Ren was amazing with Gronk. Super easy to communicate with, really thoughtful, and you can tell she genuinely cares. She took him on awesome walks and made sure he got plenty of cuddle time, which is very much his love language. I always felt like he was in great hands, not just being watched but actually cared for and happy. We’re so glad we found her and will definitely be having her back. Highly recommend.

Arianna was incredible with our doggo Padme. Our dog can be a little sassy at times and will refuse to continue on walks unless she is treated (we have spoiled her!) but Arianna kept Padme moving and they had a great time. Really appreciate her working with dogs that have their own mind!

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!

About: I’m a mom of 3 cats ever since I was 20. I learned how to take care of them by their reactions. I also have experience taking care of ill cats. I’m a freelancer work during the day. I’m free before 10am and after 3pm on weekdays. But schedule can change if needed. Weekends are always welcome. I will be very respectful to clients’ properties. And I will record myself the time I’m in the room with their beloved friends. Definitely respect the pets too.

Samantha is a great communicator and caretaker. Samantha is a regular dogwalker for my medium/large rescue lab/shepherd mix named Tofu, who has some level of anxiety. Samantha always updates me if there are changes in schedule or with Tofu’s behaviors during the walk. Samantha also asks questions and is attentive to Tofu’s needs, and has been building a positive consistent relationship. Thank you, Samantha for giving Tofu the exercise he needs!

About: I’m the guy in a crowd your dog will want to meet. I grew up with dogs and want them to feel as comfortable with me as they are at home with you. I’m available most days and times, and with sufficient notice and proximity, can be flexible for your pet care needs. Overnight and boarding is negotiable. I live in a dog-friendly community with a park across the street. No other pets live in my home, so your fur baby will feel safe and secure. Your pet will get a playdate and exercise during our visit with me.

About: I’ve loved animals ever since I was a little girl. I grew up with 3 cats, but I’ve always loved animals of all kinds, big or small. I’m a reliable and attentive person who will always pay close attention to your pet’s needs. My goal is to give your pet the most comfortable experience possible, whether that means playtime, feeding, or simply helping them stay calm and cared for. I always want to provide a safe, loving, and positive experience for every pet. I am currently working part time, which allows me to have more than enough time to spend with your pet! I'm very lenient when it comes to timing so if anything comes up, I'll be very understanding and try to work things out with you! I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel safe and comfortable. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, clean litter boxes if needed, and get attention and playtime based on their personality. I always follow any specific instructions from the owner and keep a calm, clean, and safe environment.

About: I have always had my own dogs and cats throughout my life. I now find myself without a pet and really miss my own pups! Also, I have been working with a Service Dog Trainer in order to train those hard-working dogs! It has been very rewarding, and I also would like to help you with anything that you need help with to allow your dog be the best dog they can be. I am currently working on my training certification full time but since my schedule is flexible, I can meet the time needs of your pet. I am working towards my Training Certification which has been really exciting for me. I will always walk your dog on his/her leash unless I am advised otherwise. I live near a few parks but also enjoy dog walking at the Beach. Dog socialization is important, but your pet's safety and happiness is paramount to me. I live alone so I can devote all of my attention to your pet

About: Hi I'm Christian I live near airport station. I've been walking small and large dogs for years for family and friends as a hobby and part time in different companies. Looking forward to do something I'm passionate about while making a few dollars. I work for wag as well,and am finding the more I do this type of work the more I want to take on. It's one of those jobs you never dread going to because it's what you care about doing so trying comes effortlessly. I encourage people to request me if they want someone with experience and enthusiasm. Available usually weekdays throughout the day and afternoon,and some weekends during the day. Currently am working flexible part-time jobs and am willing to accommodate request. Looking to make the experience a good fit for both you and me. I have a fenced yard in the back and a calm pet free place inside. The location is easy to find and have plenty of experience with other pets at this location. I do freelance part-time jobs,and some per diem jobs, so I have plenty of time to take care of any pets I'm boarding or sitting. I have a porch ,small backyard area and the pet/s can roam free throughout the apartment. Also a park down the st I can take them too if you wanted me to.

About: I've taken care of dogs my entire life! I don't own any at the moment but that just gives me more time to spend with your little fur-baby or babies. I have experience with senior dogs, giving medication, and basic puppy training. I'm also available for overnights, for any anxious little woofers, special needs puppers, or any additional medical or behavioral reasons. I am available for daytime pet sitting! I can be with your puppy or senior dog while you run out for errands or even if you just need a break! Just book me with the details and we can discuss a custom rate. My availability is completely open at the moment, including overnights. Animals are not a side-gig for me. They are my lifelong passion! I will work to fit into your routine. I have done overnight, weekend long, and drop in pet care and dog walking throughout my life. Nothing matters more to me then my client's comfortability and their pet's safety.

Steven walked my dog Dexter for about eight months, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. He was always kind, professional, and genuinely cared about Dexter’s well-being. Both Steven and Tiffany were communicative, reliable, and flexible whenever schedules changed. We’re moving out of the neighborhood and are genuinely sad to be saying goodbye. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog walker.
