About: Hi my name is Cindy and I love caring for animals! I’ve grown up around cats and dogs nearly my whole life and think they make the bestest friends :’) I’ve been dog and cat sitting for a couple of years now and I absolutely love it because I get to meet new pets and it’s just super sweet. I love going on walks and bringing along a furry friend makes it even better. I am trustworthy and caring as I also babysit. I believe the two services are very similar! I look forward to watching and becoming friends with your pet. They are super valued and deserve extremely great care. 🐶🐱❤️ I am available from early morning until 2pm to do any pet care needs and after ~6:30pm as well. Between 3-6:30 I am at another job. I always make sure I know what they are up to inside the home or if fenced outside. I want them to have fun but be safe and making sure I know they are away from harm is super important.
“We’re so grateful for the amazing care our dogs received! She was incredibly reliable, followed all instructions perfectly, and made sure both dogs got plenty of exercise and love. It gave us real peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. Highly recommend and would definitely book again!”
About: I have 5+ years of experience as the primary caretaker and trainer for my dog Pumpkin (pictured in my profile!). I’ve also regularly cared for about five dogs belonging to friends and family. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I have experience giving medication to dogs, as my own pup had medical needs as a puppy. I’m passionate about keeping pets happy, healthy, and safe while you’re away! I’m currently available full-time, with a super flexible schedule to care for your pets whenever you need. I’m free 24/7 this summer and happy to accommodate your pet’s routine! I’ll be starting college in the fall but plan to continue offering care with plenty of availability. I have a fully closed-in fenced yard for safe outdoor play, and I’m always attentive to your pet’s comfort and needs. I’m experienced with crating, administering medications, and following special routines. When caring for pets in your home, I’m respectful, reliable, and focused on keeping things clean, calm, and secure. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priority!
“Candice was phenomenal! I needed to have the Tevya walked 2x per day for a month and it was amazing to have Candice. She was on time, every time, rain or shine, and even provided a bit of training on their walks. Candice was also very tolerant of my dog's idiosyncrasies. If you are looking for a reliable dog walker, look no further!”
“Bethany is amazing! She takes such good care of our pup German Shepard, Albus. We get the cutest updates and photos on their adventures every walk. She's a great dog walker, and overall a great person. Highly recommend!”

About: 🐾 Your Friendly Neighborhood Dog Walker 🐾 Hi, I’m Robert! 👋🏻 Animals have always been a part of my life, from dogs and cats to fish, birds, and even a sugar glider. I have hands-on experience with pets of all sizes, temperaments, and ages, whether they’re energetic puppies, gentle seniors, or shy companions who need a little extra patience. I treat every animal with the same care and attention like I’d give my own, his name is Teddy! See his pet info at the bottom of my profile. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priorities. Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in, or just some quality playtime, I’m here to make sure your furry friend feels loved and looked after. Let’s connect and give your pup the care they deserve! 🐶✨ I work remote full time and have a very flexible schedule. I am able to accommodate the needs of your pet on a week to week basis! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in yours, their safety, comfort, and well-being come first. I create a calm and secure environment where pets can feel at ease, stay on their routines, and get the attention they need. In your home, I respect your space and follow all care instructions closely. That includes feeding schedules, medications, walking routes, and favorite toys. I keep communication open and send regular updates with photos so you always know your pet is in good hands. If I’m caring for pets in my home, it’s a pet-friendly space with plenty of room to play, relax, and feel comfortable.

Every pet is unique, and I’m happy to adjust my care to fit their personality and specific needs.
About: I occasionally help my friends to walk dogs and play with them. Since I own two cats, they are afraid of dogs. I can only do drop-in visit or dog walks. I work from home and schedule is flexible. Occasionally noon or urgent meetings come up, otherwise I’m flexible to accommodate your schedule and needs to take care your fur babies! As a pet owner and home owner, I know how I wish others respect and care my own pets and home. Nothing more needs to be said, I’ll treat yours as mine!
“Yesenia was great! I was so excited I was able to book her 30 min beforehand for a last minute morning walk. She’s friendly and my pup seemed to enjoy her as well. Highly recommend.”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I grew up with dogs, playing with other people’s dogs, and I have taken care of dogs for others! During summer, I am home and have free time all the time! Nothing is concrete in my schedule during summer, so I can accommodate other schedules. I live in nice neighborhood with several parks or areas to explore. I do not have any pets of my own, so my attention will be fully on yours!

I can’t say enough good things about Marie! Trusting someone with my dog, Charlie, is like trusting them with my child. My pup is my family and knowing that he is in Marie’s hands gives me total peace of mind. Marie is not only reliable and professional, but genuinely loving and attentive. She treats Charlie with so much care, patience and joy, it’s clear she really loves what she does. Charlie gets so excited when she comes to the door and I just love the pictures she sends while on their walk. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy who will treat your dog like their own, look no further. I wholeheartedly recommend Marie.
