“Abigail did a great job taking care of taking care of our dogs. She followed our care instructions and gave us peace of mind that they would be walked and fed when we were out for the day. We will definitely use her services again and highly recommend her.”


“Harley was great with my boy, Apache. The walk was a very last minute thing, but she was more than happy to accommodate to us. She even spent some time with him in the house because weather cut the walk short. She is outstanding at what she does! We will definitely be repeat customers! 😊”


About: I have cared for and been around dogs throughout my whole life. I have always had a passion for animals! I love to run and play with dogs that have as much energy as I do or even just hangout on the couch and enjoy a relaxing day. I want to meet all of your pets needs even in last minute circumstances so that their humans can enjoy a stress free experience! Traveling and unexpected situations can be difficult and I want to make sure your pet is comfortable. I’m familiar with caring for senior dogs, puppies, and dogs with special needs. I currently make my own work schedule and have extremely flexible days. I’m always willing to adjust when needed. I love all sizes and breeds so I can accommodate any energy level as well I have a very loving and super friendly puppy of my own who would love to keep your pet company! We go for lots of walks throughout the day and get lots of time outside. I have cats as well that are very friendly with dogs but they can also be kept away in their own space if need be!

About: I have watched multiple types of dogs including: shih tzu, Yorkies, Pomeranian, lab, poodles, redbones, border collie, boxers, pit bulls, jack Russells, and Chihuahuas. I have bathed, cut hair/ nails, brushed, and given medicine to many dogs. I have fed, watered, walked, ran, and scratched dogs. I have kept multiple dogs overnight, during the day and in the evening. I have taken dogs to the vet, let them out periodically, and just stopped by to give them some attention also! In the end, I really truly do love all dogs and I just want to give them the love and attention they deserve. I have availability through out most evenings from 4pm - 11pm. I could also do some earlier in the morning for a couple hours with enough notice. Weekends I’m fully free. I can also do overnight and then morning drop offs if needed. Or I could keep them at my house during the day and stop by a few times to let them out (I’m right next door)! I will give them food / water / medicine when directed. I will give them treats when deserved or directed. I will take them on walks, play with them, and let them out periodically to use the bathroom. I will give them lots of cuddles and scratches if that’s something they are interested in!

About: Just starting my experience taking care of animals. I love animals and pets and have a cat and dog of my own. I am very responsible and patient and ready for any challenge. It will be just me attending to the pets. I work in retail but have many free days and half days off due to recently graduating. Many mornings or nights work for me if they align with my schedule. I have a dog who I take care of with my mom, we take him out multiple times daily and also have a grass pad for him inside just incase, we also have a cat we take care of who has a litter box that I clean daily and both pets get wet food and dry food everyday and water. We spend plenty of time daily with each pet and play with them plenty aswell. I’m very patient and don’t mind cleaning up any messes.

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 8 years old, volunteering at local shelters and helping family, friends, and neighbors with pet sitting. Over the years, I’ve gained experience with dogs of all ages, including senior pets—my own pup is getting older, so I understand the patience and gentle care they need. I’m also comfortable with basic grooming tasks like bathing and brushing. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I treat every pet like they’re family. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy and take seriously. I’m currently out of school with open availability after 10 AM and on weekends. Even when school resumes in the fall, I’ll make sure pet care fits into my schedule. You can count on me to treat your pets with love and attention. I do not board pets in my home, but I’m happy to care for your pets in their own familiar environment. I offer in-home pet sitting, potty breaks, and walks throughout the day as needed. I always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine, and I strive to create a calm, loving environment where they feel secure and cared for. You can trust me to treat your pets with the same love and attention I would give my own.

“Maddie was great! We did a phone meet and greet to get her familiar with Sydney's care instructions and for me to answer any questions. She was great at communicating and sent photos of their time together. I will definitely use her again.”


About: I have such a love for animals. I speak to them at all times, even when they’re passing by with their humans and I just tell the animal to have a great day. They make me so very happy, and I love to make them happy. I have 2 cats of my own and 5 niece and nephew dogs I have cared for and spoiled rotten for many years. I don’t get tired of playing, feeding, singing, or walking animals. I have just left a very emotionally draining job, caring for elderly humans and ensuring their happiness is always met. Now I’m ready to start fresh and have free time to care for your (furry) loved ones and ensure they are happy and healthy. I am comfortable caring for pets however they (and you) are comfortable with our visits. Their wants and needs is what’s important to me, and I will do my best to do what is needed.
