He has never missed a commitment and I trust him.”

12. Sam G.
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and have cared for pets of my own and those of my friends and family for my entire life. Recently my love of animals led me to work for a doggie daycare and boarding company where I received extensive training in dog behavior and how to manage it. My responsibilities included managing large pack environments of 50-100 dogs along with preparing their food, distributing medications, and bathing dogs of all sizes and temperaments. These experiences leave me uniquely prepared to care for your pup and ready for any and all situations that come my way! I’m currently studying for my real estate license which allows me total flexibility with my schedule and allows me to be readily available for you and your pets. Although I currently don’t offer boarding at my home I do know how important it is to treat your home and pets like my own. I’m very detail oriented and always follow instructions to the letter to keep your pet happy and your home secure.

14. Rebecca C.
“Rebecca was great with Gracie! She followed all my instructions and took excellent care of her and sent me cute pictures! I highly recommend her and will use her in the future!”
15. Katherine B.
About: Hi I am Katherine. I've had dogs ever since I was 5 years old, including a husky, sheltie, and golden retreivers. I've had reactive and non reactive dogs so I know how to navigate both situations. Overall, I will make sure your dog is healthy and happy! I'm a graduate student so my schedule is flexible! Please let me know your current needs and I will accommodate you. Happy to do drop in visits as needed. I have a golden retriever that loves EVERYONE and every dog. He is a therapy dog and well trained. If you would like, he can accompany the walk with you dog!
16. Holly P.
“Holly was great - kept me up to date on the pup, was on time, and met Osla ahead of time. Recommend!”
17. Emily C.
“My dog is a pain in the ass. She's great for working with him”
18. Ellen M.
“WOW. Elle. So warm and so responsible. Even as she sits still in our living room, all the animals surround her- naturally pulled by some force field. We have 2 cats with reservations about humans, but not Elle. We have one dog that rebels against everything we ask, but behaves for Elle. We have a parade of strays- difficult and sweet- she handles it all. A good communicator, we get pics of the shenanigans while we are away. Best of all, animals are peaceful and calm when we get home.”
19. Sydney M.
“Honestly my dog loved being walked by Sydney, she is awesome! Very good communication was given everyday she came and the report card was very detailed. Definitely recommend her over anyone else you are considering, have a blessed day all!”
