Jing was amazing. She sent a lot of updates and photos which helped me feel comfortable leaving my pups while I was at work during the day. They were happy and well taken care of when I got home!

About: I've been around pets my whole life — they've been part of my home since I was 7. I currently have two cats of my own, so I genuinely understand what pet owners care about when they leave their animals with someone. I spent years working at a grooming facility, which means I'm comfortable handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I come to your home, spend real time with your pet, and treat every visit as more than just a checkbox. I'm also certified in pet CPR — so if anything unexpected happens, I know exactly what to do. I offer dog walking and drop-in visits, with bathing available as an add-on. My schedule is flexible, so I can show up consistently without rushing your pet through the time we have together. Every animal has its own personality — I pay attention to that and adjust my approach accordingly. I'm a stay-at-home mom with a flexible schedule, which means I'm available on weekdays and weekends — not just squeezing walks in before or after a 9-to-5. Getting outside with pets fits naturally into my day, and honestly, I enjoy it. It's not a side hustle I'm half-present for — I actually want to be there. When I arrive, I follow whatever routine the owner has set — feeding schedule, walk route, favorite toys, any quirks. I don't come in and improvise; I ask questions upfront so your pet's day stays as normal as possible. During walks I pay attention to the dog's pace and energy — not every dog wants the same thing, and I adjust accordingly. For drop-ins I make sure the pet gets real interaction, not just a quick check and leave. I send updates and photos so owners know everything is fine. My grooming background means I also notice things — a skin issue, unusual behavior, anything that seems off. I'll always let the owner know.

Yong was amazing!!! I’m always nervous about finding a new dog sitter/walker but Yong immediately put us at ease and my dog loved him. He was super dependable, gave lots of updates, always punctual and clearly loves animals and wants to take care of them. Will definitely reach out to again!

About: I have 20+ years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, from brand-new puppies to beloved seniors who need extra support. I’m reliable, patient, and very detail-oriented, and I always follow your routines exactly to keep your dog comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. I also have puppy training experience, so I can help reinforce the cues and habits you’re already working on—perfect for keeping your training consistent. For senior dogs, I offer gentle, attentive care, whether they need medication reminders, slower walks, or just a calm presence throughout the day. What sets me apart is the way I tailor every visit to each dog and each household. No two dogs are the same, and I pay close attention to their personality, energy level, and comfort needs. Whether your dog thrives on structured play, needs quiet companionship, or prefers a predictable routine, I adjust my approach to match what works best for them—and for you. You can count on clear communication, reliability, and genuine care. Your dog stays safe, relaxed, and understood. You stay updated and worry-free. Pet care is my full-time profession, so my entire day is structured around giving each pet the attention they deserve. I don’t overbook or cram visits together—I intentionally keep my schedule flexible so I can stay reliable, punctual, and fully present with every animal I care for. Spacing out visits allows me to maintain a calm, stress-free routine and gives me room to handle any unexpected needs that might come up, such as extra cleanup, weather changes, mobility issues, or a pet who needs a little more time and reassurance that day. Your pet never feels rushed, and you never have to worry about me balancing other jobs or squeezing you in. This is what I do, all day, every day. Your pet’s comfort and safety always come first. I care for pets in their own home because that’s where they feel most secure, confident, and relaxed. I follow your routines exactly—feeding times, walks, medications, training cues, preferred routes, and house rules—so everything stays familiar and predictable for your pet. I pay close attention to details like behavior changes, energy levels, appetite, and overall mood, and I communicate anything I notice. I’m extremely reliable, gentle, and respectful of your home, and I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are always handled carefully. My goal is simple: your pet feels safe and understood, and you feel completely confident trusting me in your home.

About: I've loved animals my whole life and have been around cats in one way or another for most of my life. I grew up with multiple cats and I've been taking care of my cat Cole since adopting her in 2018 as a kitten. I've been volunteering at a cat shelter for several years as a socializer and love visiting as many cats as I can when I'm there (I always stay longer than my shift). I love them dearly, always want what's best for them, and would treat your cat with the same care concern I'd treat for my own. I'd be happy to provide drop-in visits for feedings/etc or to provide your cat with some play/social time! I love meeting new cats and taking in their unique quirks! While I've had a lot more exposure to felines, I've spent time and cared for several dogs as well and would gladly care for yours while you are away. I've had a lot of good experiences with them - I’m good pals with my landlady's pitbull and my dad’s chocolate lab! I’ll give your dog lots of attention and be mindful of their personality, especially during walks. I’ve had some anxious ones that can get a bit testy when they see other dogs during walks and I’ve handled them well. I'm between jobs at the moment, so I am fairly flexible in terms of availability with some notice. Sunday is my day for volunteering, though I can swap my shift if need be to provide your pet with the care it needs. I'm happy to arrange for shorter/longer visits on single/recurring basis. Can assist with feedings, playtime or just hang out and provide them a loving lap! Also happy to provide photo/video updates of your fur babies to help put your mind(s) at ease!

