“Kara was great. She stayed at our house for a week to watch our 5 dogs. She sent us updates and pictures. She left everything at the house just as it was and even did a few extra things like bringing our mail and packages in. Would highly recommend.”


“Rachel did a great job caring for our beloved, Jack. She stayed the night with him while we were away and got him to the park twice every day -- sending a photo every time so we could see his sweet face. She also kept our house in good order, getting packages off the porch, etc. We will use Rachel again!”


“Paige was amazing!!! She took such great care of Bella and went the extra mile when Bella wasn’t eating to figure out how to get her to eat a little and to check in with us. She sent us updates and pictures. I can’t tell you how awesome it was to know our baby was in good hands and being spoiled while we were away !!”


About: Hello fellow animal lovers! Are you in need of a trustworthy and experienced dog walker and pet sitter? Look no further! With over 30 years of experience caring for animals, including dogs, cats, and more, I have a deep love and respect for all creatures great and small. I am dedicated to providing top-notch care and attention to your beloved pets, ensuring they receive the love and exercise they need while you're away. Contact me today to schedule a walk or pet sitting visit for your furry family member! I currently work a part time hybrid schedule so I will have plenty of time to walk and play with your pets while you are at work or away on vacation. I understand that each pet has their own unique personality, schedule, and specific needs. That's why I take the time to get to know your pet and adhere to their routine. Whether it's feeding them at specific times, administering medication, or taking them on their favorite walking route, I will make sure your pet is comfortable and happy. As a pet owner myself, I know how much pets mean to us. That's why I promise to provide the same level of care and attention to your pet as I would to my own. You can trust that your furry friend will be in good hands with me.

About: Growing up on a farm means I have an abundance of experience with animals of all shapes and sizes. This experience has only grown thanks to the 1000+ hours spent caring for a great variety of animals thanks to my preparation for and training in veterinary school. I have worked in several veterinary clinics, a couple of shelter settings, and a commercial aviary. This means I am incredibly comfortable caring for all kinds of pets of any age, as well administering medications and keeping up with unique needs. Much of my love for veterinary medicine comes from the opportunity to bond with people and their pets, and providing pet care is another amazing chance to do just that. I would love to serve you and your four-legged family! Being a student allows for a very flexible schedule, perfect for attentive and personalized pet care! Much of my course work can be done online, so I am often free to hang out with your furry friends while I study throughout the day. I try to build my schedule where I don't need to leave pets alone longer than 6 hours maximum, and I am willing to adjust according to your pet's needs. I take great care to keep your pet's routine as similar as possible to their normal to minimize stress. I love to schedule a meet & greet beforehand to get to know you and your pet, and get to know all the details of their routine. I know what questions to ask to make the process as enjoyable and stress free as possible. I also know how nice it is to come back to a clean home. Therefore, when staying in a client's home I take great care to leave everything exactly as it was or better. That way you can relax knowing your pets are well taken care of, and you have nothing to worry about when you return.

“Samantha was very communicative throughout her stay with our Mickey. Sent us regular status updates and pictures. She also took good care of our house with it looking just the way we left it. We would highly recommend Samantha and will definitely ask her to watch Mickey again if she is available.”


“April was very helpful and flexible for last minute trip planning. She was also very patient and understanding when I had some miscommunication and then some health issues. I can't thank her enough. Most importantly, she was very attentive to the fur babies and they seemed to like her a lot.”


“Rebecca is great! My pups adore her. They are both on several medications and she is great at administering them. She also is quick to reply and sends pictures often. I trust her completely with my home and babies.”


“Kelly did such a wonderful job watching our dog! He seemed so happy when we got back from our trip. She sent lots of cute pictures and I would definitely recommend her!”



“I was very happy with Alexis watching my critters. My dog can easily be stressed and anxious, and Reese seemed wonderfully relaxed and happy with Alexis. 10/10 would recommend.”


“Justin took care of our poochers for a test night. Our one doggie takes a bit longer to warm up, and Justin was kind enough to do multiple meet and greets, and a test night. He's been patient, caring, and accommodating to get the furries comfortable. Couldn't recommend him enough!”


“Elizabeth is THE BEST ! If you love your pet like a child then don’t hesitate she is caring loving, sends tons of pictures and updates. We love her and our pet loves her too”


“Rachel was great! Before our trip she suggested we do a meet and greet. It was a great chance to introduce our cats to her, show her where things like the cat food is stored, etc. Once we were on our trip, Rachel sent pictures and videos of the cats each day, which was a great comfort as one of our cats is pretty shy and nervous with people. However, he warmed up to Rachel within a few days of her home stay. She also took great care of our house! Everything was tidy and she even washed/dried the bed sheets and remade the bed! We will definitely be checking if Rachel is available when we go on trips in the future.”
