“Rebeka is very sweet. Marshall was nervous going to a new place but she sat with him and cuddled with him, which is exactly what works. She was responsive and professional with all communication and we highly recommend her! Marshall had adjusted and was happy by the time we came to pick him up.”

About: We've had our own dogs for over ten years, and have pet-sat for countless of our friends over that time. One of our dogs was an intensely-traumatized rescue, who after intentional time and love, has become the absolute baby of the family. We're familiar with dealing with anxiety in dogs and making them feel as comfortable as possible, and have plenty of time and space to play! Tyler and Taylor both have flexible, contract-worker schedules that allow us to be home whenever we need. Taylor is often able to work from home and can accommodate the unique needs of whatever guest we have! We have an array of options for creating ideal environments for pets, with baby gates, a large yard that can be segmented for dogs needing smaller spaces or space from others, and multiple kennels.

About: Experienced Dog Owner & Sitter – Reliable, Active, and Caring Hi! I'm a lifelong dog lover with over 20 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I grew up with a terrier mix and a black lab, and as an adult, I've cared for a German Shorthaired Pointer and now my current companion, Reggie—a 1.5-year-old Basenji. Reggie is friendly, well-socialized, and loves being around other dogs. I’m especially experienced with puppies and enjoy the energy and patience they require. Reggie and I stick to a consistent daily routine that includes at least a mile of leash walking each day—usually split into multiple walks, with outings early in the morning (as early as 5–8 AM), mid-morning, an afternoon potty break, and a longer walk in the evening. Our home is dog-friendly, safe, and has a fenced-in yard perfect for supervised play. We welcome only one guest dog at a time to ensure plenty of individual attention and a calm environment.

Safety-First, Thoughtful Pet Care in a Calm and Controlled Environment For every pet care job—whether it’s dog walking, drop-in visits, or in-home hosting—I approach each responsibility with a safety-first mindset. I begin by assessing the environment, checking for any potential hazards, and observing the dog's temperament, energy level, and overall health to ensure they’re set up for a positive experience. I come fully prepared with all the essentials: leashes, treats, food (if needed), cozy beds and blankets, separate water bowls, poop bags, and anything else your pup might need to feel safe and comfortable. I believe dogs thrive in calm, predictable environments. As the walker or sitter, I take the lead in maintaining a peaceful, structured atmosphere where your dog can feel secure, enjoy their time, and have fun—all while staying under steady and attentive supervision.

About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life.Since I was 5yrs old, I’ve lived with fur babies, except when I attended college for 4 years and even then my family always kept me updated, sending me photos and videos of my fur babies to keep a smile on my face. I also care for a lot of my friends and families animals, when they are away. I’ve always had a special place in my heart for animals. Especially dogs, because I grew up with them. They aren’t just animals to me, they are like humans. I definitely treat them as if they were children. Not only will your fur baby be cared for, happy, healthy,and loved, but if needed, I am also able to administer medication should they have any health issues. I currently work on an as needed basis at my current job, because I am finishing my graduate degree online so I can go back into the classroom and teach, which is another thing I love to do, so I have plenty of time to take care of your fur baby. I live in my own single family home, so your fur babies will be able to run and play in the backyard, which is fenced in. We also will go for walks around the neighborhood (only if your dogs wants to) because most dogs enjoy the scenery. I will also send you photos and videos throughout the day of your fur baby to put your mind at ease, so you always feel comfortable. A meet and greet is no problem, so you can get to know me to feel more comfortable.
