“Teresa is wonderful with my elderly girl, Maggie. She watches her to know how she is doing and alters her walks to accommodate Maggie. She’s so loving and caring with her!”

About: I grew up on a farm with dogs. We had hunting dogs, working dogs, and lap dogs. Sometimes those were all the same. I learned how to connect and work with dogs at an early age and have never been without a dog in my life. Whenever my friends need help, they always ask me first. My current dog is a female goldendoodle that I love very much and I’ll be sure to show your pet the same care! I’m currently in grad school so my schedule is pretty flexible depending on the week. Weekends are usually my most open time, but I’m also free to do walkings and boardings during the week. I have a large fenced in back yard with plenty of space to run around. Inside, there’s plenty of place for your dog and mine and they should get along quite well. My dog does not have a mean bone in her body. If needed, I can separate your pet during feeding etc, as I have a gate to block off sections of the house.

“Not only did Brittany take the BEST care of my sweet Penny, but she also documented it with tons along photos and written narrative. I felt completely in the loop. Thank you Brittany!”


About: I learned how to care for dogs from a young age. When I was 8, my family adopted a yellow lab, and ever since then, I've had a strong love for dogs. It was a big responsibility and a privilege to have a dog while growing up and seeing how to properly take care of her. Sadly, she passed when I was 16. During the pandemic, my mom adopted another puppy, and I had the opportunity to help train him at the puppy stage and relearn what that looks like. He's a black lab mix, now 4 years old. While I was getting my master's degree in 2022, I lived with six animals: a golden retriever, malinois, toy poodle, two pugs, and a calico cat. I was often asked to take care of them, occasionally for long periods of time, which also aided in my knowledge. This experience also gave me insight into caring for cats, especially since I had never been around one before. I'm currently working full time, Monday through Friday from 9am-3pm. I would love to take care of pets after or before work, and during lunch. I currently have one cat. I love to play with and take care of both cats and dogs. I’m here to make pets’ lives more fun and enjoyable while under my care!

“She helped me out in a pinch and I couldn't be more grateful. She is very good with communication, responds quickly, and has taken wonderful care of my dog. I highly recommend!”

My dogs stay uncaged in my home and i let them out multiple times a day. I have classes mon-wed. My dogs are spoiled and have plenty of snacks and play dates with my friend's dog.

About: I have a family dog that I helped train. We got her in 2020, and I had a dog before her. I would dog sit for my neighbors back home all through high school. I current complete research from home. I am in school until the end of April, but after that I will be home all day available to be home with your pets! When I am in school, I have class from 8am - 12pm each day. I have a fenced area near my town home. I also have a 3 story house for playing inside. I go on walks very often and would take the dog if that is allowed. Your dog would definitely get exercise with me if that is something you’d be looking for!

I am a very attentive person and notice any pattern changes in animals behavior. I am also very willing to answer any questions anyone might have! :)

I have experienced many years with easy and difficult dogs as being a pet owner myself, finding love and care for all creatures all life from dogs all the way to my 3-year-old goldfish. I can not wait to meet your furry family member and give them all the pets and love they fully deserve!

“As usual, Bexx was AMAZING with my fur-son. He gets dramatic when he can’t travel with me and acts like he has been completely abandoned. Bexx did a phenomenal job of caring for him and letting him be his pitiful self. 🤣🤣 You can’t go wrong booking with Bexx!”

George S.
“I met George through some mutual friends at school. I knew if they were friends with him he must be a solid guy. One day, I had an emergency at work and was scrambling to find somebody to help with my dog, Sampson. Sampson is a pit/shepherd mutt and a rescue who is usually very shy and doesn't like strangers. Not in an aggressive way, but is just scared of new people, especially men. George volunteered and after some deliberation I decided I didn't have much choice so I agreed. Apparently that first meeting went well because it wasn't long before George was sending me videos of he and Sampson playing in the backyard. I was so worried because I've never seen Sampson get along with strangers like that, even when I'm around. Once, Sampson got out of the house while I was gone and I couldn't find him when I came home so I called George. I can't believe he even agreed to help because I was bawling my eyes out and was completely hysterical. He got there, though, and I told him what I knew from social media (nextdoor) and George quickly decided what he thought Sampson was doing. Well in about 20 minutes he found Samspon, got him to recall, and brought him home. I tried for 2 hours to get him but everytime I got a glimpse, he would run away! Sampson is my first and only dog and I guess George just knew a lot more than I did because whatever he did worked like a charm. From then on, I used George as my go-to caretaker and Samspon completely adopted him. George basically went all over the Southeast with him and really treated him like his own if I was going to be gone for extended periods of time. He's helped Sampson a lot with his anxieties and my boy is so happy to have a friend like George.”

Catherine B.
“Given that Catherine and I grew up together, I would be the first to know how caring and loving she is with dogs. She was always the one to volunteer to take the dogs on walks and took the feeding chores any day of the week. I am completely confident that she would take the best care of any dogs, and you will definitely come home to lots of pictures of your furry friends to look at. She is one of the most caring humans I know, and I am certain she will have all dogs in great hands.”
