“Alison was very responsive, easy to coordinate and wonderful with our sweet pup. Highly recommend!”
“Murphy is a high energy, sometimes overwhelming rescue. Callie worked with him over several visits to increase his flexibility to his surroundings and teach him behavior that will help him see more of the world. Even though exercise was more the mission than behavior training, Callie was able to convey calm discipline that allowed him to tap into other training he's had. It was a great job on Callie's part connecting and teaching him. Thank you from me and Murphy!!”
“Chandler is a caregiver and it shines through with the care she gave my mini schnauzer. He (King)…of the castle, can be a handful as other dogs pass along his walks (twice daily) but not with Chandler. Chandler had him charmed and behaving to please her-right away. Always on time and pleased to see King, I would highly recommend Chandler for the care of your beloved pet. King was always glad to see her!”
About: I’ve helped my baby through a hard battle with an autoimmune disorder. I’m capable of anything at this point. Especially, loving on pups that need their caretaker to go the extra mile. I’m able to drop in around lunch and/or house sit most every evening. I can especially help travelers that want to bring their dog on vacation but don’t want to have to do all the less fun activities for their pets. I’ll do whatever it asked of me while respecting your home, your loved fur baby, your money and your time. I truly do have your back.
About: I have been house and dog sitting since I was 18 years old and absolutely love it. It started with my neighbors dog that was like my own and took off from there. I have experience with puppies, distributing medication, and even 3 legged dogs! I have experience with house sitting for extended periods of time and having the opportunity to love on and take care of dogs during that time. I am a school teacher. I am available and flexible for walks, playtime, or house sitting most weekends and I am available for late afternoon/evening walks during the week. I am active and love to take dogs out for walks or to socialize. I understand that your dogs are apart of your family and I plan to treat them like my own. I take pride in getting the privilege to love and care for your fur babies.
“Vacationing. Wanted to do a 50 mile bike event. Jessica came to our house twice. I came home to a tired dog. No walk needed and I was tired. A tired dog is a good dog. Thank you Jessica.”
About: I love animals, especially dogs, more than words can express! We have always had small dogs in our family since I was born. I could never imagine living without a dog in my household. In fact I have always had my miniature schnauzers as my fur babies since my early 20’s. I also use my endless dog walks as another form of exercise especially with the awesome beach roads all over the island that we are fortunate to enjoy living on the island. Since I never had children I have extremely spoiled animals. Me and my husband are retired and I work a very part time job so have a lot of flexibility with my schedule. My husband may also like to join in with my walks as well to help keep your pooch entertained and continue with our daily exercise regimen. If your pet does not do well on long walks please mention that so we don’t wear them out too much! I would like to walk your dog on the beach or beach access if allowed. If you would rather we stay on the neighborhood streets that’s fine too! My house/pet sitting service will include feeding, playing, walking, cleaning up pet waste in yard or litter box and light housekeeping such as vacuuming up pet fur if applicable. I have a very flexible schedule. I do work a few days a week part time but only 4-5 hr shifts at a time. I would love to be your pet’s next best friend! I am an extremely anal retentive pet owner and home owner. I probably take better care of my pets than my own self! We do not miss any yearly vet appointments and are very attentive to any ailments that may come along. I always say the worst part of being a pet owner is when they have to cross the rainbow bridge.
“Emma was very prompt and friendly. She met up with me and my pup before the initial walk. Emma sent updates and pictures and put my mind at ease while at work. Will be using her again!”

Sarah L.
“Hi. Sarah “Grace” as we call her, is an amazing care giver to all animals. She grew up having all the small animals one has in their household. Examples are cats, dogs, rabbits, hamsters, and birds. In our home she was the main care giver and instigator of all our animals. She has great compassion and love for them. All of our neighbors called on her to take care of their pets while they were away. Once she got a car all of her friends parents and our friends had her all over town taking care of their animals. She would even bring some of the animals home for a week at a time to take care of them. She is dependable and loving and I highly recommend her.”
