“Tara is the sweetest. I was able to ask lots of questions and feel very comfortable with what to expect. She loved on my dog before heading out which allowed me to know she was in good hands. Will be booking again for sure.”

“Cynthia was great! She even ran with my dog which tired her out!”

“Ashely is genuinely so great, she always takes the cutest pics i’m so obsessed and has helped me out last minute a few times. Highly recommended, the other week she helped out and my grandfather was telling the dog she couldn’t leave, Ashley thought he was talking to her and offered to help him out. I was crying laughing when he told me but she’s a sweetheart!”

About: I’ve taken care of family, friends and neighbors dogs since i was younger. I love learning new things about your dog or cat and finding ways i can help. My personal dog has diabetes, I have to give her insulin shots every morning and night after she eats. I’ve been giving her shots for about 3 years now. If your dog needs any shots I have personal experience giving them. I work part time, but i’ve had a lot more time on my hands, so i would love to help take care of your dog and or cat. I feed, play, take walks, bathe, cuddle, and give lots of attention when they want it. I give them their space when they want it.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and a cat my entire life, so caring for animals comes very naturally to me. I take pride in being dependable, attentive, and communicative, and I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. I’d love to provide a safe, loving, and reliable experience for them while you’re away. I currently work from home, which allows me to have a very flexible schedule. I’m available before and after work, and I also have a flexible lunch break that I can adjust as needed for walks, drop-ins, or check-ins. This flexibility allows me to give your pets consistent attention and care throughout the day. I enjoy staying active and going on walks, and I’m more than happy to check in on your pet throughout the day. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own environment, while following any routines or instructions you provide.

“Kelly is kind, gentle, punctual, and trustworthy!! I had shoulder surgery so Kelly came over daily to walk my two dogs. One day, there were several emergency vehicles blocking my street. Kelly couldn’t get through with her car so she went home, got her bike, and made it to my house. Dedication and perseverance. Thank you, Kelly!”

“Jim did a great job walking Eilidh while I was recovering from surgery. He always texted to let me know when he was on his way and was flexible when I needed to adjust times. He even took Eilidh to/home from daycare one day. He gave her a lot of affection and brought her treats (which she loved). I will definitely use Jim again if I have a need.”

About: I have experience with senior dogs, so I am comfortable with slow walks and can recognize signs of discomfort. I am extremely patient and understanding when it comes to senior dogs and their specific routines, whether they need extra breaks or gentle guidance. Puppies are absolutely no problem either! I truly love spending time with dogs of all ages and will treat yours with the same care and attention I give my own. Since I am on summer break from UMW, my schedule is very flexible. I can accommodate mid-day walks, early morning check-ins, or overnight house sitting to ensure your pet never feels lonely Every pet's safety is my top priority.

I know how much peace of mind matters, so I make sure to follow instructions perfectly and send plenty of updates so you know your pet is safe and having a good time.
