About: I bring a calm, reliable presence and genuine love for animals. I’m experienced with both puppies and senior pets, including reinforcing training, maintaining routines, and providing gentle support for older pets who need extra care. I’m detail‑oriented, safety‑focused, and communicate clearly so owners always feel informed and confident. Every pet is treated with patience, respect, and the same care I’d want for my own. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I plan my days around consistency. I’m comfortable with early mornings, scheduled walks, feeding times, and regular check‑ins. I treat each visit as a priority, making sure every pet gets dependable care and attention throughout the week. When I care for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and predictable environment. I follow each pet’s routine exactly as outlined — feeding times, walks, play, training reinforcement, and any medication needs. I take time to understand their personality, comfort level, and energy so I can adapt my approach and help them feel secure. For puppies, I reinforce the basics: crate routines, potty breaks, consistent schedules, and positive training habits. For senior pets, I’m patient and gentle, offering slow walks, mobility support, and medication reminders. No matter the age, I keep communication open with owners through updates, photos, and honest check‑ins so they always feel confident and informed.
About: Dogs are my personality. I’m someone who grew up with multiple dogs at a time in my home. Right now, I have a 100 pound black lab, Kobe!! He is my life but I have room for more to care for like my own. I’m young, active and most importantly have a passion for dogs. I have experience in both large to small dogs and walking up to 2 dogs at a time. I’d love to be your next choice. I’m pretty much free. I am available mornings to 4pm Monday to Thursday. Fridays I’m booked. Weekends really depend but I am normally free and around. When I go to a clients home, I care for their pets as they tell me to do, following the rules and respect their home completely!!
About: I have grown up with animals my whole life and I have a deep love and appreciation for the natural world and all types of animals. I have worked multiple internships on farms working with farm animals and have owned many cats and dogs over the years. I would be happy to help take care of your furry friend! :) I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to take care of your lovely pet! My schedule is relatively open and I am open to working with you on days not listed in my availability if I am able. I can take care of feeding time, walks, letting them outside and keeping an eye on them. And of course offering all the cuddles required! :)

I have been around pets my entire life and I love all animals - happy to spend my time with your furry family working on training and giving lots of love! I am available for walks, check-ins, and overnights. Murphy and I walk all day every day, so long walks have become my favorite pass time. I am also able to administer any medications that may be needed and can assist with most medical conditions. Thank you for putting your trust in me! 🐶🐾 I work full time but I have a flexible schedule. I am remote and can be available for walks/ check-ins/overnights when needed. I am also happy to house sit when needed! I think how I care for the pets is up to the owner! Sometimes owners prefer to keep their animals separate from mine/prefer me to be at their house. Sometimes they prefer me to be very hands on/ sometimes not. Animals will be happy and healthy in my care no matter what the request :)

“Paige is absolutely wonderful with my pup! We were able to arrange an in-person meet & Levi immediately wanted to just play with her. Paige asks all the right questions and is always able to accommodate. She also keeps us posted on her schedule to make sure we can make other arrangements, if needed. Very glad to have come across her profile & for Levi to have a new person to just hang out with and have loads of fun! She also keeps me posted on their adventures with loads of pictures and updates!”
