“What can I say about Kristie? She was incredible with my pup. He’s a bit of a finicky boy, and this was his first experience not at a kennel while dad was away. After asking great questions to get an understanding m, we did a meet and greet and Reggie seemed to enjoy, so we went ahead with the booking. Throughout my 7 day trip, I got plenty of updates and pics (peep the gallery). Kristie took the time to get to know the pup, checked in with me to get insights, and tailored her interactions and expectations to match my goober’s needs. 10/10 recommend, and hope to rebook whenever I need a sitter!”

“Logan and Ellie were nothing but amazing dog sitters for my dog. My dog struggles with really bad anxiety and they made sure the keep a close eye on her and had amazing patience and understanding than anyone I’ve seen. They kept me updated all the time and made did an amazing job of communicating any concerns or asking questions. They were knowledgeable in how to properly care for dogs and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a sitter. Rosemary seemed very satisfied and that makes me satisfied, she’s not an easy dog to care for so anyone who can handle her has my respect and appreciation”

Jayden sent plenty of pictures throughout her stay, and seeing how happy, relaxed, and well cared for she was gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear that she was treated like part of the family, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I would absolutely trust Jayden to watch Greta again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring, reliable dog sitter!”

“My Missy RESCUED me, and so when i had to fly to Orlando to look at our new potential home, i was so nervous to leave her, as we havent been apart that long in the 3 years I've had her. I cried, no i sobbed when i dropped her off. Before, i even got down the street i was getting pictures and even short video's. My heart and soul were put at ease. This continued my entire trip! I could focus on getting things taken care of. I would/will definitely use this "surrogate" mama again without a nano second if hesitation:) woof, woof Missy approves this post!!!”

About: I provide personalized pet care for dogs and cats of all ages — from high-energy pups who need plenty of walks and playtime to senior pets who appreciate slow strolls and calm companionship. My services include drop-in visits, walks, and overnight boarding, each tailored to your pet’s unique needs, habits, and comfort level. I believe great pet care is built on trust- which means reliable communication, prompt updates, and lots of adorable photos. You’ll always know how your pet is doing while you’re away! I’m known for being responsive and detail oriented, with a strong reputation for consistent five star experiences. ⭐ Senior pets hold a special place in my heart, but I truly love them all- from first wags to grey muzzles. I understand how hard it can be to leave your pets, so I care for them as if they were my own. Whether you need daily walks, weekend boarding, or gentle senior support, I’ll make sure your pet’s tail (or purr) tells you how loved they are when you return. 🐾 Pet care is my full time focus. My flexible schedule means I can offer consistent walks, drop ins, and overnight stays. I’m typically most available Sunday through Wednesday, but I’m happy to adjust if your travel or work week shifts. Reliability and adaptability are my top priorities! I have extensive experience with dogs who require medication, rescues who need patience, and even cats with unique routines (I’ve even trained a few to do tricks!). My home is also pet-friendly, safe, and full of positive energy. Pets in my care get attention, enrichment, and affection- never just supervision!

