“Jennifer was absolutely fantastic with my Tucker & Zoey. She came to my home and met them before her scheduled walk days, which was so comforting. She is a very sweet person, was on time, sent several pictures of them during their walk, and very great with communication! This was my first time using someone to walk my babies while I was away for several hours, but I WILL DEFINITELY be using Jennifer again. 😊😊😊”

“Melody helped me with my Great Pyrenees/Saint Bernard mix while I underwent a knee replacement. I could not be more pleased. Her customer service skills are wonderful and she was very accommodating to Max’s (and mine) needs. If you ever need a dog walker/boarder/sitter please don’t hesitate to look up this family!! They are great.”

About: What sets me apart is the presence and care I bring to every interaction. With 15+ years of hands-on experience across a wide range of animals—dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, chickens, rabbits, and guinea pigs—I’m not just pet sitting, I’m attuning.

On nice days, they have access through the doggie door to come in and out as they please. I do close the door when the weather is colder or rainy. I can accommodate for crates dogs.

About: I enjoy fostering dogs to help get more information about their personalities and in turn help them get adopted. I have also been a dog sitter for family and friends for years. I enjoy practicing my dog training hobby. I believe the more training a dog has the happier they will be. They will know their boundaries and what makes their human happy thus creating a positive environment. I currently work full-time from home therefore daycare or walks are the most ideal services for me. If we have a good established relationship (human to human and dog to human) I am open to overnight says. I have a larger fenced yard however the fence is vertically challenged. I like and want to go for a couple walks a day. I have a daughter who loves dogs and is very good with them. She's a gentle and loves to help train, feed or just sit and pet them.

“Lauren is very friendly and an excellent dogwalker! She took great care of my pup and sent regular updates. Will continue using her in the future.”

About: A dog is truly Mans Best Friend. I do have a kind heart, and I love for animals. I would treat your baby as my own. I have been around animals for the most part of my life. Just this past year two my dogs (Shakee Biton age 15 and Casper Coton de Tulear age 16.5) have crossed over to the rainbow bridge. Snowball (Bichon age 17) is still with me and just loving fife. Snowball loves going for car rides to the local country store for a hotdog. She also loves her daily neighborhood walks. She has 27 sister Hens, tow Roosters and for baby chicks. I administered all oral medications for my animals. I have open availability. I just recently left my job to work for myself. With the experience and love I have for animals I feel that I am where I need to be. I have four acres that is fenced in. If I am providing services in your home I will follow what you want for the care and need of your fur baby.

About: Hi! I am here simply because I love dogs, and I wanted to earn some money for my school expenses. My first experience with dogs was when I first came back to the US, and my family had a lovely chihuahua named Olga. She was sweet, kind, patient and calm, she was already perfect, so I never really got any experience with handling, or dealing with naughty dogs. There was another do, Ginger, and she’s total goofball, our source of laughter. The years living with them made me realize how much I loved dogs, and how much I needed them in my life. A few years after I got my first puppy, a GSD (DDR) named Leona, I got her when she was 8 weeks old, and we lived together until she was 2. Although she was a handful for a first time dog owner, I loved her wholeheartedly and trained her to do many tricks, and she has become more mature and calm through the training. Unfortunately, we had to send her to a new home due to we were moving, and the new house didn’t allow pets. I really missed the days where I could just go to a dog and hug them, cuddle with them, and leave all my worries and sadness behind. I love all kinds of dogs. Everytime I see a dog on the street, I get excited and can’t help but smile. I’ve always wanted to be a dog sitter, ever since I could remember, but I never took the act. Now that I’m homeschooled, I have plenty of time on my schedule. Please consider me when you are in need for help taking care of your dog, and I will do my best to serve you!

About: I grew up with and have worked with animals all of my life - dogs, cats, horses, guinnea pigs, hamsters, cattle, etc. I became a licensed veterinary technician 13 years ago and love seeing the furry faces that bring so much joy to so many. I have experience with all ages of animals, but have a special place in my heart for older kids. If you need help with your fur-child, I’m here! I’m between things right now, figuring life out. I’m pretty open besides when I have my daughter. I’m currently dog-less so seeing your puppy will really make my day! I want the time you are away from your pup to be as comfortable as possible. I will do whatever it is that will accomplish that. A schedule is so very important to them so let’s keep it!

About: I have 3 dogs of my own, varied ages, and even a pig! But I have been around animals as long as I can remember. My partner won’t let me get any more animals, so I would love to care for all of yours instead! I am a teacher and looking for summer, and break, work. I am practically available all day! I would be a fool to not do something that I love to occupy my days. I have a very energetic 1 year old, fully vaccinated, puppy that would love to run around with your fur babies. She has a bigger brother and sister, so size is not a problem for her. I also have 2 cats of my own so have experience with both.

About: I've taken care of animals ever since I was a teenager. Dogs, cats, hamsters, and even chickens. From cleaning out the liter box to stopping by to make sure your dog or cat has what they need, I'll be more than happy to look after your pet. I am currently at stay at home mom with a dog (Shadow), four cats, and four chickens that I like to call The Golden Girls. My schedule is flexible through most of the week while the kids are at school. I enjoy spending my time going on walks with my dog. We have a big yard so we also spend a lot of time playing fetch with many, many sticks. I also tend to take lots of pictures so I hope you don't mind getting bombarded with the photo drops!
