“Glen was so great! And our dog who is usually suspicious of any stranger coming in our house just loved him! Prompt walks and gave us regular updates which made us feel comfortable being the first time we used this service while we were out of the country. Definitely recommend him!”


“Katelyn was truly amazing for the month of May for us. Very flexible & responsive. I have a crazy puppy who has thrown up & walked in poop & she’s taken care of him like Gus was hers. I plan to use her again when we are back from our honeymoon!!!!!”


“Izzy was great !! She was available last minute and really helped us out ! My dog got plenty of attention and she even sent multiple pictures a day :) will definitely use Izzy for future dog sitting needs !!”


“Katie is WONDERFUL!! Wags, my overweight beagle (who lets me live there with my cat Top!) is already showing signs of having more energy. When I come home, he is bouncing up and down to meet me. It has been a while since he had this energy; I know it’s ALL because of Katie walking Wags! Besides this, Wag’s loves Katie and didn’t give me a second look when she came for him!!!♥️♥️”


About: I worked at a doggie daycare and boarding facility for two years, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. From group play supervision to feeding, cleaning, and administering medications, I gained experience in all aspects of pet care. I’ve also personally trained three dogs of my own—including a Great Pyrenees and a Black Lab puppy—so I’m very comfortable with everything from basic commands to crate training and leash manners. I’m confident with high-energy pups, large breeds, and dogs who may need a little extra patience. I’m currently available full-time until August 11th, so I can offer flexible and attentive care throughout the day. After that, I’ll be working full-time, but I’ll still be available for evenings, weekends, and early mornings depending on your pet’s needs. I’m happy to coordinate a schedule that works best for you and your pup! Whether your pet is in my home or I’m caring for them in yours, their safety and comfort are always my top priority. I take time to understand each dog’s personality and needs—whether that means sticking to a routine, giving space, or providing extra playtime and cuddles. In my home, I create a calm and structured environment with plenty of supervision, especially during introductions with my own dogs. I’m experienced with crate training, managing group dynamics, and caring for dogs with specific behavioral needs. If I’m in your home, I’ll treat it with the same respect and care I give to my own. I’ll follow your instructions closely to ensure your pet stays happy, safe, and stress-free.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 8, but have been an animal lover all my life. While I started out just walking them, I began taking on responsibilities of bathing, training, and taking specific care of their health — I was always the first called over when my family’s late beagle, Calvin, was experiencing the seizures that came genetically. I am not just reliable and passionate, but experienced as well, and have an eight-year-old rescued Lhasa Apso named Yosef. Besides my job as a front cashier, I’m available during the late morning and the whole afternoon — to walk, sit, and take care of your pup. I am able to play with, walk, bathe, and administer oral medicines to pets. Special requests for their health or safety are no issue or feat for me!

About: I am currently getting my bachelor's in animal behavior and care. I've had many species of dog from small to large as well as cats. I love all breeds and I am open minded to all animals.

I will still be sure they are fed properly, played with, and taken out as needed. I will ensure your pet is fed, walked, taken out and generally well looked after with lots of playtime. I can work with their dietary schedules and needs as well as their special care.

Mandy M.

“I’ve been a dog groomer for over 10 years and I know you can’t teach somebody to be a dog person they just have it or they don’t. And Mandy is definitely a natural dog person. She has a calm loving spirit that dogs naturally attract to and know that she is a safe human 😊 I have no doubt you can trust her to be a great caregiver!”