“Abbey took care of our three family cats while we were on vacation in Florida for nine days, and I cannot say enough good things about the experience. Before we left, I was very worried about being away from them because our cats are such an important part of our family. Abbey made it so much easier for us to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing they were in such good hands. She communicated exceptionally well, providing updates after every visit along with pictures and videos of our cats. Seeing them and knowing how they were doing gave us tremendous peace of mind. She also kept their litter boxes clean, made sure they had fresh water and their food was full, made sure they had treats, and clearly gave them plenty of attention and care. What truly stood out was how she went above and beyond. We have an outdoor cat who would greet her every day and was always very vocal when she arrived. One day he didn't show up when she arrived. Concerned, Abbey spent time looking around for him but couldn't find him. Even though she wasn't scheduled to come the next day, she returned the next day specifically to check on him. Thankfully, he was there waiting to greet her, and knowing that she cared enough to come back and make sure he was okay meant so much to us. Abbey is kind, dependable, caring, and truly treats your pets as if they were her own. We would absolutely use her again for future vacations and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust to care for their cats. She is wonderful! 🐾❤️”
“Hannah did an amazing job taking care of our kitties while we were away for over a week. She had her hands full with several kitties with different needs (including 4 foster kittens!) and took great care of everyone. Hannah sent detailed updates for each visit, cleaned up, and gave the kitties extra love. We would absolutely have Hannah take care of our kitties again!”
“Abbi and her friend were great. Our cat Mosey has a few health issues, and he's extremely anxious in new settings but he warmed up to them right away. He even slept with them at night and cuddled in their lap which he never does. I can't recommend Abbi enough!”
“Absolutely amazing! Our really shy cat absolutely loved her! I will definitely be rebooking with her next time we go out of town, 10/10 would highly recommend! ❤️”
“They did Fantastic with my buddy. I'm sure that you will be very pleased, with their services. I would like to thank them again, for taking great care of him.”
“Dorothy instantly liked Katy at the meet and greet. This was our first time trusting anyone with her. Katy was great sending us plenty of pictures and kept to the schedule. Definitely will use Katy next time”
“Chelsea was amazing! She took such great care of our cats and gave great updates. One of our cats usually gets really stressed when we’re away, but he was so happy and relaxed this time with her checking in. I’m so grateful and will definitely book with her again!”
“Autumn was great while watching our two cats. She did all her check ins on time and sent us the best pictures and updates every time. Would highly recommend☺️”
About: Cats have been an important part of my life for many years. I've cared for my own cats through every stage of life, from playful young adults to seniors, and I understand that every cat has their own personality and comfort level. Whether they're social and curious or prefer quiet company from a distance, I'm happy to meet them where they are. In addition to caring for my own cats, I've also cared for boarding cats in a professional pet care setting. I'm experienced with feeding routines, fresh water, litter box maintenance, play and enrichment, brushing, monitoring behavior for changes, and creating a calm, low-stress environment. My goal is always to help your cat feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away, and I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind.
“The best in town! Cynthia took amazing care of my two dogs when I was on vacation, she will always be my go to for dog care. Coco and quigley appreciate you and I think they might want me to leave again just to see you :) thank you so much for doing an amazing job and having great communication with me the entire time. Truly the best in the business no questions asked!!! Sincerely, Brandon Harper”
About: Hi! My name is Kandra! I grew up on a farm so I've been around animals my whole life! My family has always had cats and dogs at all stages of their life and in various health conditions, so I've seen it all. More recently I've had experience puppy sitting for my brother and dog sitting for my sister on a number of occasions. I understand the love that you have for your furry companions and will treat them with the same love and care. I just moved to Toledo to be closer to family! I'm hoping to dog walk part-time during weekdays. I can do early mornings (starting at 7:30am), lunch breaks, and afternoons. I offer 30 minute walks, up to 1 hour long walks through the neighborhood or nearby parks. Also 30 minute drop ins for potty breaks, feeding, and play time while you are away or at work! I really value making sure you and your dog are as comfortable as possible. I'm more than happy to adhere to any specifications, adjustments, and needs for your pet specifically to make sure they feel calm, comfortable, and relaxed under my care!

