Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine! I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide consistent care, attention, and love throughout the day. I take my own pup out for walks at least three times a day, and trips to the nearby dog park are part of our regular routine. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, or just cuddles, I genuinely enjoy making sure every pet in my care feels safe, happy, and loved—just like family. 🐾💛

Safety, trust & environment

In my home, I care for pets like they’re part of the family. I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved from the moment they arrive. I keep a calm, cozy environment with plenty of playtime, potty breaks, and snuggles. I follow each owner’s specific instructions—whether that’s sticking to feeding schedules, following training routines, or keeping their pup on leash-only walks. I also check in with updates and photos, so you can feel at ease knowing your furry friend is in good hands. 💛🐾

Information Whitney O. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for your pup, I like to learn as much as I can to make them feel safe, happy, and right at home. It’s helpful to know their feeding schedule, any allergies or dietary needs, and their usual potty routine. I also love learning about their energy level, favorite activities, and if they’re currently working on any training or commands. If your pet has any fears, sensitivities, or medical needs, please let me know so I can support them with extra care and patience. I always ask if they’re crate trained or prefer to roam freely, and whether they’re comfortable around other dogs and children. Lastly, anything special that brings them comfort—like a favorite toy, blanket, or routine—is always welcome! The more I know, the more I can care for your pet just like you would. 🐶💛

A typical day

I love keeping things fun and engaging for the pets I watch! Depending on their personality and energy level, we might go for walks to the nearby dog park, play fetch, enjoy puzzle toys, or just have a good old-fashioned belly rub session. If your pup loves to socialize, they’ll have the chance to play with my friendly dog too! For more relaxed pets, I make sure they have a cozy spot to nap and feel safe. My goal is to make sure every pet has fun, feels loved, and gets the attention they need. 🐶💛

Pet care experience

Please read all the way through ☺️ Hi there! I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and truly adore them. I currently have a playful little pup who loves having friends around, and we live just steps away from a great dog park! We’re out for walks at least three times a day, and your pup would be so loved and well cared for here. I also have two gentle, dog-loving teens who add even more love to the mix. I prefer smaller dogs since I’m on the petite side myself, and working from home means I can give your pup lots of attention and flexibility with your schedule. I’m happy to follow any training routines you’re working on and would love to help however I can. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, happy, and right at home. 🐶💛 A few small notes: • Pick-ups over 30 mins late: +$5 (every additional 30 mins = +$5) • Forgot food or pee pads? Just $5/day Can’t wait to meet your sweet fur baby! ✨🐾

This was our 2nd time using Whitney, and my dog was eager to go with her, which says a lot! I received photos of a very happy dog enjoying time with Whitney's family and getting lots of belly rubs.

Whitney did an amazing job taking care of my dog Maci while I was away for two weeks! She made sure Maci was happy and had great communication, with lots of photos sent to me!

So glad I connected with and was able to get Whitney to walk and play with my dog. She clearly cared about learning specifically about my pup and is a dog person overall. She also was very kind and patient when I ran into issues with access to my place. I'll definitely continue to use her.
