“It was too wet/rainy outside to walk Gidget, but I kept the appointment time anyway. I wanted to start once a week walks for Gidget to get used to seeing Katie around before house sitting for us. Hubby said that she took the time to get to know her and vice versa. Very pleased with Katie.”
About: I have taken care of cats, dogs, and horses for as long as I remember. I also volunteered at an animal shelter for a few years. Any family pets we've had (cats, dogs, and horses) have lived all the way up to their senior years (and even passed the "intended age range" of their breed). I'm working full time from Wednesday to Saturday 10 am to 8:30 pm (sometimes upwards to an hour longer there) But I'm available Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. If it's just to walk your pet or drop in, I can come over before work. I can house sit starting Sunday, but can't stay until I have to go to work Wednesday. I absolutely love pets and will treat them like my own. I can't board or take them to my house. I'll keep them safe while in my care. I have always been an animal lover since I can remember. So their safe in my hands when I'm walking them, coming for a drop in, or house sitting. Due to my work schedule, I am available Sunday through Tuesday for walking, drop ins, and house/dog sitting. I can either spend part of my day or my whole day with your pet. I try to fit in as much time with my animals as I can. Taking my dog for a walk, groom my familys horses, and even cuddle with my cats. I can make some exceptions with house sitting and drop ins. HOUSE SITTING: I'll gladly accept! If i am in college as well, I'll bring my laptop to work on homework. DROP INS: I will come in before work (around 8 am) to feed/walk them and I can come in after work for a check up (around 9 or 10 pm). If your yard is fenced in, I will gladly sit outside with your pet. Maybe even take a book with me so your dog can stretch their legs, play for a little bit and get some fresh air for a while. I will treat your dogs and cats like their my own and give them as much care as I can along with play times.
“Derek was great with Jasper. He was able to assist us with walking him on short notice, and was very responsive and communicative. I would recommend Derek to anyone who needs their pup walked!”
About: I love dogs and cats! I do not currently own a dog or cat, but I have been volunteering at Our Companions Animal Sanctuary in Ashford, where I walk dogs every Friday morning. I am also in their Canine College program, taking and assisting in dog training classes. I enjoy using positive training techniques (treats and praise) to reinforce polite dog walking and attentive behaviors. I am comfortable walking dogs up to 70 lbs. I have recently retired, which gives me some flexibility, and I am participating in a Canine College dog training program. I love dogs, and I am looking for more opportunities to meet and spend time with dogs. I also enjoy cats and would be happy to house sit and/or walk your cat as well! My recent experiences with Our Companions Animal Sanctuary and Canine College programs are teaching me so much about being a pet guardian for different kinds of dogs. I am learning about dog body language and how to help engage dogs in enrichment, calming, and attention-game activities while in a home, in a yard, and on a walk. I have friends who own cats, and I enjoy getting to know them as well.
About: I started my pet care experience walking dogs in my neighborhood and house sitting for neighbors, friends, and family. I then started working at a doggy daycare in high school, Petsmart in college, and I currently work at another doggy daycare. I also have a German Shepherd, so I am comfortable and experienced with large dogs! I am currently home from school for the summer until August 22nd. I have a part-time job 2 or 3 times per week, but other than that I am very flexible and available! Unfortunately I will not be able to host pets in my home as I have a German Shepherd who can be territorial, but I’d love to come to you!
“Kaylee walked my dog daily while I was on vacation. She was prompt, professional and gave my dog a little extra TLC every day. She sent pictures and daily updates. I would definitely recommend Kaylee!”
“I’m very happy with the job Katelyn is doing and would definitely recommend her to anyone else. Katelyn has been sending me cute pictures from each walk and has an eye for the camera. She seems to genuinely care about the welfare of my puppy.”
About: I have three dogs of all ages in my home. One of 9, one is 3, and one is 6 months! All dogs all ages and sizes deserve all the love and attention. The trick to dog care is knowing the signs dogs give you. All dogs go at there own speed! I currently have lots of time on my hands therefore gives me a lot of time to get to know and love some fur babies! I believe all dogs are happier when active, weather that's playing fetch or a slow pace walk. Always make sure they get the play time they need and lots of treats of course!
About: Like many people, I've grown up being surrounded by pets and animals. So, what other path to take than to learn how to properly care for them? Every pet and animal deserves a special amount of attention and care based on their needs. Sometimes life becomes too busy with work or personal trips. Rather than judge you, I'm here to help you. Who says life has to stop being fun when you have responsibilities? There are ways to help yourself and I would love to be there to take one more thing off your mind. Not only am I understanding, knowledgeable, and caring, but I will ensure the absolute best for your pets as they are a part of your family. I work part-time to get myself through college, but with that, I have plenty of free time where I can look after your animals. I work online, so if you need me there for a few hours if your pet has anxiety (or just peace of mind), I can be there for a few hours. If you need me there in the early morning or late evening, I can make that happen. Besides my flexible schedule, I can primarily fit pet care into the evenings and early mornings. While Tuesdays and Thursdays are a little slim for me, I can help make it work for your pets for the right price. While I would love to care for your pets in my own home or yours, I have a lovely elderly dog who can not handle the stress of other dogs being around. However, I would be more than happy to commute to your home and look after your dog(s). All I require are the basic necessities to be provided for your dog, such as food and water supplies. If you would like me to walk your dog, then I would also require you to provide a leash and/or harness.
About: I've had animals in my life all 33 years, I love caring for dogs part time to assist others when they need a home for their dogs to relax in, or even in the comfort of their own home! I have cats, so I am VERY used to routine (otherwise I get a paw to the face!) All joking aside, I'd love to work with your animals on the weekends. I am very adaptable to your needs, and I am comfortable with animal care in any way/shape/form. I have several friends that I assist in caring for and can provide references if needed. Thank you.

My goal is to care for each pet as my own and to your standards! I currently work in a dog boarding facility 4 mornings out of the week. I have basic knowledge on dogs and how to care for them as well as what is needed for exercise for many dog breeds! I’m available most of the time and can work with any pet owner as needed! Each pet is an individual that sets them apart from other pets. The pets here at home are cared for daily with walks, lots of running, feeding and love with a bit of training and fun involved!

“Ashley is amazing with our pups! She’s so flexible and easy to work with and always stays for some extra pets with our older dog!! We’re lucky to have her!”

Lila P.
“We currently have an almost 70lb pitbull mix named Dutchess. She is a sweetheart, snuggle dog. Unfortunately, due to the bad reputation of pitbulls, if Dutchess so much as barks at someone...they automatically fear her. Being a fearful dog herself, she becomes even more defensive. If you don't trust me, why should I even trust you? Lila, however, gave Dutchess a chance. Lila took the time to get to know the true Dutchess showing her compassion, patience, and most importantly trust. I truly appreciate Lila giving Dutchess a chance, something most do not give her the luxury of. Dutchess can also pull at times but with some bribery of treats, it seems Lila is able to manage well. You can tell Lila has a love for animals, you can hear it when she talks about her pets and the other animals she cares for. I would recommend Lila to any others who are in need of someone to take care of their beloved fuzzy, or possibly non fuzzy, family members.”
