About: I grew up with so many animals and was taking care of them as soon as I could walk! We had at least 3 dogs at a time, a cat, etc. I love to take my dogs on long walks! I’m currently working at a restaurant during the weekday nights but available daytime and mornings! My family moved away and took the animals so I’m wanting that animal love back in my life! I just make sure they’re being taken care of and getting lots of exercise and pets! Pet affection is the best type of love and I miss it!

About: I have always loved animals and enjoy spending time caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and happy while their owners are away. I have over 10 years of experience in dog walking/sitting. I am dependable, patient, and attentive to details. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk, playtime, companionship, or a calm and gentle approach, I will provide care tailored to their needs. I am comfortable following feeding schedules, administering basic medications, and maintaining routines to help pets feel at ease. What sets me apart is my commitment to treating every pet like my own. I prioritize safety, communication, and reliability, and I will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. My goal is to build trust with both pets and their owners while providing loving, dependable care. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, and I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable, attentive care. I enjoy spending time with animals and can accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feeding schedules, playtime, and companionship throughout the week. I make it a priority to be punctual and consistent so pets can maintain their normal routines and feel comfortable while their owners are away. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in, a long walk, or extra attention and care, I am committed to making sure they receive the time and care they deserve. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. In a client's home, I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication needs, and any special preferences. I make sure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, and plenty of attention and affection while maintaining the routine they are familiar with. I take time to get to know each pet's personality and comfort level so they feel safe and secure in my care. During walks and visits, I stay attentive to my surroundings, keep pets safely leashed when required, and monitor their well-being at all times. I also believe in keeping pet owners informed. I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy, comfortable, and receiving the care they deserve while you're away.

“Angela was punctual, patient, kind to my dog, took a ton of pictures, and helped me with Rover booking issues. I will request her services again, for sure.”

About: I've had dogs since I was 11 and I have my own puppy who I am owner-training. I can walk, bathe, do minimal training, or dog sit for you. I will work with you to be flexible around your dog's routine and my schedule. Let me know in advance what you need so I can work with you. I treat dogs like family. I understand how much our pets mean to us. I also have experience with ESAs and Service Dogs. I know how important your dog is to you and I will treat them like my own.

About: I have always had dogs as companions. My dogs have always been part of the family attending family gatherings, hikes and vacations. I am an outdoors person so the weather never keeps us indoors. I believe dogs need a lot of mental stimulation and fun toys to play with. A comfy bed is important and their own space to chill. Our family loves dogs and we have an active household. We lost our lab recently so everyone loves to give hugs to any dog that comes around! I am an approved Labrador foster mom with lab rescue. Excited to give your dog some love and attention while you are away. Want you to feel confident that your pet is getting the best care when you can’t be there!

About: Have only had 9 months total of my life without a dog or a pack of them by my side. Your fur baby will be fostered as one of my own; their walk, run, or potty break is all about them! With guidance from you, we will move at their pace. If they want to go for a run... then we run! If they prefer to walk tree to tree and smell every flower, that's fine too! I am available early mornings and mid-days during the week. I also have availability nightly to check on the pups and make sure they're ready for bed. I look forward to meeting the needs of your family, if it be walking or running the dogs, or making sure they are comfortable in your home, just let me know. I am fortunate enough to have a remote role, so my schedule is usually set to my own dog's needs. I am by no means a gym rat or a marathon runner. Yet that doesn't stop me from getting in usually 2-6 miles a day, both walking and running. While my dog is crate trained, it would be great if yours is as well, for those few errands that may take me away for up to 4 hours at a time (a busy week would be 3 half days in the office)

“We appreciate Logan’s excellent care of our babies! Thankful for tender loving care ~London has made a new friend in you and will welcome you back again hopefully this July once we get our travel dates set. We will be hiring Logan for Dog and cats this time.”

“Nic and his wife Carmen were great on their walk with Scuba. He’s a young and mouthy puppy and tries to eat everything during walks. They handled him with care and he seems to have enjoyed his walk. I’d recommend them!”

