About: Your pup will be barking up the RIGHT tree (NOT 🌵) with tail wagging walks and cozy snuggles and plenty of playtime in our spacious backyard. I'm a longtime dog lover and devoted dog mom to a sweet 5-year old goldendoodle named Henry (shhh, he still thinks he's a puppy). I totally understand the quirks that come with our furry friends. I'm all about creating a safe, happy environment where your pup feels right at home. Whether it's yard play, a stroll through the neighborhood, or just couch snuggles, I meet dogs where they are with calm energy, patience and lots of love. I've cared for everything from high-energy pups to those with a bit of separation anxiety. From zoomies to zen time, your dog's in good hands here. Reliable. Loving. A little goofy, in all the best ways. Let's make tails wag and noses boop! I work from home, which means I've got a super flexible schedule and plenty of time for tail wags and potty breaks! From morning walks to midday playtime to evening cuddles, I can adjust to whatever fits best with your pet's routine and your schedule. Creating a safe, comfortable environment is my top priority. I know how stressful it can be to leave your pup behind. I feel the same way with Henry all the time, which is why I go the extra mile to make sure every dog feels secure and cared for. I stick to familiar routines, provide lots of personalized attention and keep every space is calm, clean and pet-friendly. Your dog will be treated like family.

“Gabrielle did a great job at checking on my cat while I was away. She sent me pictures of him daily which was a nice aspect as well. I would definitely like to work with her again in the future.”
About: I grew up in a farm with all kinds of animals and doggies were my favorite! I started watching my friends’ fur babies and my passion for doggies has grown. I own an adorable mini winnie named Slinky, he barks at first but loves all his new buddies and is playful! I am certified in pet first aid/CPR and recently took the American Red Cross Cat and Dog First Aid Online Course. I’m a stay at home momma and homeschool my younger 2 children so I’m always home to be able to take care of your fur baby. I leave on occasions for grocery runs or appointments. If I have a doctor’s appointment I can leave your fur baby in the crate for about 2-3 hours and inform you ahead of time to make sure we both agree. Please let me know how long your baby can be left alone. I have a big fenced yard and a doggy door but if your fur baby doesn’t know how to use it, I will open and close our back door for them for potty breaks and running around. Our Slinky will play and keep yours great company. Your fur baby can join us for a walk and some playtime at our local park.
“This was my first time using Rover and Mikayla did NOT disappoint. She kept me updated the entire time and uploaded the cutest photos. She even washed my dogs food bowl so her wet food wouldn’t leave dried up pieces. 10/10 would definitely recommend her! Thanks again Mikayla!”
“Alexandra is just the best. Our little girl is so happy after she gets all the attention and walkies while we’re gone. Alexandra is very respectful and clean and really takes the time to spend time with your pup while you’re out.”
