About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 13. I also used to take care of my friend’s dogs whenever they needed me. To me, those 4 paws babies are more than family, they’re angels on earth! I currently have a full-time job, but I am free the whole morning until 2:00 pm. My cousin is home until 4:00 pm before work, so there is always a company in the house. I'm available for booking on weekends day/night so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups. Extended Care after 8+hrs fee is $45 I can easily create your dog enough space to feel free and comfortable like home, take them for a walking while keeping them safe in a peaceful area.

About: I have been a huge dog lover ever since I can remember. As a 7 year old little girl I used to run downstairs to play, pet and show love to any dog I heard barking outside. When I got to High School I finally convinced my parents to allow me to bring a puppy home (German Shepard) and I completely dedicated my entire life to my dog, Kyser. My journey started with Kyser, who was my loyal companion for 16 unforgettable years until it was time to let him rest. My life literally revolved around Kyser despite the fact that I was only in high school. My social life came to a halt and anywhere I went, Kyser was by my side. I was so heartbroken when it was time to allow him to rest that my sister immediately got me my current dog, Duke, and as you can imagine, my life currently revolves around my baby, Dukey. Prime examples of my life revolving around my dog are, I literally only bought a house just so that I can provide my dog a safe and consistent space to reside in and remain in a safe, healthy and consistent environment at all times. Then I proceeded to purchase an SUV where my dog/dogs can travel with me comfortably on all road trips. The only time I leave my house now is to work because my only desire is to spent quality time with my dog either at home or at the park because my dog/s are what bring me the most peace in this life. My passion for dogs led me to work as a veterinary technician at an animal hospital for 5 years, where I had the privilege of caring for animals and learning even more about them. A few things set me apart from other sitters. With 5 years as a veterinary technician, I have hands-on experience with pet health, administering medications, handling emergencies, and recognizing signs of illness. This background is especially helpful for senior pets or those with medical needs. Another thing that sets me apart from other sitters are my training skills. I can reinforce basic commands, work on house-training, and use positive reinforcement techniques to support good behavior. Personalized care : I understand that every pet is unique. I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and quirks to provide customized care that keeps them comfortable and happy. Experience with All Ages : from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing a slower pace, I have the patience and adaptability to cater to pets at every life stage. My experience with Kyser and Duke have given me personal insight into caring for aging dogs, which can be an emotional and delicate process. Communication and Trust : I believe in keeping pet owners in the loop with regular updates, photos, and videos, so they feel confident and at ease while away. Passion and Peace : Dogs are not just animals to me - they are family to me. Caring for them isn't a job but a joy, and I treat every pet with the same love and attention I gave to Duke. Duke was my entire world but unfortunately had to let him rest in peace with some dignity as well just a couple of months ago. Now, nothing would give me more pleasure than to show your pup nothing but LOTS OF LOVE and a great day full of activities and fun. I currently am a Physical Education and Health Teacher therefore I am available during the week after 2:30pm. I am available all weekend at any time of the day or night. However, considering I only work 5 minutes from home I will be able to incorporate these daily and weekly routines as I have a lot of preps, lunch and downtime as a teacher. DAILY ROUTINE: Morning - Start the day with feeding, a walk (playtime), and any necessary medications. Midday - During my prep/lunch (2 hours) - I will provide bathroom breaks, a short walk or a play session in the yard. Afternoon/Evening - Another feeding, longer walk and more engaged playtime in the yard, followed by some winding-down time. Night - I will ensure pets are settled, comfortable, and safe for a good night's sleep. WEEKLY ROUTINE: Exercise Variety - I will include new games, toys, or walking routes t keep things fresh. Grooming Needs - I will brush their coat, clean their ears, or handle any specific grooming requirements. Training & Enrichment - I will dedicate time to reinforce good behavior or introduce new challenges. IN MY HOME : I have a fenced in yard and front lawn to keep your fur baby safe at all times. I will keep them active and engaged in the yard as we play catch and enjoy the fun in the sun. Preparation - I will Pet-proof the space, remove hazards, and set up a comfortable area with bedding, toys and water. Routine - I will stick to their feeding, walking, and sleeping schedules to reduce stress. Supervision - I will keep an eye on them, especially during the first few days as they adjust. Safe Spaces - I will provide quiet spots for rest, especially for pets who may feel overwhelmed. Enrichment - I will engage in play, training, and mental stimulation tailored to their needs. IN THE CLIENT'S HOME: Respect Their Space - I will follow the pet's usual routine closely and maintain house rules. Familiar Comforts - I will use the pet's own bedding, toys and food to minimize changes. Security - I will ensure the home is secure and always follow the client's guidelines for locking doors and setting alarms. Communication - I will send updates, photos or videos to the pet owner for peace of mind. Cleanliness - I will keep the space tidy, clean up after the pet and leave home as I found it. I will provide water inside the house and in the yard during play time. We will have time to cuddle and bond while we recuperate for our next activity in the yard.

