About: I’ve always loved animals and enjoy making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m a veterinary assistant graduate and gained hands-on experience during my internship at an animal shelter, caring for both dogs and cats. I’m patient, gentle, dependable, and comfortable working with different personalities and energy levels. I understand that every pet has their own routine and needs, and I’m happy to give them plenty of attention, exercise, and love while their family is away. I have an open and flexible schedule, so I’m able to work around your pet’s routine and needs. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always important to me. I’m gentle, attentive, and respectful of your home, and I follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routine.

About: I have been taking care of animals ever since I can remember. I have always wanted to be a vet and will do the best I can for any furbaby that comes my way. Always making sure I do the best for my pets so they can live their life to the fullest. I would do anything for my pets to make sure they are happy and healthy. I know a lot about all animals I love learning new things about them if I have not already. I personally trained my families pets and the all love they way the are and how they behave. I'm still learning to become a vet so one day I can save all the furbabies I possibly can as a vet. I'm currently working only in the early mornings, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! Also take them on walks and even just hang out and relax with them. I have a fenced in backyard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. Also I will send you updates as needed or wanted.

About: As someone who has owned pets, I have years of experience in caring for cats, dogs, lizards, bunnies and more! When I could not locate a proper groomer for my shihtzu, I learned how cut my dog’s hair and clip his nails. When I owned cats, I did extensive research on diet to ensure they had all the nutrition they needed. I’m still fairly new to owning bunnies but I have learned a lot from vet visits and testimonials from other bun parents! I work two other jobs but I make my own schedule so I can fit late afternoon and nightly check ins, baths, walks, overnight sitting, and errands into my day if that’s what you’d like. I would love to spend as much time as I can making sure that your pet is well loved and taken care of. I don’t want to break an animal’s routine so if you have your pet on a schedule/routine, diet, or regiment of some sort, I plan to stick to that.

About: I’ve volunteered at the shelters for several years. I participated in their cruising canines program that had me take a shelter pup out weekly for a few hours to burn energy. This includes going for walks, swimming, going to get a puppacino or just cruising in the car and wind surfing! I’ve taken all dog sizes and am physically fit enough to take on larger dogs. I’ve had animals of my own since I was 7 years old. This included ducks, pigs, dogs, cats and geese! I currently have 3 dogs of my own. I love any chance to meet new animals! I live a very active lifestyle and fitness is a huge part of my daily routine. I have 4 dogs of my own and understand how a pet is more than just a pet, they are a family member! I work from home as a seamstress, which allows for my schedule to be very flexible. Last minute bookings to planned bookings work for me! All of my dogs are inside dogs. They are treated with the same care as humans, if not more. Comfort is top priority for my animals and I understand every pet will require something different. No 2 animals are the same and volunteering at the shelter has helped me learn that quickly! I feel I am very good at a reading the situation and would never do anything to make an animal feel uncomfortable.

“Haley was amazing with Sirius. I had a work emergency out of state and needed someone to walk Sirius during the day while the husband is at work. Luckily, Haley agreed to walk Sirius. She gave him care and attention when I was far away and sent photos during the walks. Would highly recommend Haley and definitely will book her again. Thanks so much for taking care of our pup.”

About: My passion for animals started when I was young. I begged for a puppy at the age ten until I got one. My first pet was a teacup chihuahua, named Teacup, and I absolutely adored her. Twelve years later, I owned a Husky mix, named Smokey. Which provided me with experience handling small and large dogs. I also have experience working at Saint Louis Zoo is Missouri. It started off as an internship, then the next year I worked as a part-time zoo keeper for a year. I also have experience volunteering at SPCA through highschool. For colloge I attended Harris-Stowe State University, and majored in Biology. I completed 100 credits. If your interested in my services please feel free to contact me; I am looking forward to meeting you and your fur baby My availability is currently open. I do not have any other duties throughout the day, which means I can give your pet my full attention! Your pet will never be left alone and unsupervised. I treat the pets as if I have a friend over. They will never get bored with me because I am super playful. If they’re not the playful type, then I love cuddles as well. I also love walking and going for a jog, so we would spend a lot of time outside, if the pet wants. I understand all pets have different behaviors and personalities, so I make sure I know about the dog before the booking.

About: I’m 20 years old with a career path of becoming a veterinarian. I have lots of experience with dogs, as I have two of my own, and I’m a really big animal person. I typically watch over friends’ and family’s dogs, which I have a blast doing. I like going to dog parks and going on runs, as I’m a very active person. I have experience with drop-ins, making sure they are fed, played with, and well taken care of. I also have experience With overnight stays! I’m a very flexible and spontaneous person! My schedule is three things: school, part-time work, and the gym. Making time to care for, feed, walk, and play with animals is no problem. As for taking dogs on walks, that would fit naturally into my routine. On my days off, I would have extra time to give the pet more attention and care. Pet care is something I generally enjoy and something I would look forward to doing as well, since it is the career path I’m pursuing. :) care for pets by making sure they have fresh water and are fed the appropriate amount of food, depending on how much the owner usually feeds them. I’ll follow the pet’s daily routine as closely as possible. I’ll make time to take them with me on runs for exercise, provide plenty of playtime, and give them bathroom breaks whenever needed. Respecting my client’s home and space is very important, as is making sure I treat their pet the same way I treat my own dogs!

My neighbors, friends, and family members have relied on my service over the years. I am currently unemployed so I can focus on my time on your beloved pet any day of the week. I don't need very much notice to take care of your pet. I try to maintain the same environment that your pets are used to. I will stay on the same meal time schedule that they are normally on. Same with potty breaks and walks.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Venola. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
