About: I’ve grown up with all types of dogs. In high school I volunteered at my local shelter and grew to love cats too. Senior pets are my favorite, but I love all animals big or small! I’m currently working a part time job so I’ll have plenty of time to hang with your pets! Also available for in-house pet sitting as needed Happy to pet sit at your place overnight or just walk and hang out with your pets! I love the company of pets, dogs and cats alike, and will make sure they get the enrichment they need.

Highly recommend to anyone looking for a dog walker. I'm moving otherwise I would of kept on using her. Thanks Laura!”
10. Isabel M.

11. Juliet R.
About: Having gotten my own dog, I have become very well rounded in both puppy training as well as dog care in general. I have also helped in the training and care of my neighbors rescue whenever needed! I love to understand the personality of the dog and their stories! I’m a medical student with some free time as I am now at the end of my academic education. As a result, I have lots of availability and flexibility to work with you and your schedule! I am adaptable to the schedule of your choosing. If you have a fenced-in yard and would prefer potty breaks there with play time, that’s fine by me, or if you prefer a walk around the neighborhood I can also do that! It’s really up to you and what you are comfortable with!
12. Elizabeth C.
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Elizabeth is a great Pet walker and sitter. She has walked Toby every day for the past week, she is always on time to pick him up and he is always ready and happy to see her. After his walk he goes peacefully to sleep for a few hours so he is definitely getting exercise during the walk. She is flexible with the schedule and is open to changes. We will definitely use her services again. Thank you!”
13. Amanda P.
“Amanda won our senior dog’s heart. We appreciated her photos and updates after walks.”
14. Priscila P.
“Priscilla was excellent with my very reactive (but sweet) beagle. I get nervous with people walking my dog because I love him so much and he can be A LOT to handle for some, but I could tell right away that Priscilla is nice and patient. She’s a clear animal lover. I just had a newborn so it’s tough to walk both baby and dog at the same time so happy to have her during this season of life to show my dog some love. He came back in a super good mood and I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again.”
15. Jai & Erica A.
“Jai was great! He walked Luke today and our puppy came home happy, well exercised and tired. We look forward to having Luke walk with Jai again”
16. Bryan P.

About: I have over 8 years of experience and became a dog mom myself 5 years ago after I adopted my Cavachon, Alex! I am extremely gentle and will make sure your pup feels right at home. If you prefer for Alex not to be at my home during your pups visit for comfort, we can make it happen! Please let me know in advance so I can arrange accordingly. I can be flexible as my work schedule is hybrid with half my week remote and the other in office. Please message me to discuss your needs and will work with you to accommodate. As a dog mom myself, I have plenty of toys, bowls for food and water, a crate (small dog size), treats (with parent approval, of course!), and allow dogs on couches and beds. There is plenty of greenery, dog park, and open air space in my complex that allow for enjoyable walks!
