“Talitha was wonderful! We booked her for four consecutive days of walking and she took great care of our pup! She was thorough with contact and documenting his walks and sending plenty of pictures. We are so appreciative of her!”


About: Ive taken care of dogs and cats my whole life, I come from a big family of animal lovers, I have experience with feeding, walking, bathing, playtime, boarding, grooming and nail trimming. Im a fur baby momma to 3 handsome, well behaved, sweet boys who are my world. Im in vet assistant school. My biggest dream is to open up my own non kill animal rescue. I have such a big heart for all animals. I keep a bag of cat food in my car to feed all the stray kitties. Ive worked in doggy day care centers, and have fostering experience with the local animal shelter. Just know when youre away on vacation all your fur babies with be showered with love and affection and they will be treated as if they were my own. Im currently a stay at home momma, so your babies will have 24/7 love and attention, lots of play time, potty breaks, and walks. 🥰 I have 2 friendly cats, and a very calm, relaxed 1 year old dog who loves all other animals, and has done many temperament tests with other dog babies where I was working previously. I typically feed 2 times a day or per family request. I have given medications, and am trained in pet cpr/first aid for all cats and dogs. Im also a certified nursing assistant. So I have a lot of experience in the healthcare field as well. I have crates of all sizes if needed for your baby. I have experience with training and potty training as well.

About: I’ve been around pets my entire life, mostly dogs. I’ve owned my own dogs since I was 12, and I currently own a German shepherd and a Coton De Tulear. I consider myself a true animal enthusiast and I believe that caring for them is more than a chore, but something you need to be passionate about to give them the best care they deserve. I’m returning to college to pursue a career in veterinary medicine and I’d love to not only give your pets the care they deserve, but to add to my experience for the furbabies in the future! Caring for pets in my clients home will all depend on what I have access to. I am more than comfortable with taking dogs outside/on walks, crating them, and feeding/treating them.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life. I never had a pet of my own until I met my former partner and he had a deaf Australian Shepard and I fell in love with her. A year after that we rescued a mix and named him Archer and he is the most loyal, loving dog I’ve ever met. I’ve also helped take care of my sisters mini poodle on and off for about 3 years so have experience with big and small dogs as well as deaf dogs. I work full time currently Monday through Friday but pet care would be something I can do in the evenings and weekends, while also spending time with my own dog. I have plenty of paths and places to walk dogs near my home and my complex has a dog park to play and use the bathroom

I request that my clients leave a detailed list of feeding times, medication schedules, favorite toys, pets habits, list of phone numbers like their vets office, etc, as well as pets likes and dislikes so I can be sure all pets feel as comfortable as possible while in my care.

We are learning hand signals for training. He is very friendly and loves to make new friends.

Therefore, your pup will be able to come to work with me! I will love your baby as if it was my own. Dogs will always be leashed outside. They are allowed on furniture here and are welcome to snuggle anytime! But if you have different rules , please tell me so I can abide by them.
