About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 20 years — not just as a sitter, but as a lifelong animal person. I live with two cats and two dogs (aka my little chaos crew), and I’ve been through it all: administering meds, soothing anxious pups, helping senior pets feel safe and loved, and even caring for a dog with epilepsy. I know how to read their body language, honor their boundaries, and make every visit feel like a familiar, comforting ritual. I also rescue animals when I see them in need — whether that’s coaxing a stray into safety, getting them vet care, or helping them find their forever home. I don’t just like animals — I see them, respect them, and care deeply about their safety, happiness, and autonomy. When your pet is with me, they’re not just getting fed and walked. They’re getting a friend, an advocate, and someone who truly gets them. I work from home and have a lot of flexibility. I would prefer long standing customers with at least one weekly walk to stay on my schedule. I do have a fenced in yard we could use for play. Though I would prefer to take dogs for walks in their neighborhoods or at the river. I am happy to play fetch, tug, go on long hikes, or take short strolls. Each animal must have their collar on with their owner's information.

“Extremely helpful for us last minute. Would totally recommend!”

About: From pint-sized 5lb Yorkies with fabulous hair to giant 130lb Goldens with a fluffy tail. I’ve loved and cared for them all! I adapt to every pup’s vibe: ready to hit the trail for a run, wander the park for a sniff-filled stroll, or curl up under a cozy blanket for cuddle time. As a true outdoors lover, I’m happiest when tails are wagging, noses are twitching, and pups feel safe, loved, and spoiled. Pet care is part of my everyday life! I work from home MWF and off on the weekends , so your dog will have company, attention, and supervision throughout the day. My husband and I are active and love going on walks, exploring parks, and enjoying outdoor adventures. Perfect opportunities for your pup to join in on the fun. Whether it’s morning playtime, mid-day potty breaks, or evening strolls, we make sure pets are engaged, exercised, and happy. Of course, we also love cozy downtime, so there’s always space for blanket cuddles and belly rubs. Your dog will be treated like part of our family, with a balance of activity, companionship, and comfort. In your home, we stick to all your guidelines and expectations, making sure everything stays secure and exactly as we found it. At our house, we ask that pups are potty trained since we have carpet upstairs, but don’t worry, I work from home, so your dog can enjoy frequent trips to our fenced backyard for playtime, potty breaks, or fresh-air fun. Whether at your home or ours, your pup will get lots of love, attention, and wag-worthy adventures!

About: Thank you for reading my profile! I aim to walk dogs in the evening hours to work on eradicating student loan debt. I have owned several dogs over the years, all hyper, and I truly understand the importance of exercising the pooch. Sometimes dogs left alone too long become destructive or suffer from anxiety. I believe that when it’s the dog’s walk it is THEIR walk. If they want to sniff a tree or pole, who am I to judge?! I carry poop bags, always, to keep your fellow neighbors’ lawns free from poop. So, when you stop and ask yourself, “Who let the dogs out?” Rest assured, I did! It was me! Let me give your pup the evening care and exercise they deserve!

“Danielle did an excellent job with Otis, kept me updated with pics and videos from her visits. He's not always the quickest to warm up but seemed to take to her on her first visit! Came home to a happy, healthy boy. Would definitely book her to look after him again!”

“Once again Amanda knocked it out the park! Our baby was super anxious when we left and I was so worried about her. Amanda came through like a rock star even offering different things she could do to try and help alleviate some of Jewel's stress. She kept me updated throughout the entire weekend and was so awesome with her communication. We are so blessed we found her!”
