“Brooke is so great with our two girls (bmd and golden). They have very different personalities and Brooke is able to juggle both effortlessly. So happy to have her care for our doggies :)”

“Shelly is AMAZING!! So attentive, great communication, thorough follow through, and just all around wonderful! We completely recommend Shelly for anyone wanting help with their fur babies! So comforting to be reassured there are still great people in the world, and Shelly truly is one of the great ones!”

About: I can’t wait to meet your fur babies! I’ve been a dedicated pet lover my entire life, and I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to care for your beloved pets. I understand that your furry friends are part of your family, and I treat them as such. I have over 20 years of pet care experience with cats and dogs, from kittens/puppies to seniors, including experience caring for multiple dogs at once in doggie daycare/overnight boarding. However, I prefer being able to provide direct care in the comfort of your pet’s familiar home. I know that every pet is unique, and I’ll take the time to understand yours and their individual needs, routines, and preferences, so they feel comfortable and loved during your absence. Whether it’s midday visits for pets at home during long work hours, or extended weekends away, you can be sure your pets are in good hands. A bit about me: I currently live with 3 very talkative kitties of my own, who each have very unique personalities and preferences. I work mostly from home on a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to give your pets extra love while you are away! For the safety of your pets and mine, I am unable to take same-day appointment requests with new clients. I like to do at least 1 meet and greet with your pets before any paid visits, so I can get to know your pets and their personalities, and make sure you feel comfortable with my services.

“Shannon is awesome! Norman loves his walks with her. She’s super sweet with him, great at handling his less-than-ideal leash etiquette, and super communicative.”

“Sara does an amazing job. My dogs look forward to seeing her. She goes above and beyond. Thank you for being so awesome Sara.”

“Mary is a kind and compassionate individual who is truly an animal whisperer to all animals! Mary confidently can care for a wide range of pets and is familiar with small mammals (rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, etc), dogs, cats, and birds (parakeets, cockatiels, chickens). Mary volunteers at animal shelters and took advanced courses with animals. I strongly recommend.”

“Morgan is my daughter. She has been around cats and dogs her whole life. We have 3 dogs and 2 cats and she is very respectful of them and is always willing to participate in their care. Morgan is very responsible and is going to school for a degree in Microbiology. She lives with me while she is going to school. She would like to help other pet parents with their needs while earning some money and getting some good exercise. She is the neighborhood pet and baby sitter when needed.”

“Logan is dependable, trustworthy, and knowledgeable about dogs! My dogs are pretty crazy and Logan handles both of them wonderfully…I can notice they listen to me better since Logan has been caring for them. His wife is just as awesome and sometimes covers or comes with.”

“Sarah and Lucas communicated when they arrived to take our dog on a walk and feed him. They sent pictures and let us know he was a friendly dog and the walk went well. They were very flexible with scheduling as well as I wasn't sure of the exact time I needed them when I booked. Thank you so much!”

“Ella was great! Came for a meet and greet and took our boy for a walk when we were gone. Would definitely recommend her to take care of your pet!”

“As always, Emma is great and we love her!”

“Kate was so patient and friendly! She has experience with reactive dogs and my Aussie warmed up to her extremely fast! After their walk he was happy and tired ?”

“Aubrey is a very responsible and respectful person who is willing to go out of her way to make sure your pet has the best experience. She is also a very trustworthy adult to trust and leave pet with.”

About: I've never not had animals in my house, so I've been a pet-lover since day one! I started walking dogs and sitting as a little side-gig when I was 13 and never looked back. I have lived on farms, in apartments, and in the middle of nowhere, so I have a lot of experience from a lot of different places. Your animals will be loved (adored) and cared for like they are my own. I live in a townhouse with a front and backyard, and close to many dog-friendly trails/hiking paths as well as several off-leash dog parks. I enjoy the outdoors (rain or shine, hot or cold) so if your pet does too, we'll be a great match! I ask that you bring your dog's food, leash, collar and any medications (with instructions!) I do ask that unless it is an absolutely necessary comfort item that you leave any toys or blankets at home so they do not get lost in the shuffle. I have plenty of toys and soft things here for them to play and burrow to their heart's content! I currently work from home, so I am available at pretty much all times for any animal needs. This means its easy to go for long walks, or even a trip to the dog park, pretty much whenever! And cuddles, lots of cuddles. I have an unfenced backyard, but access to a dog park which is very close. I have two very well behaved animals: a ginger domestic shorthair cat named Wanda-Jo and a teddy bear golden dog named Trix. I take pet safety very seriously, and will go above and beyond to make sure your pet is happy, healthy, and content.

“Abigail was good with my girl Cedar who is dog reactive. We went on a practice walk together which went well and Abigail walked Cedar twice when I was out of town. I’m told it went ok. Thanks!”

“Jessica has had a love for animals longer than I can remember. It’s incredible watching her interact and train her animals and it’s easy to see that it’s her true passion. She’s amazing with all animals and is excellent at what she does!”

“Mary was so thorough with her notes and photos. I feel so relieved to have found such a reliable and caring caretaker! Thank you, Mary!”

“Jimmy is amazing with Alton. He has a clear love for dogs and passion for doing what is needed to care for them. I’m always impressed at seeing the maps of the nice walks they take. Which I’m sure Alton very much appreciates when he’s pouty that I’m away. Jimmy is also very easy to communicate with and always responsive. 10/10 recommend.”

“Wonderful, as always!”

“Jill and her family have been taking care of my big Great Pyrenees Maggie when I go away for years now and have always taken excellent care of her. They walk her consistently and give her lots of attention. Maggie loves them more than she loves me! If Maggie has had a health issue (she is an older dog) while I'm away Jill always communicates it and makes sure Maggie is OK. I have total confidence in Jill and she is my first choice to take care of Maggie when I have to travel. Highly recommend!”
