Dog Sitting Woodruff

About: I have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for animals, beginning with early exposure to veterinary clinics where I spent time shadowing and learning animal handling and care from a young age. This foundation grew into professional veterinary technician experience, where I worked with dogs and cats of all ages, temperaments, and medical needs, including senior pets, puppies, and animals requiring daily medications or specialized care. In addition to my veterinary background, I volunteered with a service dog organization where I raised and trained future guide dogs. This experience strengthened my skills in leash training, socialization, crate training, and positive reinforcement methods while working with high-expectation working dogs in real-world environments. I also actively continue dog training as a personal passion and have earned three AKC Trick Dog titles with my own dog. Because of this, I’m very comfortable working with energetic dogs, reinforcing basic obedience, and providing structured enrichment during walks and visits. I currently share my home with two dogs and a cat, so I understand day-to-day pet care, multi-pet dynamics, and the importance of consistency and routine. As a pet owner myself, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. My goal is always to provide safe, reliable, and attentive care whether that means a structured walk, a drop-in visit, medication administration, or simply making sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine because I structure my day around consistency and flexibility. I am able to accommodate morning, midday, and afternoon visits, as well as regular walking schedules and drop-in care throughout the week. Because I have a flexible schedule, I can prioritize pet care visits and ensure pets receive attention, exercise, feeding, and companionship on time. I’m used to building my day around routines, whether that’s scheduled walks, feeding times, or medication needs. I value clear communication and reliability, and I make it a priority to be punctual and consistent with every visit so pets feel comfortable and cared for. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and secure while their owners are away. I follow all instructions closely regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any specific care needs. During drop-in visits, I make sure pets receive attention, fresh water, feeding if needed, potty breaks, playtime, and any required medication. I also take time to provide companionship and help pets feel calm and comfortable before leaving. For dog walking, I focus on safe, structured walks that match the dog’s energy level and needs. I pay close attention to leash manners, surroundings, and each dog’s comfort level to ensure a positive experience. I always treat each home with respect, keep things clean and organized, and provide updates so owners feel informed and confident while they are away.

About: I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds! I have experience with mediation management and administration and am comfortable caring for medically complex or senior pets :) I work full time but do work from home about 75% of the time at least so I am home most of the day to care for your pets! I have two friendly dogs and two dog-savvy cats who get along with everyone! I can easily crate or separate animals into separate spaces in my home if the need arises

“Very pleased with the care that James gave my dog! He showed up on time, followed everything I asked, and made the whole experience stress-free. It really put me at ease knowing my dog was in good hands. I would definitely use him again!”

About: Hi! I’m Leah:) I’m a current cat mama, and a previous large and small dog owner, who loves all kinds of pets. I was able to grow up on a farm and during that time I bred AKC registered German shepherd puppies with a family member. I have been working with all kinds of animals for multiple years and am able to work well with pets of all ages and breeds. I have been to a dog training course and would love to share my love with your sweet furry friend. I will try to accommodate their typical day with you and will work towards making them feel comfortable and loved. Can’t wait to meet new furry friends! :) I work three days out of the week in the counseling field, so I have four days where I can be dedicated to your precious pup or kitten! I have plenty of time during those four days, so I am able to provide plenty of play time, potty breaks, and walks. If your pet comes to stay with me, then I live in a gated community and have a security camera in my home to insure pet safety. I live in a highly populated dog park area with lots of places to take your pet! I grew up on a farm, so I am prepared to take care of any kind of pet in your home and love play time! I also love to send you photos and videos of your fur baby if you ask. :)

About: In this house, pets are treated like family members. They get all the love, attention, and snuggles (of course) that they deserve. Experience includes puppy and senior care. Over the summer months, I’m not working allowing for open flexibility to tend to pet needs. During school months, I work from home with ample breaks and opportunities for frequent walks and attention. Dogs are always walked on leashes. There are plenty of grassy areas within my complex for walking with a dog park included. I provide particular and full attention to the pets needs and meet the desires established by the owner. I go over and beyond in showering love/attention and ensuring safety.

