About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for the past few years, whether that be mine, my roommates, or friends. I love spending time with animals and giving them the love and attention they deserve. I currently work part time, so I’d love to spend my free time with some lovely animals. I am available most mornings or early afternoons. I will give the utmost care and attention to your pet.

13. Gena & Geoff L.
“We couldn’t be more grateful for the amazing care Gena and Geoff gave our two German Shorthaired Pointers while we were away. Our pups are full of energy, and Gena and Geoff went above and beyond to keep them happy, exercised, and loved. It was clear from the daily updates and photos that they were treated like family and having the best time. We are so doggone happy with choosing Gena and Geoff to watch our babies!”


14. Thomas S.
“Thomas took care of my dog Aladdin while I took a long camping trip to a music festival. I wanted to find someone that I could trust in my house while I was gone so Aladdin would feel comfortable and be able to stay home while I was away. Thomas quickly demonstrated his quality in his interactions with me and I felt totally comfortable giving him a key to get in the house to visit and walk with Aladdin 3 times a day, over the weekend. I stayed away later than expected and Thomas was willing to move his schedule around to provide for my sudden changing needs. I've used him several times now and it's good to know I have Aladdin in good hands whenever I need. Thank you Thomas for loving my dog!”

Animals have been a huge part of our lives since day one and what better opportunity to work with them then making your loved ones have a day great! We will treat your pet with the same respect and love we would give ours and respect your rules provided. Every animal owner wants the best care for their pets when they aren’t home and we can provide that care to make not only you happy but your animal as well. One happy pet makes one happy owner! My fiancé, Josh, works from home and so during the week he will be able to take your dogs on walks or do pop ins at your house. I am available Friday-Sunday in which I will be joining in on all the furry friend activities! We will respect all rules provided on how you would like us to take care of your pet. We are both very active people so taking your dog on walks will be our main source of exercise.
