About: I have spent my entire life caring for dogs and cats and have developed a strong understanding of their behavior, body language, and individual needs. My experience ranges from day‑to‑day care to basic training, socialization, and creating safe, positive environments for pets of all temperaments. I am also the owner of a one‑year‑old Doodle named Lexie, whom I personally trained. She is a friendly, well‑socialized dog who loves meeting new companions and will be a wonderful playmate for your pet. Together, we strive to make every animal feel comfortable, engaged, and cared for. *Please note* I am unavailable to care for your pet during the day on weekdays. Evenings and weekends I am free. I currently work M-F during the day but I can offer my services in the evenings and weekends. I'm very flexible and can work with you as long as my work schedule doesn't interfere. I provide a safe, calm, and caring environment for every pet in my home or my client’s home. I believe in treating all animals with kindness, patience, and respect, and I make their comfort and well‑being my top priority. My home features a fully fenced, grassy yard where pets can safely explore, play, and enjoy outdoor time. Whether your pet prefers energetic play or quiet sniffing breaks, I ensure they are supervised at all times. I also have experience with positive‑reinforcement training, including helping dogs learn not to pull on walks. I truly enjoy walking dogs and would be happy to provide your pet with safe, structured, and enjoyable outings tailored to their pace and personality. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and routine will always come first while they are in my care.

Java had a fun time and loved having a buddy to chase around the yard. Gina was responsive and we felt very comfortable with her caring for Java.

We left our dog Flurry with Carolina for a week, and we're thrilled with her! She sent us lots of pictures of what Flurry got up to over the week, from their walks together to hanging out. From what we could tell, Flurry was very happy, he got lots of walks, and was very well taken care of. The best evidence of this? When I picked Flurry up, he was happy to see me--but he was not in a hurry to leave! He seemed very happy, and likely made a new friend with Carolina's dog, who is very friendly. We'd recommend her to anyone, and will definitely get in touch with her again when we need a dog sitter we can rely on. Thanks again, Carolina!

10/10 - Jennifer and Craig were wonderful with my Boxer. They gave him constant love and attention and took him out for multiple walks out in the countryside. They sent me multiple pictures and updates throughout his stay to show me how much fun he was having with them and their own dogs. I will definitely look into having Jennifer and Craig look after my boy Baxter again in the future.

We truly found the best care for our dog Sully with Deanna. His care was second to none, she kept us updated with messages & photos & you could just see how relaxed he was. We cannot wait to rebook with her in the future for Sully!

We had a great experience with Thiago and Nicole! They looked after our boy Bhoora for a full week and took really good care of him. He came back happy, relaxed, and clearly well looked after. You can tell they genuinely care about the dogs they watch. We really appreciate their kindness and would definitely trust them again in the future.

Renita and her husband were so wonderful to my pup, Wrigley. I loved having updates with pictures and videos throughout the day, as he hasn’t been without us much and we were worried how he would be. It was reassuring to see how comfortable he was and they made him feel right at home. I also love that they only take on one dog at a time, so I know he’s getting their full attention. I would absolutly book with them again!

Great experience with Miranda and her family! We particularly appreciated how accommodating and flexible she was with pickup and drop-off times. She made it a very friendly and stress-free experience. Our Willie was a little anxious the first night but they went above and beyond to make him feel comfortable.

Liefe, Eliza and Kiran were great and I had no issues. Basil stayed with them for two weeks and I felt she would have gotten lots of love and attention. They responded in a timely manner when we were scheduling dropping her off and picking her up and let me know when there were issues. I would book with them again.

Victoria is a great communicator and kept us updated on how our Skipper was doing. She has a genuine deep love for animals which she readily shared with Skipper. Her two dogs are very friendly and accepting as well. They seemed to have welcomed Skipper into their pack. I would highly recommend Victoria.

Our 1 year old spaniel has spent lots of time with Ben and his pups, and seems right at home when he’s there. Ben’s love for pets is evident and my boy comes home happy and well taken care of ☺️

Nicole has a genuine gift for caring for animals. I was worried about leaving our two rescue dogs for the first time with someone other than family. She surpassed my expectations by being the absolute best caregiver! We received daily communication and photos of our boys playing, on trail walks, and snuggling up with Nicole. She agreed to a meet-and-greet, and we set up a play afternoon before we left. Communication and organization was stellar! She truly put my worries at ease, and we were able to have a great vacation knowing that our boys were well-cared for. When we picked them up, Nicole even sent us home with some toys that our dogs took a liking to at her house. You can feel that Nicole truly cares for your dogs like they are her own. She put a lot of effort into understanding and accommodating our dog's needs and quirks. Hands-down the best dog sitter I've ever had. Otto and Leo will be back! Otto and Leo send kisses and a big Thank You!
