“Carlee is very kind, responsive, and trustworthy - I'd recommend her to anyone who wants to enjoy a little getaway sans the fur-babies. My dog has some separation anxiety, and she did an excellent job being his keeper - complete with regular updates and photos every time she checked in on him. I had no worries on my weekend trip, knowing that she was watching out for his every need, and I will definitely hire her again in the future!”
About: I have always been the go to person when it comes to pet sitting and dog walking. I have had my own reactive dog for the last 6 years and attend training classes with her every week. Which has helped me learn even more skills when it comes to dog care. I currently only do this. So my schedule is very open. I take my own dog out to play early in the morning because of the summer heat. So once I’ve taken care of mine, I am free! I am comfortable coming to your home. I can either play with your dog at your house, or take them out on a walk. I also love cats and have one of my own. So I am willing to check on cats, give medicine, clean litter boxes, and play.

About: I’ve studied dog behavior and cared for my own two with an attentive focus on meeting their needs to build a bond. I bring calm energy and heightened observation to pick up on cues like hunger, boredom, apprehension, and curiosity. My goal is to use all information provided by the owner to be an effective caretaker. I enjoy dogs in every sense of the word, and hope to build a bond they can rely on when being around me. I am reliable and a prompt responder in owner communications. I am currently available a good percentage of the week as I am typically substitute teaching as a main source of income. During the school year, I am available most weekends (Fri- Sun). My current pets are indoor cats. Both of my dogs lived into their teens but have crossed the rainbow bridge. I have a daily play and engagement routine, a feeding routine, and allow them the space they need to explore or just snooze. When I supervise other pets, I follow the routines defined by the owner and attempt to meet 100% of all pet needs.

“Kiersten is a very good and reliable dog walker. My dog Klay is still learning on the leash and has a tendency to pull. Kiersten exudes a great amount of patience with him, giving him training tips and tidbits along the way. I have noticed improvement in his walking. I was nervous to let someone walk my dog but kiersten has proven extremely responsible and I am so happy that I made the decision to have her walk Klay. Klay gets excited every time he sees her and you can tell she thoroughly enjoys spending time with him.”
