“One of the best! Updated me the whole time my doggie was on a walk and came with last minute notice. Will definitely be booking more walks!! Muffin was satisfied 😇”
“Lusianna has been a pleasure to work with. She’s easy to communicate with and I can tell she really cares about my dog. She’s definitely one of the best and most reliable walkers I’ve used.”
“I could not recommend Jillian enough! We have an elderly dog who requires extra attention, and Jillian provides exemplary care. If you have any reservations about leaving your pets with someone, rest assured that they will be well cared for under her supervision. I wouldn’t trust Roscoe with anyone else!”
About: I currently have no dogs but have 5 back home in Colorado whereI grew up on a ranch and now simply miss having so many animals around so I'd love to take care of yours to fill that pet gap in my heart! I'm used to pets big and small and know I'll love and care for your dogs or cats as if it were my own. I'm pretty flexible and am only out of town a few weekends this summer! My other jobs for summer are also flexible so any pets can be my priority this summer. I love to exercise pups or give them love whichever they need! I'm experienced with having to get pets to take their pills for the older ones and I have all the energy needed to play with the younger ones :)
About: I am a grad student looking to help with dog sitting. My weekends are devoted to studying and exercising, the perfect combo for hanging out with dogs! My friends have always entrusted me with watching their dogs while they travel. I have tons of experience with dogs of all sizes from shih-tzu's to huskies! Currently, trying to convince my girlfriend to let us get a dog, but excited to make some new dog friends in the meantime! I have full availability on the weekends (Friday 2PM - Monday 7AM). My typical availability during the week is from 5PM-7AM. Outside of these hours I am attending classes. I am a student in the health care profession, so my first concern is always safety. Having lived with a husky for several years, I understand how difficult it can be to get a dog back inside after they have gotten out. I am always extremely careful making sure dogs do not get out of the house without a leash or the owner's permission in a gated area. I also pay very close attention whenever a dog is near other dogs, people, or acting out of the ordinary. I am always reachable by phone for pictures, check-ins, and FaceTimes. I do my best to follow every guideline set forth by the parents and to keep all dogs safe and happy.
About: I have been an owner of my dog, Scout for 13 years. Over those 13 years, I have learned how to care for animals. I have volunteered for the humane society for the past 5 years as well! I am currently working during the mornings of each weekend so I am pretty flexible during the weekdays. I can care for your pet during any hour of the day during the week! I feed, walk, and shower my dog with attention each day. I will treat your pet the same way mine would want to be treated.
About: I’ve taken care of pets for my co-workers and friends for the past several years while they traveled out of town for an extended amount of time. I make sure to check-in every day, feed them, and make sure they get enough attention. I am raising money for marathons I have signed up for over the next year. I’m preparing to run the Marine Corps Marathon and aim to run the Boston Marathon. I usually work evenings from 3-11pm Wednesdays through Sundays and I will have time to take care of your pet in the mornings before I get ready for work. When I am in charge of your pet, I make sure sure they have the food the need to remain healthy, give them a walk when they need it, and provide them with enough attention.
About: My family adopted our first puppy when I was 10. Since then, we've adopted 2 more and I've helped with all of the responsibilities, and of course enjoyed all of the cuddly benefits. have experience with both big and small dogs I work from home so my schedule is flexible and am mostly available during the work day. I enjoy spending time outside, and would love to have the opportunity to bring a furry friend along with me on my daily walks. I live in a safe neighborhood with a backyard. Although not fenced in, I live on a residential street. Also happy to bring pets into my home when necessary
About: I’ve taken care of all types of animals big and small furry or reptilian! I’m comfortable with different energy levels and sizes and willing to put in the work to get to know your pet and make sure they are comfortable! I work from home with very flexible hours so I can accommodate many different schedules during business hours and throughout the rest of the day I live in an apartment so will not be caring for pets in my home, but I am very careful and thorough with all pet care instructions.
“Carla is very good with my shy golden retriever. I am very appreciative that she is walking with my dog. She is very friendly and easy to talk. Also she can control big dog well, too. I am definitely recommend her to take care dog.”
About: I have volunteered with dogs for about 5-6 years, including with large dogs and reactive dogs. I also pet sit my friends' dogs. For me, spending time with animals is therapy. I would love to give your dog all the attention they deserve during my visits. Whether it's long walks, snuggle time or a check-in, I will make sure your pet gets the best love and care! I work full-time but my job is flexible. I'm available for drop-ins, overnight stays and walks. The end of the week and weekends are the most open for me. I cannot pet sit at my apartment, but I am comfortable staying in others' homes. This is how I pet sit for my friends. This also helps with pets' comfort, I think.

“Jess helped take care of my ranch including 7 dogs and 3 cats while I went on vacation for a week last summer. She has been caring for our pets on vacations for the past few years and always is able to keep the animals happy and cared for. She has had to handle emergency vet services with one of our horses before when it got twisted gut while we were away and was able to care for the horse as instructed which allowed it to make a full recovery. She has a great knowledge of what animals need and how to care for them and they seem to love her just as much! We have been fortunate enough to have been able to utilize her for so many years and we highly recommend using her for all of your pet sitting needs!”

“Chris S is the only sitter I use for my dog! Chris is reliable, responsible, and kind. I trust him implicitly with my dog's care. Upon meeting Chris, you'll recognize his natural love for all animals! Anytime I've had to change my travel plans and extend his days/times/responsibilities, Chris always responds, "No problem. I'll take care of Siena. Don't worry about anything!" There's no price for the peace of mind this affords me while I'm away. Chris is the best!”
