Keira was great helping our German shepherd. We went on a 7 day cruise and she stopped by 3 times a day and walked him. He was so sweet with her, she always sent pictures to update us & communicated regularly. Would highly recommend to anyone.

About: I have enjoyed taking care of our household pets since I was young. I have experience walking and working with dogs of various sizes. I’ve worked as a volunteer animal handler for Eagle's Den Animal Haven & Rescue, where I worked with puppies and abused animals to get them socialized, leash trained, and comfortable with people. I also have experience doing long-distance animal transport through volunteer work with Wheels4Paws and a job with New Start Animal Transport. Through all of this, I have found a passion for working with animals and I look forward to meeting you and your pup. I'm currently working part-time in the evenings. My normal start time for that job is 5:30pm. So, I'm available most days from 8:00am to 4:00pm, and late evenings after work when house/pet sitting. I try to maintain the same kind of care and routine that you have gotten your pet accustomed to. This includes sleeping arrangements, diet, feeding times, play times, and walks.

About: I have had dogs and cats growing up. I had a cat as a child and I now own 2 cats and 2 dogs. I have a 2.5 year old German Shepard and a 14 year old German Shepard mix. I have experience with small dogs and big dogs of all ages. I have watched my neighbors animals, friends, and families. I am open to spending the night and getting lots of cuddles. I am open to walking dogs as needed or just going over for a simple potty break and some cuddles. I watch many of my coworkers animals and walk them as needed on my days off. I work day shift 3 days a week at the hospital. I stack my days so I have many days off in between my 3. I also can do in house stays. I make sure my animals are always fed they are on a schedule twice a day at the same time. I always ensure that they are comfortable in their home, they have dog beds and my puppy stays in a crate to ensure her safety while I am gone. My animals always have fresh water, food and they get treats when they are being good. I will always put your animals safety first when I am out walking. My animals are always on a leash to ensure their safety and other animals. I will treat your animals as I do my own with love and care.

About: Hi there! I'm a former veterinary technician who spent years working hands-on with animals. While I loved the work, the field could be a bit emotionally heavy at times—so I decided to step back and find a happier, more balanced way to stay close to the animals I adore. That’s what brought me to dog walking and drop-in visits! I truly enjoy long walks and runs with my own dogs, so if you have an active pup who needs a good workout, I’ve got you covered. I share my home with two big dogs and two cats, so I’m very comfortable with pets of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. All of my animals have special diets and unique needs, so I’m extra careful and experienced when it comes to following feeding instructions, administering medications, or keeping routines just right. Your pets will be treated like family—because that’s exactly how I see them. I'm an aspiring actress and also work as a bartender, which gives me a flexible schedule. I typically work Wednesdays and Thursdays from 7 PM to close, and Fridays and Saturdays from 12 PM to 7 PM. While I have other commitments throughout the week, I’m great at managing my time and can usually adjust my schedule to make room when needed. I take the care of animals very seriously—both in my home and in my clients’ homes. My own pets have taught me how important it is to be attentive, patient, and detail-oriented. I have two big dogs and two cats, all of whom have special needs. One of my dogs only has three legs and has been through extensive rehabilitation and medical care, so I’m very familiar with mobility issues, post-op routines, and the importance of adapting exercise to the animal’s capabilities. All four of my pets are on different prescription diets and medications, so I’m experienced in administering meds properly, sticking to feeding routines, and keeping a close eye on health and behavior changes. Whether I’m caring for animals in my own home or visiting yours, I bring that same level of attentiveness and compassion. Every pet is unique, and I always take the time to understand and follow their specific needs and routines to make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for.

Dakota was amazing! I'm new in town & didn't know my dog couldn't be in my apartment while the movers unpacked my furniture. Unable to to leave work, Dakota was kind enough to accept my last minute booking. She was communicative & sent pictures & updates throughout her stay with my pup. She was great with Ka'Lani & I'll be booking with her again :)

Amanda took amazing care of my senior cat, making sure her medication was given on time and handled with care. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was not only attentive to her needs but also spent quality time with her, giving her plenty of cuddles and comfort. She also kept me updated with lots of pictures, which I really appreciated—it made being away so much easier.
