Due to my work schedule, I'm not able to plan many things with much advance notice - but, when I can get away at the last minute, Malik is my saving grace. He can almost always schedule me at the last minute for a much needed time off, for which I am very grateful!

She was great. Even called out my baby’s bumps she has all over and wanted to make sure that was normal. What Melissa didn’t know is we had two other dog walkers that day and neither of the other two walkers mentioned a thing about it. I would definitely rebook Melissa again.

Leroy was a big help, when we brought our puppy home. Skye really enjoyed seeing him for her potty break every day, while I was at work. I would highly recommend him to anyone! And if I need a pet sitter again, he would be my first choice.

Danielle was absolutely amazing! She came to check on my cat Kiki on Christmas day and even brought her couple of toys! Danielle called me and even send me pictures of Kiki when she came to visit to show me everything was ok with her! Kiki loved her and played with her despite the fact that she is very skittish around new people. We will be definitely booking Danielle again!

Cheryl was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond taking care of our dogs! We booked her for drop in visits while we were out of town for a long weekend and she was on top of everything. She left detailed reports after every visit and sent pictures! My dogs were probably more spoiled with her than they are with me!!

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong, hands-on experience with animals of all kinds. I’ve cared for Great Danes, Labs, mixed breeds, and cats, so I’m comfortable with different sizes, temperaments, and needs. I currently have two dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to treat every pet like family. I’ve also volunteered at local shelters, where I provided loving care, cleaned cages, and supported daily routines. I’m experienced with basic puppy care, patient with senior pets, and attentive to cleanliness, including litter box maintenance and general hygiene. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. While I’m in pharmacy school, work part-time, and serve in the Army National Guard, I have a flexible schedule with availability during evenings and weekends. I’m not in class all day, which allows me to plan dedicated time for pet visits, walks, and care. I’m reliable and organized, so I make sure every pet gets the attention they need. You can trust that I’ll work around my schedule to provide consistent, loving care for your pet. I provide care in my client’s home to keep pets comfortable in their familiar environment. I offer services like walks around the neighborhood, feeding, playtime, and making sure they stay on their normal routine. I’m attentive to each pet’s needs and will follow any specific instructions you provide. At this time, I do not offer boarding in my home or transport pets in my car, but I’m happy to provide reliable, loving care during drop-in visits and walks.

About: Over the past four years, I’ve cared for dozens of dogs and cats for friends and family—walking, feeding, playing, and giving them love while their people were away. What started as doing favors turned into something I genuinely enjoy and feel confident doing, so I thought… why not finally offer it professionally? While I’ve never had a pet of my own (yet!), I treat every animal I care for like they’re family. I take time to learn their routines, preferences, and personalities to make sure they feel safe and happy while you’re gone. I’m attentive, gentle, and great at reading an animal’s vibe—whether they want playtime, cuddles, or just someone calm nearby. I’d love to meet your furry companion and be someone you can count on. Let’s chat about how I can help! I currently work part-time most of my work days are during the weekend so throughout the week I am home all day pretty much every day! I am to make sure I learn the routines of each of my clients and ensure that the pets feel like they are at home!

Madison was absolutely amazing with goofy Cooper. She was on-time, spent extra time and sent videos of Cooper running, playing and jumping around the backyard. He was calm, happy and not at all anxious when I returned. 5 stars all the way. She even turned on a program, I'd never seen before, Amazing job. Happy Dog! Thrilled Owner!

Nakisha was amazing! She was always on time and very dependable. She even stopped by before the scheduled dates to meet the dogs, which gave me peace of mind before my trip. I left detailed instructions, and she followed everything perfectly without needing to reach out. If you’re going out of town and want someone reliable so you don’t have to worry, Nakisha is the perfect dog walker. Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Once again, Sherri has taken great care of our dog Pico. Even on short notice, she has been very accommodating. With all of my health issues, it is hard to make plans too far out, so her flexibility has been very valuable to us. Pico seems to like Sherri as well. 💜

Kyra did an amazing job caring for my high energy senior, Zelda while I went away for a few days. She sent update pics and videos each drop in visit she did. Would recommend Kyra 10/10! Very sweet and apparent she is a dog lover like me. Just to give some background, I’ve been a professional dog trainer since 2007 and I’m particular about how my dog is cared for and Kyra met my expectations 😊
