About: Hi, I’m Stephanie! I’m currently serving in the Navy while attending college, and I bring that same level of discipline, reliability, and attention to detail into my work with animals. I specialize in working with dogs who need a little extra patience and understanding. I trained my golden retriever, Eleanor, from severe anxiety, she couldn’t even tolerate a leash at first, to becoming a confident, happy dog through consistent, positive reinforcement. That experience taught me how to read body language, build trust, and adapt to each dog’s unique personality. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, or needs structure, I provide safe, attentive, and engaging walks tailored to their needs. I treat every dog like my own and always prioritize their comfort and well-being. I’d love to meet your pup, feel free to reach out to schedule a walk! Caring for dogs is something I naturally build into my day. I already plan my routine around my own dog, Eleanor, so adding walks, playtime, and check-ins for other dogs fits in seamlessly. I’m used to staying consistent with schedules, and I make sure every dog gets the time, attention, and care they need. It’s something I genuinely enjoy, not just something I fit in. I care for pets by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible, whether in my home or a client’s home. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walk times, medications if needed, and any specific preferences. In a client’s home, I make sure the environment stays clean, safe, and stress-free, and I respect the space as if it were my own. I pay close attention to each dog’s behavior and body language to ensure they’re comfortable, especially for dogs who may be anxious or adjusting. In my own home, I provide a structured, calm environment with plenty of supervision, exercise, and positive interaction. I prioritize safety at all times and never leave pets unattended in situations that could be stressful or unsafe. I also keep owners updated with regular messages and photos so they feel confident and connected while they’re away.

Serena was amazing! She is great at communicating (she responded to my changes and details quickly) and rebel loves her. It is so nice to have someone I can trust when I am unavailable to be there for my dog. She was always on time even when I made changes to the location/details. I would absolutely recommend her and will be using her again in the future for Rebel. (: Thank you Serena!

About: I’ve been the go-to sitter for friends, neighbors, and family for years. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of every kind, from playful puppies and kittens to calm seniors, and I love getting to know each pet’s personality. You can count on me to walk, feed, and bathe your pets while keeping them safe, happy, and loved like they’re part of my family. I work in-office Tuesday through Thursday but have the flexibility to come and go throughout the day as needed. I’m fully available on Mondays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, so I can easily fit in walks, drop-ins, or extended stays around my schedule! Safety and comfort always come first. Whether I’m in my home or yours, I make sure pets are in a secure environment with plenty of attention and care. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, keeping routines consistent for feeding, walks, and playtime,and always give extra love and patience to help pets feel relaxed and safe while you’re away.

Shelby was awesome. He took such great care of my chihuahua while I was away, even though my pup can be… A LOT. He kept me in the loop the whole time with photos and updates, which made being away so much easier. You can tell he really cares and knows what he’s doing. Super reliable, super kind, and honestly just great to work with. Highly recommend Shelby to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and phenomenal with pets. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

About: Hi! I’m 19 years old and I’ve been surrounded by pets my entire life. I truly love animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. I have about 4 years of experience caring for dogs, including regular dog walking and daily care. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive, and I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care! ❤️🐾 Pet care fits very well into my routine. I study from Monday to Thursday and finish classes at 2 PM, which gives me plenty of time in the afternoons and evenings to care for pets, go on walks, and give them the attention they need. I’m also available on weekends and can be flexible depending on each pet’s needs. I always prioritize safety, trust, and comfort when caring for pets, whether in my home or my client’s home. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, including feeding instructions, walking schedules, and any special needs. I make sure the environment is clean, calm, and safe, and I never leave pets unattended during walks or playtime. I treat every pet with patience and respect, making sure they feel secure, loved, and comfortable at all times.

About: I've had dogs all my life, & have owned my own for 20 years. When I got married I took in my parents 2 older yorkies & purchased our own. During the last 20 years, I've raised a total of 6 generations of Yorkies. As my Yorkies have gotten older, we’re eyeing to get a bigger dog soon & looking to get used to walking bigger babies. So we’re both going to be walking each other while having fun too! I also love pictures, so if you request them, I will be more than happy to send pics & videos during their walks. Any questions, just ask! I am a stay at home dog mom, so I am always home, unless I need to run an errand, then my husband will be here. Since I have my own set of dogs, it’s something I already do & would love to take care of other dogs/ cats as passive income. I have a fenced yard & my own pack of dogs. They are never left unattended or outside for more than 5-10 mins. While doing their business or getting their Vitamin D in for the day. We do prefer pets that are able to be crated at night. Please be prepared to bring a crate for your baby. We also do require that your baby have records of shots. This can be discussed in further detail via phone call.

About: I have extensive experience caring for dogs and cats of all temperaments and ages, I provide personalized care that meets each pet's unique needs.

I understand cat behavior and body language, allowing me to build trust with even the shyest companions. I love animals and am committed to treating every pet as family. Your companion's safety, comfort, and happiness are my highest priorities. I am available on weekends and have flexibility with work since I work remotely for several days throughout the work week.

On Walks: Dogs remain on secure, appropriate leashes at all times. I'm constantly aware of surroundings, traffic, and other animals, choosing safe routes suited to your dog's temperament. With Cats: I ensure all entry points are secure, respect their boundaries, and follow feeding and medication schedules precisely. I'm knowledgeable about feline safety and keep them away from any hazards. Emergency Preparedness: I have a clear action plan for emergencies and will immediately contact you and your veterinarian if any concerns arise. Communication: Transparency builds trust. I provide regular updates and openly discuss any behavioral observations or concerns. Your companion's safety isn't just a job, it's a promise to you.

Nigel carried my "baby" home the other day because she couldn't make it back on her own. He let me know and checked back in with between visits to see if she was ok. I knew Nigel was special since he began helping me with my dog but he went above and beyond, carrying a 65 pound pit bull home instead of dragging her and using harsh commands. I'm so glad I found him! He is truly a gift.

Nicole was helping us out with our pug, Bert, after I had hip surgery. Nicole is super friendly, great with communication, but most importantly Bert loved her! I would ask if he was excited for Nicole to come and he would wait by the dog. Strongly suggest booking her for your doggos and cat needs. I plan on calling her again for future visits

Natalie has been an absolute lifesaver, taking care of my pup as I recover from knee surgery. It’s amazingly clear how much she genuinely cares about the dogs she works with. She’s reliable, communicative, and always goes the extra mile to make sure my pup was happy, safe, and well-exercised. What really stands out is the level of attention and love she gives. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, professional, and truly passionate about animals, Natalie is the one. I couldn’t recommend her more highly!

Ari was great! Bert was so excited to meet her—he immediately brought her a toy before heading out on their 30-minute walk. She was very mindful of Bert being a pug in the hot weather and brought him back a little early, which we truly appreciated. He came home happy and exhausted! We’re already planning to use Ari again in just a few days. Highly recommend booking her!

When Nena's regular sitter was hospitalized right before a business trip we were completely lost and in a panic. Andrea to the rescue! Andrea was super quick and responding to my inquiry for availability, and setting up a meet and greet. Nena was extremely happy and pampered my entire trip, and I came home to a pup that was grinning from ear to ear! Great communication, updates and pictures everyday while I was away.
