About: I have had pets as part of my family my whole life. I treat each one I meet like they are my own and have provided care for friends and family throughout the years. During college I helped pet sitting future guiding eyes for the blind dogs. My current dog is now a senior at 11 yo American Bully. We have struggled with allergies since the day I adopted him at 10 months old. I know how to pay extra attention to skin and ear and can administer oral or topically meds. I work remote and have a flexible schedule. During your busy days I can provide drop ins for a bathroom breaks, play time, extra cuddles, and/or a walk. When I’m with your pets and in their space I will provide a safe and kind environment. They should never feel uncomfortable or nervous. As my dog has aged he has become more cautious, causing me to have to be more aware and respectful of the situations he’s in.
“Courtney and Izaic were wonderful to work with and really bonded with our dogs. They took them for great walks and gave them good attention. Thank you so much”

“Tanya goes above & beyond for my dogs, it’s so wonderful knowing they’re in great care! I have polar opposite dogs, an older, tiny yorkie with lots of needs, and a younger, energetic lab who’s very extra. She handles both of them amazingly in the same visits & I’m always thrilled to book with her again. Definitely reach out to her, you won’t regret it!”

I have a great knowledge of what our fuzzy friends need. family, friends and customers have trusted me to feed, walk, play, bathe, etc with their animals and they haven’t been let down yet.

“Great service as always with Jennifer”
About: I have worked with dogs for 4+ years to become service dogs and I have spent about half that time volunteering as an urgent responder for sick dogs. My Monday, Wednesday, Thursday evenings are busy from 5-8 but I am otherwise flexible! I’m a college student home for the summer so I am willing to work with you on timing. I have a very large fenced in yard with lots of walking trains and places for dogs to adventure. I do have a dog in the home but they will never be left unsupervised and can easily keep them separated. My personal dog is well mannered and not intact. Safety is always my priority, dogs are always leashed and never unsupervised.
“Kimberly was very nice and professional and clicked with our dog instantly! Looking forward to our weekly routine together!”
“Alex and Lauren were terrific with our senior dog, Pepper. Communicative, kind, and utterly reliable, we would reach out to Alex again without hesitation. So grateful!”

“When Rachael first met our dogs, I knew right away she was a great fit! Now, my dogs LOVE getting to see her any time she comes by. She has watched my dogs on multiple occasions for both drop in visits and overnight stays. She treats them as her own, and keeps me updated on everything throughout her stay. She is one of the very few people I trust to keep my babies safe, happy, and healthy until we return. If you choose to work with Rachael, I know you’ll feel the same way!”

Zozzie understands how dogs are not just animals - they are extensions of ourselves and our families. She gives the utmost loving care to them all as if they were her own. Watering, feeding, and lots of love and playtime. Zozzie is extremely reliable, has good sense, and can be trusted in the fullest. Id definitely use her services again!”

Anna M.
“Full disclosure - Grace is my niece but even if she weren't I couldn't think of a better person to take care of your pet. Ever since her brother got a therapy dog, when she was very young, she has been very involved with dog training and their care. She volunteers for EENP and has helped foster, raise and train several of their litters. You couldn't find a more loving, and informed, caregiver for "man's best friend' (cats, guinea pigs and birds too)”
