“Lisa is excellent! She shows a great amount of care towards our dogs and cat. She responds very quickly to any questions or inquiries. I would highly recommend Lisa!”
About: I provide loving, attentive care and treat every pet like family. I have experience with playful puppies who need gentle training and structure, as well as senior pets who need patience, comfort, and extra care. I’m attentive to routines, behavior changes, and safety, and I always keep pet parents updated. My goal is to make sure your pet feels happy, secure, and loved while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I work full time, but I’m available for evening care, weekend stays, and drop-in visits. I plan my schedule carefully so I can give pets focused, unrushed attention and stick closely to their normal routines. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment in every home I care for. In my home, pets have a secure, fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor time, and there are no other pets in the home, allowing for focused, stress-free care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all routines, instructions, and safety guidelines closely. I keep doors secured, monitor pets at all times, and make sure their environment stays clean, comfortable, and familiar. My goal is to create a safe, peaceful space where pets feel relaxed and well cared for.
About: I have been a dog and cat owner my whole life. Now that I am mostly retired I am available to care for your babes when you are unable to. Your place or mine. I volunteer for dog and cat rescues so I have a lot of knowledge and experience. I am retired so I have lots of time to play. I walk in my neighborhood every morning and evening and would love to walk with a friend. I don't currently have any pets of my own so there will be no issues with unfriendly competition. I know how important communication is regarding your pets.
“Reid was super nice! And gave Allie lots of love! He sent photos of not just her, but my cat as well. Even though he wasn't in the care instructions, Reid took the time to give them both attention during every drop in! He gave the best compliments about my dog and her training/behavior! Easily my dogs new fav uncle :)”
“Axel did such a good job walking my new puppy the last few days while I was at work. He was prompt, communicative, and Harry definitely seemed to love him. Will definitely keep booking with him!”
About: My love for all animals has followed me my entire life. I have 15+ years of experience caring for my own animals and 3+ years as a dedicated foster/volunteer. I have cared for dogs and cats of all ages, have experience training puppies and dogs with behavioral issues, and caring for seniors. When I am in between fosters, I would love to offer my time to care for your pets! I do work full-time but am available to do check-ins bright and early and right after 5pm. I also work from home Mondays/Fridays for a much more flexible schedule in case you are away for a long weekend! Available to house sit Thursday nights-Monday nights. I think it is important to not only get to know your pet’s behavior but to earn their trust by meeting them where they are at. Pets have varying personalities and my approach will always first depend on your preference (since you know your animal best) and doing what makes them most comfortable. Once all tasks are taken care of for my visits, my only goal is to spend quality time with your fur baby! I want them to be excited to see me and have me back for each visit and that comes through fostering a relationship with them. I am currently unavailable for boarding but am happy to bring your dog along with me socially if you are comfortable, or scheduling a play date with my Golden Retriever. She’s a sweetheart and loves to play!
About: I've been a dog lover for as long as I can remember. In fact, I wrote a persuasion letter in 4th grade to my parents about why I needed a dog (and it worked!!). I've been obsessed with them ever since, 25 years later! I have a 10-year-old dog of my own (who stays at home while I visit other dogs) and understand that every dog is different. My dog is anxious, so I'm especially patient with nervous or shy pups. If your dog needs a few extra minutes to warm up, some treats, a calm presence, or a slower introduction, I'm happy to move at their pace and earn their trust. I've cared for dogs of all sizes, from small breeds to large dogs like Dobermans and Newfoundlands, and I'm comfortable handling different energy levels and personalities. Whether your dog needs a long walk, extra exercise, playtime, or simply a reliable friend while you're away, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I work from home, so I’m flexible for drop ins or walks during the day! Morning walks, afternoon potty breaks, whatever is needed, I’m available! I truly treat my dog like a child. She is so spoiled and I think all dogs deserve this — their entire lives are dedicated to loving us unconditionally, so they deserve that same love, care, and attention in return.

