1. Brittany A.
“Brittany is quite literally one of the purest and most genuine souls I know. She’s incredibly hard working, and always goes above and beyond in what she does. I met her while gathering information at the doggie daycare she worked at and she was so patient answering all of my questions and showing me around. My dog has separation anxiety and doesn’t always get along with other pups so I was hesitant about putting him in daycare; ultimately I decided not to but Brittany left such an impression on me that I reached out and asked if she’d be willing to come to my home and watch Milo when I would go out of town. She really understood him and his needs, I felt completely comfortable with him in her care. 10/10 Recommend, you won’t be disappointed!!!”

5. Taylor R.
About: Ever since I was a kid, I’ve had a special bond with dogs. My first “client” was my neighbor’s golden retriever, Max, who would wait by the fence every afternoon for our daily walk. As I got older, word spread, and soon I was walking and sitting dogs of all shapes and sizes—energetic huskies, stubborn bulldogs, and the sweetest little dachshund who insisted on being carried halfway through every walk. Each dog taught me something—patience, responsibility, and the pure joy of companionship. Whether it was early morning walks, rainy-day snuggles, or playing fetch until we were both exhausted, I loved every moment. Now, I bring that same love and care to every pup I meet, treating them like family. I’m available for pet care throughout the day, making it easy to fit into your schedule. Here’s a general outline of my availability: Morning Walks & Care (7 AM – 11 AM): Perfect for early risers or dogs who need a morning potty break, exercise, or feeding. Midday Visits & Walks (11 AM – 3 PM): Great for pet parents at work who need someone to check in, provide a walk, or give some midday love and attention. Afternoon & Evening Walks (3 PM – 7 PM): Ideal for after-work exercise, feeding, or an evening potty break. Overnight & Extended Care (Available Upon Request): If you need pet sitting for a few hours, overnight, or while you’re away, I offer customized care to keep your pet happy and comfortable. I’m flexible and happy to adjust based on your pet’s needs! Reach out anytime to schedule a visit. Reliable Dog Walking & In-Home Pet Visits I offer personalized care for your pets, whether they need a refreshing walk or a comforting visit at home. Dog Walking: Regular walks help keep your pup happy, healthy, and full of energy. Whether it’s a quick potty break or a long adventure, I tailor each walk to your dog’s needs—rain or shine! In-Home Visits: Need someone to check in on your pet while you’re away? I provide in-home visits that include feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of love to ensure your pet feels safe and comfortable. I treat every pet like family and adjust to their unique routine. Contact me to schedule a walk or visit today!

She took extra time to play with our boys every time she visited, on top of ensuring their food was taken care of, and the litter box was clean. I highly recommend working with her!”


9. Priscilla J.
About: I’ve been working with animals professionally now for 3 years. I have worked in shelters, clinics, and doggy daycare and boarding as well as owned animals my whole life. I am currently going to school for dog training! I have multiple pets in my home every day. I have a dog named Zoomie, a cat named Nala, and a pet rat named Rocket. Zoomie and Nala get fed twice a while getting enrichment activities daily. Zoomie gets walks and playtime in the yard and Nala has her own leash and harness and gets to explore the yard as well. I am also going through dog training school so all day I am learning new things about different dog breeds and enrichment. I currently am a full time student and have a part time job so my schedule changes weekly! I have been learning different enrichment activities and training exercises that will help a dog stay mentally enriched and would plan on walking the dogs multiple times a day so that their physical exercise is met. I am quite flexible and can do almost any special requests that a client might need!


10. Julia D.
“I have known Julia for a while from a professional standpoint where she has always been respectful and caring of other. The same treatment is also brought over to the pet caring world. She has shared her fun experiences with the dogs she cares for and it appears that the pooches are having lots of fun as she takes them for long walks and provides plenty of loving attention to them. Some dogs have made a mess of themselves a few times while out in the fields, but she cleans them up to ensure they are in tip top shape.”


11. Madison B.
“There is no one better in the world with dogs. She's known as the neighborhood "dog whisperer" and her love for animals continues to grow every day. She's responsible, respectful, polite, caring and loves each animal as if they were her own best friend.”


12. Dominic G.
“Dominic is interested in taking care of your dog! He is very gentle and loving with animals. He has a small dog named Tank who is like his best friend! Tank is very close to Dom and sits very close to him most of the time. Dominic will attend to your pets needs for feeding, playing outside and for love and attention. They have recently put in a privacy fence which will allow for safety and for play in the large back yard. There are no cats in his home, just Tank and and 2 geckos. I find Dominic to be a responsible pet owner and caregiver.”

I highly recommend her!!”
