“Alicia did a phenomenal job! She was very communicative, punctual, professional, and took some great photos of our dog on his walk. We will definitely be requesting her services in the future. We were happy that Jett did all his tricks and commands for her 😀”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was old enough to know how to. I love all breeds of dogs and want to expand my knowledge! I’m willing and able to travel anywhere and everywhere. I have taken care of senior dogs, and even immobilized dogs that need extra care. I’m able to be flexible and available to take care of your pet whenever is needed! Please make sure to let me know at least 3 days in advance for drop in visits and at least 7 days in advance for house sitting. I would prefer not to watch dogs in my home as my roommate has a cat, and we aren’t sure how certain breeds will get along. I’m open to come by your house or just come by to walk and play outside. I will respect your house rules and abide by any boundaries you set!
“Curtis has been walking our puppy for a few months now, she is always excited to see him. We appreciate his notes that capture our little girls personality and his flexibility to accommodate our changing schedule. Would highly recommend!”
“Maya was wonderful with my old gal, Bailey. Bailey has bladder cancer and as such, she has to stop to pee constantly. I can tell from the photos and the graciously long walks (she gave my sweet Bay some extra time) that Maya was patient and loving. Thank you so, so much.”
“Ashleigh was so good with my tender pawed reactive dog Charlie! Charlie took to Ashleigh right away and usually he is so wary. I trust Ashleigh to take good care of my pets!”
About: My family has adopted/rescued many dogs throughout my life, which has also given me experience to handle any dog regardless of their size or personality. Whether it is a small dog or a big dog I can care for them regardless of their needs. I am free 24/7 throughout the summer to help care for your pets. Whether that is one day, one night, or several days, I can be relied on to care for your pets while you are away. Due to my pet care experience, I am extremely capable of following directions. On top of that, I am used to working with animals in different environments, and can care for your animal/s precisely as requested.
About: I have taken care of dogs of all different sizes and personalities for 6 years. My friends and family all turn to me when they need help with their pets!

As long as you can work with me, I can go above and beyond to ensure your pets and your family are happy! I live in an apartment with my two 1-year-old cats who love all other animals and people!

I am comfortable with any fashion of pet-care so long as I am provided with specific instructions on how YOU care for your buddies. I like to maintain expectation and stability with the pets!
About: I am a local Hereford Zone mom available to help walk, check-in on, or watch your pet. I will give them the attention, love, and patience.

I work from home and my schedule is flexible to pop in and out and check in on your pets whenever you need me to.

About: I’ve taken care of all types of animals including hamsters, birds, and snakes which includes feeding, watering, and taking care of their habitat. However my main focus has been walking and taking care of dogs daily or for a long period of time. A special service would be walking dogs to Oregon Ridge Park. I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to play and/or walk your dog. This would allow me the opportunity to take your pet on a longer walk. For the pet’s well being and comfort I would make sure I have all the necessities for the pet, including food, water and toys. In addition I would need to have all the information for the dog in case of an emergency which would include both the pet parent’s number and the vet.
About: I have over 30 years of experience, taking care of both cats and dogs. I currently am without any pets so I am looking to do this to help out other pet owners and to fill the void in my heart. My daily routine consists of a fair amount of time at home. I also have the capability of working at home if necessary. As well, I can come home during lunch in order to let pets outside. I live in a calm Street where walks are safe and easy. As well, I love a good long walk on the NCR Trail for dogs.
“Rachel walked my dog with only a couple days notice. She was very quick to respond to my questions and was extremely detailed and courteous. She also sent me a few pictures of their walk which was a nice touch. I would definitely ask her to take care of my pup in the future.”
About: My family's love and appreciation for animals has instilled values of pet-care, discipline, and adoration for animals within me. Throughout my life, I've always owned a dog or cat, so I've grown accustomed to animal needs and routines. My experience with fostering has taught me the individuality of a dog's needs and how pets require care that is specific to their conditions and dispositions. One of my fosters was a puppy, so I have experience with a range of dog ages. Another was a border collie, so I am familiar with high energy dogs. My parents possess strict and high standards for the pet sitters that take care of our cat and dog, which has extended to my current standards that I hold for myself. I completely understand the struggle of leaving your pets, and with this in mind I will provide loving, reliable, and trustworthy care. As a student who is on break for the winter, pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. Having a flexible winter schedule allows me to devote ample time and attention to your pet's needs. My years of experience with animals allow me to affectionately and quickly connect with other pets. I strive to create a calm and loving atmosphere so your pets will feel at home with me. It is my top priority to ensure your pet's happiness and safety. With my accumulated knowledge I will cater to your pets individual needs, whether that be feeding, grooming, playtime, or cuddles.
