“Debbie was absolutely lovely. She took great care of my pups while we were out of town. I couldn’t have asked for anyone better! We video called ahead of time to go over the routine and she checked in with me while she was checking in on the pups. Have us absolute peace of mind! 10/10”
“I recently moved from NY to KY and was in need of someone to help care for my four dogs. I had spoken to many people and wasn’t comfortable with anyone as I had my prior dog walker in Ny for over 10 years. I found Tanika and she and I hit it off right away: she was super accommodating to my ever changing schedule. I was nervous to have my one rescue dog meet anyone because he could be unpredictable. Tanika came armed with treats and was relaxed and so easy going with all the dogs that he took to her first!!!! Tanika had been above and beyond amazing . She helps with my dogs that have medical issues and she is always there when and if I need her. She takes care of my dogs as if they were her own and I’ve never had to worry about them when I’m away. She is an absolute god send and I highly recommend her!”
“Chelsea is awesome! She came and cared for my baby dog at last minute’s notice during the holiday season. She intuitively understands dogs and is patient with their quirks. Definitely will be trying to book her again in the future!”
“I could tell how much Isabella loves animals and was completely confident that she would take the very best care of my baby girl. Willow was in good hands and I will definitely book Isabella again.”
“Lindsey always sends me the best pictures of my babies which is a really nice touch that i appreciate when I'm gone! I can tell she spends time with them and is thorough in her visits! She is flexible and has been a lifesaver! I know my pets are safe, healthy, and happy with her! I was admitted to the hospital unexpectedly and with very little notice she agreed to get all their needs taken care of while I was away. Thank you!!!”
“We cannot recommend Laura enough! She took such wonderful care of our cat, Phineas, while we were away. Laura is incredibly kind, caring, and trustworthy, and it was obvious from the start that she truly loves the animals she cares for. She kept us updated with pictures and messages throughout our trip, which gave us so much peace of mind. We came home to a happy, relaxed, well-loved cat, and that means everything to us. We will absolutely be booking with her again!”
“As always, Cindy was excellent with Willow. It was storming so she sent a message and asked how Willow does with storms. It was so nice that she checked. But that’s how seriously she takes her appointments.”
“Dina is wonderful! The pups absolutely loved her and it was so nice to know that they were being checked on while we were gone for the day. I also got some really cute photos! I highly recommend Dina!”
“Kristen did a great job for us. We contacted her at the last moment, she came to our house without a pre-booking visit, and our dog adjusted very quickly to her without ever meeting her. Kristen was punctual and followed our instructions. Overall, a great experience with Kristen.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life—I’ve never known a home without a dog. Growing up, I had the opportunity to care for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from energetic Jack Russell Terriers to loyal Labrador Retrievers and loving Pitbulls. I was always involved in their daily care, whether it was taking them on walks, feeding them, or making sure they stayed up to date with vet visits. My love for animals has only grown over the years. Two years ago, I adopted my dog, Russell, from a shelter, and he has been my loyal companion ever since. I also have two cats, Chief and Reid, who keep life interesting and have taught me even more about pet care. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s something I’m truly passionate about. I love making sure pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. As a part-time Graduate Assistant, I have plenty of flexibility throughout the day to care for and play with your pups, especially on the weekends! As a dog owner myself, I know what it's like to worry about your pet while gone. I will ensure pets are fed, exercised, and groomed according to their needs. I provide loving companionship, and follow specific care instructions for each pet’s well being and comfort.
