I would recommend Regan 100% to take care of your pup!”

She also took care of our horse and gave him the love he needed while we were away. Basically, she loves animals! We would highly recommend her without hesitation.”

“She was awesome! I got picture and text updates. He had to lay low for a few days and she took the energy to keep him separated from the other dogs. She also came and picked him up when she was out and about, knowing it would make it easier for me. Chicken loved being with her and the family.”


About: Hi everyone my name is Alicia. I have always been an animal lover since i can remember. I have grown up around dogs. I have personally owned both cats and dogs. My family is also animal lovers. I have 3 daughters 14, 11, and 5. We love going for walks in the summer as a family. Your puppy/dog will have the best visit ever with myself and my family and will love all the attention from the kids!! We are always home on the weekends too so I'm always available even with short notice :) hope to hear from you soon!!!! And thank you for giving the opportunity to watch your four legged kids!! I am a stay at home mom so I have fairly open availability during the week and on the weekends. I do make my own work schedule so I can easily fit clients in. I am located in a neighborhood with little traffic so I can take your fur baby(s) out for walks around the neighborhood. Unfortunately at this time my yard is not fenced but they would never be left unsupervised outside.

“Paige did a wonderful job with Ruby and I really liked that she took time to meet us and Ruby before the walk. I hope to hire Paige again to walk Ruby. Paige seems to really love animals and care about them. She was on time and did a little training along with the walk.”


“Madelyn has watched my pets multiple times and has done an amazing job every time! My dog absolutely loves her and is always excited when she is over. Not only is she reliable and a hard worker, but she is also so caring and empathetic to animals and anyone who comes to her for help. I've known Madelyn for years and I genuinely believe that she will be great for this position!”

About: I have loved animals from day one. I slept with so many stuffed animals my dad called my bedroom the animal kingdom. Which is now what I call my house. I have 2 cats and 3 dogs. I was a manager at a a pet store for a couple of years. So I have experience with creatures of all sizes. I hope you’ll trust me to care for your babies. My job is very flexible and I have the option to work remote if need be. I am usually always around on weekends unless otherwise specified. I am open to how your routine goes. I want it to be a seamless transition for your pet. I will care for them how you see fit.

“I’m writing to recommend my cousin Wendy. She’s seriously one of the biggest animal lovers I know — she’s been around animals her whole life and lights up anytime she’s caring for them. Working with animals isn’t just something she’s interested in — it’s something she genuinely loves and has always had a natural connection to. Wendy’s super patient, hardworking, and always goes the extra mile to make sure animals feel safe and cared for. Whether it’s pets at home or helping out with friends’ animals, she’s the one everyone trusts. I know she’s really excited to find a job doing something she’s passionate about, and I’m confident she’d bring a lot of heart and dedication. I think she’d be a great fit — and any pet would be lucky to have her looking after them!”

About: I absolutely love dogs, grew up with a Shih Tzu Poodle and now my mom has a pure bred Shih Tzu that I steal from time to time (see picture). My boyfriend’s family has an English setter and a blue healer, so I love hunting/high energy dogs as well! I do work a full time sales job, but it is very flexible when I have a heads up. I’m unable to work fully from home, so dogs that are ok being alone for a few hours work out well. I live in a 2,200 sq ft town home, and a half fenced in yard. Just me and my boyfriend live here so no kids or other animals will be around. We do allow dogs on the furniture and they can sleep with us if they’d like, we like to snuggle

I’ve spent my life around dogs of various breeds from Shibas to Goldendoodles to Bernese Mountain dogs to Saint Bernards. Through these years I’ve trained puppies whether at home or attending classes and volunteered at various animal shelters. I have a special place in my heart for dogs and promise to care for your dog the way I would my own! I work from home so my schedule is very flexible, including weekends. I can plan around pretty much anything. Would prefer advance notice for any weekend pet care. I can easily drive over to either take your dog for a walk, check in, or watch your dogs in my home for some doggy daycare.

About: I've been around dogs of all sizes and tend to get along with most. Especially love energetic dogs to run and play with. But the older and calmer dogs are great for hugs and affection!

I currently have 4 animals of my own so I tend to know how to take care of one. Spoiled rotten. I would take them for walks and give treats and lots of love.
