Reviews
She was great with our dog even though our dog was stubborn.
Great job with my dogs and chickens in the woods of Vermont. She was a great sport when the heat went out and the driveway was too icey. Such a sweet person and all my animals were happy when I got back
Always appreciate your excellent service!
Hayley was absolutely wonderful with our cats and even got the shy one to come out and say hi by the end of the week! I was always so happy to get updates and appreciated the detail included in each one.

Information Haley Z. would like to know about your pet
Before caring for a dog, I find it essential to know their medical history, any health issues, and their daily routines, including feeding and medication schedules. Understanding their unique personality, likes, and dislikes helps me create a customized and comfortable experience. Knowing their favorite toys, games, and how they respond to commands allows me to bond with them and make our time together enjoyable. Additionally, being aware of their level of socialization and any potential triggers helps me create a safe and stress-free environment. Having contact details for their owner and vet ensures I can address any concerns promptly and provide the best care possible.
A typical day
When it comes to fun activities with the dogs I watch, I prioritize their well-being and individual preferences. I enjoy taking them on walks and playing fetch, making sure they get the exercise and mental stimulation they need. Although I used to do lots of hikes, my focus shifted slightly after breaking my ankle, but I still cherish the opportunity to hike the south loop near Willoughby Lake when I can. During playtime, I use the toys and equipment provided by the owners to avoid any risk of spreading doggy germs. For walks, I tend to take them to familiar areas as per the owners' instructions, easing any anxiety they might have. One of my favorite spots to walk is Stephens Loop in Lyndonville. I understand that every dog is unique, and their energy levels and preferences vary. Some may not enjoy walking as much, just like my own dogs who prefer being couch potatoes. I meet each dog where they are and tailor activities to suit their needs.
