“Grace was wonderful! I needed someone to walk my dogs last minute after a different arrangement fell through and Grace was able to do so. She is clearly very responsible and the dogs loved her. I’m sure we’ll be using her services again!”


About: I have experience of maintaining safe and clean environments for dogs within doggy daycare settings! I am comfortable with any breed and size of dog. I have experience with dog walking, redirecting behaviors, and bathing. As a dog and animal lover I have a few fur babies myself! I have a Pembroke welsh corgi puppy Finn that is friendly with all animals, a tortie cat Ginnie that also gets along with any animal-Me and my fiancée Kris just adopted the sweetest 3 year old husky Daisy, as she is in her adjusting period of our home (and us) I will have her separate from any possible boarders and withhold involvement in meet and greets. My parents have their golden retriever Bodie who lives within our home but separately! I have always had a passion for working and being with animals and would love to continue by taking care of animals in my daily routine I always make sure to be home to have enough time for my animals as they are my top priority and I would strive to do the same for yours. I am fortunate enough to always have someone home with the pups-as my fiancée Kris and parents live with me as well. ⭐️ Returning customers or new- I appreciate you putting trust into me with your pet(s). Being a pet mom myself i understand how important your fur babies mean to you. I appreciate your support and kindness and all of the kind reviews⭐️ Pets in my home co exist. Both of my dogs are crate trained and they sleep in there at night or when I am out of the house. I am comfortable having animals in my animals space or them having their own space. I have a separate area if needed for separation during feeding or for resting time. Back yard is fenced in and has plenty of space for walks and off leash play time and potty breaks (please see attached photos in profile of yard).

“Jacquelyn was incredibly kind and a wonderful source of support for our two pups Peaches and Blue when our work schedules got busy! She is very responsive and took great care of our high energy fur babies. I would reccommend her for all your pet needs! :)”


“I cannot stress enough how above and beyond Kaitlyn goes! Unfortunately she was only able to walk my Zeus for one day before we found out he had a brain tumor. Without knowing this, Kaitlyn arrived early for his walk, spent extra time with him after his walk, and was incredibly communicative. She even interacted with my neighbors who love Zeus and updated me when he got a treat from them. I’m so happy she gave him such a great day before all of this happened. It’s obvious she’s dedicated and truly cares for the animals she sits for!”


“Gilisa was awesome! Very punctual, flexible, friendly, and great communication. I received at least one photo of my dog every walk. Luna was tired at the end of their hour walks! Would highly recommend!”


About: I’ve been passionate about animals my whole life and can frequently be found with the hosts’ pets at most get togethers. My experience has been with numerous dog breeds from chihuahuas and rat terriers to pitties, Rottweilers, and German Shepherds, and I’m currently “mom” to a 7 year old rescue GSD named Maddie. I’m happy to help out whether it’s with potty breaks and playtime, a walk around the neighborhood, check ins for food and cuddles or whatever else your fur baby may need. I’m currently home full time, so I’m more than happy to stop in for a morning check in or walk with your babies (8-11am), afternoon potty break (12-2pm), or dinner (5-7pm). While caring for your pets in your home I like to follow their norm as closely as possible. If there are certain routines you normally follow (ex: they always get a cookie after they go potty), preferred routes your dogs like to take on walks or specific quirks your pets have, please let me know an I will follow them to the best of my ability.

About: I’ve always had a place in my heart for animals and have been volunteering at shelters for over 3 years! I’m not just here to feed and walk, I build trust. I take the time to approach each animal with patience, adapting to their comfort and energy level. Whether it’s a high energy puppy who needs an adventure or a shy cat who just wants quiet companionship, I tune in and make sure their needs are met with love and respect. I am a special education teacher with the summer off! I’m totally flexible right now, once school is back in session I will have evenings and weekends available. Trust is everything! To build a trusting relationship I’m communicative, reliable, and happy to provide updates and photos during each visit so you can feel connected and confident while you’re away. Whether it’s a quick drop in or a longer stay, I am always tidy, respectful, and focused on creating a calm, happy environment for your pet!

“Abby was great for two early morning walks with my old boy. The weather was not great but he seemed really happy anyway. Abby was also super punctual which was impressive so early in the morning. Ty Abby!”
