About: ***UPDATE! Opening my profile up to new clients again after about a year, as I have some openings! Feel free to reach out with inquiries!*** I have had dogs my entire life, and what can I say — I just love them. I have cared for dogs for 20 years, and even spent a few years training dogs at the American Kennel Club (AKC). I rescued my own pup nearly 10 years ago, and rescued my cat ~5 years ago now-- and have since been equally obsessed with felines. They’re incredibly different animals, with their own way of looking at the world, both of which I respect. Over the years, I have walked and cared for many family's, friends’ and colleagues' dogs and cats of all ages, before opening my network to my neighborhood. ***Key Notes: - Currently, I am open for dog walking and dog/cat drop-ins. Please see all service options (including add-ons) in my profile and feel free to reach out with questions! - For 60-minute walks, depending on location, weather and your comfort level, I can take your pup(s) for a hike or trail-run nearby! - I have a range of experience, from energetic and exercise-craving dogs to elderly pups who require gentle care and a patient, slower speed. I love providing care for either side of the spectrum, and all in between. The bottom line is: the safety of your dog/dogs is my top priority. I know how it is. I’ve used Rover and other services for my dog and cat, and I understand how it feels to entrust another person with your fur-kiddo. I am patient and will give you whatever you need to feel comfortable with me as a caregiver — from answering questions, to a meet-and-greet (in person or on zoom), to picture updates all along the way. Every dog and cat is different, and I want to know what makes your beloved pet unique so I can provide him/her with the best care. I’m a good communicator — from medications to leash/sidewalk politics to triggers and everything in between, you can rest assured we will be on the same page. I have experience caring for all shapes and sizes: - Chihuahuas and Terriers (my dog Jack is a mix!) - Bernese Mountain Dogs - Border Collie Mixes - Shepherds - Staffy’s - Golden Retrievers - Shelties - Samoyeds - King Charles - Schnauzers - Norwegian Forest Cats - Tabbies I am happy to take on puppies/kittens and can integrate any training you might be working on with your fur-kiddo. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I can accommodate most walks and drop-ins depending on your needs. Just shoot me a request and I’ll get back to you right away. I treat everyone’s home with the same respect I expect at my own. I also take privacy very seriously. I am always happy to do meet-and-greets at a public park (or similar) before services. Again, I get it — you're trusting someone new in your home and with your animals. I want you to feel as comfortable as possible!

“Charmaine did such a wonderful job with our very shy scaredy cat, Leo!!! She is so patient and gentle that he came to really feel safe and comfortable with her. He usually hides from people, but he trusts her and would spend lots of time cuddling with her. This is our second time booking with Charmaine and I’m so glad we did. Leo loves her!!!”

“Casey has been a great sitter for our rescue dog who has special needs. She is very patient and detailed about learning his care routine, we are so glad to have her help!”

Allison B.

“Lindsay did an incredible job taking care of my kitten while I was home for the holidays. She sent me amazing updates and photos, which really eased my anxiety about leaving my cat alone.”

Stephanie L.

“Might as well also be a goat sitter because she's the GOAT cat sitter. We've used her many times and she's always a rock star. Very thorough and thoughtful messages and tons of photos of the babies. Our one day had a cone this time and she was very good about that.”

Dustin K.

“Eliana, once again, took great care of Bella. She was also super responsive when I had to contact her over a mix up with someone else getting access to the house.”

Cynthia C.

“Mike was very professional and kind, and he was a great caretaker for my cat! He sent reports on the check-ins and daily photos, which both put me at ease as someone who hasn't used an outside caregiver before. I would certainly recommend Mike to others and will seek out his services again for future trips!”

Danielle B.

“Jackie was amazing and went above and beyond for Percy. Highly recommend!”

Thomas F.

“Ru was fantastic as always! This was a longer trip away from BG and she took extra care to make she was happy and comfortable. I’ll always Ru FIRST!”

Kelly A.

“Such a kind and thoughtful person. Treated Margot so well and took some really great photos of her to share. I will for sure be using her again.”

Kyle L.

“Sarah and David are wonderful! They took great care of our cats and of our house. We have a special needs cat who needs a little extra attention, and they did everything to a T. Highly recommend.”

Rubin S.

“Alex was a fantastic caretaker for our two cats. He followed instructions to the T and left very detailed notes and plenty of pictures everyday, giving us assurance and ease while we were away. We will happily work with him again and recommend him to anyone in need of a responsible, caring guardian for your pet.”

Sarah E.

“Our 5 month old puppy had so much fun with Cheslea! The pictures Chelsea sent us show a happy, relaxed, and trusting puppy face. Thank you Cheslea for taking such excellent care of our baby!”

Laura E.

“Megan was great! I’d never used Rover before and was nervous at first, but she made it so I didn’t have to worry. Took good photos and responded quickly.”

Klara S.

“Emily was very good with our two cats. She was prompt and professional, clear in communication, shared lots of photos, and took time to clean up the areas around the litter boxes. Would recommend.”

“Sorn did a great job looking after Marx while we were away! She sent plenty of photos and videos that were reassured us that he was well taken care of. Thank you Sorn!”
