About: With years of professional dog walking and sitting experience, I’ve cared for all manner of canines. I can handle puppies as well as senior citizens and love spending time with them giving love and getting exercise. I work from home with a flexible schedule so am able to leave periodically throughout the day to care for pets. Please be aware prior to booking that my daughter (10 months old as of April 2025) comes with me on my walks and drop ins. She rides in a backpack carrier and does not come out of it, but only request a booking with me if you and your pet and comfortable with that. I have been entrusted with clients’ homes for years and am confident and able to abide by your requests and needs. I act with respect when allowed access to a client’s home and take care to honor their wishes regarding their animals and household.
“Jennifer walked Chloe for the first time and she was great as usual. Chloe seemed so happy after her walk and now she’s napping after they ran the whole time. Can’t thank Jennifer enough for being so great to Chloe and Olivia.”
“She is very quick to respond and very kind. I feel very comfortable speaking and having her come by to walk me dog. Also very professional! She comes ready to take care of the pup and happy to answer any questions or concerns. No doubt in my mind that she’s a good fit for any dog out there!”
“Robin has been so wonderful with my furry kid. She has treated her like one of her own. Robin is reliable, dependable, and responsible. Most of all Robin is a nice, kind, caring, loving person. I always felt comfortable and at ease knowing Robin would be there taking care of my girl.”
About: We have two dogs ourselves, both with special attention needed. Whether your pet has allergies, people shyness, behavior issues and more, we have grown accustomed to that and realize that all animals deserve the same love, and we plan to provide that. We have experience with senior dogs, medications needing to be given on a schedule, bathing, playing, and lots of options for toys and treats. All that said, no need is too large as your pet deserves the same level of care as you would give to your family, because they are your family. When you go on vacation, your dog should get their own vacation as well! We both grew up around dogs from a very young age and have enjoyed the companionship of other animal types as well, from fish, hamsters, guinea pigs, and more. Pet care is our daily routine. We both are blessed enough to be home throughout the entirety of the day whether that be working from home or being lucky enough to help make the home. We purposefully installed a fence for our house so that our dogs could run around and play, so your pet will get that exact same treatment. We have a quiet secluded neighborhood with lots of walking room and places to sniff, and seat protectors in the cars for on the go if your dog likes to see the world. Pup cups, dog parks, new places are all within reason.

She has administered medication to our pup on multiple occasions as well and I would absolutely trust her to care for any animal as she is an animal lover and has a dog and cat of her own! I will be using Kelley as our sitter again in the future, she’s the only one I’d trust to care for our aging pup while we’re away! Absolutely recommend!”

We love Jabrae!! She did a meet and greet with us before the visit so we all felt comfortable. She was fantastic with communication with setting up the visit and same-day with how my dog was doing!! My dog was in such great hands!! We will definitely be using her again!
I recently had the pleasure of using Brittney as a dog sitter, and I couldn’t be more impressed! From the moment I met her it was clear that she genuinely love animals and is extremely responsible. She took the time to get to know my dog’s personality and routine, ensuring that everything would be familiar and comfortable while I was away. Throughout the time I was gone, Brittney provided regular updates with photos and messages, which gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was in such good hands. I must admit I was a little hesitant after Susan’s review but after the amazing service I received i believe that is simply just a Karen trying to ruin this wonderful woman’s reputation. I’ll definitely be using Brittney’s service again and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a top-notch sitter.
