About: Since 2013 dogs have been a huge part of my life. Between training my own dogs and teaching a variety of dog training classes I have a wealth of experience with many different breeds, ages, and temperaments. Whether you’re looking for walks, playtime, or drop in pet care, weekday availability primarily in the afternoon for potties and play as well as select weekend availability. Your dogs are important and valued members of your family, so meeting their mental, physical, and emotional needs safely and in the ways you specify is always my top priority.

“Althea is awesome, she goes the extra mile to make sure the cats are taken care of and makes it so we can feel comfortable leaving them!”


About: I can’t recall a time in my life there wasn’t an animal around, all shapes and all sizes. I have been there assisting in home births, to training bird dogs. Years of hands on experience and knowledge to better handle and care for my animals and yours. Open to requests, fairly flexible schedule. Weekdays, Weekends, overnights or stop ins I’ve got you covered, can’t wait to build a relationship with you! =) From cleaning up messes to having them overnight, I am here to make your life easier and care free knowing your animals are safe with me.

About: Aside from my childhood pup, I've been a Dog Mom to a handful of dogs. Small & large, friendly & even friendlier, snuggle bug to less needy, I'm lucky enough to say that my dogs (past & present) provide many learning opportunities and an immense amount of joy. My schedule allows for most weekends and rotating weekday(s) off. My husband and I know that a tired dog is a good dog - and routine exercise for our dogs is essentially what we plan our lives around. Our dogs are a bit spoiled - as are most people's. They roam freely inside, even when they're home alone (with the radio on of course - because they deserve it). When outdoors, our dogs are either on leash or have an invisible fence collar on.

“Mandy dropped in on fairly short notice to take care of our Lab. Mandy was very responsive, took photos during her visits and made the whole process completely stress free. Highly recommend Mandy!”


“Karen did a top notch job caring for our kitty while we were away for holidays. Great communication. Highly recommended and will look forward to using her services in the future. Thank you Karen!”

“H is truly the most incredible dog sitter. She went above and beyond for our beautiful girl Millie. She not only gave her all the cuddles, but took her for long walks & hikes. We came home to a house that was way cleaner than it had been when we left and were surprised with printed out photos of their adventures together while we were away. H is professional, loving, kind, & incredibly caring. She is honest & trustworthy. The care she showed our Millie means so much to us. Anyone who is lucky enough to hire H will not be disappointed.
