“Could not have been a better experience! Our puppy dog Tito was treated as family during the course of his stay. Andrea was amazing at letting me know he was doing ok and I think Tito has found a new best friend with Henry! Thank you all so very much !!!”
“I am so happy Charly got to stay with Kathy and her dog Gypsy. My dog Charly had a blast. Kathy was attentive to Charly's anxiety and made sure he ate and sent me plenty of pictures which made me so happy. I would definitely have Charly stay with Kathy again! Thanks Kathy!”
“Kym was great! She took care of our 5 month old puppy for 5 days while we were out of town. She was super responsive in the booking process as well as while we were gone. She sent daily updates on our puppy who always seemed to be having a great time with her and her dog Huck. I would not hesitate to hire Kym again in the future!”
“Melanie took great care of my dogs and dropped them off before we arrived! She was lovely to communicate with and my dogs seemed happy and healthy when we got him. Her place on the hill with the fenced in area looked lovely for the dogs. Will definitely use Melanie again!”
“Kyley took amazing care of our sweet old hound Georgia, including taking her out hiking and swimming, her favorite things to do! Georgia was super happy in the photos Kyley shared and also when picked up. Kyley communicated well and was very flexible about my request for an early pickup. I would definitely work with Kyley again!”
About: I have experience working at a doggy day-care. I was responsible for watching and entertaining up to 25 dogs at a time of all ages and sizes! I am currently working 4 days a week Tues-Fri. I have a long weekend every week to give your pup the love and attention they deserve! I hope to find some canine friends to hike with me on the weekends. I can cater to whatever your dog needs as I have plenty of experience working with different breeds, sizes, and ages. Just let me know and I will provide.
“I feel lucky that I found Melissa to care for our miniature poodle Cooper. Cooper was never happy in a commercial daycare situation but felt at home at Melissa's house. Melissa truly loves every pup in her care and regularly communicates updates on your dog's behavior. 🐶 Right away we felt at ease after leaving our dog for a few days with Melissa and highly recommend her services!”
About: We absolutely love animals, and want to share our home and fenced yard with your pooch. We understand what it’s like to leave your dog with someone else while you’re away; we will treat your dog like a member of our family. I (Diana) grew up on a farm with lots of different animals and dogs, and understand how each one has their own fantastic personality. Just let me know what they need, and I can do it. We’ve had puppies, older dogs, big dogs, small dogs, and everything in between! My tween/teen kids are kind and fun with animals, and will provide even more love and attention for your dog while they stay with us. Thank you for trusting us with your favorite furry buddy! We primarily work from home so we can spend a lot of quality time with your dog. We have a Newfoundland-poodle mix of our own, so our daily routine is already focused on dog care (feeding, walking, letting outside, etc). Just let me know what your dog needs! We also have goats, chickens, outdoor cats, and a couple of feral peacocks that hang around the property. It’s a pet paradise. 😊 We have a large fenced yard and a big goofball named Hoagie to keep your doggy company. We will love and care for your dog as if he/she was our own, because that’s what we would expect for Hoagie while we’re away. We have extra pet beds, food and water dishes, etc. Our yard is perfect for a game of fetch, a sunbathing session, playtime with Hoagie, or just a great sniff. We’re happy to have your dog sleep in one of our bedrooms, take them for walks, and give them all the love.
“Tasha was so lovely! This was my first time leaving Rocky due to a last minute family emergency and it was a great success :) we came by for a meet and greet prior to drop off and it felt great to be so confident Rocky would be in great hands. He had so much fun, lots of activities and play time. Tasha was communicative and sent lots of adorable pictures and videos. Rocky is not great with recall so Tasha’s husband made a zip line so Rocky could easily explore as much of their property as possible! They really went above and beyond in so many ways. Thank you so much will definitely reach out to Tasha again if Rocky needs a sitter in the area!”
“Alexis's place is in a secluded and safe place with huge lawn and play area for dogs. She is extremely patient and kind with older dogs like ours and has shown willingness to go the extra mile caring for them. Hidden gem and definitely recommendable.”
“Nayla has been great with our pup. I always get great pictures and reports on how he’s doing. They go for lots of walks and he comes home happy! She’s always flexible when she can be and has been great to work with. Nayla will definitely stay on our short list of people to trust our dog with!”
About: As a pet lover and dog mom myself, your pets are my priority and I love getting to meet new dog and cat friends!

