“Katie is WONDERFUL!! Wags, my overweight beagle (who lets me live there with my cat Top!) is already showing signs of having more energy. When I come home, he is bouncing up and down to meet me. It has been a while since he had this energy; I know it’s ALL because of Katie walking Wags! Besides this, Wag’s loves Katie and didn’t give me a second look when she came for him!!!♥️♥️”

“Regan was a life saver, my walker canceled at the last minute and she was able to cover. Very quick response, good communication and very accommodating. I will definitely use her again for walks.”

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pups of all ages, breeds, and personalities. I currently have two amazing dogs of my own — Khloe is a resilient (almost) 11-year-old who’s overcome major medical challenges, including a leg amputation and daily medication routines, and the other (Oakley) is an energetic young pup who keeps life exciting! Because of my own dogs, I’m no stranger to giving medication (including injections), working with limited mobility or vision, and supporting senior pets with the extra care they need. Whether your dog is a bouncing puppy or a gentle senior, I’ll treat them like family — with patience, playtime, and plenty of belly rubs. I’d love to help care for your furry friend while you’re away! I work second shift, so I’m available in the mornings and early afternoons to care for your pet! I also live very close to work and am able to run home on breaks to see my dogs. In my home, dogs are treated like part of the family. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I make sure every dog gets the exercise and fresh air they need with daily walks, just like I do with my own pups. For dogs with limited mobility or who tire easily, I even have a wagon that I use to wheel them around so they can still enjoy the outdoors safely and comfortably — something I do often for my senior, three-legged dog. Inside my home, I provide a calm, structured environment. I have two crates available and can accommodate both crate-trained dogs and those who prefer to free roam. I always take the time to understand each dog’s routine and personality so I can tailor their care — whether that’s sticking to a medication schedule, providing quiet time, or making sure they have plenty of play and affection. In a client’s home, I aim to follow your routines as closely as possible to keep your pup comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. My top priority is always the safety, happiness, and well-being of your dog.

As the go-to pet sitter in my family, I've cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities—whether it's for a weekend away or a last-minute day trip. In addition to providing loving, reliable care, I can also assist with basic training and reinforcement of good habits. Your pets will be safe, happy, and well cared for—just like family. As a recent college graduate with a degree in teaching, I currently have a very open and flexible schedule. I'm available to care for your pets any day of the week—whether it's a weekday, weekend, or even a last-minute need. My flexible availability means I can easily accommodate daily walks, extended stays, or drop-in visits, all tailored to what works best for you and your pet. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities.

I can work with their dietary schedules and needs as well as their special care.

About: I have grown up with animals my whole life. Family and friends have trusted me with their animal care for years and never regret it! I feed all three of my own pets daily as well, clean daily, and enjoy little walks with my old man Creamy dog whenever he has energy to go outside! I currently study Medical Assisting at Midwest Technical Institute Mon-Thurs 9-2. Spending my free time taking care of animals makes my life more fulfilling, and my client's life much easier! I have a big backyard for play with my own animals, I have scheduled feedings, and can administer medication to your pet as I do with my pets. I intend to replicate this in my client's home whenever necessary!
“Thank you so kuch for caring for Riley! She just loved her walk and she needed the exercise. Giving her the meds she needed helped me as well. Will definitely be using you again. I can tell that you truly love animals and your work.”

I do ask for request to be submitted at least a day in advance. I ask for same day care to be submitted two hours before requested arrival. My interactions with the animal depends on your pet’s interactions with me. For example, if your pet likes cuddles and has alot of energy. I would match that energy with various games and of course snuggle with them. However if your pet is the complete opposite and like to relax all day, I can do that too!
