“Jessica & Chris are wonderful, they humored me with a meet & greet and right away the dogs were comfortable. I got lots of texts and pictures which made me smile so much. They provide the same love my husband and I would give my three girls. For years I boarded my dogs and now with a third it's quite expensive and honestly I have never been in love with the idea because the feedback so often is negative. I feel my babies are themselves and much happier in their own home. I'm very happy to have found Jessica and will look forward to asking for their help in the future. Thank you for everything!”

“Theresa was great! We felt supported so we could enjoy a huge family event and not worry about our pups. She came on time and took them for a walk and tucked them back in. We highly recommend her.”

About: Hi, I'm Rusty! I've spent my entire life caring for dogs and truly believe that pets are family, deserving only the best walks and care. With experience handling a wide variety of breeds, sizes, and needs, I’m ready to offer your dog the attention they deserve. As a recent retiree, I now have the time and passion to help your pups live their best life! 🐶 I have recently retired, so I have a very flexible schedule! I am available for dog walks and drop-in visits on weekdays between 8:00 A.M. and 3:00 P.M. I treat dogs with the same love and care as any family member. Each day, I ensure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. Whether it's a morning walk or playtime in the yard, I make sure they’re always happy and comfortable. I am attentive to their individual needs, providing them with a routine that keeps them healthy and active. I also make sure the dogs have fresh water at every visit. Above all, I believe in building a strong bond based on trust, love, and mutual respect, making sure they feel safe and loved every single day.

About: I’ve taken care of my personal dogs as well as friends and family dogs for years now. I am experienced with dogs of all sizes, as well as all personalities. I am familiar with low energy and high energy breeds, and know how to cater to each of them. I also specialize in dogs that have anxiety as well as reactivity, and know how to monitor their behavior and understand them in a way that most humans and other animals do not. I currently work full time, Monday-Friday so all animals would need to be able to be home alone for around 8-9 hours during the weekdays. My current hours are 6:30am-3pm, so I make a point to be available in the morning before I leave for work, and then after I return from work. This also applies to drop-ins. I make a point to be fully available on weekends since I am away often during the weekdays, but am also home early enough during the week that I can spend the afternoon, evening, and night with your furry little ones. I will care for your pets by following the owners’ and pets’ needs, I never stray from instructions. I will ensure safety precautions are always taken, as your animals safety is my highest priority.

“She was great with the dogs and did the job she was supposed to do. She also brought in a package and was clear with communication and attentive to our concerns. Also took on the job same day with an hour notice when another person canceled, would def recommend and use again .”

About: Other than owning dogs my whole life, my pet care experience has expanded through working with Educating Canines Assisting with Disabilities (ECAD) and through personal connections to house sit and take care of a variety of animals! My experience at ECAD included basic to extensive training puppies to 2 year old dogs, potty training, bathing dogs, understanding the importance of mental stimulation in dogs, playtime, dog walking (and training on how to walk / heel), understanding behavior (signs of enjoyment / fear / stress / separation anxiety, feeling threatened) with how to accommodate them, and cuddles of course! I also take care of senior dogs who require extra care and love and understand the importance of one-on-one care. I also have experience taking care of high energy dogs, dogs with medications, high maintenance dogs, multiple dogs, and different animals as well. I have taken care of a mixture of dogs, cats, lizards, etc simultaneously! I am always called to house sit for friends and family, whether it be for a drop-in visit, a walk, an overnight stay (one night, a weekend, or a whole week). I even was asked to watch a french bulldog while someone was using the bathroom at an airport! I have been told that I ensure trust in the owners and always give them a sense of relief during my stay and that they never have to think twice about their pets being taken care of and their home. I provide numerous check-ins during each day of my stay, plenty of pictures, and I am adaptable to changes in care / schedules when need be! I will treat your pet as one of my own! I understand the stress of a busy schedule and making sure your pet(s) are cared for is extremely important. Pet care fits into my daily / weekly routine due to the personal experience of owing multiple dogs at once and through my professional experience at ECAD. I understand the significance of making sure your pet is happy and well taken care of! I hope to achieve that with you! I care for pets in a clients home just the same as I would for my own pets. I accommodate to the dogs schedule and keep my care as familiar as I can to my clients. I am willing to make sure I keep my client and their pet satisfied and feel at ease. I will update my client numerous times a day, send plenty of pictures, and incorporate any accommodations / needs as necessary. I am extremely flexible and want to keep my client and their pet comfortable. Please let me know any accommodations or needs you have!

“Thomas is quick to respond and is very reliable. I would definitely have him check in/walk my dog again!”

I did cat sitting through a connection and I’ve found to love it. I am understanding of cats and their needs. During weekdays I’m free after 5 but on Weekends I’m free all day. I wish to be as flexible as I can and try to work around your schedule I respect my clients home, I have taken care of a clients home in the past along with their cat. I made sure not to touch anything that I shouldn’t and that most of my attention should be towards the cat and their needs.