My dog is super friendly and he gets taken out every 3-5 hours if possible. I try to walk him every day, as well as letting him socialize with other pups!
“Thank you for your help Westan!! Westan watched our dog and cat and they both loved him! I think Aspen wouldn’t have minded if we stayed away a few days longer so she could spend more time with him! ?”
“Olena did AMAZING with my boy! She was excellent at communicating with me and making me feel comfortable. This was my first time ever leaving my dog and he loved staying with her. I 100% recommend her and would definitely use her again!!!”
“Johanna was so great with our dog. She made sure to do lots of fun things with her to make it a great weekend while we were away. She took her swimming, which is Rooney’s all time favorite thing, took lots of pictures, and I know Rooney was well loved while we were away!”

About: Cats have been a large part of my sitter services for many many years since high school. I wouldn’t dare call myself a cat expert because all cats are extremely special and specific, though I would venture to say that I can make even the most shy cats enjoy their stay with me! I have experience administering medication and I have experience with special needs cats as well.

“Lidia did an amazing job house sitting and caring for my 7 month old kitten while I was away. She was communicative throughout the stay, providing regular updates and photos that gave me complete peace of mind. She was also flexible, respectful of my home, and clearly attentive to my kitten’s needs. I would absolutely hire Lidia again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. She was a pleasure to work with!”
About: I love animals and started dog care for a family in high school. I’m a runner so I ran with the large dogs and learned to adjust walks to the dogs. I don’t have a dog of my own so i love caring for other people’s dogs. I’m a student at Chico State, but I’m available to dog walk on Thursday’s and weekends. I’m available for house sitting every day of the week :) Any dog I am sitting will enjoy either a leisurely stroll or a run depending on the dog. I love both dogs and cats (and all other animals) so I will shower your fur babies with love.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for the past twenty years. I grew up having dogs and caring for dogs is my passion. I’ve dog sat for many friends and family members. I have trained my family dog with commands such as sit, stay, lay down and heal. I have also taught him fun tricks like shake, roll over, whisper, and give me 10. I am looking for full time dog walking and dog sitting opportunities. I am looking for anything from one walk to long term set schedules, which I am flexible. I am interested in house sitting opportunities and dog walking opportunities since I am currently renting and cannot have dogs or any animals at my house.
About: I love my dogs , and will love yours just the same! My home is small and cozy, with near access of hundreds of acres of woods with amazing hiking trails! A number of dog friendly beaches are close by for summer swimming as well. I prefer pups that are ok off leash for romps in the woods, as I take my dogs there for exercise daily. But leashes are certainly ok if that is preferred. My 2 pups, Oki and Cassidy, are very loved and spoiled, and the same will go for any pup in my home! About this sitter: Hello! I am Brynn, and have lived in the Tahoe area for just about 20 years now! I am a Certified Natural Chef and own Nourish, a personal/private chef service. I love my dogs like children, and cherish every second spent with them. I am active, kind hearted and down to earth, and value the smaller things in life. Why I love dog sitting From as long as I can remember as a child I have always loved dogs...well all animals really, but dogs are special to me. I grew up on a small farm and had lots of dogs, mostly Australian Shepherd, German Shepherds and Saint Bernards. I spent most of my free time with them as a child. My parents got me into 4H at a young age and I began training and showing my Aussies. I can't ever remember a time in my life where I didn't have a dog! I moved to California 13 years ago, and it was then that I was lucky enough to meet Kai, the love of my life, a black tri female rescue Aussie. She was the greatest soul I have ever met. At age 13 she passed away from Lymphoma. She was so loved and lived a blessed life. Now I am blessed with two amazing pups that I love to the moon and back...I will always be a dog lover! About my yard I do not have a fenced in yard. My home is located in the Tahoe Donner neighborhood, and backs up to hundreds of acres of forest. That is where we do all of our adventuring. I am self-employed, and my work days typically start at 3. That gives ample time for morning adventures! Our current daily routine typically goes as follows - 7:30am wake up, on-leash bathroom time, breakfast, post breakfast snooze, 10am adventure, noon treats and chill, 3pm bathroom break, 7:30pm dinner, after dinner chill, bathroom break, 9:30 bed time! Most pups that stay with us fit very well into that routine. I am very hands-on and attentive to my fuzzy friends. My dogs are never out of my sight. They have full range of the house (couch, bed, chairs, laps!).
About: I've had a dog since I was born and truly believe they are better than people. I've had a cockapoo, a couple of king charles cavaliers, a cocker spaniel, a doberman, and my current terrier mix I rescued, Paisley. I take care of dogs as if they are my own, and there's nothing I love more than coming home to my own pup. I'll send you photos and update texts while you're gone so you know your pup is doing great! Your dog will enjoy outdoor adventures, hikes, and couch time with plenty of tummy scratches. In all honesty, I'm offering my services just because I love dogs so much, and being an owner myself, know all too well the nervousness that comes with leaving your "child" behind when you go out of town. I promise I will bring that sense of ease to you that I too look for when I have to leave my dog behind. My schedule is fairly flexible, so just let me know what your pup needs, and we can figure out if we are a good match! I will make sure your dog is as comfortable as if they were in their own home. I can give your dog his/her own bedroom, or they can snuggle with me and my pup.

