“Keri was wonderful. This was the first time we used a service like this so we were a bit apprehensive. But once we met Keri in person we were totally comfortable! She got along great with Bo. We appreciate the pictures and nice message. Will absolutely book again. Thank you Keri!”
“Liza is great! Most importantly, our Abby loves her and Liza likes Abby an awful lot, too. Liza is reliable, responsive to questions and keeps me informed. She has been so kind during a family member’s serious health problems. Because they were hospitalized unexpectedly, there was and the uncertainty of how long the overnights booking would last since it was dependent on how things went after surgery.”

“Emma is professional, a great communicator and very reliable. She works with my quirky dog and seems to enjoy his company. I am recovering from knee surgery and her daily walks are a godsend. I highly recommend her.”

“Julianne is a wonderful dog lover. She clearly loves caring for animals and our boy Oscar can't goings wait goingsfor walks with her. She is a great communicator and takes outstanding pictures too. Julianne is the best!”

About: I grew up with dogs and love dogs like crazy! In my house dogs are treated like honored guests. I love to snuggle with dogs and take them everywhere. In my life I've had many different types of dogs as well as a ferret, fish, a snake, and a few birds. I'm an advocate for any animal no matter what the shape size or species. I believe they all deserve a chance. I think this is just another way of helping out those people that want a sitter but can't afford Petco or other hotels.
About: I have trained my own heeler puppy since she was 10 weeks old. As well as helped raise another cattle dog until he was 8yo and have cared for and loved many different animals over the years I'm working part time and make up my own schedule. So I will usually have plenty of time for giving animals lots of attention and love. I have my own very sweet 2yo heeler that has been friendly with all dogs. And a sizeable backyard for supervised playtime. I value patience and calmness making the most out of positive reinforcement to promote good behavior.
About: Of my 10 years of pet care experience, 8 of those years includes veterinary medicine. I love all different kinds of animals, and am good with all types of personalities, fear levels, and temperaments. I can also administer medications and care for pets with special needs. My other work is freelance, so my schedule is usually open and flexible. Overnight stays are easy for me to configure, and I'm able to prioritize your pets in my schedule. My main priority is the pets safety and happiness. I have experience de-escalating anxiety, redirecting aggression, and navigating tension between pets. I always double leash dogs for walks and I am experienced with all varieties of leash, walk, and play based behavior.
“Alisha has been the best with our high-needs part-husky, Zorra! Great communication, worked us into her schedule when both my husband and I started having knee/back issues. Alisha made fast friends with Zorra and it's great to see our dog so happy and excited to go walkies, and so happy and tired when she returns. We highly recommend Alisha!”

About: I am currently the parent of my best dog friend, Goat. We've been buddies for 6 years. I have learned so much through training him, attending classes and personal training, endless reading and video watching, and adventuring through life together. I have also helped care for friends and family pets my whole life, and I love all dogs. I am currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to play with your dogs, take them on adventures, or just spend some quality time together. At my house, dogs are welcome to roam free in the fenced yard, cozy up on the couch, or wander between the two. I live in a somewhat quiet place, with many zones for pups to curl up and have peace. I only pet sit for one family at a time, as it allows to me to pay attention to your dog.

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.
