About: I have loved walking, hiking and taking care of dogs with my trusty canine by my side. First there was Bing our black lab and then sweet Molly (golden) and now Ivy (another golden). We would love to tire your dog out. I generally run two to three walks per day starting at 9 then 11:30 and 1:30. I take 3 to 5 dogs hiking with my golden Ivy. I am also happy to do pop ins and leash walks. I am available for feedings and tuck ins as needed and find dogs are the most comfortable in their homes when not out walking or hiking. I am happy to give meds or anything else your pet needs when you are away for an extended period of time.
About: I’m not just a dog lover—I’m a proud dog mom of 9 years! I know how much your pup means to you because I feel the same way about mine. I bring the same care, attention, and love to every walk and drop-in as I do with my own dog, Dobby. I currently have a hybrid work schedule and work from home Mondays and Fridays. So Mondays and Fridays are pretty open. Tuesdays and Thursdays I would be available after 6pm so please feel free to message me if interested. Weekends I am available! When I drop in to care for your pet, I treat your home and your furry friend with the same respect and love I give my own. I always follow your care instructions closely—whether that’s feeding, potty breaks, playtime, or medication. I keep things calm and comforting for your pup, so they feel safe and happy.
“Thank you so much Staci for taking care of our cat while we were gone for the weekend! Staci was kind enough to help us out last minute. Our cat was on liquid antibiotics and Staci administered the medicine like a pro. She kept us up to date with messages and pictures; I knew Nell was in good hands! I would definitely reach out to Staci when we need a sitter in the future :)”

“We used Karin for a drop in visit when we were gone for the day. She was wonderful with my nervous dog. Happy pup, happy owner! We hope to have her come again next time we are away.”
About: I have had pets since the age of six and have regularly taken care of them. I’ve had both cats and dogs. My experience walking dogs ranges from toy poodles to golden retrievers. When I’m home from school I regularly feed and walk my dog. I was responsible for training her to use the bathroom as well as her manners. I am very attentive to the pets needs, if the dog needs to go on a walk or something to eat, I give it the assistance it needs.
“Courtney did a great job! She was incredibly communicative throughout the entire time, sending regular updates and adorable pictures that reassured me my kitties were in great hands. Not only did she make sure they were well-fed and comfortable, but she also took the time to play with them, which I know they loved. It was clear that Courtney genuinely cared about my cats and their happiness. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
