“Andrea did such a wonderful job taking care of our boy while we were away! Thank you so much and we know Murphy loved going on those walks with you!”
About: I have been around animals my whole life. I believe its important to treat them well and with respect. I know how important it is for pets to be cared for while we're away Im available most mornings and evenings. I am currently available during the day as well. I take my own dog for walks every morning and evening as well. I can come and provide the animals food, fresh water and play with them if they are in the mood for that. In the case of dogs I'm happy to let them outside or go on a walk with them. I can play with them and make sure they are exercised.
About: I’ve got a big Doberman and a goofy American Staffy of my own, so I’m super comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’ve taken care of everything from little lap dogs to big, reactive pups—and I truly get them! I treat every dog like my own, with love, patience, all of the attention! Pet care fits into my routine easily since I have a flexible schedule. I’m available on short notice and can give your pup the attention and care they need throughout the day—whether it’s for walks, feedings, or just company. In my home, pets enjoy a calm, cozy space with lots of love and attention. I have a large yard, and while it’s not fenced, I always keep dogs safely leashed outside unless otherwise requested. I don’t use crates at the moment, but I make sure each dog has a comfy spot to relax and feel secure. In a client’s home, I follow their routine closely—whether that’s feeding schedules, walk times, or specific habits. I’m respectful, reliable, and always focused on keeping pets happy and stress-free while you’re away.
“Mary and her husband, Derek, were fantastic! They followed our instructions for finicky locks and a finicky feeding routine - followed by plenty of snuggles and a nice walk. We will definitely be booking with Mary again!”
“I was lucky to find this wonderful family right before heading out on vacation, and I couldn’t be more grateful. From the very start, communication was clear, prompt, and professional. They were reliable and stuck to the agreed schedule, which I truly appreciated. My dog a 5 month old Standard Poodle who’s a giant ball of mischief connected with them right away. It’s clear they have tons of experience and, most importantly, a genuine love for animals. I had originally booked someone else who canceled last minute with a silly excuse… but honestly, I’m glad it happened because it led me to the right people. They deserve all the stars. Highly recommend!”
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up on a farm with horses, dogs, goats, chickens, and cats, which taught me how to care for animals of all sizes and personalities. I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life, and I’m experienced with everything from energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets who need extra patience and gentle care. What really sets me apart is my experience working with anxious, shy, and rescue animals. I take the time to read their body language, earn their trust, and create a calm, reassuring environment. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, or quiet companionship, I tailor my care to each pet’s unique needs — treating them like part of my own family. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. I already care for my own dogs and have a flexible schedule that allows me to fit in walks, playtime, feeding, and check-ins throughout the day. Whether it’s early mornings, midday visits, or evening care, I enjoy making time for animals — it’s something that brings me joy and fits seamlessly into my routine every week. In a client’s home, I follow your pet’s normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I handle feeding, walks or litter box care, playtime, medication if needed, and lots of affection. I also send regular updates and photos so you know your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

I currently work full time Monday through Thursday in the human services field as a case manager. My schedule is flexible and I am available every weekend. I currently have two cats who are my best friends. I have grown up around dogs and have dog sat for many years for friends and family. Walking and pop ins are the best part of my day.
About: I have had pets my entire life and enjoy being with animals - they make me happy and I in turn do the same for them I am currently retired and now enjoy time assisting others with pet care and child care as well as house sitting, cleaning and doing errands I am not allowed to have dogs in my home now that I am living in a condo but can most certainly in your home
About: I’ve had dogs since I was 12 yrs old there’s nothing I love more than taking care of dogs and making sure there happy and need everything they deserve, I’ve taken care from puppy to senior dogs. Til this day I make time for animals I have 4 days off out of the week and I would love to help out those who need genuine care for there dogs I always make sure my dogs are on a leash, making sure there’s no wild animals out in the yard before I take them out, if I’m walking your dog and I see another dog coming I put myself to the side holding the dog close enough in where the other dog don’t get near us.
About: I’ve been around dogs since I was little and have been tasked with letting them out and going on walks since I was 10. I have been helping a family member with their dog for 2 years so I have experience taking care of dogs that aren’t my own. I’m not currently employed. I can work any day of the week including weekends. I’d prefer morning and mid days rather than nights, but if I need to I will. I don’t have any pets of my own but I take care of my aunts dog when they need it. I let her out in their fenced backyard and sometimes take her on walks. I also take my boyfriend’s dog on walks when he can’t. I walk him because their isn’t a backyard, but there is a park near by we like to walk to.
About: I'm an avid animal lover, and have been involved in rescue for more than 14 years. I currently have 2 dogs of my own, Adabelle, an American Eskimo who is 12 and has been with me since she was 10 weeks old, and Minnie, an 13 yr old rescued LH Chihuahua/Pug mix. She was formerly a doggy client that I took care of until her Mom needed to rehome her. I jumped at the chance to add her to my family. I absolutely adore her. My own fur kids are used to all the doggy clients that come throughout the year. They get along with everyone. My home is very pet friendly. It's perfect for your pup(s) to lounge and/or play in while you are away. The yard is completely fenced in and the front & back yards are separated on both sides of the house by secure gates. Every day your dog is here he/she will get lots of outside exercise and play. Outdoor time is never unattended - I feel very strongly that it's my responsibility to ensure my pups' safety as well as any in my care. Dogs & cats are truly my passion - and I love taking care of them! I am a full time dog sitter and am home 99.9% of the time. So I'll be able to spend a lot of quality time with all of the dogs in my care. Each & every doggy client gets individual attention from me many times throughout their stay, including belly rubs, brushings (if they're ok with being brushed, if not we can play with toys give belly rubs, etc) I have a variety of dog beds throughout the house so everyone gets one, or if they prefer and pawrents approve, they can lie on the couch, ottoman or recliner.

“I have a very large German Shepherd, Bear, and it was hard to find someone to help walk him after I broke my leg. He used to pull and wasn’t the best on a leash, but Alicia jumped right in and worked with him. Now he’s a great walker! She even brings yummy treats that Bear absolutely loves. I’m so grateful for her help and patience — Bear adores her!”
