Lauren is absolutely awesome. She is great with the dogs, follows instructions, and has great communication. She is also flexible which was a huge bonus. She sends pictures after every visit and lets you know how everything went. I have full trust in her and would definitely recommend her.

About: I am currently studying to become a Veterinary Assistant at Parkway West Career and Technology Center, and the more time I can spend with animals, the better! I also have volunteer experience at Bailey's Cat Haven, which has provided me with the cat cuddling time that I've been missing since my apartment doesn't allow pets (Booo!). My availability is very open outside of school hours. I currently attend Montour High School from 7 am -3 pm weekdays. I am available weekday evenings and on weekends for whatever your pet needs! I have most holidays off, so book me for your next vacation! Being able to care for your pet in their own home environment minimizes their stress level. No car rides, smelly kennels, or unfamiliar places necessary!

My two Great Danes absolutely love Brianna! She always takes the time to play with them in the yard and makes sure to follow any instructions I give. Her communication is excellent! she keeps me updated on everything, which gives me such peace of mind while I’m away. It’s clear she truly cares about my dogs, and I will definitely continue having her do visits with them. I’m so grateful to have found someone I can count on!

About: I grew up with pets (both cats and dogs) and have always loved being around and caring for animals. I worked as an animal care associate at the Humane Society of Chittenden County in Burlington, VT, where I learned safe handling techniques, gained medical knowledge, and cared for a wide variety of breeds and behavioral cases. I have extensive experience with cats, dogs, and smallies of all shapes and sizes and would love to help care for yours. I have a flexible schedule which leaves me plenty of time to walk and play with fur babies. I do have a part time job so I will need to leave occasionally when I am housesitting. I also don't mind commuting to care for an animal. I live in a lovely neighborhood for walking and am also able to drive dogs to nearby parks and hiking trails to play and exercise. I have a cat at home who dislikes other animals so I would only be able to provide care at a client's home.

We are so thankful to have found Kasey and Alyssa! They are amazing. Very warm and friendly and know what they are doing. Our dogs took to them immediately. We feel so relieved to have found a good fit for what we were looking for in help with drop-in visits (people who know and understand older dogs, who have great communication and are kind). We will definitely be making more repeat bookings. Thank you both for being PAWsome!🐾

About: "Dog Whisperer" - I'm very lucky to have been called that by more than a few.. I've been a dog lover my entire life! I love them all and they seem to like - and more importantly, trust - me a lot, too! I grew up with Old English Sheep Dogs, Poodles, Rhodesian Ridgebacks, Dalmatians, PIt-Bul/ Lab mixes (or as I called them, "PLABS") and of course good old fashion, run of the mill Heinz-57s! As I kid, on the way home from school, I would purposely walk out of the way, just to say hello to several of the pet dogs along the way. As an adult, I spent several years volunteering for a well known local no-kill shelter back when they were actually located in the Strip District.......until my career and "Corporate America" began to take a greater priority. Now, I am newly retired with lots of free time on my hands - and I can't wait for my calendar to be filled with dog walks and play time versus conference calls and business meetings. Can I pencil your pooch in for my next open slot? As a recent retiree, I have a lot of newly found free time on my hands. I am generally available to provide your special pal dog walks, feeding and/or play time most days with the exception of Thursday. While I am sure our lovely Staffie, Waffles, would love the company, at this time we are not able to host another dog in our home.

Mariah (Sage) was the sweetest and most attentive person to watch my dogs. I have two very large dogs (over 130 pounds) and they adored her. I will be using her again very shortly! She gave me photos and was just overall a 11/10. I would recommend her over and over again.

About: I have taken care of neighbors’, family’s, and friend’s dogs plenty of times before, from small to big dogs. I am very attentive to detail, so I will be able to care for your dog’s individual needs. Most recently, I have cared for a miniature schnauzer puppy, a black lab puppy, and two mid-aged mixed breed dogs. I have additional experience with doodles, king cavalier spaniels, dauschunds, pitbulls, and pugs. I am currently studying to take my physical therapy board examination so I will my schedule is flexible. I am not working at the moment, but hope to get a full-time job after taking my examination at the end of July. A part-time job may be added in the near future. I am willing to feed them, walk them, play with them, let them out to the bathroom, and clean up after them. Whatever they need, I will willingly provide for them. I can easily crate your dog if needed and spent my last semester away at college lifting a lot at the gym, so there need be no worries of the dog walking itself. I enjoy being outdoors when the weather is nice, so if that’s something your pet also enjoys, I am glad to spend time outdoors with them. If they are more the indoor, cuddly type, I am to accompany them in that as well.

Lauren is AMAZING! She makes sure that Ryder is loved and cared for while I am away, picks up on his weird quirks of wanting to take stuff with him while he’s on a walk, and calms his nerves with cars. I know when she comes that he is in good hands, and he has a wonderful time with her. I wish I could give her more stars, as she is the best!! Thank you for all that you do!
