“Sunshine has been an amazing dog walker for Pepper - wonderful communication, and I'm sure Pepper is happy see Sunshine - to have the extra walk / potty break with a friendly and loving human. Ithas meant so much to know Pepper is provided for and her needs are being met. Thank you Sunshine :)”

“Bridgette is great! She walks our crazy puppy Winnie and sends us pictures and spends time with her. She’s very natural with animals, and is very timely in her responses. I’m planning to book her regularly! Thank you Bridgette!”

“I have a service dog, and my current situation with work and school, I can’t always take him on his morning walks at times. I’ve never had anyone else take him away from me obviously but my wife. I trust Sarah now. She’s been a life saver more than once now. I plan on using her services every time if I can.”

“I don't have enough good things to say about Colby!! He walks my dog for me and just goes above and beyond for her. I've never used a dog walker before and was nervous to try it out and Colby just made the whole process so smooth and reassuring for me. He has excellent communication and sends cute photo updates. It's everything to me to know my baby is in good hands!”

“Anna was amazing with Mac and very patient with her as she gets very anxious without me. She really catered to Mac’s needs. Will absolutely be booking with her again.”

“Kat is incredible with my dog. She is very patient and in-tune with her needs. She's very communicative and I fully trust that my pets will be in good hands when they're under her care.”

“Brett was perfect for us. Maggie loved her filling in for her regular walker who was on vacation. They made lots of new dog friends and I could totally relax knowing they were safe and having fun.”

About: I’ve been dog and house sitting since well before I could drive. I’m responsible, communicative, and currently very flexible with my time and schedule :) I work from home, so if you’re close enough I will sneak out for a little bit before coming back home to work, otherwise I can bring my work with me! Whenever your pup needs a quick break I am happy to jump outside, or I can take a couple longer breaks to get a walk in! :) I’m super flexible and willing to work with the way you need your pupper taken care of. I have no pets myself, so they have all my attention!
“Omar took care of my dog while I was away for a week. He was very communicative throughout the process and went above and beyond to make sure Monroe was comfortable around him. Highly recommended!”

“Sophia was wonderful! She filled in at the last minute after my previous booking canceled. She took excellent care of Bonzai and kept in touch throughout my trip. She would definitely be my first pick for any future trips!”

“Ashley does an outstanding job walking our dog. She established rapport with Buddy almost immediately, and now he watches the door when it's time for her to arrive each day. He returns happy and excited. Ashley is perfectly reliable and very attentive to the needs of older dogs. There should be more than 5 stars for her caring and great attitude.”

About: I’ve grown up with animals and honestly, I’ve always preferred their company to people. Walking is one of my favorite things to do, especially when I can make a pet happy while doing it. I have two cats who are truly my children, and I can’t imagine life without animals. On top of that, I bring four years of caregiving experience: two years working with people with disabilities and two in senior care. That background has made me patient, attentive, and deeply compassionate, skills that carry over naturally to caring for animals. When your pet is with me, they’re not just being looked after—they’re being loved. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m a freelance artist and student so I’m flexible and available. I care for my own two cats every day: feeding, scooping, playing, and giving them lots of love. Your pets will always have my full attention and presence. My daily routine includes walking and/or running/jogging, so I am so excited to share the joy I get from movement with your pet! I care for your pets with the same love and attention I give my own cats; feeding them on schedule, keeping their space clean, providing enrichment, and making sure they feel safe and loved. In a client’s home, I follow their routines closely, respecting the pet’s habits and comfort zones. I keep things tidy, give plenty of affection (on the pet’s terms), and stay observant to make sure they’re happy, healthy, and stress-free while you’re away.
“I was nervous about hiring a dog walker while I’m away from home, but they have been absolutely amazing! They are patient with my dog, gentle, and always let me know how the walk went or if anything seems out of the ordinary. 10/10 would recommend!”

“Aseel is great! My dog loves her and is always excited to see her! Aseel is flexible and willing to work with my nursing schedule. She is reliable and trustworthy! We would be lost without her!”
