“Our dog Tux loves when Angelica comes to visit!”

“Michael was wonderful with my dog Shelby. He showed up on time each day, and was gentle and patient with her. (She was reluctant to go out sometimes). He communicated with me each day about how it went. Shelby acquainted herself quickly with Michael and started to look forward to her walks. I would highly recommend him. He's definitely a dog lover and is responsible and communicative. Thanks Mike!”

“Julie is great with Buddy! She has sat with him, given him his meds, walked and played with him. She makes sure I get photos and videos to check in. It’s nice to know there is someone reliable and caring to help with my big, goofy, neurotic dog.”

About: I have taken care of both dogs and cats since I was a child. Friends and family have relied on me to help take care of their pets when away on vacation. I am currently available for weekends and evening drop ins until mid June. I am currently on summer break from school and will have plenty of time to take your pet on walks, feed, and care for them. September through mid June my availability will change slightly Monday through Friday. Saturday and Sunday I will have plenty of time to devote to your pet. I will make sure your pet is on their leash when going on a walk, keep a safe distance from other dogs, and make sure they have plenty on water.

“I am so relieved to have found someone who was able to connect with my 20 month old 110 lb white Shepard. Kimba has a traumatic history and I have worked really hard to rehab him mentally since adopting him a few months ago. He immediately took to Anthony and put his fear-based aggression aside. Anthony constantly sent me updates with photos and followed all my requests to keep Kimba on his daily routine. I highly recommend Anthony to care for your dog.”

“Patrick has been wonderful with our two dogs! Communication is prompt, and he is always on time with our weekly walks. He’ll maximize the time spent with our dogs, exploring new walking paths and scenery. He is always responsive to any questions we have, too.”

She is extremely trustworthy and caring and will make sure that your pets are cared for as well as her own. I highly recommend Keri for your pet sitting/walking needs.”

“Samantha was absolutely amazing. She made every walk we had scheduled with her and gave great up dates a photos of our little guy while we were out. She made us very comfortable and knew he was in great hands.”

“Lauryn is an extremely loving and caring person with animals. When my cat was suffering from a hematoma, they were nothing short of excellent with helping me give care to him. Lauryn is also a cat owner themselves and anytime I have seen them together, their cat has been very affectionate and loving after starting out as a frail and shy cat. My dogs are always happy to see Lauryn, instantly running up to them and waiting eagerly to be scratched and pet. Overall Lauryn is a very responsible, loving, caring person who is very committed to making sure all pets feel loved and cared for.”

About: Whether you have a playful puppy, a senior dog, or a special-needs cat, I go beyond basic care to ensure your pet feels loved, safe, and well-cared for. Pet care is a central part of my daily routine. I ensure that each pet I care for receives the attention they deserve by scheduling regular check-ins, walks, and playtime. My daily routine includes regular walks, playtime, and enrichment activities to keep them engaged. I also maintain a clean and safe environment, ensuring all pets are fed according to their diet

About: I have always taken care of a dog in my family. Whether you have senior dogs who need medication or puppies who need to get thie energy out, I am willing to help. My dog needed insulin as he grew older so if your dog is a diabetic, I already have experience. I have also witnessed seizures in dogs before and can react appropriately. School and work are part time. They are on mostly fixed schedules and if they ever need me, you as the client will have a days notice at least. Time management is something I take very seriously and that will carry on into caring for your pet. While I have one kitty at home myself, I also volunteer at the local animal shelter. The focus is your pet and their care while I take over for the scheduled service.

About: Hi! I’m Jenny From The Block. Dog lover, rescuer, and mom. I have 30 plus years of experience with my own and others’ dogs — and pets/animals of all kinds really. I’m married with 3 almost-grown boys. Everyone knows my favorite “boy” is a 4 year old, 20 pound Chihuahua/Jack Russell(?) mix rescue named Brodie. He’s very social and kind, and he loves to play. In his bow tie, he looks like a tiny, furry old man. He’s trained and great with other dogs. These days, he's a bit sad & lonely because we recently lost our puppy Akira to epilepsy. I have experience administering meds, adhering to a strict schedule, seizures, emergency medical care… I have experience with older and special needs animals, and puppies are no problem. As an owner of dogs with anxiety, I can assure you that your pup will receive the personalized attention that they need. I have lots of experience with high anxiety dogs and the behavior that can come along with an anxious dog. Patience and trust is key. I’ll like to brush the dogs daily for a healthy coat and to reduce anxiety (and reduce shedding!). I have 3 years professional obedience training from puppy on up. I have no issues with any sort of crates, collars, housing types, etc… We have crates if your pup feels more secure there or just needs some “me time.” Or they can play, lounge or nap in our separate doggie lounge area. My pets are allowed on furniture and sleep in the bed with us. I’m happy to accommodate your dog in whatever conditions they are most used to at home, makes them (and you!) most calm, comfortable, and happy when away from home. I am a stay-at-home mom, so I'm free to spend a lot of time playing with and taking care of your dog. My schedule is flexible and dictated by the “dogs’ days.” Some days we have tons of energy and are excited to get outside to run, play and release energy. Other days are lazy days, where snuggles, naps and belly rubs are in order. I love playing and cuddling with all the furbabies and will sit down on the floor with them for one on one and pack time. Sometimes it’s difficult to tell who’s having more fun! Most dogs need daily exercise to keep them from getting bored or anxious, and to release energy. Weather-permitting, a typical morning or afternoon includes a long walk in my quiet & safe neighborhood. It’s a great opportunity to get exercise and practice commands & and good manners with other (friendly) dogs we meet. Or, we might spend time in the yard playing, exploring, chasing squirrels, birds or each other… followed by a nice nap in the sun. Regular activity and stimulation results in a calm, happy dog at pick up. I have a relatively flexible schedule. I am available on weekends and weekdays and can work with you on your specific pick up, drop off, daycare, and boarding time table. I treat all dogs as if they are my own. My services are tailored to your pet's unique needs, ensuring they get all the love, playtime, and belly rubs they are used to at home! (Possibly more!) My fun but firm approach has earned me the title of 'dog whisperer'. Dogs are innately pack animals and don’t always like being alone, so it’s important that your dog trusts me and we bond. I am with them all day when they’re here. Pet safety as my top priority, you can trust that your furry friend will be in good hands with me. When we go outside, I stay with them at all times. I have secure fencing around the backyard. Dogs are never left unattended outdoors. I live in a quiet, safe, dog-friendly neighborhood. My home is also safe, secure and animal-friendly. I have space for crates if you need your dog to sleep in a crate at night, otherwise they are free to sleep with me. For a smooth transition, I ask you pack your pup's collar/harness, leash, food, and crate or other items they enjoy. Please let me know if your pet has any medical limitations, physical limitations, any other sort of restriction. Also, if they have a history of reactivity/aggression towards people or dogs so I can accommodate their behavior. You can have 100% peace of mind when your fur baby is with me.

“Brianna is one of the most caring and empathetic people you will meet. She cares deeply about the feelings of all living creatures. She is nurturing and takes amazing care of her pets and others. She is also incredibly responsible and organized. You couldn't ask for better when inviting someone to care for your beloved fur babies.”
