About: I’ve taken care of my personal dogs as well as friends and family dogs for years now. I am experienced with dogs of all sizes, as well as all personalities. I am familiar with low energy and high energy breeds, and know how to cater to each of them. I also specialize in dogs that have anxiety as well as reactivity, and know how to monitor their behavior and understand them in a way that most humans and other animals do not. I currently work full time, Monday-Friday so all animals would need to be able to be home alone for around 8-9 hours during the weekdays. My current hours are 6:30am-3pm, so I make a point to be available in the morning before I leave for work, and then after I return from work. This also applies to drop-ins. I make a point to be fully available on weekends since I am away often during the weekdays, but am also home early enough during the week that I can spend the afternoon, evening, and night with your furry little ones. I will care for your pets by following the owners’ and pets’ needs, I never stray from instructions. I will ensure safety precautions are always taken, as your animals safety is my highest priority.
“My husband and I knew upon meeting Tara for the first time that she was the perfect fit with our cat, Charlie. Charlie is very shy and usually hides when people come to visit. However, this was not the case when Tara entered our home. Tara did a top-notch job taking care of Charlie during her drop in visits over a period of one month. We were so happy when she sent up pictures and updates. Tara is reliable, kind, professional, and a true animal lover. Cats can be messy with the litter, etc. But with Tara on the job, we came home to a very neat home and well-fed, content cat. We will definitely seek Tara services again. Furthermore, we highly recommend her. Thanks a million, Tara.”
“We're so glad we were able to book Kristy and Chris to do drop-ins for our cat while we were on vacation over the weekend. Kristy and Chris were extremely professional and took detailed notes on the instructions to care for Pemi. We really appreciate their courtesy and timeliness. Would highly recommend them to anyone else in the area!”
About: Hi, I'm Rusty! I've spent my entire life caring for dogs and truly believe that pets are family, deserving only the best walks and care. With experience handling a wide variety of breeds, sizes, and needs, I’m ready to offer your dog the attention they deserve. As a recent retiree, I now have the time and passion to help your pups live their best life! 🐶 I have recently retired, so I have a very flexible schedule! I am available for dog walks and drop-in visits on weekdays between 8:00 A.M. and 3:00 P.M. I treat dogs with the same love and care as any family member. Each day, I ensure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. Whether it's a morning walk or playtime in the yard, I make sure they’re always happy and comfortable. I am attentive to their individual needs, providing them with a routine that keeps them healthy and active. I also make sure the dogs have fresh water at every visit. Above all, I believe in building a strong bond based on trust, love, and mutual respect, making sure they feel safe and loved every single day.

“RaeLynn has been such a blessing. Tribe has major anxiety due to trauma he suffered as a puppy, As a result he requires a lot of patience and honestly he just needed someone to see the sweet and loving boy that he truly is. I was really nervous to try rover, but reading RaeLynns profile I felt confident that my baby would be in good hands given her experience and training. And I was absolutely right. We ran into a few bumps along the way but through each step Tribe was treated with patient understanding, love and kindness. I am so grateful and will 100% be contacting RaeLynn for our future sitter needs. Thank you so much”

“I can’t say enough great things about Jesse. He’s incredibly affordable, reliable, and just all-around amazing with animals. My dog is super friendly, hyper, and has an endless amount of energy—but somehow, he keeps up with her like it’s no big deal. She always comes back happy, tired, and clearly well cared for. He has a natural way with animals and so much experience—not just with dogs, but all kinds of pets. It’s such a relief knowing she’s in good hands with someone who genuinely loves what he does. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, energetic, and kind dog walker!”

Marissa was absolutely great! We have two cats with big personalities and she was patient in getting to know each of them. She was quick to respond, polite, and left very detailed feedback! We loved all the pictures she shared too! Marissa went above and beyond to make sure our babies were well taken care of and comfortable while we were away.
