“Melissa was great with my dog, Blaze! She not only provided Blaze with much needed exercise on her daily walks, but she almost always stuck around to give a little tender love and care to our pooch. She also brought in our mail, which was an unexpected perk. I highly recommend Melissa. She is a reliable and loving caretaker of dogs.”
“Joe is a wonderful dog walker! He is reliable and our Ernie loves him. I appreciate seeing the photos and updates and I rest assured that my dog is being well cared for. Thanks Joe.”

About: I got a bichon frise when I was 5 and he lived until he was 13. He was obviously the family dog but I really took on the role of feeding and walking him when I was older. I have helped train and raise both of my brothers dogs, one being a 12 pound cavachon and the other being a 45 pound hound mix. So I have experience with dogs of all ages and sizes. I have also watched family friends' dogs in the past which included boarding for a few days, daily walks and feedings, and also can help with some light training like sit, paw, roll over etc. I absolutely love dogs and would take great care of any dog if given the chance and responsibility!
“Jeanne was great walking our pitbull Mason. Great communication she showed up on time and took Mason on a long walk uphill in the rain. I would 100% use her again. Extremely reliable.”
“We can't say enough wonderful things about Sam. We'd give him a 10 if that was possible! He took such great care of our dog, Cooper. This is the first time in 6+ years, since we got Cooper, that we've ever been away from him overnight, let alone a weekend as we just were. Sam communicated after each visit and sent us pictures, as well. We highly recommend you book him for your dog-sitting needs”
About: I’ve cared for and loved dogs of all ages and sizes my whole life. In addition to fostering several pups over the years, I’m a proud rescue owner! I own my own business and work from home. Currently I am responsible for school drop-offs and pick-ups but am free for pet care throughout the day. I have a fenced in back yard and friendly puppy to keep your dog company. I’m comfortable crating a dog in the home if needed.
About: I’ve had two dogs in my lifetime each for 12 years and I’ve always loved to be around them and to make sure they were safe and felt happy. I treat each pet like family. My reliability, calm demeanor and love for animals make both pets and their owners feel at ease. I will walk the dog everyday and I can board dogs every weekend. I have experience taking care of a French bulldog named Randy. Sometimes I go there to take care of him and other times I bring him to my apartment. I have space in our apartment for the dog to roam around and I live in a safe dog friendly neighborhood in which we can take the dog for long walks near a park and a pond.

About: The highlight of my dog's day is going on his walks, I want to make sure every pup gets to have theirs! Over 5 years of experience walking my own and my friends' dogs of different breeds and sizes. Experience with shy, timid rescues as well, my own dog is a pit/lab mix rescue from Texas and I was able to build up his confidence through regular routine walking! I have plenty of free time during the week to give your pup a quality walk, currently in between jobs so I am available most days. My dog, Bowie gets at least two 20-30 min walks a day with the occasional hike and dog park visit, I love to make sure he is active and having fun with water on hand for hot days or extra long walks to make sure he is hydrated throughout.

Alexa was great! Her and Marley instantly connected, and we had a great walk together as we discussed Marley’s needs and quirks. She was so sweet, kind, and very understanding with Marley. We felt really comfortable with her and appreciated how caring she was. Can’t wait to book with her again!
Monica & Kelvin are HANDS DOWN the best dog lovers around and we trust our 4 year old English bulldog with them all the time. Monica helps us out with dog walks during the day and is so flexible and accommodating to our crazy schedule, which changes every week. And they both do the most amazing job boarding our Wilbur - whether it’s for one night or 2 weeks, I know he’s going to be loved, cared for, spoiled, and safe. And they’re so great at providing plenty of updates and photos to reassure us while we’re away!! I can’t say enough about these two or the warm, happy home they provide when we can’t be with our boy.
We also feel very safe and Emma has been so helpful at helping us book her on the app. Love that she sends pictures of our girl Blu which is refreshing to see and she seems to be very happy. I love seeing the pictures it just ensures shes doing a good job so now we are becoming a regular with re-booking a standing appointment!!

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
