Jaime was great at accommodating our last minute dog sitting and walking request. She came for a meet and greet and was so flexible! She was able to dog sit for our elderly pups for a few hours and walked them multiple times. We will definitely be using her again!

Carly was great! I had to book her last minute because my dog walker fell through. She was flexible and accommodating and made my time away from home stress free. She always showed up on time and kept me updated about my pup. I would definitely have Carly watch Stella again!

Daisy did a wonderful job taking care of our dog while we were on vacation. She updated us each day with several pics. She was mindful of the heat and avoided walking her by other dogs.

About: I’ve always been the person who stops to say hi to every dog and cat I meet 🐾 I love getting to know each pet’s personality and making them feel comfortable, happy, and loved while you’re away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just someone calm to keep them company, I’m happy to match their routine. I know how important trust is when someone is caring for your pets, and I’ll treat them like my own with lots of love, patience, and photo updates along the way 🐶🐱 I’m a full-time school nurse during the year, and with summers off I’m looking forward to spending my extra time caring for pets too! I’ve always loved animals and have a very flexible summer schedule for drop-ins, walks, feedings, playtime, and lots of attention for your pets while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always want them to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I have two cats of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy and dependable. I’m happy to provide updates, photos, feedings, litter box care, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and extra attention based on your pet’s routine and personality.

Kayla was such a great cat sitter! I was gone for two weeks and she checked in on my Louie every other day (and even watered my plants!). My cat is shy when I’m not around and Kayla was so kind with my Louie and gave her treats and played with her (even though my cat was being very antisocial). She sent me pictures and updates with every drop-in visit. I definitely recommend Kayla as a cat sitter and I will definitely book her again if needed in the future. Thanks so much Kayla!

About: Hi! I’m Erin, and I have over two years of experience working at Lucky’s, an animal boarding facility. There, I cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I dealt with puppies, seniors, and those with anxiety. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, giving medications, and handling high energy or anxious dogs. What sets me apart is my professional background combined with a genuine love for animals. I know how to read dog behavior, respond calmly in any situation, and make sure each pup feels safe and cared for. I treat every dog like family and always strive to create a stress-free, fun experience for both pets and their owners. I work full-time Monday through Friday from 8–5, but I’m fully available on weekends and evenings. I make sure to give pets the attention and care they need before and after work, and I’m especially flexible on weekends for walks, playtime, or overnight care. Even with a busy schedule, I prioritize making pets feel loved, comfortable, and well cared for. I won’t be able to care for pets in my home, as I have an anxious beagle that does not do well with other dogs. As for my clients home, I will follow your instructions carefully to keep their routine consistent and comfortable. I’ll provide fresh food and water, regular exercise, playtime, and lots of affection. I’ll also make sure their space stays clean and safe, and keep you updated with messages or photos so you feel confident and connected while you’re away. My goal is to treat your pet like family and make your home their happy, calm space.

So happy to have found Leanne! We needed a last minute booking for several visits a day for a few days. She was so reliable and took great care of Emma. She even saved a few of our large plants on deck because of high wind. We will surely booking with Leanne again!

Kim was very easy and accommodating, especially since I had a rather last minute (first time using Kim) need for a sitter! She came and met my pups and even helped me when I had some issues with my app! She was very thoughtful and sent lots of pictures and updates! I will definitely be using her again!

About: I began my dog walking service at a young age and have been handling animals ever since. My experience spans from dogs of all sizes and temperaments—from Boston Terriers, Miniature Pinschers to Pit Bulls and European Dobermans. I am skilled in administering medications, supporting senior dogs including with nerve damage, and caring for animals with severe anxiety or high energy needs. What sets me apart is my commitment to thoughtfully creating a personalized, designed daily experience for every animal—prioritizing safety, structure, their enrichment, and genuine care. I work part time which allows me to fully attend to your pup. i have flexible availability during the week and will gladly work with your schedule as needed. In a client’s home, I respect the space as if it were my own- keeping it clean, orderly, and aligned with the dog’s familiar routine to ensure comfort and continuity. I maintain a calm, clean and structured environment which provides a close supervised setting tailored to each dog’s needs. I follow all owner instructions precisely, including feeding schedules, medication administration, exercise routines, and behavioral guidelines. Dogs in my care are never left unattended or put near unsafe situations as they are always secured during walks with properly fitted leashes and harnesses. I conduct controlled, mindful walks being awareness of surroundings, other animals, and traffic. For dogs with anxiety, medical conditions, or special needs, I provide gentle handling, quiet spaces, and consistent routines to reduce stress.

About: Ever since I was little I have been taking care of many animals. I grew up with a cat, and my family adopted a dog five years ago that I helped train! Aside from that, I’ve had chickens, goats, and ducks! I’m a recent college graduate working retail shifts typically at night. I have a flexible schedule and if needed can change things around in order to take care of your pet. Understanding that my presence is different in the pets home, I prioritize making sure they are comfortable with me there and not scared. I aim to make sure they are taken care of and not stressed out in their own home.

Jaime did a great job taking care of our 2 adult cats. She updated us and sent pictures of them daily so we felt confident that they were well taken care of as it was outlet first time using someone other than family. She even came for a preview to meet the kitties and us. We would definitely use Jamie again in the future.
