About: I have owned dogs most of my life, always showering them with the love and care they deserve. Now, I want to do the same for your pups! I am available most days during the day, weekends included. My schedule is extremely flexible, so I should almost always be able to accommodate your requests.

Melissa was great with my dog, Blaze! She not only provided Blaze with much needed exercise on her daily walks, but she almost always stuck around to give a little tender love and care to our pooch. She also brought in our mail, which was an unexpected perk. I highly recommend Melissa. She is a reliable and loving caretaker of dogs.

About: Animals have been a part of my life since childhood, from our show dog who was an Irish Wolfhound to being a rescue mom to smaller terriers. I have cared for horses, chickens, bunnies which included pets with special handicaps. With deep empathy and natural connection, I understand animals on an intuitive level. I have trained puppies, comforted seniors and welcomed countless creatures who somehow find their way to my home. Your pet will find a home away from home here with me, safe, loving-and I look forward to offering the same love I show all animals to your beloved pet. All the animals in my home live in harmony together. Some visitors marvel at that fact but it's how I treat each animal with love and care that fosters this environment. All needs are met and everyone is happy! I am home during the day and available to provide attentive care for your pet. I may step out briefly for errands or other chores but will ensure your pet's needs are fully met and they get plenty of company and care. Our home is on one acre with a fenced in yard and great area for walking with lots of trees in a peaceful setting. I have a senior dog (17 yo) that loves company. We also have cats which are friendly and curious.

About: Hi! My name is Hannah, and I absolutely love animals of all kinds. I currently have 4 cats, 1 dog, and a horse, so caring for animals is a huge part of my everyday life! I have experience with pets of all personalities — from sassy calicos with lots of attitude to nervous, anxious furry friends who need extra patience and love. I understand that every pet is unique, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Whether your pet loves lots of playtime or prefers a calm and gentle approach, I’m happy to accommodate their needs. I’m currently available for drop-in visits and dog walks, and I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets! :) I work full time so I have the most flexibility on Friday-Monday. For weekdays I am available 6am-8am and 5pm-8pm. On Mondays and Fridays I am also available between 12-2. I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for cats, dogs, and horses every day. I’m patient, attentive, and understand that every pet has their own personality and needs — whether they’re playful, shy, anxious, or full of attitude!

About: I’ve had many dogs in the past and have plenty of experience caring for them. I make sure they get regular walks, lots of playtime, and plenty of attention. I’m responsible for feeding them and keeping them on their routine, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m currently a college student who is very dedicated and hardworking in my studies, and I bring that same level of responsibility and commitment to pet care. During the summer, my schedule is very open, which allows me to be flexible and available throughout the day. I don’t have many daily obligations right now, so I have plenty of time to give your dog the attention, exercise, and care they need, including regular walks, playtime, and companionship. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and loving environment where your dog will feel at home. I always supervise pets closely, whether we’re indoors or outside, and I make sure they are secure at all times. I follow any specific instructions you provide, including feeding schedules, medications, and routines. I’m patient, attentive, and committed to building trust with both you and your pet, so you can feel confident they’re in good hands.

About: I grew up with both dogs and cats, and caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs belonging to friends, family members, and clients—including dogs with anxiety, especially while their owners are traveling. Many of these dogs had previously stayed in large commercial boarding facilities where multiple dogs share the same space, which often increased their stress and anxiety. I’ve seen firsthand how much of a difference a calm home environment and personalized one-on-one attention can make. I am also certified in American Red Cross Cat and Dog First Aid, so I’m prepared to respond in case of an emergency and provide attentive care for your pets. I focus on patience, consistency, and gentle, loving care to help each dog feel safe, comfortable, and secure. With dedicated attention and companionship, I’ve watched anxious dogs gradually become more relaxed and confident—sometimes they even seem reluctant to leave! :) I’m home full-time to care for your pup. This means your dog will receive plenty of attention, regular walks, and consistent, loving care throughout the day. I have the time and flexibility to focus on your dog’s individual needs, ensuring they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for during their stay. I keep my schedule flexible, but I only care for one dog at a time to provide the best possible experience. Because of this, spots can fill quickly—especially during holidays—so please plan and book in advance. Located in a quiet, friendly neighborhood, my home is designed to provide comfort, security, and plenty of room for your dog to relax and play. Your pup will enjoy a park-like backyard—nearly half an acre—fully fenced for safe exploration and outdoor fun. Whether they love to run, sniff, or simply lounge in the sun, there’s plenty of space to feel at home. In the summer, I also set up a dog-friendly swimming pool so they can cool off and have some extra fun. I share my home with a very friendly 9-year-old Black Lab who is gentle, well-socialized, and enjoys calm companionship with other dogs. To ensure every dog gets the attention, care, and comfort they deserve, I typically host only one dog at a time (with a maximum of two during holidays). This allows me to focus on your dog’s individual needs and create a low-stress, personalized experience. Your dog will be treated like family here—safe, happy, and well cared for every step of the way.

About: I've been a pet owner my whole life. There was always a dog in my home when I was a child. Later on, in my own home had raised two dogs and a cat from their earliest days. My sweet Golden Retriever, Milo, was with me and my kids since he was 10 weeks old. He was amazing! Sadly after a year of being sick and fighting a good fight, it became too much for him. My kids & I said goodbye to him with many tears and such a heaviness in our hearts. It has been sad not seeing his happy face when I come home or unusual to not have to take him out for his nighttime walk. We miss him so much! I would love to be able to share my love that I had for him with the caring of another dog. I'm home during the day which allows me to have the time to devote to your dogs.i also have two teenage kids who are able to walk and play with him. I live on a quiet dead end street with hardly any cars coming through. I have a nice sized yard which is great for playing and taking in the suns rays(my dog would love to just roll his body over in the grass...lol). So I would being taking care of your precious baby boy/girl as if he/she was my own! I also will only take care of one dog at a time... so YOUR dog will have ALL my attention! I am a very easy going down to earth person.... I'd love to chat with you about your needs and concerns for your dog. Please let me know what I can do to help you ... Talk to you soon! Kathy

Lauren is the best dog walker we’ve ever had. She was punctual, flexible, a great communicator and just an overall pleasure to work with. She walked my 80 lb boxer regularly for a few months and I would book her again in a heart beat. Look no further for a better dog walker!
