About: I have taken care of my own dog as well as taken family friends dogs on walks and runs. I am currently training for a half marathon, so if your dogs loves long runs or long walks I would love to help them get outside and exercise. I currently am working part time on top of school. Most days I can take dogs on a walk or run in the morning to later afternoon! I currently live in an apartment where pets are not allowed, so for now I will stick to taking dogs on walks and runs whether that’s around a safe neighborhood or at a park.

Lauren was great with our dog. Our lab is older and I didn’t want to board him. She came into our house to feed, play, and let him out. She gave him lots of attention! She sent excellent notes and picture updates. We would definitely recommend Lauren!

About: I grew up with many different dog breeds. I can administer medication, feedings, walking, running, and give them all the potty breaks in the world. I love all animals and will treat yours like my own. I’m currently working part time and out of school for the summer. I’ll be free during night time routines or early morning walks and all day on my days off. I follow specific instructions for your fur baby and keep him or her safe and cared for during my time with them. If they need to be crated before I have to leave, that will be done. They will also be given any enrichment that you had planned.

About: Every since I was young I would walk dogs for friends and family. Once I finally turned 18 I was able to work for a doggie daycare! Talk about dream come true! Hey pet parents, I promise to always do my best when having your fur child/children under my care ❤️ (I also would like to mention that the rates are high because this app only gives a very small percent of what you pay) I don’t mind long walks, and trips to the park! Snuggles and movies work too 🩵 I can provide any needed service for your fur baby/ babies! (I also would like to mention that the rates are high because this app only gives a very small percent of what you pay)

About: Anything you need I’m here for it! I have cared for dogs with immobility and special needs, blindness and deafness, as well as rescues. I have walked, sitted and boarded for WAG for over four years. I work at a pet care facility from 4-10:30 I am able to come check on your pup in my home (I have a roommate that will check on fur babies and make sure they aren’t getting into anything. I have my son the second and fourth week of each month for those whose pets are not child friendly. Overnights are more than welcome whether he is here or not because he gets in his high chair after he is done playing in his room when he wakes up so he’s not in their way until about 9:30 AM! I have a giant fenced yard and everything is typically put up due to having kids around the house and a habit of making sure everything is put away.

About: Since I was a young girl I've cared for cats and dogs in various settings. I've volunteered at humane societies, I've worked as a Vet Tech, was a supervisor at a daycare/boarding facility. I can administer insulin and other medications. Minor training experience in a professional setting. Can handle puppies to seniors. I will have plenty of time to devote to your pets, who really are our children. I am home a majority of the time with my own pets. I do not have a fenced in yard, I use a leash and walk my dog at least once a day, weather permitting. Potty breaks 2-4 hrs for my dog. I can travel as I have a 4wd vehicle. I will play and treat your pets as my own!

About: I have several years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to sweet seniors. Ive dealt with multiple dogs at once, all with different personalities. From shy, energetic, to reactive. I have done everything from daily walks, to overnight stays for clients. Handling the different routines. Another plus is that I grew up fostering dogs, so I have experience with a lot of different breeds creating a very patient and observant demeanor. I am currently working part-time and looking for some extra work. My availability is pretty flexible as long as you are as well! I can either do stop by's for walks once a day, or a multiple day care schedule, with 2-4 hours of being out of the house. I'd love to chat and work something out! When I’m caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow your instructions closely — feeding schedules, walk times, medications, crate routines, and any house rules. I always make sure pets have fresh water, plenty of bathroom breaks, and safe, supervised time outside. I spend quality time with each pet, whether that means playing, training practice, gentle cuddles, or just giving them company so they don’t feel alone. It is all about respect and I respect your home also respect your home, treating your space the same way I’d want mine treated.

About: Hi there! My name is Brookelynn, and I’m a passionate dog lover and experienced dog walker and boarder. I have been working with dogs for 6 years, and I truly believe that they are some of the most loving and loyal animals out there. I recently got married, and my husband, Josh, occasionally assists me with dog care during the boarding process only as a reliable helping hand when needed—he’s just as loving and attentive with animals as I am. At times, he may also assist with meet-and-greets or pickups related to boarding, but I’ll always communicate with you in advance so you feel completely comfortable. As a dog boarder, I know that leaving your furry friend behind can be tough. That’s why I offer a safe, reliable, and loving home environment while you’re away. Your dog will be treated like family, with plenty of attention, playtime, and comfort. I’m happy to follow any special instructions or routines you have for your pet, whether it’s administering medication or sticking to a specific diet. As a dog walker, I understand the importance of regular exercise and stimulation. I will provide your furry friend with a fun and active walk, tailored to their individual needs and energy levels. Whether your dog loves a leisurely stroll or a brisk jog, I’m ready to make sure they get the exercise they need. Above all, I believe in creating a safe and happy environment for all dogs in my care. I will always make sure your pet is comfortable and content. Let’s work together to keep your furry friend healthy, happy, and loved! I work as a Network Engineer Monday through Thursday from 8-5, but I have plenty of availability for walks in the evenings after work. I’m also available for drop-ins and boarding Thursday through Sunday, and can board dogs for stays longer than a week if needed! I am very much a “neat freak”. I believe in leaving an environment the way it was when you arrived… if not better. When visiting your residence I will make it my utmost priority to keep everything clean and make sure your furry family member is taken care of per your instructions.

About: I’ve spent the past two years dog-sitting for several families, caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds. I handle walking, feeding, playtime, and grooming, making sure each dog feels happy, safe, and loved. I also helped organize a dog adoption event at my hometown dog park to promote responsible pet care and help puppies find forever homes. I’m a college student with weekends free, so I can dedicate plenty of time to walks, playtime, and companionship. I’m flexible and happy to follow your pet’s routine to make sure they’re happy and cared for while you’re away. I follow all care instructions closely, supervise pets at all times, and make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable in their own home. I provide regular feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of affection to keep pets relaxed and stress-free. I treat every pet like family and work to create a calm, loving environment while you’re away. Communication is important to me, so I provide updates to ensure peace of mind.
