“Tina was wonderfully kind and patient with my pup Toshi this week. She has a very good reputation among my peers, and I felt comfortable with Toshi in her expert care. I was treated to detailed attention to Toshi and to her environment during walks with notes and support. Thank you so much Tina! Looking forward to future visits!”
“Huge thank you to Clementine for taking such good care of Penny on her walk. Very responsive, professional and Penny loves her! Clementine also sent me pictures and videos of them on their walk and it made me so happy. Very communicative so I knew that my Penny was in great hands! Thank you so much - we look forward to many more walks!”

About: Hello! My name is Chloe and I want to help you care for your dog (or cat)! I'm available to do drop-in visits with your pet and to take your dog on walks! My home is also open for doggy day-care! I've had pets my entire life (dogs and cats) and I’ve been a sitter/walker before. I love taking care of pets whether they're my own or yours! I love all animals, big or small. I've been around plenty of puppies and kittens so I know how to be gentle, effectively look after them, and give them the best care. I'm confident that your pets will love me! My schedule and availability are always changing as I am a grad student, so this section gets updated frequently. I have a dog of my own and she gets plenty of exercise and playtime despite my crazy schedule. I will always follow your care plan for your pet. I am only comfortable with what you are comfortable with. Safety is of utmost importance to me when caring for your pet. In my home, my dog is crate trained and is never home alone outside of the crate or a safely enclosed room. My dog is a pittie mix so she requires an extensive skincare routine and has experienced minor health issues like an ear infection. I am comfortable administering ointments, creams, and medications if need be to your pet.
“Nicolas is a great dog walker! He is timely, very communicative, and my dog Mabel loves to see him. I look forward to using him in the future for dog walks and I would highly recommend him!”
“Kayla was great with my rambunctious Dalmatian! She ensured to tire her out each walk. I received several photos and a detailed description each time. She even asked before treating my pup to a pup cup, which I thought was very thoughtful. I would definitely use her in the future!”
About: I’ve had beloved pets my whole life and care for them like my own children. Also, my friends often trusted me to take care of their furry ones whenever they traveled - I was always the go-to person to look after their pets and make sure they felt loved and safe. At the moment, I’ve had to be apart from my little ones – they’re staying in another country with my mom – but very soon I’ll bring them here, and we’ll all be together again. I’m a proud mom to a tiny Yorkshire Terrier named Jessica, an Australian Shepherd named Chekhov, and a majestic Maine Coon cat named Lucifer. They all live together as one happy family. My little Jessie is no longer young and, unfortunately, has completely lost her sight. So I know from personal experience how to care for blind pets. While I can’t be with my babies right now, I miss them terribly. I can’t imagine my life without animals, so I’ll be truly happy to give your furry friend the same love and care – take them on fun, joyful walks, play together, and shower them with affection. At the moment, I have a flexible schedule, so I’m available to walk your furry friends even on weekends. I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and a good dose of happiness every time we go out. When I walk your pet, I follow your instructions carefully – from the route and timing to any special habits your dog has. I pay close attention to their comfort, body language, and energy level. I always keep pets on a secure leash, avoid unsafe areas, and never let them off leash unless you specifically allow it. You can trust that your dog will be safe, happy, and well cared for during every walk.
About: I’m 31 years old and I’ve owned pets for almost my whole lifetime! From aquatic animals, cats, dogs etc. I’m an animal lover! I believe there are no “aggressive breeds” I used to have a blue nose pitbull and he was the sweetest thing in the entire world! Loves both people and dogs! I love to take dogs on walks, to dog parks or just chill at home watching movies and snackin on food. I’m reliable and I make sure your pup has a good time! For dog boarding: Earliest Drop off/pick up 9:00 AM Latest Drop off/Pick up 9:00 PM Any requests outside those hours will be extra I work from home which gives me the flexibility and availability to take care of my own pets and others. I have time to take them out regularly and give them all the attention they need. There are tons of room for your pet to have fun! I work from home so I have the freedom to watch them closely (:
About: Hi there! My name is Doris Nogales and I would love to care for and support you and your fluffy baby. I have grown up with pets my entire life and have always treated my pets as one of my own. From an early age I learned the importance of providing utmost love and affection towards my pets, have consistently learned proper training techniques, and understand the level of energetic exercise required to keep pets happy and healthy. I’ve had a broad variety of experience caring my pets of many different breeds ranging from small to larger breeds and have also dedicated my time towards volunteering in local pet shelters where I learned how to interact with traumatized and special needs animals. My passion for animals can be seen in the way I show up for my own and hopefully for your fluffy baby as well. I would love to connect and see if my services would be the ideal fit for you and your family, looking forward to connecting! 🤍 I currently work full time early in the morning and have a lot of flexibility to be attentive for any pet in my care between the hours of 1-9am. On my days off I can provide round the clock support for pets with the exception of 2 hours in the evening when I go to run clubs to stay active. I love to provide round the clock support for the pets under my care. Depending on the needs of each owner I like to ensure that I follow all care instructions. My area is very dog friendly, and I have no problem taking pets out for potty breaks when needed. Also, pets are treated like my own and I do not mind having them in my personal space such as my couch or bed. I believe providing them the ability to explore and feel comfortable is very important for establishing trust. Depending on client needs, I can cater towards feeding times, walking times, or any medical attention required.
About: Having a flexible schedule and some extra time to spend with dogs/puppies is my idea of a win-win situation. I have a big courtyard in my building with grass. Additionally, I love to go on walks and would be awesome to have a doggie to accompany me. I am open to dog sitting and over-night stays. I have had 1 year of taking care of dogs. I enjoy being a dog sitter/walker because I don't have any pets of my own but have much love and care to give to doggies. Being trustworthy and responsible are two characteristics I would use to describe myself as, especially when I am being trusted with special cargo. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions!
“Staci is the best — she has house sit in our home and done long walks for our extremely energetic retriever puppy. The dog loses her mind with excitement when she sees Staci, but Staci has such a calm demeanor Lou calms down quickly. Staci is reliable and so kind. We are so grateful to be able to rely on her!”

Leigh-Ann is honestly the best dog walker I’ve ever had! Her communication is amazing, and she is always so thorough and thoughtful. My dog absolutely loves going on walks with her, and he is always so happy when I come home, which lets me know he had a great walk. She always gives him treats, belly rubs, and makes sure he has everything he needs before leaving. I truly appreciate how caring and reliable she is, and I highly recommend her!
Another great experience with Peter. He treats Lola with so much kindness and professionalism, and his updates are always thorough and helpful. I really appreciate how consistent and dependable he is. It’s clear he genuinely cares about the dogs he walks. Highly recommended every single time.
Sunny was great with our dog Rip, who is still getting comfortable around new people. From the meet and greet onward, Sunny was calm and friendly in a way that helped Rip warm up to her fast, which doesn’t happen often. She was on time, responsive, and easy to communicate with throughout. Exactly what you want when you’re handing off a dog who needs a little extra care. Would absolutely book again.
