About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments—from playful puppies to wise senior pups. What sets me apart is my open-minded, patient approach coupled with a strong attention to detail. I make it a priority to understand each dog’s routine, energy level, and personality so they feel safe, seen, and loved. I have experience with crate training, basic obedience reinforcement, and administering oral medications. Whether it’s a slow walk for an older dog or high-energy playtime for a younger pup, I tailor every visit to their unique needs. I'm an elementary school teacher who goes back to the grind in September. I'm open 7 days a week! I can swing by when the time is best! Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I aim to keep things calm, consistent, and tailored to your pet’s routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat it with the same respect I would my own. I follow your instructions closely, maintain routines your pet is used to, and provide detailed updates with photos to keep you informed and at ease. My goal is to give your dog a stress-free experience, full of love and attention while you’re away.

“Alexa & Christian did a great job! Sent lots of pics which I love. Mabel seemed very happy when I got home and the house was in order. They walked her & engaged with her. Thank you so much!! ❤️”



“Liz was great with my two pups. I was a little nervous about leaving them. I had just adopted a senior pup about 10 months prior and my other pup is pretty attached to me. This was my first time leaving them for such a long time. They were happy and well taken care of. I got pictures and updates through out my trip. It definitely made my trip easier knowing Liz was there loving on them!”

Cody W.
“I have had the pleasure of knowing Cody both as a teacher and as a pet owner for more than a decade - there’s a surprisingly amount of overlap in skills that makes someone great at both. He’s patient, a great listener, and meets the other person or animal at their level. I’ve seen him track down and coax out a skittish cat hiding in the drop ceiling of a basement with catnip and the promise of chin rubs. I’ve seen his ability to teach a wild puppy how to politely walk on leash and stop at all crosswalks. 10/10 would recommend.”
