“Very sweet and understanding of my fearful dog! She brought treats and got him comfortable with her before we left for the walk. Milo really like her even though he’s very fearful of people.”

About: I grew up on a farm with all animals ranging from dogs, cats, chickens, horses and cows. I’ve also fostered dogs and cats and had the privilege of watching two cats and one dog have their babies in our home! I’m currently a second year student at LATC and have availability tuesdays and Thursdays after noon along with before my 8am class. Mon, Wed, and Fri are a little more full but I’d love to help out when I can. Weekends vary! I am very experienced around dogs and cats so I am confident I can keep your babies safe. Getting to know your pet is my #1 priority to keep them safe.
About: I am currently a pre-vet student with the hopes of becoming a veterinarian! I have many years of experience not only taking care of my pets but also caring for animals in a clinical setting. I currently attend classes for a few hours each day but would be able to spend the rest of my day on-site if needed! It’s best to enquire about your needs, but 99% of the time, I can make it work! I like to set up a file with my clients that lists essential numbers and contact information in the event of an emergency. I also will take every measure to make sure that your pet is safe by following proper diet protocols and administering medication safely. Lastly, I would treat your home as I would want my home to be treated, with cleanliness being an utmost priority.
About: I've spent decades as a dog dad, raising springer spaniels, golden labs, and black labs – all active, intelligent breeds that need both physical exercise and mental stimulation. I also babysat a beagle every summer for years, so I'm comfortable with different energy levels and personalities. What sets me apart is my empathic approach and genuine understanding of what dogs need. I can read their body language and moods, whether they're anxious, playful, or just need a calm presence. Being retired means I have an open schedule and plenty of time for walks, play sessions, and just hanging out together – your dog won't be squeezed into a busy day. I know that every dog is an individual with their own quirks and routines, and I respect that. Your dog will get my full attention and the kind of care I've given my own pets for years. Being retired means pet care can be my daily routine! I have a completely open schedule with no other work commitments. My days are flexible and built around whatever your pet needs. The beauty of retirement is that I'm not trying to squeeze pet care into lunch breaks or evenings – I can give your pets the time and attention they deserve, whenever they need it. My priority is maintaining your pet's routine and keeping them safe and comfortable. Pets thrive on routine and familiarity. I'll stick to your pet's exact schedule – mealtimes, medications, favorite activities, where they like to sleep – so the only thing that changes is that you're not there. I'm empathic to how pets handle change, so I take time to let them adjust to me at their own pace. I'll treat your home like my home and send you updates so you have peace of mind while you're away.
“Ragan was absolutely wonderful with my dog. She walked her twice as far as I normally do to help burn off some extra energy. She sent pictures while on the walk showing me how the dog was doing. I will definitely be using her again in the future.”

I live on the lake and spend plenty of time swimming and playing fetch in the water.
About: I’ve always had dogs in my life since I was a kid. I even used to show my dog in 4H dog shows! I love any dogs small and big!

I can let them out/take on walks when they need!
