About: Throughout my life, I’ve grown up with cats & dogs and have learned to care for all their needs. I love making pets happy! I am interested in taking care of dogs & cats. I am open every morning from 7am - 11am. Afternoons from 2pm - 4pm & again in the evening 6pm - 8pm. I will make it a priority that your pet is cared for while you are away. I enjoy taking them on walks, giving them play time and extra love! Each morning, I take my dog out for a walk or play time for about 20 min. This gives him a chance to go potty. I take my dog out every 3-4 hours. I always make sure my pet has food and water throughout the day. Depending on the weather, and if I have to be gone for 3-4 hours, my dog gets to go to the dog park for more exercise later that afternoon. I will always make sure your pet has fresh water, good exercise, and enough potty time too. Making sure your pet is taken care of & feels loved while you’re away will be my priority!

“Jackie did a great job for us! We had several changes to the schedule which she was more than happy to acommodate. We so appreciated her flexibility and willingness to roll with the changes. Would definitely request her anytime we need it. Thank you Jackie!”


“Pat is the best!”


About: As a little kid, I grew up with a dog and then got two dogs of my own as an adult. I raised all my dogs from puppies all the way through to end of life. I have dog sat for family and friends as well so I have experience with many breeds and conditions of care. I am currently available most weekends for whatever your fur babies need and I have some flexibility with my schedule during the week so I may be able to help out! I have a large (unfenced) yard for dogs to play in. I have a crate if needed. I have a walking path nearby to take long walks.

“We are very happy to meet Amanda, she was so sweet with Arthur and we are looking forward working with her in the future.”


“Michelle is the absolute best. So kind and my dog loved walking with her! Definitely recommend for all services!”


About: Hi! I’m Tessa, and I’ve been working with dogs professionally since 2017. I currently manage a dog daycare and live with three amazing pups of my own, so dogs are truly a part of my daily life—both personally and professionally. Whether your dog is playful, shy, or reactive, I’ve got the experience and patience to meet them where they are. I'm super reliable and passionate about giving every dog the care, structure, and attention they need to thrive on their walks. From high-energy adventures to calm neighborhood strolls, I tailor every walk to your pup’s needs. Your dog’s safety, happiness, and trust come first—always. Let’s get your pup moving! I am available as needed to get some energy out or let your pup out/feed them! Shoot me a message and we will make something happen!! I own 3 pups, and 2 cats. Every animal has feelings & needs. Every dog in my care will be treated with empathy and kindness. Dogs don’t know how to communicate which is something us as humans often forget!

“Elizabeth was great! She responded to a last minute request for a walk with my Whiskey. She kept me updated when she would arrive, took photos on the walk, let me know when he did his business and really cared. Will definitely be going back to her for future walks and care!”


About: I have taken care of my childhood dog since she was a puppy until she passed away, proficient in taking care of their needs, walking, attention, feeding, playing. I have dog sat for neighbors as well. I worked in a senior living facility as a CNA and I currently work in healthcare as a nurse so patience is one of my strong features. I currently work 3 shifts a week Friday Saturday and Sunday all 12 hour days. This allows me to have free time and no work obligations Monday through Thursday. I love getting outside and exercising on those days off and would love a good companion to take with me on walks. I typically go to the gym during those days too but I am flexible with my schedule during those days off. I have an apartment with a private entrance and a garage, my apartment complex has areas to go to the bathroom for dogs and plenty of walking trail opportunities. I have a decent open space in my living room for them to stretch out. I can accommodate a large crate or kennel and a litter box easily.

About: Hello, I am 22 and love animals. I have always had dogs in my house (large dogs). Now have my own dog with my fiancé . But I have lots of experience helping out family with caring for animals and then started branching out through word of mouth. I’m currently working at a dental office and on a break from school. As I decide what future schooling may look like for me. I have one day off during the week usually planned a week or so ahead of time and night plus weekend availability. I would love to provide your dog with anything it may need. From snuggle and love to a quick bathroom break or a snack. I love to get steps in during my day as well and can always bring your pup along.

About: I’ve helped my parents house-sit dogs since around 10 years old. Moving out I continued to care for my friends' fur babies, showering them with the love and care they deserve. I’m looking to reach out more and meet new fur babies and help out more people because as a dog mom myself, I understand life can get busy! And just as I have my own fur baby in mind, I understand wanting the best care for them and a peace of mind while away which I aim to provide. I’m a teacher so I am still able to help out but I am at work from 7-4pm and 5pm on Thursdays, so please keep that in mind if your fur baby would need someone to check in on them in the middle of the day (but I’m willing to talk about it and came up with a possible game plan). As a dog mom myself, I treat all animals the way I’d want someone to treat my dog. I treat each pet as if they’re my own, keeping the owners in mind and respecting the wishes of the owners. Being in someone else’s home I am a very conscious and cautious person to ensure the safety and well-being of your pet as well as your property.

“Thank you so much for walking crew! Out door lock was malfunctioning and there was great communication! Will definitely use in the future. Thank you again!”

Joshua P.
“Josh is the best pet caregiver I have known. He immediately takes to any animal I’ve seen him interact with, and most importantly, they immediately take to him. He has helped me unconditionally in caring for my cat and dog while I’m away, has helped with vet visits and other travel, and treats them as his own. They love to spend time with him. He recently lost his beloved dog of 17 years. My heart breaks for his continued grief for her, & I know he will greatly benefit from connecting with other pets. Any pet owner would be lucky to have their pets cared for by him as he is trustworthy, diligent and incredibly intuitive. His positive energy radiates consistently from him, & he is who these sweet animals need in their lives.”

“Hannah did a drop in visit for my dog and 4 cats. She not only fed them, but took extra time to spend with them so they wouldn’t be lonely. When I came back, they were all happy and content. I highly recommend her to watch and care for your fur babies!”
