“Kristin was wonderful! I have a sassy calico kitty and she was patient and kind with her! By about the 5th day she started warming up to Kristin so I know she was good with her!

“Emily was fantastic. She was prompt and very friendly. She was always available to text and got back to me as soon as she could. She took lots of pictures and kept me updated on the pets. She even cleaned up a few times when they had accidents in the house. She loved on the pets well and they were all good when we got home. We will definitely use her again when going away. Thank you Emily for juggling it all and keeping our animals well taken care of.”

About: I was previously a manager at a doggy daycare in Chicago, where I worked hands-on with dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments. During my time there, I gained valuable insights into dog behavior from our top trainers. My responsibilities included socializing puppies, administering medication to senior dogs, providing 20-minute relief walks throughout the day, and preparing individualized meals. After leaving the daycare, my passion for understanding canine behavior deepened, and I began pursuing professional training. I earned my dog training certification through PetSmart, where I later taught group classes. I led a variety of courses, including: • Puppy Class – covering potty training, crate training, predicting behavior, and basic commands • Intermediate Class – focusing on leash walking, stays, and environmental cues • Trick Class – teaching fun and engaging behaviors • Advanced/CGC Prep – preparing dogs and owners for the Canine Good Citizen (CGC) test I taught these classes for a year before moving to North Carolina, where I now live on a farm and continue my education as a trainer. I’ve worked with a wide range of dogs, including blind dogs, flood and lab rescues, German Shepherds, Dobermans, mixed breeds, and more. I primarily use positive reinforcement methods but am currently expanding into balanced training to better serve dogs with a variety of needs. I'm currently just working part time on the weekends and have full availability: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday to give your furry friend all the love and attention they need. Will follow pets normal routine ex. feeding, walking, playtime. I personally don't mind animals on furniture but will follow whatever rules the pet is used too.
About: I've been a dog lover since the day I was born! I've always had dogs and currently have 2 that are spoiled rotten! I am currently a dog walker for a dog walk company. I love walking into a clients home and the pups are always so excited to see their walking buddy! I recently completed a dog training foundation course, so I know how to train basic skills using positive reinforcement! I have been practicing those training skills I learned on my own dogs and have seen so much positive outcome and they love a good session! I currently work 9am-4:30pm Monday-Friday! I could do some evening drop ins or strolls around the neighborhood to burn some energy and get some exercise! I am unavailable on weekends Caring for a clients pet I always take very serious! I treat the pup like it's my own! Keeping the pet away from high traffic areas and always keeping a secure hold on the leash! I always bring some water with us on a walk and always keep an eye out for anything that could cause harm or anything that may make the pet feel uneasy!
“When I met Emma for the first time, we hit it off and I knew she would be a good person to take care of my babies. Emma was Heaven sent. She sent me videos and pictures of my kitties daily and informed me of a concern SHE had about one of them. That showed me that she payed attention to them and she cared. Emma did a great job and I guarantee you, she will take care of your baby(ies) as well. Thanks Emma and Rover.”
“Reba used so much consideration and care when looking after my elderly cat. She was kind, gentle, and understanding of his temperament and needs and it made me feel so much better about leaving him for a week.”
About: With dogs and cats as part of my family since childhood, I’ve developed a deep love and understanding for our furry friends. I’ve happily pet sat and dog walked many times, making sure each pet feels cared for and cherished. My experience as a kennel assistant at a busy boarding facility taught me valuable skills in pet care and medical treatment, ensuring every animal’s health and happiness. I also worked at a rescue, where I cared for dogs and cats of various breeds—feeding, grooming, and supporting those who had faced tough times, helping them on their journey to loving furever homes. Whether it’s dog walking, cat and dog sitting, or quick check-ins, I bring passion, kindness, and plenty of experience to every visit, making sure your pets feel safe, loved, and joyful while you’re away. I'm currently on summer break from college so I would be available during the week from 9am-7pm. And for long-term and weekend sittings with notice. When caring for pets in my client’s home, safety, trust, and environment are my top priorities. Having grown up with dogs and cats, and with hands-on experience working in a kennel and animal rescue, I understand the importance of creating a calm, secure space where pets feel comfortable and loved. I always follow each pet’s unique routines, including feeding, walking, and playtime, to maintain their familiar environment and reduce stress. My background in medical care and rescue taught me to be attentive to any health needs or behavioral cues, ensuring prompt and gentle responses. Building trust comes naturally by being consistent, patient, and respectful of each pet’s personality—whether it’s a playful kitten or a senior dog. I treat every home as if it were my care while providing compassionate care that keeps pets safe, happy, and relaxed while their family is away.
About: I am 56 yrs old and have had pets almost all of this time. I am a wife,mother of 2 adult children, Teacher, and Fur baby mom. I work M-F during the day (until 4pm). I am Free to do care in evenings, and all weekends for overnight care in mine or clients home. I have a large fenced in yard for dogs to play in,and nice home for them. At someone's home I would follow directions from client.

Haley W.
“Haley is one of the kindest people I have ever met and truly lights up a room when she walks in. Her love for animals is evident in everything she does. Haley has always had a deep passion for animals, and she even left her previous job because she felt that the corporate setting didn't allow for the level of love and proper care that animals deserve. This decision highlights the high standards she holds for animal care. Although Haley has not been my dog walker, she is one of only two people I trust to watch my dog. Whenever Haley is around, she gives my dog so much love and attention, and my dog absolutely adores her. I highly recommend Haley for anyone looking for a dedicated and compassionate dog walker.”
Jessica P.
“I highly recommend Jessica as a Animal care taker, I say Animals because she has cared for my 2 parrots, 3dogs 2 cats, a handful of chickens, 2 full of life fish tanks, and my tank of frogs and lizards. When I arrived a week later they all had clearly been fed and received fresh water!!”
