Personalized care for your dog or cat - Hayward

“I would highly recommend Harley if you need a dog sitter! She was responsive to our requests as to how our Stella was doing while we were out of town. And Stella was well taken care of. Thank you Harley!!!”

About: Hello! I'll get right to it, I'm a dog trainer specializing in building members of the family. I am also a CGC Evaluator (Canine Good Citizen), so if you're looking for someone to help you throughout that process or if you're confident in your doggo and are ready to test, I'm your guy! I'm also a member as well as a Tester and Observer for The Alliance of Therapy Dogs. So if you end up getting an itch to volunteer, I will be able to certify and guide your team along the way! Assuming you pass our test that is 😉 Now as a travelling trainer I sometimes take on a few extra gigs like this to make ends meet. My personal dog Buddha is a service dog who has passed the PAT (Public Access Test). He is also a registered Therapy Dog through: The Alliance of Therapy Dogs. We are insured through the: Business Insurers of the Carolinas. He has the following titles: DN (Dock Diving Novice), FDG (Fit Dog Gold and below), TKP (Trick Canine Performer and below), VHM (Virtual Home Manners), CGC (Canine Good Citizen), CGCA (Canine Good Citizen Advanced), CGCU (Canine Good Citizen Urban), THDN (Therapy Dog) and THD (Therapy Dog). Buddha is now almost 5 yrs old. I also offer a stud service with Buddha if anyone is interested we can talk details through text, call, email, or Meet and. Greet style. What I'm saying is that if you'd like we could talk about my services as a trainer as well and I could show you and your little buddy some fun things to do, or perhaps help on something that has been a struggle. Whether it's a new obstacle or an older persistent one, we can overcome it. I free lance as a Pet Trainer and Respite Care Provider. We also work odd jobs for people in town so our schedule is always workable. I’ll have my daughter (almost driving age) with me on a 50/50 schedule as well as I have a service dog for myself. We can talk about this more should we get to that point! Depending on your comfort level, I’ll sometimes work with my girlfriend (also a sitter on Rover) to help complete gigs as well. She will occasionally have her two boys (16 & 14) with her as well. I understand this can be “a lot” so we’d all be more than willing to meet up beforehand to make sure everything would jive and fit together! How ever you instruct. Otherwise we feed, walk, play, and rest at specific times. Pets need and do well with structure. Putting together a good positive routine sets our fluffy buddies up for success.

“If I could give Harley 10 stars I would!!! She did an absolutely amazing job taking care of our boys Jax and Saffron! This is the first time she has "kitty-sat" for us and we were a bit nervous to see how it would go. After our meet and greet before we went out of town, and our first visit text and photo update from Harley we knew the Boys were in good capable and loving hands! We were worried Saffron, (who is a sensitive and gentle soul) would be stressed, and we had no idea how Jax the kitten would be! Turns out we were worried for nothing! Both kitties were happy and cuddled and played with Harley at every visit! I think she is an "animal whisperer", and sensitive to the needs of any pet she meets. She is SO GOOD at what she does! I highly recommend seeking her out to take care of any pet you have! THANK YOU HARLEY!”

About: I've cared for Young rambunctious kitties as well as elderly cats. All of the animals are deserving of love and respect in my book!

“Breanna was great with our puppy!”

“Alec and Buddha did a great job taking care of our babies while we were gone. I felt completely comfortable having them at the house alone knowing he was going to be there twice a day to play with them and feed them. I never had to worry that they were in good hands. Alec was reliable and went above and beyond to even report on packages being delivered, etc. I will definitely use him again!”

About: Have much patience as I helped raise litters of puppies from 17 on, experience with IVDD (intervertebral disk disease) paralyzed, expressing bladders, dog grooming assistant for 2 yrs, cancer/kidney failure, comfort cares, giving meds, behavior/aggression issues and more :) Currently work another part time flexible job. I am a hard worker and learn things quickly. Pets have always been my passion to be around :) I always feed my pets before myself and they go out to use restroom the same most times. Safety is my top priority! Respect their space and property always.

“With only one day notice, Harley was able to watch our 2 dogs for us while we went to a family event out of town, plus accommodated us by allowing an early morning drop off! She and her own fur babies ( both large dogs that she told us looked intimidating, but were friendly ) greeted us and she was very welcoming and calm as her dogs and ours met for the first time! Fenced in yard was nice for our peace of mind. That evening our dogs were happy and tired out after a day of playing! Thanks Harley!”

“I highly recommend Harley! I started using her services in Jan of 2026 to let my senior Boxer out once a week and have had great service ever since. My dog, Oscar, loves when she comes over for a walk and snuggles. Harley spends 30 minutes with him to break up a long work day. It's nice to know I can text her when needed and she's able to accomodate my needs. Thanks Harley!!!”

About: I've cared for pets at a boarding facility and have even assisted with grooming and walking at a shelter for some time. It's a pleasure to provide the best care for my clients beloved pets! I have full availability weekdays and weekends! I have lots of time for walks, care and playtime. I also will be available to take dogs to the nearby dog park upon request. I have decent sized front & backyard. I have 4 friendly cats. I also have an older female dog who is spayed and well behaved. She can be kept separated from other pets, but is not typically aggressive toward cats or other dogs.

About: I have taken care of animals since I was little. I have been taught from a young age the best and most effective way to take care of your pet. I know each furry friend has an owner that loves them very much and so I always treat each pet as if they were my own. I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time to play and interact with your pet. Pets need love and attention and that is very important to me. I have a fenced in yard and I make sure each dog is properly cared for and has the play and toys they need to be super happy.
