“Tia was amazing! Super responsive to text which was great and took amazing care of our dog! Our dog loved her and looking forward to using her in the future for walking or dog sitting”
“I landed in the ER and needed someone to walk my dog while I was in the hospital because my 92 yr old mother couldn't do it. I found Luke, who actually lived very close to my home. Luke is a very friendly, polite, courteous, and caring person who loves dogs. He took excellent care of my 15 yr old dog while I was in the hospital for a couple days and for two days after, which really helped me a LOT. Luke loves animals and I never worried about my dog while he was in Luke's care. Thanks so much Luke for all you did!”
About: I am a current dog mom and have experience with a variety of dogs and cats. I would love to care for your fur kids! I am an active person and enjoy being outdoors. I work full time and nearby with varying hours that allow me to care for pets. I always ensure my dogs’ safety by keeping them in a fenced-in area or on a leash. I value each dog’s unique personality and tailor services accordingly.
“Santos came to the rescue when I was out of town. I looked up sitters for the location we were traveling to so our dog could be occupied while our whole family visited someone urgently in the hospital. He responded quickly and professionally. Definitely recommend.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was about 14 years old. For my 14th birthday I asked for a dog and we named him max. Max was a Maltese and he grew up with epilepsy and sadly passed away when he was 5 years old from the disease. I now have two 3 year old dogs one is named Charlie and he is a lab mix the other is named king who we recently adopted from the shelter and he is a pit mix. I am well experienced caring for all kinds of pups! I am currently trying to build up my customer base for my new dog walking business called QC Paws On The Go. So I am very dedicated to finding people who need a little extra help making sure their pup gets everything they need on a daily basis! I can only offer services at the clients home. Unfortunately my newly adopted dog named king is quite reactive and territorial due to his troubled past of abuse and neglect. I can offer daily walks or if your pup likes to stay at home I can come by and get some play time in the yard and any other care that is needed!

Susan N.
“Susie dogsat/house sat my 3 dogs for a week and got way more than she bargained for! My youngest Golden ate a pair of socks the day before we left on vacation and ended up having emergency surgery the day that we left. Susie coordinated with my mom to have Teddy picked up from surgery and transported to the house, and from there she took care of everything! Susie and her daughter took care of Teddy after surgery as if he was her own! She slept on the couch with him at night since he couldn't go upstairs, took him out on a leash several times a day, gave him his medications at 2 a.m., fed him a special diet, kenneled him, etc., all while managing my other two big dogs. She did a fantastic job and had no qualms about taking care of Teddy. All three of my boys LOVED her and had a great time! She sent pics showing how happy they were, she took the two healthy ones for a walk, and swam with them in the pool. She even picked up pooper-scooped the yard! I would recommend her in a heartbeat and plan to use her services again later this month!”
