Lillian continues to be not only dependable and caring but when my poor old dog was in her last days and my other dog was gross sick she went above and beyond to care for them. I am so appreciative.

About: I've been taking care of pets in my neighborhood and with friends/family since I was 10, and I've really built up a passion and know-how for animal care. Here's what I'm good at: * I've got experience with all sorts of dogs, from bouncy puppies to chill older dogs, so I can figure out what each one needs. * Cats of every age, from playful kittens to senior felines – I get their needs. * I'm also really good at caring for senior dogs and cats, making sure they're comfy and happy with special routines. As I am currently unemployed, I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate most day and night requests, whether it's a midday walk or vacation check-ins. I prioritize the safety and well-being of every pet in my care. I am meticulous about following all pre-established rules of the home and pet, ensuring a comfortable and secure environment for them. I am also flexible and adaptable, willing to adjust to the specific needs and preferences of each animal and their owners.

Camila was wonderful! She helped us out in a last minute situation where we needed a walker. She was quick to respond and accept the request, and receptive to all of the information I sent along! Camila sent pictures and provided us with a detailed walk card and I felt very comfortable with my pup in her care. Thanks, Camila!

About: I have a had a dog for 17 years as my family dog. I helped walk her, feed her, play with her, and in general care for her. I lived with a dog for 6 months when my previous roommate had a dog. I helped feed her, take her for walks, and was able to put her in her crate when needed. I am a teacher so I am unavailable during the day on weekdays. I am available in the evenings during the week and throughout the day on weekends. I am unavailable to care for your pets in my home. In your home I can comfortably put your dog in a crate, if needed

About: Hi! My name is Ghita. I’ve always been surrounded by animals and have loved them deeply since I was a child. Back in my home country, I grew up around dogs, cats, and other pets! they’ve always been part of my daily life and my heart. I recently moved to the U.S., and one of the things I was most excited about was the chance to work with animals again. Being around them brings me so much joy, peace, and purpose. I’m gentle, attentive, and very responsible. I’ll treat your dog as if they were my own. Whether it’s a fun walk, some playtime, or quiet cuddles, I’ll make sure your pet feels happy, safe, and loved. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine because I have plenty of free time and truly enjoy spending it with animals. I’m available and flexible, which allows me to give each pet the time, attention, and care they deserve. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or cuddles, I love making them part of my day! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always make sure they feel loved, calm, and secure in a clean and caring environment.

Emily was amazing! She took the time to meet my dogs beforehand, which made me feel so much more comfortable. During her visit, she followed all instructions perfectly, made sure they went outside, and gave them their snacks before leaving. She also sent updates and pictures, which I really appreciated! My dogs clearly liked her, which means everything to me (they’re my babies!). I’ll definitely be reaching out to her again!!

I was impressed with Daniel right from the start! He is a very humble, respectful, responsible, kind young man who loves animals. My dog Sophie immediately took to him and she would have great walks with him. I asked a lot from Daniel when I went on holiday…and he delivered! He came to my home for 10 days to not only walk my dog but also feed her…give her medicine, and as a bonus, he played with her. Socializing w Sophie went a long way because she was alone most of the time. He would always be on time and, when another dog walker canceled, he quickly covered that shift. No questions or higher charge. He sent a lot of photos too. Since I’ve been back from my holiday, I’ve been in poor health. I texted Daniel and he is now my dog walker on days when I’m unable to take Sophie out myself. Again, punctual & always thinking about what’s best for my dog…. For example, He remembers to dry Sophie’s paws when they arrive from a walk in the snow or rain. I highly recommend Daniel as your dog walker or sitter.

About: I love all dogs, but I've grown up taking care of primarily large dogs like Pitbulls. My neighbors rely on me very often to take care of their pets when needed. I currently have a very flexible schedule while I am going to college online. I am available during the week and some weekends! Pet care is already built into my daily routine, so please let me know how I can make your day easier by spending some time with your fur baby. During the walks your fur baby is my main focus. I love going for long walks to get some energy out, but short walks are also nice. I walk my sweet dog separately from other fur babies to alleviate the stress of dog introductions.

I’ve used Megan several times now to walk my six-year-old boxer pug mix, Basil, and she’s been great! Megan is punctual, flexible with scheduling, and Basil wiggles with excitement when she sees Megan coming to the door. They have become fast friends and it’s super convenient that she’s in the neighborhood.
