“Bradley walked our dog and she was much less high energy when I got home from work! It was much needed. Also I’m pretty sure he brought our trash cans in from the curb!!”

“Sara is a wonderful pet owner & has the biggest heart for dogs! As a child, she would walk the neighborhood dogs, free of charge, just so she could spend some time with dogs even though she couldn’t get one of her own. This brief story encapsulates the longtime love and care Sara puts towards pets, dogs especially. She will love and bond with any pup that comes her way!”

“We reached out to Karoline for reoccurring dog walks and they are simply wonderful. They are responsive, personable, kind, flexible and trustworthy. Our pup was immediately comfortable with Karoline the moment they walked through the door. They are working with Zoe to be less distracted by squirrels and critters on their walks and we also receive updates and adorable photos after their adventures. They are one of the most patience and punctual humans you will meet ... I highly recommend Karoline, and trust her completely with our fur baby.”

Your pet will be in great care with Julia!”

About: What sets me apart is my reliability, calm energy, and experience with pets of all ages and needs—including administering medication and caring for senior animals. As a full-time military member, I’m disciplined, trustworthy, and great at following routines, which pets really respond to. I don’t just “watch” pets—I bond with them. I pay close attention to their personalities and body language so I can make them feel safe, seen, and loved. Whether it’s a shy cat, an energetic puppy, or a dog that needs meds at a certain hour, I take pride in getting it right. As a full-time military member, I have a structured schedule that allows me to plan pet care in advance. I’m available for boarding on weekends and for evening drop-ins or walks during the week after 4:30 p.m. I’m reliable, punctual, and committed to making sure your pet gets the care and attention they deserve. I live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment with plenty of space for your dog or cat to feel at home. While I don’t have a yard, I take pets on regular walks and give them lots of indoor playtime and attention. I’m comfortable with crates, giving medications, and maintaining routines that help pets feel secure and cared for.


15. Melanie H.

“Melanie did a great job walking Winston, our English bulldog. She was always on schedule and made sure Winston got to sniff all of his favorite things. Really appreciated all of the prompt communication as well including daily photos!”


16. Molly R.
“I would highly recommend Molly to take care of and walk your pet. She instantly connected with our dogs, and they treated her like she was a member of the family very quickly. The dogs got their exercise and food as instructed, and the house was always spotless when we returned. Her friendly nature with our dogs (and with us too!) made a recommendation a no brainer.”


17. Catherine V.
“Catherine has been my best friend for a long time and she is the most responsible, loyal and trustworthy friend I have ever had! She shows love to every living thing and her heart for animals is exceedingly big! She is a caring owner to her own cat, George, whom she rescued from the streets and took in to give a warm, happy and loving home. I recommend her to anyone looking for a caregiver for their furry friend. Your beloved pet will be in the best of hands!”

About: I’ve taken care of every kind of animal you can since I was little. I worked at a kennel for two years and during my time there I trained(including my own service dog!), walked dogs, played with all sorts of animals, bathed and grooms all breeds of dogs. My favorite breeds are the large dogs! I hope to meet you & your furbaby soon! I work full time night shift sunday-wednesday so morning and night time walks are always perfect. During my off days I would be available 24/7. I don’t offer in-home services so it would depend on the client but on walks and outdoor playing I would make sure that all harness/leash/collars are on correctly and that all gates are locked/shut properly.


19. Jeffery W.
“I trust Jeff to care for any and all of my animals, as he has house-sat for me multiple times and taken excellent care of my dogs, cats, birds, and reptiles! He follows care instructions to a T and has always treated my animals as his own. Jeff is an intuitive and compassionate person and respects animals and their needs. You won’t be disappointed with the quality of his care and services!”


20. Marisol G.
“Marisol is an excellent dog sitter, she took care of my two dogs Oreo and princess. She was great at providing me with updates, photos and videos during their stay. She was always very kind and communicative about how my dogs were doing. I loved all the videos and photos she sent on a daily basis multiple times a day. One of our dogs is very old she cannot see, marisol took great care of her even with her disabilities and restrictions. We will always use her services!”
