“We recently hired Claudine as our weekly dog walker and were extremely happy with how the first week went. Our dog, Buster, is a recent adoption, and we were unsure how he would take to a new person walking him when we went back to work, but Claudine was great with him. She was patient and understanding, really taking in his needs to ensure that he felt safe and happy. We are delighted to have Claudine as part of our weekly walking routine with Buster and would highly recommend her for anyone looking into this service.”
About: I have always been involved in pet care in my home for over 15 years. I have had experience with elderly dogs and cats of my own. I have pet-sitted in my neighborhood for puppies and for breeds different from my own dogs. I will use my energy to play with your pet and hopefully decrease their energy. I have a very flexible schedule since graduating college and applying to graduate school nearby. I have lots of time and availability for stop-ins during the day or bringing study materials to a client’s home. My yard is fenced in and I can take dogs for a walk in Brookdale Park nearby. I will administer medicine and play with dogs and provide them with a cuddly environment.
“Cole is a true professional who genuinely cares for dogs and animals of all kinds. From the very beginning, he has been reliable, attentive, and incredibly easy to work with. My dog, Lucky, absolutely loves her walks with him and gets excited every time he arrives, which says a lot about the bond and trust he builds with the pets he cares for. Cole is caring, friendly, patient, and always brings a positive attitude. He treats every dog as if they were his own and takes the time to make sure they are comfortable, safe, and happy. As a pet owner, it gives me real peace of mind knowing Lucky is in such capable and compassionate hands. I truly appreciate the level of professionalism and genuine kindness Cole brings to his work. I would gladly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dependable, and caring dog walker to care for their cherished pet.”
“She is simply Wonderful! I am so glad we’ve met and the pups liked her... she really took her time and took them on a long walk!! They came back happy, tired and ready to nap ? She was flexible in a time change which was a huge help for me... I will definitely ask her again to walk the pups! Thank you!!”

You can tell she is really on top of things and her attention to detail is superb. She has provided consistent loving care for bud! Highly recommended!!!”

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs growing up with so many pets of my own. From family pets to friends and neighbors I’ve walked, feed, and bathe them all. I’m currently working part-time, so I’ll have a lot of free time from 8:30 to 2 o’clock and 6:00 to 9 on the weekdays. On the weekends I’m available all day. I provide loving, attentive care for your pet right in the comfort of their own home, where they feel safest and most relaxed. I make sure to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or quiet cuddle time so they experience consistency while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and in good hands.
About: I have had dogs my whole life and have watched neighborhood dogs for anything from a dog walk to a couple weeks overnight since I was in high school (I just graduated college!) I have always had a knack for training pups using positive reinforcement and have been coined a bit of a “dog whisperer” by friends, family, and clients back home. I am a major dog person and have been my whole life. I just moved back home to Jersey from Austin where I fostered dogs in addition to my own. I would love to meet your furry friends! I am currently a student at the university of Texas at Austin. The maximum hours of class I have a day are two hours and only on busy days. I am home most of the day at my apartment and have time and love to offer a dog! I don’t have any dogs in my apartment here. While I don’t have a fenced in yard, my building is dog friendly and close to parks/good walking routes!!
About: Im the go to pet-sitter when my friends or family goes on vacation. I’ve taken care of dogs since I was little . I currently have my one pup at home and I know how it feels to leave them alone. I treat any pup like they are my own and will give them all the care they need . I am currently a part time college student. When I have free time I am available to take care of your dogs, take them on walks and play with them . My house I fully fenced.

“First time meet and greet. Moe was skiddish, as expected but warmed up to Daniel pretty quickly and let him take for a nice walk. Was on time, respectful, and courteous.”
“Thomas is wonderful and won over my very shy dog quickly, was accommodating and wonderfully pleasant to work with. You’d be very lucky to have him as your dog helper when in need.”
About: Animals have always been a major part of my life, and my experience caring for them goes beyond just basic pet sitting. I have volunteered at animal shelters, where I gained hands-on experience walking and handling dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. This has taught me how to read body language, build trust quickly, and make every walk safe and enjoyable for each dog’s individual needs. I also have personal experience as a foster parent to cats. I successfully helped one of my fosters find her forever home, and I proudly became a “foster fail” with another who I couldn’t imagine letting go. I currently care for a blind cat, which has deepened my understanding of patience, consistency, and creating a safe, predictable environment for special-needs pets. In the past, I also cared for a cat with feline leukemia who was incredibly special to me, and I made sure he was always comfortable, loved, and supported. My background has given me a strong sense of compassion, responsibility, and intuition when it comes to animals. I treat every pet like my own, and I understand how important it is for pet parents to feel complete peace of mind while they’re away. I am currently working per diem, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care. I am also in a season of exploring my passions and focusing on work that feels meaningful to me. Pet care is something I truly enjoy, and I love building trust with every animal I meet. I care for pets in clients’ homes by following their normal routines as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, litter care, playtime, and any medications. I adjust to each pet’s personality and needs, whether they’re social or need space. I also keep the home clean, secure, and provide updates so pet parents feel at ease.

Carolina is fantastic and I highly recommend her! She is punctual, communicative, and our Doggo really loved his walks with her! She sent us plenty of photos of Oli on his walks and photos of him eating his dinner and drinking water. We will definitely continue to reach out to her when we need Oli to be walked! Thank you Carolina! 💕
We had a fantastic experience with Tom and can’t recommend him enough. He stepped in on short notice to help take care of our husky, Talc, and completely exceeded our expectations. He was reliable, communicative, and took the time to understand Talc and make him as comfortable as possible. We were especially happy to hear such positive feedback about Talc’s behavior while we were away – it showed how well Tom connected with him. We’ll certainly be reaching out again next time we need a dedicated and trustworthy dog walker for Talc. Thank you!
Krista has been an absolutely amazing dog walker! She is reliable, communicative, and clearly has a true love for animals. I always feel at ease knowing my dog is in such caring and capable hands. She goes above and beyond with updates, photos, and thoughtful attention to my dog’s needs and personality. My pup gets so excited every time she comes by, which says everything. I would highly recommend Krista to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and professional dog walker!
I cannot recommend Kathy highly enough as a dog walker. She is consistently reliable, punctual, and deeply attentive to my dog, Emma’s needs. From day one, it was clear that she genuinely cared about Emma — not just getting the job done, but making sure each walk was safe, engaging, and enjoyable. And that was important because Emma is a lively dog who eats everything in sight. Communication is always prompt and professional, and I appreciate the regular updates and photos after each visit. Most importantly, Emma absolutely adores Kathy and comes home happy and well-exercised every time. Knowing Emma is in such dependable hands gives me complete peace of mind. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and compassionate, Kathy is an outstanding choice!

Our pet is friendly, well-socialized, and used to a consistent routine. They respond well to structure, positive reinforcement, and regular activity, and they do best with someone who is attentive and patient. Dayra was a great fit because she is responsible, reliable, and genuinely loves animals. She’s attentive to details, follows routines carefully, and is very observant of behavior and needs. Dayra is calm, trustworthy, and takes commitment seriously, which makes her well-suited to providing a safe, caring, and stable environment for our pet.