“It was the first time we’d left our little one with a dog sitter, and we were a little worried because ever since we adopted her, she’s always been very shy and tends to be afraid of strangers, but Jenifer was amazing with Hazel. She was extremely friendly and kept us updated on our little ball of fur, making her feel like she was part of a second family. My husband and I are very happy—we’ll definitely be back.”
“Beth did an amazing job! She was very flexible when I needed a little bit more time when picking Dakota up. She goes above and beyond for your pet and makes them feel like they are part of her home.”
About: Welcome to our cozy pet boarding service! We provide a safe and loving environment for your furry friends while you're away. With multiple cats of our own, we understand the unique needs of feline companions. Our spacious and comfortable accommodations ensure that your pets feel right at home. We offer personalized care, playtime, and plenty of cuddles to keep them happy and entertained. Trust us to treat your pets like family! I have a job where I can pick my own hours and work for myself so I can watch pets anytime and be there for them whenever I need. I take very good care of pets in my home. I treat them as if they are my own. They have a large space to explore and run around in. Although I do not have a fenced in yard, I have absolutely no problem taking them out on a leash to go potty or even a park.
“Celene is legitimately the best dog sitter you could ask for. She not only is an early riser but is a night owl. Celene sends updates and ask questions without even being asked. She not only puts effort in towards jaxsons training she has even went out of her way to teach us on how we could be doing different/better. Celene also makes sure that jaxson gets the proper food/water/bathroom breaks as he needs. He doesn't come back hungry, needing to potty, or beat up. Penny, celenes dog, is hands down the cutest little thing I've ever seen. When I get there she is happy to greet me at the door with kisses and tail wags. Jaxson also loves penny and always comes back PROPERLY wore out. My final thoughts are if I could had another grandma I would ask her. Shes been there for us EVERY time we've need her and that's at the end of the day all I could ask.”
“Angelika provided last minute care for my dog. She was quick to reply, flexible, kind, and friendly. Charley had a great time, spent time outside, went on a walk, and snuggle on the couch. It was a great day!! Highly recommend!!!”
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 25 years and have experience with both cats and dogs of all ages and personalities. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, cleaning, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe and cared for while you’re away. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and treat every home and pet with respect. I also provide regular updates so you always know how your pets are doing. I have a flexible schedule and am available for drop-in visits throughout the day, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I can work around your pet’s routine to keep things consistent and stress-free. I’m available on weekends and can often accommodate last-minute requests. I care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable and secure. I also have a fenced-in yard for safe, supervised outdoor time if needed for dogs. During each visit, I make sure food and water are fresh, litter boxes or potty breaks are handled, and your pet gets attention based on their personality. I follow all care instructions closely, keep your home secure, and provide regular updates so you can feel confident while you’re away.
About: Hi! I’m Lily, and caring for animals is genuinely one of my favorite things in life. I’ve had pets my whole life and have also worked at a doggy daycare, so I’m very comfortable handling dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I own dogs myself—they’re very docile and love having friends—so I understand how important it is to find someone you fully trust with your pets. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including anxious pups and dogs with special needs. One of my dogs is deaf and responds to sign, so I’m especially patient, attentive, and tuned in to nonverbal communication. Whether your pet needs high-energy playtime, structured walks, or just a calm and comforting presence, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I’ll treat them like they’re my own—lots of love, attention, and updates so you never have to wonder how they’re doing. I’m reliable, communicative, and genuinely excited to meet your pets. I can’t wait to give them the care they deserve! I do work 730-330 M-F but my partner (Jeremy) is home by 2:30 PM every day, and we’re both home in the evenings, so your pet will have plenty of supervision, attention, and company. We make sure pets are never left alone for long periods and always prioritize their comfort and routine. I’m happy to work with your pet’s specific schedule and needs—just let me know what works best for them! Your pet’s safety is my top priority. We have a fully fenced-in backyard with turf, providing a clean and secure space for safe outdoor play and bathroom breaks. Inside, our home is pet-proofed to prevent access to anything unsafe, and we always supervise interactions to ensure a calm and controlled environment. I’m attentive to each dog’s behavior and needs, and I take introductions slowly to make sure everyone feels comfortable. You can trust that your pet will be in a safe, secure, and well-managed environment at all times.
About: Hello! My name is John’Asia. As you may see by viewing my photos, I have a huge heart for fur babies. It all started when I volunteered at a local animal shelter in my hometown. I fell in love with the idea of taking care of the pups/kittens there. That’s when I decided to start my own business in the pet care industry! This is not just a business this is my passion/dream job! I do not have any pets of my own, therefore I treat all of the furbabies as my very own under my care. I am here to provide you the best service for your family member. I am trustworthy, energetic, reliable and prompt. I am very excited to meet everyone’s pets! I am really hoping to attract repeat and long term fur besties. Also, I will require a meet and greet with me. Thank you! I am a full time pet care provider. My schedule is open from 9AM - 8PM Monday - Saturday for walks & visits. 24hrs/7days a week for housesitting & boarding. Don’t worry, your fur baby is in great hands. I will be sure to send you daily photos of your fur baby for your comfort. Drop Ins & Walks: I love the excitement of fur babies when I come in because they know it’s play/snack time when they see me lol! Also, if you need me to feed or clean up a possible accident, that’s not a problem! Boarding: I treat all pups as my own while under my care. Your pup will go everywhere (Bike Rides, dog park, summer events, trails, etc.) with me except other homes I service! Your pup will feel like he/she is on vacation as well!! Did you see the new play area & boarding area I created. Check out my photos!!!!!! Lol they will have a great time & it will show in the daily pictures! **Disclaminer the back yard park & playhouse are no longer effective due to me moving into an apartment** Housesitting: Same as boarding but in the comfort of their home!

