About: Hi! I’m Chloe, and I’ve been around animals my whole life from tiny toy poodles (which I currently own) to powerful cane corsos. My father bred Dogo Argentino puppies, so I learned as a young girl how to handle dogs of all sizes and temperaments with patience, love, and confidence. I’ve personally owned toy poodles, yorkies, dogo argentinos, and a cane corso, as well as two cats and currently own several reptiles. I’ve groomed dogs at home, regularly donate to my local animal shelters, and have cared for the pets of family and friends for years. Whether it’s a quick drop-in for a potty break and some playtime, or just keeping your dog company while you’re away, I treat every animal as if they’re my own—gentle, reliable, I will be sure your dog gets plenty of mental stimulation, exercise, and play! I have plenty of toys and treats for your furry baby and will be careful for always with love. I’m currently looking for a job with animals before starting my journey at my university but I currently have a lot of free time on my hands and would love to spend it with your pets! I have a big spacious home and fenced back yard, as well as plenty of outdoor space for your pet to run around in! As well as a small poodle to give your pet plenty of company.

“Taryn does and great job with my shepard. She's been very reliable with my rotating schedule and communicates great.”

Guadalupe R.
“Lupe has watched my pets over the past couple of years. I can always count on her to take care of my pets well in my home. My cats could be a bit shy with strangers but they were able to warm up to Lupe fast. They feel at home when she takes care of them, which is a relief when I am away. In addition, she keeps me updated daily with pictures and any important info every time. I highly recommend her ❤️”
