About: With over 7 years of hands-on experience and a lifelong love for animals, I bring genuine passion and reliability to every pet I care for. As a dedicated pet parent to two happy, well-loved dogs, I understand the importance of trust, safety, and personalized attention. I treat every pet like family—because that’s exactly what they deserve. As a self-employed bakery owner, I have the flexibility to make my own schedule—meaning I’m available any time of day to give your pets the attention and care they deserve. Whether it’s early morning walks, mid-day check-ins, or evening visits, I can adapt to meet your pet’s needs. I follow your pet’s routine closely, provide loving care, and keep your home tidy—ensuring comfort, safety, happiness, and plenty of tail wags while you’re away.

“Kourtney is a “dog whisperer.” We first met her for puppy training when Han Solo was four months old. He immediately loved her then. She absolutely loves fur babies as much as they seem to love her. Han Solo loved his time spent staying with Kourtney and actually was upset for a bit when the stay was over. There’s no doubt he must have been treated with such attention, it took him a bit to realize he had to get back to his home routine. I highly recommend Kourtney to take care of your fur babies with the most love and attention you would love them to have when you can’t be with them.”


About: I have been a professional dog walker and house sitter for the last five years and have cared for personal animals since I was very young. I have extensive experience with XL, guardian, and dominant breed dogs. All breeds, ages, and issues welcome. There are no bad dogs in my experience! (-: Experienced with administering medications, potty training, puppies, and specialized diets (raw, prescription, cooked, etc). I work remotely so I am available in home 24 hours a day. I am not in a meeting heavy role so scheduled days are not a problem for me. I ask for a specific list of items to be left out while in home to ensure everyone’s safety. I will only use leashes, harnesses/collars provided by you, no outside treats, food, or toys will be given unless explicitly approved beforehand. I always do fence checks before letting dogs out to potty in a back yard, and leashed walks are always given undivided attention.

About: I have had a wide variety of different types of pets throughout my life such as (snakes, hedgehogs, raccoons, pigs, chickens, etc.). Having learned to care for each and every one of them. Has provided me with substantial knowledge in how to deal with pets whether puppies or full grown large dog breeds. In 2024, I rescued my German shepherd. When we got him he was only 4 months old and in critical condition, suffering from starvation and diseases. Throughout my care I have been able to provide my dog a happy and healthy ongoing life. I’m a full-time college student however, I am currently on summer break and am available at your service 24/7 to provide the best pet care possible. I have several acres of land for your pet to play on as well as a pond for your baby to swim in! Along with 1 very friendly dog for your pup to play with. My yard is unfenced, so pups will be supervised when playing outside. I can crate your pup throughout the night if needed.

“Rhonda was fantastic with my pup. She was very communicative and kept me updated on how she was doing. I received photos, she followed her feeding schedule and accommodated me when I had to pick her up early. She has a lover for animals that is very obvious and helped put my mind at ease. I am so happy to have found someone to love on my pup while I'm away and will be using her again.”

About: Hi, I’m Annika, and I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life! Growing up in a home filled with love and pets—dogs, cats, rabbits and even a few chickens —I developed a deep bond with animals early on. I understand that pets are more than just companions; they’re family. Whether your furry friend needs long walks, cozy cuddles, or playtime that matches their energy, I’ll provide the same care and attention I’d give my own. Let me help make your pet feel loved and happy, even when you can’t be there! I work from home most days, except for Tuesdays, which gives me plenty of time to give your pet the attention they deserve. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or cuddles, your furry friend will have my full focus and care throughout the day. I have experience with both dogs and cats. My 10-year-old German Shepherd, gets along well with both, requiring only a short introduction. We go on walks every day, and she is fully updated on all vaccinations, ensuring a healthy environment for all pets in my care. She’s an indoor dog and sleeps in my room in her own bed, so your pet will have a comfortable and safe space too. I’ve also dog-sat for my coworker’s Husky and Lab, and it went wonderfully! I’ve also had the pleasure of watching my best friend’s hilarious pug, who became a great friend to my girl. Raised with cats, she frequently visits my parents’ home, which is full of cats, her two best friends Monty, a mixed terrier, and Bayou, a black lab, and even chickens. Your pet will feel right at home!
