About: Hi there, I’m Ellie! Being around dogs and taking care of them has always been a big part of my life. Growing up my family has always had dogs, and through the years I have continued to love and care for my family's, friend's, and roommate's dogs all varying breeds, rescues, sizes, and ages. I have experience working with dogs with lots of energy, naughty pups, and easy going pups. I love taking dogs on walks, giving feedings, and giving lots of belly rubs! I currently work full-time fully remote Monday through Friday 9am - 5pm. With advanced notice, I am available most mornings before 9am, lunch time 11am-1pm, & evenings after 5pm. Weekends I am available upon request. I am very flexible, communicative, and detail oriented when it comes to taking care of others beloved fur babies. Every pet and home I watch I treat it as if it were my own. Therefore, I keep a close eye on all activity, clean up after the pet(s) and myself, and lastly I provide several updates and pictures throughout each booking, so that owners can have peace of mind while they are away. Before each booking, I prefer to have a meet and greet to ensure I am a good fit to care for your pet. During our meeting and/or initial phone call, I take detailed notes to ensure that I provide top quality of care to each pet’s own unique needs and schedules. Also during this time it provides an opportunity to discuss all logistics and go over any questions you may have. Rest assured, your beloved furry family member will be in safe and fun care with me! Thank you for taking the time to visit my profile and learn more about me. I hope to hear from you soon!

“Great! Responsible, trusting and loves my puppy!”

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was in my teens. I watched the neighbors dog with my sister when they were on vacation growing up. My sister had a Pomeranian dog breed throughout high school into college. Have experience watching Shih Tzu's, Chihuahua's, St Bernard, and Black Labs. I have experience watching a mixed husky (breed) and have known the dog since 2014. I most recently watched Renly while they were on a camping trip during the summer of 2023. This dog lives with epilepsy and special care was provided twice a day! I have experience with little and large breeds and enjoy animals and getting outside for a walk after work! I am working full time during the weekdays, available during the weekday evenings and weekends to be at home providing pet care. I can take for walks after work for exercise. I can crate your dog as needed or kennel when I am not at home. I pay close attention to the dogs when outside to ensure they are safely in the yard. I have experience with electric fences and houses that do not have the electric fence.

“We love having Katie and her daughter take care of our little fur baby! They’re truly our first choice whenever we need a dog sitter, highly recommend!”

“Amy is always very responsive and quick to accommodate my requests. We’ve been utilizing her very frequently for about a month now. She sends updates and pictures every time she stops by to check on my puppy. I truly don’t know what I’d do without her!”

“Regina is a wonderful dog walker! We had a last-minute issue while I was recovering from foot surgery and needed someone to walk our little Coco for a few days. Thankfully, Regina was available to step in, and she has been fabulous! She is terrific with Coco, and I'm sure she is Coco's new best friend.”

About: I have worked with dogs and cats doing on 6 years now, and have had the opportunity to be around a ton of personalities and care for many different energy levels. In this, I also have experience crate, house, and yard training! Though I’m currently at college, I have quite a few breaks during the day in which I could check in on any pets and make sure they are happy, heathy, fed, and don’t need to use the restroom. I have all nights and most weekends free, and have flexible hours during most of the week. While it certainly depends on the personality and age of the pet, general care would include meeting the basic needs (food, water, bathroom breaks, and running/walking time) while also being ready and able to play, facilitate enrichment times, and cuddle especially clingy pets.

“Sonya is amazing! My dog has anxiety and is very nervous around new people. Sonya was patient with her and allowed her to warm up to our new routine of having a dog walker. Thank you, Sonya!”

About: Since I was a little girl, I've always held a love and care for animals. I cared for all, big and small. Always cared for critters growing up and started pet sitting when I was in Middle school. Over the years I have had experience with many types of animals and caring for many as pets, fosters, and pet sitting. I have cared for puppies, elderly pets that require medical care. I have fostered over 100 animals and pet sit for just as many. I have worked in a dog boarding establishment, and a pet store caring for reptiles, amphibians, and various small animals, and currently work on a farm part time caring for horses, cats, dogs, chickens. I have had dogs, cats, chinchillas, rabbits, sugar gliders, rabbits, tortoises, frogs, hedgehogs, hamsters, fish, shrimp, crayfish, birds, etc. in my care and am happy to provide excellent and quality care for any type of animal you need care for. I have 2 responsible older kids who love animals and we have a houseful of love and animals. We would love to spend time with your precious pets and I have the love, time, and resources to meet all their needs and adjust to their schedule. We believe in slow, positive intros, and a safe and happy environnent. I always keep dogs in my care in our new fenced yard or on a leash. Fence has technology to notify me if a gate has opened. I supervise during play time and separate animals during food times. Make sure they have everything they need, including medications, or extra cuddles, walks, etc. Work with animals using positive reinforcement and praise.

About: When it comes to animals, I love them all. I have extensive experience working with animals especially at a non profit no kill rescue that is unique giving everyone a chance no matter if they need high amounts of medical care. With that background, I'm comfortable caring for cats and dogs with medical needs, of all ages. I am most comfortable with small and medium dogs that are easy going and like going for walks! I work remote from home and have flexibility to adjust as needed for weekdays and weekends. I do need advance planning for anything more than a drop in. It's deeply personal to come into someone's home and care for their fur baby, I understand completely! Part of the planning process involves asking questions about your needs, preferences, expectations so we are in the same page!
