“Thank you Pat for going the extra mile with our Aussie girl! She was a bit timid but Pat was resilient to earn her trust and try a few different methods to get her to head out for a walk. We had no idea our dog would not come out even though she met Pat already. She was scared we hadn’t come home and Pat made sure to keep at it so she could potty and we could be at ease. Thank you again Pat!”
“Adriana, was a great communicator! She walked our dog Cash twice in one day! It was a complicated situation as well. We were staying at a camp ground and she was very accommodating and took Cash and 2 really long walks!”
“Amber is amazing. Lydia loves everyone including Amber, however, the same cannot get said for Freddy. He is very skittish, but hasxwarmed up to Amber in no time. She took the time to get to know the dogs before their 1st walk which made a difference.”
About: I've taken care of cats and dogs since I was 6 years old. I have pet sitting experience both with boarding and in home care. I've worked at a grooming place bathing, drying, and brushing cats and dogs. Pet care is my only job. My schedule is open. So I have full availability. I am also not attending college right now so there's no issues there. We have other friendly pets in the house to keep your fur babies company. We have a backyard for them to use the bathroom and play. My neighborhood is also good for dog walks.
“Caroline was amazing! I can’t praise enough how awesome she was when I needed care for our dog while at a wedding. She really went above and beyond and gave me peace of mind, I would absolutely recommend her in the future!”
About: Hi! I'm new to the app, but I guarantee you won't be disappointed if you give me a chance! I have over a year's worth of using the Wag! app consistently, with a 4.9 rating and over 150 services completed and several repeat clients. I also have experience working at a doggy daycare+kennel for nearly a year (Kessler Kennel Farms). I currently work with Happy Dogs at Home. My first priority is making sure the pets I care for are in the right hands; each experience tailored to their needs and being the best I can be for them. I am familiar with working in extreme weather conditions, administering oral medication, cleaning bodily fluids/ waste, heavy lifting/walking long distances, being attentive to detail/behaviors, working under stress, and caring for variety of dogs. I am also willing to transport pets in my car if that is a service you are interested in, as that is what I do for my job with Happy Dogs at Home! I 100% prioritize the safety and happiness our pets deserve, and you can be assured I will be attentive and follow strictly to instructions always. I will be available after 2pm on Sundays, Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays as I have my other jobs, but depending on how many hours I end up working there this can be flexible. Tuesdays and Thursdays I am available anytime. I have a fenced yard my dog loves to play in. His daily schedule consists of being let out in the morning, eating breakfast, being let out again. I will fill his water as needed and let him out for a bathroom break or to play around every few hours until dinner, and he is let out one more time before bed.
“Heather is the absolute best dog walker we have ever had. She goes above and beyond on each visit, always staying longer than she needs to to make sure our dog is happy and taken care of. We trust her completely. She will even bring her own toys to help exercise our very active beagle. She sends adorable pictures and notes with each visit. Recently, she went back to our house after her scheduled visit to open windows because she was concerned the fumes from some floor staining would affect our animals! She is very attentive and responds quickly to any questions or concerns we have. Her schedule is very flexible and accommodates whatever we need. You can tell she truly cares for all animals. We love Heather and recommend her without any reservation!!”

About: I had a dog from birth until he had turned 18, and I had been his sole caregiver for the last 4-5 years of his life. I also grew up around dogs and cats, currently I own 2 cats, a boy named Winston who is 2 and a girl named Amelia who is just over 6 months old. I have always been a reliable source in pet care for walking, feeding, playing, and bathing a loved ones pet. I currently live with two cats who use tofu litter, which needs to be changed every day otherwise it will spoil. Both kitties get bathed on a monthly basis and are fed wet food twice a day. I always measure their meals and check ingredients to make sure my cats are getting the healthiest they can be. Winston is a long haired cat who requires a groom every 2 months so I take him to the groomer as well. In clients homes, I will clean up after any dog/cat messes, make sure they’re fed and have taken any medications or treatments they might need. I currently cannot take an pets in my home but I am available for stop-ins and in-home pet sitting, as well as walks to get the sillies out in high energy animals.
About: “Wag more. Bark less.” is my motto and animals are a quintessential part of my identity. I have always loved animals of all kinds and have spent many years caring for them in different capacities. I got my dog fix in high school by volunteering at my local shelter. During and after college I worked at a boarding facility for 5 years cleaning and providing playtime to canine and feline guests and was a doggie daycare counselor. Finally, I now work as a receptionist at a veterinary office. All of these jobs have given me experience with a wide variety of breeds and personalities - you name it, I’ve seen it. I have also been fostering dogs, puppies, cats and kittens in my home for two years (in addition to my own 2 dogs) so have constantly adapted my daily routine to fit my household - I have patience and experience with puppies especially. I work full time but live less than 10 minutes from my job so come home during lunchtime. I also have flexibility to bring animals to work with me if needed. I work long days so have a few days completely off during the week. I have a finished basement that provides peace and privacy for pet guests at my house. When visiting your home I will treat it as my own and leave it as I found it and abiding by any house rules.
