“We have used Victoria for a 30 minute walk and an all day doggie daycare for our 7 month old lab / golden retriever mix. It was overall a 10/10 experience. Victoria was very responsive and had the perfect, doggie friendly space to take care of our puppy. Victoria even schedule a meet and greet session with us before our first booking to make sure we were comfortable with the set up. We will be using Victoria again!!”


“Punctual and very nice”


“This was my first time using Rover and it was a great experience. Charsy is such a nice and sweet person. Our dog looked so happy after the walks. She always kept me updated and made the experience to be a 10/10. She treated our dog so good and with a lot of kindness.”


About: I have house-sit and drop-in experience. I can do drop-ins and/or stay the night. I have taken care of pets up to a week at a time. Stayed with a mix of cats and dogs or one or the other. I have experience with dogs of smaller or larger breeds. I can stay overnight, do drop-ins, and take dogs on walks at any point of the week. I have open availability and can make sure I adhere to your normal pet care schedule. I usually ask what the client’s schedule for feeding their pets is and how frequently they take their dogs out to use the restroom. If they have set schedules then I will always go by that and if they don’t, I go based off my own experience. Playtime is so important for active pets, so doing that is so important to me. I also ask if they would like for the dogs to go out on walks. I will take them out on walks, depending on if the client is comfortable with their dog going out.

“I gave Deanna a key to my place to walk my dog. She walked her for an hour, dropped her off and left the key. My dog seems like really life her. She was on time and everything was so smooth.”


About: I am privately insured for your peace of mind! I have been volunteering at animal rescues since 2016 and I used to be kennel tech. I am very knowledgable and experienced with geriatric and special needs dogs. I also have experience working with exotic animals! I currently only board pets under 40lb. I am pet CPR Certified through Recovery Initiative. Boarding: I mostly work morning weekend shifts, my mom and I live together and she only works Monday thru Thursday. There is brief periods where we leave the house to do errands but the pets usually have less then 3 hours of alone time per day. I am currently not offering in house sitting for large dogs, I have 3 dogs that get along well with small dogs. My animals get all the love and have a huge yard for play time.


“We love Crystal! She is very consistent and reliable which is huge to us. We work in healthcare so we need someone we can trust to let our dog at since we can’t come home. We will definitely continue to use her in the future!”


About: I have been a genuine animal lover my entire life! Since I was young I was quick to bond with any animal, no matter how ornery they were. For years, I have been the trusted sitter for my family's, friend's, and coworker's furry friends. My main passion in sitting is giving your fur babies all the love, companionship, and structure they need to keep their stress down and stay on routine. I also have a passion for animal photography, so there is a good chance you will be left with a cute little memento to welcome you back home. I'm excited and look forward to watching your tail-wagging sidekicks! I strive to be available for your pet whenever I am needed! I'm passionate about keeping your pets on routine as much as I can, and am willing to adapt my schedule as much as possible to achieve that. My experience revolves around pet sitting in the client's homes. I'm a "by the book" personality, so I will follow all pet care instructions to the tee. So I will care for your pets in the exact same way that you care for your pets.

“Callie is INCREDIBLE. My dog has issues trusting people but warmed up to Callie right away. Sitting next to her and wanting to be held before I even left for my trip. I can’t tell anyone how great it was to truly enjoy my vacation as I received numerous photos and videos throughout the day of Lady being spoiled and loved on by someone who was clearly called to do this. I have already booked Callie for the rest of my trips through 2022, and hope that I never have to find another sitter. Thank you Callie, you will be seeing Lady very soon!”


About: I’ve always loved dogs! I grew up with Blue Ticks, Beagles, and other hound dogs & even cattle. I’ve just always loved animals! I would love to be able to show the love & care I have for them I’m currently a graduate assistant coach at my local university. I’m completely available most Friday-Sundays. Honestly, I would love to offer services more week days (although most nights I can work as well) but my week day scheduling changes. I’m comfortable in caring for any size dog. I’m great at following precise instructions and can guarantee your dog gets the love & care they need!

About: I have a deep love for dogs and years of hands-on experience caring for pups of all ages, from playful puppies to wise seniors. I have so much compassion in my approach to dogs who are grieving the loss of a sibling or companion. I understand the emotional needs of lonely dogs and provide gentle, attentive care to help them feel safe, comforted, and loved. Whether it’s quiet companionship, extra cuddles, or keeping their routine consistent, I’m here to support their healing with patience and heart. I’m a full time student during the fall and spring, but have an extremely flexible schedule and will be free all summer. During the fall, I’ll still be free to care for your pups! I have a fenced in backyard, and two friendly and playful dogs. They are loved deeply and are only in a kennel when I’m out of the house.

About: I will provide care and love to your dog just like I do for my very own fur-children. Your dog will enjoy being able to be comfortable and relax on the couch while enjoying time with two other very friendly dogs. We go on lots of walks and stay as active as the weather will allow for. If you want your dog to run for their walk, I would be more than happy to provide that service as well! I’m a full time nursing student wanting to help out fellow pet owners while I have a little free time! I’ve also experienced the hassle of finding boarding for overnights, and I’d love to ease the stress of that. I’m currently earning my degree from home, so I have flexibility and availability for your furbabies and will be able to provide attention and regular potty breaks throughout the day. I have a fenced in large backyard with two playful friendly dogs of my own to keep your furbaby company. I can also easily separate or crate your dog if needed.

About: I have had dogs and cats since I was 8. Currently, I have 2 cats, and am excited about taking care of your animals as well! I am a teacher on summer break, so I can be in and out throughout the day, or even stay all day. I am available to stay overnight as well. I am unable to offer pet care in my home as my cats do not like new people or animals. However, in your home, I will follow any and all instructions you leave for me. You want your pet crated? Done. You want your pet to sleep in the bed with me? Can do. We’ll have our own great vacation while you have yours!

“Maegan has watched my fur babies for years every time I go out of town! She loves them and cares for them like they are her own. She is very reliable. Each time I walk through their routine she ensures that she writes notes so she does not forget one step. She will do whatever is asked of her from giving them endless cuddles to giving them medicine if they need it for whatever reason. She will also keep you updated on how they are by sending pics or videos to ease your mind if you are worried. Pretty sure my dogs are more sad to see her leave than they are happy that I’m back. 10/10 best dog sitter. My”

Hope M.
“I am thrilled to write this testimonial for Avery because they have been an absolute blessing for both me and my furry companion. When I first hired Avery, I was searching for a reliable and trustworthy dog walker to help me give my dog the exercise and stimulation he needed while I was at work. Little did I know that I would find a dog walker who exceeds all expectations. From the very beginning, Avery demonstrated their professionalism and genuine love for dogs. They took the time to get to know my dog's unique personality, quirks, and exercise requirements. It was evident that they genuinely cared about his well-being and happiness. They are not only passionate about dogs but also highly experienced and knowledgeable. They possess a deep understanding of dog behavior, and I have complete confidence in their ability to handle any situation that may arise during the walks. They treat my dog with the utmost care, respect, and kindness, which puts my mind at ease every time I entrust my furry friend to their care. One thing I truly appreciate about Avery is their commitment to providing a tailored experience. They understand that every dog is unique, and they customize each walk to meet my dog's specific needs. Whether it's a brisk walk or a leisurely stroll, they adapt to my dog's energy level, ensuring he receives the appropriate exercise and mental stimulation. They also incorporate playtime, which my dog absolutely loves. Reliability is another standout quality of Avery. They consistently arrive on time and are always ready to take my dog for his scheduled walk. I never have to worry about cancellations or last-minute changes.”
