“Naomi is seriously amazing. She walks our sweet pup every week and she’s so flexible, considerate and an amazing communicator. She truly cares about our pup and our pup is always so excited for her time with Naomi. We couldn’t trust her more with our girl! ♥️”
“Olivia was wonderful with my dog, Lilo. She was reliable and easy to communicate with, and I really appreciated the updates and photos after the walks. Lilo clearly enjoyed their time together. It gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing she was getting good walks and attention. I’d happily book with her again!”
“Hound has been great with our dogs and they seem relaxed and happy when we get home. Manages the needs of our very old husky and young border collie mix very well so they both get the attention and exercise they need.”
“Lindsey was the best dog-walker we could ask for... We have a spirited labrador retriever, and she handled him beautifully, safely and timely. I always received pictures, video and a status report with every walk. I would recommend Lindsey to anyone seeking a reliable dog walker.”

“Emily is great with pets and went above and beyond to give my pup a good day and plenty of exercise. Great communication and photographs, prompt replies to everything. She did not need instructions for courtesies like wiping off paws when coming inside on a wet day, she just did it as the standard. I highly recommend Emily for dog walking, in house visits, or other services.”

About: HELLO! I have been taking care of all kinds of dogs from pups to senior pets who have special needs. I have done stuff like this ever since I was in middle school. I am very flexible with my time. I do have a cat allergy but that won’t stop me from that either! I’m always here to help you’re best friend 😊 Im very flexible with my schedule for a couple months! I can do early mornings to late nights. I’m always able to help with anything! I’m very detail oriented and need straightforward instructions in order to properly care for a pet. The more straightforward the instructions the better! I treat any pet as if they were my own. Maybe a chance to spoil with my special frozen pet friendly watermelon slush for the hot summer days? Or a little trip to get a pup cup? My dogs are spoiled and I miss them so much so this would be a win-win for the both of us 🤣
About: We had a poodle and then a cat in the house when I was a kid. Since then I've lived with several different cats and have been helping to look after friends' pets of various species when they're out of town or unavailable. I completed a course by the Professional Pet Care Association to become a Certified Pet Sitter and Dog Walker. I typically start my primary job at 3pm so late mornings and early afternoons are great for drop-ins or walks. Thursdays and Fridays are my normal days off so I'm available to spend more time with your pets then. The Practical Stuff: Happy to come over and provide food, water, exercise, and scoop litter boxes for your pets. The Other Important Stuff: I want your pet to feel safe and cared for while you're not there. I love petting, cuddling, playing, talking and generally hanging out with any dog or cat that wants the attention. If you have other pets like fish, reptiles, arthropods, etc. I can likely help out with them too. Let's talk about it. I'm fond of house plants and have dozens of my own so I'm happy to keep them watered for you.
About: Lifelong Care You Can Trust I may not have a corporate resume in pet care, but I have a lifetime of hands-on experience loving and caring for animals. Growing up, my family raised an Old English Bulldog and a Boston Terrier. Today, my home is shared with two short-hair cats and my two children. My entire daily life is centered around routine, safety, and animal happiness. have a highly flexible schedule that revolves perfectly around your cat's/dog’sneeds. As a full-time online business student and dad, my days are structured but completely open for pet care.Once I finish the morning school and work drop-off at 7:30 AM, my day is yours. I am fully available for drop-ins, feedings, and playtime all morning and afternoon. I just step away briefly for family pickups at 2:15 PM and 3:45 PM, but otherwise, I am studying from home and ready to provide your cat/dog with constant companionship, monitoring, and love. Your home is your cat’s castle, and I treat it with total respect and military-grade reliability. Because my own cat, Nova, suffers from severe anxiety, I am a master at reading feline body language and handling sensitive cats. I know exactly how to walk into a house gently, build trust on their terms, and sneak medication seamlessly into wet food without making it a stressful event. If your cat is more like my other cat, Stella—vocal and demanding—I speak fluent "meow" and know exactly when they are asking for attention, food, or space. When I visit your home for feedings, walks, or check-ins, you can expect:Flawless Routines: Exact adherence to your feeding schedules, water fountain/bowl top-offs, and meticulous litter box scooping (yes, I even know how to maintain and troubleshoot specialized tech like Litter-Robots).High-Level Security: I double-check that doors are locked, windows are secure, and no toxic house hazards are left within reach before I leave.TLC & Play: High-energy toy sessions for the active kitties, or calm, quiet companionship for the introverts.

Our dog is super anxious and apprehensive around new people, but he warmed up really quick to Jessica! She was really patient with him and it's obvious she has a ton of experience with animals. I fully trust her to take great care of him while we're gone on an upcoming vacation!

Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. 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.
