About: Leash up! New clients welcome—let’s walk and wag! 🐾 Hi there! I’m Breanna—a lifelong animal lover raised on a farm, where caring for animals was second nature. I’m a nurse and now a stay-at-home mom who finds deep joy in looking after all kinds of pets and animals. When I’m with your dog, I don’t just walk or watch—I engage. I incorporate light training to reinforce good behavior, and I love taking candid, high-quality photos that my clients always rave about. The pictures are often their favorite part! Plus, I like to bring fresh carrots from my garden for treats and no matter what I make sure there is always fresh water in their bowl! With a flexible schedule, I’m able to offer reliable, attentive care tailored to your pet’s needs—whether that’s dogs, cats, birds, fish, or just about any animal needing love and support. Have a pet with special needs? I’ve got experience there too. I cared for our 6.5 yo Saint Bernard with severe medical needs for many years and I’m comfortable working with animals who require extra patience and understanding. Being a nurse has made me very attentive to animals needs! I know they’re your babies—because mine are too. They can’t tell us what they need, so it’s our job to show up with love, patience, and care they can feel. Can’t wait to hear from you! I have a very wide open schedule seven days a week to help care for your pet. Walking is such a necessity for my life and I find that this schedule fits perfectly into that! Here to help! 🤲🏼 We live on a third acre lot in town with a large wooden fence, dogs live inside, but enjoy the outdoors in the backyard. In order to stay at our home, I will be very particular to the dog because it is important for my dogs (Thunder & Murray.) I would love to establish a small cliental of individuals that are comfortable bringing the furbaby to our house for the consistency of everyone.
About: I have 5+ years of professional experience walking and caring for pets at a veterinary clinic and 12+ years of experience walking and caring for my dog, Chico. Medications are no problem! My dog is diabetic, so I know how to administer insulin shots if needed. I have a flexible schedule, so let me know what times would work best for you! I am usually available every day of the week at any time. However, I am busy on weekends for the next couple weeks. I walk, feed, medicate, and play with your pets to ensure your furry loved ones remain happy and comfortable in their homes while you are away.
About: I've never met a dog that doesn't end liking me. I usually take care of my sisters dogs when needed vet trips and all goodies I'm currently working part time twice a week until the end of September. My schedule is very flexible, when you need me just call me We go for walks I'll have them on leash, play with them in your yard always having an eye on them, water and feed them
About: With a passion for four-legged companions and a commitment to their well-being, I am a reliable dog and cat sitter ready to provide top-notch care for your furry friends.

I’m available during the week after 3:30 PM and on weekends all day/night! I live in an apartment and have a cat of my own. I do not primarily offer care inside of my home, but can’t be flexible for the right situation!
About: I grew up raising and caring for dogs and they are my passion and my life! Because of this, I know how much work it takes to give pets the care they deserve. I am knowledgeable about dogs and puppies, and know the ins and outs of caring and loving pets. I am a lover of all tiny, energetic pups, medium sized dogs, and large, more calm dogs! I am very flexible when it comes to scheduling, am almost always available, and willing to travel or meet you and your pet’s needs. If you have more than one let, no problem! Let me know if you have any preferences of special requests. Whether you are or aren’t a “pet parent,” you can always trust me with your pet! I work, but my schedule varies and is flexible. I am here to meet the needs of my clients and to be flexible to the needs of the pet(s). I treat my clients home as a safe place for the pet(s). I do what I am asked with respect of the environment of the home overall.

Holly D.
“Holly took care of our three fur babies with the best of care! We called on Holly quite a few times over three years as we traveled fairly often. They went above and beyond with not only reliable and responsible care, but we also knew they love what they do and they loved our cats while we were away. And we could tell our cats appreciated them as well, as they usually hide from anyone else but us, but they did not for Holly! (With picture updates for proof haha!) Highest recommendation possible!”

Benjamin C.
“Ben is awesome!! He watched my dogs (and cat) for a weekend. Both of my dogs are rescues, and one can be a bit skiddish and scared. Ben was so great with her!!! He has a special gift with doggies and wasn’t intimidated or worried about my dogs. He sent picture updates. I also wrote out specific details for my dogs’ care, and he did awesome with that as well. My dogs have their routine, so it was great having someone watch them and take care of their needs. I’d recommend him.”