“David is terrific! We have relied on the help of dog walkers and sitters for many years, but David stands out. He is a proactive communicator, who keeps us informed and shares photos and videos about walks. Our two pups love their time with him. Highly recommended!!”
“Matthew takes great care of my boy, Duke! He not only does the required potty breaks, but spends time playing with Duke as well. The gate even fell down once because Duke bumped it and he made sure to fix it before leaving. I’m thankful to have Matthew as a reliable sitter!”
“Danielle was great. Timely updates and pics of my dog, and gave a fun summary of their walk and hang out. She’s a great resource to have downtown, and I’ll definitely be booking with her again. Thanks Danielle!”
About: I’ve always had a passion for animals and even trained my family dog to be a registered therapy dog.

For dog walking, I always prioritize safety by using secure leashes and being mindful of the environment.
“Alex is so great! My dog Sky is so shy, but Alex has been so sweet in getting sky to be comfortable in going on walks. I get updates about their walks, and it makes me feel great knowing that while I am at work she is taking good care of sky. Highly recommend!”
About: Hi! My name is Lauren, and I’ve been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember. I’ve always had a huge soft spot for animals, and over the years I’ve become the designated pet sitter for many of my friends whenever they travel or need an extra hand. When I care for your pet, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Whether we’re going for a walk, playing, or simply keeping each other company, I will give your pet the same attention and affection that I would give my own. I am comfortable, caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I also have a cat of my own named peach, who is very particular about how she likes things (cat owners understand!) because of her, I’ve learned that every pet is unique and has their own routines, preferences, and needs. I am happy to learn what makes your pet happiest, so please don’t hesitate to share any special instructions, routines, quirks, or request. The more I know the better I can care for them! I also understand how important trust is when choosing someone to care for your pet, and I will always provide reliable communication, updates, and photos during our time together. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I work from home during the week, which gives me a flexible schedule for pet care.

My weekends are much more open, and I am available for dog walks and drop in visits at any time of the day for any length of time. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, a long walk, playtime, or extra attention while you’re away, I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible!

“Emma was wonderful! She was very sweet and personable when we met her, and Theo instantly loved her. She was so kind and attentive with him, and he came back from his walk completely tuckered out and happy. It was clear that she took great care of him and made the experience enjoyable. We are definitely planning to request Emma for future walks so Theo can get his energy out. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog walker!”
About: I have cared for all kinds of animals. My family dog (a corgi) was with us for 16 lovely years and I cared for her into her senior age. I am experienced with dogs from puppies to seniors. This means I am very familiar with medicating animals and making sure they have what they need. I have three cats currently and love them so much. I have experience with birds, fish, rats, rabbits, snakes, and many more types of animals! I am a teacher so I have free time this summer and on the weekends to come care for your babies while you are working or on vacation! I can easily walk any dog or supervise outside time in the yard. I am familiar with helping to crate dogs if necessary. I can also help to make the dog comfortable in whatever environment they need!

Thanks so much, Eboni, for taking such good care of Teddy. He loves being with you, and was always at the door with a happy tail wag waiting for you. I was very impressed at how you were able to manage him, given that he's a big guy (85 lbs, will be two in a few weeks) and very friendly with other dogs and children. I was not surprised when you told me you wanted to base your career on working with dogs. You're a natural, and I'm sure you'll be a great success in that field. We look forward to seeing you again soon. Thank you!
Abbie is fantastic! I have two senior dogs, a German shepherd mix and a Chihuahua mix, both are challenging to walk and Abbie does a great job with both. The other day she helped me get one of my dogs to the vet who was feeling sick. Totally outside of what she is responsible for and I really appreciated the extra help.
Ashlyn was absolutely amazing with my dog! She was so sweet, reliable, and attentive to all of his needs. I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such great hands. She kept me updated and made sure Benny was happy and well cared for the entire time. You can truly tell she loves animals! I will definitely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker/sitter!
Teddy, our almost two year, 85 lb old Goldendoodle adore Reid the moment he walked through our door. Teddy played with Reid and enjoyed pets and cuddles. He happily went out the door with Reid on the first walk as well as the second later in the early evening. Reid sent pictures and reported back that Teddy knew exactly what route to take, and that Teddy finished all of his business. Great peace of mind for me after coming home from surgery a few days ago. Thank you, Reid!
