About: Hello! I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, so I am very familiar with what it takes to care for pets! I love animals, and currently have a cat and dog of my own. I am currently working a full time job during the work week, but have plenty of free time on most weekends! I keep my schedule on here updated as much as possible. I spoil my own pets, and will care for yours just the same. I am able to give medicine if needed, and can care for young and old pets.
“Emma has been wonderful with Stella and very understanding of my hectic schedule. We’re a regular now!”
About: I grew up on a farm with dogs. We had hunting dogs, working dogs, and lap dogs. Sometimes those were all the same. I learned how to connect and work with dogs at an early age and have never been without a dog in my life. Whenever my friends need help, they always ask me first. My current dog is a female goldendoodle that I love very much and I’ll be sure to show your pet the same care! I’m currently in grad school so my schedule is pretty flexible depending on the week. Weekends are usually my most open time, but I’m also free to do walkings and boardings during the week. I have a large fenced in back yard with plenty of space to run around. Inside, there’s plenty of place for your dog and mine and they should get along quite well. My dog does not have a mean bone in her body. If needed, I can separate your pet during feeding etc, as I have a gate to block off sections of the house.
“Lido loves Hannah! He is so excited to see her every day! I cannot mention her name before she arrives because he get himself into a tizzy! 😂”
About: Hey there! I have lived with dogs and cats for most of my life and always plan to. I currently have a senior husky and frequently foster dogs from our local rescue. I have also pet sat friends’ and neighbors’ pets over the years. I have experience with dogs of all ages. My senior pup takes daily medications so I am comfortable with providing oral medications if needed for your pet. I currently work from home full time so I am easily accessible in our pet loving neighborhood! I currently take my own pups on walks multiple times a day. I am easily able to pick up your pet for a walk or stop by the house to check in multiple times a day if needed. At my home, I have a fenced in backyard where pets are able to easily go out to use the restroom frequently or play fetch! I also am able to crate pets if needed as I have one medium sized crate. I work from home so I am able to easily keep an eye on the pets in my care.

“Donut was very happy to hang out with Amy. She was on time and dependable.”
“Sasha is a great Rover walker and I highly recommend her services to anyone! My dog Hazel is very shy with everyone she meets, but she immediately took a liking to Sasha and now every time she comes by to take Hazel on a walk, Hazel looks ecstatic in every picture that Sasha sends me from the walks. It makes me happy to know that my dog is in good hands while I'm away during the day, so I highly recommend booking her for any of your pet needs.”
“Madeline was amazing! She kept me up to date on my dog and sent the best pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind! It made such a difference knowing my pup was in such caring hands! Will definitely be booking again!”

About: I love dogs and care passionately they are having a fun and safe time when with me, which is why so many of my friends and families throughout the years have asked me to take care of their loved ones! I currently working from home, so I have plenty of time to play with your dogos! I'm available to walk dogs from 9:00a-7p everyday of the week. I have a large fenced in backyard. I can crate your dog if needed. Sadly, at this time I have no dogs of my own. :(
About: I grew up with all sorts of animals, but don’t have the schedule flexibility to have my own full time. By providing services for folks who also don’t I get to care for animals and help people. It’s the best of both worlds I work from home two days a week where I am flexible to help out with daily needs and most weekends I stay around the area and am opening to offering my home and help to those that travel and need someone to look after their four legged family members I do not have a crate. If one is required please provide it for overnight stays. Otherwise I’m happy to get up and stroll so your pets can get the exercise they need throughout the days
“Melanie was so kind and sweet to my little dog. I really appreciated her helping me out so last minute when I had a cancellation. I’m sure Donut will be excited to see her again next time”

George S.
“I lived with George for a year while we were in the Navy. Whenever I was gone, he was always enthusiastic to take over dog-dad duties, sometimes for months at a time. George worked with my australian shepherd, Rocky, and my great pyrenees, Shaq. That's a lot of dog to handle but he always nailed it and I honestly think they preferred him. He was always sure to keep me posted on their activities and if he ever needed to take them to a vet. A couple years later, we found ourselves living together again, still in the Navy. Now I had a new lab puppy, Vesper, and that's a tough task to handle a puppy while coming and going with the Navy. George stepped up again and basically single-handedly trained my dog because I was gone about 75% of the time. He would send me emails while I was out to sea about how well Vesper was coming along and some of the bad habits he was trying to train out of her. Now she's a two year old and I've never seen a more well behaved dog. Wish I had George around for all the dogs I've ever had. The guy just has some kind of magic with the dogs that I can't explain. They love him and he seems to be able to get through to every dog I've ever seen him around. If you book with George, you're essentially getting way more than your money's worth because the dog will appreciate his time and effort as much or more than you will.”
