About: Greetings ! I am super excited to help take the stress off of you by providing extraordinary services for you and your fur babies :) I’m an experienced dog walker/sitter and would LOVE to take care of your animals for you. I have experience administering medication both orally and injections with dogs and cats , and can accommodate any special diets if needed for your animals. I love dogs and wish I could have more of my own,since I cannot buy every dog in the world , what’s the next best thing ? Working for Rover but of course ;) I have 2 dogs, 1 reptiles and three busy, fur babe loving kiddos and we just cannot get enough of animals! If I am caring for any of your animals - I will make it my top priority to make sure all needs are met , I will send you photos throughout the stay if they are boarding, and I will go above and beyond in ensuring your animals are comfy and loved while in my care ! Please don’t hesitate to let me know of any special request , for I am here to serve you excellent service 😊 I currently work from home and work a very flexible schedule , making me available 24/7 . If our schedules accommodate I am happy to do a meet and greet before booking , if you are comfortable without one that is fine as well , totally up to you ! I give the pups ample space to run and play and we regularly take walks around the neighborhood and to the park !We also have plenty of toys for the pups !

“My pup EeVee had a good time with Madison daughter & Charlea mom during her daycare. They kept me posted with EeVee’s activities & ensured she feel comfortable. They also followed Covid safety guidelines for pups’ owners which is a big plus. Thank you for your service!”


“Jessica’s the best! I drop my dog off twice a week for 12 hours at a time and he always gets so excited to go.

About: This girl. I'm that person at your party that spends the whole night playing with your dog instead of socializing. And while it doesn't win me friends, it makes me a great dog sitter for your pup. I've got two little guys of my own, Chachi and Mac. I love rescues (and really all dogs tbh) and both my husband and I work from home so we spend a lot of time together. I believe that as much as dogs need food, water, and bathroom breaks, they need attention and love, as well. So, that means I'll be making sure your pets meet their maslow's hierarchy of dog needs. And if those needs include a lot of pets, playing, and occasional treats--I'm your man. I work from home and make my own hours so am available to work around your schedule. Please provide as much advance notice as possible and account for proximity when booking. While I have a fenced backyard, it isn't very large. I don't recommend large excitable dogs that need a lot of outdoor space to stay here. Additionally, as stated before, I have two small dogs. All dogs staying my house MUST BE FRIENDLY.

“Thank you so much Brent & David for taking care of Flaco! Your love and caring for Flaco was exceptional; he was very happy when we picked him up every night.”



About: I’ve taken care of many dogs from puppies go senior dogs. I treat pets like family and will make sure your pet is taken care of while you are away. I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate most requests with little notice. I love to walk my dogs for my exercise and theirs! I have a fenced in yard and 3 doodles who love to play. I have fostered multiple rescue dogs and understand how to help even the most difficult dogs feel comfortable.

About: Dogs are also family wouldn't you say they deserve the best care from the best dog caregiver and walker!? With me your dog baby will receive attention through dog walks, be given time to run and play and have the love and care to continue to thrive. In the past I have traveled in the city with dogs doing activities such as bike riding and long distance walking. The Services I do provide are feeding, exercise walks to keep your fur baby happy and healthy, fun time to keep them stimulated, to continue to build on their social skills and so they can routinely be working on their bonding with family, new faces and other dogs. Dogs are constantly growing and learning so the proper sitter is needed. I'm currently working from home, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your fur baby! I'm available for boarding on weekends and weekdays. Making sure your dog is secure in my home or yours is my first priority. Because dogs are just like babies they can get into things so double checking doors and Gates is a must.
