6. Kevin C.
“Kevin is wonderful! He was the first sitter to actually walk Finn for the full 30 minutes and give him the exercise he needs. Kevin is responsible, communicative, and very knowledgeable about dogs and how to care for them. He even continued some light training with Finn on their walk which is so helpful as we’ve been working on good leash manners. I’m very happy to have found a dog walker I trust and that my dog adores. I highly recommend Kevin to anyone in search of a great dog walker!”

About: I grew up on a farm, went to college for pre-vet, and I love animals. I have 2 cats (ages 18 and 2) and 1 dog (age 4). I've trained my own dog, and I reinforce training you have implemented and offer suggestions on dog training. I've rescued and fostered cats as well in the past. I have experience in many pets including dogs, cats, rabbits, snakes, turtles, hamsters, guinea pigs, and a few backyard chickens. I would love to care for your baby and would treat them like my own with love! I'm available anytime from 9am til 9pm. I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to work different needs into my time. If additional care is needed outside these hours, please let me know and we can see about working something out. For pets who are staying at your home, I come and make sure they have fresh water and food, check any areas for accidents or spilled or knocked over items, and scoop any litter boxes for cats. If we're doing a walk, I walk them for 15 mins, and give scratches and cuddles. Whether it is okay for me to give treats is up to your preference. For pets staying with me, as long as they are safe with children and other dogs and cats, they are free range in my home. We take longer walks most days if they stay here, depending on the weather, and we have a large yard we play in. I'm home during the day mostly so they would get frequent outside breaks.
8. Richard G.
“He has a heart of gold, provides a brilliant time for the dogs, knows what he’s doing with them, is worth every penny and then some! Best dog-walker/carer we ever had. And his photo updates would reassure me and absolutely make my day! In every photo, Milo was mid air, ears back, going at full speed with a look of pure joy on his face. He has been flexible around my work schedule, goes above and beyond the call of duty to make sure that Milo is taken care of when I'm away, and is just a really kind and lovely person who is a pleasure to interact with.”
9. Antanasia A.
“Great experience. I’m glad Frank was so taken care of.”
10. Hannah E.

11. Anna E.
“Anna did such a great job walking Riley! Would recommend to everyone.”
12. Devin C.
“Devin is a natural with animals. He clearly loves them and they love him. Devin is responsible, reliable, consistent, and extremely caring. My little Pomeranian gets so excited to see him, and I can relax knowing that he is such good hands. I completely trust Devin with my fur baby.”
13. Savanna P.
“Savanna has been my saving grace! She is consistently available to do extended, overnight stays with my dog at my house. She is always prompt with communication, has never cancelled or forgotten a date, and she is really casual with texting (which is my preference!). She always sends pictures and cute updates (ie, "He's grumpy today", "We have lots of energy and can't stop chewing on our bones"). I feel so good knowing my baby is in great hands when I have to be gone for extended work trips.”

Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine as I have the flexibility & time to provide undivided attention.

When caring for pets in my home I create a safe, clean, & welcoming environment tailored to their needs. When carrying for pets in a client’s home, I stick to the pets established routines, keep the home clean, & provide regular updates to reassure the owner.
