Choose a vet to care for your pet

I have been around and raised multiple dogs over my life. They’re more than just a pet, they become a member of your family and I will treat them as if they are my own. I have done obedience training, puppy training, service dog training. Helped with hunting training. I have cared for dogs of all ages from puppies to seniors. I have done sittings and drop ins with dogs with special needs. I can administer oral medication.

House Sitting • Jul 16, 2026

I am a veteran who supports veterans. This is one reason I hired Allen and my dogs liked him. I did not want to write this review. We made a contract to start between 0930-1000 for house sitting and taking care of our two dogs. We were late in leaving so we happened to still be at our house at this time and I reached out to Alan to see what’s up. He said he was going to church and would be there right afterwards. I asked him to call me when he arrived. I also have a security system that alerts me. He said he would be there at noon. Noon came and no alert/call. I called him and he said he was at his house dealing with ac issues. I told him I expected communication and so far this was a breach of contract. He asked if I wanted to end the contract and I said no, but communication is important when entrusting our home and animals with anyone. We were also at our destination for the week. He arrived at 1230. Then he called and said he needed to cancel because of a family emergency and had to catch a plane that night. As a working professional woman, my word is my word and so I cannot recommend Allan for housesitting nor taking care of animals. He’s a nice guy, but just unreliable, in my experience. Take this review as you will.

He ensured my dogs Ally, female German Shepherd, and Cornelius, Male Standard poodle, were taken care of and was very flexible with changes.

Safety, trust & environment

I have had tons of experience with boarding, siting, walking, and drop ins. My number one priority is the safety and care of your animal. They’re more than just a pet, they become a member of your family and I will treat them as if they are my own. I provide safe, fun, and engaging walks tailored to your dog’s needs. Whether your pup loves adventure or a gentle stroll, I ensure they get the exercise, attention, and care they deserve. Trust me to keep your furry friend happy, healthy, and loved while on walks, sitting, or boarding when you’re away.

A typical day

I love to stimulate your dogs physically and mentally. We'll play a bunch of games, check out all the new smells in my neighborhood, and explore a big park near my house.
