“Joey was fantastic. She took our dogs on multiple walks and played with them in the yard. Joey sent us multiple pictures throughout her time with the dogs and gave us updates regularly. We will definitely use her in the future.”
“Thank you so much for watching Bowey! We truly appreciate you taking such good care of him! Also it was super helpful when our trip got extended and you were able to watch him a few extra days! We will definitely be in touch for future stays!”
“Allie pet-sat for our pets (2 doodles and 1 kitty) for three days with one overnight stay. She was absolutely wonderful to work with. She met with us ahead of time to get to know our pets, ask questions, get to know our preferences, and get the house key and last minute instructions. Her communication through everything has been fabulous, including regular updates while we were out. Allie was prompt, professional, and so so kind. We felt 100% comfortable leaving our fur babies with Allie, knowing they were getting extra cuddles, pets, and play time. We would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”

About: I have had pets my entire life. At this time, I am petless, so I would love to love on your pets. Family and friends have relied on me to watch, walk, and play with their furry friends. I have several references I work full time, but I have a very flexible schedule that sometimes allows me to work from home. Your dog, however, will never be alone because my husband is home during the day. I take your dog for a morning and night walk and on weekends three short walks. I also play with them. They can sleep on the bed and furniture

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 8. I have had dogs in my household and taken care of friends, family, and neighbors dogs. I also have experience working at a breeder with just born puppies and small dogs alike. I am currently working part time so I have time to play and take dogs for walks! I also am a track and field runner and staying active is my favorite! I am available mostly during weekdays but can only work a few weekends here and there depending on the situation. At my house we do have an electric fence for our two dogs so they stay in the yard and don’t run out on the street. If at a clients home they don’t have a fence I will use leashes to ensure their safety and my safety. I am able to crate dogs if need be. My two fur balls at my house are two mini golden doodles and love to play with other dogs. Labs, beagles, Pomeranians you name it they get along with it. I have a welcoming environment in my home with toys, beds, coaches, treats, and cuddles!!
About: I’ve had a dog for the past 7 years and love taking him on walks and playing with him! I occasionally am called on to play and take care of dogs around the neighborhood for people out of town. I also provide regular updates, photos, and am always available to answer questions and special requests. I am currently unemployed and am available almost any day and time of the week while I am finishing up the last part of my flight training. I always make sure your dog feels loved, safe, and comfortable while you’re away. I do this by treating your dog with the same attention, respect, and space I give my own dog. I follow all instructions very carefully and keep routines consistent to reduce stress.
