“Thank you for walking amber again. She is always so excited to walk with someone other than me and she loves it when you take her to the park. Hope you continue to enjoy Amber”

“Fred has been an absolute blessing to our family. Moochy like him immediately and trusted him. She’s usually pretty skittish. Fred was always on time, willing to be flexible if needed, and was just really good with Moochy. I needed someone who was strong to walk mooch because she’s big and strong. Fred had no trouble with it. I had absolute faith in Fred’s ability to handle her. And when Mooch saw his car pull up, she was so happy. I have no trouble recommending Fred to be your dog walker.”


“Had the opportunity to have Jaime watch my dog overnight after using Jaime as a walker. I can tell you we couldn't be more pleased after having Ernie spend 3 nights at Jaime's house.”

About: As a Mommy and animal enthusiast - I take immense pride and joy in my care for ALL babies! We tend to forget that It takes a village to raise ‘em right and I’d be honored to be the chosen addition to helping you raise yours. I currently work “on-call” meaning I have ample amount of free time to invest in to my relationship with your fur babies. Whilst I am a devoted stickler when it comes to scheduling, I also understand that life happens and flexibility is a necessity. I can't allow pets in my apartment because they have a no pet policy allowed but I'm more than able to house sit in the client's home.
About: I have 10+ years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, with a special focus on small pups and senior dogs. Whether your pup needs extra patience, a specific routine, or just a cozy companion, I’m always happy to accommodate 🙂 I currently work a flexible hybrid schedule and have ample room for your dog to play. If you prefer to have your pup in their crate, please kindly let me know as I make my home, their home as well. I prioritize creating a calm, clean, and secure environment where pets feel safe, understood, and cared for. Whether I’m in my home or my client’s home, I focus on consistency, respect, and attentive routines that help animals feel comfortable. I also have a fenced yard for dogs to play freely.
About: I have 12 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds. I’m reliable, patient, and truly love animals. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, puppies, and senior dogs. I treat every dog like family and always make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I’m currently a full-time nursing student, but I have my summer free and a flexible schedule for anything! I enjoy staying active and spending time with dogs while giving them the attention and care they need. My priority is keeping dogs safe, happy, and comfortable. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions and maintain pets’ routines to reduce stress. I’m attentive during walks and always provide a calm, caring, and trustworthy environment.
“Nicole is awesome! She is very good with dogs. She bonded with our dog Milo for a week. Milo loves walking with her. I'm so glad we found her last minute. She was a great help. We would definitely recommend her.”

About: I have always had pets for as long as I can remember. I have raised puppies & kittens, fostered and loved on seniors of all kinds. Some pets include dogs, cats, rabbits, gerbils, guinee pigs, turtles, snakes and geckos. I teach full time from 7:30am to 3:00pm I am available to love on your four (mostly) legged babies in the afternoons, evenings, my days off, holidays and weekends. If there was a need to care for pets in my home I would have a separate space for your fur babies to rest comfortably.
“Jessica is professional and kind. My dog liked her upon meeting her. She is good with messaging promptly. She has followed my requests for how to go about interacting with my dog and locking up the house. 5 stars!”

About: I work as a wildland firefighter. In the winters I like to get the critter love I don't get in the summer. I enjoy practiceing training with pets, I watch friends dogs and cats while they go on vacation. Help with farm critters and house projects. It's nice to be around animals and help others out. I've got an open schedule the next few months. Love walking or running in the mornings and evenings. Weekends and Fridays are typically open during the work week. Pets are usually more comfortable in their own home. So I'd prefer to take care of them there. I have a very open place right next to the river with some space to play. For kitties there are plenty of nap spots in the house. There's parks within a short distance and trails to run. I’m currently doing mostly short term work and home projects so there is a lot off time for breaks to go for a walk or get some pets in. I have a nice open home with plenty of nap spots. I can crate your pet if needed. They will not be alone for extended periods of time and can join me most of the time if I have to be away for awhile.
“Alyssa is AWESOME! When our jobs asked us to start coming back to the office, Alyssa helped give Hero a little bit of excitement in the middle of his day. She was on time, gave Hero lots of love, and helped give us peace of mind while we were away. She also always sent loads of pictures, which we always appreciated. We would have gladly kept using Alyssa's services if we hadn't moved. 1000% recommend.”

“Hayley is extremely responsible, has great communication and is on time for all scheduled visits. She did an amazing job with drop-in visits and dog walks and left us very comfortable while we were away. Will definitely be using her next time. Thanks, Hayley!”

About: I’ve worked at my local animal shelter for the past three summers as well as interning at a couple of vet clinics. I’m confident in reading animal cues and providing based on pets’ needs. I have a great passion for taking care of animals, especially those that you hold near and dear. I’m currently home for the summer and fitting in Rover during my free weekdays. I am flexible and will do everything I can to adjust to your preferred schedule! I prioritize your individual pets’ needs. Care will be completed in a timely manner, respectfully, and with utmost care towards your pet. Feel free to send instructions or details about your pet so I can best provide for them!
About: I fostered for two years multiple puppies. I taught them tricks and learned how to bathe dogs properly. I’m very patient and love taking multiple walks with my dog everyday! I have a very flexible schedule that I can accommodate to your needs! I am available for boarding on the weekend. And pet sitting on holidays. I have a friendly dog to keep your dog company. In the area that I live we have several dog friendly walking paths. I have a huge backyard as well.
About: I have always been a dog person. I only have one dog, but I love him with my whole heart. I have been taking care of my neighbors golden retriever on and off for around 5 years now, whenever the owner is away for work. I can work with any size dog, and any breed. I only work part time right now, and for these next two weeks, I am not working at all! I work at a school, so I also get Christmas break off. I start school again in January, but I still will have a decently open schedule. Whatever the client needs, I will do! I am more looking to do drop ins, and walks, but I am more than willing to stay with the pup for a bit and play with them to take some of their energy out.
