About: I love many animals & I have owned 3 dogs who I love. Besides that I currently work at a pet boarding & daycare for the last 4 years which allows me to experience all sorts of personalities and needs that a dog may have as well as provide all the cuddles and treats warranted/ allowed. Lastly I was in a program in high school that allowed to experience what it’s like workings with other animals besides dogs and cats for 2 years. I currently work part time at my job, but I also am in school currently studying health science. I can consider taking dogs to my job as well to have daycare and be in my care during my shift as long as all the required vet shots are done, but I mainly want to do extra pet care on the days that I do not work as I love to be surrounded by pets throughout the week. Typically I can best work with Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, but weekdays are possible depending on time and amount of visits needed to meet your pets daily needs. I take my dogs out usually 3-5 times a day & leave water down throughout the day. Besides that she is normally fed 2x/day. At my job though we do 15 min walks if the parent wants that as an add on service so I’m used to the occasional long walk & dealing with dogs that require certain medicine, but am also up for learning new ways.




17. Alexandra C.

“Alexandra was amazing!! She treated our fur babies like her own. Just being around her you can tell she genuinely LOVES animals!! We will most definitely be using her services again!!!”


18. Hayden E.

“Hayden filled in last-minute when our original dog-sitter plans fell through. Whiskey was well taken are of. We came home to a very happy pup! We will definitely ask her to sit again for our next trip!”


19. Zach D.
“Zach is wonderful! He is very knowledgeable about the compassion and discipline dogs need to be the best versions of themselves. I know that my dog is in excellent hands any time she gets the privilege of spending time with him. Thanks, Zach!”




20. Joanna P.

“Joanna is awesome! She watched 3 of our dogs for the weekend and they're happy and well cared for. Will definitely book again.”
