Dog Walking Swan

“Kate has been walking our dog for a couple months now and I don’t know what we would do without her. The dogs love her and we have loved her great communication and flexibility. I would highly recommend her for any walking or sitting needs you may have.”

About: At a young age, I began to understand and care for our pets and those of friends and family members. I’ve learned how to be patient, kind, and active in order to provide the best care for dogs of various ages and sizes. Living in an apartment now post college, I’ve quickly realized how much I miss the joy and love a dog can bring. I would be incredibly honored to care and provide the most love to your furry family members! I do have a hybrid work schedule but it does come with flexibility to work around any at home requirements. I’ll typically be out of town Monday through Thursday, and have Friday through Sunday available at home. If given enough advance notice, I can manage my schedule to fit around your pets schedule. My work events can change weekly, so planning ahead of time is essential. When I’m not on the road, I work from home and have the ability to care for pets around the clock. My apartment complex is pet friendly, and there are many dogs that live throughout the building. There is an open grass area where many of them do their business, but I do prefer to walk around the block to give your dog more to sniff and space to choose where they’d like to “go”. There are also many local parks that I enjoy going to for little adventures! Since I will likely be working from home while caring for your pet, I will be able to provide 24 hour care and understand their needs throughout the day. Over the weekends, this will also be provided, as I typically stay home and go out around the area locally only.

“Thank you! Lillie was able to come by with very little notice and arrived right on time. She was easy to communicate with and very patient with Squidward, who is shy and nervous around new people. They went for a walk, and when the heat became too much for him, she appropriately brought him back early. I had a good first experience and will likely book with her again so Squidward can continue getting comfortable with her.”

About: I have cared for animals since I can remember- I grew up on a farm and my first ever job was at a pet store where we had extensive education about animal behavior and nutrition. I started fostering animals after college and while I don't do that full time anymore - cats and dogs always seems to find their way to our house when in need. I have done dog walking and house/ cat sitting on and off for friends and friends of friends for years and I always go out of my way to find more animals to cuddle. This gig seems like the best way to do that! I work 12 hour shifts only a couple days a week so I have many free days for pet care. I am home all the days I'm not working and can spend it with furry friends! I have a fenced in back yard and tons of walkable space near my house for plays and exercise for your baby. I am good at going with the flow of whatever the fur baby's energy is but I am also great at following a routine for your baby as well.

“Sophia took great care of my dog for his afternoon walk. Very communicative and quick responses if I needed anything. I knew my dog was in good hands”

“Lauren has been amazing to work with! She met with us before since my dog can be a little shy but he warmed up quickly to her. She was always on time and quick to respond. I’d recommend her to anyone in need of pet walking/sitting etc.”

“Sydney is such a great Dog walker. My dog needed a little extra exercise today and she was willing to run with him a little. That was so nice.”

About: I've been caring for animals for more than 20 years, starting with my own cats when I was 13. Over the years, I've also pet sat for friends, neighbors, and members of my community, and for nearly 10 years they've trusted me to care for their pets while they're away. I have experience caring for pets with special needs, including senior animals and those with ongoing health concerns. I understand the importance of following routines, administering specialized care, and making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved in their own environment. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have a very flexible schedule. I primarily support my wife's career, which gives me almost open availability throughout the week. The only times I'm typically unavailable are briefly around 8:00 AM and 4:30 PM when I'm giving her a ride to and from work. This flexibility allows me to accommodate a variety of schedules, whether your cat needs morning and evening visits, midday check-ins, or care over multiple days. I'm happy to work with your pet's routine to make sure they receive consistent, reliable care and plenty of attention while you're away. Because I have two cats of my own, I don't offer boarding in my home. Instead, I provide care in your pet's home, where they can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. I'm available for drop-in visits and walks, and I'm happy to tailor my care to your pet's individual needs. Whether that means feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, taking dogs for walks, administering routine care, playing with energetic pets, or simply spending quiet time giving them attention and affection, I'm committed to making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I also have experience caring for senior pets and animals with special needs, and I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions to ensure your pet receives the same level of care they're used to at home.

