Loving Care from a 3-Dog Mom!

About Me & My Pack - I have been providing dedicated pet care services since 2018, giving me years of experience with various breeds, temperaments, and care routines. As a proud pet parent to three dogs of my own, I am a true animal lover who treats every pet like family. I exclusively offer dog walking and drop-in visits. Because I manage my own established pack at home, I do not offer boarding or house sitting. This allows me to focus 100% of my energy on giving your pet personalized attention and high-quality care during our neighborhood walks or home visits! Here is a quick look at the well-adjusted furry crew that inspires my daily care: Baylee & Hope: These two are biological Maltipoo sisters who have always been a part of each other's lives and share a beautiful, lifelong bond. Murphy: The third member of our crew who rounds out our happy, loving household! Having run a multi-dog home for years, I am highly experienced in managing different energy levels, behavior styles, and routine care needs. You can rest assured your beloved pet is in highly capable, loving hands!

Safety, trust & environment

Since I have three dogs of my own at home, I don't do pet sitting or boarding at my house. But when I come to your home for walks or drop-in visits, I promise to treat your pets with the same love and care as my own. Every pet is different, so I will follow your exact rules to keep them happy. Whether they need a fun walk around the block, a quick potty break, fresh food and water, or just some good old couch cuddles, I've got it covered. I am always very careful about locking up, keeping them safe on the leash, and making sure they are happy before I leave!

Kathy went above and beyond and took care of our whole little farm. She communicated well and often and the animals all seemed happy and taken care of when we got home. She even had to deal with a little mischievous goat adventure and everything turned out great. I highly recommend!

Schedule

Being retired allows me to dedicate my time fully to what I love most: caring for animals! Because I have a very flexible schedule, my daily and weekly routine revolves around providing reliable, high-quality dog walking and drop-in services. Whether your pet needs consistent mid-day walks during the workweek, check-ins on the weekends, or care over most major holidays, I am readily available to step in. I just ask for a little advance notice so I can plan my day perfectly around your pet’s specific routine. I pride myself on being dependable, punctual, and entirely focused on keeping your furry family members happy and well-exercised while you are away!

To give your pet the best care possible, it helps me to know a few details ahead of time. I truly love all dogs—big and small! I have personal experience with everything from small Maltipoos to German Shepherds and Saint Bernese Mountain Dogs. As long as a larger dog is manageable on a leash, I am happy to walk them! Please let me know about: - Their general size and personality (Are they hyper, shy, or laid-back?) - How they act on a leash when they see other people or dogs on walks. - Any medications they take or any physical restrictions they have. - The special things they absolutely love (like a favorite spot to scratch or a favorite toy!). - Anything else I should know to keep them safe, happy, and comfortable.
