barks + bitsy

08/04/2023

It’s been a tough decision, but as the summer approaches and I get more and more requests, I’ve decided to bring this small pet-sitting operation to an end. My school counseling career has become a major focal point for me, and I need to give it the time and attention it deserves this summer. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your families this past year. I’ll be putting together a list of recommendations of local pet sitters for your reference. ♥️

I picked up Rocket from Stateline Canine today. He says he did great at Good Boy School. I’m so excited to spend the weekend with this handsome guy!

I can’t forget about Roux! He’s a GREAT big brother to Butters. I just love these pups ♥️

His cuteness is effortless. ♥️

*cue o***y explosion* Meet Butters. Pair this guy with Roux and Precious, and you have the perfect Saturday client trifecta ♥️

Gus is just a handsome meat wad of love on four legs. Never have I ever been showered with kisses like those of this gentleman ♥️

High five for Vinny! He’s been the glue that keeps his pack together. Thanks for letting me be your substitute human, sir 💜

Rona was a PERFECT candidate ♥️

Meet Rodger— he’s part of a super fun pack of pups that I get to sit. Fun fact: Roger was born deaf, but you’d NEVER guess that from his behaviors. Perfectly puppy in every way!

The few jobs I have committed to in my off-season have been with the most handsome and snuggleworrthy clientele. Thank you for a great weekend, Murphy!

As a reminder, I can only commit To select Friday (evenings), Saturdays, and Sundays during the school year. Thank you again for trusting me with your pets ♥️

Always a pleasure to be the substitute human for this gorgeous duo. Thanks for a fun evening Zhazzie and Titan! 💜

Just a reminder, I am unable to book overnights and weekday drop-ins during the school year. If you're interested in a weekend drop-in, reach out. If I have availability, I'll make it happen! See you in May 2023!

Blitz! Grinning from ear to ear from the moment we met. This guy’s joy is infectious, and he LOVES the scratches. Thanks for a fun evening, sir!

Meet Riley ♥️— one of the sweetest retrievers I’ve ever met. Happy to share every toy and such great walker!

This is Hazel. She is my cousin, and frankly, the camera loves her. Her hobbies include chasing bunnies 🐰 and playing tuggie. Thanks for letting me hang with you, Hazel! ♥️

Paws up for this guy’s first gotcha day and second birthday! Love ya, Link McStink!

The biggest smile for the rottiest of Rotties. ♥️ Koda

I’m tellin’ ya, the bigger they are, the harder they snuggle. Thanks for the movie date, Murph. 😊

Tucker is the best fetch partner EVER! If this was an Olympic sport, he’d be a medalist… paws down, no contest. 💜

I swear she looks like a painting! Paisley has such a great smile. What a love bug! Thanks for letting me your substitute human! 💜

Murphy could be a calendar pup 💕

19/08/2022

Don’t worry, Zhazzie! I’m tuckered out from our play date too. 😴 ♥️

19/08/2022

My graduate internships begin on Monday, which means barks + bitsy is sidelined. I will still be available some weekends for drop-ins and overnight stays, but message me to confirm availability! Thanks for a GREAT summer of pet wonderfulness! I’ll be back, full force next spring!

19/08/2022

Meet Murphy! He’s a great roommate and and even better fetch partner. Thanks for giving me such a warm welcome, my dude. ♥️

17/08/2022

He’s not a swimmer, but he’s not a bad floater!!

“Please stop watching me chow down.” (Don’t those eyes remind you of Toothless from How to Train Your Dragon?!)

Friends, meet Moxley. He immediately snuggled with me upon my arrival. Although he doesn’t like it when his sister takes his tennis ball, he is an excellent sharer.
