About: I go the extra mile for the dogs in my care. I have over 12 years experience fostering dogs with special medical needs so giving medications or IV fluids is not an issue. I only feed holistic food and treats and purchase toys made in the USA. I will treat your pets like they were my own. I love to exercise and run so if your dog is active, I am the sitter for you. My own pets are very friendly to other dogs I can separate your dogs from my own. My cats and caged pets are kept away from the dogs so interaction is not an issue if your dog does not like them. I have had dogs and cats for over 40 years and have excellent references from adopters and current clients.
About: Growing up with dogs of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments has given me a deep, lifelong understanding of canine care. From nursing high-anxiety companions like my late buddy Leo through loud storms to managing the endless energy of young pups like Ruby, I know that every dog needs a tailored approach to feel safe, happy, and understood. I’ve been dog sitting and handling dogs since my sophomore year of high school, caring for animals across every stage of life—ranging from a 3-month-old puppy up to a 15-year-old senior. Because I maintain an active lifestyle that includes regular hiking and long daily walks, I am more than equipped to handle high-energy breeds that need serious exercise, mental engagement, and plenty of outdoor time. Whether your dog needs a gentle, patient companion for senior strolls or an athletic running and hiking partner, I provide reliable, attentive, and experienced care tailored directly to your pet's needs. Im available through out the day for check ins and walks given that I'm taking online courses. I able to stop in when ever I'm needed to check on pup or pups. Im perfectly fine spending the night at clients home but I prefer to meet before hand to work out what kind of care is needed for every individual animal.
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter. Summer took amazing care of our three dogs while we were away for Christmas. Communication was excellent the entire time, and it was clear how much our dogs loved and trusted her. Summer is friendly, reliable, and truly great with pets. While we were away we had total peace of mind. Highly recommend!”

Michael was great! He showed up right on time, was friendly, and clearly comfortable with Blue. He took him out for a full hour walk and sent updates and photos along the way, which I really appreciated. Blue came back happy and ready to rest. I’ll definitely book Michael again!
We have had Ashely as our walker for almost a year! She has been wonderful to work with. Our dogs love their afternoon walk with her. She communicates well and is always so flexible with our changing schedule sometimes! Highly recommend and will always contact her first when needing a walker.
