“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Schyrita was absolutely wonderful with Stella and Viper! Knowing she was coming over to care for them gave me such incredible peace of mind while I was away. She was attentive, caring, and wonderful with both of my dogs, and I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in her care. It means so much to have someone you can trust with your pets, and I would absolutely recommend Schyrita to anyone looking for a reliable and loving pet sitter!”
“Hannah is so amazing, responsive, and responsible. If there were 10 stars, I’d give her 10!!! My boys loved her and she took them on a fantastic walk. We will be having her help us again in the future.”
“We had a great experience with Danielle! She was reliable, communicative, and took great care of our dogs. We felt completely comfortable knowing our pups were in good hands and would definitely recommend her to others.”
“I needed help last minute with taking my dog on regular walks for 2 days in a row. Luckily I found Ferrin!!! I didn’t get to meet her in person but just from my communication and walk reports, I could sense how much of a animal lover she is! I think I can speak for everyone when I say my dog is my baby lol, and I was not worried or stressed for a single second. She is punctual, caring, and friendly! 10/10 recommended ?”
“Barbara was amazing with our dog on both check ins she did for us last minute. She communicated so well and took pictures throughout her interactions. I couldn’t have asked for anything more. We will use her again and again!”
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals, my attention to their unique needs, and my commitment to providing personalized care. I focus on creating a bond with each pet, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and well-exercised, while keeping you updated every step of the way. I work a flexible part time job that allows me to take multiple days off when needed. I prioritize flexibility and the ability to be available most days. I am reliable and willing to accommodate any needs your furry friend might have. I also like to stay connected with updates and photos during the walk so you can keep up every step of the way. Your dogs comfort and security is my number one priority
“She has done outstanding work with my two dogs. One is extremely difficult and almost impossible for any strangers to get near, let alone get a leash on and take her for a walk. Rebecca was able to get her on a leash, take her for walks, and even pick her up, all within a few days! I was extremely desperate to find a dog walker for when I’m at work. She has by far exceeded my expectations, and I don’t know what I would’ve done without her.”
About: All my life, I thought I was a cat person. Then Jameson, Christopher, and now Lulu happened… long story short, I got converted. 😂🐾🐾 Now I research dog behavior, work on training and commands, and probably get way too excited when they listen and learn something new. I’m patient, very hands-on, and affectionate with dogs. I believe structure and consistency are the key to almost everything. I have two tweens who help care for our dogs and absolutely love having another furry friend around to play with and give attention to (especially puppies!). With me, your dog gets walks, playtime, attention, treats (with your permission!), belly rubs, and people who genuinely enjoy having dogs around. And because I speak English and Spanish, my dogs are bilingual. 😂 So there’s a small chance yours goes home knowing a little Spanish too. 😉🐾 I’m a full-time mom, work from home, and homeschool my two tween boys, so my schedule is flexible, intentional, and home-centered. Daily walks, playtime, feeding schedules, training, and supervision are part of my normal rhythm. Structure and consistency matter in my household. Pets are supervised, engaged, and treated like family, not left alone for long stretches. I care for pets the same way I care for my own kids: with routine, attention, and respect. I follow feeding schedules, exercise needs, and house rules closely. While I don’t have a patio, we’re five minutes from the dog park and take daily walks to nearby nature spots. I have gates between rooms so the dogs can meet and sniff each other while still having their own space to adjust. Once they seem comfortable with each other, I open the gate so they can interact and play, with me right beside them. If one starts feeling scared or threatened, I give them space again. My dogs know commands like “personal space” and “mind your business.” We practice almost every day because we meet dogs and people with different personalities at the dog park. Better safe than sorry! Dogs stay on a leash during walks and outings, and I usually attach one of my AirTags to their collars as an extra precaution. Although my profile says I accept up to five dogs, the number I host depends on their size, individual needs, and behavior so I can give each one the care and attention they need. Please bring kibble in an airtight container labeled with your dog’s name, the food brand, and feeding instructions. Include a measuring cup and clearly indicate the amount per meal. If your dog eats something other than kibble, please pack it properly and label everything. Please chop raw food as needed and pack it in individual meal portions in sealed Ziploc bags, with storage and serving instructions included. I have plenty of chew toys and balls, but if your dog has a special toy or lovey, please bring it along. If they sleep in a kennel, I prefer that you bring their own, along with their bed or mat. It’s not required, since I have extra beds, but their familiar things may help them feel more at home. You’re also welcome to bring a T-shirt you’ve worn so they can have your familiar scent nearby while they wait for you to come back. I talk to the dogs in my care because I believe they understand more than we think. I often remind them that you’ll be back soon, especially rescue dogs who may have lived in different homes. I want them to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while they’re with me.
