“Shelby was fantastic. She walked my dog four days in a row while I was working. My dog liked her from the moment they met and she did a great job! I will be asking her to walk my dog again soon.”

About: I have always loved every animal since I was a little girl! Growing up, my mother allowed me to keep every stray (hurt or not) I came across and because of that I have so many meaningful memories with all sorts of animals, from dogs and cats to snakes and lizards! I started a career working with dogs in 2016 at a Doggy Day care place which also provided me with light behavioral and basic training. Then, I worked as a Veterinary Assistant at an animal hospital for 3 years that provided all things animal! Daycare, Boarding, Treatment, Isolation, Surgery, Grooming, and Emergency. Finally, I was an assistant at an animal Rehabilitation Practice before I became a Stay at Home Mom 💕 Currently care for a Toddler, my other kiddos are in school and drop off is at 9am so available after that, if weather is nice I’m open to walking pups up to school for pick up. Open most weekends/days ☺️ I do have a large fenced in yard with two friendly pups aged 11 & 5, with energy to burn. Also, willing to crate if needed.
“From the first minute I spoke to Zoe, I knew that I had hired a great person to watch Flex and take him for a walk. She came over the night before and did a meet-and-greet. Flex had other ideas, but she communicated with me, which put me at ease. I highly recommend Zoe.”

About: I am an animal lover who loves all types of pets. Currently, I am a proud owner of Ranger, an Australian Shepherd and Border Collie mix. Beyond dogs, I also care for our turtle, bunny, and birds. Additionally, I provide reliable pet-sitting services for friends & family during their vacations. With genuine passion and a strong commitment, I offer dedicated care, ensuring the well-being of furry friends. Trust me to provide the highest standard of care and affection for your beloved pets. I currently work full time around 30 hours a week so i’m only available really on weekends. I can also do late afternoon visits or walks during the week but would need some notice to make that work. As a pet owner, I understand the unique needs and personalities of dogs. Whether they're energetic or relaxed, I adapt to their individual preferences. Your wants and your pet's needs are my top priority, and I take your concerns and questions seriously. Being a pet owner myself, I empathize with the challenge of trusting someone new with your beloved pets. Rest assured, I will care for them with the same love and attention I give to my own.
About: Hi! I’ve had dogs my whole life and currently have three of my own, so I’m very used to different personalities and energy levels. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and just making sure dogs feel safe and cared for. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’d treat your dog the same way I treat mine. My schedule is very flexible right now, so I’m available most days for walks, drop ins, or daycare. I’m happy to work with all different schedules. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely run and play. I also have a crate available if a dog is crate trained or if an owner prefers their dog to rest in one. I also like to send photo and message updates so owners know how their dog is doing and can feel comfortable while they’re away.
About: Caring for animals isn’t just something I do… it’s something I am. As a lifelong animal lover and experienced caregiver, I treat every pet like they’re part of my own little family. Whether it’s playful puppies, wise senior pets, or shy kitties who need a gentle approach, I meet them exactly where they are with patience, love, and understanding. I have hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels, and I’m completely comfortable with both high-energy pups and slower-paced seniors who just want cuddles and calm companionship. Safety, trust, and a peaceful environment are always my top priorities. You can expect: • 🐾 Reliable, attentive care you can count on • 🐾 Lots of love, playtime, and affection • 🐾 Regular updates, photos, and peace of mind • 🐾 A calm, patient approach for nervous or shy pets I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet — they’re family. My goal is to make sure you feel completely comfortable while your pet feels safe, happy, and loved every moment you’re away. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet like their own… I’m your girl 💖 Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s built into my everyday life. I naturally structure my days around giving pets the attention, love, and activity they need. My flexible schedule allows me to plan walks, playtime, feedings, and cuddles so that each pet feels like part of my family while they’re with me. Whether it’s early morning walks, mid-day check-ins, or evening snuggles, I enjoy weaving pet care into my daily rhythm. I find joy in the little moments—throwing a ball in the yard, keeping water bowls fresh, or making sure a cat has their favorite sunny spot to nap. Taking care of pets adds happiness and purpose to my day, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I make sure every walk, play session, and cuddle is done with care, attention, and patience. I pay close attention to details like secure leashes, safe play areas, fresh water, and keeping routines consistent so your pet feels happy and stress-free. I treat every dog and cat as if they were my own—building trust through kindness, consistency, and respect for their individual needs. Whether they’re a playful puppy, a curious kitten, or a senior who just wants calm companionship, I provide a safe, loving environment where they feel at home.
About: I’ve grown up with and spent many years living with pets of all kinds! I love animals and have done many overnight sits, walks and feedings for the pets of friends and family. I work part time and have an extremely flexible schedule. I do not have any children and I do have my own vehicle so it’s easy for me to schedule pet care on almost any day. I can feed, water, walk, crate and care for your animals based around whatever your normal day-to-day care system would be. I’m very adaptable and believe in keeping your pet’s normal schedule as much as possible.

Taylor walks our dog in a regular basis. Our schedule is now different every week and we always appreciate her flexibility when and if we need to make changes. She is reliable and great with communication. She replies to all of our requests to book promptly. As we move into cold weather she asks about how to handle walking with our almost 10 year old dog, especially on bitter or icy days. We are very thankful!!
