Autumn was great with my elderly and shy doggy! She made her so comfortable to the point that’s her new friend only after a couple visits (Lucy is super shy). Autumn was great with communication and just all around a nice and helpful person. Thank you so much!

About: I am an animal behaviorist and a CPDT certified dog trainer! I am very familiar with all different temperaments as well as sizes/breeds of cats & dogs. In addition, I grew up on a farm so I have plenty of experience with farm animals as well! Wednesday-Saturday I work 10 hour shifts but am available before and after work for drop ins. Sunday-Tuesday I am available all day for drop ins or walks. I will definitely try to stick to their routine as much as possible! I’m all about minimizing stress/anxiety as much as I can. Every animal has different needs and I will do my best to meet them all while keeping everyone safe.

About: If i can take care of my husky, then i definitely can take care of any other dog pretty much. I got my first pet when 6(german sheperd), i got another dog when 11 and now am 20 and i got a siberian husky(wife's gift). I lost my other two before moving to US. It was tough since i was very young at the time, basically i have been a dog lover since forever. I will take care of your dog as if it was my little Nova, i feed nova 3 times a day since she is a big dog, take her to potty every two hours or when she lets me know that she has to go (trained her to not do her business inside the house) and i brush her fur daily. I also have a cat her name is Blue, she and Nova are my only babies at the moment.

About: I have always lived in a home with pets. Growing up with animals taught me to read their cues and thoughtfully curate our interactions to prioritize their happiness and safety. From the responsibility of walking a dog to the subtle art of caring for a cat, I have both experience with and appreciation for all aspects of being a pet parent. I am currently in the midst of the graduate school application process and have ample weekday availability to help when needed. I am happy to walk, entertain, or simply keep dogs or cats company throughout the day. I am currently in the graduate school application process, which gives me a flexible schedule and availability throughout the day to care for your pet. I’m able to plan my time around their needs, whether that means walks, playtime, feedings, or companionship. I am comfortable replicating your established routine with your pet to the best of my ability. Having hired help for my own two cats when needed, I understand the desire to limit the variability your pet experiences during these interactions. With your guidance, I hope to create the best possible experience for your pet!

About: Hi! I’m Tiffany. I’ve loved dogs my whole life and grew up caring for them. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I treat every dog like my own. I’d love the opportunity to help care for your pup! Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I’m not working a traditional 9–5 at the moment, so I have a flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize walks, visits, and quality time based on each pet’s needs. I enjoy building pet care into my day and making sure every dog gets the attention, care, and consistency they deserve. I prioritize safety, supervision, and routines, provide calm secure environments, respect clients’ homes, and communicate regularly so pets feel comfortable, cared for, and owners feel confident.

Allison and Andrew are absolutely fantastic dog walkers!! They were always on time and happy and ready to walk our excited and energetic mini Bernedoodle Reggie. Reggie loved his walks with them and would stand by the door patiently and a little anxiously every am and pm waiting for his walk with Allison and Andrew ! We were very pleased and will definitely use them again !!!

I am so thankful to have found Aaron! Right off the bat he is extremely kind, flexible, and professional when it comes to figuring out you and your pets needs. He emphasizes keeping your pet in their routine as much as possible which is much appreciated. My very shy dog warmed up to him quickly as he spent time with her to make her feel comfortable! I loved receiving pictures and videos of my dog during his visit, which made me feel relieved that my dog was getting treated with above and beyond care. Your pet will be in wonderful hands with Aaron. Will be booking him regularly! Thank you so much Aaron we are so happy to have found you!
