About: I've loved and taken care of dogs since I was around 12 years old and I had several dogs of my own and I have experience fostering dogs as well. I have worked with dogs of all ages - from puppies to elderly dogs - and I have experience administering meds and caring for ill dogs. I've worked with all kinds of dogs - from Chihuahuas to Great Danes. I've been a stay-at-home dad for the last 13 years and have worked from home for 8 years. I have ample availability during the day to walk your dog(s) and to feed and care for them according to their needs. I treat all animals with kindness, and will carefully and considerately follow any and all care instructions. I have experience getting dogs into their crates or kennels and administering meds to dogs.

“It was great! Dana did an excellent job, great communicating, and happy dog when I got home!”

About: I’ve never known life without animals. I grew up caring for dogs, cats, chickens, a pig, and horses, and have been responsible for animal care in some form since I was around six. Today, I have three dogs and three cats of my own, including two dogs under 1.5 years old, so I’m very comfortable with puppy energy, training routines, enrichment, walks, and consistency. I also have experience caring for senior pets, cats and dogs with different medical needs, and animals who need a little more patience or structure. I’m comfortable giving oral and injected medications, following detailed feeding and medication schedules, and noticing when something seems off. I’m also very active and love hiking, so I’m happy to tailor exercise to the dog in front of me — whether that means a relaxed neighborhood walk, a longer adventure, extra sniffing and enrichment, or helping a high-energy dog burn off some steam. What I bring most is a lot of real-life animal experience, patience, and attention to detail. I know the small things matter when someone else is caring for your pets, and I take that responsibility seriously. I am self-employed and work from home M-Th, so I can work anywhere and have long weekends. My work days are completely on my own schedule, so I have time for potty breaks, walks, play time, or drop in visits whenever needed. I'm happy to help with your pets on any schedule. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible and take the time to understand their specific needs, personality, feeding schedule, medications, exercise preferences, and any household rules before care begins. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both the pets and the space, and I’m careful about things like doors, gates, leashes, food, medications, and anything else that could affect safety. I also pay close attention to behavior and changes in appetite, energy, bathroom habits, or anything that seems unusual. I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you know how things are going. My goal is to keep pets comfortable, safe, and as close to their usual routine as possible while you’re away.

About: I've taken care of a variety of pets since I was young. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, lizards, turtles, fish, chickens and goats. I have experience caring for both young and senior dogs. I prioritize play and walks for young, active dogs. I have also administered medication to senior pets. I am a cleanly person and will clean up pet waste during the duration of my sit. I am currently employed part time. If you are ok with your pet being left alone for 5-6 hours for 3-4 days of the week please contact me! Right now, I don't work weekends so your pet would not be left alone for as long on Saturdays and Sundays. Beyond working, I do prioritize ensuring dogs are given regular bathroom breaks. I am attentive. If you have a dog, we ARE going on walks and WILL play. I follow instructions as to food quantity and medication administration. I clean up pet waste. I water gardens. Will do some cleaning during my stay if you'd like. Will clean up after myself and your pet.

About: I grew up with dogs my whole life. I have one of my own. I have trained and raised a couple puppies and housesit and cared for many dogs. I also have veterinary care experience. My schedule is currently very open and I am looking to add caring for animals more into my life as it is something I really genuinely enjoy so I’m available for last minute or prepared ahead of time plans I have a fenced in backyard, with access to a doggie door.

About: Hello I'm so excited to meet my new friends with paws. Being a mother with an abundant amount of free time on her hands makes me the perfect candidate to give lots of love and attention to my new friends. I only ask that you book outside of school times add I can’t adjust the times I take check ins. I love going on walks myself so why not bring a friend! I worked with dogs full-time at petco as a groomer I have 8 year's experience. I work well with dogs of all ages. I also work well with dogs of all temperaments.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 7 years and have experience with dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I always focus on providing safe, loving, and dependable care. Whether your dog needs exercise, playtime, feeding, medication reminders, or extra patience and attention, I’m committed to making them feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and keep owners updated for peace of mind. I’ve been caring for all kind animals for over 7 years, including dogs, chickens, ducks, goats, and other pets. Working with a variety of animals has taught me patience, responsibility, and how to recognize different needs and behaviors. I provide safe, dependable care, plenty of attention, and regular updates so owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands. Caring for animals is already a big part of my daily life. I spend time each day caring for my own animals and enjoy being active outdoors. Because of this, dog walking and pet visits fit naturally into my routine, allowing me to provide consistent care, attention, and updates to pet owners. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible. I provide fresh food and water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention. I make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for, and I keep owners updated with messages and photos during visits.

