“Teresa has been great for our two dogs! She shows up on time and is very friendly. She even manages to get our dog Lou to walk for his full 30 minutes. In the past, he was not of fan of long walks. We will continue to book with Teresa!”

“Ky has been wonderful with my two terriers. Some days they are reluctant to go on their walks, but she is patient with them and they really like her. She is punctual, polite and seems to know a lot about dogs. I look forward to engaging her services in the future.”

About: Over 20 years as a dog owner. I'm semi-retired. I've been watching friends' and friends of friends' pets for years. I've been the only house/dog sitter for a pair of Dalmatians for the last 5 years. I've handled puppies that are still working on becoming housebroken as well as senior dogs that need regular medication and extra care. I do in-home tech support/ IT work. When a customer's animals have warmed up to me, I've been asked if I did pet sitting as well. It feels good when the pet picks you. My working schedule is very flexible, I'm usuably able to adjust it to make sure I'm available to see to your pet's needs. If I commit to caring for your critters they will be my scheduling priority. I don't have pets in my own home. When house/pet sitting, besides feeding, walking and picking up after the pets I'm capable of handling household issues that might come up.

About: I have been taking care of pets for over six years. I have cared for fish, cats, and dogs. I have a big dog myself so large dogs do not scare me. I am great with animals and am more than willing to do house sitting, day time check ins, walking, bathing, etc.! I am about to graduate from school so I will be home all the time and will be able to stop by for house visits or to hang out with pets all day. Though for things like walking dogs would prefer to do that in the morning in order to beat the heat! I have a large fenced in yard with one dog to keep others company. My dog is crate trained and is non aggressive. In the house there is no chemicals or other harmful substances that pets could access. Additionally most cabinets and such are baby proofed so cats or other small pets would not be able to get in or trapped.
“Shirley was very good with my 9 year old Siberian husky. Shirley was also able to work around my schedule which work out good for both of us. I would recommend Shirley for good pet care.”

About: With over 10 years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages, I treat every pup like family. I specialize in both puppy training and gentle senior care, giving each dog the personalized attention they need. Whether it’s sticking to special diets, administering medication, or keeping routines consistent, I go above and beyond to make dogs feel at home and owners feel at ease. Dogs are part of my everyday life — my schedule naturally revolves around walks, feeding times, play sessions, and quiet rest breaks. I make sure every pup gets a balance of exercise, affection, and downtime, so they stay happy, healthy, and relaxed while in my care. In my home, dogs enjoy a safe, clean, and cozy environment with supervised play, comfy resting areas, and plenty of love. I maintain their usual routines, offer outdoor breaks and walks, and give each dog personalized care based on their personality. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their household rules closely and treat every space and pet as if they were my own.
“Honestly one of the best walkers we’ve ever had. Timely, communicative and understanding. One of our doggos is a rescue and has trust issues, so it can be challenging for new people to walk him. Sandi, however, has been incredibly patient with him and seems to have earned his trust. You won’t regret booking her!”

“Debbie is absolutely the best! She is so very gentle, kind and patient with our shy girl. When we met her she got down to Blossom’s level and slowly introduced herself and Blossom come to her. In the pics we receive from the walks we can see our girl is relaxed and enjoying her walk. I cannot stress enough, Debbie is the best.”

About: I grew up on a small farm, so caring for animals has become second nature for me! I’m comfortable with everything from goofy puppies to slow-and-steady seniors, and I adjust my pace and play style to match each pet’s needs. I’m experienced with basic puppy manners (crate time, consistent potty breaks, and gentle leash practice) and have a soft spot for senior dogs and cats who need extra patience, meds on schedule, and cozy, low-stress routines. I currently am in nursing school, but still maintain a flexible schedule Monday-Wednesday I’m free after 3. Thursday- Sunday I have pretty much all day free for your fur baby’s needs! I currently offer, home visits, and 30–60 minute walks. I share my home with an 80 lb black Lab and have lots of experience with high-drive, energetic breeds like Belgian Malinois, German Shepherds, and German Shorthaired Pointers. I also love working with cats and have a few of my own, so feline friends are always welcome!

“Tracey was amazing with my dog while we were out of town for the day. She came to our house while we were away and took our dog for 2 walks and made sure to send me updates as well. She even brought in some packages that were delivered that day while we were out. Wi definitely be working with Tracey again in the future.”
