“Katherine was a wonderful dog walker, she took so many great photos of Ricki and had a lot of great notes for each walk! I would definitely book her again for Ricki!”


“Thomas is such a gem!!! Book him! He’s punctual, communicates well, and is patient. My dog Cairo is not everyone’s ’cup of tea’ (not that I care, since I love him) but he’s vocal at times from excitement and has high energy as a 2 year old Aussiedoodle. Thomas arrived on time, and took Cairo on an hour long dog walk. Although it was 80+ degree humid weather with no breeze, he did it with a smile on his face. Moving forward, whenever I need a walker for Cairo (most likely 1x weekly), I will contact Thomas to check his availability. And next time Thomas, I’ll have a nice cold unopened bottled water for you. Thomas, thank you for bonding with Cairo and accepting his high energy level. Not sure if you’re told this enough, but you are absolutely amazing!”


“Stephanie was amazing!! This was our first booking with her and we couldn’t be more happy with our choice! She was so kind and friendly!! She asked questions during the meet and greet to make sure she could give Ellie the most perfect care! Stephanie was so communicative and sent us so many pictures and updates! Thank you Stephanie! If you need a walker for your pup then you should take my recommendation and choose Stephanie!!”


“Rosie has been walking my Finley for a while now. He’s reactive with high anxiety which makes coming in and out of a 30 floor apartment building challenging. She communicated her experiences with me and we work through them. She’s my go to call when I have plans and want him to have company. She’s been great all around.”


“Umnia always takes exceptional care of my dog, in all circumstances including bad weather, overexcited puppy, minor injury, or just a bored puppy who's been left alone. She's extremely caring and communicative and I always know that my pup is in the best hands with her.”


About: With 20 years of hands-on experience in pet care, I've had the privilege of caring for a wide variety of animals, including: dogs, cats, birds, turtles, and hamsters. I understand the unique needs of each species, from providing enriching activities for dogs, offering individualized care for cats, to creating safe, stimulating environments for birds, turtles, and hamsters. Whether it's ensuring proper habitat conditions, managing dietary needs, administering medications, or simply offering companionship, I approach each pet with a deep understanding of their behavior. I'm committed to fostering the well-being and happiness of every pet I care for, tailoring my services to meet their specific needs and personalities. I've built a flexible and reliable pet care routine that allows me to give your pets the attention and care they deserve without disrupting my own schedule. On a daily basis, I make time for early morning walks, feeding, and playtime, ensuring that your pets start their day happy and active. I also structure my evenings to include additional walks or cuddle sessions, and I'm available for drop-in visits throughout the day as needed. On a weekly basis, I plan regular check-ins, grooming sessions, and any other specific care tasks, such as administering medications or cleaning habitats. I will be attentive to your pets' needs without the rush, ensuring they receive the best care and companionship every day. My top priorities are ensuring their safety, comfort, and well-being. I create a secure environment by pet-proofing the space, removing potential hazards, and making sure they have room to explore, play, and relax. Trust is key, so I build a strong bond with each pet through consistency, gentle interaction, and routine care. In a client's home, I take extra care to respect their space, keeping everything familiar for their fur babies. Whether in my home or yours, I strive to offer a loving, safe, and stress-free environment where animals feel happy, secure and cared for at all times.

“Ana Christina is fantastic. She clearly loves dogs and is knowledgeable and experienced, and my dog adores her. Ana Chis is also professional, timely, and always responsive. I'd hire her to watch my puppy again in a heartbeat.”


“Thank you once again. Lynne has become our favorite dogsitter and Walker. Otto is always so glad to see her. She seems to genuinely enjoy her time with him too. Which makes me feel great and not worry.”

About: Hi everyone! My name is Maddie. I’ve been around my dogs my whole life and I’ve been taking care of dogs since middle school. I had a Portuguese Water Dog growing up, and have always loved volunteering to walk and spend nights with my neighbors’ dogs, as well. In college, I walked dogs for professors and people living in town. I would love nothing more than to help you out with your dog :). I’m responsive and organized, and typically have no issue picking up last-minute requests! I’m working a hybrid clinical research job that has fairly flexible hours, and I love breaking my day up with some fun dog time :). For walks and drop-ins, I will be sure to understand any particular details ahead of time to ensure your dog’s safety. As an athlete, I have no trouble with strong dogs on the leash.

About: I've been taking care of dogs for two years now. I personally have a black lab as well. I'm happy to take your dog on a walk, keep them company, or play with them! I'm currently working on a hybrid schedule so every week my availability differs. If I'm at home I can take care of your dog as needed. But I'm always available after 6pm on weekdays and most weekends. I have a fenced yard, but if I'm at your location I will give them my full attention. I live in a residential area with lots of friendly dogs nearby, and good safe spaces for walking.

“Carson was amazing to work with and we will definitely book her in the future! It was our first time leaving our very high energy dog in the hands of someone else and it couldn’t have gone better!! Carson was constantly communicating with us, easy to reach, and was as kind as can be. Our dog definitely enjoyed his time with her because he was always so sleepy when we got home to see him. We loved all the pictures Carson took and sent to us, was a truly nice touch. Thank you so much Carson, we are so appreciative of you 😊”


About: Hi, I’m Emmy! I grew up surrounded by cats and dogs and have been caring for animals my whole life. I currently have two cats of my own and have experience with dogs of all sizes — from tiny Yorkies to giant Malamute Huskies. I also worked at a veterinary hospital for 1.5 years as an assistant and receptionist, giving me hands-on experience with vet care, administering medications, and responding to emergencies. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, tiny, or large, I’m comfortable providing loving, attentive care tailored to their unique needs! I’m a grad student about to enter summer break so I have all of the free time in the world to tailor to your pets needs. I would love nothing more than to make a new furry friend this summer. I have a decently sized two bedroom apartment—and as a pet parent myself—no room or furniture is off limits to your fur baby unless requested by you. I have several grassy parks in the area ideal for walking.

“Glenn was wonderful with Jack for his first walk. Jack was a bit tentative to leave the house but Glenn carefully coaxed him out. Jack was thrilled once he got out the door. We look forward to seeing him on a regular schedule.”

My sincere gratitude for the exceptional care and professionalism shown by Sunisa, Tango's dog walker, over the past few months. Her dedication has made a significant difference in Tango's routine and development, and we are extremely grateful. From the beginning, she has demonstrated exceptional reliability, always arriving on time and treating Tango with genuine care and attention. Her calm demeanor and consistent approach have helped Tango feel safe and happy on every walk, and her honest and trustworthy nature has given us complete peace of mind. We feel incredibly fortunate to have had her support and want to acknowledge the impact she has had not only on Tango's well-being, but also on our confidence as pet parents. Our sincere gratitude and we deeply appreciate her work. Marcos and Silvina

Koda loves her and I am so appreciative of how lucky we are to have her care for Koda. She is very professional, easy to chat and coordinate walks with, and always goes above and beyond to treat Koda like her own pet. Thank you Liza I feel so comfortable leaving my fur baby in your hands

Julia has walked my dog Annie a few times now and is so kind and patient with her! Annie can be a combination of a little stubborn and skeptical of new people and Julia took her time getting Annie to trust her. Annie is looking forward to her ongoing walks with her!
