About: I love taking great care of people's pets so they do not have to worry about their fur babies while away from home. I began pet-sitting as an Airman in the early '90s at Malmstrom AFB MT as a way to earn extra money and get out of the dorms for awhile. Since then I have continued to pet sit for friends and family, and regularly walked my neighbor's dog when I lived in Rapid City. I have two cats of my own. Pre-Covid, I was volunteering at the shelter a couple of times per week to feed & play with the cats, and walk/play with the dogs. You won't be disappointed if you select me as the person who gets to keep your pet happy in your absence! I work full-time but am able to drop in early in the morning, on my lunch hour, or in the evenings. It's important to me that your pets are taken care of in your absence! I will feed, walk, and play with your pup. If we're outside of a fenced area they will always be on a leash. If we're chilling inside I'll usually talk to them or play music while we play to help them feel comfortable. I have cats of my own, so if I'm taking care of your cat I am prepared to be completely ignored by them. :-)
About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all ages and sizes for years, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. I have experience with crate training, leash manners, and helping shy or nervous dogs feel comfortable and safe.

Whether your pup needs extra exercise, gentle cuddles, or special care, I make sure they feel right at home. I also understand the importance of routine and will follow your care instructions closely. Your dog’s safety and happiness are always my top priority! I’m a stay-at-home mom with plenty of free time and a love for animals! Aside from the occasional grocery trip, I’m home all day and would be honored to care for your pup as part of our family. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each dog’s unique needs. Whether it’s playtime, snuggles, or sticking to a special routine, I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved while you're away. In my home, your dog will be treated like part of the family! I provide a calm, clean, and safe environment where pups can relax and feel comfortable. I always supervise playtime and make sure each dog gets plenty of attention, exercise, and love. I follow any special instructions you provide and send regular updates with photos so you can feel confident and at ease. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities!

I’m reliable, responsive, and able to accommodate last-minute or recurring bookings. I care for pets by keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely — feeding schedules, medication needs, crate routines, potty breaks, and preferred playtime activities. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well-supervised, and I always take extra time for love, attention, and enrichment.
