“Melanie is a true animal lover, kind, and caring person. I felt very safe and secure going away for a few days and having her take care of my dogs and home. She was aware and asked questions that helped me know my dogs were in great hands. So glad to have found Melanie and look forward to having her watch my dogs again in the future!”

About: Hi I’m Kenzie! I’d love to pet/doggy sit or walk your dogs! I love dogs all breeds and sizes! When I was little I had helped my dad with taking care of and fostering dogs and finding them good homes. I also used to doggy sit my cousins golden retriever and took her out on walks whenever I could. Also I occasionally take care of my friends dogs when they go out of town so I have some experience with this 😁 your pets will be in great hands and I’ll make sure to tend to all their needs and treat them kindly as if they were my own😁give me a call If you need a dog sitter/walker, I’d love to help you out with your doggies!

“We had Jazlyn house sit our 3 puppies for 5 days while we were out of town. We have a puppy with an autoimmune disease who can’t go to a kennel and needs meds so it’s nice to have someone come in and stay with them. She kept the house very clean, could barely tell she was here. She was nice enough to bring in a package for me and water the small patio garden once and throw some laundry in the dryer for me that didn’t finish running before we had to leave. We had a little issue with communication and updates. Also our high energy dog did not get walked as agreed. She did tell us the day we were coming home that she was leaving a little early because she hadn’t been feeling well so maybe that is the reason for the issues. Overall it went well and they were happy to see us when we got home.”

About: Leash up! New clients welcome—let’s walk and wag! 🐾 Hi there! I’m Breanna—a lifelong animal lover raised on a farm, where caring for animals was second nature. I’m a nurse and now a stay-at-home mom who finds deep joy in looking after all kinds of pets and animals. When I’m with your dog, I don’t just walk or watch—I engage. I incorporate light training to reinforce good behavior, and I love taking candid, high-quality photos that my clients always rave about. The pictures are often their favorite part! Plus, I like to bring fresh carrots from my garden for treats and no matter what I make sure there is always fresh water in their bowl! With a flexible schedule, I’m able to offer reliable, attentive care tailored to your pet’s needs—whether that’s dogs, cats, birds, fish, or just about any animal needing love and support. Have a pet with special needs? I’ve got experience there too. I cared for our 6.5 yo Saint Bernard with severe medical needs for many years and I’m comfortable working with animals who require extra patience and understanding. Being a nurse has made me very attentive to animals needs! I know they’re your babies—because mine are too. They can’t tell us what they need, so it’s our job to show up with love, patience, and care they can feel. Can’t wait to hear from you! I have a very wide open schedule seven days a week to help care for your pet. Walking is such a necessity for my life and I find that this schedule fits perfectly into that! Here to help! 🤲🏼 We live on a third acre lot in town with a large wooden fence, dogs live inside, but enjoy the outdoors in the backyard. In order to stay at our home, I will be very particular to the dog because it is important for my dogs (Thunder & Murray.) I would love to establish a small cliental of individuals that are comfortable bringing the furbaby to our house for the consistency of everyone.

About: I can walk, feed, bathe, and play with dogs. I have taught my dogs how to sit. I love animals and taking care of them. I will give them the best care possible! I’m currently working part-time so my hours are very open. I’m a student here at USD staying over the summer. My dogs live in Arkansas with my parents and I miss them a lot. A few minutes with your animals will bring me happiness! I live in an apartment with no other animals but my lease doesn’t allow animals. I can easily go to your house and pet sit/walk. I have a leash and treats as well!

Alex is are go-to from now on, we absolutely adore her!”

Breanna N.
“As long as I have known Breanna, her heart has been for animals. Dogs, cats, calves, pigs, you name it, she loves them, and has a very special connection with them from the moment she meets them. She realizes that anything you do for a pet is a labor love, whether it be walking them, brushing them, feeding them, or bathing them, as she understands that they are totally dependent on you. If you are looking for a trustworthy person to care for your furbaby, you will not be disappointed in the care that she offers.”
