“Booked for dog walking and I am confident my dog also gives her 5 stars. My dog loved Ali immediately, first sight. Ali is attentive to her and clearly skilled with her. My dog is intelligent and PARTICULAR about leaving me. Notoriously bad at taking commands from strangers. When Ali arrived for just the second walk, my dog was loving her and ready to head out at the first sight of her. And my dog gets long walks every day the weather allows, so walking alone is not the draw here. Ali communicates beautifully with me as an owner, does great follow-up when she returns from the walk, and clearly loves what she does. No complaints in my house. I don't generally leave my dog care to anyone else, but Ali”

About: As someone who has been around dogs since the age of 9, pet care comes naturally to me. I have always had a deep love and appreciation for animals, and have made it my mission to care for them intentionally. Over the years, I have gained extensive experience in pet sitting, dog walking, and basic grooming. I take pride in providing the highest level of care for every pet I encounter, and strive to create a comfortable and safe environment for them. My passion for animal welfare drives me to always go above and beyond for the pets under my care, ensuring that they receive the love and attention they deserve. Dog sitting is a great option for me. I can easily take care of the dog during the day while I work, and have plenty of time to spend with them on the weekends. Plus, since I'm already at home, it's convenient for me to give the dog the attention and care they need throughout the day. When entrusted to care for a dog owner's pet in their home while they are away, I provide attentive and responsible care. This involves following the owner's instructions for feeding, exercise, and any medication or special needs the pet may have. I also make sure the pet receives plenty of love and attention, with regular playtime and cuddles. Additionally, I keep the home clean and tidy, and communicate with the owner as needed to ensure they have peace of mind knowing their pet is in good hands.

I work a couple evenings during the week, but I’m free most mornings and afternoons. My flexible schedule allows me to give pets consistent, focused care and attention. I respect each owner’s boundaries and follow all routines to ensure pets feel safe and at ease. Whether I’m keeping your home tidy and secure while you’re away or walking your dog with care and intention, I’m fully invested in your pet’s health, happiness, and overall well-being.

Ceondra K.
“Ceondra was the best sister I ever had! She is a real cat lover and it was obvious from the moment that she walked in the door that she was the right fit! She sent tons and tons of pictures of my babies, and even went above and beyond to trim all their nails without charge, and gave each of them a cute little bowtie! I would never choose anyone else to watch my babies. 20out of 10 service right here, doesn’t get any better than Ceondra!”

Jeanette V.
“Jeanette is a very caring and responsible person. Her family has always owned pets and now that she is out on her own she has a fish and adopted a cat from the local humane society. She really wanted a dog however she was mature enough to realize that with her work schedule she would not have the time needed to care for a dog properly. She has several dog sitting experiences and understands the importance of following an owner's instructions.”
