About: I have experience providing pet care for a variety of dogs, including short visits to let them out and extended stays while their owners are away. I’ve helped with feeding, walking, administering medications, and giving plenty of playtime and affection to keep pets happy and comfortable. Whether it’s a quick check-in or a multi-week dog-sitting arrangement, I take pride in being dependable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s unique needs and routine. We currently own an energetic dog who loves people, pets, and anything in between. My husband and I are currently home full time and can provide ample attention, love, and snuggles with your pet! We have plenty of time for daily walks as well. We have a fenced in yard with plenty of room for your pup to run around. We also have a friendly two year old husky mix with a ton of energy who can keep your dog busy.

About: I have lived dog with multiple dogs my whole life. I have 5 years of experience in the veterinary world that has broadened my horizon to the variety of breeds out there and the different requirements they need. I also specialize in medicating our furry friends in the most stress-free way possible. I have experience training my own service dog from 8 weeks old to present and continue to keep his training up to date. I also specialize in hospice care for our are geriatric puppies, because no matter how old they are, they are always puppies to us. I am currently pet sitting for people Part-Time. my goal is to make caring for animals my full-time job. While I continuemaking commissioned pet portraits! Along with other commissions for various prints and paintings. At my house, dogs will eat separately from other dogs for safety and have long line leash walks for potty breaks. If a pet is known to have toy aggression, toys will be taken out of the equation. I do have a service dog that comes with me everywhere including my clients homes. If a client 's pet is dog aggressive or the cats are scared of dog, I will not have my service dog interact with them to give comfort and safety for all.

“Rebecca was great! I will definitely be booking with her again. She came over to take Finn out on a walk since I had an after work event and couldn't get home in between. She still took him on a full walk even though it was raining hard and toweled him off and hung up his gear to dry which made my life so much easier!”

“Plan on using Kathleen again”


Deven & Tyreek C.
“Deven was absolutely phenomenal with my dog! From the moment they met, I could tell she truly has a gift when it comes to caring for animals. My pup can be a little particular, but Deven was incredibly patient, gentle, and attentive to his needs. She sent regular updates, photos, and made sure I always felt reassured that my dog was in the best hands possible. What really stood out is how Deven treated him like he was her own. My dog came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. It’s hard to find someone you trust with your fur baby—but with Deven, I never had a single worry. She’s truly special, and any pet would be lucky to be under her care. I can’t recommend her enough!”


sabrina s.
“Sabrina kept my 3 Dachshunds for a month at my home and did a great job. I have a ring camera and I know she took them out as requested and on schedule. They each had different medications they needed and she gave them their meds. Sabrina is such a loving dog sitter and am so glad she kept my boys. She sent me pics every few days as I was missing them. I could tell they were being loved and well cared for. The boys love her and her dog Comet, who also stayed too. While we were gone she worked with them to teach them not to bark at the door. She desensitized them to knocks and rings. Before, if they heard a knock or ring, they would bark like crazy and it took a long time to get them to be quiet. Now they hear a knock or ring and they bark but when I do what she showed me, they stop quickly and quiet down right away. I just loved having her keep my dogs. When I got home my house was just as clean as I left it. That was also very important to me. She is my go to person from now on.”

She always showed up on time, gave him plenty of love, and made sure he got his meds too. Her updates were thorough and thoughtful—I always felt Max was in great hands.”


Sarah K.
“Sarah has kept my dog several times. She is very gentle and patient with my fur baby. She treats her like family and my dog loves going to her house.
