About: I’ve had two dogs, and currently have one at home. I have trained both of these puppies, and with new pets I am not afraid to ask questions or accommodate to your pets’ needs. I am a full-time student, but I am looking for hobbies. I currently live at home so I have a flexible schedule. I already walk my own dog, so getting some more exercise in never hurts. I’d prefer to meet the pets beforehand so that they are comfortable with me. I want to let dogs get the most stimulation out of their walk by letting them sniff a lot.
“Jessica was a terrific find and in my neighborhood. Her love of dogs is evident and Pete loves her back. He is a strong dog and she manages him well. I recommend her to anyone.”
“Ben is always amazing. I have been using his boarding service and always had a great experience. This is the first time I traveled for 2 weeks and needed his help to walk my dog during that time. I cant say thank you enough for how much he loves and cares for my dog. He is a truely dog lover, very reliable. Chelsea remembered Ben right away and was so happy when he came to walk Chelsea.”

About: I’m comfortable walking or stopping by for visits for pets of all ages and sizes. I’m good at adjusting to each pet’s routine and personality to make them feel at ease. I have a flexible schedule and I'm available for walks and drop in visits throughout the week including early mornings and late evenings and holidays. During visits and walks, I make sure pets are safe and comfortable by following their usual routines and providing undivided attention and play. I also provide owners with quick updates or photos so they know their pets are happy and safe.
“Ildiko is great. She cares about my dogs and even sent pics from their walk. I definitely plan to book her for more walks (as well as other services I might need) and recommend her without hesitation.”
About: Dogs have been a part of my life for years through friends, family, and pets I've had the opportunity to care for along the way. Those experiences taught me that every dog has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level, and I take the time to learn what makes each pet feel safe and happy. Today, I'm the proud owner of a Cavapoo puppy, Oreo, which has given me daily hands-on experience with puppy care, exercise, feeding routines, enrichment activities, and positive reinforcement. Caring for my own dog has strengthened my understanding of the patience, consistency, and attention that great pet care requires. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. That's why I prioritize communication, reliability, and regular photo updates so you can feel confident your pet is receiving the same level of care and attention I'd want for my own. Whether your dog enjoys walks, playtime, cuddles, or sticking to a familiar routine, my goal is to help them feel comfortable, cared for, and right at home. Because I work from home, I'm able to maintain a flexible schedule and be present for the pets in my care throughout the day. This allows me to provide regular walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention while keeping pets comfortable and on their usual routine. My goal is to create a safe, stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. Because I work from home, I'm able to maintain a flexible schedule and be present for the pets in my care throughout the day. This allows me to provide regular walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention while helping pets stay comfortable and on their usual routine. I also have a friendly Cavapoo puppy, Oreo, who loves companionship and can be a great playmate for dogs who enjoy being around other pets. My goal is to create a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where pets feel comfortable, cared for, and right at home while their owners are away.

Victor is great with my dog Marcie! He made sure to ask about everything he might need to know for her. My cat liked him too. Victor is very kind and conscientious and you can definitely trust him with your pet. He will absolutely go above and beyond to make sure they are well taken care of.
Yoshi had another fantastic walk with Nina! At this point I’m convinced he thinks Nina is his second mom — he absolutely lights up when he sees her. Nina treats Yoshi like her own pet, with so much love, patience, and genuine care during their walks. She responded incredibly quickly to my last booking request, and we will definitely keep booking with Nina. I always feel completely at ease knowing Yoshi is with her. Highly recommend Nina if you want a reliable, caring dog walker who truly treats your pet like family!
