About: I saw this quote that said, “Listen, I am not a cat or a dog person, I am an animal person. I would pet a crocodile if I knew it wouldn’t eat me.” This quote spoke to me on a personal level😂 My boyfriend and I live in a townhome and both will help out with the pups! We can’t wait to hopefully work with you and give alllll our love to your fur babies❤️ I have a very flexible schedule during the week allowing me to work around anything usually. My boyfriend works full-time Monday through Friday but has a one hour break each day. We have a miniature pinscher/fox terrier mix pup whose name is Scout and then we have Hughie, our spaniel mix rescue, and they absolutely love other animals.

“Delany was so great with my dog, Whisky. My husband and I needed a dog walker for a week while I was out of town and he was working. She was always on time, sent lots of pictures, quick to respond, and Whisky enjoyed his daily walks. We will be calling Delany again next time we need any dog walking!”


About: Hello! I’ve had a love for animals since I was young. I have two dogs, 2 year old male Havanese (Blue), and 4 year old female Lab (Belleray). I enjoy spending time with all dogs, and learning things about different breeds. I currently train my own dogs, and have grown so much over the years as a patient dog parent/trainer. I work from home and am able to care for your babies throughout the day. I frequently allow for dogs to go outside for potty breaks and to get zoomies out. I will always respect your needs, and your babies needs. I am able to safely walk your dogs and take them on outings. I am not afraid to get down and dirty to make sure your dog is well taken care of.

“Brittney has been great with my dog and it has been such a huge help to have someone come and walk her while I am not able to! Winnie lays by the door after Brittney leaves, hoping she will come back for another walk, so I have nothing but good things to say about her.”


About: I was raised in a home that had both dogs and cats. I'm the proud dad of a 16 year-old cat. I also have years of experience as a pet sitter for both dogs and cats. I'm on fixed income, so my schedule is very flexible. It's important to me that I have plenty of time to build trust with new furry clients. I strive to create an environment where your animal will feel cherished and comfortable in your absence. I believe that quality 1-on-1 time is critical to keeping your pets stress-free.

“Mia was great!! We recently hired her for a walk so my pup could get to know her a bit before an upcoming house sit. She's been prompt with responding, right on time for the walk and super patient with my dog who is very wary of strangers. Highly recommend! :)”


“Destinee was responsive and took great care of Nemo and the house while we were out of town! Our dog loves to play with Destinee. We appreciated the updates she gave us during her stay. Would highly recommend her services.”


“Audra always gives me peace of mind on our walking days! Our intake visit was really nice. After just a few walks with my dog I could see that she not only listened, but truly understood my dog's needs. I'm not one to usually leave reviews, but Audra goes the extra mile with my dog, and I'm really grateful to have found her on here!”


“Allie has been absolutely wonderful with our dog and was able to work us into her schedule last minute! He gets so excited when his walk/play time in near. Allie is highly recommended.”


About: My entire childhood my aunt who lived with us, bred toy poodles. So, caring for puppies to dogs is my specialty. From feeding to walks, snuggles and play, I do it all with love and care. Since having children, we have discussed fostering dogs and we found this would be the best way to love on some dogs and make an income as a stay-at-home mom of two. I am a stay-at-home mom, so we are available mostly all the time other than drop off and Pickup from school, and can move commitments around fairly easily. I have a fenced in yard, and two young children to run around and play with your fur baby, walk with them and help feed them. We live in a quiet neighborhood with a lot of running space along walking paths.
