“We absolutely love James! What really stood out to us is how much time he took to get to know our pup before even going on their first walk together. He didn’t just show up and clip the leash—he sat with her, probably learned her little quirks, asked questions, and made sure she felt comfortable and safe. That kind of care is rare, and it meant the world to us 💛 Highly, highly recommend!”
“Stephanie was awesome taking care of our dogs while we were on vacation. It was obvious she was experienced and enjoyed spending time with the puppies. We are already planning to reach out to her again for help in future!”
“Xavier was wonderful accommodating a very last minute request for a walk! He was great with communication the whole time and I came home to a happy healthy pup! Would highly recommend- thank you!!”
“Lauren has been an amazing dog walker for my dog, Ginger. She’s kind, reliable, and always gives Ginger the best walks. What I love most is that she takes the time to snap adorable photos of Ginger every single day. It’s such a nice touch! Lauren also keeps me updated on how Ginger is doing, which puts my mind at ease. It’s clear she really cares about the dogs she works with, and Ginger absolutely adores her. I’m so happy to have found Lauren and would highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Would have loved photos, but otherwise super thankful for Rachel’s help. She saved our Thanksgiving! Easy to communicate with, responsive, and showed up right on time/early.”
“Christina is professional and a great communicator. She is great with our dog, and very polite and kind to interact with. Would highly recommend her!”
“Return client here! Nicholas was, as always, incredibly helpful, very professional, and had GREAT communication. I’m extremely happy with the care he provides, and my dog is always so happy to see him. He’s my #1 go to person, and will definitely be using him again!”
About: I’m reliable, trustworthy, and ready to give your dog all the love they’ll be needing when you aren’t there! I’ll be sure to keep your furry friend safe, happy, and well taken care of :) I’m currently unemployed so I have a ton of free time! I just need a heads up in advance so that I can make sure I’m available :) I live in an apartment and do not currently have any pets of my own (although I do have a 4 year old Australian shepherd at my parents house). My apartment is very pet friendly and has tons of grassy areas and walking trails nearby!
About: I’ve helped take care of animals since I was 10 years old. Growing up in a home with dogs and cats made me really appreciate and love these animals. Outside of my own pets, I have always extended my help to any family members or friends that need any assistance to make sure their animals are cared after. Whether it be puppies/kittens to senior dogs/cats, I’ve had experience with all ages and I’d love to meet yours someday! I am currently working from home for my full time job so I can be flexible with my time. Depending on the week I can be available most mornings, mid days and evenings. My current apartment does not allow animals however I am happy to come to wherever your fur baby lives! I will abide by what you ask when it comes to taking care of your furry friend and treat any home I walk into with respect!
“I can't say enough good things about Amanda! My dog, Rampage, is very dog-reactive, barks a lot, and struggles with anxiety—but Amanda handled him like a true professional. She has an incredible ability to read dogs and respond to their needs, and she got Rampage to be calm, which is no small feat! Her patience, skill, and understanding of canine behavior are beyond impressive. It’s such a relief to have someone I can trust to walk my dog safely and confidently. If you need a dog walker who truly knows what they’re doing, Amanda is the best! 🐾🐶”
About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life. I’ll make it my mission to become your pets best friend, and make you feel like I’m giving your pets the amount of love attention they deserve as our companions. Currently I’m working part time from 5 to 11pm during the week. I’ll be available in the mornings until around 3pm when I need to start getting ready for work during the weekdays. I’m usually free throughout the entire weekend so I’ll be open to any and all requests. If you need someone immediately for unexpected situations during the weekend I’m your man. The way I’ll care for pets inside your home is by playing with them so they can get out some of that energy. As well as closely monitoring them to make sure I keep clients updated with any changes or concerns.

Sarah D.
“I highly recommend Sarah as a dog walker and sitter. I’ve trusted her with my own dog on many occasions, and every time I’ve been impressed with her attentiveness and reliability. Dogs immediately take to her — it’s clear they feel comfortable, safe, and happy in Sarah’s care. Sarah is punctual, responsive, and great at sharing updates and photos, which I always appreciate. Whether it's a quick walk or a longer stay, Sarah ensures my dog gets the exercise, attention, and care she needs. If you’re looking for someone dependable who truly gets dogs and treats them like their own, you can’t go wrong with Sarah. As a former Rover walker and sitter, I'd highly recommend Sarah in my place any time!”
