“Stephen was great! I felt safe right away letting him take my puppy for the first time. You can tell the people who can connect with pets and Stephen not only bonded with her quickly but seems very knowledgeable about pet care in general so was able to ask a few questions about Mara as well. So glad we found someone, I definitely recommend him to anyone in the area!”

About: I have had my Rottweiler (Chet) for 12 years and she is absolutely my favorite person. She is a part of my family and I tend to her the same way I do for my 4 year old son. She needs time to play, to exercise, to feel loved and appreciated. Making sure that her needs are being met is a top priority for me as I’m sure it is for you and your companion. I currently work at Farm Sanctuary where I also help care for farm animals. Animals are a passion of mine. I love taking Chet for walks and would love to be able to give you peace of mind knowing your dog is getting the attention and exercise that they need.

About: With 10+ years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, I have developed a strong understanding of their unique needs, personalities, and health requirements. I have successfully managed feeding schedules, grooming routines, and administered medications when necessary. My experience also includes providing companionship and stimulating playtime to ensure both physical and mental well-being. I am skilled in recognizing signs of illness or discomfort, and I am quick to respond to any medical or emergency situations. Growing up with multiple dogs, cats and horses, I understand the importance of creating a safe and comfortable environment. In my family, pets ARE family and at holiday gatherings pets frequently outnumber people! Whether it’s walking or cuddling, I am committed to making your pet feel as loved as all of ours! I am working as a nursing assistant whenever I pick up. I have plenty of time take care of animals, either to babysit them or just a visit. I live on an acre lot on a quiet, dead end street. Woods in the back and trails behind that to walk on for miles. I have a friendly 12 year old dog who loves to keep company to other pups.

Big dogs, small dogs, medically needy dogs and puppies. I have experience with them all I am available throughout the day every day.

I am also very flexible and willing to work with you on times you prefer! I have a long walking path I use, but of course will deliver the service where it is requested!

Elizabeth R.
“Elizabeth has been responsible for taking care of my dog Penny. She always went above and beyond to ensure that my pet was happy and safe while in her care. She would take her on walks, feed, and play with her. Elizabeth was always sure to ask if I wanted any specific accommodations on that specific day for Penny, and was happy to implement them into my dogs time with her. Overall, I cannot recommend Elizabeth enough to care for your pets, she will always be my first choice for a pet caregiver”
Chloe A.
“Chloe is amazing at caring for herself and her pets, and is so gentle with other's pets. She is a pet lover through and through and spoils every pet she comes across with as much as she can. When she first met my cat, I warned her he didn't like strangers and would probably run away as soon as he sniffed her. Instead, he warmed right up to her. Chloe is also great at managing stressful situations and has been there for me countless times. She makes sure she has everything figured out and a solution for any situation that can go awry. She is a problem-solver, fierce, and full of love. I believe that she's great for taking care of your pets 100%!!”