About: I’ve had two dogs! My first dog was a Maltese named Rocky. He passed away in 2017 from lymphoma. 💔 Right now, I have a 9-year-old terrier mix named Lila! She’s full of energy and loves running around the yard, going for walks, and playing fetch with her toys. I’ve been helping take care of my family’s & friends dogs since I was a little girl, and I’ve always loved dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and personalities. 🥰 I’m currently in the Accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing (ABSN) program at FDU. I started in May, and the program is 15 months long, so I’ll be graduating in September 2027. My classes are a mix of online and in-person, but I’m generally available all day on Monday, Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays to house sit and available Tuesdays and Thursdays for drop-ins and walks! Whether your dog needs a walk, a trip to the park, someone to play with, or just a buddy to relax with on the couch, I’m happy to help! I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, love, and care while you’re away. Just let me know what you need, and I’d be happy to make it happen. 😊

About: I have taken care of all types of pets for 7 years. I have been taking care of dogs for 2 years. I love all! I am available part time for dog care. Nights are more easier to accept due to my work schedule as a therapist. Let me know and I can work with you! I have a doggy park. I have cages if a dog wants a lone time from other dogs/pets. I have a balcony if it is raining for air and sun. I am available before 7 and after 4:30 usually for drop off on weekdays. I am flexible on weekends. We can accommodate times if told in advance. There is a fenced dog park across the street. The dogs slept separately all day besides during play time. We have cameras inside the house and outside the front door.

“I reached out to Alison when I was sick and unable to walk my dog, Ace, and she responded right away. She was kind, friendly, and very reliable throughout the booking. Ace absolutely loved her—every time he came back from a walk, he didn't even want to come back inside! It gave me great peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable dog walker. 🐾💕”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, so caring for them comes naturally to me. As a lifelong dog lover and a proud dog mom myself, I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. What sets me apart is the personal attention and genuine care I provide. I want every dog staying with me to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and truly at home. I’m patient with puppies and energetic dogs who need extra playtime and attention, and I’m equally happy caring for older or more relaxed dogs who prefer a quieter environment and a slower pace. I take the time to learn your dog’s normal routine, feeding schedule, walking habits, favorite activities, and any special instructions you provide. My goal is to care for your fur baby the same way I would want someone to care for my own, like part of the family. I’m a real estate agent with a flexible schedule, which allows me to plan my day around the pets in my care. I’m able to provide plenty of attention throughout the day, including regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of love and companionship. Since I have dogs of my own, pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. Your pup will be treated like part of the family while staying with me! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I provide a clean, loving, and supervised home environment where dogs are treated like part of the family. I have a spacious, fully fenced backyard where they can safely enjoy fresh air, potty breaks, and playtime, as well as a quiet neighborhood that is perfect for walks. I carefully follow each pet parent’s instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, routines, and any special needs. I understand that every dog has a different personality, so I take the time to help each pet feel comfortable and adjust at their own pace. I have two friendly dogs of my own who are used to sharing their home, but I also have the ability to keep them separate from guest dogs if needed. This allows me to accommodate dogs who may prefer their own space or need a calmer environment. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your fur baby is safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while staying in my home.

About: I grew up my whole life around dogs, whether they were mine or my family & friends dogs. Taking care of dogs is all I know. I always attend to my pets or other peoples pets after my shifts from work. I mostly work in the morning on the weekdays. so afternoons & weekends are mostly free time to be with the fur babies I make sure that there isn’t anything that would harm or be a danger to them. There is also a gated doggy section at my apartment so the dogs can have as much free time to be themselves.

About: I have hands‑on experience caring for dogs both as an owner and through my work at a pet daycare. I’m skilled in providing daily essentials such as feeding, fresh water, medication administration, and structured walks. I also support general training by reinforcing good habits, maintaining routines, and creating a positive, engaging environment. My calm, reliable approach helps dogs feel secure, stimulated, and well‑cared‑for in any setting. I build their care into the natural rhythm of my day. Before school, I handle feeding, fresh water, and a quick walk or check‑in, and after work I have plenty of time for exercise, training, and attention. Weekends give me longer stretches for enrichment and bonding, so they get steady care throughout the week. I keep pets safe by maintaining a clean, secure environment and following their specific routines and care instructions. In a client’s home, I respect their space and keep pets comfortable by sticking to familiar rules and daily habits. In my own home, I provide supervised play, proper enrichment, and a calm atmosphere so pets feel relaxed and well‑cared‑for.

Kathleen was a great walker for my pup!! She helped me with 2 walks for my dog on a day I had to go into my office. I really appreciated her communication around both walks. We even had some problems with the door codes I created for her to get into my building not working and she was super understanding and flexible to work around the issue. She asked questions to make sure my dog would be comfortable and taken care of and delivered on everything! She is so nice she even replaced the poop bag with my backup role because it ran out on the second walk. Will definitely book again!!!!
