About: I have 10 years of experience in dog care, dog rescue, and animal shelters. I am fear free certified, dedicated to practicing positive reinforcement and force free protocols. I ran a petsitting business until last year when I adopted my own dogs. I specialize in dogs with reactivity, newly adopted dogs, fearful dogs, and dogs with separation anxiety. I am dedicated to continuing my education on dog behavior through seminars and webinars. I am recently out of corporate America and am looking to spend more time with dogs in my area. I am open to walking dogs and drop in visits for pets any time of day! I care for pets in their home and environment, where they are already the most comfortable. I am dedicated to safety, comfort and keeping everyone as happy as possible!

“I’ve been using her dog walking service for several months, and she’s been outstanding. She’s dependable, attentive, and treats my dog like her own.

I can always feel her kindness and patience in the way she treats them.”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats….

I am home with h them to monitor and keep them company..I live alone and have a lot of space and am extremely attentive and protect of the animals in my care always.
About: You should pick me because I grew up with dogs my whole life, having multiple at a time plus cats, rabbits, and birds all under the same roof! Whenever I see a dog in public I love to engage with them. I've dog sat plenty of times from dogs that weigh 10 pounds to dogs that weigh 100. Whether they jump, bark, lick or always want to play I am always willing to give them love. It makes me smile when you know the dog is happy and when they feel comfortable with you. I am known to be a people person but people say I can be more of an animal person with giving them so much attention. I love dogs and they love me (plus any other animals!)
About: I’ve cared for dogs for years through family, friends, and people in my neighborhood. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, boarding, giving lots of attention, and keeping up with each pet’s usual routine. I know every dog has a different personality, so I try to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I work from home, so I have a flexible schedule and I’m available seven days a week. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and care throughout the day. I do my best to keep pets on their normal routine and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in my home or in their owner’s home. I pay close attention to instructions, routines, feeding schedules, and any special needs. I keep a clean, calm environment, make sure doors and leashes are secure, and give pets plenty of patience, affection, and supervision.
About: If you give me the opportunity to care for your pet, you'll feel at ease knowing I'll take care of it as if it were my own. I'll give it all the love and attention it needs to make you feel happy. Right now I'd like to dedicate myself solely to animals and their care. I have every day of the week free to dedicate myself to them. For me, all animals deserve the same treatment and care. I always give them my best, no matter the occasion. I will always give you all my love, attention and you will never lack my care.
About: I've walked my friends' rescue dog and helped take care of her. In addition, I have helped out friends and family members with their dogs. Also, I took care of a puppy for seven months. I am patient, gentle, energetic, and genuinely enjoy playing with the dogs. My values include always cleaning up after the dog. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine because I enjoy being active and spending time with dogs. Dog walking is something I am excited to do consistently. My current focus is on dog walking, rather than caring for pets in my own home. In a client's home, I would care for pets by following each owner's instructions carefully and respecting their home and routine. I would make sure the dog is safely leashed before we head out on a walk. During a walk, I would keep them secure and comfortable, clean up after them, and make sure they are safely back inside afterward.

Eilleen is soooo calm and our dogs picked up on her energy immediately. They love her! And she is punctual, responsible, takes initiative and communicates everything we need to know. I was totally relaxed and confident knowing she was taking good care of our boys!
Review 3 Katherine never disappoints. This is not my first time booking with her, and each time she delivers the same high level of care and attention. Picasso clearly enjoys being with her, and that says everything. Dependable, kind, and professional—I couldn’t ask for more.

I really appreciate her updates and photos after every walk. She’s far more than a dog walker — she truly loves and understands my dogs. I can always feel her kindness and patience in the way she treats them.
Lyz has been such a pleasure to work with. She's been great with our 8 month old boxer Ruby. Shes kept great communication with us filling us in how Rubys doing, asks for guidance on Rubys behavior since shes still in her pup stage, and follows instructions well. So happy to have found her.
