Alyssa was amazing for my dog and me. Highly recommend. I had a last minute business trip and she was able to drop in to save the evening and walk Louie while I was out of town. And it was her first walk with us. She knew just what to ask during the meet and greet and then again right before the walk to make it be a success for her, me and most importantly Louie! Thx!!!!

About: The Pet Whisperer: I have decades of experience both caring for AND owning pets; mainly cats and dogs. My first dog was already in the family when I was born; I don't know life without caring for a pet. Dog walks and cat play have always been a part of my lifestyle. Looking to carry my love of pets into caring for yours! I currently have flexibility in my schedule from 6:30 am - 10:30 pm seven days per week; ideally with advance notice especially for boarding and/or around holidays. If an opportunity arises where I am at my home with your pet, I have a fenced in backyard for outdoor play. Indoors I have several dog beds of varying sizes for your dog to feel comfortable and right at home and dog toys to enjoy (both of which get cleaned after every use dog visit)

About: I have been around dogs my entire childhood, and I have had three of my own throughout my life. I grew up training, walking, cleaning, and playing with dogs every day. I have a flexible schedule and would be happy to make house visits! I am an athlete with different training each day, so I can be pretty flexible with my availability throughout the week. I am generally available on week nights and can check in on your dog multiple times each day. I can care for your dog by letting them outside during your preferred times, taking them for walks, cleaning them, and playing with them. I am able to work with multiple dogs as well!

Kylie stopped in to bring my dog Patsy out when I had to work longer shifts at work. She was a great communicator and I felt very comfortable having her care for Patsy. I could tell Patsy loved her too based off how happy she looked in the photos Kylie sent! I would definitely recommend any of her services!

Megan was absolutely wonderful! We were so lucky to have her watch our cat for a week while we were on vacation. We knew our cat was in good hands and that made the vacation even better. She sent updates and photos and even went the extra step of taking out the trash and vacuuming a bit before we got home. Amazing!! Would have her watch our cat anytime, I wish I could give a 10 star rating!

Katie took wonderful care of my puppy, Mabel, over the past few months. She walked her regularly several days a week and was always communicative. It gave me real peace of mind knowing Mabel was in such good hands. I would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible and caring dog walker.

Lucy was very receptive to what my cat needed. She came for 1 visit while I was out of state. She provided a meal, checked water, checked my cats litter, and sent a few photos. I also got a few screen shots from my apartments camera and saw that Lucy even brushed Zelish and played with her which was really nice. I felt happy knowing my cat was well taken care of.

Grace did a great job taking care of my senior cat Dagny. She is still very active, although shy, yet Grace was able to make friends with Dagny, treated her and even got to groom a bit. She followed my particular feeding instructions perfectly, and kept water filled and litter clean. Grace has quick response communication, and shared some great pics of my girl during her visit. I highly recommend Grace for her care and professionalism.

Keaton was so great! He was timely, responsible, communicative, and so sweet with our two cats. I was anxious about leaving them for a few days but not only did they totally warm up to Keaton, he fully took care of every task. I was actually able to enjoy vacation! I got updates with videos and pictures and knew our cats were well cared for. Couldn't ask for anything more!
