“Bree has been great with Mochi! She is on time, communicative, and patient- learning to use Mochi's e-collar and dominant dog collar. She is also understanding of my anxiety around Mo's selective aggression in our extremely dog-friendly apartment complex. She is super vigilant about other dogs, and attentive to environmental risks on walks. Her attentiveness puts me at ease, and I would recommend her without reservation.”

About: From age 9 to 23, I was blessed with taking care of my beloved golden retriever, Lucky, from puppy training through senior care. I gained experience with crate training, house training, countless walks, and managing various health conditions. Lucky tore his cranial cruciate ligament at the age of 8, and, instead of surgery, we had great success with physical therapy (very cute, with many carrots and treats involved!). In his final year, Lucky had cancer, prompting me to take him to various specialists, including a veterinary acupuncturist/herbalist. I diligently managed his medications, monitored his food/water intake, and ended up cooking organic meals for him. I will treat your beloved pet with the same love and care as I gave to Lucky. My work schedule is flexible, so I can meet your pet's needs throughout the week and on Sundays. I'm generally available from 10 a.m. through the evening. I come prepared. I start by meeting with clients to understand your pet's needs and any specific requests you may have, taking thorough notes. When I walk dogs, I always take water, a collapsible bowl, treats, and emergency contact info. When I dog sit, I regularly play with the dog, especially with any favorite toys, to make sure they feel as comfortable as possible while you're away.

About: I recently had to say goodbye to my own dog, who was my daily walking buddy and constant sidekick. Getting back to dog care is a way for me to stay connected to that part of my life. I genuinely enjoy being around dogs and know how important it is to find someone you trust when you’re away. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments—from high-energy pups to older dogs who need a gentler pace. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, medications, basic training reinforcement, or just giving your dog the attention they need while you’re out. I’m reliable, communicative, and treat every dog like they’re my own. Whether it’s regular walks, check-ins, or some extra company for your pup while you’re gone, I’ve got it covered. I’m currently working part time from home as a consultant. So my schedule is very flexible. I can be available throughout the day as needed. I have a fenced yard and plenty of space for your pup to roam. I have a reliable car and am available to bring dogs to my house if needed.
About: Hi my name is Katie! I am a high school teacher currently off for summer vacation! I am looking to fill some of my off days with some animal time!! I have been helping friends and family with their pet care for the past 6 years. I have experience walking dogs, doing drop ins (for cats and dogs!), and have done many overnight stays. I am incredibly responsible and reliable. I am known for being early to everything, and if anything ever comes up, I will give notice with reasonable time for you to make alternate arrangements. I love dogs and would love to walk and play with yours! I prefer dogs that are small to medium sized because I have had the most experience with them. I know that dogs are family, and it is my goal to provide the best care for your family, while also making your busy life a little bit easier! I am currently on summer break, so I am available during the day on weekdays! With enough advance notice, I am also available to help on the weekends. I normally care for pets in their owners homes. I find they are most comfortable there! I can complete water and food fill ups during drop ins, clean up after pets if necessary, and any other services requested by the owner.

“Steve has been taking care of dogs in our family for many years, we love him! He’s very calm and gentle with our dogs, we have two mini dachshunds that he is great with. He spends time outside with them, running them around and playing games and seems to genuinely enjoy it. He makes sure they’ve done their business before bringing them back in. We have a ring camera, so we can see that he arrives on time and spends adequate time with them before leaving. We highly recommend him to friends and family.”

“My dog Pepper gets along great with Sarah. Being friends with Sarah the last ten years I knew she grew up with a Labrador but was taken back at how well she handled Pepper who is half pit bull and gets quite excitable. Sarah has watched Pepper a few times for me and always does an excellent job. I believe Sarah's genuinely friendly and patient personality quickly wins over dog's respect and friendship.”
