About: Ive been a professional dog walker for 7 years in my neighborhood. Everywhere I go they ask where are the dogs?? Ive had many satisfied clients. I have slots for more dogs daily. Small dogs are my preference since I have in a small area for them to play in. Overnights are fine too. I have a main play room in my space for smaller dogs. Large dogs may need an overnight pen to rest in overnight for dogs over 30 pounds.

About: I'm Steven, a former science teacher who turned a lifelong love of animals into full-time pet care. I've cared for my own dogs for years (John, a Yorkie, and Lucy, my senior Chihuahua) and have looked after friends' and neighbors' dogs, cats, and small pets for as long as I can remember. I'm Fear Free Certified and Red Cross Pet First Aid & CPR certified, and I'm fully insured and bonded. Teaching taught me patience, routine, and how to read what someone needs when they can't say it in words, which is exactly what good pet care takes. Every booking is handled personally by me, so you'll always know who's showing up at your door. I do this full-time, so your pet is a priority, not a side gig. For house sitting I keep your pet on their normal routine, same feeding times, walks, and bedtime, and I send photo and text updates throughout so you can relax while you're away. I follow feeding and medication instructions exactly (I give my own senior dog his meds on a strict schedule, so I take it seriously). Every booking starts with a free meet & greet so your pet and I are comfortable before anything is confirmed. Since I come to you, your pet stays in their own home, familiar surroundings, their own bed and yard, which keeps them calmest, especially seniors and anxious pets. I treat your home with respect: doors locked, mail brought in, plants watered if you'd like, everything left as I found it. I have two dogs of my own, John, a Yorkie, and Lucy, a senior Chihuahua, so I'm comfortable with everything from high-energy pups to gentle senior care.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for Samoyeds, Alaskan Malamutes, and Corgis, so I’m comfortable with both large and small breeds and their very different needs. High-energy dogs like Samoyeds and Malamutes need plenty of exercise and attention, while Corgis are smart, curious, and sometimes a little stubborn, which requires patience and consistency. I always tailor walks, playtime, and routines to each dog’s size, personality, and energy level to keep them happy and safe. I have dogs so I’m free for all the time if you need me to. I’ll be very careful and on time to take care of your pets. I always prioritize safety and comfort when caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s home. I follow each pet’s routine closely, keep their environment clean and secure, and pay attention to behavior, appetite, and mood. I make sure doors, leashes, and feeding instructions are handled carefully, and I treat every pet with patience, respect, and genuine care.
