About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 20 years, both as a pet owner and professionally. I have hands-on experience working with dogs of all different personalities, energy levels, and needs, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. My professional experience includes dog training and bathing/grooming, and I am also accredited through PetSmart while currently working toward becoming a certified groomer. This ongoing training continues to strengthen my understanding of canine behavior, body language, handling techniques, and how to keep dogs comfortable, safe, and well cared for. Whether your dog needs a walk, some extra exercise and attention, or another type of care, I’m happy to tailor my approach to their individual personality and routine. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. My goal is for every dog in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while giving their owners peace of mind. I currently work part-time as a professional dog bather, typically 15–20 hours per week, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide pet care around my work schedule. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and other services throughout the week, and I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s routine. Because my work is already centered around caring for dogs, I’m comfortable working with different breeds, personalities, and energy levels. I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability and make sure your pet gets the time, attention, and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll care for your dogs and cats in the comfort of their own home, keeping their routines as consistent as possible and treating your space with the same respect I would my own. For walks, I’ll stay in familiar local areas and use safe, vetted trails that are appropriate for your dog’s needs and energy level. I have professional experience handling and caring for dogs, including bathing and training, so I’m comfortable paying attention to body language, behavior, and potential safety concerns. I’ll always follow your instructions, communicate with you throughout the stay, and make sure your pet receives attentive, dependable care while you’re away.

About: I’ve taken care of both cats and dogs since I was 15, whether they were my own or in my neighborhood. I’ve trained puppies, and helped animals with disabilities such as blindness, hearing loss, valley fever, and epilepsy. I’m currently working a full-time job as a medic, so I am available every weekday after 4:30 and overnight. If your pet needs relieved in the mornings and around lunch time (11am-1pm) I would be happy to take them for a walk or let them out during those times! I am also available all hours of the weekend. I have a large patio and multiple green areas/gated dog parks in my community perfect for play time, and live close to some amazing parks! I also have a dog/cat friendly cat that loves to play and nap with her newly aquatinted friends. When taking care of pets, my first priority is their comfortability. I make sure to pay attention to their individual personalities and what the owners say makes them happy, to help them enjoy their time away from their moms and dads. I believe patience and kindness is key!

About: I have years of professional, hands-on experience caring for dogs in a busy pet resort environment. I worked my way from a kennel attendant/receptionist into management, eventually helping oversee the care and daily operations of two pet resort locations. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, temperaments, and energy levels, including puppies, seniors, anxious dogs, energetic dogs, and dogs who need a little extra patience and individualized attention. My experience includes: • Feeding and following individual meal routines • Administering medications and following special care instructions • Dog walking and supervised play • Monitoring behavior and overall wellness • Managing multiple dogs safely • Puppy and senior care • Providing enrichment and one-on-one attention • Recognizing changes in behavior or signs that something may be wrong • Maintaining clean, safe, comfortable environments I also have professional grooming experience, including: 🛁 Baths and blow-drying ✨ Deshedding treatments ✂️ Nail trims 👂 Ear cleaning 🦷 Teeth cleaning 🫐 Blueberry facials Because of my professional background, I understand that pet care is about much more than simply feeding a dog and letting them outside. Every pet has different needs, routines, and personalities, and I take those differences seriously. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. You will notice availability is blacked out through the new year; availability will update on a regular basis as my full time work schedule comes out. My pet resort schedule will determine all of my all availability. I do not care for pets in my home, so I would come to your home for pre-scheduled walks. Before booking a walking schedule we can discuss logistics.

About: I have several years of experience providing dependable and compassionate pet care for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I have cared for both small and large adult dogs through regular walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, ensuring they receive the exercise, attention, and care they need. I am comfortable handling energetic, strong dogs as well as senior dogs that require a gentler approach. My priority is always the safety, happiness, and well-being of every dog, and I treat each pet with the same love and care I would give my own. I am currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to check in on pets. Prefer morning walks and late afternoon walks.Have an open schedule. When caring for pets in clients’ homes, I make sure they stay comfortable by following their regular routines. I provide fresh food and water, take dogs on walks, let them outside for bathroom breaks, clean up after them, administer medication if instructed, and spend quality time playing with and comforting them. I also keep the home clean and secure by bringing in mail or packages if requested, watering plants, and ensuring doors and gates are locked before leaving.