“Marc was wonderful! Our pups were very happy with him! Thank you Marc!”

“Justine was wonderful with my fur babies and very thorough! She was able to get my shyest cat to play and that says a lot about her. I appreciate the time and effort she spent with my boys and I will continue to trust her with them in the future!”

About: I have watched dogs for many of my friends families and I have a dog of my own. I love animals and i hope to meet your fur baby soon! I dog sat and babysat when I was in high school but I have been a pet owner for almost 20 years. I have school Monday-Thursday and some online classes, so I am pretty open to every weekday coming to play with your pets. I would also love the exercise and the opportunity to meet new dogs. I will treat your pet with the same respect,love,and care that I would show my own pet.I am very strong on that pets are smart and know exactly what we are saying so I assure you that I will not touch or even speak to your pet in a way that I wouldn’t want someone treating my pet.

“Anna did a great job taking care of my golden retriever and golden doodle while I went on a quick last minute trip! They absolutely loved their time with her! Thank you for taking such good care of my boys!”

“Danielle comes by twice a week to check in on my pup while I’m at work and I get such peace of mind from her frequent updates and pictures. My dog also gets so excited to see her each week! I find it difficult to trust people with my dog but Danielle is very trustworthy, reliable and knowledgeable on dogs/dog behaviors.”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of personal attention and care I give to each pet. I take time to learn their routine, quirks and comfort needs so they feel safe and loved while you’re away. I have experience with both tiny puppies and kittens feeding bottles. To senior pets who need a little extra patience and gentle care. I’m reliable, attentive to detail, and treat every animal like my own—making sure they get plenty of love, playtime, and comfort no matter their age or energy level. While working part- time at D6 teaching. I take on a few side jobs, I am a nanny, house sitter and decal maker have more free time and availability! I have one dog and three outdoor cats. I also have a large fenced in backyard with lots of room to play and make themselves at home!

About: I have had dogs all of my life since I was 4 years old. I didnt start to take up the responsibility to take care of them until I was about 7 or 8 years old. I have had a range of dog breeds and sizes in my care from a golden retriever to a toy Aussie. I love take care, play and just hang out with animals. I currently work as a middle school teacher so my summers are pretty free! Whether it’s a one day check in or a vacation, I will happily spend my summer with your pups! I will follow whatever needs you have for your dog(s) whether I have to house sit, walk, or just hang out with your animal for the day. I want to make sure you are comfortable with the care I give them.

“Ted was amazing with our pups! He made sure to send lots of pictures and play with them while we were gone. He is great with them and we are so thankful for his attention.”

About: I’m very reliable and caring with all pets. I pay close attention to their needs and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I have experience caring for both puppies and senior pets, including following routines, giving extra attention, and handling basic training or special care when needed. I am currently in school part time so I’m pretty flexible for the most part! I have classes every weekday until about 12:20 in the afternoon. I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I make sure they are fed on time, have fresh water, get plenty of playtime and exercise, and receive lots of attention. I keep their space clean and safe, follow any instructions the owner provides, and give updates to make sure owners feel comfortable while they’re away.

