About: Worked at Warrior Canine Connection as Canine Care staff, taking care of service dogs in training and new puppies! Kennel cleaning, walking, feeding, and some training and basic medical care. Saturday and Sunday I am free all day! Monday and Wednesday I am available 3-10pm. Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday I am available 7-10pm. I give animals the time they need to warm up, and have an overall understanding of different body language. I am an aspiring veterinarian and believe that good animal care including exercise and nutrition (as well as some good cuddles) are key to a healthy pet.

“Gosh we just love Sierra! Since I only need an occasional walker she is hard to book because she has so many clients but both my puppy and I loveee when she is available. She is sweet, trustworthy, leaves the most detailed notes, respectful of our home, and even goes the extra mile like bringing in a package when she gets there at the same time as UPS 😂”

About: Hello! My name is McKenzie! I’m a pre-med student and animal lover looking to earn some extra funds for medical school. I’ve had my own dog since he was a puppy (he's now 8 years old!). Because he has a daily medication schedule, I am experienced and comfortable handling any medical or dietary needs your dog might have. I am currently home full time and am available for daily drop ins or house sittings when needed! I am also flexible and will accept last minute bookings for no additional costs from my end. I’m currently working part time online so I will have plenty of time to play with your puppies and check in on them! I am available everyday at any time since I work online. I ensure pet safety through constant supervision, secure spaces, and by following your specific guidelines. I will take them on daily walks and doggy parks (if you wish for the parks).

About: I have taken care of dogs ever since I was 8. I love caring for them. Always have my eye on them as I love making them feel at home and safe. It fits into my weekly routine as I’m always sitting at home. Having a lot of free time, I chose to take care of dogs as that is something I love. I have a fenced back yard with lots of space to run and go potty. My house is pet friendly meaning they can climb on anything or lay on anything.

About: Every dog, cat, and critter gets my full attention, patience, and genuinely endless affection. Your pet will be in hands that actually care, not just someone checking a box. I pay keen attention to your pets needs, wait patiently for pets to trust me, and show up exactly when I say I will. I'm a law student heading into my second year of school and I have flexibility for regular visits or last-minute help. I've spent years caring for dogs and cats for family, friends, and new clients and I'm comfortable with all kinds of pet personalities. I pay close attention to each animal's cues, take the time to build genuine trust, and am someone you can count on — on time, every time. While I don't have pets of my own right now, I'm surrounded by them constantly and there is honestly nowhere I'd rather be. My schedule is flexible. If it works for you, it works for me. Above all else, I believe communication and timeliness are everything. You'll always hear from me promptly, whether it is confirming a booking, giving an update mid-visit, or letting you know about anything unexpected. No guessing, no chasing me down, just reliable, responsive care you can count on. When I'm in your home, your pet's comfort and routine come first. I follow your instructions closely including feeding schedules, walking routes, any quirks or preferences because familiarity and consistency are what keep animals calm and happy in their parents absence. I treat every home with the same care and respect I'd want shown in my own, and I'm always in close communication so you're never left wondering how things are going. Further, I know that inviting someone new into your home and trusting them with your pets is a big deal, please be assured I'm direct, honest, and an open book.

“We absolutely adore Geri! From day one, she’s been incredible with our furry kids, and we couldn’t ask for a better dog walker and pet sitter. Our pups always come back happy, well-exercised, and clearly loved. But the real miracle? Winning over our resident diva, Gigi! 😂 Gigi believes every interaction should begin with a few minutes of dramatic protests and attitude (she likes to keep everyone humble), but Geri never skips a beat. With so much patience, kindness, and consistency, she has completely won Gigi’s heart. Watching our little diva go from “Absolutely not!” to “Oh, it’s YOU!” has been nothing short of amazing. One of our favorite parts of the day is receiving the adorable photos Geri sends during their walks. They always brighten our day and reassure us that our furry kids are having the best time. You can genuinely see how happy, comfortable, and cared for they are. Geri is dependable, communicative, and truly treats our pets like family. It’s rare to find someone who not only provides exceptional care but also builds such a special bond with your animals. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her and recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for someone who will love and care for their pets as if they were her own. Thank you, Geri, for taking such wonderful care of our furry family—and for somehow convincing our little diva that you’re actually one of her favorite humans! ❤️🐾”

She was very polite and professional as well as providing plenty of pictures and updates throughout the day. Our dogs had no problem warming up to her and she was extremely patient with our special needs and overly excitable pups!”

About: Hi! I’m home for the summer and excited to spend time doing something I love, caring for animals. I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, and I recently lost my own, which reminded me just how much animals mean to me. While I don’t have time for a full-time pet right now, I still stay involved by volunteering every week at a local animal shelter and helping care for the cat I live with at school. I also worked as a vet assistant for a year, so I’m experienced with pets of all ages and temperaments. Whether it’s dogs, cats, or anything in between, I’ll treat your pet with the same love and care I gave my own. I’m currently taking an online summer course with a very flexible schedule, so I’m available throughout the summer for pet sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits. Since I’m not working right now, I have plenty of time to give your pet the attention and care they deserve. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or overnight stays, I’m happy to help however I can! In your home, I follow your pet’s routine closely, feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions, so they stay comfortable and happy while you’re away. I make sure they get plenty of attention and care!

About: I have over 5 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs in structured, multi-dog environments, including high-energy and working breeds. I currently manage a multi-dog household and am actively involved in dog sports and conformation, which has given me a strong understanding of routine, behavior, conditioning, and proper handling. I am comfortable working with: • High-energy and active breeds • Puppies needing structure and consistency • Senior and special needs dogs • Multi-dog households • Dogs requiring medication My care style focuses on structure, safety, and clear communication. Dogs in my care receive consistent routines, appropriate exercise, and calm, confident handling—not just supervision. I am best suited for clients who value reliable, knowledgeable care and want their dogs maintained in a structured environment while they are away. Pet care is a consistent and structured part of my daily routine. I plan my schedule around the dogs in my care to ensure they receive timely walks, feeding, exercise, and attention. I maintain reliable availability for bookings while ensuring each dog receives focused, individualized care and a consistent routine. I prioritize safety, structure, and clear communication in every home I enter. I follow each dogs routine closely, including feeding schedules, medications, crate use, and exercise needs. Dogs are always handled securely on leash unless otherwise specified, and I am attentive to environment, behavior, and stress signals. My goal is to maintain a calm, consistent, and safe environment so your pet feels secure while you’re away.

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.
