“Jackie was awesome!! She met with us ahead of time and made sure she knew where everything was to ensure a smooth transition the day of the walk.

About: Hi there! My name is Briana, and I’ve been working with animals of all kinds for over 20 years. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do — it’s who I am! I’m happy to care for dogs, cats, horses, birds, small animals, and just about any furry, feathered, or scaled companion you may have. I’ve had animals my entire life and I’m comfortable with all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I treat every animal as if they were my own family. I’ve completed an animal emergency CPR course and spent 4 years working in an animal shelter, growing within the organization until it was time to focus on being a mom. I’m patient, reliable, and truly passionate about animal care — I’d do just about anything to keep an animal safe and happy (safely, of course!). I prefer to schedule a meet-and-greet before any booking so everyone feels comfortable and I can learn your pet’s routine, preferences, and care needs. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll follow your routine closely and make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I have a very flexible schedule and would love to help care for your beloved pets. Feel free to reach out even if you just have questions — I’m always happy to chat. 🐾 I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to provide visits, walks, and pet care whenever you need it. Whether you’re at work, away for the weekend, or just need an extra helping hand, I’m happy to accommodate your schedule whenever possible. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, love, and care during every visit. My goal is to make sure your pets are happy, comfortable, and well cared for while giving you complete peace of mind. I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own. Every pet deserves patience, compassion, love, and individualized attention, and I take pride in providing exactly that. I will always follow your pet’s routine and provide the level of care, attention, exercise, and affection you request, because no one knows your pet better than you do. My goal is to make both you and your pet feel comfortable, confident, and cared for from the moment we meet until you return home. ❤️

“I've been using Yana for the past few weeks because I had to pull my dog out of daycare due to her needing surgery and I can honestly tell you between her flexibility and transparency, Yana has been a great addition to my dogs' life. Her responsive nature and amazing ability to connect with my dogs has been a godsend for me. She is so responsive and I appreciate her report cards so much. My one dog is very reactive and doesn't trust people easily to the fact that she took to Yana so well is amazing. Highly recommend her.”

“Jenna has been amazing! Our pup Betty absolutely loves her, and Jenna is always sure to take some pictures and let us know of anything important. Before starting our regularly scheduled walks, Jenna was kind enough to come for a drop in and meet Betty ahead of their first walk together. She was so kind and understanding, especially as we just moved in to our new place so recently. Jenna is a natural! We’re so happy we found her, and look forward to many more good walks for our Betty! ❤️”
About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was about 11. I’ve had many cats, dogs, rodents, fish and reptiles in my care over the years, yours will be in caring hands! I’m working as a caregiver part time so I have good availability for pet care. Weekdays: early am-4pm Weekends: early am-10pm After hours available in request I start with a meet and greet, either via video chat or in person to make sure we’d be a good fit and take notes on everything you need me to know about caring for your pet.

“Kelly was kindly available for us in the afternoon on Christmas Eve to walk/watch our puppy while we visited some family in the local area. Our pup Wallie usually can't wait to get back to us, but he was not happy when Kelly left. He had a great time and was well exercised making our holiday much easier. We would highly recommend Kelly to anyone. Very easy to work with.”

About: I've had dogs all my life (even though I also love cats & other pets). I've also taken care of friend's & neighbor's pets as well - from tiny Shih Tzus to Pit bulls, everything in between. Some experience with cats as well. I currently work remotelt full-time on weekdays, so I'm flexible during weekdays. My weekends will also be pretty open. Willing to adjust those hours as much as possible to fit in whatever works for the pet owners. I live in a pet-friendly home with plenty of space for dog-walking and some pet parks around me as well. Indoor or outdoor, your pet will have the care you prefer.
About: I worked at a Dog Kennel for a year and have been independently animal sitting on and off since then. I also used to bathe dogs at a dog groomers! I’m a primary contact for many friends who need pet sitting and have several returning clients. I also have 2 dogs of my own, chickens, fish, a bearded dragon and 2 geckos! I’m currently living at home and work at Trader Joe’s so my schedule is pretty flexible. Caring for animals is a nice escape for me so I make time for it! I like to give the animals a lot of love and attention to insure that they’re happy and can see that I’m someone they can trust. I take time to build up their trust to reduce their anxiety.

Madison was absolutely excellent! I caught them running around the backyard and playing together, and it was clear that Jett was having the best time. It’s such a relief to know he is in such active and caring hands. I can’t wait to have her back to walk and play with Jett again—highly recommend!

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
