About: I had tons of animals growing up: chickens, cows, horses, dogs, cats, sheep, you name it! I have three dogs at home and have always loved taking care of them! When I was living at home I got to explore the beautiful hills with my pups and would love to do the same with yours! I am currently a full-time student at BHSU! I am available Mondays and Thursdays in the early afternoon and Fridays in the morning or afternoon. I am very flexible and can easily work around things! I will take your dog’s comfort and health seriously. Our pups have physical and emotional needs just like us, and I want to do what I can to adhere to their needs. Let’s get walking!

17. Mary K.
“I was blessed to meet Mary almost 3 years ago when we both signed up as Muttville volunteers. She has taught me so much about the pooches and even her cats, dogs and Soda, her Moluccan cockatoo!. Mary is so devoted to her fur babies as well as to the Muttville mutts and all of the fur babies she takes care of while their parents are away. She is very knowledgeable about all aspects of care, and puts 200% in to taking care of these babies in all kinds of circumstances. She is very experienced in caring for fospice babies, diabetic babies, and participates in many adoptions at Muttville. What I love is that she makes a special effort to keep her clients informed of their care and adventures; she is a fierce animal advocate; and I rely on her expertise often. This is a 10 Star woman and someone I trust with all fur babies including my own! ”

“Elan was amazing, he made our dogs comfortable enough that they just walked away with him without even looking back for us. He seems to be very good with pets and we highly recommend Elan to any one looking for a dog walker/sitter in his area. We would use his services again if we are ever back in South Dakota, thanks for your help with our pooches!”
