About: I’ve always had dogs and cats in the house. I have experience caring for both from birth to end of life. I can give medications, hand feed, clean incontinence/accidents, scoop and clean litter boxes, administer subcutaneous IV fluids, walk, play, and anything your baby may need. I will care for them as if they are my own and would love to spoil them. My schedule is semi-flexible as I work from home. I’m available afternoons and evenings. Feel free to reach out if a different time is needed and I will see what I can do. I am offering drop in visits and walking for right now. I will be respectful of your property and sensitive and patient with your baby.
About: Three dogs, three personalities, three very different experiences. I’ve raised and cared for three dogs from puppyhood through adulthood: Nova, an American Cocker Spaniel, Ansel, a Rottweiler, and Coco, a Chocolate Lab. That experience has taught me how to work with dogs of different sizes, energy levels, temperaments, and needs. I know every pup is different, and I believe their care should be too. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk, a potty break, some playtime, or simply a little company while you’re away, I’m here to make sure they feel happy, safe, and cared for. Although I have a regular job, pet care fits naturally into my schedule. I’m available during my off-hours for walks and drop-in visits, allowing me to give your pup quality time and attention while you’re away. I value reliability, consistency, and making every visit a positive experience for your dog. I treat every pet with the same care and attention I give my own three dogs. I make sure my dogs get regular exercise, playtime, attention, mental stimulation, fresh water, and a consistent routine. I also pay close attention to their individual personalities and needs. When caring for your pet, I’ll follow their normal routine and your instructions closely, prioritize their safety, and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Friendly. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
