“Marilyn! Was great with my dog. I also get a detailed report of their walks and my puppy loved her! She was thorough and gentle. Very quick to respond to communications. Will definitely use her again.”
“Brittany was very patient with my crazy lab. She's clearly well loved by animals. My lab ran to her and jumped up on her but she was calm and understanding. She waited until he calmed down and only then walked him.”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life. I have a cat whom I rescued several years ago. I’ve cared for several dogs and I’m great at keeping animals comfortable and feeling loved! I work full-time but I am available most weekends and evenings. If need be, I can leave during my lunch break to provide your pet with a quick potty break! I am sure to follow the rules of each owner since they know what’s best. I am a huge cuddler, so if your dog or cat needs some extra love, you can count on me. I’ve also had experience with admistering medication to dogs as well.
About: I have two dogs of my own and one regular client that I take for walks/boarding! I’m looking to add some more dog walks and drop ins into my rotations!!! I have really firm boundaries about reactive dogs and non-dog friendly dogs and would never put your pet in a situation to fail! I have tons of recommendations and spots for quiet walks without tons of traffic to keep them entertained but not over stimulated! I also never co-walk my dogs with clients dogs or take clients dogs to public dog parks! Your pet is safe with me!! I work full-time but have flexible timing! So I’d never mind taking a break/ early lunch from work to come see your pet! And I love to stay busy on the weekends so they’d be a welcome addition to my routine! I really prefer to have a meet and greet intro that involves going to the clients home so the dog knows I’m allowed in their spaces and there’s no suprises day-of! I’m very respectful of your space (shoes off ofc) and happy to accommodate and extra needs you might have that day!
About: I have cared for several cats and dogs in my home as well as in others for 15 years. I am a mother of three with lots of love, attention & cuddles to share with your fur-babies!

I also volunteer at St Mary’s but will do my best to fit your animal into my schedule. I can’t care for pets in my own home due to my family not wanting to be around pets at the moment. But I would love to branch out to other homes to care for your pets.

I also live in the heart of Huntington, everything is close! When house sitting I can stay at your house for your comfort if you feel so inclined. I can also pop in 4-5 times a day.

I also require vet information just in case something were to happen to them.
