Shanie is very dependable and my dog is excited when I tell him she is coming. It's comforting knowing I don't worry about him so I can get my work done!

Kaley put my mind at ease and treated our furry family members with love and care. She is prompt and the dogs love her walks and tummy scratches. Kaley is my first pick when we need help with our puppies.

Meredith walked our puppy for 3 months and he loved her. She helped so much with his leash training and learning how to heal. I cannot say enough about how much she helped out and how much our dog loves and trusts her. Highly recommend.

About: I am a veterinary assistant and I am currently trying to get into veterinary school. I have the knowledge and experience to keep your pet safe and take action should any issues arise! I currently work full-time Monday through Thursday as a veterinary assistant. I can stop by during my lunch break and after work as needed, and I am available all day Friday-Sunday! I'm happy to accommodate any request that you might have for your pet, as I know that each one is unique and special in their own way!

About: In my years of life, I’ve always had pets. I currently have eight cats of my own and help take care of my parents dog! I rescued ten of my cats throughout my life from living on the street as kittens and raised them from kitten formula to adult cat food. Full time I’m a house cleaner, so I’m surrounded by my client’s pets every single day. They are like my own and it’s the best part of my job. Due to my current unemployment, I am available seven days a week, any time of the day to care for your fur child(ren)! 🥰 please do let me know if your times are flexible. I am available to walk dogs, feed, and play with your pets. I’m even willing to scoop litter boxes and spend time with pets that may experience anxiety being alone all day.

Julie was awesome; It was obvious pretty early during the meet and greet that she has lots of experience with dogs. I felt comfortable with her looking after Moose while I was gone. He looked pretty comfortable with her also. She sent regular updates and check-in photos. Highly recommend

As a new dog caregiver, leaving my adopted pup for the first time, I couldn’t have asked for a better human than Samantha! She was kind, patient, warm and thoughtful with my pup and also with me! She understood my anxiety and was able to give me calm and detailed feedback with each visit. It was only four days away, but it meant the world to me to have someone willing to go above and beyond to make it a success for my pup and for me!

Alexis was absolutely fantastic taking care of my baby Luna! Luna is only 6 months old, has a lot of energy, is not fully trained and I'm sure was a handful for someone to walk in day-one and manage, But she did above and beyond. She brought toys and puzzles, made sure Luna was fed and properly walked. She updated me on how the walks went, when she arrived and left, told me about the other dogs Luna got to meet along the walks and seemed totally joyful and sincere about spending time with my sweet girl. I will be hiring Alexis over and over in the future!

About: I have grown up around pets my whole life and have been trusted with family/friends pets for many years. I am very active and love to play and walk with pets as I have had border collies as family dogs. Having had many, I am familiar with dogs of all ages and understand how each pet differs from one another. I am in between jobs currently and, therefore, have a lot of time on my hands. This leaves a lot of space for pet care throughout the week when I am not traveling. I am willing to be at the client’s home as often as requested to care for the pet. I am very communicative and will send owner updates throughout their time away.

About: I have volunteered at an animal shelter for the past few years. I have experience with training dogs and working with their behavioral issues. I have worked in an animal hospital for a year caring for all the dogs and cleaning up after them. We also had cat boarding, so I have a lot of experience working with cats! I’ve also fostered cats and dogs. This has given me the true experience of caring for a pet. I hate to see dogs kenneled up all day, or have to stay at a facility where they don’t get the tender loving care that they deserve. They deserve one on one attention in their own environment where they feel safe. I promise to provide your dog with the care and attention that they deserve. I’m also a big cat lover, as I have two cats of my own! I do have experience with nail trims and baths, so feel free to ask about that also! I currently have complete open availability! I easily can do quick drop bys to check on your dog or cat! I’m more than happy to stay overnight with them too! I always love an animal like it’s my own. They deserve all the love and attention. Whether it’s a quick walk or let out or an overnight stay, your dog will get lots of love.
