“Adrian has been a wonderful companion to Beckett for the last few weeks. She is calm and happy, punctual, and takes great care of him on their walks! I look forward to working with Adrian for as long as she is willing and able!!”
“My dog loves Reza more than me. I’m not sad about, but I’m not-not sad about it. He goes from there’s no way I’m going to do anything but nap here all day, to OMG is that Reza!?!? the moment he realizes Reza is at the gate.”
“Sabrina was very communicative and it was easy to schedule a walk for my pup with her! Even though it was a short walk, she went above and beyond to make sure Gunther enjoyed his time with her.”
“Christian stuck with supporting my anxious rescue on his first walk with a stranger. Really appreciate him communicating with me during the first visit and staying with my pup until the pup was ready to let him take him for a walk.”
“great communication - easy to work with - will rebook for sure”
“Deanna is awesome and was super accommodating to my schedule. She takes great care of my 3yr old Aussie. We’ll definitely continue to book with her!”

“Kinsley does a wonderful job caring for my dog Sunny and taking him for a walk 3 days a week while I’m in the office! She is always so communicative, on time, and professional, and it gives me peace of mind to know that Sunny is well looked after!”
About: I have walked dogs for my family and friends as well as neighbors when I was younger. I don’t have my own dog in my life yet so I would love to get more time with yours when I have free time. It’s a win win win, I get to see more dogs, your dog gets more walks, you can relax more! I have two cats at my apartment so pet sitting would have to be at your house either overnight or spend the days there. I currently work full time remote but can offer walks during the day. Around lunch time I can take longer walks up to an hour. Before 830 am I am available for walks in the morning and after 5 pm. Schedule can vary but can work around my schedule for your pup generally. Weekends I am also available to walk and dog sit! I can travel to your home and pet sit for you while you’re away! And keep your home just as it was when you left!
“Kristen was great with our dog! She quickly became friends with our dog and I felt comfortable with him in her care.”
“Sarahjane is punctual, communicative, caring and responsive. We appreciate that she took an interest in learning about our dog’s quirks and behavior. She was also quick in picking up the specific cues and was able to effectively communicate with and lead our 70-lb dog. Our dog came back happy and we’re looking forward to having Sarahjane walk our dog more often!”
“Stacey is great. I highly recommend her. I felt completely confident she would communicate with me and take good care of my beloved for-legged friend.”
“Willow is timely, responsible, and communicative. Marshmallow is happy to walk with her. :)”
About: Hi my name is Sarah! I work in the veterinary medicine field as a veterinary assistant and have a lot of experience working with cats and dogs, as well as other animals like goats, sheep, and even alpacas! I have two cats currently and have grown up with dogs. I love spending time with animals, and would love to meet your furry friend!:) I'm currently working part-time in a clinic, so I have plenty of time to spend with your furry friend! I am free most weekends, so I am available if you need me. I live in a three-story townhouse, with plenty of space for my kitties to roam and lots of sunshine to bathe in. They are living their best life.
“Dasha took great care of my senior beagle! She was very communicative and sent great pictures from their walks. I will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future :)”
About: Hi there， my name is Bast! Thanks for considering my service. Having two cats and a dog myself changed my life. They are my families. I make sure I respect their own petsonalities. No matter it means more space, more cuddle time, or more fun out time. I make sure they have not only their basic needs met, but also enjoy the best life they can get, a home with full of love. Attention to detail help me capture any abnormal behavior the soonest. I’ll try my best to provide a worry-free experience. And thank you for considering me to help take care of your baby. The honor is all mine. Did I forget to mention that I’m also a photographer? You will get bunch of the cutest photos of your baby as a gift for free as well! My partner is at home 2/5 per week. Usually on Monday and Friday. I’m home usually before 10am and after 5:30pm on weekdays. At least one day at home on Weekend. I live in an apartment with good security system. Bunch of cat and dog toys. Clean and well organized with Blueair purifier to make sure they have the best home possible for their health.
About: I have fostered kittens multiple times, and have always grown up around animals! I currently have two elderly cats of my own. (Though a dog is hopefully in my future!) Since I was a child we always had a house full of pets: dogs, cats, snakes, lizards, tarantulas, scorpions, frogs - you name it. As an artist, animal portraiture is one of my specialties and I love capturing an animal’s personality. :) I work from home twice a week, and live in a super safe and walkable neighborhood, right near Dog Yard! Would love to work your family member into my schedule. While I do have two cats, my apartment splits into two. Your pets comfort is always my first priority, whether at my home or yours. I will always follow your instructions as you know your pet best.

“Paula was super responsive and showed up promptly for her walks with Brandy. We got very detailed cards after each walk and Brandy was a happy pup when we got home. We’ve already booked Paula for future walks and dog sitting!”
