About: I have been dedicated to animal care from a young age, always showing a strong passion for helping animals in need. Over 15 years ago, I began working with rescue dogs while searching for the right dog to adopt. During this time, I adopted my first and third foster dogs, later welcoming a third rescue into my home. I continued fostering dogs until 2018, by which point I was caring for five of my own, along with chickens, goats, horses, ducks, and other animals. Additionally, I volunteered and worked at an animal sanctuary specializing in behavioral modification training, focusing on rehabilitating dogs with the most challenging backgrounds. I am currently employed full-time, working 10-hour shifts Monday through Thursday. I base my life around the well being of my companion! I love my dog and his happiness means everything to me. I currently work M-Thurs 10-hour day shifts. I walk my dog on a leash, unless im in an area that is safe for him to be off leash (Chena or Tanan Lake areas.) I do take my dog to the dog park for some socialization as i believe it is very important to keep him social with other dogs and humans. My dog does sleep on my bed. As far as taking care of clients pets, I will respect their wishes with how they want their loved one taken care of.

“Ashley was just lovely to work with--our plans kept changing and she just rolled with it. It was very much appreciated. We have one cat that hides out and have had people stay with us before that never saw her once in a week. That cat was out and being sociable shortly after Ashley arrived which astonished me. She sent regular updates and pictures which was very kind of her since I'm a worrier by nature. Ashley is definitely on my list to contact when we travel again.”

“Miranda is INCREDIBLE. I almost want to leave a bad review so I can keep her to myself and no one will know how amazing she is. The communication was great - pictures with an update every morning and evening about not only our pets but the general state of the home. We will absolutely use her again and can’t recommend her enough!”

Amelia H.

“I can’t say enough good things about Madeleine. She took great care of my dogs and even took them on a little outing. Not only did she look out for Poppy and Triton but after I came home from a weekend away, my house was immaculate! Madeleine went above and beyond and I am so genuinely grateful to have found her!”

“Mariah was great with our dogs, I was so worried to leave them but she did a fabulous job. She sent photos to us every day. Our dogs were excited to see us when we got home but I also got the feeling they were waiting for her to come back too! Our house was also clean and everything in its place. We would definitely rebook with Mariah!”

“Tom was great to work with and took wonderful care of our high maintenance dogs!”

“I’m really happy I was able to find Nicole! She was very quick to respond when my husband and I had to put in a last minute request, was very professional and scheduled a meet and greet that same day. She gave us updates on how they were doing and gave us peace of mind that our boys were taken care of. Even our neighbors noticed how attentive she was. 10/10 will hire again.”

About: I’ve always had a dog my whole life and I still do! I have owned/taken care of a range of animals of different sizes from very large to small. My dog is a huge part of my life and his care is always a priority for me🙂 I own a dog myself so pet care fits into my daily life, every single day. My dog serves as a constant reminder of an everyday responsibility that I have. I always make sure my dog has water and his toys out to keep himself busy during the day. I love to spend quality time with the animals and make sure they get enough time when being outside.
