About: Eight years ago, I had the privilege of finding my soul dog, who taught me just how beautiful and meaningful the bond between humans and animals can be. Learning to understand her unique personality, nonverbal communication, and individual needs deepened my patience, empathy, and intentionality in caring for animals. My sweet girl sadly passed away in November 2025, but the love and lessons she gave me continue to shape how I connect with animals today. I find so much joy in getting to know each animal as an individual, building trust, respecting their boundaries, and providing loving, attentive care that meets their unique needs. I currently share my home with two cats, and our household regularly welcomes dogs we're caring for. I also have experience house-sitting for friends and family, allowing their pets to remain comfortable in their familiar environment while maintaining their routines as closely as possible. I believe animals communicate so much when we take the time to listen and observe. Whether your pet is playful and outgoing or shy and needs a little extra patience, my priority is to help them feel safe, respected, loved, and understood while you're away. I'm currently self-employed, which allows me plenty of flexibility throughout the week to accommodate your pet's needs and routines! I'm available for drop-in visits, house sitting, and daily walks, including weekdays and weekends. I enjoy incorporating time with animals into my daily routine and am happy to coordinate schedules to ensure your pets receive consistent, attentive, and loving care. Whether it's a quick check-in, a long walk, or overnight companionship, I'm committed to making sure your pets feel comfortable and cared for while you're away. Creating a safe, comfortable, and trusting environment is my priority. My home has a fenced yard and two cats who are accustomed to dogs, though I prefer a meet-and-greet before confirming stays to ensure everyone feels comfortable. I can also accommodate crate-trained dogs. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I respect their individual needs, boundaries, and routines, providing patient, attentive care so they feel safe, loved, and understood while you're away.

“Great! We needed a last minute walk. I contacted Timmothy @ 5pm, and soon after he was here to take the doodle for a nice long walk on a frigid winter's eve. I believe they both had a good time. I will contact Timmothy again for future walks. ?????”

“Madilyn came over to walk my dog Bane on super short notice. She was timely and so sweet, and my German shepherd loved the long hour walk they went on!”

“Alana has become part of my family!! She takes great care of my 70 pound hair ball. She is extremely communicative and always always goes above and beyond! Rita (my dog) loved her and when I come home from work I can tell she has been well taken care of. It gives me ease of mind knowing Rita is with her while I’m at work. c”

About: With 12 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats, I bring a lifetime of love, patience, and understanding to every furry friend I meet. Growing up in a pet-loving family, I had the joy of bonding with cats and dogs alike, and now I have a sweet pup of my own who continues to teach me every day. I’ve worked with dogs of all ages—from playful puppies to wise seniors—and have some training experience that helps me connect with each pet’s unique needs and personality. To me, animals are the most precious beings, and they deserve more than just basic care—they deserve to be loved, respected, and pampered. I will always go out of my way to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and at home, as if they were my own! Even though my job comes with an unusual and ever-changing schedule, pet care is always a top priority in my life. I make it a point to plan around the pets I care for—ensuring they get all the love, attention, and consistency they need. Whether it’s making time for a walk, a cuddle session, or just being there when they need company, I’m fully committed to giving every pet in my care the same love and attention I give my own. Flexibility is part of my lifestyle, and it allows me to show up for your pets when you need me most! I care for my own dog with daily walks, lots of playtime, and all the cuddles he could ever want—he’s truly part of the family! That same level of love and attention is what I bring to every pet I care for. And while my dog is friendly and well-socialized, I completely understand that every pet has different comfort levels. If your pet needs space or a more private experience, I can easily keep them separated to ensure they feel safe, relaxed, and right at home!

About: I’m recently unemployed and looking to get my steps in and earn some dollar tree money! I have experience running a BOOMING neighborhood dog walking business in the 90s!

Newly unemployed, so availability is quite literally wide open! I would like to avoid far drives.

“Teresa and our pup had such lovely times together! We are so grateful for Teresa’s communication, reliability, as well as patience with our young, high-energy pup. It can be hard for us to leave our dogs, however we could trust Teresa, knowing she brings safety & care. We’d totally book her again if she’d have us! Thanks again, Teresa!”