“Comer & Joan put our minds at ease when they babysit our pups. They treat them like we treat them.- like family. They are very attentive to the needs of our dogs and their safety. But we have a dog that is very skittish and they are so patient with him if you’re looking for someone to watch your fur babies looking no further Comer & Joan they are the perfect people”
“Maxi hadn’t been to Emily’s in a while and he was so excited when we dropped him off. Evidence right there of how great she is. She’s very responsive and keeps in touch with pictures and/or videos while Maxi is there. We don’t think you could find a more caring sitter.”
“He did a phenomenal job! I booked last minute and he was very accommodating. He brought Dakota into his home with Kya and Roo, and made him feel very welcome.”
About: My sister and I moved back to our home town and moved in together (along with my 10 year old niece and my 2 year old daughter). Both of us have had pets all our lives, including owning dogs from as small as 20 pounds to as large as 120 pounds. My doggie Odie stayed with my ex in California and our current family recently and unexpectedly lost my sister’s mini-Poochon, Cosmo. We recently adopted a Labradoodle! Grover is super sweet and loves to have playmates but also understands how to give other dogs space. My 2 year old loves all animals and understands how to give dogs space and to read physical cues (lip curl, growl), but unfortunately, we can’t dog sit or board any dogs that aren’t okay with small children. We are okay with dogs that need some extra care (meds, help going outside to potty, etc.). We have a large fenced yard and we welcome pups in all parts of our house. Thanks! I work from home, my sister watches my two year old in the house, and my 10 year old niece does online school so lots of options for care and cuddles. My parents are also just a few minutes away if we ever need back up! We have a large fenced yard and can do walks as needed (although with some limits when the weather is super cold). We welcome pups in all parts of our house including bedrooms on the second or first floor if pups have a hard time with stairs.
“Carrie was amazing! She was super quick to respond and so nice. She provided updates and pictures of my puppy, Ruby, throughout the day. Ruby loved running around Carrie’s yard and playing with her two dogs. She definitely had a great day staying with Carrie.”
About: Ever since I was a kid I have had a love for dogs. I was always the one in my family to take the reigns, teach our dogs tricks, potty train, etc. My favorite thing about dogs is their loyalty, no matter the kind of day you are having they are always there for you. Their presence is always something to look forward to. I am always the go to guy for friends when they are out of town and need someone reliable to help with their fur-babies. I will ensure your babies are cared for just as well as if they were my own. Big or small I will care for them all. I currently am a Freelance Graphic Designer that hosts trivia in local bars a few nights a week. Very flexible hours to work from home. I have a large fenced in yard to run around in and when I come to folks home I always treat it like my own.

