About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 16. I can comfortably walk, bathe, feed, and overall take care of them. I’m also able to recognize signs of stress, happiness, and anxiety in dogs to help me better suit their needs. While I haven’t been taking care of dogs for a long time I am very comfortable doing so and have done lots of research to understand them better. I am currently on break from school therefore I have nothing but time to help take care of your furry friends! I am available seven days a week to walk dogs and provide drop-ins multiple times a day if necessary. I am able to drive myself to and from your home to do pet check-ins and will keep a close eye on them when outside to maintain their safety. When walking your furry friends I will not let them go unsupervised and they will be on a leash at all times. If your pet is not friendly with other dogs then I will keep them separated when on walks. I will work my hardest to make accommodations to your furry friends needs!
About: Hello! I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, so I am very familiar with what it takes to care for pets! I love animals, and currently have a cat and dog of my own. I am currently working a full time job during the work week, but have plenty of free time on most weekends! I keep my schedule on here updated as much as possible. I spoil my own pets, and will care for yours just the same. I am able to give medicine if needed, and can care for young and old pets.

They’re all very friendly and I’m sure they’d love to meet yours :)
About: I grew up with dogs and cats. I enjoy spending time and taking care of them. I am very responsible and would love to help you as needed. I am currently retired and I am available anytime during the weekend and week day. I love to travel so booking in advance would be helpful so that I may adjust my schedule as needed.

About: Hey there! I have lived with dogs and cats for most of my life and always plan to. I currently have a senior husky and frequently foster dogs from our local rescue. I have also pet sat friends’ and neighbors’ pets over the years. I have experience with dogs of all ages. My senior pup takes daily medications so I am comfortable with providing oral medications if needed for your pet. I currently work from home full time so I am easily accessible in our pet loving neighborhood! I currently take my own pups on walks multiple times a day. I am easily able to pick up your pet for a walk or stop by the house to check in multiple times a day if needed. At my home, I have a fenced in backyard where pets are able to easily go out to use the restroom frequently or play fetch! I also am able to crate pets if needed as I have one medium sized crate. I work from home so I am able to easily keep an eye on the pets in my care.

“Melanie was so kind and sweet to my little dog. I really appreciated her helping me out so last minute when I had a cancellation. I’m sure Donut will be excited to see her again next time”
About: I grew up with all sorts of animals, but don’t have the schedule flexibility to have my own full time. By providing services for folks who also don’t I get to care for animals and help people. It’s the best of both worlds I work from home two days a week where I am flexible to help out with daily needs and most weekends I stay around the area and am opening to offering my home and help to those that travel and need someone to look after their four legged family members I do not have a crate. If one is required please provide it for overnight stays. Otherwise I’m happy to get up and stroll so your pets can get the exercise they need throughout the days
