop- ins and dog walks early in the morning and in the evenings, Monday through Friday. My focus is always on keeping dogs happy, safe, and comfortable. I love getting to know each dog’s personality and tailoring our time together so they feel happy and cared for.
About: Since I was young, I have taken care of a variety of dogs. My responsibilities included walking, feeding, and playing with them. I have also been with puppies that were being potty trained. I have a flexible schedule. Please reach out to confirm my availability for specific days and times. I am also willing to take last minute bookings. In other people’s homes, I will feed, walk, and play with the dog as often as you would like. I will also clean up if needed and I can crate them if you would like!
About: For my whole life, we've always had dogs in the house and, as I’ve gotten older, there was definitely a period where it seemed more like a zoo than a human household with all of our rescues. When I was in high school, I fell in love with training dogs and really never wanted to do anything else. Over the years, I’ve made every effort to immerse myself in the field through work at Petco and multiple daycares, as a volunteer at Kent Animal Shelter, as a student with the Animal Behavior College, becoming a CPDT, opening my own business, and tentatively dipping my toes into the grooming aspect of it all as well. Hopefully, as time goes on, I can continue to pursue my dog training career as a multifaceted professional and expand more fully into my own business. I run my own multifaceted pet services business offering a variety of options from training and boarding to walking and photography, so my whole day circulates around pet-related bookings and activities. I live on half an acre of land with a fully fenced in yard, separate attached dog run, and plenty of space to run! We do a perimeter check twice daily to make sure the fencing is secure and the grounds are meeting our standards of cleanliness. I can easily crate dogs if that’s what their paw-rents request, but also have no problem allowing them to roam through the house if that’s what they’re accustomed to. I do have a few pups of my own, but they’re the friendliest guys you’ll ever meet — one is actually a quadriplegic! Everyone is separated while eating and stay separated for about an hour following meals to allow food to digest. Let me know if there are any other accommodations your pet needs!
“James was a great fit for Ivy. She like him immediately. He is prompt, goes above and beyond and my pup truly enjoyed the midday walks which worked well for my schedule that week. Would highly recommend!”

I have a very sturdy fenced in yard with absolutely no way to escape with big water and food bowls for your choice of food and water also a nice clean bed for them to sleep in. Im also very respectful of people and their hard earned properties I treat others as well as there belongings/properties as if its my own.

About: I have been a lover of animals for years. I am comfortable with all animals big and small, young and old. I am also intrigued by animal training as I am currently becoming certified in ABA. I am currently working during the weekdays from 8:45 to 2:45 but I am available afterwards or even early mornings. I am also free all weekend! I provide a loving, and warm environment for all animals. I believe animals need opportunities strive in their environment, but I understand how that can be difficult to be achieved. This is why I believe stimulating activities such as play and walks encourage a healthy mindset and behavior for animals.
