We had a meet and greet a couple weeks before our trip and we felt very comfortable leaving our pomeranian Steel with Patty. She had a lot of good reviews and repeat pet parents also which drew us to her. We could tell from the pictures and updates she sent us throughout the week that he was having a great vacation at her house! Her house was comfortable for him and we would recommend her and also have her petsit again in the future!

Judy is AMAZING! I felt so comfortable leaving my baby with her, she sent me pictures and videos and updates and I will send Tyson to her every time I need a sitter! I knew she loved my boy just as much as me the second I left her house after dropping him off.

Patty is the best! She took such good care of Dexter while we were gone for 9 days. Everyday we received many pictures of Dexter- walking, swimming, hanging with his friends and even doing some artwork! It was such a relief to me knowing that Dexter was in good hands. He had so much fun but most of all, he was loved and cared for with lots of tender loving care! Thank you, Patty, for going that extra step with Dexter.

About: I have been working with animals since I was a young kid. My love though is dogs… especially older dogs! I have been a rescuer, foster, and dog owner for as long as I can remember. I am a volunteer at the local animal shelter as a dog walker. I am here to make sure your pet is taken care of safely. I work from home, but can make my schedule work. Its very flexible. Monday-Friday anywhere between 830am and 3:30pm. Last minute appointments are okay too. I rescued my 5-year-old Pit Mix last year from a reputable rescue. He is living his best life going on daily walks, belly rubs, and tons of kisses.

About: My passion in life is spending time with dogs! Whether it’s swimming, hiking, or a simple stroll, I’m an active and caring pet owner who truly enjoys taking care of furry friends. For social pups, my dog Theo—who is fully up to date on vaccinations—would love to join for a play session. Or, if your pet prefers a solo outing, we can keep it to a relaxing walk tailored to their needs. With the season in full swing, let me take care of your dog so you can enjoy peace of mind, knowing they’re in loving hands! Caring for pets is a natural part of my daily routine! As an active dog owner, I incorporate walks, playtime, and outdoor adventures into my schedule. Whether it’s a morning stroll, an afternoon hike, or an evening cuddle session, I make sure every pet gets the attention and care they deserve. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. I provide a secure and loving environment where dogs feel comfortable and happy. Whether on a walk or during playtime, I ensure they are always supervised, cared for, and treated like family.

Robert is great with pets. I have two pit bulls who he will walk all day long. Take them to the beach, the dog park, around the block. My dogs are always happy and excited to see him when he comes over. The walks he takes them on are longer than a quick walk. He takes his time, and lets them explore. At the house he sit with them cuddle next to him and he gives them all his attention. I could be happier to have Robert there when I need him.

I can’t think of anyone more perfect for the job than Kell. She is truly one of the most caring and compassionate people I’ve ever known, and her love for animals, especially dogs is unmatched. Kell treats every animal as if it were her own. I’ve seen her go out of her way to make sure pets are safe, happy, and well cared for. And for someone who has been working with dogs for most of her life, she is more knowledgeable about their wants and needs than anyone I know. If you're looking for someone who will care for your dog with the same love and dedication you would, Kell is the one!
