About: As a long time dog lover I’m looking for furry friends to keep me company during my cardio sessions around the fan/museum district. My fiancé and I are waiting until after our wedding to get a dog ourselves. I would love to take your dog on walks or runs whichever you prefer. I hope that your dog enjoys the time we spend together just as much as I will. Can’t wait to meet you and your dog. I work from home and am available to walk/run with your furry friends on my lunch break or after work. I’m very active and would enjoy company on my walks/runs. I treat all dogs like my own. I will love and care for them as if they were mine. Their safety and comfort always come first.
14. Jora H.
“Violet loves Jora!!! I think she may even like her more than me. 😂 It’s apparent that Jora is an animal lover through and though, she immediately bonded with Violet and was super communicative through the whole process. I won’t be leaving my dog with anyone else from now on, Jora is the best of the best and I’m sure your fur children will love her just as much as Violet did 😍”
15. Harlee J.
“Harlee took care of my two kitties and was amazing! She was very timely with her check ins and sent very cute pictures. It made me feel secure that my cats were in good hands while I was gone. She also provided great notes and made sure things were clean when I returned. I will definitely be a repeat client when traveling again. Thank you Harlee!!!”

17. Amy D.
“Amy is a great pet sitter. Very reliable, spends time with my cats, takes nice photos. I feel very confident that my pets are in good hands. Thanks, Amy!”
18. Makenzie O.
“Makenzie was awesome. She was very communicative and reliable. Our cats are pretty shy around strangers and she was very patient and able to get them to be relaxed around her which most people cannot do. Thanks so much! I definitely recommend her!”
19. Niely C.
“Niely has a big heart when it comes to animals. Over the years, she has volunteered with cat adoptions and fostering organizations and watched over my pets.”
20. Audrey W.
“Audrey was great!! We arranged several drop-ins during a weekend we had to leave town on short notice. Audrey's updates throughout the weekend made us feel that our cat was being looked after by someone who really cared about her wellbeing. We will absolutely book with Audrey again!”
