Safety, trust & environment

While caring for your pet, I will adjust my strategy depending on your animals needs and personality. Does your dog have a ton of energy? Maybe we go to the dog park and get tuckered out. Is your dog a senior who can't get around easily? Then we will play close to home and enjoy lots of belly rubs! If your dog has any special behavioral needs, just let me know and we can have a fun and safe time together! I will do my best to make sure your baby feels cared for and comforted.

Information Whitney L. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs or routines that I need to be aware of. I am more than happy to accommodate special requests.

A typical day

I will have fun playing with your dog and helping them get their energy out by both physically and mentally stimulating them! We will go to the dog park or stay home and play and work on tricks in your back yard! There will be belly rubs and kisses once your four legged friend gets comfortable with me! ☺️

Pet care experience

I have had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember. One of my first jobs in my teen years was working with a professional dog trainer who worked with Golden Retreivers to train them for television commercials. I was active in 4-H throughout high-school, hosting dog traaining events and classes, and competing in horse bowl events. I am currently just a cat owner due to apartment life. I have a passion and desire to care and comfort your sweet furry friend while you are away. I have a lot of experience and can accommodate unconventional circumstances. Reach out today! 🌞

Whitney is amazing! My pooch loved her immediately. I got great photos of my dog on walks around town, and my home might have been cleaner than when I left it!

Whitney did a wonderful, attentive job at taking care of my home and older, anxious dog. She sent pictures and updates while I was gone that helped put my mind at ease. Highly recommend!

Whitney was a great sitter for my dog while I was gone for the weekend. She took him on lots of lovely walks and sent cute pictures of him while they were out together. She was very responsive and I had no worries at all about leaving my dog for the weekend -- he had a great time and was well cared for. Thanks, Whitney!

Whitney was excellent. She watched our cat for about 10 days and was communicative, clean, kind, and caring. My wife and I highly recommend her!