“Abbi is amazing. My dog is afraid of everyone, but she loves Abbi. Abbi is such a sweet, warm person and a joy to have as our dog walker. She has even stayed at our house several time and has made me feel so comfortable that I did not even worry about leaving.”
About: Hi there! I'm Kristie, a lifelong animal lover. I've had pets since I was a kid. This includes bunnies, cats, a dog, hamsters, a ferret, and many others. I'm always happiest when I'm surrounded by fuzzy friends. We have recently welcomed a dog into our family. She has taught me all about playtime, patience, and puppy energy. She is the extra family member that I never knew I needed until now! I spent a year working at a local cat shelter where I cared for dozens of cats and even adopted a few myself! I still visit often just to give the kitties some extra love and attention, in hopes that it will help them find their furever homes. I treat every pet like part of my own family because that's what they are to me. Family members. I am gentle, loving, and attentive. I also love to be active and playful when your pups ready for fun. Whether it's a relaxing snuggle, a long walk, or an overnight stay, your pet will get reliable care, comfort and plenty of affection while you're away. Boarded dogs will be introduced on leash and kept close to me until mood, temperament, and potty skills are safely evaluated. All dogs will be fed separately away from each other for safety. I do ask that dogs can be crated for night time and alone time when we have to leave the home. I am currently working part-time. So I am available early afternoons and weekends to take in or check in on your furry babies. I'm also available mornings and evenings for home check ins and walks. I know how much trust it takes to let someone care for your pets, and I take that responsibility to heart. When your dog or cat is with me, they’re treated just like one of my own—with love, patience, and attention to every detail. For boarding, I make sure pets have a safe, cozy, and welcoming space where they can relax and feel at home. I keep things calm and consistent so they stay comfortable and happy. During house sitting, I respect your home as if it were my own and make sure your pets stick to their usual routines, keeping everything familiar and stress-free. When we’re out for walks, I always prioritize safety—using secure leashes, staying alert, and giving dogs the right mix of fun and structure. I’m careful, gentle, and always tuned in to how your pet is feeling. You’ll get regular updates and pictures because I know how much peace of mind it brings to see your furry family happy and cared for while you’re away. ❤️

“Vivien has been walking our dog rocky for awhile now and I could not be happier with the care that she shows our dog!! She is great with communication and i am completely comfortable at work knowing rocky is in her care and I am SUPER picky about who cares for my dog when im not around.If you are looking for a dog walker she is it.”
About: I had pets my whole life growing up (cats and dogs at the same time), currently haven’t a cat, and watch my families pets when they are out of town. I am reliable and can handle any situation that comes up. I work full time but I am able to work from home half the week so this allows me to be flexible with my pet sitting. I have a huge fenced in back yard, I treat every animal like my own as well. Additionally, I always respect other people’s homes.
About: Hi! I’m Katy. For as long as I can remember, I’ve been an animal lover. I always brought the cats home from school with me and cared for my grandpa’s chickens as a kid. I have 6+ years experience of working in a vet ward caring for others animals. Our home knows no shortage of love as we have 14 cats, 10 chickens, and our dog. When you choose me, you can be certain you’ve chosen dependable, caring, protective, and proactive. I will always have your fur baby’s best interest in mind and will never hesitate to reach out if needed. I’m currently a home maker who spends most of her free time caring for her own animals. I’ve got more than enough love to share with your fur baby as well! When you hire me, you can expect quality care. Your dog/s will have plenty of time to stretch their legs. All animals will have a fresh, clean water and food bowl, and a clean space. You can expect the litter box to be cleaned and topped with fresh litter, scooped litter to be disposed of, and the floor around the litter box to be swept up.
About: I’ve taken care of family & friends pets since I was young. This has included overnights & multiple day stays, quick stops to allow a potty break & play time, or just a quick walk. I have cared for dogs under 1 year of age and elders requiring close attention and medication. I follow your guidelines and instructions regarding your pets care! Ensuring your pet is well taken care of and providing you peace of mind is my top priority. I have grown up with a pet consistently in the household and have a dog myself! I am currently a law student at UT! This is my only source of income and fits into my breaks from class. I already love to go on walks and spend time with animals for a much needed mental break from schoolwork. As much as I am a source of love for your pet, they are a source for me as well! I can easily crate your pet and give medication if needed. I do not discipline unless you express that as a request. I am very patient and positive with animals. I will only enter the parts of your home where the dog is located unless told otherwise. I can simultaneously water any plants or do small house chores if you need!
About: I have recent hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and temperaments in professional settings. I also have a lifetime of experience as a dog and cat owner and lover! As a doggy daycare employee, I've safely managed groups of dogs in daycare, supervised structured play, monitored body language to prevent conflicts, and provided individualized care based on each dog's needs and personality. I also work as a dog handler for a professional goose management company, where I handle border collies in outdoor environments while maintaining focus, safety, and reliable leash skills around wildlife, distractions, and changing conditions. This work has strengthened my confidence handling energetic working dogs in public spaces. My experience includes: - Supervising group play and monitoring canine body language - Individual walks and exercise - Feeding, fresh water, and medication support with instructions - Cleaning kennels and maintaining a safe, sanitary environment - Crate rotations and rest breaks - Reinforcing good manners with positive interactions - Caring for puppies, senior dogs, and high-energy breeds I love every dog like it is my own and am ready to take care of your loved one when needed! My schedule is generally very flexible! I do have a few shorter recurring commitments during the weekdays, but I have availability before and after them, as well as on evenings and weekends. If you're looking for care on a specific day or time, feel free to reach out. I’m happy to work with you to find something that fits both of our schedules whenever possible. I always try to keep pets on the routine they're most comfortable with. Whether I'm in your home or caring for your pet during a walk or drop-in visit, I'll follow your instructions for feeding, medications, potty breaks, exercise, and any special needs or preferences. I believe consistency helps pets feel safe and relaxed while you're away. My professional experience in dog daycare has taught me to pay close attention to body language, energy levels, and individual personalities. Some dogs want to play nonstop, while others just want a calm companion and a good walk. I'm comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I'll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, enrichment, and affection while also keeping safety my top priority. I'll also send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.

