“I love how David sends me updates and pictures of our puppy Saba. We e had him twice and will have already booked him for two more times. Saba always looks happy and when we get him all is well. Glad I found him on here since I travel to the area often with Saba to visit my husband.”


“Ashley was amazing with our two cats. She’d always let me know when she was on the way over to our house and gave me an update on how the cats were. We'll definitely have her over again when we go out of town.”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 6 and I’m great with all sizes, breeds and ages as I’ve helped multiple dogs give birth and I’ve also taken care of geriatric dogs. I have volunteered at Our Farm Sanctuary and I foster for The Rescue Haven My life has always been surrounded by dogs, I love my animals more than anything. The first thing I do when I wake up is take care of the dogs, take them on a walk and then give them their breakfast and enrichment bowls/mats. I base my daily routine off my pets! I have fenced in yard and three fixed golden retrievers that are sweethearts. If you use a crate, I do ask that you provide that as I only have 2 of my own and they are occupied by my two youngest dogs. I have to crate Tucker and Dixie because they will eat anything when they’re bored, INCLUDING a wall 🤣 the crate will be cleaned and sanitized before pickup. I also ask that you provide your own food, that way there’s no upset bellies! I have plenty of natural treats if you’re okay with your dog having them

“Miranda took great care of my cat Mia. She made sure she was stocked with food and water and provided some much-needed attention while we were away.”


“Reliable as always!”


About: I have personal experience walking my dog many years. I sometimes go to dog parks for social activity. I would love to make extra income to walk dogs for a living. Thank u for choosing me. I am excited to join the team to be a dogwalker. As long as the weather is permitted, l can walk your dog everyday. I own a pomsky will be a year old in July. I am hoping she can walk with us. This would absolutely complete my dream job. Thank you for hiring me. I am a true animal lover. Excited to do pleasure with you! Dogs and walking are great mixture by the way for the benefits of well being, therapeutic you might say ☺ Hope to hear from u soon. I am currently job free looking for work , having an extra job as a pet care helper would be a dream job for me. Being around animals are very therapeutic for me. Animals are so much better than trying to work with society the way people are these days. I would care for the pets by giving them walks, and show them plenty of attention by playing with them like tug of rope, or playing fetch, also petting them to their fullest:)

“Karen is absolutely amazing! She is dependable, reliable, and went above and beyond what was expected of her! She took care of my babies for 10 days, sent tons of pictures to me and gave personalized feedback after each visit!”


“Natalie was amazing!!”


“I am McKenna's mom and I want you to know what a loving, loyal, dedicated pet owner McKenna is. We currently have a Golden Retriever that we rescued 3 years ago and he is probably 14 to 15 years old. McKenna is my go to girl! She takes Sunny to get groomed and if we can't get him in to the groomer, she takes him to the pet wash. She will take him to his vet appointments if I am not able to get off of work in time. She takes him for rides to get him out of the house because he is not able to take walks because of laryngeal paralysis. She is always buying him treats and spoiling him. McKenna also puppy sits for her sister's new golden retriever whom she adores and spoils. She dog sits for her brother and sister in-laws to Treeing Walker Coon Hounds who are a handful but McKenna has a special touch with them and they love her. She regularly dog sits for some friends who have 2 Labrador Retrievers and has watched another friends chihuahua and will be taking care of 2 mini Australian Shepherds later this year for 2 weeks. My parents have an 8 year old Pitbull that loves her and she loves him. This list of dogs that McKenna is actively involved with shows that she can take care of any breed and loves them all. McKenna has always had a way with dogs and is able to get them to pose for some really nice pictures, she is not a professional photographer but has a way with them to get some pretty cute pictures.”

About: We’ve had dogs of all sizes in our home since I can remember. And I’ve raised a few of my own along with 2 cats I am available all week. I can check in on your pets and let them out and feed them according to your routine. I will also walk your pets. I can also board and host daily care of multiple pets. You can leave me any detailed instructions on how you’d like your pet cared for. I’ll come in and take them out into the yard to do their business, or change their pads/clean up cat litter and clean any messes they may have left. If they need to be fed I’ll give them food and water also according to your instructions. And if they need to be walked around the neighborhood or park I can do that also. When they are in my home you can bring toys, beds, or Blankets that they feel more comfortable in, but I can provide that as well. You may bring your own food that does well for their diet.

About: I’ve done pet sitting on and off since I was 13! I taken care of dogs with special medical needs and pet/house sat for as long as 3 weeks. I am a college student so my schedule varies between Mondays/Wednesdays/Friday and Tuesdays/ Thursdays. After that I am available at anytime! I have usually done pet walking during the day or in the morning. I am not busy, I am just a student working around my class schedule! As a previous nanny, pet sitter and house sitter I am comfortable with the trust and responsibility placed on me to care for what families value most! I treat everyone’s pet as if it were my own, with the utmost care and consideration.

About: I have taken care of animals of all kinds, from dogs and cats to pigs and cows. I love any and all animals. my husband is getting tired of me asking for more animals so we compromised on me getting to love your babies as if they’re my own! All of my dogs I’ve had since they were 8 weeks old, so i’m very comfortable with puppies, potty training & basic command training. I’m a stay at home mama so I have plenty of time to spend with your babies. We love to spend time outside playing and enjoying nature! I have just about an acre for pups to run, but it is not fenced. I do have a PetSafe invisible fence if you’re comfortable with using it. (No shock, tone and vibration only) I can always take them on leashes outside if need be. Otherwise they’re free to run and explore. I also live on a dead end street so there is not much traffic at all! If any animals should happen to not get along I do have the ability to keep them separate!
