About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and can’t imagine a home without them! From energetic puppies to sweet senior pups, I have experience with all life stages and their unique needs. I’m patient, dependable, and treat every dog like they’re my own—whether that means extra playtime, gentle care, or a nice long walk. I work from home, which means I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time for walks, play, and snuggles throughout the day. Whether your dog needs a quick potty break, multiple walks, or extra attention while you’re away, I can easily fit their care into my daily routine. When walking your dog, I make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and enjoying their time outside—whether that’s a leisurely stroll or an energetic walk to burn off energy. I always bring water for longer walks and pay attention to weather conditions to keep your pup happy and healthy. For home check-ups, I ensure your pet is fed, has fresh water, gets some playtime or cuddles, and is safe and comfortable before I leave. I’m happy to send updates and photos so you can feel confident your furry friend is well cared for while you’re away.

About: I’ve been a dog owner for over 4 years, caring for my energetic and anxious Belgian Malinois, Harley. Through her, I’ve learned the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding how to meet a dog where they’re at—whether they need to burn off energy or just feel safe on a walk. Beyond my own dog, I’ve cared for a variety of breeds and temperaments. I regularly watch my mother-in-law’s senior dog who needs a slower pace and extra gentleness. I’ve walked and looked after a neighbor’s dog, my cousin’s small dog, and grew up in a home with large breeds like a German Shepherd and a Mastiff. Whether it’s a high-energy pup, a small companion dog, or an older dog who needs special care, I always adjust my pace and approach to fit their needs. My goal is to make your dog feel comfortable, cared for, and happy—just like I would want for my own. I currently walk my own dog twice a day, so caring for pets is already a regular part of my routine. I can easily fit in additional walks or potty breaks during the day, making it simple to give your pet the attention and care they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort come first. I carefully follow all care instructions, keep a calm and pet-friendly approach, and adjust to each dog’s needs—especially if they’re anxious or shy. I treat your space and your pet with care and respect, and I provide regular updates so you feel confident and connected while we’re together.

About: I have always loved pets and that is what brought me to adopt multiple animals, including senior pets with medical needs. I have done numerous animal volunteer events (currently a volunteer with Rescue House) and continue to look for ways to be around more animals. I’m a very patient and kind owner, who understands pets are pets! They should be treated with love and given the attention they need. I can offer walks for more active pets or quick potty breaks for the older crowd. I’m very open to all kinds of pets and needs. During the week I work in supply chain with a hybrid schedule. I’m home all day on weekends and during the weekdays I’m home completely Mondays and Fridays with a flexible office schedule. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or at a client’s, my goal is to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and preferences—whether that means daily walks, specific feeding schedules, medication needs, or favorite toys. I prioritize keeping their environment clean, calm, and enriching, and I always give lots of attention and affection to help them feel secure while you’re away. Communication is key, so I’ll keep you updated with regular messages, photos, and any questions that may come up.

About: Hi! I’m Ana — a compassionate and experienced caregiver specializing in senior pets and those with medical needs. I’ve lovingly cared for my own aging dogs and cats, including blind, diabetic, and mobility-challenged companions. I’m confident administering insulin, oral meds, supplements, and supporting pets on specialized diets or comfort routines.

I treat every pet like family, and I’ll keep you updated with notes, photos, and peace of mind:) Caring for animals is already woven into my daily life. As a lifelong pet parent (including senior and special-needs animals), I’m used to early mornings, meal prep, medication routines, walks, cleanups, and cuddle time. My days are structured around care — whether it’s my own pets or yours — so showing up reliably and compassionately is second nature to me. I build my schedule with flexibility to give each pet the attention and calm presence they deserve. Whether it’s a drop-in visit, an overnight stay, or a daily walk, I integrate pet care smoothly into my week, keeping communication open and routines consistent for peace of mind — yours and theirs 🐶🐱💛 In my client’s home, I focus on maintaining your pet’s familiar routine — meals, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and medications — with as little disruption as possible. I respect your space, keep things clean and organized, and always follow your instructions carefully. I bring a calm, grounded presence and take the time to build trust, especially with older or shy pets. In my own home, I provide a quiet, cozy space and a securely fenced yard for safe outdoor time and potty breaks. Pets are always supervised and treated like family. I’m mindful of their energy levels and comfort, especially for seniors or those with medical needs, and I make sure their days are calm, enriched, and consistent. Whether I’m visiting or hosting, your pet’s well-being is always my top priority — and I’ll keep you updated every step of the way 💛🐾

About: I’ve always had a deep love for dogs and care for them with patience, respect, and genuine affection. I have experience with dogs of all ages — from playful puppies to calm seniors — and I adjust my care based on each dog’s individual needs and energy. What sets me apart is my calm presence and emotional sensitivity. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, understood, and completely at peace, just like they would with family. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine. I do some local deliveries during the day, but I always come home for lunch and stay nearby. In the evenings, I’m always home, so your dog will have plenty of company, care, and attention throughout the day and especially at night. I offer a peaceful, clean, and welcoming home where your dog will always feel comfortable and cared for.

Kelly T.
“Kelly Tingle has been an absolute lifesaver for our family! We were initially nervous about leaving our 3 dogs with someone new, but from the moment we met Kelly we knew instantly that our pets were in great hands. Not only does she have a genuine love for animals, but she also has an exceptional attention to detail, ensuring that every need of our pets is met. Our 3 dogs think of her as family and adore her. They always look forward to her walking and caring for them. We highly recommend Kelly to anyone in need of a reliable and caring dog walker.”


Angela M.
“Ok, I know everyone says, “oh, ____ is the best!” about their dog-sitter, but Angela truly is! She has watched our Frenchie multiple times, including a couple overnighters, and oh my gosh! Our girl is treated like a QUEEN. We often receive picture and video updates of their adventures, and on one special occasion, Angela even fried up some fresh bacon just for her and our girl to share. 😂 While that was a rare treat, all specific meals and times are followed, healthy and yummy treats are given, special beds and blankets are offered, LOTS of snuggles are had, and walks are taken (insert more pictures). Speaking of walks, let me tell you about one more time Angela has gone the extra mile with my pup. Cali doesn’t really like walks. She’ll start out strong and then verrrry quickly, just stop, drop, and roll, and she’s done! 😆 She’ll refuse to move! So while they were attempting to get some exercise in, by the time they were done, Cali had been CARRIED through her walk! We absolutely adore Angela and her crew, our Cali-girl loves her visits, pets, and loads of attention. I trust her completely with our littlest family member! Definitely call her for your my-dog-is-my-kid-and-must-be-cared-for-like-the-King/Queen-they-are routines, you won’t regret it!”

Noemi D.
“Noemi is truly one of the best dog moms out there—and an even better pet sitter. I went out of town for a few weeks, and without hesitation, she offered to take care of my baby Yorkie. She walked her every day and made sure she had the proper nutrition she needed. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a more caring or reliable person to watch my dog. She showed up and left at the same time every day, proving just how dependable she is. As for her own dog, he’s clearly spoiled—in the best way—with love, joy, and plenty of toys. Noemi is always attentive to his diet and overall health, making sure he’s as happy and healthy as possible. I will definitely continue to use Noemi as a pet sitter. She’s amazing! CM”