“I am a very over protective doggie mom. I met Claire and instantly liked her and so did my Daisy. She helped us out for a few days and I cannot tell you how pleased and grateful I am for hiring her. She is wonderful with dogs (and mine is strong and a bit wild). My dog LOVES her! I cannot recommend Claire enough! I wish this offered more than 5 stars!”

About: I’ve always had animals of my own, basically since I was old enough to walk. I started my own pet-sitting business when I was 13. I’m the go-to for friends and family when they need their babies cared for and I love every breed. I studied veterinary medicine for a number of years and have more recently begun to train dogs, as well. I work full-time but I make my own schedule. I also live just a few minutes away from my work and can pop back to my house when need be. I’m already taking care of our senior dog, our new puppy, and our two cats. I love being outside and taking the babies for walks. I have a fenced in yard as well as two other dogs and two other cats. I have a large crate as well as two portable enclosures and no shortage of extra bowls, blankets, toys, and towels. I live in a great neighborhood and there is a park a block away. It’s important to me that animals are well taken care of and I love spending extra time playing and snuggling with any babies I get to hang out with.

“Thank you for your attentiveness and love for Lou 💕”

I can fit in wherever and however your pet will be most comfortable. I am capable of crating animals and also love to cuddle up with them, I am punctual and communicative and want to make your pet feel as comfortable as possible!

About: I've been passionate about caring for animals my entire life and come from a family of dedicated pet lovers. Over the past 9+ years, I've provided reliable pet care for friends, family, and neighbors, gaining experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I take the time to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. As the owner of a senior dog, I have firsthand experience caring for older pets and understand the patience, attention, and specialized care they often require. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with companionship, I'm committed to following their routine and providing individualized care. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I pride myself on being dependable, attentive, and communicative, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind by providing compassionate, trustworthy care while keeping you updated with photos and messages during your pet's stay.

I’m available for walks/drop ins before work, on my lunch break or after! Rules that are set in your household/on walks for your pet are the rules that I will follow. Additionally, I’m a triple checker on everything I do for my pet and same goes for yours.

About: I've loved and cared for animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up with dogs and cats, helping care for the pets of friends and family, and raising my own dog, Gus, have given me experience with feeding, walking, playtime, and maintaining daily routines. Whether they're big or small, I genuinely love getting to know each pet's unique personality and making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. As a teacher, I bring patience, responsibility, and strong communication to everything I do. I'll care for your pet as if they were my own and keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I am a teacher, who is available all summer, to walk, care for, and feed your lovable pets! -24 hour care -7 days a week I'm happy to care for pets either in your home or welcome them into my own. I know every pet has different needs, so I'll follow their normal routine for feeding, walks, playtime, rest, and any special instructions you provide. My goal is to create a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where your pet feels at ease. Whether I'm caring for them in your home or mine, I'll treat them like family and keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

“Excellent Appreciate you taking good care of my little boy😊”

About: I seem to be a magnet for anxious dogs and cats! Both my senior cat and adolescent dog have behavioral issues/anxiety, and while it has its challenges, I find bonding with these guys can be the most rewarding experience. Between slow, gentle movements, not rushing a bond, and having lots of treats on hand, I've learned that "difficult" personalities don't always have to be so hard. I work 8-5 on weekdays, with Mondays and Fridays being working-from-home days. I can easily incorporate lunch-time and evening visits into my schedule during the week with open availability on weekends. After adopting an anxious/reactive dog, my partner and I have invested countless hours into a training program that works for us. Through this experience, I've learned the power of positive reinforcement, consent for touch, and patience even when it's the most difficult to find it. I'm a huge believer in redirecting unwanted behavior rather than punishment of any kind. Love and respect is the driving force behind all of my interactions with animals!

“Always just the best communication and such great care shown! I completely forgot to complete the booking but she still came and made sure my sweet girl was taken care of until I could respond and take care of my whoops. Thank you!!!!”
