“Lizzie was friendly, mindful of my cats' experience, and easy to communicate with. I would completely recommend her; I'll contact her first if I need my cats watched again. I appreciated her updates and photos throughout the day. My cats can be a bit scared when they are in a new place, but Lizzie gave them space to find their spots to chill while they wondered why the heck they were in a new place without me. She cared for them exactly as I would hope when my little ladies are with someone they are unfamiliar with.”

About: I've always had dogs and/or cats in my life, from babies to them aging into seniors. I enjoy all stages. I currently have two dogs, a Labrador and a Westie. I dog sat 2 German Shepards and a mix in my home until recently. I enjoy giving lots of love to cats and dogs, young or old. I'm experienced giving medications as well.

If I commit to taking care of your animals then I will be there. I will keep the pets routine to reduce stress. Meeting with the clients prior to my visit to learn the routines is important to me.

“Nancy was wonderful! We are here in Newport with our small children for a little get away. We wanted to take the kiddos to the aquarium and do other things Moose couldn’t come along for. We didn’t want to have to leave him in the car. I found Nancy, and I am so glad I did. She was quick to respond and easy to communicate with. Moose felt comfortable right away. She sent pictures during the day with a little update and he came back a tired and happy boy! 100% recommend, thank you Nancy!”
“Even in last minute request, she accept us and well take care of my babies🤍 My little one looks had fun with friend(lizzie’s family dogs) while big sis being anxious😅 I believe my girl will enjoy next time!”
“We needed doggy day care for our two dogs and Joe was wonderful with communication from the start to the end. Send updates and videos. Happy we found someone local to watch our pups. Will be using him for boarding our dogs for few days soon! Thanks!”
“Wendy accommodated our last minute request (literally the evening before) when we had a whale tour booked but learned dogs could not be unattended in our air bnb. She did great - making us and Thor feel comfortable leaving him with her. I’d gladly recommend Wendy to anybody local or visiting the area to watch your pup!”

“Naomi has been an absolute gift as a dog walker for Trinity. From the very beginning, she has been reliable, professional, and genuinely caring. It’s clear that she doesn’t just walk dogs—she truly loves and understands them. Trinity is always excited to see Naomi and comes back from every walk happy, relaxed, and well-exercised. Naomi pays close attention to Trinity’s needs and personality, and I always feel confident knowing she’s in such capable and compassionate hands. As Trinity’s mom, my peace of mind means everything, and Naomi delivers that consistently. Her communication is excellent, and the updates are thoughtful and reassuring. She treats Trinity as if she were her own, which means the world to me. I trust Naomi completely and recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for a dependable, kind, and outstanding dog walker. Trinity and I are incredibly grateful for her.”

About: Owner of a Siberian husky for over a decade. Have trained her since she was a puppy. She is now a senior and requires minimal walks compared to when she was young. She gets along with cats really well and is around farm animals frequently. Working 40 hours a week while managing pet care is essential, I am able to work around my schedule as fit for the animal's needs. Please inform me if any needs are requested to make sure everything, like fresh water, is taken care of. I offer care at the clients home, which I have experience in. I am usually in the same room as my pets, so I will often be in the same area with your pet while they are under supervision. Please inform me at least a day in advance for booking.
