“Vicky did daytime walks with our dog Darla while we were on vacation. She did a fantastic job with getting Darla outside as she's been having some anxiety lately about getting out the door. Vicky was also super flexible when Darla was having some diarrhea later in the week and adding on some potty breaks last minute. She got some super cute pictures of our girl as well! I would not hesitate to book Vicky again for walks with Darla!”

“Dakota was so good with our 2 dogs. They both have strong pray drives and the walking trails are thru the woods so it can sometimes be challenging to control them. They warmed up so fast to her and their walks together went really well. She always gave detailed reports of the walks and sent photos….I really like that ? She is a pleasure to talk to and she has a large dog of her own which gives her that experience that only dog “owners” have. I will definitely be recommending her to friends.”

“Kaylee is an A+ animal caretaker! She walks my dog multiple times a week while I work, arrives on time and always sends a photo with an update. I’d recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, trustworthy pet walker/sitter. Five stars all day.”

About: I’ve been in the dog service industry for about 4 and a half years now. I spent the first few training and working at a prestigious dog boarding facility. There I strengthen my skills and knowledge of dog behaviors and body language. The past year I have worked on receiving my CCPDT certification. I am trained to provide a variety of medications as well as handle emergency medical situations. After the last few years pet care has been routine for me. After work I usually let my parents dog out or a dog that is boarding with me. I’ve taken them on walks before my shift in the morning. I always try to make sure that the dogs are mentally stimulated with a puzzle or some sort of enrichment even a walk can not fit into our schedule. I am always mindful of the dog and what behaviors they’re providing me. If they’re not running up to the door with very open loose “happy” body language, I will take my time and give them the space they need to adjust to my presents. A lot of dogs need time to warm up and many people do not give them the needed space to do so and it’s how we end up with these “bad dogs” which they actually aren’t.
“Mary walked my dog Willo (2 years, some puppy energy, 50lb) for three weeks while I was out of town. We had great communication the whole time and Mary was proactive about helping me keep Willo’s paws comfortable in the snow. We had a great experience with her and would book again!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life. We have a 2 year old golden puppy who is treated as if she’s part of the family. She is soo loved and so spoiled. I also worked at a groomers shop so I have a lot of experience with different dogs. I am currently working part time and attending short days at college four days a week. I have a lot of free time though and especially on my weekends I have a lot of time At home my dog has a perimeter collar so she is free to wander about our yard as she wishes. When I am dog sitting I always have the dog on a leash and I stay outside with them the entire time they are outside

About: I’ve had pets my whole life! I’ve had a great range of dogs, from big breeds like Mastiffs and small breeds like Jack Russel Terriers. I’ve also had cats that have ranged from little angels to fluffy devils, so I have experience!! I currently have an old little chihuahua, pictured above, that is very friendly with animals and people! I would love to take her along pet sitting if able to! Outside of my home, I’ve done lots of pet sitting! Much like my own animals, this has been with a large variety as well!! I am looking for some side work! I have a flexible schedule so I can pop in throughout the day to care for the animals! When I am trusted with the care of your pet, that will become my top priority. Pets are more than just pets, they are your best friend and your family. I will be attentive to their needs, and do my best to show them love while you are away.

About: I have worked with herding dogs, guard dogs, sled dogs, service dogs, and pets of all ages. I treat dogs with patience and compassion and believe in training the individual dog in front of me with their owner’s goals at the forefront! I have thousands of hours of hands on experience and countless hours researching training and animal behavior. I am a self-employed artist so my schedule is very flexible. I am happy to go into more detail about my living habits and daily schedule. My dog doesn’t “get into” anything he shouldn’t— including “stealing” his own food and treats, but through experience with my own puppies and client dogs I am well versed in taking extensive precautions to ensure the safety of animals in my home. I will not allow client dogs off leash but I have a 50 foot leash that is excellent for hiking with dogs. I am very observant of potential health issues/injuries. I am happy to expand upon the safety measures I take.
