“Lorraine is great with my dog, Gerb. She has walked her numerous times and has visited her multiple times a day while I was out of town. I dont think the dog even noticed i was gone. Lorraine truly loves her and I couldn't ask for more.”
“Nikolas has been walking TB and Dolla for a while now. He is professional, punctual, and kind. The extra exercise mid week is a great help for my active lil guys. Thanks Nikolas!”
“Rosemary is an amazing walker! She always stays the full time and she walks my dog really far. I really appreciate her and she sends photos and videos. My dog and cats love her! Thank you Rosemary!”
“Stephanie was such a sweetheart to my girl, Blue :) she was always on time and even walked her a little longer than the 30 mins. I can tell Blue felt comfortable with her and I felt comfortable leaving her in Stephanie’s care. Will definitely rebook in the future!”
“Becca is seriously the best dog walker our babies have had! She understands that they are valued family members and treats them as such. Beyond that she is super responsive and punctual. It has always hard for us to find people who we could fully trust with our babies but I 1000% her to care for them. They are both seniors and she totally understands their needs and that gives us the peace of mind and confidence with them in her care. THANK YOU!”
“Zainab was wonderful! She agreed to check in on my pets on such short notice, promptly scheduling a meet and greet and making sure the pets were familiar with her. She provided great pictures and updates. Will use again for sure!”
“Pamela is reliable and responsive! She took great care of our dog and took the time to give extra cuddles to our other animals. I definitely would use her again and recommend her to others!”
About: I truly love the company of animals and treat every pet I watch as if they were my own. I understand that every dog and cat has a different 'vibe'—I’m happy to be a high-energy playmate for active pups or a quiet, comforting lap for senior or shy pets. Whether it’s a quick neighborhood stroll or spending the afternoon together at your house or mine, I prioritize your pet’s happiness and safety above all else. I’d love to help give you a break and give your pet a fun new friend! Since I am home for the majority of the day, I can provide your pet with consistent, dedicated attention and frequent outdoor breaks. I genuinely enjoy the companionship of animals and look forward to making sure yours feels right at home I live in an apartment, I have two children (11 and 13), I can walk my dog on the street, on the territory of my complex or nearby, for example on the trail and in the park ( I have a big one not far from my home).
“Sarah is very punctual, takes Finley on long walks, and plays with her some before she leaves! She has been great and Finley is nice and worn out and happy for when I get home. She treats Finley like her own. I would definitely recommend.”
About: I enjoy spending time helping families care for their pets. I’m a dog and cat mom myself, and enjoy my days off walking and playing with pets. My family and I foster dogs a few times a year and help get them adopted. I work part-time in healthcare, therefore I have some free time during my weeks and weekends to help walk dogs and and help care for them as needed. I care for cats as well. I’m flexible, fun, kind, and happy to help your pet feel loved. I can walk, feed, and play with you dogs and cats as needed. I truly care for the animals as you would.
“We love Katherine and so happy we decided to set this up for our mini golden doodle Rosie. Rosie is very high energy and a walk during the day while we both are at work has helped her to not be as anxious upon our arrival. She brought a package in one day which was above and beyond. We love all the pictures and we are extremely happy with this service. 💞”
“Laura was great! We need help walking our energetic 50 lb 8 month mix breed pit shepherd (Fozzy) for 7 days straight at 7:30 am. Laura was on time every day and she even played some fetch with him at the end of the walk.”
“Emily was great!!! She was able to accommodate our very last minute request. She was on time for all her walks with Addie, and she followed our instructions and kept us updated with photos.”
About: I've taken care of pets since I was 8 years old. As a pet owner myself of a dog and 2 cats, I've had a love for animals since I could remember. I love learning and understanding animals and reassuring them that they'll have a long and healthy life. I have experience in helping with the training of young animals as well as dealing with animals with dietary and environmental allergies. I've assisted in helping both cats and dogs with medication and dietary needs. As a pet owner myself, my goal is to ensure a happy pet who is well taken care of all around and loved! I'm currently not working and have an open availability! I have plenty of time to care for and play with your pets! As a pet owner myself, I follow instructions to a T when it comes to feedings and walk times. I'm a huge advocate for keeping the client's home as it is found, and better! I keep the home clean and clean up for the pets as I go, and make sure to leave the surrounding area clean as well!

Karissa is exactly who we needed for our sitter/companion for our Husky. She had excellent communication, prompt responses to all messages, very kind and sweet, and mindful. She was so thorough, understood dog behavior very well, knew exactly what to do depending on how our dog interacted with her each day, and always provided adequate discussion of anything needed. She went above and beyond, and took such great care while we were visiting family. Our husky needs lots of exercise and she helped make sure she got that everyday. I will definitely be booking with her again anytime I need a sitter/walker if she is available. Truly grateful she was so helpful and supportive.

Cara was right on time. She was friendly and patient with Hutch. She even had a treat for him!! (After asking permission of course). We talked about his harness and his leash. She gave me some great pointers. Of course he behaved perfectly for her 😂 but I'm ready for our next adventure. Cara is great with the dog, and the human!!
Sophia walked my 1.5 year old lab mix Oscar and was so good with him we decided to have him board with her. It was our first time ever leaving him at a sitter’s house so we were anxious dog parents but Sophia kept us updated and took amazing care of him. We will be using her again! Oscar was so happy and well-cared for. Thank you, Sophia!!!
