“Caroline was super accommodating with our young puppy's (and our) needs. She was up for us walking along with her, so our puppy could get feel more comfortable around her for the first meeting. Definitely will be requesting Caroline again for help with our puppy!”
“Ricky helped me out last minute when I threw out my back by walking my energetic goldendoodle multiple mornings in a row. He was timely, easygoing, and flexible and pup was excited every time he came to the door!”
“Andrew was on time and totally respectful. He was very calm with our hyper puppy and did a great job of letting the pup come/warm up to him. We had a few requests (sitting at sidewalks and heeling by people) that make walking the pup a little more work. Andrew was more than happy to work with all of our requests. Definitely recommend!”
“Rebecca has been wonderful with my skiddish dog and also with my boisterous overly friendly dog. She’s reliable and provides detailed updates. It is apparent she has a true love of dogs! ?”
“Ronnie was very through with the preparation for service. Asked plenty of questions about habits and routines. Was punctual, and provided exactly what I needed, and will be my 1st ask if necessary in the future.”
“Tina was very friendly, right on time for pick up & drop off! She shared all the things he did on the walk! I would definitely request her services again!”
About: I'm very comfortable with dogs and I enjoy getting to know their personalities and spending time with them. I have experience with pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs & cats requiring palliative care, ensuring they remain comfortable and well cared for. I have also boarded dogs while clients were out of town. I would love to brighten your pet's day, reach out with a request! I'm a freelance worker so my schedule is very flexible, please feel free to reach out and I can adjust to your schedule and needs! I make sure each fur baby feels welcomed and as comfortable as they would be at home. They can lay on furniture and roam in a comfy space and soak up the sun.
“Emily is lovely and my Maddie immediately felt comfortable with her. I was able to schedule with her same day which is great. We will definitely be contacting her regularly. ?”
“Perfect! John was so very nice and friendly to both me and Teddy. He knew just how to treat a young dog with very little experience walking along with a strange person and also handle the anxiety Teddy gets when he sees or hears larger animals. Our experience(s) were great and we will book with you again John. Thank You, Donna, Julia, and Teddy”
About: Hi! My name’s Misa and I’ve been an animal lover since I was a kid. Once my family got our first dog when I was 8 years old, we were inseparable. She was my partner in crime~ Now I have a cat of my own and he owns my heart! He’s pretty food motivated so I clicker trained him, and he knows about 10 tricks :D He also has some health issues so I’m familiar with giving cats medication. I recently graduated with my master’s from the UR and I’m still in the process of looking for a job. Which means my schedule is super flexible to hang out with your pet! I’m detail oriented, reliable, and respectful of your space and your pets~ I'm currently on the job hunt after finishing my master's degree so my schedule is very flexible to accommodate drop-ins in the morning or afternoon as well as the evening~ I'll do my best to adhere to your pet's normal routine and of course be respectful of their boundaries. I'll follow any instructions given and reach out if any further clarification is needed!
About: I have been providing dog and cat care for friends and family over 30 years. I am very attentive to animal emotional and physical needs. I am currently unemployed and available at any time with reasonable advanced notice. I can do overnight or day sitting as well as potty break/walking visits. I have plenty of outdoor space to take pets on leashed walks. I also enjoy taking dogs on nature hikes with difficulty based on age and ability.
“Jacqueline is very professional and takes great care of my dogs! She’s always on time and very responsive. She takes care of the house and makes sure to wipe paws from the snow or rain. Definitely recommend her services if you need a reliable walker/sitter!”
About: From high-energy pups to more anxious or reserved dogs, I have the skills and experience to take care of all of your pups needs! I love every pet like they're my own, making sure they feel as safe and comfortable as possible. I'm a grad student with night classes coming up part-time this fall, meaning I have lots of time during the day to take care of your pet! When I care for pets in their own home, I cater to their needs - whether that's giving lots of attention, playtime, or snuggles. I'm always careful to respect household rules and keep everything clean and safe. I'll also keep you updated on a regular basis, and make sure to send lots of pictures while you're away!
“Hannah is wonderful! I tend to be a bit anxious leaving my dog with others but I know my dog is in great hands with Hannah, and love seeing the happy pictures from their walks.”

Rebecca leaves the absolute best notes about her visits!! It really puts a smile on my face when I’m away from my dog and cat but missing them. She also gives them a ton of love—they are happy as clams with her and they get excited when she comes over to see them. Highly recommend Rebecca!!
Anika is phenomenal! Treated my very anxious pup with the same love and patience I would give him. Reliable and communicates well with me. My daughter enjoyed your company. I highly recommend and will be using her services again. Thank you so much Anika for making my first time away easy for me!
