“Allison has been very pleasant and professional to work with. She communicates well and always leaves a detailed report on how the visit went. I have a new 5 month old German Shepherd rescue dog (who is still recovering from surgery). She can be a handful at times. It’s been such a relief knowing that she’s in capable hands with Allison. I highly recommend her for dog walking and/or drop in visits.”
“Sylvia was amazing! She kept great tabs on our kitties and sent daily pictures. Even our shy cat came out to greet her and play! I highly recommend Sylvia and plan on using her in the future”

“Susan and Molly are wonderful! We love all of the photos they send of our kitties playing with them. We will definitely continue having Susan and Molly as our pet sitters. They even took care of our tortoise while we were away. :)”

“Samantha was wonderful! She was super communicative while doing her drop-ins and sent so many photos! My dogs seemed to love her and it made me smile to see how well they took to her. As an anxious fur mom, knowing they were in good hands was priceless. 🤍 I highly recommend her to anyone looking for car for their fur babies.”

About: What sets me apart is my dependable, loving care. I treat every dog like family, giving patient attention, walks, playtime, cuddles, and plenty of love. I work mornings in retail, leaving afternoons and evenings free. I enjoy being active, but always plan my schedule around pets to ensure consistent, loving care. I adapt to each pets needs. I grew up with cats and dogs, and provide walks, cuddles, space if needed, plus updates, photos, and lots of love, care, and attention.
“Taryn was kind and very patient with my older, unsure little dog. Everyday Taryn took her time to get to know him. She was friendly and gentle allowing him to get used to her visits.”

“Awnna did an amazing job caring for our two dogs and we will definitely have her back! Very responsible and let us have updates immediately to know how they were doing.”

“Lindsey did a fantastic job watching our 2 kitties! She took great care of them, brought in packages, and cleaned up a mess one of our cats made. We appreciated her daily visits over the holidays, while we traveled to visit family! We highly recommend Lindsey and will definitely use her services again!”

“Jackie and her family took wonderful care of our dog. Jackie was very accommodating to my care request and was communicative the entire time. I would absolutely recommend Jackie and her family!”

“Toni went above and beyond! Not only did she take superior care of our little cavapoo, Bailey, she brought our garbage cans in from the curb and offered to check in on Bailey one more time if we were running late. Excellent care and service!!”

“Alanna did a excellent job taking care of my 2 cats! She went the extra mile, checking around my house because my cats will hide. Alanna sent pictures and carried out all services. I highly recommend her!”

“Brandy was SO reliable and really cared about our boy. We could tell she was making sure he got enough exercise, mental stimulation, and ate his meals. We all look forward to having her back!”
About: I'm currently in a pet-free home with my kiddos and have lived with dogs for much of my adult life. I'm a massage therapist and love giving pups a little TLC with energy therapy and light massage. They love it! The dog you see in my thumbnail photo is KC. She was a rescue dog who was with us for six years and needed lots of training, support and care. Please note I take 3 walking clients per day but only 1 boarder at a time. I teach at a technical college and am a personal trainer, working part-time from home and part-time out of the home. I'm often home for long hours during the day. My three kids are in public school, so dogs may have 1 to 4 dog-lovers in the home after 4pm. I offer long walks on sidewalks or trails if preferred, treats, water, lots of play and unlimited petting! I offer care in my home and dog walking. Pets are allowed on my furniture if that's what they're used to. Looking forward to meeting your pup!
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, and caring for them has always been a big part of who I am. Over the years, I’ve helped care for my family’s dogs—each with their own unique personality, energy, and needs. Recently, my husband and I got our own dog, who is now eight months old, and my love for caring for dogs has grown tremendously since then. Experiencing that bond firsthand reminded me just how special every dog truly is. I’ve also recently provided dog sitting for friends in the area, gaining even more experience with dogs of all breeds and temperaments. As a nurse, I’m extremely confident administering medications—after all, I pass meds to patients every day—so you can trust that your pet’s health needs will be handled safely and carefully. I always tailor my care to each dog’s unique personality and am happy to follow your pet’s regular home schedule for meals, walks, playtime, and bedtime to help them feel right at home. I live in a condo without a fenced-in yard, but I have access to a large field nearby and several dog parks within a close apartment complex. I use those spaces for exercise and play, but only when no other dogs are present to ensure safety. I also take frequent walks with my own pup throughout the day, so your dog will enjoy plenty of outdoor time and activity. Because my puppy is not yet neutered, I do ask that we schedule a meet and greet with any dogs before boarding or daycare to make sure everyone gets along comfortably. Every dog is special in their own way, and I treat each one like family. I currently work as a registered nurse, but I am per diem meaning I pick up on an as needed basis. My husband travels often for his job and we don’t have kid yet, so I have lots of free time on my hands. I have a friendly almost 9 month old German Shepard/Husky mix. He has been in day care for about 4 months now so has lots of experience with other dogs. He is not neutered yet and he is very high energy. Since we don’t have a fenced in yard, I do frequent walks around the neighborhood, I have a small fenced in dog park near by and a large field near a church that I utilize multiple times a day for fetch. I will do whatever it is that your pet needs to keep them safe, happy and well exercised so after a long work day, your pup is just as tired too!
About: I've been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. I connect with each animal and get to know what is normal behavior and what isn't so I can quickly identify if anything seems off. You can rest easy knowing you'll be immediately informed if anything seems concerning. And, I'll also provide updates with each visit, including pictures. I am an excellent communicator and very detail-oriented. I ask lots of questions during meet-and-greets to ensure there is no disruption in your pet's usual care and routine. I work from home and have a very flexible work schedule, so I can make frequent visits almost any day of the week. If your pet has health concerns (meds, needs to be fed at specific times, etc) or needs a specific schedule, I can accommodate for that the vast majority of the time. I will always communicate any schedule conflicts before finalizing a booking. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. I approach animals I'm just getting to know on their terms so they can feel safe and secure. I am always sure to leave things in your home exactly how you want them, including cleaning up after myself or any pet messes I find.
“Chris was awesome with my boy Monty! He was quick to respond, attentive, and I felt so comfortable knowing he was going to be with my pup. Monty was in great hands. 10/10 recommend, thanks Chris!”
