Ben has been great with our new puppy! He’s very patient, and was able to take the time to get our puppy to warm up to him. He’s also very punctual and professional. We’ll defiantly be using Ben in the future!

I came in from our of town for a family gathering and needed a last minute walker for my dog. Jeffery was great with communicating with me for the last minute need. Was great handling Denise (my 2.5 year old had) and they had a nice hour long stroll around the neighborhood. Would recommend

About: My whole life as long as I remember I was the biggest pet lover. I had my own pets and I’ve taken care and walked the dogs of my neighborhood. I just love them. I work part time, which gives me a lot of time to do my favorite thing: pet sitting!!! I work part time and have a lot of time for my favorite hobby which is caring for these lovely creatures. I have a fenced in yard and I love walking in the woods with the doggies. I have a fenced in yard and I walk the dogs three times a day. My 2 lovely dogs will keep your dogs company. I will make sure they are spoiled.

About: I've absolutely adored animals of all kinds since I was a little kid. As an adult, I've worked in shelters, kennels, and in client's homes. I am also currently a certified professional dog trainer. Depending on the days, I may have to make short trips away to train my client dogs. I will gladly spend the entirety of the rest of my time with your pets, including overnights! I am happy to follow a schedule if one is provided. I will also provide video or picture updates as frequently as requested. I will also be happy to check the house the pet is staying in to make sure it's safe for the pet. Any messes or accident's are no problem for me to clean up and I will inform the owner about them.

About: I’ve owned pets since my daughter was young and brought her first kitten home. I’ve been helping her to walk dogs for a couple years now. I’m retired so my schedule is fairly open. It gets me walking and outside, two things I enjoy. It helps my health and makes me feel good. Happy to walk your dog! Cannot have pets stay at my house as I have a kitty cat of my own. His name is Toby and he’s a real pain in the butt! 😂

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 5 years old when I got my first puppy! I have raised puppies, provided senior care, and helped train dogs with behavioral issues. I've taken care of all kinds of breeds ranging from small to large dogs. I spend a lot of time outside and believe our pups should always join when possible, I focus on teaching off leash skills so that dogs can get the most of their time outside with me. I'm currently working remotely and have flexibility in my schedule. I have time for regular bathroom breaks and exercise. I'm a bit of a homebody and make sure the pets get the attention they deserve! I have a large yard with a friendly dog to keep your fur friend company. I do have a couple crates of varying sizes to ensure your pet has their own space if they need it.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs my entire life — from family pets growing up to helping friends, neighbors, and clients with daily walks, overnight stays, and everything in between. Dogs have always been part of my world, and I treat every one like they’re my own. I’m attentive, patient, and tuned into each dog’s unique personality and needs — whether that’s long walks, structured routines, playtime, or just extra cuddles. Your pup will be safe, loved, and well cared for with me. I am available all week with the exception of my gym time for an hour each day- I work for home so am very flexible. We have a large yard with 3 sides of it being fenced. Mainly I would like to take your dog to a gated park to play and get some fresh air, or wherever you like us to go. I do have a car for transportation.

About: Who doesn’t love a dog?! They're innocent and give unconditional love. And they love my scratches and pets. Prefer animals over people for sure, honestly I’m searching for my new adventure, enjoying having an easy flexible life currently and enjoy being able to give owners peace of mind when away. I follow the owners preferences and take care of them as if they were my own. I give them all the attention and love I can.

About: I have owned dogs since I was ten, taken classes on dog behavior, researched them and training, and was a volunteer for shelters who needed more handlers on call at specific times. I’m currently in school and working part time. I go to college in another state. So I mostly sit during the summers and school breaks. When I am home though I love getting my fill of animals. I don’t get to see my dog much at school, so coming home and being able to care for them brings me so much joy. I can care for pets however needed in a clients home. As long as instructions are clear and wishes are stated I will have no problem meeting them.

We are very happy to have found Brittany, who is very reliable, communicates very well and did a great job in tending to our dog. He took to her right away which is not always the case as he is a nervous fellow. We will be using her services again and highly recommend her.
