But Emily is awesome with my skittish little cat and the pictures show me that Winnie is doing really well- eating, drinking water, enjoying getting brushed!

About: I currently am going to school for Ecology and Conservation Biology with an emphasis on animal behavior. I have 10+ years of pet care experience and specifically, with dogs of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments. I have a 6 year old Rottweiler and two cats currently, but also grew up with cats, a Dachshund, and other breeds of dogs. I raised and trained my dog from a puppy and I would work on skills with younger dogs or any dogs in need of training reinforcement at the owners request! Note: I am moving out of the area in September! I am generally available in the afternoons after 3pm on most weekdays, pending work tempo. If our dogs get along, would love to bring my pup along for a walk as well. Weekends I am generally open unless something is already planned! I unfortunately don’t have the space to accommodate more than my own dog at my home. However, drop-in visits and walks will always be tailored to your dogs needs.
“Katie is a true animal person. She is very responsible and caring to your pet. I highly recommend her for pet sitting. She does a great job and your pets will love her too.”
“Dejah took excellent care of our two cats. She was very communicative and always responded quickly to messages. She provided great updates each day and clearly cared for our cats as if they were her own. We will happily ask Dejah to look after our cats in future.”
“It feels great knowing that Ava had my cats in excellent hands while I was away. She is very accommodating, caring, and knowledgeable. Would certainly seek her help again!”
About: I love animals and have hands-on experience walking, feeding, and caring for dogs. I’m dependable, gentle, and treat every pup like my very own ! I’m currently a student, and on the days I don’t have classes—Tuesday’s, Thursday’s ,and Sundays—I have full flexibility to spend quality time with your pup. Whether it’s going for walks, playing, or giving them some extra love and attention, I’m happy to help on the days I’m class-free. Your dog’s happiness and well-being are always my top priority! As a dedicated pet caregiver, I prioritize both safety and comfort while caring for your pets in their home. I ensure the environment is safe by keeping hazardous items out of reach and securing gates or doors to prevent escapes. I stick to your pet’s routine, providing regular meals, walks, playtime, and companionship to maintain a sense of normalcy. Whether it’s administering medication, offering extra love, or just being there for your pet, I strive to create a calm and secure atmosphere. I also keep you updated with regular check-ins, photos, and messages to ensure peace of mind while you’re away.

Haley G.
“It is with great pleasure that I write this testimonial for Haley, who has been an absolute blessing to our family as a dog walker and caregiver. She takes care of our Labradoodle, Roman, and we couldn’t ask for someone more loving, dependable, and attentive. From the very beginning, Haley formed a special bond with Roman. He lights up every time she comes to the door, and it’s clear that he feels safe, happy, and deeply cared for in her presence. Haley is incredibly responsible—always on time, communicative, and thoughtful about Roman’s routines and preferences. Whether it’s a long, energetic walk, a game of fetch, or just a quiet moment of companionship, she meets him right where he is with patience and joy. As dog owners, we consider Roman a member of our family, and it means the world to us to know he’s in such capable and compassionate hands. Haley doesn’t just walk dogs—she builds trust, brings peace of mind, and becomes part of your pet’s extended family. Anyone would be lucky to have her care for their dog as she has cared for ours.”

Olga D.
“Hello, I met Olga like 8 years ago when she was waking her senior dog. At that time, I was with my puppy doggi. I saw her how she mange her time with him. They made a decent distance of walk, then they stopped during water and go again. So, approached to her asking if she would be available to stay with my puppy for next weekend. She agreed. So, she came over to my home and stayed with him a whole weekend. My neighbor told me that they spent a wonderful time playing, running and kissing. I have never meet a similar person who is so attached to animals. It is wonderful! I recommend her from the button of my heart.”
