“Melanie was great. We had Zoey for one week, and Melanie took great care of her, making sure that she adjusted very well. We will definitely use her service again. We had no problems with communicating, she sent picture updates, and we trusted her with our little puppy.”


About: I am a dog lover who has volunteered in the humane society, watched countless friends' dogs and adopted a dog of my own. Since my dog passed, I have been eager to help another owner look after their dog in any way I can! I specialize in Daily Dog Walking, Midday Potty Relief Visits while you're at work, Stay home with your pup, and I even provide leash training services for dogs who pull or have difficulty walking on a leash correctly. You know what your dog likes best and how your dog likes to live, so I am happy to abide by any rules and requirements to make sure your dog feels as happy, safe and as comfortable as possible. We are happy to help take care of your dog any time. My fiancé and I work different schedules so we can provide more service. Please feel free to tell me anything that you feel is important about your dog. Definitely any medical concerns, ideal schedule, food and walk preferences, and concerns about being around other dogs. I am currently working full time, but having my wife on this team helps us to always provide full service to our customers. We have different schedules, so we are always available to you. Being a team of 2 young adults with animal experience, we ensure your dogs' safety and security. We offer feeding, potty breaks, walking at least once a day and playing time.

About: When I was 7 years old I got my first puppy. His name was Jake, a baby lab. I trained him myself and raised him throughout his entire life. I have a natural affinity with animals. I am great at figuring out what my furry baby needs from me, I am also great at calming down irritable pups. My puppy passed 5 years ago due to health conditions and I instantly got two more. I now have two Australian shepherds who are very high energy and need a lot of love, play, and attention which I always provide top quality. I have also been relied on by friends and family countless times to take care of their puppies or all different kinds. Pictures of these beautifies can be found in my profile. I feed, walk, bathe, play, and much more with them, I know they always enjoy themselves and their owners are always greatfull and eager for me to watch them again. I have even taken care of peoples bunnies, reptiles, crustaceans, cats/kittens (I am allergic to cats so I am less likely to take them on). The dogs I have taken care of have been xs-xl sized so I can handle myself, even two animals at a time would be no problem. Currently, my schedule is very flexible as I am working with DoorDash where I get to schedule my own work times and days (based on the area and how busy it is). This allows me a lot of time to devote towards your furry baby! I work the most from 4-9:30pm on weekdays and weekends (primarily). Weekdays are more negotiable than weekends, as these are my only jobs currently. There will never be a time where I need to focus on both jobs simultaneously, any furry baby with me will have my undivided attention! My home is a very safe, clean, and organized environment. So, there will be no worry for any choking hazards, sharp objects, or hazardous foods/liquids in furry reach. That being said there is also a door that blocks off the kitchen area. If there is any specific housing instructions, I will cater to them to the best of my abilities!

Megan E.
“I've known Megan E. for a long time and one thing that defines Megan is "animal lover." She grew up with dogs and has loved dogs above all else. She has also had a lot of interaction with horses during her life. She has even cared for and studied more exotic animals (reptiles and baboons, for example). If you're looking for a caring, reliable, and dedicated pet sitter, you can't do better than Megan E.”


Julia D.
“I have known Julia for a while from a professional standpoint where she has always been respectful and caring of other. The same treatment is also brought over to the pet caring world. She has shared her fun experiences with the dogs she cares for and it appears that the pooches are having lots of fun as she takes them for long walks and provides plenty of loving attention to them. Some dogs have made a mess of themselves a few times while out in the fields, but she cleans them up to ensure they are in tip top shape.”
