About: I have taken care of dogs on and off for 2 years now, and have decided to make a more permanent space in my life for it. I love all doggies, and cannot wait to meet your sweet fur baby! I have experience with senior care and puppy care. I am currently a full time stay at home mom, so I am available any time to chat or answer any orations you may have. I have a non fenced in yard, but have plenty of time to take your pup on walks around town. I live in a friendly small town neighborhood!

“Ashley did amazing with our two dogs. She even paid attention to our GSP whose ears bother him from time to time. We didn’t mention it to her and she noticed…how thoughtful!! Both our dogs are energetic and she did great keeping them happy and feed. She stayed a bit longer on the last day just to make sure they were feed before she left. We appreciate her attention to detail, keeping the house tidy, and our pets happy!!! We will have her back!!!”


About: I treat every pet like family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m experienced with dogs of all ages, including seniors and pups with special needs, and I’m great at reading body language to make sure every pet feels at ease. Whether it’s playtime, cuddle time, or just keeping their routine steady, I bring patience, reliability, and a whole lot of heart to every visit. I graduated this May and currently hold a part-time position, so my schedule will be fairly open this summer to give your pup the time and attention they need. When caring for pets in their own home, I make sure to follow their usual routines closely—whether that’s feeding, walking, playtime, or rest—so they feel comfortable and secure. I give lots of attention, cuddles, and positive reinforcement to keep them happy and relaxed. I prioritize clear communication with the pet owner to make sure I’m meeting all their needs and providing the best care possible.

“Emily stepped in last minute when our sitter no called no showed. She was a life saver and we’re so thankful for her willingness to help, on a holiday no less. She sent amazing pictures, and was flexible with her own schedule so our dogs could be well cared for. Highly recommend Emily to anyone looking for reliable care!”


“Hailee was AMAZING!! Ryker took to her right away like he had known her his whole life. He did great while we were gone. We were worried he wouldn't eat well and be sad (he lost his companion a few months ago) but he did so good and ate well. I think it's because Hailee has a way with animals, I think they are drawn to her ❤️. We will definitely use Hailee in the future!”


About: I have owned pet dogs and cats my entire life. As an adult, I have helped raise and care for two cats and currently live with an older dog that I get to love and care for. I love dog walks and am physically capable and willing to care for any size and temperament of dog. I am a teacher in the school district, so I have a lot of free time in my schedule this summer, so what your pet's needs are is priority #1. Our dog has a steady daily schedule of a breakfast treat, a stim toy, a bone for lunch, a walk, and a kong. She always has access to water and dry food. She has a "treat" button she can press to ask for more at anytime. In the summer, we try to walk when it's cooler out and do two smaller walls since she's getting older. Whatever your dog needs for care in your home, please let me know. I'll make sure they get it, along with a few ear scratches and bully rubs.
