About: I am a CPDT-KA. I have experience in the veterinary field and am comfortable giving medications of all kinds. I have worked with thousands of dogs in my 50+ years. I am organized, efficient, on time and reliable. I am a professional trainer and have clients all over the nation. I see training clients four days a week and can take care of or walk your dogs around my training schedule. I do not board dogs in my home. Most dogs are more comfortable in their own home. I would love to walk your dogs, or just let them out and give them some attention.
About: I've had animals in my house all my life and am a current pet owner of a sweet tuxedo cat, Max. Before Max I cared for my late cat Ladybug. I miss her so and animals are so important in my life. They're more than just household pets and I really love learning about what makes them happy (because they bring so much happiness to my life). I'm a pet care provider, babysitter and elder companion. I have lots of experience in managing different situations and keeping a calm demeanor in many environments. Direct communication and details are important to me and I always strive to make sure to include these things when working with clients. Being self employed means I have lots of flexibility in my schedule. Movement and connection are incredibly important to me and walking, playing and moving daily is something I strive for. I appreciate playing, socializing and connecting with animals. I also love going on a good walk to get outside and moving and I am available for walks too! I will be caring for your pet in your home. I always leave a place extra clean and tidy, and ensure to clean up after myself and the pet. My goal is to be respectful of your space.

Further away areas may require covering transportation costs as well as sitting fees. My dog is particular about who I bring home, so staying at your place is best. I absolutely cannot commit to stays at your home without first coming by to see what I am getting into. I currently work part time, so I have lots of time to spend with your pet. Play time and cuddle time are essential. Let me know what activities your pet enjoys. I may also be able to do overnights in my home on a case to case basis. I will be directly with your pet most of the time. Depending on what you request, our activities will vary. Let me know your pets schedule and routine.

“Kat was an excellent dog walker (handling two large and one small dog): competent, reliable, caring, and professional. Billie, my skittish one rescued from a hoarding situation, warmed up to Kat quickly. She has good energy/a good vibe. I would not hesitate to use her again for dog walking or pet sitting in future. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve been fostering and doing overnights with shelter dogs and puppies for over 3 years, and have 15+ years of experience taking care of friend’s and family’s pets. I have my own 10-year old pup and my family has 3 more dogs at home. I got on here because I could use more puppy love in my life and have a genuine love for animals. I am also am a traveler and know how difficult it is to find a reliable and safe person to watch my pup, so I’d love to be that resource for others. I also have experience with cats, rats, fish, chickens, and horses. I will love your pet as if it was my own and send you pupdates. :) I work remotely for myself and am very active and so I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule for visiting or walking your pup during the day and even staying the night if needed. I do travel to do speaking engagements (and for the fun of it) but I will keep my schedule updated and clearly communicate my availability, as needed. We have a safe, very tall fenced in yard on the outskirts of town. I promise to love your dog as my own and treat your home with care and attention. I have high integrity and attention to the needs of your pup. I am able to accommodate special requests and am very attentive to the needs of our furry family members.
About: I’ve taken care of community members animals. I work at a vet clinic. I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life. I’ve worked with small and large animals.

Most of the time I can tell if Animals are not gonna get along. If the animals get along I will let them play together if they do not I will crate one at a time.

Gwen U.
“I have been raising and training dogs since I was 13 years old. I got my first golden retriever and did training through 4H. From there I’ve owned several dogs and have worked with Guide Dog puppies for 15 years under their guidance of training. I have worked with other dog trainers. I am competent and know how to raise and train a puppy into a confident, well behaved dog. Gwen‘s expertise, knowledge and understanding of dogs behaviors and of their owners is far greater than mine. She has been invaluable in helping me continue to grow as a dog owner. Whenever I’ve had an issue that I was not able to resolve with my usual methods, Gwen has brought insights into what I could do instead or better. Gwen is an exceptional dog trainer. Kind, positive, n supportive. Gwen’s understanding of how to help a dog best boils down to helping the owner learn and teach their dog. A rare talent!”
Caitlin D.
“If you want a worry-free care companion for your dog, Caitlin is the one! I first heard about Caitlin from a close friend, and as a busy work-from-home professional it was really hard for me to be in close proximity to my dog Lacey while also knowing that I couldn’t (and still can’t) easily step away for a decent amount of time to walk her during the day. Caitlin has been a lifesaver and has such a gentleness about her which is important as Lacey is a little shy, needing someone to take it slow with her at first. Caitlin is also friendly and a great communicator both over text and in-person. Highly recommend!”
Persia D.
“Persia is a wonderful pet sitter! She watched my cat, Freyja, last minute for me when I had a sudden work trip come up. I asked her to just come by twice a day for feedings and to scoop the box 1 of the 5 days she was here and she went above and beyond! Not only did she come at the same time everyday for feedings, she spent extra time with her, playing and petting her, and cleaned her box daily, which made me feel less anxious about leaving my baby. Freyja can be wary of new people, but she immediately loved Persia (maybe it was the fact she brought her treats, but still)! I don’t think I will trust anyone else to watch my Frey!”

“Summer is a wonderful person who cares deeply for animals. Her dog, Rocky, might be the envy of town in the dog world with how pampered and well traveled she is!
