About: I used to have two wonderful rescues who I miss every day, a lazy beagle and a rowdy coonhound. Since I've moved into my own home, I've wanted to get a dog, but my cat reacts poorly to all dogs regardless of shape or size. I've been a dogsitter before for neighbors and friends, for a variety of dogs from puppies to seniors, papillons to mastiffs. I've cared for dogs with specific dietary requirements, are deafblind, incontinent, and require oral/topical medication. I specialize in cuddling but also offer walkies, playtime, and potty breaks! I work full time in a hybrid environment with a flexible schedule. Due to the flexible hours, I'm available to walk or visit your dog anytime in the day, as long as it is arranged in advance so I can flex my schedule accordingly. Occasionally I will be unavailable due to personal or work events-- I will do my best to keep my calendar up to date. I can spend as much or as little time in your home as you are comfortable with! I also have experience with fish, reptiles, and birds, so if you have additional pets you'd like for me to check on I'm more than happy to. I like to spend a bit of time playing, petting, and cuddling, so the pups can get their energy out. I will not offer boarding, as I have a cat that does not tolerate dogs. However, if necessary, I could care for them in my home for a short time. I have a large yard with a tall wooden fence. Let me know if there are any special arrangements you may need, and I'll do my best to accomodate!

10. Alli B.
“I appreciated Alli’s help this week! She was prompt and a good communicator. Lolo really seemed to like her and she even practiced some of his skills with him during the walk. I will look forward to using her services again. :)”
11. Melinda B.
“Melinda is amazing and you'd be lucky to have her around your pets! I've known Melinda for several years and she is just the sweetest person. She's very honest and trustworthy and great with animals. My 9 great danes love her!”
12. Monica B.
“Monica has cared for my two dogs several times and has taken wonderful care of them. Monica has a true gift for connecting with dogs. I would highly recommend giving Monica an opportunity to show her expert care and loving nature the next time you are looking for professional dog sitter/walker.”
13. Kate J.

“Amanda is fantastic! We trust her completely, we can rely on her, she communicates well with us, and our dog is happy, safe, and healthy under her care. We are grateful for finding and working with her.”
17. Kortney D.
“I've known Kortney since she was a student in my Physics class. From the beginning, she exhibited great poise, confidence, and maturity. After she graduated from high school we had her house/pet sit for us. She always treated the animals with love and affection, and I think they hated to see her go whenever we returned home. She treated our animals like they were hers and we truly loved it when she could house/pet sit for us. She has my strongest recommendation for pet sitting for you, and I have no reservations whatsoever in providing that recommendation.”