“Linda was prompt, responsive and very friendly. My dog loved her after one walk. I will definitely book again!”

About: Hello, my name is Kasi. I have two kiddos, a husband, two dogs and a parrot named Turkey. I am a stay at home mom and my husband works full time in automotive, so I figured this would be a nice way to make some extra income. I have over 20 years of experience with all different types of animals and love working with them. I have a great communication as well as a solid work ethics. I have a very flexible schedule and the adhd to keep up, haha. I am a go getter so the animals and even garden care/ house sitting is just the thing to keep me on my toes and meeting new faces! I like to give a postcard to each client with all contact information for myself as well as my husband. I also request that all clients do the same in return. I like to have a full rundown upon the meet and greet to really get to know one another. I keep a clean and well maintained home and yard for the safety of the humans and animals. If services are taking place in the clients home, I will ask a book of questions just so I can feel undeniably confident in moving forward.

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life and I’m excited to meet yours! I am very experienced with reactive and senior dogs and understand that each dog is different and has individual needs, so I’m happy to follow your instructions for care to ensure they are getting exactly what they need. I have worked with many rescues and currently work with NW Dog Project, so I’m well versed in all things dog. :) I take your trust in me seriously as I know how important our dogs are to us and I look forward to helping with their care.

It is possible I am available throughout the day if given enough notice. I will follow your lead on rules regarding walking your dog or drop-in visits- and will always respect your home and keep your dog safe and protected on walks!

About: I've cared for senior dogs as well as puppies. All are personal animals, but, I believe that's an advantage. Being familiar with animals on a personal level has made me more empathetic and gained the ability to really connect with animal's. Wonderfully! I can care for a pet multiple times a week. My current schedule is flexible and I’m happy to work with you on hours! I would prefer to care for animals in their own environment. I understand some pets feel more secure in a familiar environment. I want to provide the most enjoyable experience for the owner as well as the pet.

About: Im Lily, and I love dogs! •My speciality is large breed dogs! I have my own 100 pound Black Russian terrier, Thea who is my baby. •I am also very comfortable with watching and walking intact dogs. As I know the importance of a large breed staying intact until they are fully mature. I have experience caring for dogs in heat, and understand the behavior change that occurs in the dog experiencing it and the potential for it to effect male dogs around. • I am happy to help with potty breaks throughout the day, walks, bathes, basic training, and preparing specialty meals for your puppy! I am not a dog trainer but I am more than comfortable and capable of helping with basic training for dogs and puppies, such as, potty training, recall, on leash walking, and basic commands (sit, stay, down, etc) • I do love big dogs, but I would be ecstatic to help with your puppy or small dogs, since my dog has grown up, I don’t get to experience having a little pup/dog around. • Socialization is great for dogs but can be hard to trust when you don’t know a dogs temperament or vaccination status. If you are looking for your dog to have social activity with a well behaved, healthy dog Thea would be more than happy to join a walk or play date. I am currently a student taking online classes, so my availability is open. I am very flexible and more than happy to be on your schedule! I have a fenced yard and my own dog is extremely friendly with other animals including small dogs. Inside of my home I do not leave things laying around that could potentially harm my own dog or others. My kitchen is clean and I don’t leave food out so a dog getting into something they shouldn’t would be very hard.

“Ada was great with taking my Fran for a walk! She was prompt and communicative. Will definitely reach out again :)”

“Justine has been doing a fantastic job with my dog, Daphne. I can tell by the pictures and short interactions I've seen with them that she and Daphne built a bond very quickly which is a testament to Justine's care and experience. I look forward to our continued bookings!”

“It was raining out and Julie was kind enough to wipe Cleo's paws off after their walk. Thanks Julie!”

Jen G.

“Jacqueline has been patient and wonderful with our anxious dog, who always takes time to get used to strangers unless we are dropping him off at a doggie daycare. Greatly appreciate her calm energy with our boy and look forward to continuing to work with her.”
