“The dogs loved their walk with Kaitlyn. They were tuckered out when they got back and slept soundly while I worked from home. Perfect situation! Can’t wait for their next walk today!”


“Anvesha was great with my sweet boy! She was reliable and communicated well! Sent a lot of pictures and updates after the walk! :) Will definitely book her again”


“Lauren is truly great! Our meet and greet was so warm and reassuring, and her communication has been impeccable from the start. She really took the time to understand that my dog has some anxiety, and I trust her professional judgment completely when it comes to handling that with care and confidence. Her updates are always solid and thoughtful, and I’m so excited for her to continue walking my dog. Highly recommend!”


About: I’ve been living with large and small breed dogs my entire life and there’s nothing I enjoy more. I’m very active and any fur baby you bring my way will receive lots of love and exercise. I have a part time job that takes me from house about 3 times a day for no longer than 4 hours at a time. In the meantime I have 3 amazing roomates who will also be entertaining and loving on your dog. I have a sweet 1 yr. old female lab at my house that is sure to also help entertain! I’ve worked at a dog kennel before, and I understand all the care and requirements dogs. Your dog will be loved just as much as my own! I’m currently working full time, but my job is extremely flexible, and I can easily adjust hours. I live a very active life style, and I love to go on walks. I’ve learned recently how much I don’t enjoy walking without a dog. When I have your pet, they will be my number one priority. As if they were my own again. I can only care for your pet in your own home (depending on the temperament and size of dog, this could changed). I have dog sat for most of my clients in their own home, and I would be happy to provide references! Every client I have had has been reoccurring and often refer me to their friends!

“Joseph is unbelievably kind and is very kind to my dog. She's so excited to see him when he arrives and he does such a wonderful job of loving on her and caring for her. He's prompt, communicative, kind, and reliable. When I had to make changes in my schedule at the last minute, he was extremely understanding and flexible. He does a great job and I will continue to rebook him.”


“Breckyn was a lifesaver when I ended up in a pinch over a weekend. We were able to schedule a meet & greet super quickly, and she left thorough notes about each walk. She even pointed out an overgrown claw + sent pictures of my cats too. Really put me at ease! Thanks so much!”


About: I have loved animals for as long as I can remember and finally became a pet paw-rent four years ago to my two cats. While I love my feline friends, I also have a special place in my heart for our canine companions, as I often care for my sister’s two pups: a Jack Russell/rat terrier mix and a pug. I have experience caring for kitten/puppy age all the way to seniors. I understand the importance of enrichment for both dogs and cats and would love to break out your animal’s favorite toys during our visit. I also love walking with dogs to explore their world, whether that’s on city streets or nature trails. I have experience with basic puppy training (including crate and leash training). I’m also experienced with basic health concerns and administering medicine as I have cared for my own cat after a dental extraction and also adjusted my other cat’s diet to lose weight (both are happy and healthy now!). If there is a specific concern you’d like me to tend to with your animal, I can certainly help. I look forward to meeting you and your pets and becoming a paws-itive part of both your worlds! I’m currently available for drop ins and walks from the morning into the evening so I can devote plenty of time to your pets. This flexibility also allows me to better cater to your needs, should you need any adjustments. I care for your pets just as I do my own: their comfort, safety, and health are my top priorities. I ensure they are well fed, hydrated, enriched, and comfortable before concluding the visit. I make sure to send plenty of pictures to you so you have ease of mind knowing your animals are receiving the best possible care and experience.

“Riley was great with Jackson! She followed all of my instructions and kept me updated. She was also very flexible which last minute issues which was very appreciated! Would definitely book her again.”


About: Hi there! I’m Brandon — a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for a wide range of pets, from energetic Pitbulls to tiny Dachshunds, and even reptiles and amphibians. I’ve volunteered at Blue Chip Animal Refuge, the SPCA, and other local shelters, including working with more anxious or reactive rescue dogs — one of whom is now part of my family! I’m always on the move, and I bring that same energy to making sure your pet receives the attentive, reliable care they deserve. Whether it’s walking, feeding, playing, or just giving them companionship while you’re away, I’m here to provide calm, confident support — no matter the breed or temperament. Bonus: I have a special love for reptiles and amphibians (my favorite is my crested gecko 🦎), so if your household includes more exotic pets, I’ve got you covered too. Let’s make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away! Animals are a great way to distress for me. As someone who is an avid hiker walker and runner. I enjoy bringing the animals with me and also entertaining them in myself with various games. We have a large yard in the woods. We have two indoor cats, two outdoor cats and currently a dachshund and a beagle. Take them on daily walks and usually get about 30 to 45 minutes playing in the yard.

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was in high school from walking them, to stopping by to feed them and let them out to staying overnight with them. I have 2 dogs of my own and have even fostered many dogs and cats while I was in college. I love pets and will treat yours as my own! I’m currently working full-time in Charlotte, but I work from home on Mondays and Fridays and am available most weekends! During weekdays (Tues - Thurs) I would not be available until after 5 pm, but Friday - Sunday I am available to come keep your pets company, feed them, and take them on walks! I’m very clean and organized and would never leave your house a mess. I’m available for anything that you or your pet(s) need. Whether it’s staying and caring for your pets or coming over as needed, I will always give your pets the same amount of love and attention.

About: I’ve been caring for pets since I became best friends with the dogs on my walk home from the bus stop at age 10. I love spending time with dogs of all sizes and ages, building trust, and becoming a familiar friend to them. I take pride in being reliable and attentive, treating every pet like my own. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m available on weekdays and some weekends, so I have plenty of flexibility! I’d love to use that time to give your pets the care and attention they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priorities. I take time to learn their routines, needs, and personality to help them feel at ease. In your home, I’ll respect your space and follow care instructions closely whether it’s feeding, walking, playtime, or special care. With lots of attention and patience, I aim to keep pets relaxed and stress-free while you’re away.

“It was our first time using Rover and Karen and Xavier communicated so well with us while we were away. Our two dogs have a lot of energy and can be a handful but they took great care of them and sent us detailed updates on how they were doing and lots of pictures. We’ll definitely be booking walks with them in the future!”


“Amber did an amazing job walking Gungi! She was reliable, friendly, and made sure Gungi got the exercise and attention he needed. I could tell he was happy and well-cared for after their walks. I’ll definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great dog walker!”

I can’t say enough great things about Lauren. As my first time using the app/service I was highly impressed. Throughout each walk, Lauren updated with daily photos and messages, letting me know how things were going. It gave me such peace of mind to know my dog was being loved, walked, and cared for like one of their own. I came home to a happy dog. If you’re looking for someone reliable, kind, and truly passionate about pets, I highly recommend Lauren. I’ll definitely be booking again!

Joseph was wonderful and would highly recommend! We appreciate how communicative and responsive he is, and he was able to handle multiple dogs on short notice. You can tell through the photos he sent how much our pups were well taken care of. We will for sure be using him again in the future!

I can’t recommend Lindsay enough. She walks my dog, Benson, twice a week and is always extremely communicative. It has become the highlight of my week when Lindsay sends me pictures of her and Benson’s walk. Lindsay is reliable, responsible, and clearly has a deep caring for animals.

We love Olivia! She was on time and so sweet. She went above and beyond while walking Seamus—they did a full mile in 30 minutes! My boy was pooped when he got back, which definitely helped ease my guilt on a busy day. She made me feel very comfortable and reassured me that he was well behaved. It’s always a little nerve-wracking handing the leash over and hoping they behave themselves, but she handled it perfectly. We’ll definitely be contacting her again for walks. Thanks again, Olivia!