My schedule is flexible outside of clinical hours and am excited to spend time with your animals and assist with your needs. I am available for short check-ins, walks, overnights, and weekends you are away. My ideal setting for pet care would be at a client's home due to already having one at home. I am open to caring for pets at my home once we have determined that our animals would be comfortable with one another and get along well! My house has a fenced in yard with lots of space for activity and play time for your pets. I have experience with house sitting and dog sitting concurrently whether for a few hours, few days or weeks. I am respectful, clean and responsible and follow instructions and client preferences.

I'll love your dog like my own and hope to help out with getting him / her out of the house while you're away. I have experience walking / exercising all sorts of dogs; big, small, old, young, high energy, and social butterflies. I'm currently work from home, so I have plenty of time and flexibility to play with your pup! I'm dedicated to taking the best care of your furry friend. While visiting your dog for weekly walks, I will defer to your defined house rules when it comes to greeting and socializing with your dog. I will be sure to keep any preferred doors closed, gates up, and toys away. I will reinforce rules like staying off of furniture, etc. I will always be sure to refill water bowls as needed and will leave your home tidy and clean. If allowed, I will be happy to give your dog treats after a successful walk! I have also had many opportunities to house sit and truly enjoy it! I will treat your home as my own, keeping things clean, tidy, and respecting your space.

“My husky rescue can be timid and scared in new setting. Nayla and her awesome dog made Freya feel comfortable, playing and hiking and building her confidence. Nayla was prompt, understanding, communicated well and shared lots of pics of their adventures. It was reassuring and awesome to see my dog having a great time. I highly recommend Nayla if you have an active dog and are looking for someone to give them the attention, exercise and love they need while in someone else’s care.”
“Kathy was great with the dogs, communicative and flexible, especially because we booked her during a blizzard! Still she made sure our pups got some activity and felt at home.”
“Malea was great! Great communication, flexible with my schedule and the need for pick up and drop off. She took my Aussie (high energy dog) on many adventures and when they came back my pupper was tired from exerting her energy and happy! 100% would book again.”
“Tasha did an amazing job with Pico! Pico has anxiety and Tasha took extra special care of her. We met with Tasha for a meet and greet and she asked all the right questions. I felt completely comfortable leaving Pico with her. When I picked Pico up I could tell she had been well exercised. I high recomend and I would use Tasha again in the future.”
“Johanna took great care of our little girl, introducing her to snow. Her dog Olive is super sweet and our Arrow fell in love with her. Great communication, easy and agreeable. We would definitely leave Arrow with Johanna again next time!”

When I am not at the hospital working, I can dedicate the whole day to hanging with the pups Dogs will stay in the house with frequent potty breaks.

About: I've been dog sitting and walking for over 13 years and have experience with many breeds. I live an active life style and would love to take your dog(s) on walks, runs, or hikes.

I'm also happy to follow any routines and dog-favorite activities of your own. I'm in grad school online and have pretty flexible hours. Usually my dog sitting days include a short walk (15-20minutes) in the early morning and a longer one mid-day to afternoon (45minutes - 1.5 hours) with another shorter evening walk. Weather and heat are always taken into consideration when planning daily walks. I'm also happy to follow the schedule and walk length that your dog is accustomed to. I believe personalized (or dog-alized) care is important. I'd love to be in communication with you prior to service in order to talk about dog needs and routines. I'm also always available for communication while with your dog and will send daily photos!

