About: I have taken care of neighbors and friends pets for years. I have been trusted with feeding, walking, bathing, and loving their pets. I am passionate about providing a safe and comfortable atmosphere for pets while their parents are away! I am currently a student, so I would love to hang out with your pet as a study break! My schedule varies week by week, but I will do my best to accommodate your needs. I love to play, walk, and run with my beagle. And when she’s worn out, I love to lay on the couch with her! This extends to all pets. I love playing with them and making sure they get their energy out…and cuddling with them when they’re tired! I adhere to whatever feeding schedule is desired and I constantly ensure they have water!

About: With over 10 years of experience with dogs, I became the go-to person for friends and family — and soon their friends started calling me, too. I’ve also fostered for a local nonprofit animal rescue, though my schedule doesn’t allow me to have my own dog right now. I’ve cared for every kind of pup, from teacup Yorkies to sheepadoodles, and all ages from 3 months to 16 years. I’m comfortable with walks, feedings, baths — and if they need extra patience, daily meds, or a little more cuddle time, I’m here for it. My goal is for your pet to feel just as happy and secure with me as they do with you. My schedule varies since I’m in physician assistant school, but I can always make time! On weekdays, I’m available for walks/ drop-ins in the early mornings, afternoons, or evenings depending on the day. I’m also available most weekends. While I’m not able to board dogs in my home, I’m happy to stay at yours so your pet can stick to their routine and feel comfortable in their own space. I’m super flexible!! I’ll care for your pets exactly the way you do. I follow instructions closely, so everything feels comfortable while you’re away. I’m respectful of your home, keep things tidy, and make sure your pets are safe, happy, and loved!

“Avery is very sweet and attentive to Goldie. She can over early in the first walk to sit and slow Goldie to get comfortable with her. Loved all the photos and feedback about my dog.”


“Emmalee has taken the time to get to know our dog and he has taken to her very quickly and he is a very sensitive soul so that speaks volumes! Really happy and relaxed knowing she is caring for him, would definitely recommend.”


About: Hi! My name is Kat and I have fostered dogs over the last decade. My senior dog, Daisy, is a foster failure. I just fell in love with her chill personality. My puppy, Luna (my little lunatic), is another rescue! Both of my pups play well with others and would love to meet your loved one(s). I have cleaned up more pee, poop, and vomit than I thought I would over the last ten years! Your dog(s) will be in excellent care when hanging out with me. I'm not afraid to get my paws dirty. I'm currently in the midst of changing careers from non-profit marketing work to social work! I'm a full time student (again) and have major flexibility to take care of your loved ones! I live in a second-story apartment in Carytown with access to an unfenced backyard area that's great for quick potty breaks. For longer walks, I love exploring the walkable, dog-friendly streets of Carytown—it's one of my favorite ways to bond with pups! I'm also just a five-minute drive from Barker Field Dog Park, which is a fantastic space for safe, off-leash play if that's something your dog enjoys (with your permission, of course). At home, I prioritize making pets feel comfortable and loved, whether that means sticking to their usual routine, offering lots of snuggles, or making time for play. My two dogs are friendly and love spending time with other dogs, so if your pup is social, they’ll feel right at home.
