Grace was wonderful for our pet. I needed her for an out of town get away! Ariel loved her. Grace was very nice, attentive, and communicative relative to our dogs needs. Thank you Grace! I would highly recommend Grace for your pets needs!

Absolutely love Katelyn. I am very protective of who I allow to walk my Zoey since she is known to be quite a puller and loves to bark. After the meet and greet I felt completely comfortable with Katelyn walking Zoey.

About: I am new to professional pet care, but I have a genuine love for animals and enjoy spending time with dogs. I am responsible, patient, and attentive to each pet’s needs. I am excited to provide safe, caring dog walks and drop-in visits and treat every pet like my own. My work schedule varies from week to week but I’m flexible and always make time for pet care. I’m usually able to fit in dog walks and drop in visits on most days, depending on timing. I enjoy being active and spending time with pets, so I will do my best to accommodate requests and keep communication clear. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, attentive presence during walks and drop-in visits, making sure each dog feels secure and cared for. I stay alert to surroundings, use safe handling practices, and always respect each pet’s individual needs and personality.

Caroline was super attentive and communicative while we were out of town for 4 days. She took care of our dog, walking him and making sure he had food and water daily. She walked him 2x a day! She left the place clean, and our dog was well cared for! Definitely recommend her!

Amy was absolutely wonderful! She showed up right on time, was an excellent communicator before, during, and after the visit, and handled both of our dogs with confidence. I was especially grateful that she was willing to take on a same-day request — and on a holiday, no less! It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life; dogs, cats, ducks, and more. I love being able to provide a safe and peaceful experience for any type of pet! I’m currently caring for my disabled mom. I have the flexibility and availability to help out any time of day. Whether it’s walking, sitting, or check-ins. I currently have two big dogs, Bubba and Rufus. I’ve had both since they were puppies and have used positive reinforcement training to now have both well socialized and very good boys.

About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my eight years of hands-on experience with a wide variety of animals—not just dogs and cats, but also birds, chickens, and horses. I bring a calm, confident presence that helps animals feel at ease, even those with special needs or unique temperaments. I understand that every pet is different and take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and personalities. My background in animal care goes beyond the basics, and I treat each pet like my own—with patience, respect, and genuine love. Whether it’s a cuddle session, a long walk, or specialized care, I’m here to provide reliable, attentive service you can count on. Pet care is part of my daily routine, both at work and at home. I’m a kennel attendant at a veterinary clinic, so caring for animals is literally what I do every day. Before and after work, I’m already on a routine with my own two Aussies and three cats — feeding, walking, and playtime are built right in. That means I’m used to early mornings, late evenings, and structured schedules, and I’m happy to work around what’s best for your pets. I always follow your instructions whether that be taking your dog out on a long lead, or constant watching in your fenced in yard. I make sure they get fed on time, potty breaks if they need them a certain time apart, ie every hour, etc.

About: Hi! I’ve basically lived in a real-life petting zoo since birth—two dogs, a few cats, and a whole lot of fur. I’m 43 and have spent my life rescuing, fostering (and “foster failing”), volunteering, and being everyone’s go-to pet person. If an animal needs love, a home, or just a belly rub—I’m there. I’ve saved pups from the street, matched pets with forever families, and currently live with three dogs and two sibling cats. My dream? To open a doggy daycare and become CEO—fitting, since those are also my initials! Until then, I’m here to treat your pet like my own. I’m currently taking a break from the corporate world, which means I’ve got plenty of time (and love!) to dedicate to pet care. My schedule is super flexible, and I’m excited to fill it with walks, belly rubs, and tail wags! Whether it’s morning strolls or evening adventures, I’m here for it. In your home or mine, pets get VIP treatment—Very Important Pup (or Purr-machine)! I stick to their routines, give tons of love, and make sure they’re comfy, cared for, and having a blast. Whether it's fetch, belly rubs, or just some chill time, I’m all about keeping tails wagging and whiskers happy!

About: Since a child, I have been trusted to watch, walk, and care for neighbors and friends dogs. I still care for my friends and families dogs. I grew into loving the difficult dogs, training lots of different sports and dog behavior. I love seniors/special needs who just need some TLC. Puppies are my absolute favorite. I enjoy the bond and training from the start. I'm currently a stay-at-home mom looking to start working again and thought this would be a great fit due to my passion with animals. I have a flexible schedule and am available to board most days. Dogs will be given love and attention, play, walks, really whatever they are into or owner needs. My own crew loves to swim in our pool, play frisbee or fetch the chuck-it. I have 3 custom built in crates that are massively oversized. I can keep dogs separate from my own or integrate. I absolutely love working with puppies and dogs and exposing them to new fun things!
