About: I have always had animals to take care of, including many ordinary cats and dogs (even though most aren’t ordinary at all). I am confident in my ability to read an animal’s body language and feelings and I’m consistent with training/commands/rewards. I’m a stay-at-home mother of one child, so I will have lots of time to play and tend to the needs of your fur babies. My schedule is open any time of day and day of the week. I have two fenced yards, and a dog of my own. Whether your dog wants their space or wants to play, I got it covered. If there are any special needs for your pet, I am more than happy to make sure they are taken care of while you’re away.
“Katlyn took my dog for a long walk while I went to an appointment and she did a fantastic job. My dog had the biggest smile on his face when he returned! He is a very strong, hyper, and young Labrador male and he can be a handful at times! But she knew of good training tips and helped get his energy out for me. I would definitely recommend Katlyn as well as trust her to take my dog out on another adventure! It was a relief to know he was in good hands.”
“Mckenzie was great! You can really tells she knows what she's doing. She knows how to pick up on behavior and is well versed in training. I was in town for work staying at a hotel and she was able to accommodate last minute. Highly recommend!”


About: Hello, Friends. I'm an all around animal lover. Born on a farm in Oregon, I'm use to diverse animal behaviors and care. My services include dog walking and house and pet sitting. I also provide horse feed, walks, and other farm animal care while you're home or away. As an active person, and beach lover, your pet is always welcomed to have some outdoor fun with me and go for a run or some water time. I'm First-AID and CPR trained for dogs and other furry pets so you know your best buds will be in great care while they are with me. I look forward to hearing from you and meeting your pet(s). My Schedule: I work from home part-time so my schedule is very flexible. My routine is based around the pets care and needs. I do attend dance every Tuesday and Thursday for two hours, so I will be away during the evening for two hours. Environment: I keep a very clean and safe environment for all pets in my home. I am always stocked with treats, toys and comfortable relaxing areas.
About: I have a 14-year-old kitty and have cared for senior cats and dogs. Some of whom were blind and deaf. Friends have relied on me to walk and feed their pets. I also enjoy kittens and puppies. I am currently semi-retired. I keep a clean home and am active. I can walk, play and be your pet's substitute companion. I live a block away from a city park. I play and talk to your fur babies. I can brush them and provide their medications. I can be relied on to be available and to report to you while you are away.
“John was recommended to me and we were very happy. He came by for a meet and greet and our pups really liked him, John is also very friendly and polite. John really likes dogs and put in a lot of effort into the walks. Our old dog goes on a short walk and our young dog needs a long walk. Looking forward to having John come by again!”


“Haley is fantastic! She provided routine dog waking services and was professional and super sweet to my fur daughter while I was recovering from surgery. She is prompt with communication and very flexible if there were any schedule changes.”

About: We are very responsible and treat the animals as if they are our own! We take two walks a day, stay on top of feeding and medicine times, and love to snuggle and give rubs and treats 💕 My mom Nancy and I run our pet care business together! She is retired and always available so we team up when needed to ensure that your pup is never left alone for very long :) We have a large fenced in backyard. We have experience with reactive dogs and dogs with separation anxiety. We can provide anything from walks to boarding to hang out time and have experience with giving medicine.
About: I have had pups all my life, of many different shapes and sizes. I have lots of experience caring for elderly pups as well training puppies. I am comfortable with big dogs as much as I am little ones. I recently lost my dog of 20 long, happy puppy years, and am eager to put all the extra love I have to give into your pup. I have trained countless dogs to walk well on leash, if that’s something you need help with. I am also comfortable with big off leash (or on) hikes, if that’s what your pup prefers. I have a 90 lb bernedoodle puppy at home who delights in off leash adventures. If your dog needs socializing, we could all go together! I work part time and attend graduate school remotely, so I’m able to spend ample time with your beloved pets! My husband stays home with our dogs when I’m pet sitting, so not much need to leave once I’m there. I am very cognizant of escape artists and all sorts of mischievous puppies and kitties. I am very communicative with all of my clients; I’ll send pics and texts or calls if you prefer several times a day (unless you’d rather be left alone!)

About: I grew up with all kinds of animals and I am willing do to whatever it takes to make them happy, comfortable, and cared for. I work full time as a residential cleaner, starting at 9 am and end times vary depending on how many houses I need to clean. I do have a full yard and I moved to a house so i no longer live in an apartment. I dont have any dogs. Not since I moved out. I watch a beautiful hound when his parents need time away. My parents have two beautiful well taken care of Rottweilers. I have five cats. I feed them good quality food and occasionally do raw food diet when I can afford it. I play with them when I can and they are inside cats.
About: As a pawrent to 4 yr old husky I have a lot of mileage with high energy, smart, and stubborn breeds. I also know we can all use a hand sometimes with our furry companions and I’m here to help lighten the load when life picks up. I am available for walks during the week days at lunch hour, after 5:30 pm, and weekends. If you have a request outside of this description please ask 😊 At this time I will not be caring for other pets in my home, and my dog will not be accompanying the walks either unless it’s preferred.

Animals are my favorite people, and yes, I said people :) I would love to care for you furry friends when you are in need I currently work full time and most of my availability for Rover will be on Monday and Tuesdays. I could do some drop ins the rest of the days though :) I currently do not offer in home care as my apartment is pretty small. I would love to care for your fur babies inside of their home :)
About: Hi, I would love to take care of your sweet fur babies! I have had animals my entire life, so I have many years of experience. I will treat your pets as if they were my own: spoiled rotten! I find a special connection with each animal I encounter. I truly believe with animals, we humans can experience unconditional love. I have cared for dogs, cats, horses, chickens, and even a deer named Burt! I am very active, so if your animal needs high activity, I’m your girl! I have also taken care of senior dogs (my own), blind doggies, and a very grumpy cat. I teach yoga and Pilates, so I have a flexible schedule, with plenty of time to spend with your babies.
About: I've always had a dog or 2 throughout my adult lire. My last dogs were 2 labraodor mixed dogs from the local shelter that I enjoyed walking twice a day everyday of their lives. I also enjoyed taking them to go on hikes in New Mexico and Texas. I also enjoy cats but I am most comfortable with dogs. Currently I am working part-time 3 days a week - I have Wednesdays through Saturdays off so those are the days I'd prefer to schedule but could also schedule Sundays through Tuesdays if your pet can be left in a crate at my house for boarding. I very much enjoy walking dogs. I would try and see what makes your pet comfortable - if they seem like they need attention I enjoy making you pet feel comfortable.
