“Tara was amazing with our dog, Bubbles! We needed a last-minute visit, and Tara was quick to respond. She sent updates and photos, which really helped us relax and enjoy our time away. We’ll definitely be booking Tara again!”


“Abigail is great with my two dogs! We just moved to the area and it’s given me such peace of mind to know they’re safe and cared for while she’s with them!”



“Kim is simply the best! She took amazing care of our cat Bob during our week-long trip. Bob is a shy boy at the best of times and gets really stressed out around new people. Kim won his trust early on, and he turns into his normal playful and affectionate self around her. We had Kim hang out with him during the day as he’s independent overnight, and she provided him with promptly timed meals and plenty of playtime. Kim sent us plenty of pictures and videos everyday of the stay, and kept us updated on how Bob was doing. I continue to highly recommend Kim to all cat parents out there. Thank you from me and Bob!”


“Kylie was great with both of my dogs who need to be kept separated, and I was able to trust her with that while I was out for a few hours. We will definitely be using her services again and my dogs will be very happy to see her again!🐾”


About: I have been a pet lover since day one! I have had dogs as big as loving labs, as small as cocker spaniels, and rescues in between. Each one had their own personality, character and energy levels but were all loved the same. I do have experience with senior dogs as well who have needed a little extra help to accommodate their day to day needs as they lost their sight, hearing or became less mobile. Every pet deserves love and attention and I look forward to helping meet their needs! I am currently a dental hygiene student with a part time job one night a week. Since my school days are much shorter than the average work day, I have plenty of time to keep your pet company while you are away. I am comfortable walking dogs of any size. Currently I do not do sitting in my own home, but look forward to playing outside if there is a fenced in yard, walks in your neighborhood, and playing with your pups favorite toys.

“Jenna did an amazing job. Showed up on time and gave our little guys a great walk while we were out. Took some adorable pictures to share with us, documented everything so we would be up-to-date when we got home. Highly recommend her and would happily book her again. If you’re looking for somebody to trust with your babies while you are away. Look no further.”


“Haley was awesome! She was very attentive in her care for our cat & dog while we were away. She also was able to accommodate a last minute additional visit which was so great!! She closely monitored the well-being of our dog during 4th of July fireworks and made sure to give thorough reviews/plenty of photos. Communication was amazing! Would definitely recommend Haley”


“Amanda was awesome! I didn't worry about Gustave the whole time I was gone. She gave him plenty of treats, extra attention and even clipped his nails. I would recommend her care to anyone!”


“Barbara did a great job with my two older dogs. This was a fairly last-minute request, I lost my original coverage for my dogs the following day. Barbara came that evening to meet me and the dogs. The midday visit next day went perfectly. Very reliable and took great care of my "kids".”


“Michelle, came by everyday I was away and checked on my twelve year old Newfy. This put me at ease while I was away that Charlie, was ok, and was not alone for more than four hours at a time. Michelle is professional and goes above and beyond with her services. Thank you, Michelle. Lynn and Charlie”


“While one cat had recent surgery and recovering nicely now, Jessica was game for taking on extra care regarding this. Ended up not being needed. Also, she was great with responding to a sudden need for more visits on very short notice. Truly appreciated this. Thank you Jessica!”


“Katelyn went above and beyond and kept my anxious senior kitties content.”


“As appears to be the norm, exceeded our expectations once again. Thank you Kristie, we appreciate you so much. It is never easy leaving our girls, knowing you are there with them makes all the difference!”


“Angela & Adam had great professional holiday energy for my senior kitties. They sent thorough reports and great/festive pictures that made us laugh which helped my son cause he always misses our fur babies when we are out of town. It is so refreshing to meet folks who genuinely love animals and provide top notch care!”


About: I am an animal lover. I think animals are better than people, lol, they just want to be loved and someone to show them attention and play with them. I am 58 years old and have had many dogs, cats and even a rabbit and oh yes chickens but we won’t go there, lol. My daughter is all grown up and I do not work anymore so I am available most often. I am a very loyal and trust worthy person. I am upbeat and a positive. If I say I am available then I will be. I’ll always tell you if I can’t do it. Thank you for taking this time to read my profile. Feel free to ask me any questions. Thanks. I am retired and am home and available most days. I am very reliable and if I say I’m going to show up I will! I will feed them clean up after them and just love them. I will play with them and make them not feel alone. Thank you

About: Experienced Dog Owner & Sitter – Reliable, Active, and Caring Hi! I'm a lifelong dog lover with over 20 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I grew up with a terrier mix and a black lab, and as an adult, I've cared for a German Shorthaired Pointer and now my current companion, Reggie—a 1.5-year-old Basenji. Reggie is friendly, well-socialized, and loves being around other dogs. I’m especially experienced with puppies and enjoy the energy and patience they require. Reggie and I stick to a consistent daily routine that includes at least a mile of leash walking each day—usually split into multiple walks, with outings early in the morning (as early as 5–8 AM), mid-morning, an afternoon potty break, and a longer walk in the evening. Our home is dog-friendly, safe, and has a fenced-in yard perfect for supervised play. We welcome only one guest dog at a time to ensure plenty of individual attention and a calm environment. I house- and dog-sitting in as well as , I currently offer drop-in visits. At the heart of everything I do is a commitment to your dog’s safety, comfort, and well-being. I’m 35, responsible, and passionate about dogs—I treat every pup like family. Flexible & Reliable Pet Care – Full-Time Availability I offer full-time availability for pet care and am happy to accommodate a variety of schedules. Morning walks are part of our daily routine—typically between 5 AM and 8 AM and ranging from 0.5 to 1.5 miles. In the afternoon, I provide a potty break, followed by an evening walk of 0.5 to 1 mile. This schedule works well for my own dog, Reggie, and any pup we’re hosting. I'm available for: Scheduled or short-notice dog walks Drop-in visits Daily or multiple-times-a-day walks Weekly routines or one-time services Short-notice check-ins (with a fair, convenience-based fee) Whether your dog needs regular walks, occasional visits, or last-minute help, I'm here to provide safe, loving, and dependable care. Safety-First, Thoughtful Pet Care in a Calm and Controlled Environment For every pet care job—whether it’s dog walking, drop-in visits, or in-home hosting—I approach each responsibility with a safety-first mindset. I begin by assessing the environment, checking for any potential hazards, and observing the dog's temperament, energy level, and overall health to ensure they’re set up for a positive experience. I come fully prepared with all the essentials: leashes, treats, food (if needed), cozy beds and blankets, separate water bowls, poop bags, and anything else your pup might need to feel safe and comfortable. I believe dogs thrive in calm, predictable environments. As the walker or sitter, I take the lead in maintaining a peaceful, structured atmosphere where your dog can feel secure, enjoy their time, and have fun—all while staying under steady and attentive supervision.

Ixia A.

Her warmth, professionalism, and incredible attention to detail made every walk and care session a stress-free experience for both Madison and us. She not only ensured Madison got plenty of exercise but also took the time to engage her in thoughtful play, reinforcing positive behaviors and making their time together fun and stimulating. Madison would always return home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. Beyond that, Ixia was consistently punctual, responsible, and went the extra mile—whether it was bringing fresh water, wiping Madison’s paws after a muddy adventure, or keeping us updated with adorable photos from their outings. If you're looking for a dog walker who treats your furry companion like family and provides service that is above and beyond, Ixia is the one you need. We are so grateful for her dedication, kindness, and expertise. Madison absolutely adores her, and we couldn’t be happier!”
