About: Hi! I’m an experienced and reliable dog walker with a genuine love for animals and a passion for providing safe, attentive care. I’ve worked with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities—from energetic puppies who love adventure to senior dogs who need a slower pace and extra patience. I understand that every dog is unique, so I take time to learn their routines, personality, and individual needs to make sure they feel comfortable and happy. My goal is to give your dog not only exercise, but also companionship, attention, and a positive experience while you’re away. I’m dependable, patient, and committed to treating every dog like family. Safety is always my top priority, and I believe in positive reinforcement, consistency, and building trust with both pets and owners. You can count on regular updates and communication so you can feel confident knowing your furry friend is in caring hands. I look forward to meeting you and your pup and becoming someone both of you can rely on! I don’t have a daily routine or pets of my own at this time, I have learned that pet care becomes a set of repeating rhythms spread across the day rather than one big task. A typical routine often looks like this: * Morning: feeding, fresh water, a walk or litter-box cleanup, and a quick check that the pet seems normal in energy and behavior. * During the day: exercise, play, mental stimulation, bathroom breaks, and attention that matches the animal’s needs. * Evening: another meal if needed, more activity or bonding time, grooming for some pets, and preparing a comfortable sleep setup. * Less frequent tasks: brushing, nail trims, cleaning habitats or bedding, training, medications, and vet appointments. Different pets shift the balance a lot. A dog may anchor your day around walks and exercise, while a cat may need shorter play sessions and litter maintenance. Good home pet care usually includes consistent food and fresh water, regular exercise and play, a clean living space, grooming, and attention to health and behavior. Dogs often need walks and training; cats need litter-box maintenance and play. I also watch for changes in appetite, energy, or behavior because those can be early signs that something is off.

“Teri continues to be my dog’s favorite dog walker for those times I need an extra hand. She is so sweet to Bella and they love each other so much! Terri continues to be reliable and punctual, and I hope that she continues to be available when I need her.”

“Great experience with Jessica! She is friendly, reliable and great with our senior dogs. She took great pics during their walks too. I will definitely call on her again.”

Shawna F.

“Jennifer is amazing and takes care of my Lacey as if she is her own! Lacey actual makes gleeful noises when she knows Jennifer is about to arrive! Jennifer was also so kind to make last minute arrangements for Lacey to stay with her parents when we had to head out of town. She’s a marvel, she is trustworthy- & comes & goes from our home when we are not here. Jennifer gets 10 star rating!”

Jackie N.

“Taylor took great care of Pixie while we were out for a long day. She took her on a couple of long walks and sent us lots of updates. She was very professional!”

About: UPDATE: I loved my past dog sittings, however I took time off to be a caregiver for my husband and then my dad. My best boy Oreo recently crossed the Rainbow Bridge and I am ready to shower that love on your furry loved ones. I love all animals and have a fondness for dogs of any type. I have had various size dogs all my life. I have been involved with animal rescue organizations, as well as fostered many dogs. My current dog was a foster that I ended up adopting. I am retired and available to take care of your fur babies in your home! I love playing, snuggling, and walking with them. Your fur babies will get plenty of attention and I will provide pictures while you are away. It will be my honor to take care of your cherished family member and ensure they are happy. Since I am retired my schedule is flexible. I am available to care for your fur baby and take care of your home, as needed. I will follow all guidelines you provide in caring for your fur baby at home. Snuggling on the sofa or giving them space is ok.

About: I have always loved dogs and cats and always love being around them so I would love the opportunity to make you and your animals happy. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I care for my 14-year-old dog and two cats every day, which includes feeding, fresh water, exercise, litter box maintenance, grooming when needed, and making sure they are comfortable and happy. Caring for senior pets has also taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and paying attention to changes in behavior or health. Because pet care is already a regular part of my life, I am comfortable incorporating additional pets into my schedule and providing them with reliable, attentive care. 🐾 Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. I provide fresh food and water, potty breaks or litter box cleaning, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention based on each pet’s needs and personality. I carefully follow any instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, or special care requirements. I also make sure pets have a safe, clean environment and keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident their pets are being well cared for while they’re away. 🐾💕

About: Caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life. I’ve grown up with cats and have extensive experience caring for cats with medical needs, including diabetes, thyroid disease, feeding tubes, and medications. I also grew up caring for friends’, family members’, and neighbors’ dogs, giving me experience with pups of all sizes and personalities. I currently have two cats, Winnie and Luna, who are incredibly loved and spoiled. I also volunteer at my local animal shelter, helping care for cats and prepare them for adoption. Helping animals feel safe, loved, and confident enough to find their forever homes is incredibly rewarding, and it’s one of my greatest passions. Your pets are family, and I promise to treat your fur babies with the same love, patience, and care that I give my own. I can’t wait to meet them! As a teacher, my availability changes throughout the year! During summer, Thanksgiving, winter, and spring breaks, I have a very flexible schedule and can provide daytime, and extended care. During the school year, I’m available on evenings, weekends, and most holidays. I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible and look forward to caring for your pets when you need a helping hand! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s individual needs, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and favorite activities, so they can stay as comfortable as possible while you’re away. I provide plenty of love, playtime, enrichment, and attention, while always respecting your home and following your care instructions closely. I also send regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your fur baby is happy, safe, and well cared for.

About: I have been a pet owner (dogs and/or cats) for over 30 years of my life. I have past experience as a vet tech and a groomer, and I would love the opportunity to meet and treat your pup as one of my own. We have two other pups in the home who love other dogs and are hoping they’ll have a chance to play with your dogs soon! I currently work remotely, from my home for my job, so I am available to care for your pet(s) any time they may need it. I have a fenced back yard (half of which is 6ft vinyl privacy fencing) and two energetic pups of my own, to keep your doggo(s) entertained for hours.

“Jill kept in contact and sent me photos of my dog on his walks. He's quite a strong puller and can be difficult to handle but Jill was great with him. Highly recommend.”

About: Im in my 50's but Ive always loved animals since i was very young.. i was in 4-H as a teenager & thats when I started petsitting. When I was 28 i started my petsitting/housesitting business. I had that business for 20 years in Ohio. We moved here in 2019. I have continued my petsitting here & love what I do! My visits are about 30 minutes. I do feeding, watering, litter boxes, medications, insulin is okay also. I will bring in the mail and newspaper and water plants & fill birdfeeders. I enjoy walking dogs as well as playing with them in their yard. I am comfortable with many other pets including cats, Birds, fish ()I have a 40 gallon aquarium, & a 10 gallon) hamsters, gerbils (& other rodents) guinea pigs, ferrets, rabbits, iguanas and other lizards. Thank you so much! I also have experience with horses, ducks, goats & a few cows lol! Petsitting is my career so thats my priority. Visits are tailored to your pets needs. I like to schedule as far in advance as possible so I work my days off around what I have in the book. I tailor my visits according to your pet's needs. I can do as many visits per day as you would like. I can also stay longer if you need. When I do "housesitting " , its a bedtime visit, sleepover & morning visit before I head out for other clients. I will do as many drop-in visits as you would like during the day before I return for the overnight (housesit).
