Kiersten was very prompt. Spent the agreed amount of time with our dog. Everything was done according to directions. Our dog, who can be skittish with some people, enjoyed her visit.

About: I love dogs. I have a rescue her name is Snickers and shes 7 months old. I've had dogs all my life. How anyone can hurt man's best friend is beyond me. She is like my child and makes me smile, keeps me company and I dont know what I would do without her. I love her with all my heart and wouldnt trade her for the world. I would treat anyone's dog like I would my own. They are all special in their own way. I would be honored to take care of your dog, I look forward to meeting you very soon. Thank you, Robin K I work full time at home and I'm able to walk my dog and take her out anytime! I'm available all day. My Snickers would love a play mate. I dont have crate but if yours needs one you'll have to bring it. I'm very diligent in taking my pup out all day long.

Danielle was great! I would highly recommend. My boarding place fell through last minute due to a scheduling mix up. I was able to book Danielle only a few days in advance. My dog, Nala, was so happy when I got home. You can tell she had lots of care and love! I always appreciate when people make connections with my animals. It makes the dress of leaving animals during travel a bit easier.

Amanda was amazing with our two cats! She dropped in to check on them, feed them, clean the box, and give one of our cats medicine. She always stayed to play with them and she went above and beyond to clean up after them. They loved having her around!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs my entire life, from childhood through adulthood. I’ve looked after my own dogs as well as my mom’s and other family members’ dogs, giving me experience with different breeds, energy levels, and routines. I’m active and enjoy walks—especially longer walks for dogs who need extra exercise or endurance. I’m detail-oriented, follow owner instructions closely, and understand how important consistency is. I also have experience administering medication and providing attentive, reliable care. Your dog’s safety, happiness, and routine always come first As a parent, I maintain a reliable and flexible schedule. I am consistently available during school hours every week. In addition, on alternating weeks, I have open availability Monday through Sunday, allowing for extended care, walks, and last-minute requests during those weeks. Your pet’s safety comes first. I’m detail-oriented with medications and care instructions and always follow owner guidelines closely. I choose safe environments for walks and play and care for every animal with patience, attentiveness, and the same level of responsibility I would give my own.

Andrea goes above and beyond my expectations every time she visits! I work long shifts and not only does she take great care of my girl which gives me such a peace of mind, but she went the extra mile and shoveled my walkway. Coming home after a very busy and long 24 hour shift, I was almost in tears seeing that she had shoveled for me!

About: I have grown up with dogs and when adopting our most recent pup, Jax, I quickly realized he was a pup that required more than just a couple walks a day, so we got into running together daily. I offer dog running or walking and look forward to meeting your fur babe(s)! I am currently available Mondays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays for dog walks, runs and drop-in visits and pet sitting Saturday thru Monday. I currently have limited availability Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays but would be happy to discuss scheduling with you! I am very reliable and I will provide water and treats as needed. I will show up regardless of snow or inclement weather. We can customize walks or runs based on your preference of on vs off leash.
