“I could not recommend Tess more- so reliable and attentive to care instructions and communicative about the walks. Tess was also flexible with me when I needed to modify a walk. I greatly appreciated her care for our 12 year old greyhound and it’s clear our grey felt very happy and calm around Tess. We will be booking again! Thank you!”

About: Hi there! I'm a lifelong dog lover with over 14 years of experience caring for dogs of various ages. I have a 5-year-old Australian Shepherd back home, who I personally helped train, and I previously cared for my family’s 14-year-old senior dog in her final days, so I understand the unique needs of both energetic and aging dogs. Spending time with them is incredibly therapeutic for me. I can’t wait to connect with your pup and provide the same love and care I give my own! Whether it’s walks, playtime, or special attention, I’m here to make sure they feel their happiest self! I really miss my dog back at home after moving here so looking to care for dogs occasionally when I have some free time on the weekends :) I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pup. I too, consider my dog my family and I can promise to care for yours in the same way, following any specific instructions you have for me.
About: I've housesat and taken care of dogs for friends and family members since I was a kid. I've been told I have an energy that animals really respond to. I can no longer have a pet of my own, and I miss my dog every day, I just want to be around dogs again, and help out pet parents. I just opened a bar on my own so it is practically impossible for me to have a dog full time, but my schedule is also flexible enough where I could make sure to give a lot of attention to a dog on a part time basis. I am happy to watch a dog at your home or mine, I have a fenced yard and plenty of parks and trails nearby to walk around.
About: I’ve been the designated pet sitter for my family and friends for as long as I can remember, so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I also have two cats of my own who I absolutely adore. I’m comfortable following specific routines, giving lots of attention and making sure pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the day. I’m able to provide frequent check ins, attention, playtime, walks, and care based on your pet’s normal routine. I’ll always follow your pet’s normal routine and any specific instructions you provide. I’m very careful about doors, food, medications, and anything your pet could get into. I have two cats of my own, so keeping pets safe and comfortable is something I take very seriously.

Levi is a fantastic dog walker/sitter. He cared for my 2 dogs (Chihuahua & Shi Tzu). He was always prompt and would adjust his schedule to care for my dogs at the last minute. Great communication and pics were sent. My dogs always reacted to Levi well especially my Chihuahua. He is trustworthy, timely and great care giver for my dogs. I am moving to Florida and wish I could take him with me as my dog sitter!! Great person and pet sitter!!
Jared has been absolutely fantastic with our dogs! From day one, he's been incredibly communicative, reliable, and prompt, which gives us complete peace of mind. Our dogs absolutely adore him and are always excited for their walks and adventures together. It's clear that he genuinely cares about the dogs he works with and knows how to keep them happy, safe, and well cared for. We trust him completely and feel so lucky to have found him. If you're looking for someone dependable, trustworthy, and great with dogs, we highly recommend Jared! 🐾
Kerry is so great with my dogs! I can always tell they've had a good time while I was gone even if they missed me. She's very attentive to details with my older guy and always tries to give them a great walk even when the weather isn't very nice out. Love knowing I can trust her with their care.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
