“We are very lucky to have met Kristy! Kristy does a great job taking care of our dog on walks and we know that he is in good hands with her. Very reliable and great communication. Highly recommend Kristy if you are looking for someone to take care of your pup!”
“Phedre took my energetic Dalmatian Ember to the park every day for a week to play in the snow. She sent photos and detailed updates everyday and made sure she had fresh water after every excursion. Phedre gets 5 wags and 2 paws up. I will count on her again.”
“Niki is a fantastic dog walker that always brought our pup back with a smile on his face. Every time she came to the door, he would get super excited knowing he was about to go on an adventure with her. I Definitely recommend Niki if you are looking for a trustworthy dog walker that will wear your pup out!”

“Anastasia was great, truly professional. She offered to come over for a little meet and greet ahead of time. On the day of, she confirmed in the app and was timely in arriving. She took such sweet care of my pup and provided several photos of their adventures together. It is such a stress relief to know that my girl is getting nice, long walks during my working days now. We will be using Anatasia regularly!”

About: I come from a household of animal lovers who always adopted and housed feral animals. From dogs to cats to birds. For fun, I’ve always looked after friend’s pets when they were away. I work a job that allows me a lot of free time and I figured what’s a better way to spend that time that to go walk a dog here and there for some nice companionship. I live in a pretty secluded area that’s fenced off. I’m also pretty good at making sure pets don’t run out of the house if that were to be a possibility.
“Ashley was prompt, an excellent communicator, and very kind. She really tired my Bram out! I was so appreciative of her giving my boy such good attention (and even in the pouring rain). We will both be excited to see Ashley again.”
About: I’ve loved dogs my whole life—I grew up with two sweet pups, Maggie and Milly, and that’s where my passion for pet care began. Over the past four years, I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for a variety of dogs, each with their own personality and needs. Whether your pup is playful and energetic or older and needs a gentler approach, I bring patience, reliability, and genuine love to every visit. I treat every dog like they’re part of the family! I work from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. with a lunch break around 2 p.m., which gives me flexibility to incorporate pet care throughout the day. I’m happy to adjust my schedule as needed to make sure your pet gets the attention and care they deserve. While I’m not able to offer pet sitting in my apartment, I’m more than happy to come to your home to care for your beloved pet. Whether it’s staying overnight or dropping in for walks, playtime, or feeding during the day, I’ll make sure your fur baby feels safe, loved, and well cared for.

Caitlin L.
“Caitlin, eased all concerns after her first stay because my husband and I are a bit overly protective with our only child, who happens to have 4 legs, drools and begs for food constantly. It was so hard to trust anyone with our house and dog so we never went anywhere if we couldn't bring him. But guess what.... we already planned another trip because we feel so comfortable with Caitlin. I strongly recommend her and look forward to many more trips to come in our future.”