About: My résumé includes dogs, cats, muddy boots, mystery noises in barns, and convincing animals that the thing they absolutely do not want to do is actually a great idea. I've learned that patience, consistency, and a pocket full of treats or a favorite toy solve most problems. Animals have always been a huge part of my world. On any given day, I might be caring for horses, spending time with my dogs and cats, or helping a nervous animal feel comfortable in a new situation. I understand that every pet is different. Some want a long walk and a game of fetch. Some want a quiet companion who respects their space. Some have very strong opinions about breakfast arriving precisely on time. I have experience caring for animals of all ages, from energetic youngsters to seniors who need a slower pace and a little extra patience. I'm comfortable with large dogs, multi-pet households, and pets with established routines that need to be followed carefully. Friends often describe me as observant and dependable. I pay attention to details, communicate clearly, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal's personality. Whether your pet is an adventure buddy, a professional napper, or a lovable troublemaker, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you're away. As a lifelong animal owner, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets. I will treat them with the same attention and respect I give my own. I currently have flexible availability most days of the week and can often accommodate pet care requests around my existing animal care responsibilities. Caring for animals is already a part of my daily routine, so I understand the importance of consistency, communication, and showing up when expected. Beginning in August, my availability will shift as I start graduate school, and I will primarily be available on Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays. I believe in being upfront about scheduling and only accepting bookings that I can fully commit to, so you can count on reliable care and clear communication. Every pet has their own routine, and I do my best to follow it as closely as possible. During drop-in visits, I make sure pets have fresh water, meals (if needed), potty breaks, exercise, and attention tailored to their personality. Some pets want to play, some want belly rubs, and some prefer a quiet companion who respects their space. For walks, I focus on safety, consistency, and making sure your dog gets both physical exercise and mental stimulation. I pay attention to weather conditions, energy levels, and each dog's comfort and confidence. I also keep an eye on the little things. As someone who has cared for animals for many years, I know that changes in appetite, energy, mobility, or behavior can be important. If I notice something unusual, I will communicate it promptly. In a client's home, I respect both the pet's routine and the household itself. My goal is for your pet to feel comfortable and cared for while you're away, and for you to come home to a happy pet and a home just as you left it.

“Wonderful meet & greet!”

About: With two decades of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and energy levels, I genuinely love helping your furry friends stay happy, active, and loved while you're away. My services are more than just walks—they’re moments of joy, gentle play, positive reinforcement, and routines customized to each dog's unique personality and needs. Whether your pup enjoys a brisk hike or a calm, sniff-filled stroll, I’m committed to providing a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment. You can trust me to keep you updated with frequent photos and messages, so you can feel at ease knowing your beloved companion is in caring and capable hands. Providing loving and attentive care for senior pets and those with special medical needs. I am compassionate and skilled in administering medications, whether oral or injectable, and I am patient and gentle with pets facing mobility challenges. My goal is to ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved, while maintaining their routine and reducing any anxiety in your absence. Thanks to my flexible work-from-home schedule, I can cherish the opportunity to care for your pet in a more attentive and loving way. Being home most of the day means I can provide your pet with consistent potty breaks, engaging playtime, and comforting companionship. I can adjust my daily routine to meet your pet's unique needs, whether it's taking a mid-afternoon walk or sharing cozy cuddle moments on the couch. This flexibility allows me to nurture your pet’s well-being and meet their emotional and physical needs, which is so important for a happy, healthy life. When your beloved pets stay with me, they are welcomed into a warm and safe environment where they feel loved and cared for as part of my family. I understand how important their comfort and happiness are, which is why I focus on providing a gentle, consistent routine that helps ease any stress. To give each pet the love and attention they deserve, I only board 4 dogs at a time to ensuring they receive my full dedication, companionship, and plenty of playful interaction. During their stay, they will be pampered with lots of affection, regular potty breaks, meals tailored to their needs, and enriching activities to keep their minds and bodies happy. I also believe in keeping you connected, so I send frequent updates with photos and videos, giving you peace of mind and confidence that your precious companion is enjoying a joyful, stress-free stay.

About: I have grown up around animals and have been a cat and dog mom for many years now. I have experience with house sitting, drop in visits, walking, some training and administration of oral medicine for both dogs and cats. Being a caretaker is in my blood, I am extremely grateful to be able to share my experiences with my clients and look forward to meeting you and your pets. My availability has changed recently due to getting a part time job and being a part time college student but I am still available during the afternoons for walks and drop ins. If you’re interested in any of my services, send a message and I’d be happy to set up a meet and greet. It’s a great time for us to get to know each other and for me to meet you and your pet. :) I don’t currently offer boarding however, for house sitting clients I ensure to keep an open dialogue with the owners on their pets well being and care during the visit. If I see that your pet is uncomfortable at anytime during my visit, I make sure to ask the pet parents about triggers or other quirks that may be causing their pets reaction.
