“Becky was great! We got daily updates and photos. Pups were happy to be at home while we were out of town instead of at a boarder. Becky even got our very nervous rescue pup to warm up!”


“Hired Kelly to see how petting would work for a trip in the future. Kelly was super friendly. Came for a quick house tour during the week and watched our pets on that Friday. She got here right when we asked. Feed and hung out with the dogs. Sent photos. Will hire again”

She made sure to send plenty of photos and was very respectful of our home. We plan on using Sara for any future needs to watch our dogs.”

About: I have worked with animals since I was in middle school. I enjoy being around animals and I want the best for them. I am certified and very good at what I do. I am currently working part time and also homeschooling my children so I will have ample time to care for your companion. I am available everyday after 3pm but sometimes I have morning's open as well. Communication is key with me so we can work something out so everyone is happy. I have learned fear free tactics that can help with introductions and getting comfortable. I can easily crate if needed and will calm down any stressful environment.

About: I have spent time around dogs, big and small, my whole life! I am particularly well-versed in big dogs over 100 pounds as I have been taking care of two Saint Bernards for the last few years. Also, I am comfortable with all levels of training! I am currently working a part-time job in the evenings on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, so I have plenty of time to care for your furry friends. During the week, I am free until 3pm, and I am very flexible on the weekends! Although I do not offer in-home services, I will always treat your pets and home as if it were my own! I pride myself in filled water bowls and happy animals! I will help keep you animals safe and your home clean!

“We ended up hiring Olivia at the last minute to watch our Australian Cattle Dog and three cats for the weekend. She was awesome! She kept in touch while we were gone, made sure everyone was taken care of, and left the house just how we left it. I even told her not to worry about the litter boxes, but she did them anyway. Little things like that say a lot. We’d definitely bring her back next time we need someone and highly recommend her!”


“Gaby was awesome! She showed up on time, sent photos and checked in daily. I had no worries or issues while I was away enjoying vacation and I will definitely rebook with her again! Prompt, professional and such a sweet person!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10 or 11. I have always grew up with dogs in my family household. I love caring for them, playing with them, and taking them on walks! I work full time but I’d love to walk your doggies when I am not needed at my job. I will of course try to keep any one that wants service updated on my availability. I will always treat your pets with respect and love and provide the utmost care. I will also always make sure their needs are met and that they feel safe.


“Kartik was wonderful!! He took such great care of our two dachshunds Toby and George. T+G are not always easy to deal with as they can pull or bark on walks but Kartik handled them like a pro. He gave numerous updates with plenty of pictures. Kartik was an absolute pleasure to work with!”
