“I could not recommend Hillary enough! She is kind, patient, communicative and takes the best photos of the best adventures 🥰 She is the perfect choice for someone to trust with your pet!”
About: While I've never owned a dog myself, my love of them has extended out to others. I have experience walking and helping care for dogs dating back to high school when I would help care for our family friends' dogs in the Summer. I was also a volunteer dog walker during my senior year of college, walking a then 8-month-old puppy in the Fall and an older Dachshund in the Spring. I have experience with both younger and older dogs, and am more than happy to help walk yours! I work a 9-5 with a hybrid work schedule requiring me to be in the office every other week. Weekends will tend to be the best days for me but I am flexible and can work with you for weekdays if necessary. I am someone who does not mind pets being around me at all times. I am always responsive to needs and will strive to make sure your pet is always happy.
About: After booking my first dog sitting gig at 14, I've watched and walked all kinds of dogs. Since I grew up with big dogs, great Pyrenees, french mastiffs, I have always had a soft spot for the big guys. After my family got a small schnoodle, I love lap dogs as well. Most dogs I've watched/walked have been between 3-8 years old but I have no trouble adjusting to the excitement of a puppy or the leisure of an older dog. Since I have a lot of time on my hands, I am dedicated to taking care of your pet as if they were my own. I am currently taking online classes so my schedule is very flexible! I am available starting at 8am during weekdays and 10am on weekends. I can easily adjust my schedule to whatever your pup needs I live in a spacious 2 bedroom apartment with no pets of my own. I have an enclosed balcony great for surpervised sun bathing. I have no yard but I love any exuse to go on a long walk or a dog park.
About: Hello I am Dongfang (Hana)! I’ve taken care of cats and dogs (from mini poodle to Great Dane, from puppies to senior dogs) since I was little. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to take care of their pets. Overnight boarding is cat only! I have two cats. Pet care is a significant part of my daily routine. My daily or weekly routine is flexible to accommodate the specific needs of each pet. I provide both in-home and client's home services. In my home, pets enjoy a pet-friendly environment with regular walks, playtime. At a client's home, I follow the pet's normal routine to minimize disruption, including walks, feeding times, and any specific care instructions. Safety and comfort are my top priorities in both scenarios.
“Highly recommend Marina! She did great with our lab. She offered to come for a meet and greet, asked all the right questions and updated us with pictures from the walk. Captain was happy to see her the next day for a second walk!”

Shawn is truly passionate about pets and pet care. I've never felt so relaxed being away from dog! Shawn truly goes the extra mile- she noticed that Westley had figured out the tricks of the food puzzle I bought for him so she brought him an even harder puzzle from her home. She was incredibly reliable and responsive, and was even able to add an additional visit when my flight got delayed. As a side note, she also sends the cutest pictures!
Maria was great with our dogs and also communicating with my in-laws, with whom we’d left our dogs while we were away. This is our second time using Maria to walk our dogs (first time over December break) and we hope to continue working with Maria over the years as she is reliable, warm and communicative. Thank you, Maria!
Julia is great with our dog Blue! She is very friendly and enthusiastic, and has a genuine interest in the well being of animals. I appreciate her communication before and during dog walks and I trust her to provide quality care for our pup. We will definitely book her again!
Aaron has been one of our regular sitters since we adopted our dog in March at 12 weeks old and he has always been communicative, flexible, patient and genuinely seems to enjoy what he does. It has been great to have someone reliable and consistent as our puppy passes the 6 month mark and is getting much bigger. He's turning into such a wonderful dog, in part because of the support of a team of people like Aaron who does what he does. We'd highly recommend him to others.
