Pet care experience

Walks, Wags & Tail-Wagging Care 🐶

I'm a lifelong dog lover and dedicated pet care provider. I’ve been around dogs since birth, and growing up on a farm with hunting beagles and cows taught me early on how to care for animals with patience, love, and respect. My current fur baby, Penni, is a spunky cat that has been trained by me to do tricks and even hike on a leash! (Yes, we go on real hikes!) I believe every dog deserves care that’s tailored to their personality, whether they’re energetic and playful, older and mellow, or somewhere in between. When I care for your dog, you can expect: Walks and exercise suited to their energy level Feeding based on their specific schedule and dietary needs Medication administration (oral and transdermal) Basic grooming and nail trims Enrichment, affection, and lots of love Frequent photo updates for peace of mind while you’re away I currently work from home and have a flexible schedule on Thursday–Friday (mornings, afternoons, and evenings) as well as weekends. You can trust that your dog will be treated like family, because once you book with me, they are! 🐶🩵

Whitni did a fantastic job with Teddy!!! She made sure he had plenty of playtime and followed his schedule. Teddy was very happy and cared for when we returned home! I would definitely recommend Whitni.

Where your pet will stay

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. I do my best to keep pets on their usual schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and medications if needed as this helps reduce stress and keeps them feeling secure. I treat every home with respect and care, making sure to keep things clean and organized, and always leave it as good as or better than I found it. I’m happy to bring in mail, water plants, and take care of other small tasks to help maintain your home while you're away. I also schedule a time to meet and introduce myself to you and your fur baby within a week of the booking so I can understand your expectations, and make sure we’re all comfortable before the stay begins.

Pets

A typical day

I love to tailor activities to each pet’s personality and energy level. This can include playing fetch, going on walks or hikes, practicing fun tricks, or simply enjoying cuddle time and gentle petting. I try to keep them mentally stimulated and happy while you’re away.

It’s helpful to know your pet’s daily routine, temperament, and any specific needs like dietary restrictions, medications, or quirks that make them feel more comfortable. Please let me know how they are around new people, other animals, or on walks, as well as any behaviors you're working on so I can help reinforce them. I also like to know if they have any fears (like thunderstorms or vacuums), how they do when left alone, and whether they travel well in cars. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can care for them like you would.
