I have experience working with senior dogs and handling any medications as well. I have plenty of experience with puppies and can assist with potty training and loose leash walking. I have experience with adopted or recent shelter dogs and worked in a shelter as a dog assistant for a year and a half. I can work with cats or other pets in the home if applicable.

Ratings and reviews
She took really good care of my dog teddy! and was super knowledgeable when it came to taking care of my dog!
Ms. Meade is the best caretaker I’ve ever hired. She got along incredibly well with my dog right off the bat, was prompt, professional, and caring. My dog always has a good day when left in her care. Absolutely recommend.
Darby is a great pet sitter/walker. We've used her the last three years during the summer. She genuinely cares for our three pups which can be a handful at time(3 greyhounds)! I wouldn't hesitate in recommending her for any pet care needs you may have.
