“Sarah saved the day after my other dog walker had to cancel last minute. She was willing to take care of him without doing a meet and greet before hand due to it being a last minute request. Very much appreciated!”

About: I'm Steve and I have my own very well behaved 5 year old chocolate lab named Beanie. We have a welcoming home for you and your pets. I'm pretty flexible at the moment. I can come to your house for walks or feedings but cannot stay the night. Me and my mom are both home alot so we can keep an eye on and take very good care of your pets. I have a fenced yard, pet door to the back yard, a sweet chocolate lab, a helpful mother and a good neighborhood. Let's see if we're a good fit!
About: I have worked with animals in volunteer shelters and zoos since I was 8, also have been raised around breeding dogs. We are very highly reviewed and rated in the care for animals and multiple breeders will only use us. References available if needed. Pretty flexible here. We have huge garage and shop with outside fenced pen to play in, crates if needed, country home with lots of room to run and potty. We live on a dead end road with no traffic. Grass is cut regularly at the house and treated for ticks and fleas. Everyone who works around us is Red cross dog and cat first aid trained. We are available for last minute requests or if someone cancels on you odds are we may be available now. We have new heavy duty leashes, collars and harnesses for sale here at the shop. Please ask if interested. I'm currently working from home with my own business and have time on my hands to take care of your pets. Everything we do is pet related on a daily basis. I have fenced in pen for outside time and lots of room to take walks on a quiet country road. Your pet will get exercise and outside time every couple hours. Baths are also available for small dogs. I can easily crate your pet if you prefer. Our profile says we have cats and i cant get that to change. We do not have any cats.
“It was such a wonderful feeling my family and I had, being able to leave on vacation knowing that our Queenie will be well took care of and loved on while we were gone. Paula arranged a Meet and Greet before we left. Queenie had a new friend from that moment on. The pictures and time Paula took with her was just so refreshing. We would love to continue to use her for Queenie in the future. I have told Ms Paula thank you over and over, but can't say it enough for being awesome.”
“Can’t say enough good things about Nita and her care of dogs!!! She truly loves animals and shares her love and hugs playing with them and just great overall care and concern. Highly, highly recommend her!! 5 stars and more if I could!”
About: I have taken care of pets since I was 9. I have raised several dogs from puppies to senior dogs. I am very well versed in potty training, bathing, and responsible play. For many years I have bathed and walked dogs for my family and friends in addition to taking care of my own. I absolutely love animals and look forward to giving yours all the love and attention it needs! I am a stay at home mom whose kids are all in school now. So that means I have a lot of free time for your pets! I currently have a dog who does not like other dogs, so staying at my house is unfortunately not an option. I do however love getting to visit other pets and thoroughly enjoy taking long walks with them or having a play session with them.
“Meagan was great! She took excellent care of all of our furbabies while we were away and sent us some of the cutest pictures of them! We highly recommend her, and will book her again when the need arrives.”
About: I have personally walked miles and miles with my own, very energetic Weimer. I had Cooper (my Weimer) for 14 years and we walked literally every single day, rain, snow, cold etc. We now have our 2nd Weimer and back at it again; love the exercise they provide for us!! I often walk my sisters dogs when she can’t due to health issues. I’m ready, and have my walking shoes on! I’m retired now and walking my dog keeps me moving and I love it! I’m ready to add additional exercise for your dogs too! Let’s go! We have a fenced yard and one 6 year old friendly Weimer. We keep our dog inside but playtime occurs outdoors on great summer days

Ali took excellent care of our cat, Kiri, over a long weekend! She was very reliable to come check on the schedule we requested and she spent time playing with him and gave us daily reports and photos. He was happy when we got home but we think he enjoyed his visits with Ali.
Megan was so attentive to our pups while we were away on vacation. She kept us informed when one showed signs of an ear infection and even carried our packages in. She was responsive and spent lots of time loving on our pups! Already booking our next trip with her.
Amanda was beyond fantastic with our kitties....So very detailed, so attentive to their needs. First time we met, she was down engaging with the kitties immediately, aaking questions and making sure we had everyrhing she needed to know to take care of the kitties. We are planning on using Amanda every time we need a sitter for our fur babies and would not hesitate to rexommend her to our friends/family!