About: Since high school I have had experience with normal pets to the exotic! I can honestly say that each animal is an individual that deserves their specific needs acknowledged and met.

I’ve even read books like Caesar’s Way in order to better understand my own pets and help them. I’ve even been known to be a bit of a perfectionist although that was in my earlier years now I can gladly say am a seasoned sitter!

I’m available for house sitting every day of the week :) Any dog I am sitting will enjoy either a leisurely stroll or a run depending on the dog. I love both dogs and cats (and all other animals) so I will shower your fur babies with love.
“I was very sick and unable to walk my very energetic boxer one day during the week. Given that I needed someone, essentially, right away, I figured I'd be out of luck, but thankfully(!) Zac replied to me within minutes... we worked on a good time to meet, he came to condo complex to pick up Sammy (..and was right on time :)). What a life safer for me and Sammy! Thank you again Zac!”

We offer pet care services, including dog walking, feeding, and playtime activities in a stress free environment resulting in improved physical and mental well being of your pet. I have years of experience taking care of cats, dogs, and other small exotic animals. I work from home in a stress free environment allowing me plenty of quality time with your pet.

I love hiking and walking and provide multiple outdoor breaks during the day. I have a pet safe balcony. There are stairs in my place and thought it would be informative to share.
About: With 28 years of experience caring for a variety of pets, I bring a wealth of knowledge and genuine love for animals to every sitting job. My extensive experience allows me to understand each pet’s unique needs, providing them with a comfortable, safe, and loving environment while you're away. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or administering medication, you can trust that your pets are in caring hands. I'm currently widely available for house sitting while my farm is pausing it's operations for the winter season. My flexible routine ensures pets receive consistent, loving care, while maintaining a balance with my other commitments. Pet care seamlessly fits into my daily routine, as caring for animals is both a passion and a priority for me. Each day begins with ensuring pets get their morning walk, feeding, and attention. Throughout the week, I make time for regular play sessions, exercise, and grooming to keep pets happy and healthy. I also stay on top of any special care needs, such as administering medication or following specific feeding schedules.
About: I've had furry friends my whole life, 5 Golden Retrievers to be exact! I love all kinds of pups, cats, and animals. I've had a lot of experience walking and caring for dogs! I'll love your dog like my own and hope to help out with getting him / her out of the house while you're away. I have experience walking / exercising all sorts of dogs; big, small, old, young, high energy, and social butterflies. I'm currently work from home, so I have plenty of time and flexibility to play with your pup! I'm dedicated to taking the best care of your furry friend. While visiting your dog for weekly walks, I will defer to your defined house rules when it comes to greeting and socializing with your dog. I will be sure to keep any preferred doors closed, gates up, and toys away. I will reinforce rules like staying off of furniture, etc. I will always be sure to refill water bowls as needed and will leave your home tidy and clean. If allowed, I will be happy to give your dog treats after a successful walk! I have also had many opportunities to house sit and truly enjoy it! I will treat your home as my own, keeping things clean, tidy, and respecting your space. My priority remains the same among all of my house sits, making sure your home, house plants, animals, and daily responsibilities are well looked after and taken care of.
