“Thomas has helped bring peace to an already anxious buddy going through a tough time. 5 year old sweet yet anxious toy poodle lost his lifetime owner and moved to new city unexpectedly to join me. He’s scared of elevators and typically does not like new people, and with the combo I thought he wouldn’t allow anyone to take him out. Thomas coaxed him out to walk and pee and one week into new home and two walks with Thomas, he is showing signs of adjusting well, happy eating well and no accidents at home. In no small part thanks to Thomas’ skill and care.”



“Jen is great! She is communicative and sends lots of photo updates. You can tell she truly cares and Murphy loved his walks with her! Highly recommend! Thanks again Jen!”


“Paola is OUTSTANDING! There are few I could trust with my special-needs dog, and Paola is at the top of the list. Perfect attitude and perfect service. Highly recommend!!!”


“Eva is doing great with my lab-mix that is still under a year old. She communicates her schedule and notifies when she starts and finishes the walks. Thank you for all your help Eva.”


About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 10 years of petsitting experience. I’ve had pets my whole life and understand that they are truly part of the family. I have experience with senior pets and administering basic medication. I primarily work from home so my schedule is very flexible. I’m available to give your pets all the time, love, and attention that they deserve! I am extremely detail-oriented and will follow all your directions closely. I take the time to observe your pets’ behavior and ensure they are comfortable. I also have a reliable car should an emergency situation arise.

About: I have 4 years of experience as a reliable and caring dog walker, providing daily walks, exercise, and companionship for dogs of all breeds and sizes. I prioritize each pet’s safety, well-being, and routine, and have built strong relationships with both pets and their owners through consistent, trustworthy care. I am a recent grad school graduate and I am available to walk your dog when it fits your schedule. I have a flexible schedule to help walk, watch and care for your dog but I am mainly available during the weekdays. I care for the dogs I watch as if they were my own—making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable at all times. I follow their individual routines, including feeding, walking, and any special instructions from their owners. I provide plenty of playtime, attention, and affection, and I always monitor their behavior to ensure they're happy and healthy. Whether it’s a quick walk or extended pet-sitting, I aim to create a stress-free experience for both the dogs and their owners.

“Ya Lun is wonderful! I was working from home once when she came to walk my dog, and I saw how happy my pup was to see her ❤️. Ya Lun is extremely reliable and communicative. She puts alot of effort into engaging with the pets. She even tried bacon-flavored bubbles for my pup, who is uninterested in toys. I will continue to schedule with Ya Lun as long as she is available. Thank you, Ya Lun!”

About: I’ve been a dog sitter for friends and family for over 7 years. I love dog walking and giving dogs the opportunity to sniff and play during their time outside. I also am a cat mom and cat whisperer. My family has 5 cats and I have 1 so I am very well versed in understanding cat body language and boundaries. I work remotely and have a lot of down time between my meetings. My work schedule is pretty flexible and I am able to take some time off during the day if need be for pet care. I live in an apartment, with many parks around me for dog walks. I have a balcony in my apartment and am vigilant to never let animals out there for safety purposes.

“Albedardo has been great with my kids (dogs). He provides great communication and is very considerate. The staff within my building have commented on his professionalism and how well he handles my kids. I will definitely continue requesting his services.”
