About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, and caring for them is a joy. Whether it's playtime, peaceful walks, or simply being a comforting presence, I’m committed to making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I treat every pet like family and will make sure yours is loved and looked after just like my own. As someone who works from home, I have the flexibility and availability to give your pet the attention they deserve throughout the day. Whether it’s a midday potty break, playtime in the yard, or simply having a consistent presence nearby. Because I’m home during the day, your pet won’t be left alone for long stretches of time. I’m able to keep a close eye on their needs, maintain their routines, and provide lots of love, attention, and cuddles. I have a large yard and outdoor area that’s perfect for running, playing, and getting all that energy out in a safe and secure space. Whether your dog loves to explore or prefers to lounge in the sun, there's plenty of room to enjoy the outdoors. If your pet needs downtime or a quieter environment, I also have comfortable, confined indoor areas where they can relax and feel secure. I'm happy to accommodate different energy levels and personalities.


16. Katie J.

“Katie is a dog lover's dream sitter! Bruno adored her, and I appreciated the regular updates and photos. She's trustworthy, reliable, and gave me peace of mind while I was away. Thank you, Katie!”


17. Staci H.
About: Skilled Dog Walker with 1+ year of experience in providing reliable and safe walks for a variety of breeds. Well-versed in developing positive relationship with pets and owners. I’m currently work full-time during the weekdays but I do have some time boarding dogs for the weekend. I’m always free to take a good care of dogs for weekends when their owner needs some break or out of the town! I live in a house with a huge fenced in backyard with a lot of space for the dogs to play around. I also have two dogs, they get along with any dogs! I also do enjoy taking dogs for a long walk nearby the neighborhood for some fresh air.


18. Foram T.

“Foram and her family are great. They give us updates on our fur baby and send pictures to let us know she is doing well. We will definitely request her again!”


19. Anne R.

“Anne was literally a godsend. We were so stressed to leave our pup and we really had no reason to be. Anne was so loving and communicative. Our dog had a better vacation than us! She had several walks per day. Homemade treats. Lots of playtime. She didn’t want to come home. I cannot recommend Anne enough if you pup is anything like ours and needs personalized attention and days filled with fun.”


20. Dillon H.

“Dillon was great! I’ve never left my puppy before but he made sure to send me pictures and updates during my mini weekend trip. He let my Bo play with his dogs and took him for walks. He’s someone Id recommend to others and will definitely use him again.”
