Alejandra was amazing! I was a little apprehensive about trying a dog walking service but after this experience I’m definitely booking with Alejandra again! She was super kind and took the time to learn more about Nando during their time 10/10 recommend !!!

Esteban quickly became my puppy's very best friend (I hope my kids don't see this). My puppy returns from walks and passes out for hours. Esteban is reliable and my puppy is always excited to go on their walks. He also communicates well and gives great updates on any activity from the walk.

Shirley is wonderful. She took great care of my dog Java on short notice this morning. Java has been in training for leash reactivity and Shirley picked up exactly how to work with her very quickly. She is kind and really appreciate animals from what I can tell. Highly recommended

MJ is absolutely wonderful! My dog, Mazie, immediately fell in love with her and they’ve become the best of friends after just a few walks. I’m a nurse and gone for 14 hour days, so I have MJ come over for two walks/playtime visits. By the time I get home from work, Mazie is pooped and ready for bed! I love that MJ provides photos of my happy girl and thorough details about her visits. She’ll even play and give treats and love to our cat. It’s evident just how much she loves and cares for animals, regardless of whether they’re her own. I’m so grateful to have found her!!!!

Sophie has been amazing with my girl Rosie as she adjusts to city life. She has made a huge impact on keeping her calm and helping keep her active by giving her good exercise and working with to stay calm and focused while encountering squirrels, other dogs and loud noises on their walks. I have noticed such a change due to Sophie's interventions. Sophie is prompt, communicative and kind. A one of a kind! Rosie adores her!

About: I’ve always enjoyed having furry companions. I look forward to providing care and love for your pet while you’re at work or out of town. I love caring for dogs as well as cats. I have a very flexible schedule and am able to attend to your pets at any time. Day or night, I am available and happy to help.

About: I adore dogs. I can’t have my own so I cherish every moment! I’ve done a good amount of dog sitting/ walking both small and large dogs. We have a great time, I love playing with them, taking them out as many times a day as they like, and having sleepovers to keep them company. I have a pretty flexible schedule so I am often able to make lots of different times/days work. Weekends are totally fine for me as well. In my house I only have space for a small dog. I have two cats. I am able to take them on as many walks as they need a day, play with them, cuddle them, make sure they’re comfy and having a good time. At a clients house it is similar except any size dog or cat is good for me!

About: I have a flexible schedule and am booking dog walks and drop-ins! I can accommodate for whether your dog likes more activity or needs a quiet and calm environment. I have experience dealing with dogs and other animals with anxiety and other medical or physical needs. I work from home at my own pace so I can accommodate different needs! Ideally, pet guests can be left at home alone for about an hour for errands and other events that come up. Please provide a crate if your dog cannot be left alone for over an hour. My home is responsible and dog safe with gates to prevent access to the kitchen. My yard is not fenced but I always keep dogs leashed.

I will be in school full-time starting in the new semesters and am at home most days. I am also available for pet sitting and boarding on my days off. I have a small fenced yard for potty breaks. I also have a crate available in the home if needed. My 8 year old chihuahua will help keep your dog entertained and she loves other dogs.

I love spending time with animals and would be happy to give your pet the attention and care they need. I know pets are usually most comfortable at home, so I focus on keeping their routine consistent by following all instructions given, making sure they feel safe, and treating your home with care and respect as if it were my own.

About: As a dedicated and compassionate pet caregiver, I go beyond basic care to ensure each dog feels safe, loved, and happy while their owner is away. Above all, I treat every dog like family, providing plenty of affection, regular updates, and ensuring they feel at ease in my care. Pet parents can have peace of mind knowing their furry friends are in responsible and loving hands! I have hands-on experience with senior dogs and understand the extra care they require, whether it’s administering medication, assisting with mobility, or providing a calm and comfortable environment. I’m also comfortable with high-energy dogs and can tailor my care to their needs, whether that’s engaging playtime, long walks, or reinforcing positive behavior. I work remotely so I am flexible and available to play with any pup - I live close to multiple dog parks and have a lake that I can take dogs on walks for One friendly dog in my apartment that loves to play and nap. He is socialized and loves to be with other dogs. Open to taking both to the park for socialization or just a solo trip with your pup.

About: I would describe myself as an animal lover and have two cats of my own. I'm hoping one day to get a dog, perhaps some birds and chickens too. Is that too much? Pets are the best of friends especially when life seems a bit chaotic. I understand that most people don’t have the time to care for their pets as much as they would like to, whether it’s a busy work schedule or a desperate need for a vacation from it all. I’ll be there to step in for you so your pet has someone to give them attention, treats, walks, and those good scritchy scratchies. I'm taking some time to focus on job searching and personal projects so my schedule is rather flexible to take on some pet care a few times a week. Unfortunately, due to owning two cats of my own, I can not take on other animals in my apartment. I have a reliable mode of transportation, so I can come to the owner's house and easily take them on adventures outside (park, beach, etc) in my car.

Nicky has been very patient with Milo and Piper. Our fur babies have warmed up to her in record time, which is due to her being a natural and having a wonderful temperament. Nicky has also been very open minded with us scheduling trial runs so that we’re all feeling good about using Nicky’s services.

Sara is so awesome! My anxious dog usually takes a few times meeting with someone to feel aquatinted, but my pup felt comfortable the first walk with Sara. He now is so excited to see her and spend time during walks. I feel great knowing she understands his needs and I am very grateful to have found her. 10/10

So impressed with Sara - she was able to walk my dog after a friend (with whom he was staying for a week) got last minute plans the last day and wasn't able to watch him. Not only was she punctual and great with my dog (they had never even met - I had to leave town quickly) but she took him to hike the trails and I KNOW he was thrilled about that. Makes me want to be a better dog parent. Thank you, Sara! Would highly recommend and will book again.
