“Lisa was amazing and we will 100% book her again! Melly and Tallulah loved their walks everyday and after the 2nd day would wait for Lisa by the door! Lisa was always on time, easy to communicate with and very flexible when I changed the walk time a couple of times! It's easy to see Lisa's love for animals and she treated Melly and Tallulah like her own. Thank you Lisa!”

About: My family and I are major pet people, so I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, guinea pigs, etc. for my entire life. I’ve cared for multiple kittens, puppies, and even a newborn squirrel! I’ve also cared for multiple senior pets so I am able to care for pets of all ages. I currently have multiple dogs and cats that I take care of every day, as well as a snake! I recently graduated with my biology degree and I am applying for masters programs/ med school, so I have plenty of time on my hands right now to be available on all weekdays. I walk my 3 dogs everyday; I can walk your dogs on a leash or watch after them while they play outside if your yard is fenced, or keep them leashed if you have no fence, whatever you prefer!
“We can’t say enough about Emily! She’s just simply amazing. Our baby, Penny, adores her and Penny definitely gets a lot of attention and affection when Emily visits. We highly recommend Emily!”

Tori H.
“I highly recommend Tori to anyone in need of care for their pets. She treats my Sadie with much love and Sadie is always waiting for Tori each time she comes. Tori is very responsible about the needs of all animals and ensures they get their medicine, hair brushed or anything that is asked of her. She always goes above and beyond! Tori treats Sadie just like she is her own and has become a part of our family. Sadie does not trust anyone to care for her needs besides myself of course, and her best friend and care giver Tori!”
