I highly recommend her and would definitely use her again. Thanks, Mya!”

About: I’ve loved dogs my whole life and have raised mine from puppies. I’ve also happily walked, house-sat for, and boarded friends’ dogs in times when I didn’t have one of my own. I’m planning a career transition and will be working on a personal creative project, so I will have a flexible schedule to respond to pet parents’ needs during busy work days. Regular walks are important for a happy and healthy pup! When I walk my own dog, I follow routes that will keep us both safe and am always careful in any interactions with other dogs, especially if we don’t know them. I’d do the same for your pet and abide by any specific instructions you might have!
“Kaitlyn is the BEST! I would’ve been lost without her care and support this summer for our cat, Rosie. Kaitlyn was reliable, communicative, friendly, and so knowledgeable about cats (I’m a newbie cat owner.) Thank you Kaitlyn for coming by everyday to take care of Rosie… we’ll miss you! Can’t wait to use your help again soon 💜”

During the weekends, we are generally available for the entire day.

About: I treat every pet like they’re my own, with patience, attention, and genuine care. What sets me apart is my calm and consistent presence, which helps pets feel safe, especially in their own home. I have experience with dogs of all ages, including energetic puppies and senior dogs who need a gentler pace and extra care. I’m available every week day between 10:00 AM and 3:00 PM, which gives me a consistent window to dedicate time and attention to pets. I enjoy being outdoors and staying active, so walking dogs or caring for pets during that time fits perfectly into my schedule. I only offer pet care in the client’s home, where pets feel most comfortable and secure. I make sure to follow any specific routines or instructions provided, including feeding, walking, playtime, and any medications if needed. I also keep the environment clean and give pets plenty of attention and affection so they feel safe and cared for while their owners are away.

From his very large size to his structured exercise routine to his tailored dietary needs, Spencer is able to handle him flawlessly.

I have the highest degree of confidence in leaving my Great Dane in Spencer’s care.”
