“Lisa is great! Good communicator. Takes very good care of my Chico.”


“Jessica has been walking Axel for over a year now and she’s just exceptional. Always reliable, trustworthy, and so so accommodating, even to my multiple last minute requests. And of course Axel loves her!!! Thank you Jessica!!”


About: We have been around so many animals since we were little girls (dogs, cats, bunnies, lizards, snakes, hamsters, fish, … the list goes on lol), but dogs are the pet we’re most familiar with. We have always helped out with walking/taking care of dogs since we grew up with almost all our friends and family having dogs. They’re family :) We are available anytime (Tuesdays through Saturday) during the summer! We will be starting a Dental Assisting Program in September so our schedule will be tighter by then. For now, we can do daily/weekly (with the exceptions of Mondays and Sundays) :) We will always make sure the dog is comfortable and at ease in its environment. Whether thats outside being walked or even inside when they are getting to know us. It is important to have a mutual trust.

“Taurla was super helpful on short notice! She communicated clearly & left detail report cards with pictures, which I love! I will definitely rebook soon.”


“Shawn is awesome. He met Nala beforehand and she immediately liked him. Shawn is always on time and takes good care on my Nala during the walks.”


“Katie was great with our pup and we will be booking her again in the future! She is flexible with our crazy schedule and didn’t let a little rain stop her from coming to walk him! We appreciate her loving our guy as much as we do!”


“Flaca had so much fun with Stephanie on her walk. Stephanie made sure to accommodate the walk according to Flaca’s needs. A fun combination of exercise, hanging out by the shade, and playing with pinecones! Stephanie kept me updated with pictures and asked me questions about how best to take care and walk Flaca. Flaca is very excited to walk with her every week!”


About: A great pet sitter is like a second best friend to your furry family member. I want to radiate warmth and patience, understanding each tail wag. I’m not just there to feed and walk your dog, i’m there to bond, to give belly rubs, and to ensure your pup feels loved and secure while you're away. It's the peace of mind every dog lover seeks when entrusting their beloved companion to someone else's care. I’m currently working part time and going to school. Although I still have lots of time to spend with my pomsky at home! I feel like it's a mix of feeding, playing, walking, and lots of cuddling going on at my home. My pomsky can be very demanding at times but I do everything I can to make him the happiest he can be! First off I’ll treat any dog with lots of love and care , whether it’s my own furry friend or someone else’s. What I do to be a good pet owner is to care for my furry friend by providing them with proper nutrition, regular exercise, and lots of love and attention. I always make sure all pets have a safe and comfortable living environment, with access to fresh water and a cozy place to sleep. I’ll also prioritize regular veterinary check-ups and vaccinations to keep my personal pets healthy. Additionally, as a pet owner i’ll engage in mental stimulation activities, such as interactive toys or training sessions, to keep my pets mentally sharp and happy. Ultimately, it's all about creating a loving and nurturing environment where all pets can thrive! 🐾❤️
