About: Hello! I’m Kaleb and I cannot wait to meet your furry family members. Animals have been the biggest joy in my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up surrounded by family pets, I learned early on the deep bond we share with our animals and exactly what it takes to keep them happy, safe, and thriving. For years, I have been the go to pet sitter for family, friends, and neighbors. Whether it’s keeping up with a strict routine, playing until they're tuckered out, or just providing a quiet, comforting presence, I have experience managing all kinds of personalities and needs. Why Choose Me? I know firsthand how hard it can be to leave your pets behind, even for a short time. My absolute promise to you is that I will take care of your baby exactly like they are my own. When your pet is under my care, they aren't just getting a sitter they are getting an abundance of love, attention, and a safe environment where they can feel entirely at home. What I Offer: A Lifelong Love for Animals: Deep, hands on experience caring for pets of all life stages. Personalized Care: I strictly follow your specific feeding schedules, medication needs, and exercise routines. Constant Communication: I love sending updates, photos, and videos so you can have complete peace of mind while you're away! Early Morning (The Kickoff): This block is all about routine. It’s dedicated to fresh water, breakfast, administerting any strict medication schedules, and a crisp morning walk or solo backyard playtime to get their energy out before the day gets busy. The Midday Check-in (For Drop-ins or High-Energy Pups): For clients who need a little extra attention midday, this block is perfect for a quick check-in, a potty break, or a structured walk to break up their afternoon boredom. Evening (The Wind-Down): Dinner time, evening walks, and a lot of dedicated socialization. This is the time for a solid play session or some deeply deserved couch snuggles to help them settle in for the night. Being a trusted guest in someone’s home means treating the property with the utmost respect and maintaining strict security measures. Securing the Perimeter: Ensuring all doors, windows, and gates are securely locked upon entering and leaving. Alarms and keyboxes are handled with strict confidentiality. Accident & Mess Cleanup: If a pet has an accident, tracks in mud, or makes a mess with food, it is cleaned up immediately using pet safe products to keep the home pristine. Home Basics: Bringing in the mail, watering plants, cycling lights to make the home look occupied, and taking out the trash on designated days are small touches that provide extra value to the owner.

About: I’ve cared for my own dog for over 12 years, so I’m very comfortable around dogs and understand their needs. I’ve also trained him myself and taught him commands like paw, roll over, jump, lay down, and high five. I enjoy keeping dogs active with walks, playtime, and attention, and I always treat them like they’re my own. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I already take care of my own dog every day. I’m used to walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and making sure dogs get attention and exercise. Adding pet sitting or dog walking fits naturally into my daily schedule. I follow the owner’s routine so the dog stays comfortable. I feed them in their designated area, give them fresh water, take them on walks, and spend time playing with them.

About: I have spent my entire life surrounded by dogs, growing up with Labs and Rottweilers, which has made me incredibly comfortable and confident with dogs of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments. I have been walking dogs and managing their daily care for as long as I can remember, so I truly understand what it takes to keep a pet safe, happy, and exercised. As a caregiver, I pride myself on being exceptionally reliable, punctual, and kind. Communication is incredibly important to me, so you can always expect timely updates, photos, and peace of mind while you are away. Whether your pup needs an energetic walk or dedicated companionship while you travel, I’m excited to treat them like a member of my own family! I work part-time as an aquatic supervisor from 6:00 AM to 2:00 PM, which leaves my afternoons and evenings completely open for dedicated pet care. Because of this consistent schedule, I am highly available for afternoon dog walks, dinner-time feedings, and overnight house sitting. I am incredibly punctual and can easily plan my routine around your dog’s specific potty, exercise, and feeding schedules to ensure they stay happy and on track. When caring for your pet in your home, safety and following your exact routine are my top priorities. Growing up with large breeds like Rottweilers and Labs has taught me how to handle dogs confidently and securely. I am completely comfortable following any specific instructions you have, whether that means crating your dog when I leave, administering precise feedings, or letting them out for frequent backyard potty breaks. You can expect constant communication and text updates from me so you always know your pup is safe, secure, and getting plenty of love.
About: I’ve taken care of a number of animals throughout 25+ years, all have been very comfortable and cared after while in my home. I am a very active woman and will ensure your pet is walked and played with thoroughly, and I will ensure they are fed and exercised to any specific set of instructions! I currently am looking to fill my schedule with something to do, as I am at that age where it’s difficult to fill my time. I have all day and night to look after your pet and ensure they are safe and comfortable until you return! I have closed off rooms and areas for any specific animal needs, as well as a kennel for any owners who keep their dogs overnight in a kennel and wish to maintain that schedule while they are away. If in another home, I’ll ensure to note down every specific area and need for your animal based off your home!

I have Stef for dog walking. My pet had an accident in my house and I was informed by Stef. When I got home I was expecting to clean it up, but it was gone! Stef had cleaned the accident on my floor even if she didn't have to. It's great how she goes above and beyond for her clients. Again, we appreciate you and thank you for being so reliable! 🫶
I was away for 10 days and Courtney was able to come over daily for an hour walk. She was very responsive and gave great daily updates. Rolo loves rolling around in the grass and Courtney took him over to the park each day to get in the “worm”! I highly recommend Courtney for any dog care needs.
I cannot say enough good things about Yulie. From start to finish, she was absolutely wonderful. My dog stayed at her home and also went on a walk, and I felt completely at ease the entire time knowing my dog was safe, happy, and well cared for. She communicated clearly and promptly, and she sent plenty of pictures and updates, which I really appreciated. It was obvious from the photos and messages that my dog was comfortable, relaxed, and genuinely enjoying their time with her. That peace of mind is priceless. Her home was a great environment, she was attentive to my dog’s needs, and it was clear she truly cares about the animals she watches. When I picked my dog up, she was happy, calm, and clearly well loved. I would 100% trust her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dog sitter. This was an outstanding experience all around.
Natalie is a gem. She has a warm, bubbly, helpful personality and is easy to communicate with. Unfortunately I did not know she has a health condition that limits how quickly she can walk, so while she did a great job with both dogs, they weren't able to get a lot of milage in 60 minutes. If you have very young or active dogs she may not be a fit for you. Which is total bummer for us b/c I could tell she truly cares about your animals and taking good care of them!
Absolutely amazing! Booked on short notice and he came through and gave me the peace of mind that ours dogs were in good care while my husband and I were out of town. Will 100% book again. My dogs are not the easiest to walk but he did great, I can’t recommend him enough.
