About: I have over 19 years of experience. I can help with Pet Walking and Pet Sitting. Over the years I have cared for (and loved .. and certainly have been loved by!) many dogs and cats (and other pets).. I am looking forward to meeting you and your pets. Thank you .. I am excited to care for your pet (s) next! I love and treat your pets as though they are my own. I always like to spend as much time as possible your pets, whether the pets parents are working during the day, or the family is on vacation. Whether you prefer your dog (s) walked and/or playing in the yard-- or just a potty break and quality indoors playtime/hangout time... I'm excited to help; I am also available for overnight visits, if that's something you're interested in for your pets. I enjoy it, and it really bonds me with them (obviously the more time spent with them, the more comfortable the pets are with you). I love cats, too! Fish, you name it. I am new to the area, and looking to continue doing what I've done for 20 + years: My time is very flexible (*especially now just getting started) and prices are flexible. I like to spend as much time as possible with the pets! I am certainly willing to spend a lot of time with them. Excited to become fast friends with your pets! I do not live alone-- so I have always cared for pets in the client's home (or other friends and family) ... I will do whatever the client wants, and stick as close to the routine as possible; Dog walks, and/or playing with dogs inside the house (and in yards), and caring for cats inside the home are perfect. I am more than happy to adapt and do what pet parents ask, and love them as much as possible until they are back in your care.


18. Kim V.

“Kim provided wonderful care to our very active Vizsla puppy! We love the detailed report of her visit and photo of our girl! Kim took the time to ask about the details for visit and took care of all of our requests. Happy to have found a friendly and reliable helper for our family! Thank you, Kim!!”


19. Sheena A.

“Sheena is great with my dogs. I’ve used her for daycare and for drop in service. She is reliable and I would recommend her.”

About: I’ve had pets my whole life from dogs to cats to bunny’s and chickens. I am a huge animal lover. I’ve also had about seven years of experience with rover because my family did it while I was living at home and now that I’ve moved out I would like to do the same. I am currently working for a company called sherwin williams from 7-3 Monday through Friday but am available late afternoons, nights, and weekends and any days I may have off I’ve had two family dogs and five family cats. I currently own a cat right now she’s super sweet and great with other animals. I’ve dog sat for many friends and helped my family with their rover career so I have plenty experience with all different breeds.
