“Leaving my pupper with Angela was a very comforting experience. My puppy has not had many interactions with other dogs, but she got along well with hers! She sent me many cute pictures and updated me on my puppy's comfort level. I will definitely be leaving my upper with her again:)”


“Henry and Cheryle were very caring and loving with our dog Roger. They treated him like their own dog. Roger got to go on walks in the woods, and even got a bath. We are very content and satisfied with Henry and Cheryle’s care for Roger. I highly recommend them as pet sitters. If I could, I wouldn’t give them five stars, but ten instead. Thank you so much!!!!!!”


“This is Rambo’s second home. He really loves it there and has so many friends. He goes on lots of walks and clearly loves them. I feel like I’m dropping him off at his grandparent’s house. LOL. Thanks again Linda and David. ❤️”


About: I always grew up with my own animals and knew I wanted to to be a veterinarian one day. When I was in high school I started my own dog walking business to make some money and then heard a doggy daycare was opening up in town. I was the first to apply! I worked there for a while until I started at a local veterinarian at 16. Now I am going into my second year of vet school and wanted a way to fill some of my free time. Due to my busy class schedule I only have a cat right now, so I really enjoy spending extra time with dogs! My goal is to adopt a pit bull mix by the end of vet school because they have a special place in my heart! Over the past seven years, I’ve had the privilege of working with animals in a variety of settings from general care to specialty medicine to emergency and my passion for them only continues to grow. I'm skilled in administering medications and injections, caring for both puppies and senior pets, assisting with more challenging or nervous animals, and understanding dog behavior and body language. During the school year my schedule does vary Monday through Friday as labs are different days/times every week, however, they are only two hours long so I am flexible for the rest of the day! I really enjoy hanging out with animals as a study break! I also keep my schedule up to date on Rover! I'm available most days. Just message me about times and I will get back to you as soon as possible! I currently live in an apartment. I have one cat and my roommate has a cat. They both do well with dogs and will mainly keep to themselves and stay in our rooms. We are trying to socialize them more to dogs to get them more comfortable for when we adopt one in the next year! In our apartment we have two floors so we can keep the animals together when we are home and then separate them with a baby gate when we go out. There is a large unfenced backyard behind my apartment that is a communal space and lots of walking trails around including the Huckleberry Trail!

“Kurt is very caring and responsible every time we leave our Golden Retriever with him. He’s thoughtful to send us photos while we’re away and is a great communicator. Thanks Kurt, we appreciate you!”


“Liam was awesome! He took great care of our beloved Cooper. He played with him, took him for nice walks, sent pictures and videos and followed all of our instructions. We felt really comfortable with Liam and we would definitely reach out to him again in the future. Thank you Liam!”


“Nancy was fantastic! This was the first time we were leaving snoopy with her and as soon as we met with her my husband and I knew that snoopy would be taken care of. She didn’t mind him sleeping with her and that meant everything to me because snoopy has always slept with us. She sent us pictures and videos, of our baby boy playing and have a great time with some of her other dogs she was watching. She walked snoopy for us and he loves to be outside! We love that she has a fenced in yard! Overall she is the best at taking wonderful care of our boy!! Thank you so much Nancy we appreciate you so much!! snoopy was exhausted and slept for hours when we got home! We will be leaving our baby boy with her from now on! If I could give her more than 5 stars I would! ???”

“Veronica is great!She truly enjoyed caring for our dog Niko and sent us photos/videos everyday. It was clear he received lots of love and playtime inside and outside of the house. Would love to have him stay again. Thanks so much!!”


“Shannon took great care of our Bernedoodle puppy! She was happy to keep our puppy’s usual routine so that the adjustment to a new place for a few days was as easy a possible. Shannon was very easy to communicate with and sent us lots of pictures and updates on how everything was going. Our pup came home very happy and had a great time playing with Shannon’s other dogs. We will definitely be booking with her again!”


“Walt kept our boy, Teddi, for four days. Teddi is a 3 yo intact English Shepherd who has never spent a night away from us. Teddi is a very well behaved and friendly boy but we were a bit anxious how this would go. Walt kept us well informed on how Teddi was doing. Walt gave Teddi great care and a lot of attention. When we returned to pick up Teddi, it was obvious that he and Teddy had bonded very well. We are very pleased with the care that Walt provided and will certainly use him again.”


“Nancye is absolutely amazing! She loved and spoiled our Josey as if he was her own. I loved that we had the opportunity to have a meet and greet before we took our trip. She took him on walks. He loves car rides and she took him to get ice cream with her getting him a pup cup. It was our 1st time leaving him with someone new and she sent us pictures and updated all along the way. Nancye has such a love for fur babies and it shows. Would definitely recommend her.”


“We are so happy we have finally found a caring home for our boys. Emily is so nice and took great care of Jax and Louie. She sent us so many pictures every day so we were able to see them while we were gone. We will definitely take them to Emily again.”