About: Hi! I'm an experienced animal caregiver with over three years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, as well as livestock. Working with a variety of animals has taught me how important patience, consistency, and careful observation are when it comes to providing excellent care. I pay close attention to each animal's behavior, appetite, energy levels, and routines so I can quickly notice when something seems different or needs attention. Caring for animals is a daily part of my life. Every day I care for my own animals, so I am used to maintaining feeding schedules, monitoring health and behavior, and making sure animals are safe and comfortable. Because animal care is already a priority in my routine, I can easily incorporate visits, walks, playtime, and check-ins for clients' pets throughout the week. I enjoy building trust with animals and providing reliable care that helps owners feel at ease while they're away. When caring for pets in a client's home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I follow all feeding instructions, ensure fresh water is always available, provide exercise and playtime, clean litter boxes or pick up waste, and give plenty of attention and companionship. I also closely monitor each pet's behavior, appetite, and overall well-being, and I communicate regularly with owners through updates and photos. If caring for pets in my own home, I provide a safe, clean, and supervised environment where pets receive individualized attention, exercise, and affection. I make sure they have a comfortable space to rest and follow any specific instructions provided by their owners regarding feeding, medications, routines, or special needs.

“Taylor has been an incredible dog walker for my black lab, Zoey. From the very beginning, Taylor has shown genuine care, professionalism, and an amazing ability to connect with Zoey. She’s always on time, communicates clearly, and goes above and beyond to make sure Zoey gets the exercise and attention she needs. Zoey absolutely loves her walks with Taylor—her tail starts wagging the second she hears her name! Taylor is patient, responsible, and clearly experienced with dogs of all temperaments. I also appreciate the updates and pictures she sends after each walk—it’s reassuring and shows how much she cares. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy and passionate about dogs, I can’t recommend Taylor enough.”

About: Hi, I'm Val! I'm a lifelong animal lover with decades of experience caring for pets of all shapes and sizes (we were definitely a pet-crazy family!). My sister is a former vet tech (I have learned so much from her and she is still my #1 resource when I have to "triage" anything non-emergent), and I grew up surrounded by animals, so pet care has always felt like second nature to me. I’ve cared for senior pets, administered medications, supported animals with special needs, even raised premature puppies! I’m very attuned to the unique rhythms and cues of each animal I meet. I’m gentle, playful, and intuitive, matching energy levels and always paying attention to what a pet needs in the moment. Whether that means slow movements and soft energy or zoomies and tug-of-war, I show up in a way that helps your pet feel safe, respected, and loved. I also deeply value communication with pet parents. I’ll always ask lots of questions to understand your preferences, routines, and what makes your pet feel their best. You can count on regular photo and written updates during our time together! I’m flexible with scheduling and happy to work with pets who may require more attention on walks together due to triggers, so long as there’s no bite history and we’ve had a proper meet & greet to make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. :) I'm looking forward to meeting your fur fam! I work remotely and have a flexible and self-structured schedule, so I’m thankfully able to build my days intentionally around the things that matter, including pet care! I space out my client sessions to make room for walks, drop-ins, and quality time with the animals I care for. When caring for pets in their home, I’m respectful of their space and routines, and always take the time to understand what helps them feel safe and comfortable. I read behavior cues, match energy levels, and adjust my approach, whether that means calm and slow or playful and high-energy. I ask detailed questions up front so I can follow your preferences closely, and I always keep you updated with photos and notes. Your pet’s well-being and emotional safety are my top priorities.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals and feel very comfortable handling pets with different needs and personalities. I currently work in recreational therapy twice a week, which has helped me develop patience, responsibility, and strong attention to detail skills that carry over into providing safe and attentive pet care. As an online college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the time, consistency, an supervision they deserve. At home, our family has five dogs, so I am very familiar with managing multiple pets at once and maintaining consistent schedules. In addition to daily care, I have experience with overnight dog sitting that includes week-long stays where I handled feeding, walks, playtime and managing pet's normal routines. I have cared for puppies, senior dogs, and cats and I understand how to adjust care depending on energy level and age. I have also taken care of chickens while house sitting, so I am comfortable with a variety of animals beyond just dogs and cats. I am able to drive, which allies me to be available for drop ins, walks, and emergencies if needed. Overall, I am dedicated to making families feel safe with leaving their pets at home and making the pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I currently work part time and am an online college student. I work Wednesday and Friday nights from 4pm-9pm. For my college classes I do not have to be on any type of zoom, so I do my course work at my own pace. I provide care in my clients home so pets can stay in a familiar, low-stress environment and maintain their normal routine. I follow all care instructions including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any specific preferences the owner provides. Safety is my top priority. I make sure doors, gates, and crates are secure and keep pets aware from anything that may be unsafe. I work to build trust with both owners and pets by being consistent, patient, and respectful of each pet's personality. I also have reliable transportation, so if an emergency does arise I can provide additional needs.

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.