“I’ve recently moved into the area and work some long hours. My dog is shy and doesn’t have fun around too many dogs so doggy daycare wasn’t an option. I’m happy to have found a reliable dog walker so soon and my dog immediately liked her. Her hours are very flexible and Remi is relaxed and naps the rest of the day after her walk.”
About: I’ve always had a love for animals. I’ve had horses,dogs,cats and more. I have dog training experience and foster when needed to save a dog in need. I’m a Realtor with flexibility. My dog gets walked 3 to 5 miles a day and lots of play time! I feed twice a day and can follow the regular schedule. I live in a townhouse with a fenced area for pups to go in and out in between walks. This allows them outside time and space to play.
About: I think a meet and greet is an important way to let me know if your pet needs anything special for their visit. I want pets to be my job. I have flexible hours to take care of your pet. If you have a senior dogs that needs to be walked by his/herself, that's no problem. They usually need to go at a slower pace so they can enjoy their walk. I can do walks or just drop in visits to be with them. I can also drop in visits for your cat, so they are not lonely. I think cats need attention & exercise while pet parents are away. I can give them playtime and keep you updated on their response. I want pets to be my job. I have flexible hours and the time to take care and play with your pups. I can also provide boarding on weekdays and/or weekends. I have no problem walking larger dogs, but I can only board dogs 20 lbs or under. (my dogs are 11 lbs and under.) I have had pets for over 30 and taking care of family, friends and neighbors pets for over 25 years. I treat your pet as if they were my own. I have a small fenced in yard and also have small dogs to keep your pup company. I am also able to crate your pup if needed. I have a dog door, but if I have to run errands the pups are safely keep inside until I return. My fur babies like to lay in the sun.
About: While professional dog walking for others is new for me, caring for dogs is not. I was lucky to spend 14 amazing years with my own dog, who was truly my soul dog and taught me so much about patience, attentiveness, routine, and unconditional love. After recently stepping away from my corporate career to slow down and focus on things that genuinely bring me joy - spending time with dogs, being active outdoors, creating meaningful connections. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I would care for them with the same kindness, attention, and love I gave my own. Whether your furry friend loves long walks, playtime, or simply companionship, I'm excited to provide a safe, fun and loving experience for them. Because I've recently stepped away from a corporate career I am flexible with my time, which allows me the ability to care for your furry friend. Dog walking is the perfect fit for this season of life because it combines my love for dogs, being active outdoors, and building meaningful connections in my community. You can expect dependable communication, punctuality, lots of love and attention for your pup, and someone who will care for them as if they were my own. At this time, I’m focusing exclusively on dog walking so I can provide the best possible experience and attention to each pup I care for. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I will make sure they are securely leashed, closely supervised, walked in safe areas, and cared for according to your instructions and their individual needs. Whether your dog enjoys energetic walks or a slower pace, you can expect dependable care, patience, and lots of love every step of the way.
About: I've always had pets growing up from turtles, fish, ferrets and cats and dogs! I have watched several of my friends and family pets. I am currently working from home 40 hours a week and can host a dog or 2 depending on size for daycare/boarding. I am also available for morning and evening check-ins and walks! I do work from home so your babies can come hang out with me and my puppers during the work day and play out all their energy! I do have a 1.5 yr old golden doodle who loves to play and stays home with me now that I work from home. We love to go on walks or go to the park.
About: I have been around animals my whole life. I enjoy spending time with them when their family is away. I think it is great if they can be at home with their normal routine. I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time to care for pets. I have a flexible schedule with good availability right now. I will follow the directions and schedule left by the pet or home owner. I think it is important to keep the pets on their routine.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins.

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
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.
