“Jonathan replied to a very last minute request from us, and provided top notch care to our stranger-wary dog. He was communicative and kind and we would ask him for help in a heartbeat should we need to again.”
“Mirabel was so awesome! She helped me out last minute by walking Theo and even though he gave her lots of trouble by hiding from her at first, she was so patient with him and still took him on a long walk. She provided a thorough note and lots of photos which I greatly appreciated. 10/10 would recommend!”

About: As a dedicated dog owner since 2020 and a current medical student with flexible hours, I bring a high level of responsibility, attentiveness, and genuine compassion to pet care. Having managed my own dog’s health, routines, and daily needs for years, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy to look after your furry family members. I always prioritize your dog's safety, comfort, and happiness, which is why I only prefer walking or sitting one dog at a time! Whether they need a high-energy walk to burn off steam or gentle companionship while you are away, your pets will be in safe, loving hands. I have plenty of free time during weekdays to drop by for walks, check-ins, or extended daytime care. My open routine allows me to easily accommodate midday walks, feeding schedules, and play sessions, ensuring your pups get all the attention and exercise they need right when they need it. Your dog’s safety and well-being are my absolute top priorities. I treat every animal in my care with the same patience and vigilance I would give my own pet. I am careful with secure leash handling, attentive to environmental hazards, and strictly follow any dietary, medication, or behavioral guidelines you provide. You can count on reliable communication, prompt updates, and peace of mind while you're away.

We’ve had such a great experience with Jonathan! He is reliable, caring, and attentive, and it gives us so much peace of mind knowing our pup is in such good hands. It’s clear how much he cares about the pets he works with and we’re so grateful to have found someone we can trust with our little guy. Highly recommend!
Alissa took excellent care of Pico while we were out of town. She was very communicative, and made sure she had proper care instructions before her first walk. She provided great details after each walk, and took lots of pictures! Pico clearly loved spending time with her. We would definitely book again in the future!

Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
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.
