About: I’ve watched animals for family, friends, neighbors, and strangers for many years. I have a very flexible schedule due to being an Graduate student. I have taken care of all kinds of dogs and cats, and I promise to take care of them like they’re my own! I am a full-time student, but my schedules allows for open mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I can take up to a 1 hour walk each visit, and visit your home up to 3 times a day. I will take care of your fur baby like it’s my own. I am very responsible, compassionate, reliable, and I know exactly how to handle doggy situations if they ever arise!

About: With over a decade of pet care under my belt, I have experience in doggy daycare, pet boarding, dog walking, and in-home pet sitting. I’ve personally owned dogs, cats and reptiles my whole life. Starting as a young teen, I cared for neighbors dogs and cats for up to three months at a time when they were away. In highschool, I worked at a doggy daycare and pet boarding center, gaining experience caring for a large number of animals with a variety of temperaments and needs. I administered medications such as pills and eye ointment, and cared for dogs ranging from puppies to seniors. In addition to dogs, I cared for cats, birds and small mammals. Throughout college, I walked dogs and did in-home pet sitting. My many experiences makes me very comfortable handling a wide variety of pets, from dogs with special needs to spicy cats and more. I am dedicated to giving families peace of mind that their furry friends are well cared for when they are away. I am available early mornings (5-7:30 am), during my lunch break, (11-1 pm) and in the evenings (after 5 pm) and I have open weekend availability. My job is flexible with what time I arrive and leave. Taking care of your home while you’re away is equally as important to me as caring for your pets. I will insure that your home is always in the same condition as you left, whether that means cleaning up bathroom accidents or keeping a tidy litter box. Additionally, with any client where I’m entering their home, I will always check for signs of suspicious activity such as broken windows or open doors. Keeping your fur baby safe means making sure your home is safe.

About: I have had pets since I was five. I have had three dogs, two cats, and even a rabbit. I've dealt with all sizes and attitudes, and I'm used to any rowdy animal and their different shedules. I have no job as of right now. I don't have classes on the weekend nor Tuesdays and Thursday for the 2025 year. I'm usually available anytime during those days. For my own home, the backyard is fenced in so the dog can run. A leash is always on hand, and so are doggy-bags at my house.

About: I can walk, feed, bathe, and play with dogs. I have taught my dogs how to sit. I love animals and taking care of them. I will give them the best care possible! I’m currently working part-time so my hours are very open. I’m a student here at USD staying over the summer. My dogs live in Arkansas with my parents and I miss them a lot. A few minutes with your animals will bring me happiness! I live in an apartment with no other animals but my lease doesn’t allow animals. I can easily go to your house and pet sit/walk. I have a leash and treats as well!

About: I have been around dogs my whole life and have always been hands-on with their care. Feeding, walking, playing with, and being around dogs feels natural and is super enjoyable for me! I am patient and attentive, and enjoy making sure each dog feels loved while their owner is away. I am currently a student-athlete at USD. I will be able to fit pet care into my days between class and training. I often have open times in the morning, mid-day, and evening that would be the perfect time to show your pets some love! Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I will make sure your pet is supervised, secure, and cared for according to their specific needs and routines. I am attentive to each dog's feeding routine, leash rules, and home guidelines. I will make sure your dog is comfortable and relaxed while under my care.

About: I have had dogs since I was 4 years old. I have taken care of dogs for friends and family since I was 10 years old. My love for dogs is constantly growing and I would love to get to know yours! I am a full time student and athlete at USD. I have time off in the morning, afternoons, and am available most nights for drop ins! My weekends may be busy but I can usually work something out! I have a large fenced in yard. I have two of the most calm dogs in the world. Baker is a very large Great Pyrenees, but is very lazy and does great around small dogs. I also have a Bernese Mountain Dog named Finn and he is as sweet as they come. They love playing with each other and everyone else!

About: I have loved and taken care of dogs since before I can remember. I own a 1 year old German shepherd. So I am well versed on the puppy phase struggles as well as the teenager phase. I love dogs probably more than people and will be a great sitter for your dogs. I am currently a senior at the University of Dakota. Being a senior I have a more relaxed schedule as I have only a few classes left to take. This means I have time to fill and why not spend it doing something I would enjoy. I also want to make a little extra money. In the recent year, I have started working for a dog trainer on the weekends and have learned a lot. I am confident to say I know dog behavior and how dogs work. I love playing with dogs and have many toys of my own I could bring to play with your dogs. I will feed/water and take your dogs for walks. Anything you might ask of me to do for your dog I will do. I will not be doing in my own home Dover night dog services as I have roommates who would not approve.

About: I have taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 7. I use to care for the dog that I ended up adopting. I can provide walks, food, baths, lots of cuddles, attention, and awareness of situations. I am very watchful. I work full time however, my house is less than a minute walk from my place of work so I can easily check-in as much as needed. I currently have a dog who I adopted and is just the sweetest thing. I have a medium-sized dog who likes most people and dogs. I can care for your pet in your home or my own. My dog is very capable of being by herself if she needs to be. I also am good at giving dogs long walks, providing attentive care, and plenty of exercise. I do not have a yard but I will right across from a huge open space that your dog will love to play in.

Daniel was great! My cat is less than friendly to strangers, but he did an amazing job of convincing her to give him a chance. He also provided regular pictures and updates on how she was doing and seemed invested in her well-being while I was out of town. If you have an anxious cat, he is the one to hire.
