“Sherry took our menagerie of dogs and cats in stride when she arrived and she handled my dog Duncan with ease during the walk. She obviously loves animals and my dog, who is sometimes shy with strangers, immediately liked her and will be happy to see her the next time she comes. I highly recommend her if you need a good caretaker for your pets.”


“Katie is AMAZING! She’s walks my puppy during the day so he can get some energy out and get some exercise while I’m at a work and let me just say he looks SO SO SOOOO happy in all of the pictures she sends! I love how she sends me picture of him through out the walk and a report of how the walk went! I 100% recommend Katie for any of your needs!”

About: I grew up in a pet loving household with a German shepherd mix husky, a blue heeler, and even a dachshund mix basset hound. I’m comfortable with all sizes of dogs. I’m here to give your pup a quick and fun bathroom break (: I’m currently waiting to start a full time job at the beginning of September and have open availability until starting a new role. However I’m hoping to continue rover afterwards where it fits in my schedule. With owning my own dogs, I’ve had my fair share of collar slip outs. I always make for appropriate tightness of collars or harnesses and make sure the dog is comfortable with me prior to leaving the home.

I send pictures and updates at least once from every visit. Most of my recent dog experience with dogs has been with friends' pitties, which has always involved playing a lot. I am unfortunately unable to board animals at this timem
