About: I've taken care of dogs my whole life. I have raised 3 puppies. I have taken care of elder dogs. I have taken care of cats. I personally have 2 dogs, and 4 cats. I understand how much patience and empathy matters when it comes to taking care of your furry friends, and how they are truly part of the family. Hi, I'm currently in college I take classes 2 days a week. I have weekends and Mondays completely free to help out with your pets needs. I understand I will be a new person in their environment and will take things at their pace. I have my own pets, and I've pet sit before so I'm very experienced and patient with their quirky personalities.

About: I have two dogs of my own, and they are such a big part of my life! I've always had a love for animals, and taking care of my dogs has taught me how important it is to give them plenty of love, patience, and attention. I love going on walks, playing with them, and spending time with them. I know how hard it can be to leave your pets with someone else, so I want you to feel comfortable knowing your dogs are in good hands. I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved just like they would at home! Hopefully, able to do it on weekends. When I’m back from college. Winter break would be when I can do the most. Then I can do more. Safety and trust are extremely important to me because I know pets are one of the most precious parts of our lives. As a pet owner myself, I understand how much love and care goes into keeping our furry friends happy and healthy. I always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they are in my care. I will make sure they have a clean, safe environment, plenty of attention, and everything they need.
“William was great! He was reliable, flexible, understanding, patient and very nice. He did great with my two dogs. One of them requires special attention during walks. Will did exceptional. Definitely will be telling my family and friends about him so they can use him too, I know I will be! Thanks again William!”

“I had the pleasure of having Lilly, walk my Dog Simon 3-4xs a week for 2 months. She was always punctual on timing and if she was ever running behind she would make sure to give a notice. Most importantly I enjoyed seeing Simòn happy upon her arrival, tail wagging through my Furbo Dog camera, she always greeted him with scratches and made sure to give him a treat before leaving. I appreciated the photos during the walks around the neighborhood or if Simòn was being lazy instead of ending the walk she would sit outside with him while he sun bathed giving him scratches. Lilly thank you so much for helping me out during this time!”

I stay organized, patient, and focused on making pets feel safe and comfortable, and I communicate consistently with owners so they always know their pet is in good hands. I build pet care into a structured daily routine, especially in a boarding setting. I’m used to keeping consistent schedules for feeding, walks, potty breaks, and cleaning. I also make sure each pet gets individual attention and monitor their behavior, appetite, and overall comfort. I’m comfortable adjusting routines based on each dog’s needs, including medications, special diets, or different energy levels. Staying organized and attentive is really important to me when caring for multiple pets. I care for pets by following a consistent routine while also adapting to each pet’s individual needs. In my home or a client’s home, I make sure feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, and any medications are followed exactly as instructed. I keep the environment clean and safe, and I spend quality time with each pet so they feel comfortable and not stressed. I also monitor their behavior, appetite, and energy levels, and communicate with the owner if anything seems off.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Yocum. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
