About: I care for only one guest dog at a time in a calm, peaceful home, alongside my easygoing dog, Mia. This allows me to give each dog plenty of attention in a relaxed, low-stress environment. I prioritize clear communication and regular updates with photos and Ring videos so you always feel confident and connected while you’re away. I also have hands-on experience caring for other dogs, including my brother’s Boxer, Yoli (featured in my photos). Yoli’s mom shared this testimonial: "Amy has taken care of my Boxer several times over the past year and always provides a great experience for my pup. My Boxer is very happy when I drop her off and greets Amy in a very excited manner. Any questions or concerns about my pup, by Amy, are a phone call or text to clarify. I have utmost faith in the care and love that Amy provides for my pup." My goal is simple: to make every dog feel safe, happy, and loved while in my care. I take the time to understand each dog’s personality, routine, and what makes them most comfortable so they truly feel at home. I treat every dog like family and create an environment where they can relax, feel secure, and be themselves. I like to leave things a little better than I found them. During drop-in visits, I walk the entire back yard and, if I see dog waste, I pick it up so your yard is clean when you get home. I have plenty of time and energy to care for dogs. My days are flexible, and I enjoy giving dogs attention, exercise, and affection through walks, playtime, or quiet companionship. On Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, I do one short drop-in visit during the day, so your pup may be alone briefly (typically under an hour). Daycare Hours: Drop-off 7:00 AM–10:00 AM | Pick-up by 6:00 PM Overnight Boarding Hours: Drop-off between 2:00 PM–7:00 PM | Pick-up between 10:00 AM–12:00 PM the next day Late evening drop-offs can be arranged with advance notice at no additional charge. Early / Late Hours: $10 per hour (even 15–20 minutes counts as one full hour). Client Note: Please let me know ahead of time what drop-off and pick-up hours you’re expecting so I can plan my day and make sure your dog’s care goes smoothly. 🐾 Personalized Care & Value Doggy Daycare Hours: 7 a.m.–6 p.m. (11 hours) Rate: $50 $/Hour: $4.55 Notes: Active daytime care, lots of interaction, play, and supervision Boarding Hours: 24 hours (day + night) Rate: $70 $/Hour: $2.92 Notes: Full day + night care, one-on-one attention, feeding, monitoring, and companionship Why this matters: Your dog gets high-quality, personalized care. Daycare covers high-energy active time, and boarding provides 24-hour supervision for one dog at a time — all at very fair rates. For safety reasons, I maintain a consistent verification process for all new clients before scheduling in-home meet & greets. In my home, dogs are always welcomed with love and attention. It’s a cozy space, full of care. I have a friendly 9-year-old Beagle/Jack Russell mix, Mia, who enjoys company and gets along well with other dogs. My yard is secured with an underground dog fence, and I have a collar and cones ready so your dog can safely explore and play alongside Mia. With your approval and when weather permits, I can help train your dog to understand the yard boundaries, so they feel confident and comfortable. I follow each dog’s usual routines for walks, meals, and rest, so they feel cared for and at ease. In my home, all dogs get filtered water. With your approval, I also offer I have outdoor Ring cameras and can share updates according to your preference--whether photos, video clips, or both, so you can see your dog while in my care. As far as grooming, I can bathe (I use diluted, unscented Castile soap 50/50 with water for a gentle, natural clean), brush them, and vacuum them with a dog vacuum. I care for only one guest dog in my home at a time, day or night, ensuring focused attention and comfort. My goal is for every dog to leave happy, relaxed, and feeling right at home. If I visit your home, I can walk or feed more than one dog at a time. Because I’m allergic to cats, I can visit your home to feed and water your cat(s); these are quick in-and-out visits, which I’ve done successfully for a neighbor many times.
“Abigail has been so wonderful!! My mini poodle is 9 months old and he can be a handful at times, Abigail is very patient and kind to him. I was able to set up a repeating schedule to cover my work days. She is very dependable and understanding. It brings me a lot of peace of mind knowing he is in good care while I’m at work.”

About: I have been taking care of pets since I was 12. Family friends woukd trust me to to take care of their cats and dogs when they went away for a while. I would help take care of the house as well. I love to go for walks with my dogs and go about 3 days a week with my dog Remi. I can watch dogs and cats when my family friends need me too. But also work part time at Pet Supplies Plus so I need a bit more time to plan when I work and when I can stop by and take care of pets. I always make sure pets have fresh food and water, follow their normal feeding schedule, provide exercise and playtime, clean up after them, and give them plenty of attention and affection. I also administer medication if instructed, keep their environment clean and safe, and update owners with photos and messages. In a client's home, I respect their routines and care instructions to help pets feel comfortable while their owners are away.

I have a very flexible work-from-home job, which allows me to curate my schedule to fit your pets’ needs. I can easily adjust my schedule to meet any feeding, potty, and walk schedule! I will connect with you prior to starting the service to talk about the specific needs of your pet, and what kinds of things may need special attention. If they are coming to my home, your pet will be safe and sound in my house with my two dogs, and will be watched with care. If I am dropping in or visiting tour dog at your house, I will be sure to understand their needs, quirks, and habits before I begin the service so that we have the most successful visit possible!
About: I have had my dog for 7 years now, and we have adopted our cat last year. I have also grown up with animals all my life and have helped friends and family take care of their animals! I am a teacher, so I have availability during the weekday in the summer. I am also available during the school year, but that is only on the weekends or evenings I enjoy taking my dog on walks around their neighborhoods so I have plenty of experience with dogs on leashes. I also love playing with animals inside or outside.
“Thank you! Lillie was able to come by with very little notice and arrived right on time. She was easy to communicate with and very patient with Squidward, who is shy and nervous around new people. They went for a walk, and when the heat became too much for him, she appropriately brought him back early. I had a good first experience and will likely book with her again so Squidward can continue getting comfortable with her.”

Throughout my life I’ve cared for a variety of furry, feathered, and even scaly friends. I’d love to help care for yours.

I can work with a variety of days/hours/care levels as needed. I treat every pet as if it were my own. Loving on them, meeting their daily needs, adjusting my approach based on the individual animal. Just like people, every pet is different and will thrive in a loving, trusting environment.

I am a Licensed Veterinary Nurse, therefore, I am educated in many aspects of caring for your pet. I know what to look for in case of illness, injury, etc. I can also do some other tasks, like toe nail trims, ear cleanings, etc. I am a dependable, trustworthy person who knows how important your pets are to you. I look forward to caring for your pets and/or walking your dog.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Grattan. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
