“We loooooveeeee Celeste!!! One of my dogs is extremely shy, & Celeste took time to gain her trust. My girl ended up having the best time! She was more than capable of taking all 3 of my dogs out at the same time. They really love her & I will definitely be using her again!”


“I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog received! Elizabeth was punctual, professional, and truly seemed to care about my pup.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover and full-time dog mom to a mini schnauzer who’s never met a pup he didn’t like. I’ve always had dogs (started with a pug!) and love caring for friends’ pups when they’re out of town. When your dog’s with me, they’ll get spoiled with lots of love, playtime, treats, and long walks. Basically, they’ll be living their best life until you get back! I work from home three days a week, so I’m around for plenty of potty breaks, play sessions, and cuddles throughout the day. On weekends, I’m usually a homebody—unless I’m out hitting a trail or hanging at the park with my pup. Your dog will have lots of company, attention, and outdoor time if they’re into it! I live near a big grassy area that's perfect for walks, playtime, and fresh air. I tailor my care to each dog’s individual needs—whether that means active time outside, a relaxed routine indoors, or sticking closely to their usual schedule. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and truly cared for while you're away.

“Daniela is the most loving, caring, and patient dog walker and I never worry about Skye when she’s being walked by her. Thank you taking awesome care of Skye.”


About: I’ve spent over a decade working in healthcare, so being patient, observant, and attentive just comes naturally to me. I know how to care for pets who might need a little extra support — whether they’re seniors, on meds, or just have their own unique routines. I also have a 12-year-old dog who still thinks she’s a puppy, so I understand the mix of sass, energy, and tenderness that comes with older pets. I’ll treat your fur baby like one of my own, with lots of love, play, and comfort. I work full time, but pet care is something I genuinely enjoy and make time for outside of work. My own dog keeps me on a steady routine with morning walks, evening playtime, and lots of love in between — so fitting in care for other pets just feels natural. Weekends and evenings are when I’m most available, and I’m super reliable when it comes to sticking to routines, giving meds, or just being there for a pet who needs some extra attention and love. When caring for pets in my home, I create a safe, cozy environment where your pet can feel relaxed and loved. I stick to their usual routines as much as possible — from feeding and walks to playtime and rest — so they feel comfortable and secure. For care in your home, I treat your space with respect while giving your pet all the attention they need. I follow your instructions closely, whether that means administering meds, keeping up with special diets, or just spending quality time making sure they’re happy and calm. No matter where your pet is, my goal is to provide consistent, loving care that feels just like home.
