“Annie is amazing! She is so good with my dogs and my cat. They look forward to seeing her and she takes so many awesome photos that you feel like you were right there with them.”
“We recently hired Claudine as our weekly dog walker and were extremely happy with how the first week went. Our dog, Buster, is a recent adoption, and we were unsure how he would take to a new person walking him when we went back to work, but Claudine was great with him. She was patient and understanding, really taking in his needs to ensure that he felt safe and happy. We are delighted to have Claudine as part of our weekly walking routine with Buster and would highly recommend her for anyone looking into this service.”
“I knew from the second we met Kelsey that she would be fabulous. She loves my dogs like they are her own. She’s very responsible, always on time and my two boys love her.”
“Elissa is amazing! She is super nice and very responsible. She walks my dog several times a week and I never had an issue. Always on time and she makes sure he gets good exercise and some play time. Highly recommend!”
“I highly recommend Ewelina. Ewelina was great with my Rosie. My Rosie who’s a Shih Tzu can be a little difficult at times but was happy to have Ewelina. When she refused to go out for a walk, Ewelina was able to play with her and coax her into putting on her harness and leash. She took great care of her between walking and playing. Will definitely use her again.”
“Tracy was great with Sailor. Sailor tends to be nervous when meeting new people and Tracy was patient and gentle with her. Sailor came back calm and happy from her walk.”
“Digdem is a gem! We are so pleased to have found her in the area. She takes great care of our pup, Móle - who always comes back so happy and exhausted from play time.”
“Jonny is absolutely amazing!! He is so kind, professional, flexible and (most importantly) incredible with our dog. We feel very lucky to have found him and know that our dog is always in the best hands with him!”
About: I have had pets my whole life, dogs, hamsters, rabbits, fish, even a cat! I love all animals and would love to care for your fur baby! I also worked in an animal hospital for a year in college! I work odd hours so my availability changes but I am looking to replace one of my jobs with Rover! I know my schedule in advance so my availability as it shows will be accurate. I’m home most mornings until about 1:30 and then I am only gone until 5. I will take your pet on long walks and make sure to play and offer lots of enrichment, as well as belly scratches and love while you’re away! I can crate your dog if necessary and if provided.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10, and I even have my own dog Toby who is 13 and my absolute baby. I regularly walk my tenants dog and my neighbors dog twice a day whenever I don’t have sports. Families have always relied on me to walk, feed, and give their pets tons of love and I’m committed to making every dog feel safe and happy. Pet care fits well into my routine because I’m fully available every Sunday and most of Saturday. I plan around my sports schedule, so weekends are the perfect time for me to give dogs my full attention. I always make sure I have enough time to walk, play with, and care for each pet. I always put safety and trust first when caring for pets. I follow each owners routines, use leashes on every walk, and make sure pets are never left unsupervised. Whether I’m in my home or a client’s home, I keep the environment calm, clean and comfortable. I treat every dog like my own 13 year old Toby, giving them lots of attention and care so they always feel safe and loved.
“I recently moved to the area for work, and one of my top priorities was finding a dependable dog walker. I can confidently say that I’ve found the perfect one in Jon. He’s been absolutely wonderful. My dog Rosie tends to be quite anxious around new people, but Jon has been so patient and understanding, allowing her to build trust with him at her own pace. I can’t recommend Jon highly enough!”
About: I grew up with animals - dogs, rabbits, birds, mice, turtles and fish. I would’ve had cats too if members of my family weren’t so allergic. As a teen I volunteered with friends at our local animal shelter and chose to work with the cat population because most of the volunteers wanted to walk the dogs. Most recently I trained my own dog - starting from when she was 6 weeks old. I used a combination of training techniques (including crate training) to successfully potty-train her, teach her to walk on a leash and eventually teach her to hike and run together off-leash. My dog is now 3 years old and I bring her to my grandmother’s assisted living facility. She interacts with and plays appropriately with other dogs, pets, adults and children of all ages. She is a secure dog and adaptable to any environment. I believe my dog’s calm and friendly demeanor is a direct reflection of my skills. I’m prepared to handle dogs across the spectrum of sizes and energy levels. I live close to many beautiful parks and trails, some with dedicated areas for dog-play. I will closely follow any instructions you have for feeding, exercising, sleeping and socializing your precious pet. I work part-time from home and set my own schedule so I am able to dedicate the appropriate time and attention to your pet easily.

About: During my time there, I handled various dog breeds and played/walked dogs of all ages, including senior dogs and puppies. I have worked with animals that have disabilities. I also have walked and played with my family and friend’s dogs when they needed a dog sitter. Prior to dog walking my family friends dogs, I was a Pet Care Specialist for several months at Morris Animal Inn. I’m currently working part time so I’ll have plenty of time to take care of your animal and/or animals! I am available on week days, and/or weekends if needed. I will make sure your animals safety is my top priority, and can give them treats if needed. From working at Morris Animal Inn, I have experience and knowledge of working with animals.
About: I treat every pet like my own, giving them patient, reliable, and attentive care. You can count on me to keep your furry friend safe, happy, and loved with every visit. What Pet care is already a natural part of my daily life I have two pets of my own, so my week is built around feeding, walking, playtime, and keeping animals happy and healthy. Adding your pets into my routine is easy and enjoyable, because caring for animals is something I do every single day. While pet sitting, I follow the same level of care I give my own pets regular feeding, fresh water, clean spaces, and plenty of attention and comfort. I stick to each pet’s routine, monitor their behavior closely, and make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for until you’re home.
About: I grew up with a golden retriever since i was 8 years old; 7 years ago i added a brother and sister toy poodle pair whom i am absolutely in love with; theyre my besties. I am currently a stay at home mom with two toy poodles- it is my pleasure and joy to take care of the right pups- i wish i could take them all on! I am home almost 24/7 aside from the occasional non-dog errand; i am a total animal person- and we visit the dog park almost daily in order to socialize. Honestly, if I can make a living out of watching peoples dogs, it'll be my dream job!

Our pet is friendly, well-socialized, and used to a consistent routine. They respond well to structure, positive reinforcement, and regular activity, and they do best with someone who is attentive and patient. Dayra was a great fit because she is responsible, reliable, and genuinely loves animals. She’s attentive to details, follows routines carefully, and is very observant of behavior and needs. Dayra is calm, trustworthy, and takes commitment seriously, which makes her well-suited to providing a safe, caring, and stable environment for our pet.
Kelsey did a great job walking Koda! She was on time, super easy to communicate with, and really good with him. Koda came back happy and relaxed, which says it all. You can tell she genuinely cares about dogs. Would definitely book her again and highly recommend! 🐾
Donna couldn’t have been more reliable, professional or friendly! She followed our specific instructions with ease and kept me posted along the way. I had no reason to worry and knew our dog was in great hands! I would happily request her help with our best four-legged friend again!
Alyssa was absolutely great! She walked my two dogs and took the time to get to know them. My one dog is very energetic and super friendly where as my other dog is questionable when it comes to new people, Alyssa was very patient with both of them and made sure to give each of them individual attention before their walk. Which was great because I was nervous since they never been walked by someone new. Plus both dogs ended up loving her which was an ultimate bonus! I definitely recommend Alyssa!
David walked my pup and refilled her bowls. He did everything with her perfectly fine. My only feedback was, if he was not on time during the scheduled timeframe, he did not give me a heads up. I personally appreciate notice that you’re going to be an hour+ later. If that doesn’t bother you too much, then he’s great for your pup.
