“He did really well with my dog. I got to meet him and he was really great! He kept me updated on all he was doing and sent me pictures of my dog. I was really worried because my dog is high energy and he put all that at ease. I will definitely have him walk my dog in the future!”

“We had to cancel 3 days before our reservation bc my husband was hospitalized. Samantha was very gracious about the cancellation. I know my pups were looking forward to see her and we’ll definitely be contacting her again once he’s in better shape”

“Melissa was wonderful with our two energetic Boston terriers. We hired her to walk them during the day while our friend (who was staying at our house when we were in vacation) was at work. Not only did she walk them, she took the time to play with them as well and get their energy out. We would definitely hire her again!”

About: I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember. I’ve been around all kinds of animals my whole life, from chickens, hamsters to cats, dogs, and even horses. I’ve helped care for cats and dogs for family and friends in the past, providing feeding, playtime, companionship, and general care. I genuinely love spending time with animals! I’m very patient and understanding, which I think is super important when it comes to pet care (and earning their trust!). I am a college student but I usually only have two classes in the morning, which leaves me free the rest of the day to give your pets plenty of attention, care, and love! I have a fenced backyard and a super friendly, medium-sized dog, along with a cat who spends most of her day exploring outside. If your pet needs privacy or separate space, I totally understand and have room to accommodate that.

About: I provide attentive, compassionate care tailored to each pet’s unique needs. I’ve cared for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, gerbils, and rabbits, giving me hands-on experience with both small pets and larger companions. My background as a veterinary technician allows me to confidently handle medication administration, monitor health and behavior changes, and respond calmly in urgent situations. My zoo keeping experiencing also aids in my ability to understand how important enrichment and cleanliness are to your pet's overall happiness. Utilizing knowledge gained from prior puppy and adolescent dog training courses, also helps me with walking, hiking, and in house behaviors. Pet care is a natural and consistent part of my daily and weekly routine. I plan my schedule around feeding times, hikes, play, and individualized attention to ensure each pet’s needs are met. With a flexible work schedule, I am able to provide in-home care 3 days a week uninterrupted and with a local home location, am able to check in on days in the office as well. Whether it’s daily check-ins, walks, or extended stays, I make sure every pet receives reliable, compassionate care as part of my regular routine—not as an afterthought. I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible, whether in my home or in my client’s home, to help them feel comfortable and secure. I provide regular feeding, fresh water, walks or exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection. I closely monitor behavior, appetite, and overall health, and I keep pet parents updated with photos and messages. My home is equipped with 2 outdoor security cameras as well as a fully fenced in yard. In a client’s home, I respect the space while ensuring pets receive consistent care, enrichment, and companionship. In my home, pets are given a calm, safe environment with supervision, structured routines, and positive reinforcement. With my veterinary technician experience and animal care and dog training certifications, I’m able to administer medications, support training, care for puppies, and provide gentle, attentive care for senior pets. My goal is always to keep pets happy, safe, and stress-free while their owners are away.

About: I have raised dogs my whole life and have helped raise multiple litters. I have an immense amount of patience and nothing is too much for me to help take care of. My schedule is open and I am very willing to help out as much as I can to help give peace of mind and make the day easier. I will provide compassionate and attentive care and understanding to your pets needs and ensure a safe environment through respect and patience to all pets.
“I’m so delighted with Erin! She’s extremely personable and instantly made me feel comfortable with her caring for my dog. She’s on time for her weekly walks and communicates after each walk with how they went. I can’t say enough great things about her! Definitely would recommend her to anyone, a total 10/10!!”