About: I am an experienced dog walker with a background in SPCA volunteering, wildlife rescue work, and in-home pet sitting. I have lifelong experience with dogs and focus on providing safe, reliable, and attentive care. My goal is to make sure each dog is comfortable, exercised, and well cared for during every walk. Pet care fits into my weekly routine on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, when I dedicate my time to dog walking and pet care services in the Truckee area. I keep a limited schedule so I can provide reliable, consistent, and focused care for each pet. This allows me to prioritize safety, communication with owners, and quality time with every dog I work with. I focus on providing safe, attentive, and respectful care in each pet’s familiar environment or during walks. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely, maintain routines, and prioritize each animal’s comfort and well-being. With experience in SPCA volunteering, wildlife rescue, and in-home pet sitting, I understand how important consistency, patience, and observation are. I make sure pets are always secure, supervised, and treated with calm, reliable handling.
“Lauren is great, really friendly and cheerful. Suggested a meet-and-greet before our pup's first walks which was really reassuring. Our dog clearly remembered her and was super happy to see her the second time - always a good sign!”
About: I have had dogs my entire life and will treat yours as my own. I am happy to send pictures and updates of our walk or time together while you are away. I can take your dog on a walk around the neighborhood, run, hike, to the river or lake, or whatever you suggest. I can provide pet sitting at your house or my own. I have a home with a fenced in yard perfect for doggy day care. I have a flexible schedule that can fit your needs. I'm looking forward to meeting your pup! I am a local teacher who works Mon-Wed so those days I am gone during school hours. Thur-Sun and summer I am available with a flexible schedule. I live in a quiet neighborhood with a fenced in yard that’s perfect for a pup. My most recent dog was an old golden retriever with medical needs so I am used to providing special care.
“Taryn was wonderful! She was so communicative during our prep for our stay in Tahoe. Our dog Ella had a great time; Taryn took her on two Tahoe adventures while we were out on a boat and sent a bunch of photos. We will definitely contact Taryn the next time we’re in Tahoe for vacation!”
About: Have taken care of friends' and neighbors' pets through most of my childhood, and continue to dogsit for friends during vacations, weddings, or other needs. I love spending time in the woods, so can take your pet on outdoor adventures, hiking, biking, skiing, or snowshoeing. Pet care is something I do in my free time, outside of working as an outdoor educator or substitute teaching. I plan to spend most of the Fall, Winter, and Spring in Truckee, so weekends or weekdays are all on the table. I keep a watchful eye over pets in my home, and allow them safety within and without the house. I live near downtown Truckee, so time outside is spent on the leash. I always leave pet food and water out, and have pet-loving roommates.
“Brynn was super responsive on a last minute request. She was very communicative and made me feel at ease. Enzo had the best time!! Can’t wait to set up more dates with Brynn in the future!”
About: I've fostered, sat, and rescued everything from puppies to purebreds. Although I don't currently have any pets, I'm thrilled to take care of yours! I'll treat them like my own. I'm free for weekends, weekdays, short notice, and holidays. If I have to go to work I will try to not leave them alone for more than 6 hours. I can effectively manage special-needs animals with patience and kindness. I can't board pets in my home, but I am available to provide compassionate care for your animals in your own home.
“Nadine is awesome. I’m a last minute request type of person (if I ski all day, go on a long day trip, etc) and she is super responsive. Clyde really likes her, and we will continue to have Nadine walk Clyde! :)”

