About: I have experience of maintaining safe and clean environments for dogs within doggy daycare settings! I am comfortable with any breed and size of dog. I have experience with dog walking, redirecting behaviors, and bathing. As a dog and animal lover I have a few fur babies myself! I have a Pembroke welsh corgi puppy Finn that is friendly with all animals, a tortie cat Ginnie that also gets along with any animal-Me and my fiancée Kris just adopted the sweetest 3 year old husky Daisy, as she is in her adjusting period of our home (and us) I will have her separate from any possible boarders and withhold involvement in meet and greets. My parents have their golden retriever Bodie who lives within our home but separately! I have always had a passion for working and being with animals and would love to continue by taking care of animals in my daily routine I always make sure to be home to have enough time for my animals as they are my top priority and I would strive to do the same for yours. I am fortunate enough to always have someone home with the pups-as my fiancée Kris and parents live with me as well. ⭐️ Returning customers or new- I appreciate you putting trust into me with your pet(s). Being a pet mom myself i understand how important your fur babies mean to you. I appreciate your support and kindness and all of the kind reviews⭐️ Pets in my home co exist. Both of my dogs are crate trained and they sleep in there at night or when I am out of the house. I am comfortable having animals in my animals space or them having their own space. I have a separate area if needed for separation during feeding or for resting time. Back yard is fenced in and has plenty of space for walks and off leash play time and potty breaks (please see attached photos in profile of yard).

“Jacquelyn, has been a delight to help me with my boy Charlie. My work days are long and she manages to come share a walk with him. It makes me so happy to know he is being loved upon by someone who loves pets like our family. Thank you!!!”


“I cannot stress enough how above and beyond Kaitlyn goes! Unfortunately she was only able to walk my Zeus for one day before we found out he had a brain tumor. Without knowing this, Kaitlyn arrived early for his walk, spent extra time with him after his walk, and was incredibly communicative. She even interacted with my neighbors who love Zeus and updated me when he got a treat from them. I’m so happy she gave him such a great day before all of this happened. It’s obvious she’s dedicated and truly cares for the animals she sits for!”


About: I’ve been passionate about animals my whole life and can frequently be found with the hosts’ pets at most get togethers. My experience has been with numerous dog breeds from chihuahuas and rat terriers to pitties, Rottweilers, and German Shepherds, and I’m currently “mom” to a 7 year old rescue GSD named Maddie. I’m happy to help out whether it’s with potty breaks and playtime, a walk around the neighborhood, check ins for food and cuddles or whatever else your fur baby may need. I’m currently home full time, so I’m more than happy to stop in for a morning check in or walk with your babies (8-11am), afternoon potty break (12-2pm), or dinner (5-7pm). While caring for your pets in your home I like to follow their norm as closely as possible. If there are certain routines you normally follow (ex: they always get a cookie after they go potty), preferred routes your dogs like to take on walks or specific quirks your pets have, please let me know an I will follow them to the best of my ability.

“Kenneth was an amazing dog walker for our dog! He was patient and kind to my sometimes timid dog. He was very flexible with our schedule and needs. Our dog Bear always got excited when Kenneth came for his daily walks! I would highly recommend Kenneth for any pet services.”



“Renee is amazing!!! She is always punctual, gives me a full run-down of her time with Rocco, pics included. She knows how to deal with a large dog, especially a 131 lb Rottie! My dog absolutely adores his time with her. She is my life-saver for when I need to travel and to get some work done!! A true dog lover... I would recommend her 1000x over.”


“Jayla was fantastic with Rusty and went above and beyond, from accepting a last minute booking when our usual sitter fell through to taking extra precautions when someone noticed where we told her to hide the key! Will absolutely be requesting to book again!”


“Natasha was great with my pup! He loved his walks and the attention she gave him. She was very professional and super quick to respond to any messages for booking. She even brought in a package for me that came during his walk which was very kind of her.”


“Chantelle has been such a wonderful dog walker for my pup. She is a good communicator and very reliable- she’s even been able to be flexible if my schedule has changed, which is amazing! I highly recommend her if you’re looking for someone kind to walk your pup.”


“Keasha genuinely loves animals and quickly built a rapport with Lily. She came home grateful for her water bowl and doggie bed. We have found a great dog walker for our fur baby.”


“Abby was great for two early morning walks with my old boy. The weather was not great but he seemed really happy anyway. Abby was also super punctual which was impressive so early in the morning. Ty Abby!”


“From the very first meeting, I knew my dog was in good hands. Sylvia showed up prepared, asked thoughtful questions, and even took notes to make sure she understood my dog’s routine and quirks. That level of care really stood out to me. Since then, she’s been amazing—reliable, kind, and clearly someone who loves what she does. My dog absolutely adores her and gets so excited when Sylvia comes by. I feel really lucky to have found her. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a dog walker who truly goes above and beyond!”


About: Life-long dog owner and lover with experience pet sitting and walking! My dog has his trick title, and I would love to help your dog learn new things while I spend time with the little buddy. If your dog is friendly, I can even walk them together for some social time if you want! We have a lovely home with lots of toys and comfy places for your pup to hang out, crated or free roaming. I have been a foster dog parent and I have taken care of all types, from little springy poodles to plodding old beagles, to sleepy recovering collies. I have been a go-to pet sitter for friends for their large dogs, too. I swear if you ask me to I will read literal storybooks to your dogs. I will draw you mega cute portraits of your dog. I will take your dog on local adventures. Heck, I will talk to your dog about ethics if you want me to. I will try to train your dog do this trick: Me: "how's life?" Your dog: "ruff" There are infinite possibilities. Your dog and I will star in a montage where you're dog learns to play basketball. I'm so psyched to meet your dog right now. I’m reliable and I have a flexible schedule for the remainder of the summer. I spend most of the day at home, and when I’m stepping out your pup is encouraged to snuggle up on my bed. Some important requirements for dogs who stay at the house! -Dogs must be house trained -Dogs must either be happy in a crate, or trustworthy/non-destructive when not in a crate -Dogs must not show aggression towards other dogs or cats -Dogs must either be under 50 lbs OR dogs must be trained not to jump on people/put teeth on people, or pull uncontrollably on the leash I have a relaxed summer schedule and will spend much of my day with your dog! Dogs go out first thing in the am, get breakfast, have s longer walk in the afternoon, and go out before bed (please specify specific schedule needs if this doesn’t work for your little guy). Usually I incorporate some training during the evenings while we hang out at the house! Pets are generally fed morning and evening. Walks are provided periodically throughout the day. Play time happens a number of times a day, and dogs can play fetch in the yard!

When needed, I do go to my brothers to take them for a walk and play with them to break up their day of being in the house. I am currently part time worker, so I have more free time during the week and figured I could use my time to help out dog lovers like yourself! For dog walking, I will follow your instructions carefully to make sure your pet and yourself are satisfied with my job.

And they’ve successfully worked with and trained other species as well including a spicy Sun Conure! On top of their phenomenal animal skills they’re also a people person.

She was the best house guest and the absolute best dog sitter I could possibly imagine. She was incredibly attentive to all my puppy’s needs.. 2 walks a day, his complicated diet, and even sent pictures of them snuggling and often gave us updates of their days together. I VERY HIGHLY recommend her for any and all pet sitting needs. She has even pet sat for several of my friends and coworkers as well!!”