Katie was so amazing to work with! You can tell she’s experienced with animals and takes pride in caring for them, and I felt so comfortable and at peace knowing my fur baby would be in good hands while we were away. Ace loved her and I really felt so great knowing we had a kind and responsible dog walker. We hired her for about a week of dog walking, and she was always prompt / on time and sent tons of updates and pictures. We will definitely use Katie’s services again in the future and are so thankful to have found her!

About: I’d be a great dog walker because I genuinely love animals and bring a warm, upbeat energy to every interaction. My bubbly personality helps dogs feel comfortable and excited, whether it’s an energetic walk or a calm stroll. I’m attentive, patient, and tuned in to each dog’s unique needs, making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for at all times. For me, it’s not just about walking dogs—it’s about building trust, creating joy, and treating every pet like they’re my own I am available Monday through Friday (weekends are available if needed). Mornings and afternoons are best :) Times/Dates can be accommodated upon request if need be. I prioritize every dog’s safety by staying attentive, prepared, and respectful of their surroundings. I use secure, well-fitted leashes and harnesses, keep a close eye on body language, and adjust our pace and route to match each dog’s comfort and energy level. I’m mindful of the environment—avoiding busy roads, extreme weather, and unsafe surfaces—while staying alert to other animals and potential hazards.

About: I've been taking care of my sweet puppy Hazel for 9 years! When she was a baby, I potty trained her and taught her many fun tricks! Now that she's older, I look out for her emerging middle aged dog health concerns. As a pet sitter, I'll treat your babies with the same care I give my own! Pet sitting is my full-time summer job, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available during both week days and weekends! I am very adaptable to your individual needs for your pets and your home. Simply let me know of any specific requests and I'll easily be able to make it happen!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I have rescued my dogs while traveling through South America since 2022 and have been taking care of them. The old one is 5 yrs old and the second one is 2yrs old. I work remotely so I spend all day with my dogs except for when I have to run errands. This is why I can fit drop visits and walks throughout the day since I work from home. I have a fenced backyard if dogs need to play outside but also if they need to stay in a crate I can help with that. I have experience with walking small- large dogs.

About: I’ve had a dog since the age of 5, but it taught me on how to care for dogs at multiple stages of their lives. My friends and family always come to me when they need someone to care for their pet. I’m currently not working so I am completely available for boarding, dog sitting, and dog walking. I can communicate multiple times throughout the day to ensure you that your pet is in the best care :) I own my home with a fenced yard and I have my dog Marley that lives with me. Marley is very friendly and gets along well with all dogs.

About: As a lifelong dog lover and owner for the past 5 years, caring for dogs comes naturally to me. I’ve always been the go-to person for friends and family when they need someone they trust with their pets. I work from home every day, so I’m able to provide flexible, attentive care throughout the day. This allows me to stick to your pet’s routine, including walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of attention! Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. I create a calm, pet-friendly environment where they can feel comfortable and secure. I’m attentive to each pet’s needs, whether that means sticking to a specific feeding schedule, administering basic care, or providing extra playtime and affection. In clients’ homes, I’m respectful, reliable, and follow all care instructions closely. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos for peace of mind.

We’ve had such a great experience with our dog walker, Xavier! He’s been walking our two dogs, Koda and Miso, and I honestly couldn’t ask for better care. Both dogs have their own personalities, and he handles each of them so well—making sure they get the right amount of exercise, attention, and love. I always feel at ease knowing Koda and Miso are in good hands. Xavier is reliable, communicative, and clearly cares about the dogs he works with. You can tell he genuinely enjoys what he does, and it shows in how happy and relaxed my pups are after every walk. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring!

Al has been my dog Shaggy’s walker for over a year, and to say he made an impact is an understatement. Even after moving away, Al was able to walk Shaggy again today—and the moment they saw each other, it was like no time had passed. Shaggy was beyond excited and came back happy, tail wagging, and totally exhausted from a great walk. Al is an incredible dog walker and caretaker—he’s dependable, flexible, and truly connects with the pets he cares for. It’s clear that he doesn’t just walk dogs, he builds lasting bonds with them. Al is someone your pet will never forget, and neither will you.