“Could not have been a better experience! Our puppy dog Tito was treated as family during the course of his stay. Andrea was amazing at letting me know he was doing ok and I think Tito has found a new best friend with Henry! Thank you all so very much !!!”
“Kym was great! She took care of our 5 month old puppy for 5 days while we were out of town. She was super responsive in the booking process as well as while we were gone. She sent daily updates on our puppy who always seemed to be having a great time with her and her dog Huck. I would not hesitate to hire Kym again in the future!”
“Melanie took great care of my dogs and dropped them off before we arrived! She was lovely to communicate with and my dogs seemed happy and healthy when we got him. Her place on the hill with the fenced in area looked lovely for the dogs. Will definitely use Melanie again!”
“Kyley took amazing care of our sweet old hound Georgia, including taking her out hiking and swimming, her favorite things to do! Georgia was super happy in the photos Kyley shared and also when picked up. Kyley communicated well and was very flexible about my request for an early pickup. I would definitely work with Kyley again!”
About: I have experience working at a doggy day-care. I was responsible for watching and entertaining up to 25 dogs at a time of all ages and sizes! I am currently working 4 days a week Tues-Fri. I have a long weekend every week to give your pup the love and attention they deserve! I hope to find some canine friends to hike with me on the weekends. I can cater to whatever your dog needs as I have plenty of experience working with different breeds, sizes, and ages. Just let me know and I will provide.
About: We absolutely love animals, and want to share our home and fenced yard with your pooch. We understand what it’s like to leave your dog with someone else while you’re away; we will treat your dog like a member of our family. I (Diana) grew up on a farm with lots of different animals and dogs, and understand how each one has their own fantastic personality. Just let me know what they need, and I can do it. We’ve had puppies, older dogs, big dogs, small dogs, and everything in between! My tween/teen kids are kind and fun with animals, and will provide even more love and attention for your dog while they stay with us. Thank you for trusting us with your favorite furry buddy! We primarily work from home so we can spend a lot of quality time with your dog. We have a Newfoundland-poodle mix of our own, so our daily routine is already focused on dog care (feeding, walking, letting outside, etc). Just let me know what your dog needs! We also have goats, chickens, outdoor cats, and a couple of feral peacocks that hang around the property. It’s a pet paradise. 😊 We have a large fenced yard and a big goofball named Hoagie to keep your doggy company. We will love and care for your dog as if he/she was our own, because that’s what we would expect for Hoagie while we’re away. We have extra pet beds, food and water dishes, etc. Our yard is perfect for a game of fetch, a sunbathing session, playtime with Hoagie, or just a great sniff. We’re happy to have your dog sleep in one of our bedrooms, take them for walks, and give them all the love.
“Tasha was so lovely! This was my first time leaving Rocky due to a last minute family emergency and it was a great success :) we came by for a meet and greet prior to drop off and it felt great to be so confident Rocky would be in great hands. He had so much fun, lots of activities and play time. Tasha was communicative and sent lots of adorable pictures and videos. Rocky is not great with recall so Tasha’s husband made a zip line so Rocky could easily explore as much of their property as possible! They really went above and beyond in so many ways. Thank you so much will definitely reach out to Tasha again if Rocky needs a sitter in the area!”
“Alexis's place is in a secluded and safe place with huge lawn and play area for dogs. She is extremely patient and kind with older dogs like ours and has shown willingness to go the extra mile caring for them. Hidden gem and definitely recommendable.”
“Nayla has been great with our pup. I always get great pictures and reports on how he’s doing. They go for lots of walks and he comes home happy! She’s always flexible when she can be and has been great to work with. Nayla will definitely stay on our short list of people to trust our dog with!”
About: As a pet lover and dog mom myself, your pets are my priority and I love getting to meet new dog and cat friends! I am comfortable with pets in all shapes and sizes, and have extensive experience with anxious animals, as my own dog is quite the shy guy. I live in Alpine Meadows and work at Palisades Tahoe, and am happy to give your pets the care they deserve on my off days and before/after work! I work at Palisades Tahoe as a ski instructor and live in the Donner Lake area. I typically work Friday-Sunday with evenings off. I can be flexible if needed! My dog is super friendly and he gets taken out every 3-5 hours if possible. I try to walk him every day, as well as letting him socialize with other pups!
“Thank you for your help Westan!! Westan watched our dog and cat and they both loved him! I think Aspen wouldn’t have minded if we stayed away a few days longer so she could spend more time with him! ?”
“Olena did AMAZING with my boy! She was excellent at communicating with me and making me feel comfortable. This was my first time ever leaving my dog and he loved staying with her. I 100% recommend her and would definitely use her again!!!”
“Johanna was so great with our dog. She made sure to do lots of fun things with her to make it a great weekend while we were away. She took her swimming, which is Rooney’s all time favorite thing, took lots of pictures, and I know Rooney was well loved while we were away!”
About: I have extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I run a 501(c)(3) dog rescue, regularly transport dogs, care for puppies, seniors, and special-needs dogs, administer medications, work on basic training, leash manners, and provide structured, loving care tailored to each pet’s needs. Pet care fits seamlessly into my schedule because animals are already a central part of my daily life. I work from home and plan my days around feeding schedules, walks, medications, enrichment, and individualized care. This flexibility allows me to be reliable, responsive, and fully present for each pet. I have 2 600+ feet plus areas for dogs to run and play. We have a building for them to sleep cozy, clean and safe.
“Luke was so amazing! I had a last minute cancellation from a Dogsitter and Luke came to the rescue! He was very responsive and he was able to meet us in just a few hours. I got frequent updates and he was very attentive to my spoiled pup. Luke was nice enough to stay up late to make sure I got my boy before bedtime. Thank you, thank you, thank you!”
“Judy was nice and warm to our dog Angie, she was very cautious about not getting our dog near her other pets, which made me more comfortable with our dog staying there. We will be happy to bring our dog back to Judy at our next stay at Tahoe.”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, providing reliable walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of attention to keep them happy, safe, and well-exercised.
