“Saige aka Ziggy was an absolute dog whisperer. Ziggy took great care of my dog, which allowed me to relax and enjoy my vacation. If you’re looking for a dog sitter or walker, stop searching. One report card wrote “An aggressive dog approached Boone, I stepped in front of Boone and the other dog ran off.” I mean talk about CARE & SAFETY. ⭐️ x 5”
About: I've been around dogs my entire life with experience ranging from hyper puppies to mellow older dogs. I've become the default care taker for any family members pet and love every second of it. My dog and I love going on walks and playing fetch in the backyard, she even sleeps on my bed which is the cutest thing ever. This is why I know how that special attention and physical activity is for a dog. I am capable of brushing and grooming the dog if they are well behaved. I've managed overnight care for a week while in school and making sure the pets were happy and well cared for. I'm reliable, organized and will always treat your dog as my own. Pet care fits easily into my routine since I have my own vehicle and a flexible part time job. I'm available on weekdays and weekends while always willing to work with your schedule to do what is best for your pets. I make sure that my dog is walked or taken outside every 4 hours. Having explicit instructions on how to care for your pet is appreciated so that I can ensure that the best care is provided. I always check to make sure that gates are closed in the backyard and that whatever environment your dog is in they feel safe and happy.
“Erin is a great combination of confidence and enthusiasm. She did great walking and running with our high energy dog who came home happy, calm, and tired! Looking forward to more walks with Erin!”
About: Hello! As a little girl I've always dreamed of working in animal care and I am enrolling in a local community college to start that journey. Thus far I have experience working in a kennel and at an animal hospital working with all breeds and temperaments! I currently work full time at a veterinary center that has a number of specialty services! I work Friday, Sunday, and Monday 12PM-12AM. I’m very flexible around this schedule as long as you can be. Not only am I caring for your fur-babies but I will be coming into your home and I want to make everything as comfortable as possible for you. I also enjoy sending out pictures (with your permission) and giving you update on how you're pet and home are doing.
“Meghan did a great job helping me take care of my pup during a very busy work week! They were very professional and had great communication throughout the week. He was tuckered out at the end of each day. Highly recommend!”
About: Lifelong dog lover skilled with reactive, anxious dogs and puppies—experienced in training, stimulation, and gentle, attentive care. I am a dog mom myself! My Dogs name is Eggy who is a 2 year old rescue with a love of balls and social anxiety. I am currently in graduate school working towards my masters in clinical social work. With this, I have ample time to spend with furry friends. Entering someone’s home is an honor and a privilege, especially when you are in-trusted with the care and safety of a pet. With this I try to respect the expectations of every pet parent and every pet. I work to leave a home as I found it, be mindful of the needs of each pet, and express my gratitude.
About: I have many years of experience taking care of dogs of all sizes, and am a true animal lover. I will treat your pets like they are a member of the family when they are in my care. I am a nurse with a very flexible schedule. I am available for boarding your pups on weekends and weekdays. Also available for drop-in visits at your home or dog-walking as needed. For boarding clients, I have a large fully fenced-in back yard, and two fur-babies of my own to keep your pup(s) company. My two 30 lb whippets love to run and play with other dogs. Also have the ability to separate dogs in my home if your dog prefers their own space away from other dogs when visiting.
“Jeremy was incredibly communicative and very responsive to messages I sent! Jeremy sent me very cute pictures of Mater, and let me know the start and end of the walk. Jeremy was very attentive to mater and was very observant about heat sensitivity, and made sure that mater drank water before Jeremy left! The next time I need a dog walker I’m absolutely going to book with them again!”
About: I owned and cared for a dog for 10 years and have experience caring for a variety of pets. Always careful about details when it comes to care. I am self employed and thus I am able to devote full attention as necessary to pet care when I am working for you and on the clock. I always am careful to understand the environment I am in and how it relates to the pet I am caring for. I also take plenty of notes on care details.
About: My first responsibility I had as a 4 year old was feeding our family dog, Shannon. Since then, I not only helped feed, walk and care for my own pets, but have helped others as well. Whether it was classroom fish, or boisterous double-dog walks, I always love making a pet's day brighter. I take pets' well-being seriously and like to do all I can to make your pet feel at home and worry-free in your absence. During the school year, I have limited availability during evenings and weekends. During the summer and school vacations, I am available weekdays, weeknights, and on most weekends. I offer drop-ins for cats, dogs, bunnies, and other small animals. I also offer dog walking. I am an avid athlete so I am happy to take on energized dogs who like long walks. I have experience administering oral medication and injections.
About: I've taken care of dogs, cats, birds and all breeds of animals since I was young. I love animals and the light they bright to our lives- who doesn't want their fur-baby cared for and safe while we’re away?!? With years on hands on experience in a veterinary office, I have become well versed in grooming (nail trims, bathes, brushing), behavior and medication administration. Each day I learn more and more about our furry friends and how to give back to them, so they can continue to give their love to us:) I am available to watch pets generally on Sundays, Mondays and most Wednesdays after 1-2pm. Though if a time is requested in which my services are needed, I'm more than happy to make another time work for your schedule! I like to keep pets healthy, happy and mentally stimulated. This means paying with their favorite toys, going on (leashed) walks, and following the feeding schedule in which you've established for your pet! It’s important to maintain their familiar routines.
About: Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me for years to care for their dogs and cats. I am now offering my pet care services to others! I work full time in a school setting. My weekends, summers, and vacations are very flexible. Most weekdays I am available after 3. I would love to get to know you & your furry friend! I am here to meet your dog-walking or drop in needs. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to make this process more comfortable for you and your furry friend.
About: I’ve been working with dogs for 3 years. I have had a passion for all animals since I was a kid. I’m willing to work with your pets needs in anyway needed.

About: I’ve worked with pets all my life. I am especially experienced with dogs. I’ve done a multitude of jobs from bathing, administering medicine, walking, etc. I am a college student that came home for the summer, that’s just looking for some extra money.

Brooke P.
“It will be difficult to keep my comments to 25 words. Brooke is my granddaughter and she is a wonderful and caring young lady. Besides being very caring for her grandparents, she has shown to be caring for animals. Brooke has been around animals for all of her life. As an infant my dog would curl up with her when she took her daily naps. During her grammar school and high school years, her family had 2 cats and a dog. She was responsible to help walk, play and feed them. She was the favorite member of the family for their dog to climb into her bed at night. Recently during the past year, Brooke took care of her Aunts dog and cat. When her aunt returned, her only complaint was the pets didn't seem to realize she was gone. Brooke took excellent care of them and kept their normal routines. I believe that animals have the ability to know who to trust. Whenever Brooke is around animals, they come to her and feel safe. Brooke is a responsible and loving pet caregiver and they all love her.”
