Erin is always so wonderful with our greyhound Happy. She is kind and professional. I appreciate that she responds quickly and is often willing to help with short notice. Happy loves having Erin visit and take her for walk, feed her, and give her love and attention. I can confidently recommend Erin.

I had such a great experience with Stephanie. She took wonderful care of Tucker and went above and beyond. She made sure he got a walk in even on the coldest of days. She was flexible enough to adjust a drop in time to accommodate my schedule. Tucker was happy, well cared for and comfortable with her. I’d recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring and thoughtful dog sitter.

About: I started taking care and training dogs when I was 13. My parents rescued my dog Luna when I was 14 and I took care of her every day and trained her, she even understands Spanish! She is the sweetest dog ever but I currently don’t live with her anymore. I also enjoy taking care of kids and I am very patient and confident in my ability to handle anything. I love to teach and I am very passionate about what I do. Once I start something I work hard to become better everyday. I am currently on summer break so I have plenty of free time. I am fully committed to working Monday-Saturday mostly from 8am-9pm. My current schedule is simple. I go to the gym from 9-11:30am and pretty much free the rest of the day. I have a part time job and I work every other week Sat-Sun from 4-10. I have a really flexible schedule so feel free to ask any questions! I would usually take my dog out for her first walk at 8 in the morning. I would take her out for at least 15min and repeat this every 3/4 hours. After her first walk I fed her breakfast, sometimes I’d crack an egg on top or drizzle honey which is great for dogs, and I fed her twice a day. If it was muddy outside I would clean her paws and fur after. I would play with her and teach her new tricks every now and then. If her breath was bad I would brush her teeth at night. I loved cuddling and sleeping with her and I would do everything to make sure she was happy.

Anna has been amazing to coordinate with and scheduling drop in visits on our 4 month old puppy during our long work days. She is excellent with communicating with us and has made us feel completely safe with entrusting the care of our puppy to her. We will continue to use Anna for our future pet care needs.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and currently help care for a French Bulldog, so I’m used to daily walks, feeding, and just keeping them happy and comfortable. I really enjoy being around dogs and getting to know their personalities. I’m patient, responsible, and will treat your dog like my own while you’re away. My schedule is pretty flexible, so I’m available mornings, afternoons, and evenings depending on what you need. I can work around your pet’s routine and make sure they get plenty of attention, walks, and playtime. I’m also available on weekends for walks or drop-ins, so I can be there when it’s most convenient for you. I always try to make pets feel comfortable and at home, whether I’m in your space or mine. I pay attention to their behavior and needs so they feel safe and relaxed. I’ll stick to your routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, and anything specific your pet needs. I’m patient, gentle, and make sure they’re getting the care and attention they deserve.

About: I specialize in reliable morning pet care that fits busy work and school schedules. I’m available weekdays from 9 AM to 12 PM, which makes me a great fit for mid-morning dog walks, drop-in visits, and consistent weekly routines. I’m especially good at caring for dogs who need calm, patient handling and a steady routine. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior, comfort, and safety, and I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully. I’m also comfortable with senior pets who may need a slower pace, extra patience, or medication reminders (as directed by the owner). I make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and not rushed during visits. What sets me apart is that I focus on consistency and trust—many pets do best with the same walker on a regular schedule, and I aim to build that long-term relationship with both pets and owners. Pet care fits into my routine during weekday mornings from 9 AM to 12 PM, which is my dedicated availability window. During this time, I focus on dog walking and drop-in visits, making it easy for pet owners who need help while they are at work or busy with the day. I plan my schedule around consistency, so I can provide regular weekly visits for the same pets whenever possible. This helps animals feel more comfortable and keeps their routine stable. I’m organized and reliable, so I make sure I always arrive on time and give each pet full attention without rushing between visits. I provide pet care in my clients’ homes, where pets are most comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. My focus is always on safety, trust, and following each owner’s instructions exactly. I make sure doors, leashes, and gates are secure at all times and never leave pets unattended in unsafe situations. During visits, I supervise pets closely, especially during walks, feeding, or outdoor time. I respect each home and keep everything clean and organized, including cleaning up after pets during walks or drop-in visits. I also pay attention to any changes in behavior or health and will communicate immediately with the owner if something seems off. I understand that trust is very important when entering someone’s home, so I am responsible, respectful, and careful with both the pet and the property.

About: I’ve been around dogs for years and have always had a natural connection with them. Friends and family often joke that I’m a “dog whisperer” because dogs tend to warm up to me quickly and feel comfortable right away. I’ve also been living with my girlfriend’s dog for over 2 years, helping with daily care, routines, and building trust... to the point where the dog now chooses to sleep with me. I’m calm, patient, and attentive, and I make sure every dog feels safe, relaxed, and cared for. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I treat every dog like they’re my own. I’m also happy to follow any specific routines or instructions you have. I have a flexible daily routine that allows me to be available throughout the day for check ins, walks, and quality time with your pet. I’m able to stop by during typical work hours as well as mornings, evenings, and weekends. I make pet care a priority and ensure your dog gets consistent attention, exercise, and care throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions, including feeding schedules, walks, and any specific routines your pet is used to. I’m attentive and make sure your home and your pet stay safe and secure at all times. I also provide regular updates so you can feel confident everything is going smoothly while you’re away.

Megan is the best! She has watched our two dogs, two cats and leopard gecko multiple times. She is super reliable, very communicative, and just a delight with the animals. My only hesitation in writing this review is that she will book up and won’t be available for our numerous last minute requests!

As always, Veronika went above and beyond for our boy. He recently got diagnosed with asthma, and before this trip, since she previously had not worked with an asthma kitty, she came over to learn how to give our cat his inhaler, and from what I have heard, he tolerated her giving him his inhaler twice a day very well. She is always so gentle with him and he loves her!

What a treat to have gotten help with our dog from Erin.. she was so sweet & kind, clearly caring & considerate of whatever we may need, & noticed and discrepancy I wrote that could've caused a timing issue. We loved that she was so easy to communicate with & it felt obvious right away that she had our (& our pup's) best interest at heart, ultimately going above and beyond so that my wife & I could really just not think twice about how Zara was doing while we continued on [without our dog] at our wedding venue for the rest of the evening. She was the absolute best, & even her husband joined to help her with the task we had asked her to help with just so things would go as smoothly as possible. If felt like family came by to swoop her up & care for her/help her transition away from partying it up at our wedding to hangin at home with her pal. Really couldn't be more grateful. Thank you guys so much for helping with this. It meant a lot to us!
