“I can’t say enough good things about Christina! She has amazing energy, is always upbeat and professional, and truly loves what she does. My dogs absolutely adore her and get so excited every time she comes by. It gives me such peace of mind knowing they’re in such great hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable, kind, and truly passionate about animals!”
“We left our Marley for the first time in her life of 12 years. We are so thankful for Olga. Not only did she ease our worries, Marley found herself a friend. Thank you so much! 🤍”
“Eliza has been an amazing dog walker for us! Our silly dog, who is sometimes shy around new people, absolutely loves her. Eliza always sends cute photos of their walks, and detailed updates about their time together. We really appreciate her and highly recommend her!”
About: I’m a proud dog mom to a loving 1 year old German Shepherd-Boxer mix, and caring for pets is one of my greatest joys. I understand the responsibility and attention that pets need, from daily walks and playtime to cuddles and companionship. I love spending time with dogs and treat every furry friend as if they were my own family. Both my husband and I work remotely, giving us a flexible schedule to make sure your dog is happy, cared for, and never left alone for long periods. Pets in my home are part of the family I make sure they get love, play, and care throughout the day. During check-ins at your home, I stick to your routine, giving your pet attention, exercise, and comfort while you’re away.
“Sarahbelle was responsive and helpful during our initial engagement. Unfortunately, our plans changed at the last minute so I did not get to meet her but I will absolutely seek her out in the future if she’ll have us!”
“Leshalyn was so great with my pup. I really don’t let other people walk him often because of a bad experience and she just put my mind at ease! Will definitely be using her services again when available!”
“Sarah was fantastic walking George while I traveled. He doesn’t warm up to people easily and took to Sarah right away. She gave great updates and shared cute pictures. I will definitely request Sarah to walk George again!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs, cats, and birds in the home and have dog sat, cat sat, and even sat for bunnies!! I love all animals and would love to help take care of yours!! I have a cat, so I take care of her every day! Always making sure she’s fed & is drinking properly, making sure she gets some play time in & gets to soak in the sun I’ve cared for animals both in my home and in others homes! I’m there to give your animal whatever they need to make their day!
“We’ve only had a couple of walks so far with Rosemary, and I’m already very impressed. Our beagle, Abbe, absolutely adores her! As soon as Rosemary pulls into the driveway, Abbe starts crying and wagging with excitement — she can’t wait to get out the door and run to her. I’ve watched them walk by the lake from my back deck, and Rosemary is wonderful with her. She’s patient and kind, but also firm when she needs to be — not a pushover, which I really appreciate. She communicates well, is always pleasant to talk to, and clearly loves what she does. I highly recommend Rosemary to anyone looking for a caring, responsible, and skilled dog walker. — Jeff Basham”
“Kaitlin is a great sitter! She took great care of my pups, taking them on great walks with a great deal of care and concern. She put them at ease right away (one of them tends to be anxious), and then was very dependable and thorough each day she took care of them. I highly recommend.”
About: While I don’t have formal training, I’ve been a proud dog mom for over 14 and 16 years. Both of my pups lived long, happy, and healthy lives, thanks to lots of love, consistent care, and really getting to know their individual needs. I truly adore animals—so much so that I find myself slowing down or stopping just to wave or talk to dogs I see out on walks in the neighborhood! Whether it’s playtime, snuggles, or just quiet companionship, I’m all about making pets feel safe, loved, and right at home while you're away. I work full-time Monday through Friday, but pet care is something I genuinely enjoy and make time for. I’m available some evenings during the week and more flexibly on weekends. Whether it's stopping by for a walk, a drop-in visit, or weekend sitting, I’m always excited to spend time with animals and give them the love and attention they deserve. Creating a safe and comfortable environment is my top priority. In my home, pets have a cozy and secure space to relax, including a pet-safe pod for quiet time or rest—even though I don’t use a traditional crate. I also have a fully fenced-in backyard where dogs can enjoy fresh air and play safely under supervision. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I treat them with the same love, respect, and attention I gave my own dogs for over 14 years. You can trust that your pet will be in caring and capable hands.
“Lori was absolutely amazing! She was very attentive to my baby and went above and beyond to take care of her. I would highly recommend her and will definitely be booking her again!”
About: Over 20 years of experience of dog walking pet sitting - from puppies to older pups. Currently working towards certification to become a veterinary assistant :) I'm currently on summer vacation as a teacher so I have plenty of time to hang out, play, and walk your pets. During the school year I'm often available on weeknights, weekends, and holidays :) I am currently not hosting pets in my home as I have a grumpy senior dog prone to seizures if overly excited. At your home, I will follow any rules or boundaries that you set in place :)

Peyton is great. She always arrived on time, lived right across the street from me and was very convenient. Diamond loved her and always looked forward to her walks. She let Peyton know when she was tired and wanted to come home. Peyton loved her. Thank you so much. Will use her again. Highly recommend.
Qianyu is an excellent dog sitter/walker and I highly recommend her to anyone that is looking for quality care for their pet-children! She is very punctual, caring, and has excellent communication. I have three very needy dogs who are quite the handful! Qianyu always comes on time, sends pictures and updates of the walks and leaves them happy. I can read my dogs well and can usually tell a good sitter from a not so good one by my dogs' demeanor, and my dogs are always happy with Qianyu - thank you!
We really loved Margaux! She really stepped to the plate during a stressful emergency situation in our family that led to us needing a last min dog walker for our cute Brindi, multiple times a day and for a whole week and then several additional times the following week. She was personable, experienced, punctual, and even did her best attempts during a storm where Brindi was too scared to go outside. We only had to end services as we would noy be able to afford to pay for long term. But we highly recommend Ms. Margaux!!🥰🥰🥰🐈🐈🐈🐈🙏🙏🙏
