I have known Madison for 3 years and she is an incredible person! She has worked with a wide variety of dog breeds, sizes and temperaments. She has taken training classes, behavior classes, and vet tech classes. She is incredibly intuitive with dogs and all dogs love her. She’s responsible beyond her years, very kind and very intelligent. I would trust no one else with my dog. He adores seeing her and almost seems sad when I pick him up! I can tell her has fun with her. If you’re looking for the best, you’ve found her!

About: I’ve been working with animals professionally now for 3 years. I have worked in shelters, clinics, and doggy daycare and boarding as well as owned animals my whole life. I am currently going to school for dog training! I have multiple pets in my home every day. I have a dog named Zoomie, a cat named Nala, and a pet rat named Rocket. Zoomie and Nala get fed twice a while getting enrichment activities daily. Zoomie gets walks and playtime in the yard and Nala has her own leash and harness and gets to explore the yard as well. I am also going through dog training school so all day I am learning new things about different dog breeds and enrichment. I currently am a full time student and have a part time job so my schedule changes weekly! I have been learning different enrichment activities and training exercises that will help a dog stay mentally enriched and would plan on walking the dogs multiple times a day so that their physical exercise is met. I am quite flexible and can do almost any special requests that a client might need!

About: Ever since I was a kid, I’ve had a special bond with dogs. My first “client” was my neighbor’s golden retriever, Max, who would wait by the fence every afternoon for our daily walk. As I got older, word spread, and soon I was walking and sitting dogs of all shapes and sizes—energetic huskies, stubborn bulldogs, and the sweetest little dachshund who insisted on being carried halfway through every walk. Each dog taught me something—patience, responsibility, and the pure joy of companionship. Whether it was early morning walks, rainy-day snuggles, or playing fetch until we were both exhausted, I loved every moment. Now, I bring that same love and care to every pup I meet, treating them like family. I’m available for pet care throughout the day, making it easy to fit into your schedule. Here’s a general outline of my availability: Morning Walks & Care (7 AM – 11 AM): Perfect for early risers or dogs who need a morning potty break, exercise, or feeding. Midday Visits & Walks (11 AM – 3 PM): Great for pet parents at work who need someone to check in, provide a walk, or give some midday love and attention. Afternoon & Evening Walks (3 PM – 7 PM): Ideal for after-work exercise, feeding, or an evening potty break. Overnight & Extended Care (Available Upon Request): If you need pet sitting for a few hours, overnight, or while you’re away, I offer customized care to keep your pet happy and comfortable. I’m flexible and happy to adjust based on your pet’s needs! Reach out anytime to schedule a visit. Reliable Dog Walking & In-Home Pet Visits I offer personalized care for your pets, whether they need a refreshing walk or a comforting visit at home. Dog Walking: Regular walks help keep your pup happy, healthy, and full of energy. Whether it’s a quick potty break or a long adventure, I tailor each walk to your dog’s needs—rain or shine! In-Home Visits: Need someone to check in on your pet while you’re away? I provide in-home visits that include feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of love to ensure your pet feels safe and comfortable. I treat every pet like family and adjust to their unique routine. Contact me to schedule a walk or visit today!

Danae is reliable, trustworthy and goes above and beyond to care for dogs she cares for. My dog, Roxie, adores her and being able to go on vacation and know that my dog loves the person staying with her means the world to me. Once you meet Danae you will see how she interacts with your dog and see she is a dog lover. She loves to take walks with your dog and just loves on them which is what my dog loves most. I would highly recommend Danae to anyone who is looking for a pet caregiver...she truly is the best.

About: for the past 20 years, I've trained and exercised my own dogs while being available for friends and clients to care for their pets while they're away. My strengths lie in walking, obedience practice, agility work. I can also bathe and brush As a realtor, I am able to set my own schedule each day. If I know far enough ahead of time, I can easily be available to visit a pet client. Because of both size of my house and the needs of my own dogs, I will not be available to keep dogs in my own home.

Leah has cared for both of my doggos and does a great job! She's come to my house to babysit while I'm out of town and I felt better knowing someone was there with my babies all the time. She also cared for my senior dog before he crossed the rainbow bridge. He was on daily medications and had physical limitations due to age and arthritis. I highly recommend Leah, both of my hounds absolutely love her!

About: Fur babies are my life … No literally! 🤗 I’m a Veterinarian Assistant so caring for your pet is literally what I do, what I love.🥰 I work 12hr shifts but only 3 days a a week at a Veterinarian Hospital. So that gives me tons of extra time during the week. I have a fenced in yard and a very nice fur baby to keep your fur baby company. I do also have created if needed.
