About: I love animals big and small, and grew up with seven lovable dogs! I’ve been watching animals since I was 18, and one of my favorite things to do is go on walks and hikes. I am respectful, energetic, and passionate about what I do. I currently have a very open schedule for the time being! Availability on the weekends and the weekdays, so whatever is best for you works for me. I currently live in an apartment, so unfortunately I would be unable to have any dogs stay with me, but other than that…. Def able to provide them with care in general tho.
“Wonderful dog walkers. Pat was critical to helping me successfully interview for a job (including full days of Zoom) without whiny dogs in the background and was highly responsive and flexible in scheduling. We are looking forward to boarding our dogs with them and only wish they had greater availability (but of course, top dog walkers/boarders are busy!).”

“Kaylee walked my dog daily while I was on vacation. She was prompt, professional and gave my dog a little extra TLC every day. She sent pictures and daily updates. I would definitely recommend Kaylee!”
