About: I love pets and ever since I was little I was obsessed with them. I have watched over bunnies, hamsters, birds, and cats. But my favorite one of them all is my dog. We have had our little guy for about 3 years. He is a super happy and funny companion who will keep your dogs company alongside me. I am a college student and am currently available full time to take care of your pets. If there are any behaviors of which I should know, let me know ahead of time. On top of that if you want to tell me your dogs favorite scratching point that would be much appreciated. ( if not I’ll sherlock it anyway) I am currently home full time and therefore watching your dog is my 1st priority. It also gives me joy and excercise over the summer. Our first floor is quite big and has enough room for the dogs to play. My Pomeranian will also keep your dog company. My Pomeranian likes to sleep in my room in his crate. Your dog can sleep wherever they want and however they like it if they are potty trained. If not I would appreciate if a crate is brought along with the dog.


4. Camryn M.
“I have seen Camryn interact with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. She seems to have a real knack for knowing how to interact with any dog she comes into contact with. She just has a natural way with them and they seem to be very comfortable with her. I have used her to take care of my dog when I have needed to go out for several hours and for walking when I was not able to walk him myself. She has always been on time, my dog is very excited to see her and I feel very confident that he is in good hands while with her. I would highly recommend Camryn.”

13. Sarah C.
“I have a 90lb mutt, Til, that can be a lot for some dog walkers to handle. She is very strong, likes to pull, and doesn’t necessarily love other dogs. I’ve had 3 other dog walkers tell me that she was too much for them. I finally found Sarah, who has 3 years of dog behavior experience working shelter dogs. I highly recommend her as a trustworthy and knowledgeable pet sitter.”
