Avid animal and outdoor lover!

Pet care experience

I have always loved being around all kinds of animals. I grew up on a farm surrounded by sheep, chickens, rabbits, goats, and cows. Our family dog was a Cocker Spaniel, whom we had for 12 years. I currently reside with a pup named Sawyer, a tuxedo cat named Mr. Kitty, a tripod kitten named Little Miss, a Green Cheek Conure named Crackers, a Cockatiel named Kevin, a Lilac Crowned Amazon named Zelda, and four hermit crabs: Patricia, Henry, Oliver, & Sheldon. Or, as we refer to them, Patricia & the Herms, because she is Queen up in that tank. If you didn't know hermit crabs have personalities, THEY DO & it's fantastic to witness. I love animals of all kinds, and enjoy taking care of them. I can’t imagine not having animals in my life. And, despite having so many, there is A LOT more room in my heart to love & care for more. Instead of increasing my zoo count, I'd like to come hang out with yours!

Whitney did a wonderful job looking after our guinea pigs, Bear & Wolf while we were away. When we first met for the ‘meet and greet’ Whitney was so caring & her positive attitude and love for animals comes across instantly. Loved the pictures & the updates we received each day- I highly recommend Whitney for your fur babes!

Whitney walked my dog last minute for a week and did a superb job. Easy to communicate with and reliable. If our regular dog walker ever goes away again, Whitney will be the first person we call!

Whitney is very friendly, reliable, and a good communicator. She quickly arranged a meet and greet and has been great with our dog since then.

Information Whitney M. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know about any special quirks they may have, or any sensitive areas they don't want to be touched. No breed preferences, all dogs welcome! I just like to understand where they're coming from if they react negatively when out on walks, so that I can be prepared to avoid the situation, or respond appropriately.

A typical day

I live about half a mile down the road from the Cherry Creek Trail, which my dog Sawyer and I frequently visit. My apartment complex has a long stretch of yard where dogs like to run around and play fetch, and across the complex is a small park. When I come to the dog's home, I like to look up what parks are close by to perhaps enjoy.
