About: I've worked with dogs for 7 years now. Helping family and friends with pet care and training as well as eventually branching out to occasionally taking dog training clients. I am currently studying with the International School of Canine Psychology and would love to make dog training and walking a full time business. I foster as well! I am currently studying with the ISCP and taking on private clients so I will be available friday, saturday, and sundays after 11am! In the near future, there will be more days available for services. As a walker, I ensure your dogs safety through gear checks to ensure harnesses or collars fit properly and to make sure the leash is properly attached. I also am very diligent and observant of my surroundings when I'm out with my personal dogs and client dogs. Safety is key! I will also bring a small backpack with water, a collapsible bowl, waste bags, and a small emergency first aid kit for dogs.

About: I’ve cared for pets for over 10 years and have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine and needs so they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, medications, or extra cuddles, I’m happy to provide the care your pet is used to receiving at home. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable care and plenty of attention. I do my best to maintain your pet’s normal routine and will keep you updated with messages and photos throughout their stay. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I take that responsibility seriously and treat every pet as if they were my own. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully and pay close attention to a pet’s individual needs, routines, and comfort level. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a quieter environment, I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and at home.

About: I have two dogs, a Golden Retriever (Nova) and a German Shepard (Blitz). I've had Nova since she was 8 weeks old and I've had Blitz since he was 3 months old. I've also grown up around dogs my whole life. I am a stay at home mom with a lot of time on my hands. I have plenty of time to take care of your fur babies. I have a fenced in yard with two dogs of my own to keep your fur babies happy. My dogs love playing with other dogs, we used to take them to the dog park (when we lived in Arizona) twice a week.

Tawna was timely, sent regular updates and my Kids (pups) were healthy and happy, so that's all matters to me.. OH and props for Tawna being able to handle my bulldozer of a boy, nearing his terrible 2s (8 in pup years).

Love having Kyleen visit, Bob. When I'm out of town I can focus on the reason I'm out of town instead of being I'm not worried about my cat. Her communication with me is the best and I can tell she truly cares about my kitties.

Taryn did an amazing job taking care of our Strudel while we were away on vacation. She came on the scheduled days, spent time with Strudel each visit and sent photos and a detailed update. We WILL be using her again next time we are away and need Strudel looked after. Taryn is a caring person that really loves caring for animals. Thank you Taryn.

Kyla was wonderful with our 2 cats. Her time was flexible and she was easy to book with over Christmas. During our initial meet and greet, the natural way she interacted with both Magik and Spooky, learning her history with animals, and her authenticity put my nerves at ease. During our time away, Kyla kept us up to date on her visits, how our cats were doing and included pictures. When we returned home, both cats were happy doing great. Kyla will be our go to anytime we are away.

Mallory was so great! We had a few hiccups with food and forgot to provide some key information, but she was so patient with us and willing to roll with the punches.

Teresa was really great with my cat Freyja while I was away, and was very diligent in her care and made sure she was ok. Will recommend to use in the future when the need arises.
