“We had a very chaotic week from an ER visit to the emergence of separation anxiety. Jessica did a great job helping us out and calming our nerves. She was great with our dogs and I would recommend her to other dog parents.”
“Samantha has been doing a great job taking care of our puppy during a time of transition. He’s adjusting to having us home less on certain days and it gives us peace of mind to know he is well cared for.”
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).
“It was too wet/rainy outside to walk Gidget, but I kept the appointment time anyway. I wanted to start once a week walks for Gidget to get used to seeing Katie around before house sitting for us. Hubby said that she took the time to get to know her and vice versa. Very pleased with Katie.”
“Derek was great with Jasper. He was able to assist us with walking him on short notice, and was very responsive and communicative. I would recommend Derek to anyone who needs their pup walked!”
“Sarah and her family are a joy and took such good care of Monty while we were away. We loved the note and photo they left for us at the end of their care. I highly recommend them!”
“Kaitlyn was AMAZING with my dog Mina. Mina is on the older side and has trouble walking sometimes. She took her time with her and Mina got a full walk. I cannot thank Kaitlyn enough for her care and compassion for Mina.”

About: I’ve done rescue work on the side for a cat shelter, including medical fostering. I’ve worked for an emergency/specialty vet as a technician assistant. I have several reoccurring clients on & off of here. Love all pets! I have a 3 legged kitten and have done specialized care for kittens with eye issues and bottle fed kittens. I have no issues giving meds or helping with prescription diets. I have experience with bearded dragons and other reptiles as well. I can always send pics of my work! My labradoodle and his siblings somehow manage to befriend every dog we take care of and we always love new friends! I have plenty of references besides what is on here as well and there’s some before & afters of foster kittens I’ve done medical stuff with. I have 4 dogs of my own, a dorkie, a chihuahua, a labradoodle and a goldendoodle - we stay very active all the time. Walks, treats & playing, and my labradoodle loves to swim! My Labradoodle enjoys visiting people and it’s not uncommon for us to venture out just for a pup cup or a ride around town. I also have my rescue cats who I love! I’ve worked for an emergency/specialty vet along with a general practice vet and am always trying to further my education! Everyone is always leashed and I take my time depending on the animals abilities/etc when walking or playing. I’m more than familiar with litter boxes and etc and don’t mind spending time with pets. We always have time for socialization and visiting with people- I frequent some businesses that LOVE to see dogs!

About: A born dog-lover, animal lover in general. Have always owned at least one dog and at times up to 3. Your dog will be treated with much deserved love and respect. I have a dog that I have walked over the past few years, I met the owner through friends. I have brought my own dogs along with me at times and we take long walks together, it’s fun for all. I am a nurse and I work per diem so I have plenty of availability. I have been married for 40 years and we have 3 grown children. My husband and I spend weekends mostly doing whatever we can do that our dogs can be included. Thank you I am a nurse and I work per diem so I have a lot of availability. I am only unavailable at this time on Tuesdays. We live on 6 acres of land and we are very set back from the road. We are not fenced in, but it has never been an issue
About: I have taken care of dogs & cats since I was in elementary school. We always had pets in my house growing up. I’ve had my Veterinary Assistant Certification for 5 years now. I have worked at dog daycares/boarding centers so I have experience with groups of dogs as well as taking care of & handling one pet at a time. I am not working as of right now so my schedule is pretty open. I am available whenever except for Tuesdays & Saturdays from 5pm-7pm I like to take dogs for walks around the area where I live. I don’t have a fenced in yard which is why I take dogs for walks. I have kitten that’s a few weeks old who would keep your dog/cat company if they are pet friendly. If not I have a kennel.
