“Sarah is amazing! She even took our dog for a long walk in pouring rain...our dog never looked so happy for every walk. Highly recommend & we’ll definitely hire her again!”

“Caroline has been walking Frito twice a week for the past 6 weeks. Frito adores her and she is communicative, responsible, prompt and flexible. Also, when it has been cold out, she takes Frito for small walks (as I have asked) and then spends time playing with him and loving on him for the remainder of the time. When Frito was having digestive problems on one of her walking days, I contacted her that morning and she moved around her schedule to be able to give him an extra visit to ensure he was ok. I was so grateful and it gave me the peace of mind to leave him knowing she would be there to care for him. I knew he would be in great hands and that Caroline would communicate every detail with me. Not only is she great with dogs but she is just good people. If you are looking for a reliable, friendly, kind, dog person you need look no further!”



“Stephanie was amazing! She came over for a meet and greet on short notice and stayed for an hour to answer all of my questions, and meet my pup. She came over every day to walk her while I was away and my family was working. She even checked to make sure my dog was given her medicine and gave it to her if needed. I got messages/updates and pictures every day which really put me at ease. Not only did she take excellent care of my baby, but she also checked in on me to see how my trip was, which was really nice of her. Stephanie really went above and beyond just walking Charlie, she took the time to make sure she had everything she needed and gave her plenty of love. I will absolutely use her in the future!!”

“I value Grace's help very much she has been helping me walk and feed my two chihuahuas for almost two weeks while I'm at work. She is very patient and listen to all my concerns since my pets are on the older side and can be a bit difficult with new people.”


“Lizzie was great and accommodating! She was able to do a few house visits during the holidays, which can be very hard to find. My dog also gives up on all training when it’s cold outside but she made it work and provided thorough updates. I would definitely book her again.”

About: I have always loved every different kind of animal out there, but spent my childhood with mostly just cats. 15 years ago, I adopted my first puppy, a German Short-haired Pointer, at the age of 8 weeks. My ex-husband and I decided to take the "treatless training" approach which was a huge success! Crate training, leash training, obedience training were all a collaborative effort and turned out extremely well. 10 years later, we adopted a sweet rescue named Gizmo who was already 7 years old, but became part of the family immediately. They have both passed on now to doggy heaven, but I am always the first to offer to care for other family member's pets anytime I can :) I'm currently working part-time from my home in Blackberry Creek and always have time for some fur-ball company. My 2 girls, 7 and 10 years old, are with me part time and are also very helpful, gentle and patient with our pets and hopefully yours! I have a fenced back yard with plenty of room for your fur-baby to play and exercise! If it better suits you, I can always come to your home as well for potty and play time :)

Goka L.
“I've know Goka half of my life and she is a true animal lover. I remember when she and her husband adopted their current dog, Kygo. They gave him so much love. They also have put great time to train him. Kygo turned out to be well behaved and very social puppy. Goka makes sure that her dog is always healthy by cooking for him individual meals, giving vitamins and regular vet visits. I'd always leave my little dachshund puppy with Goka any time I go for a vacation. I know she will take an excellent care of him. Goka sometimes would volunteer at shelters just out of love to other pets.”

Megan E.
“I can highly recommend Megan for dog care. She grew up in a household that always had 2-3 well-loved dogs that were part of the family. When we lived together for 5 years, we adopted a total of 3 dogs, all rescues. I always let her take the lead in deciding what was best for our dogs. She spearheaded the training and routines for all of our dogs to great success. In particular, the first dog we adopted had bad separation anxiety and would destroy things when we were gone. Through months of crate training and establishing a secure relationship with that dog, I am now able to leave her loose in my house when I'm gone at work or staying at a friend's house overnight and nothing gets destroyed nor is the dog distressed when I'm gone, just happy to see me upon my return. Megan is a responsible and skilled, dog-loving caretaker who will do a great job with any dog, even the most difficult ones.”


Tiffany M.
“My pups love Tiffany, they are so excited when they see her at the door. We use her for walks a couple times a week and have also used her services when going away overnight. She’s the only person I trust with my puppies.”
