“I can’t say enough great things about Maia. She walks my dog Lexi every day. Lexi ADORES her and she sends tons of pics and gives me detailed info about the walk. Lexi couldn’t be in better hands.”
“Xiaoting was so great with our dog while we were out of town! He even responded immediately and offered to help when a family member couldn’t figure out our door code late at night. We are super grateful!”
“I cannot speak more highly of Eleanor! She took such good care of my pups, is an incredible communicator, and responded so well when one of my dogs had an emergency. I would leave my dogs in her care any day!”
“Natalia was very patient with my older dogs and flexible in finding a time to schedule a first walk so she could meet them before I was away.”
“Haowen has been an INCREDIBLE help! He was very thorough in our initial meet and greet to understand my dog and her needs, taking extra time to do commands and let her feel him out. My bulldog has taken to him right away, and he has been very patient as she adjusts to my work schedule. He is quick to respond, gives updates about every walk, and eases my mind about leaving my girl in his care while away. Haowen is very professional and kind and I am lucky to have him as my walker now on a weekly cadence !”
“Kean has been absolutely wonderful! He truly goes the extra mile in all aspects! Whether it’s looking up key words because my dog is trained in German, spending extra time with him outside, or making sure he warms up to him, Kean truly does it all. He is hands down the best walker I’ve found, and am so appreciative of all he does! You can’t go wrong choosing Kean!”

I also worked on a farm for a number of years so have taken care of chickens, goats and horses. I have experience working with both small and large dogs, young and old. The smallest dog I’ve pet sit for was a teacup terrier and the largest a black lab/chow mix. I regularly pet sit for friends and families animals, especially my roommate’s cat who i started watching when she was a kitten. I love playing with the younger cats and dogs and taking long walks. I also have experience walking cats if you have an adventure cat!

About: I've taken care of dogs, cats, fish and lizards for friends and family since I was 15 (now 21). I have experience caring for high-anxiety/reactive pets and am comfortable with animals of all sizes and demeanors. I am committed to learning your pet's boundaries and treating them with respect and care! I am home for the summer after graduating and am looking to spend time caring for animals of all shapes and sizes! I am very active and tend to go on long walks, which I would love to take your dog along for. I am comfortable reading and responding to animals' body language and cues. I will NEVER subject your pet to something that would cause them discomfort or harm, and will work hard to earn their trust during my time with them. I love getting to know animals and building a relationship with them!

“Teanna has been pet sitting for me over the past couple of years now, and she takes wonderful care of my two cats when I'm away. I can tell she doesn't just feed them and clean up after them, but she has built a bond with both of them. My cats have different personalities and Teanna knows exactly how to care for them and their needs. One of my cats is very anxious and will bite or scratch when she gets overwhelmed. My cat tends to hide from most people, but Teanna is so kind and patient with her. She observes how my cat behaves and reacts, and is mindful of that during their interactions. Teanna is trustworthy, responsible, and absolutely loves animals. Both of my cats adore Teanna, and your pets will too.”
