“Kelly is wonderful! Punctual, A+ communication always cheerful. Most importantly, my pup has a tail that wags like crazy when he sees her coming up our walkway! HIGHLY recommend!”
“Susan was great. She sent us pics of playing ball with Lexi while we were at the beach and Lexi seemed to really like her. Susan was on time and a pleasure to work with. We hope to use her much more this summer!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages—from playful puppies and kittens to gentle seniors with special needs. With a lifetime of experience raising and nurturing pets (including bunnies, hamsters, and guinea pigs!), I’ve learned how to tune in to each animal’s unique personality and needs. I’m a stay at home wife. I work part time for my husband so in my free time I love to spend time with my own pup. But love to help out others who may not have a lot of free time of their own. When caring for pets in your home, I respect your space and follow your routine to keep things consistent for your fur baby. I’m very detail-oriented and happy to handle feedings, walks, playtime, medication, and extra care for senior or special-needs pets. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you know your pet is safe, loved, and in good hands.
“She came through last minute for me on a same day request, that really helps a guy like me where hours worked can vary quite a bit. Also met May's long time and first friend Ulysses on her walk, which it looked they were all happy. Definitely be booking again when I'm in need 👌”
“So happy to have found Kristen! My two dogs are very anxious and Kristen took the time to come meet them prior to the first visit. She played ball with the dogs and was patient with them as they got used to a new human!”
“I thought it was awesome that Brian took the time to come over and meet me and my dog prior to their first walk together. My dog instantly took to Brian. Brian was dependable, positive and conscientious. It felt great knowing Radar was in good hands while I worked a few long days in a row.”
