1. Karen A.
“Karen did a wonderful job walking our dogs. We have one very high energy dog that can be difficult to walk until he releases energy and she handled him with such ease! Both of my dogs came back from each walk completely exhausted, it was perfect and exactly what we wanted! Karen was so lovely and we look forward to having her walk our dogs again!”
2. Jada P.
“Jada was great with both our dogs, she was especially good with our puppy who was a little timid at first but they seemed to really warm up to her fast. We are really glad to have found Jada, we will definitely be booking with her again!”
3. Jenna H.
About: I love anything involving being around animals, especially getting to know them. I’m experienced with all life stages and dogs with specific needs. I can do anything from a short walk to a fun sleepover. I’m currently working part time at PetSmart and I take four college classes monday-thursday in the mornings. I am available most days early in the morning and later in the evening, but I can make adjustments to my schedules to fit any sitting. Pet parents are free to leave specific requests for their pets. I strive to keep pets happy and healthy while their parents are out. I’ll do anything necessary to accommodate all needs and provide everything necessary for the fur babies.

“I’ve used Karly’s services multiple times, and she’s been fantastic with Dobby each time! It’s such a relief to have someone reliable and available that Dobby is familiar with. Karly is attentive, caring, and always goes the extra mile to make sure he’s comfortable. Highly recommend!”
6. Katie G.
“Katie is amazing!! She handled my pups with care and leaves detailed reviews and good pics. She took them for good walks the past two days and gave them snacks afterwards. 10/10 would recommend her!”
7. Sheri B.
“Sheri has watched mine and my mom’s dog cooper and has also watched our cat Garfield. Sheri is so trustworthy, honest and most of all so reliable. Whenever my family and I would have to go out of town we would immediately request Sheri. Sheri loves animals so we knew our dog and cat would be in great hands. Sheri followed our house rules and was very respectful of our requests. We never have to worry when we are away.”
8. Halle B.
“Halle took care of my two energetic pups for four days. She provided timely updates and was able to manage them despite their large size and high energy levels. She was great, and I would definitely hire her again! She was so patient and understanding with my pups.”

About: I have experience walking dogs, dog and house sitting, as well as some experience training dogs. I'm a very polite, patient person and will treat both you and your animals with respect. I enjoy high energy activities as well as just relaxing. I'm very flexible in how I take care your dog. I have a dog of my own and I feel like he's my child. I understand that they are important to you and will do my best to keep everyone happy. I'm very adaptable and a quick learner.

Making sure pets have fun and feel comfortable, following medication regimens, making and keeping a safe environment and just showing lots of love are all great attributes of hers!”
14. Brent & David W.
“Brent and David watched after my family’s older dog, Wallie, during the day for a week while I was in-office. Wallie has frequent bathroom needs, but they did an amazing job catering to him. They were patient, attentive, and created a comfortable environment that I know he appreciated. Highly recommend! Thank you, Brent and David!”
15. Stacia E.
“Stacie E. is by far the BEST sitter that has ever watched my boy Frenchie Blu. She's amazing I'm big on communication and she exactly what I needed and beyond. I don't think Blu wanted to leave when I went to pick him up. I will definitely be booking with her for my two week vacation. Stacie is definitely the Godmother of dogs.”

In your home, I will strive to make no footprint and focus on caring for your animal as if you were there.
