“Definitely booking repeat weekly walks with Lauren and i’m so grateful to have someone I can trust and who my dog was so excited to see everyday to help me out while I had to leave him at home for a few days.”


About: I have pets of my own, I have a yorky(chase), and I have 2 cats of my own. I provide personalized, attentive care tailored to each dog’s unique needs. With experience in puppy training, basic obedience, and senior dog care, I’m comfortable with everything, slow-paced walks, making sure your dog eats the right diet. Beyond just walking, I focus on enrichment & providing mental stimulation, affection, and routine to keep your dog happy and healthy while you’re away. Pet care is a priority in my daily routine. I structure my day around morning, midday, and evening walks. Whether it’s early , mid-afternoon potty breaks, or relaxing evenings, I make sure pets get the attention they need throughout the day. If caring for pets in my home, I offer a calm, clean, and pet-friendly spaces & I focus on keeping your pet comfortable by following their usual routine.

“Emily was so great! Very responsive and very flexible. She genuinely cares about what she does. I would gladly have her back to take care of my puppy!”



“Was able to go by last minute while I was at work! Even sent a picture to ease my mind. I will be using her as much as possible for my puppy !!! ?”


About: I’ve spent the past 12 years not just caring for pets, but truly knowing them. I’m the kind of sitter animals trust instinctively. My focus is drop-in visits and dog walking, because I believe quality time, gentle presence, and routine care are what matter most. I’ve worked with everything from energetic pups to senior dogs, who just need a quiet, comforting visit. Whether I’m popping in for a potty break or heading out for a walk, your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. Pet care is woven into every part of my day. I don’t clock in and out, it’s just who I am. I’m home full-time, so I’m available throughout the day for walks and drop-ins. I care for our own dog daily with consistent routines, gentle presence, and responsive attention. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, or a walk to burn energy, my schedule and heart are wide open. This isn’t a side hustle, it’s my rhythm, my joy, and my focus. When I step into a client’s home, I bring quiet confidence and calm energy. I respect routines, follow care instructions closely, and make sure each pet feels safe in their familiar space. Whether it’s a quick potty break, feeding time, or a walk around the block, I’m focused on your pet’s comfort, security, and happiness. I clean up after visits, lock up carefully, and communicate clearly, so you never have to wonder how things went. This is care built on trust, and I don’t take that lightly.

About: Animal care is the focus of my professional life as well as my personal life. I’ve been caring for, training, and loving dogs and horses since I was a boy. I believe only in positive reinforcement and patience. Animals WANT to please their owners. They just need to be taught how. I’m available weekdays and can make almost any time work to fit your schedule! I’m available weekends, but the schedule is a little tighter for child care reasons. For walks, I like to take dogs to undisturbed stretches of land or trails to hone their leash training and stamina. When training a dog commands, I use my own property which is void of distractions.

About: I grew up with dogs of my own and in more recent years have accumulated a few cats as well. I have had some experience working in an animal hospital and have been trusted by family and friends to care for their pets for years. I have a very caring and gentle approach, but can care for pets of all sizes. I have cared for seniors and have been known to spoil pets rotten. Pet care is my sole focus and at this time my schedule is very open. I am available any time and day of the week. Personally, I view animals more as my equal and friend rather than pets. I strive to understand and respect their boundaries and let them be their natural selves rather than expecting them to act as a human. I let my animals see me as their friend who simply shares a home with mutual respect for each other. However, I am very good at following instructions and upholding any rules that any pet owners may have for their homes.

About: I have a 7 year old Poodle and a 4 month old Aussiedoodle. I have been around dogs/animals my whole life. I am able to provide care for dogs who need medications of any kind. I would recommend that the dogs are crate trained. I have kept dogs for many years for friends and family. I have experience with dogs from ages 4 weeks to 17 years old and have no problem tackling a task that I may have not experienced before. I will do whatever it takes to provide your dog with the care he/she deserves. I have a fenced in side yard for your dog to get exercise. I have lots of land for your dog to enjoy! I can keep more than one dog at a time. I have a very flexible schedule. I can make my schedule fit what you and your dog need most of the time. My goal is to make your dog feel at home and comfortable. I have a fenced in back yard. I also have 2 fur babies that can keep your fur babies company. I have 2 children of my own and they love to play with the dogs also.

About: I have had and taken care of animals as long as I can remember. I will treat your pet as my very own! Not just providing basic needs but love and attention! I work part time so I would consider caring for your fur babies as an after workday pleasure to wrap up my day and will be excited to spend some time playing with them! I will care for your fur babies as my own. If you have any special instructions please let me know and leave a detailed note explaining these requirements!

About: I have had pets since I was a little girl. I have learned how to handle dogs and take care of them. I groomed my poodle, lhasa apsos and shih tsu since 1980. My dogs are deceased now and instead of getting any others I would love to help pet owners who need some time away or just need someone to help out from time to time. Many days I will be free to care for small dogs. I attend church on Sunday mornings and Wednesday evenings. I also will be traveling and doing missions work. I will use a leash to be sure your pet is safe while outside. When I am caring for someone else's animal I will be with it at all times. I can care for them at my home or yours.

“Mikayla L. did a good job with my 5 "babies". I got updates on my "babies" every time she was there. Oreo and Nicodemus came to her for tummy and back rubs. I appreciated her hard work. I would like to use her services again. Sincerely. Leslie M.”