“Shannon took care of my shy dog and helped her enjoy her time away from me. Shannon was easy to work with, and she communicated often. She even helped my Nextdoor neighbor in an emergency. I found Shannon to be reliable, kind, and responsive. I recommend Shannon and look forward to other opportunities to work together.”

“Kally has been so great with Aurie! She keeps her word, and takes such great care of her. We have been very happy with her services and will definitely use her again.”

About: My name is Ella! I’ve had pets my entire life and I’ve started caring for others in addition to my own. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I have experience caring for dogs with special needs, and of all different sizes and breeds. I’m not currently working, so my full time job would be caring for your pet! Until late August, I have a very flexible schedule and am available most days. I care for my own cats and dog daily, and I always make time for walks, play, and cuddles! In a client’s home, I will follow your routine, respect house rules, and make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I have a fenced yard for safe outdoor time, and I live by the W & OD Trail, so walks and outdoor time are a daily part of my routine!

About: I love all animals! I myself have a 13-year-old golden lab and a 10-year old cat! I do not have training experience as I adopted my dog when she was fully grown but I do have quite a bit of patience! I’m currently 21 and I’ve been watching pets for family & friends since I was 16! I have experience with dogs of all sizes, i grew up with dachshunds! I’m excited to meet your pets and love them like my own! I’m currently home visiting family for the summer and love animals so I decided this would make an amazing summer job! I’m available Monday - Thursday 10AM-10PM! I do reserve weekends for time with family but might be able to make exceptions based on plans! as an owner myself of both a cat and dog I am very cautious and observant! If you have a yard I’m always sure to check that the gate is closed, doors to the outside are never left open, and on walks I make sure to always keep a tight grip on the leash! any questions or concerns I have I’m quick to text or call the owner and ask questions, it’s always better safe than sorry! any specific instructions I’m given I’m sure to follow completly!

About: Ever since I was born my family has had 2-3 dogs in the home. Have had a golden retriever every type of lab and a corgi. Also dog sit my sisters pitbull. Every weekday I’m free until 5-6. Just graduated with a masters degree in accounting and waiting to start work in public accounting in the fall. I love taking dogs for walks as I know the smells are very important for them. I enjoy playing with them as well they deserve all the love.

About: You're going on vacation, why can't your beloved fur baby have a vacation too??? Look no further . . . I started caring for dogs because I'm big on making sure the dog is comfortable in their own surroundings. I am a substitute teacher for LCPS and mom of 2 daughters and 3 dogs. My husband and I have always had dogs growing up and we love having extra furry friends come visit. When needed, I care for my friends 2 medium dogs in her home. When caring for other families fur babies, I enjoy walking, playing and of course snuggle time with them. While I care for your fur baby, I treat them like they are my own. Being that I am a substitute teacher, I am home a majority of the time during the summer. I do get the same holidays off as the students. So if you are looking for a short getaway, that works too. I treat every pet like they are my home. Daily walks (especially if there is no fenced yard).I am not comfortable with having dogs off leash unless in a fenced area. If a pet makes a mess in the house, I make sure it's cleaned up. I always pu dog waste when the dog goes outside.

“Kaitlyn really helped me out when I went on a last minute vacation. My dad was home but couldn't take him on a long walk. She allowed me to visit the beach for the first time in 10 years. Love her”

About: I have two fur babies that I love and care for very much! My husband and I are constantly on the go walking, running and playing with our 4 year old lab but also enjoy relaxing and snuggling up with our 6 year old cat. I grew up with dogs and cats in the family and have helped care for many friends' pets while they were away. I know how stressful it is to leave your animal in the care of another person so I promise to provide a safe and loving environment for your animal at all times. Please feel free to message me if you have any other questions or concerns! Looking forward to getting to know you and your furry babies! I’m currently a stay at home mom to my 2 year old daughter so I would be available for drop in services throughout the week and on weekends! I have a fully fenced in back yard and our dog is fully crate trained so I’m comfortable crating a dog if necessary. I’m comfortable using harnesses and retractable leashes when walking as my dog has used them.
