About: Personalized care - I treat every dog like my own, tailoring care to their unique needs and routines. Reliable & Trustworthy - Your pup’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. Plenty of Play & Love - Walks, cuddles, and fun activities to keep tails wagging! Additionally, I have an almost 2 year old golden retriever to give your pup a companion to play with while they are with me. Your dog deserves the best - let me be their second best friend! 🐾 Since I already have a dog of my own, pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. Walks, playtime, potty breaks, feeding schedules, etc. are already part of my day, so caring for other dogs seamlessly integrates into my routine. I work from home on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so I am available to assist with any needs your pet may have those days and offer boarding on weekends I am in town. Whether it’s morning strolls, afternoon playdates, or evening cuddles, I ensure every pup in my care gets the attention, exercise, and love they need - just like my own! In my home, I provide a safe, loving, and structured environment for every pet in my care. Comfort & Safety - A pet-friendly space with cozy spots for rest, play areas, and supervision at all times. Routine & Structure - Feeding, potty breaks, and naps follow a consistent schedule to keep pets comfortable. Socialization - Interaction with my own dog (if suitable) and enrichment activities to keep them happy. Updates for owners - Regular photos and updates so you always know how your pup is doing. I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home. 🤎
About: I have strong integrity in everything that I do. I want to serve you and love on your pets in the best way possible. I have been taking care of my dogs ( back home in Kentucky) since I was in first grade and trained my puppy and raised him. I have a strong passion and affection for all pets and since I cannot be home in Kentucky with my dogs for the summer I would love the opportunity to love and serve your pets! I am currently working as an RA at Lipscomb University and working part time in the missions and outreach office. That means that my schedule is very free and since I love being outside and absolutely love dogs, I felt like it would be a good use of my time (and hopefully a good way to earn an income) to spend my days walking and serving my neighbors! I would love to feed, walk, water, and give your dog the attention and love it deserves. If there are more specific needs or wants concerning your pet then I would be overjoyed to meet your needs in any way possible.

I was always taking my dogs on walks and was trusted by neighbors, friends, and family to walk and take care of their beloved animals! This is something I love to do! I currently work full-time but would love to make time in my days to take care of your pets! The best times for me are around lunchtime and after 4pm during the weekdays. Weekends are my fully open days, so time constraints would not be a major factor. When taking care of a client's loved animal, I make sure to follow any guidelines set forth from the client and I will always make sure I take care of them as if they were my own! This includes plenty of walk time, snack time, play time all while ensuring their safety no matter the location!

I am able and willing to adjust to whatever may work best for both of us. I’ll come over fully ready to give your pet all the attention that they need. I love to play with them, go on walks, and give them all the love they’re missing while you’re gone.