I also provide regular updates so you always know how your pets are doing. I have a flexible schedule and am available for drop-in visits throughout the day, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings.

I care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable and secure. I also have a fenced-in yard for safe, supervised outdoor time if needed for dogs. During each visit, I make sure food and water are fresh, litter boxes or potty breaks are handled, and your pet gets attention based on their personality. I follow all care instructions closely, keep your home secure, and provide regular updates so you can feel confident while you’re away.

About: Hi, I'm Ava! I have a deep love for all animals and years of experience caring for many different types of dogs and cats.

My schedule is incredibly flexible, giving me plenty of open time to dedicate to your pets whenever you need an extra hand! Whether you are working a long shift, running errands, or heading out of town for vacation, I tailor my visits to match your pet's exact routine: Mid-Day Dog Walking: Is your pup bursting with energy during the workday? I'll come by to get them moving, burn off some energy, and break up their day with a fun, refreshing walk. Puppy & Kitty Drop-In Visits: From playful kittens to energetic puppies, I provide dedicated check-ins to handle feeding, fresh water, quick potty breaks, litter box scooping, and plenty of love and attention.

About: I am a Registered Veterinary Technician at a shelter I used to volunteer for, and have had my own dogs and cats my entire life. I’ve recently gone part-time and would enjoy walking your pets or stopping in for those needed potty breaks. I used to walk dogs for the shelter I now work at. I also foster animals for them, most dogs and puppies. I work at the shelter Thursdays and Fridays. I am available other days of the week on a part-time basis. I don’t have preferred days in mind at this time. I will certainly follow all instructions provided and will treat your pet as my own while in my care. I will respect and properly care for your home environment.
About: I’ve spent all of my life around dogs — big and small! I assisted in caring for my family’s senior German Shepherd and trained a reactive Pit Bull mix puppy. I have had experience with dogs of different breeds and ages for years! I currently work a day job, but my time is extremely flexible and I some days even get to work from home or choose when I work! Just message me with any schedule concerns, we can ALWAYS work something out. Dogs and cats are not just pets to me, but also my best friends. They deserve to be cared for just as you would care for your own friends! My old dog was very high-energy, so I am used to spending a lot of time getting that energy out! My time with your furry friends will be filled with training, playing, exercising, and fun!
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my whole life since majority of my family members have them. I used to have the responsibility of feeding and providing potty breaks for my grandparents dog. Now I have a cat of my own. I’m currently working full time, so I typically only have Thursday-Saturday to look after your pets. More than happy to try and make any time work for those days! As a longtime pet owner and animal lover, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets and your home. Having cared for my own cat and looked after animals for many years, I know how to create a safe, calm, and comfortable environment while respecting each pet’s unique needs and routine.
