“Justin did a great job walking Stu while we were out of town and Stu was staying at our cousins house. The communication was outstanding and we couldn’t ask for a more professional, kind person. Thanks very much Justin! We appreciate you!”
“Debbie has worked with us for about 2 years and has been great with our dog! Our dog started out as a very shy puppy that was scared to be walked down the street and with Debbie’s patients and kindness he now loves to explore on his walks. Debbie is the best dog walker you can find”
“Gabby is AH-MAZING! I am a helicopter dog mom and I don't trust just anyone with Nails. We are so happy to have Gabby to take care of him while we are gone. She really cares about animals amd is very much attention to detail. Our dog is quite the jerk but he loves Gabby and that makes my heart happy.”
About: Hi, I am Becky and I am a lifelong animal lover. I have always had pets in my home since birth. My husband shares my passion for animals and has served as a Vet Tech in the Army. As we have traveled the world, we have watched pets of all ages and sizes. My kids love having furry friends visit and enjoy joining me when walking the dog. So much so, my daughter's first word was "kitten." In our home, we have a beautiful black lab, tortie kitty, and a handful of geckos that live in our backyard. Now that my three children are in school, I would love to assist you with dog walking, cat and dog boarding, and daily check-ins for any of your furry family members.
“Jackie is so good with my dogs! They love her!”
“Samantha was amazing with my dog, even coming to meet Harleigh and I before the scheduled walk! She followed all the directions, and sent me the cutest pictures. Very nice and trustworthy. 10/10! ?”
“We have had many Rovers, but Elise is one of the best! She is super flexible, dependable, and truly loves your pets. My dog Rory loves her! Highly recommend!”
“I have nothing but good to say about Haley. She was very professional, punctual and caring of our boy. We loved how detailed her report cards were. It really put us at ease whenever we checked on our dog. Would highly recommend her services.”
About: I was born with a love of animals. As a small child I had cats. My grandmother got me into show dogs when I was in Elementary school. I helped her care for Schipperke she bred. I've owned a horse, dogs, cats, fish. I've worked on friends farms. My friends rely on me to pet sit for them in their homes when they go on vacation. I'm currently on vacation and open to meet your pets schedules and needs. When I go back to work I will be on call. Scheduling won't be an issue. I prefer to do pet care in your home where your pet feels safe and comfortable. I enjoy walking around the neighborhood or going to the park for a good run.
“Fantastic! My dogs were taken care of and given the exercise they need!”
“Thank you”
About: I am Erica, a full-time teacher turned dog sitter who can provide flexibility and quality service to you and your pets while you are away! I have over 18 years personal experience with animal care. I have trained puppies, difficult dogs, and have experience administering medication to dogs who need it. Prior to having children, I rescued and trained dogs from Death Row. I am an animal lover of all kinds! I work full time as a teacher, so I am only available outside of school hours. However, I have plenty of flexibility otherwise to fit your needs and your schedule! Summer is my main time to book drop ins, but I am available outside school hours during the school year. I like to stay busy on school breaks as well! At home, I have a partially fenced yard that your dog is welcome to explore. Otherwise, I will leash your dog when it is time to go outside, or if your dog is trained off leash it is your call for me to leave him/her off. I have 2 children who love animals and I have experience with animals of all kinds. I do have a dog. He loves to lay down & be pet! Since I’m a teacher in town, the neighborhood kids love to come over to use the trampoline or throw the football with my son, so there are often kids around.
About: Hello pet owners! My name is Kylie, and I am a lover of all animals. I currently have 2 cats that are 7 years old, a Black Lab pup that is 6, a Hound dog that is 4 and our most recent rescue is a Pitbull pup that is 10 months old. I have also raised 2 other rescues that I had the joy of having from the time they were pups though their senior years. I have 20+ years of experience in animal care and would love to take care of your family members. I am currently a full time teacher looking to work with part time with your pet. I am currently able to do pet care in your home. At this time I am not able to take care of pets in our home. We are still working with the new rescue dog and getting him adapted to our home.
“Alekzandra always does a fantastic job not only with my dog but also communicating with me. She truly cares for your animals and my dog absolutely loves every time she gets to hang out with Alekzandra.”
About: We have three dogs who are more spoiled than our children. We dont like people, but we love animals 🤣. We love walking and playing, and so do our pups! Our babies are spoiled rotten and we can't help it. Our pups have their own doggie pool that they can use any time in the summer. We have tons of toys and one of our favorite things to do is just be home with them and de stress. We sometimes go to the dog park or take walks on the Black River Trail, too! I work as a social worker full time, and my husband is in full time compliance. Due to our work schedules we do require dogs who are able to be left alone (in crate or without) for 4 hours at a time. We can let them out on lunch breaks and provide plenty of play time before and after work. We care for our own fur babies every day, having extra in the house is just an added bonus. Our animals are loved all day long, and we promise to deliver the same to yours. We have a large fully fenced in yard in a rural area, so we have lots of room for running! Our pups go in and out as often as they want. We do allow pets on the furniture, always! We do ask that younger pups are in a crate at night time unless they are exceptionally well behaved, for safety purposes. If your pup shows behavioral issues that make it difficult to maintain safety, such as biting or excessive aggressiveness, we will add on an extra charge to the booking. This is almost never an issue, and we are able to separate dogs as needed. When staying in our home, your pups safety is always our number one priority.
“I never have to worry when Sabrina is taking care of my pups. She watches out for them as if they were her own and always keeps me up to date while I’m away. Hop and Zoey are very comfortable with Sabrina and are always happy to see her. Thanks again for the great care!”
About: I have always had a fond love for animals. I enjoy catering to their needs as applicable, as well as servicing their busy owners as needed. I am a college student that is currently in between semesters. I have free time to service pet owner's beloved animals as needed. I have an open and flexible schedule. I live a couple doors down from a large, enclosed space for your animals to run with me. I am an avid runner, and enjoy having a partner to increase my running pace.
About: Thank you for visiting my profile. My name is Katie, and I am here to help you with your furry family members! I've been a pet owner for 20+ years. I've owned a cat and 5 dogs to date! I have always considered my pets family and have gone above and beyond to ensure they receive exceptional care. I have cared for pets of all different ages and sizes, including puppies and elderly pets needing special care. I have a calm and caring demeanor, which allows me to easily connect with new fur babies. I offer housesitting and can watch your pet from the comfort of their home. I also offer drop-ins and love to walk dogs (all sizes & breeds)! It would be great to be able to show you how well I can care for your furry family member! I treat all pets like they are my own! Please send me a message with any questions you might have. Please Note: I do require a meet and greet with all new clients. Safety is very important to me. My schedule is fairly open & I am able to help almost anytime Monday - Sunday. In most instances, I can rearrange my schedule to fit yours. I will ensure I am always in the same vicinity of your pet when visiting your home. I can crate your pet if needed and always make sure they are leashed before leaving your home with them. Please reach out if you have any specific questions. Thank you!

She enjoys being outside, and is very welcoming to every dog she encounters. She even went back to pick up after him one time. She is very fit and can most likely handle any size dog she needs to walk. Very down to Earth, friendly, and you will not be disappointed if you choose her to walk your dog for you.”
