“Barrie was amazing!! She loved our dog like her own and he had the best time! My husband said he didn’t want to leave when he picked him up. She sent us pictures, videos, and updates everyday. We were at ease on our trip leaving him in such great hands. So thankful we found Barrie. We will definitely be back!”
“Paul was great! He accommodated our last minute needs and updated us frequently with pictures. We can tell our dog had a good time under his care. Will definitely use his services next time we are in town.”
“Quick to respond to messages and we appreciated the flexibility when we needed to adjust our scheduled drop off / pick up times. When we dropped our Golden off, she immediately walked off with Brittney without looking back.”
“Shelby was such a great dog sitter for our dog! She sent the best pictures of him enjoying his stay and kept us updated with him on our long weekend trip. Her dogs seemed to be super friendly too and played with ours so we know he was in good hands the whole time!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats ever since I was 13 years old. I was the first person family world call when a pet needed to be taken care off. Because of my educational background on animal biology, I am familiar with the nutritional needs of dogs and cats, what exercises they need to keep on being healthy, and how to make them generally happy. I treat pets like family and love them dearly. I can work most evenings because I work part-time during the day. Additionally, I am available for last minute pet care. I am available all day on Saturday and Sundays. At home, I make sure my two cats have fresh food and water everyday. Additionally, I clean their litter once a day, and change it once a week. Play time takes about 20 minutes throughout the day, depending on the cat’s mood, of course. I love to take dogs on a walk and have play dates with them. I can also clean after themselves.
“Rachel was amazing! She sent us pictures and updates during stay and let us know of any issues our pup was having. My sweet girl has food allergies and Rachel reached out to let us know plus did what she could to help. Will 100% be using her again in the future.”
“Anna did a meet and greet with me at a park beforehand since I’m a nervous dog mom with new sitters. My pup had such a good time playing with new doggy friends she was exhausted when we got home!”

“Lewis is the best! If you are looking for someone to not only watch your beloved fur baby, but someone who will actually take them on walks and care for them, Lewis is your guy. He has been the best communicator on Rover yet! Even sent us pictures. If we lived closer, we would request him every single time. Rook was in such a great mood and we could tell he had been well taken care of. We cannot thank you enough Lewis!”

About: From fostering dogs with heartworm and post-surgery needs to building trust with the most timid rescues, I’ve cared for dogs in all kinds of situations. My experience goes beyond the basics—I understand how to read body language, support anxious pups, and manage specialized routines with patience and care. I hold a PhD in Nutrition, and while my focus has been on human health, I bring that same passion and knowledge to giving animals the healthy, happy lives they deserve. I’m attentive, experienced, and deeply committed to the well-being of every dog in my care. I can’t replace you in your dog’s life, but I can give you both the peace of mind you deserve while you're apart--whether it be for days at a time or just a short walk. I work mostly remotely, which allows me to be present and attentive throughout the day. My own dog gets three walks a day—totaling about 90 minutes—and we rarely miss one. I’m happy to include your dog in those walks or adjust the schedule based on their energy level and routine. Because I’m home most of the time, I can offer a calm, consistent environment and plenty of attention. I’m flexible and always aim to cater to each dog’s individual needs—whether that means playtime, quiet companionship, or extra potty breaks. In my home, pets are treated like family—often even better than the humans! 😄 I live in a spacious two-bedroom apartment, so there’s plenty of room for dogs to feel comfortable and move around freely. Dogs are always welcome on the bed and couches, and I keep fresh water available in every room to make sure they stay hydrated and happy. Whether it’s in my home or yours, I aim to create a calm, cozy environment where each dog feels safe, loved, and completely at ease. I follow any routines or preferences you provide and always pay close attention to each dog’s comfort and well-being.

“It’s not every day that you come across someone as naturally gifted with animals as my son. I’m writing this letter not just as a proud parent, but as someone who has watched him transform a love for dogs into a calling. From a young age, he’s had a quiet, grounded way of connecting with animals that goes far beyond basic care. He doesn’t just walk dogs—he studies them. He watches their body language, notices their routines, and takes time to learn their quirks and comforts. I’ve seen him wake up early to work with shy foster dogs, spending hours with them to rebuild trust and confidence, never rushing the process. Patience is second nature to him. He has taken in fosters others might consider “too much”—those who need extra training, medication, or simply more love than most are willing to give. These dogs don’t just do well under his care—they flourish. He creates a calm, structured environment where animals feel secure and respected. What sets him apart is how seriously he takes this work. He keeps detailed notes on feeding, routines, training goals, and behaviors. He’s the kind of person who will triple-check that a gate is locked, who never forgets a medication dose, and who will send updates and photos without being asked—because he genuinely knows how hard it is to leave a beloved pet behind. If you're looking for someone who treats animals with the same care you'd give a family member—and who brings reliability, skill, and deep understanding to the job—then there’s truly no better person for the job. Sincerely, Angie Rourke (Cody's Mom)”