About: I have had dogs my whole life! People have called me an “animal lover” since I was very young. Sometimes, spending time with animals is more enjoyable to me than spending time with people. I have a lot of energy to play and run and cuddle with your doggos! I am open, enthusiastic, silly, playful and fun with humans and with dogs :) I will treat your dogs as my own. I can’t think of a more rewarding way to spend my time than being loving and kind to your dogs while you are away. My schedule is flexible and I am a very understanding person who will follow your instructions thoroughly. I am confident in my ability to walk and take care of dogs! I am wide open and ready to hang with your dogs! I want this to be my full time job, so i am leaving my schedule open to accommodate accordingly :) I have 2 dogs, one is 3 and the other is 6. I walk them atleast twice a day, play fetch often, and cuddle them 24/7. I make sure they have the best food and that they are happy and healthy :) It's my main purpose in life. Spending time and taking care of and playing with animals is pure bliss to me. It is an honor to know them and love them. I basically give them all my time and energy. I dont usually spend more than 4 hours away bc i dont want them to be lonely. I will do the same with your babies.
About: I’ve cared for dogs for several years, including my own pets as well as dogs for family and friends. My experience includes daily walks, feeding, playtime, giving medications when needed, and making sure pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, ages, including energetic puppies and older dogs who need a slower pace. I pay close attention to each dog’s routine and personality so they feel safe and cared for. I understand the importance of consistency, exercise, and affection, and I’m committed to providing reliable care while keeping pet owners updated along the way. Pet care fits easily into my daily summer routine because I enjoy being active and spending time with animals. I’m able to plan my schedule around walks, drop-ins, and making sure pets get the attention and care they need. I’m reliable with routines like feeding, potty breaks, exercise, and check-ins, and I make sure each pet gets the time and care they’re used to. In my client’s home, I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions. I make sure pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment and give them plenty of attention while their owner is away. I also send updates and photos so owners know their pet is doing well. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean space with plenty of supervision, regular potty breaks, exercise by going on walks or playing in our large gulley fenced in yard. I make sure pets feel comfortable and cared for, just like they would at home.

“What can I say about Kristie? She was incredible with my pup. He’s a bit of a finicky boy, and this was his first experience not at a kennel while dad was away. After asking great questions to get an understanding m, we did a meet and greet and Reggie seemed to enjoy, so we went ahead with the booking. Throughout my 7 day trip, I got plenty of updates and pics (peep the gallery). Kristie took the time to get to know the pup, checked in with me to get insights, and tailored her interactions and expectations to match my goober’s needs. 10/10 recommend, and hope to rebook whenever I need a sitter!”

About: I provide personalized pet care for dogs and cats of all ages — from high-energy pups who need plenty of walks and playtime to senior pets who appreciate slow strolls and calm companionship. My services include drop-in visits, walks, and overnight boarding, each tailored to your pet’s unique needs, habits, and comfort level. I believe great pet care is built on trust- which means reliable communication, prompt updates, and lots of adorable photos. You’ll always know how your pet is doing while you’re away! I’m known for being responsive and detail oriented, with a strong reputation for consistent five star experiences. ⭐ Senior pets hold a special place in my heart, but I truly love them all- from first wags to grey muzzles. I understand how hard it can be to leave your pets, so I care for them as if they were my own. Whether you need daily walks, weekend boarding, or gentle senior support, I’ll make sure your pet’s tail (or purr) tells you how loved they are when you return. 🐾 Pet care is my full time focus. My flexible schedule means I can offer consistent walks, drop ins, and overnight stays. I’m typically most available Sunday through Wednesday, but I’m happy to adjust if your travel or work week shifts. Reliability and adaptability are my top priorities!

My home is also pet-friendly, safe, and full of positive energy. Pets in my care get attention, enrichment, and affection- never just supervision!
