“Thank you for your time, Elizabeth! I appreciate the responsiveness while booking an appointment, as well as the check-ins during/after the appointment. Will certainly be booking with you again!”

“Steve has been walking Buck for a couple of months now and he has been wonderful with Buck! When I forget to book them for the week they always reach out to see if it was a mistake or not and they still accommodate if I forgot.”

“Savannah was able to pick up a last minute booking on a holiday weekend and even cleaned up a mess my boy made while making sure I knew it wasn’t a big deal. Love to be able to not worry while I’m out!”

“Alyssa was fantastic!! Took the time to meet my pup & go over instructions. She did great my dog & I always came home to a very happy & tired dog. Would definitely recommend booking with her”

“Melissa was wonderful! She has such a strong, calm leader energy with my two German Shepherds — exactly what they need to respect and trust someone new. She also communicates really well, always letting me know when she’s home and how they’re doing. Thank you, Melissa ♡”

“Katie was amazing! Very reliable, responsive, and respectful. She was great with my dog and sent pictures / updates on each of their walks. I will definitely continuing using her going forward!”

“Arianna was incredible with our doggo Padme. Our dog can be a little sassy at times and will refuse to continue on walks unless she is treated (we have spoiled her!) but Arianna kept Padme moving and they had a great time. Really appreciate her working with dogs that have their own mind!”

About: I have been surrounded by pets my entire life, and my love for animals has only grown over the years. From a young age, I developed a deep understanding of pet care, particularly with dogs of all breeds and sizes. Four years ago, I adopted two puppies and personally trained them into well-behaved, obedient dogs, which taught me invaluable lessons in responsibility, patience, and proper pet care. In addition to my personal experience, I spent two years volunteering at CAPS Animal Shelter, where I was responsible for dog walking, feeding, cleaning cages, and ensuring the animals were happy and comfortable. Through this, I gained hands-on experience with dogs of all temperaments and needs. I work fully remotely, meaning I am home the majority of the day and have plenty of availability and flexibility. I also have extensive experience house and dog sitting and have never had a bad review! I have 10+ 5 star reviews I can reference for you. I take pride in being trustworthy, reliable, and respectful of your space and pets. I am currently working from home, fully remote so I am home majority of the day and have tons of availability and flexibility for your pets. I have had many years of experience house and dog sitting and have never had a bad review! I am very trustworthy and will be respectful of your space!
About: I have a deep love for all animals, and bond quickly with them. I'm patient and caring, as well as responsible and cautious. I over communicate and will send tons of updates, pictures and videos. I live and work downtown; I am within a few blocks of my apartment and can be flexible to walk and drop in during the day. I have ring cameras that I can set up in my home for boarding, or in your home for day visits, to give piece of mind that your pets are well looked after. I'm happy to board or visit your pets at their home! I have a city apartment with great windows, hardwood floors, lots of sunlight and tons of comfy spaces for kitties/dogs to get comfortable! I am happy visiting in your home as well, and will adjust my cadence to what your pet prefers. I can set up ring cameras to make sure your animals are happy and cared for during the day, and make sure, if they need immediate attention, I’m aware and available .
“Emily is reliable, consistent, and flexible. She provides thorough updates of her walks with pictures and feedback. I trust her 100% to care for my one year old Maltipoo, Milo. Highly recommended!”

“Madison gave me such peace of mind when I had to leave my dog for work over the weekend for the first time! She took my dog on long walks, gave her lots of love, and had great communication with me!!!”

“Mariana responded quickly, was very friendly, and asked great questions to make sure she had everything covered on our pup’s walk! She even thought to clean his paws when they got home because of all the salt. Would absolutely have her walk our pup again.”

“Tracy is amazing! She was so attentive to my dog, Tilly, and willing to do anything to make Tilly comfortable. She was also extremely responsive and communicative which made her a pleasure to work with. It’s clear that Tracy cares deeply about animals and her clients and I couldn’t recommend her more!”

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and truly understand how important it is to provide attentive, compassionate care. I’m committed to making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I also have experience caring for multiple pets at once, as I currently have two cats, so I’m comfortable managing different personalities, routines, and needs at the same time. I currently care for one of my pets who has asthma, which has given me hands-on experience administering medication multiple times a day and closely monitoring health needs. This experience has made me especially attentive to changes in behavior and routine, and comfortable supporting pets with ongoing medical needs. I also adopted a cat who came from a very difficult past and was initially fearful and withdrawn. Through patience, consistency, and a lot of love, I’ve helped him build trust and grow into a more confident, comfortable companion. That experience deepened my understanding of how to work with anxious or sensitive animals at their own pace. Through all of this, I’ve developed a strong understanding of animal behavior along with gentle, effective training techniques, allowing me to provide care that’s both nurturing and responsive to each pet’s unique personality. It is an every day piece of my routine as a primary carer for two pets of my own. I will give your loved ones the same level of care and attention that I am able to give to mine! I have indoor animals of my own, but am fully comfortable in a number of settings. Ive been surrounded by my own pets as well as those of friends and family. I know how much my boys mean to me and I will always approach care for your best friends the same way I would care for mine
“Samantha is a great communicator and caretaker. Samantha is a regular dogwalker for my medium/large rescue lab/shepherd mix named Tofu, who has some level of anxiety. Samantha always updates me if there are changes in schedule or with Tofu’s behaviors during the walk. Samantha also asks questions and is attentive to Tofu’s needs, and has been building a positive consistent relationship. Thank you, Samantha for giving Tofu the exercise he needs!”

“Johnna is fantastic. My boy, Ducky, can be a little nervous around new people, especially in HIS house. However, he warmed up to Johnna right away! She always arrives on time, gives Ducky hugs and scratches, and takes him on long walks. She truly goes above and beyond, which gives me great peace of mind. I will absolutely hire Johnna again to care for Ducky.”

I had a great experience with Kara. She was friendly, professional, and easy to communicate with. Kara was punctual, sent updates, and made me feel completely comfortable knowing my dog was in good hands. I will definitely use her services again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy dog walker!

Pebbles was in great hands the entire weekend I was away. The communication was excellent - I got regular updates and always felt in the loop. His routines were followed perfectly, making the whole thing stress-free. Will definitely be booking again and highly recommend! Thanks, Elliot!

Maddy was amazing! She was so sweet and gentle with our nervous dog. Arrived on time, took him to all his favorite spots, and sent lots of pictures. Her communication was great throughout! We felt so relaxed knowing she was taking care of our dog! Absolutely will ask her to come by again!

Steven walked my dog Dexter for about eight months, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. He was always kind, professional, and genuinely cared about Dexter’s well-being. Both Steven and Tiffany were communicative, reliable, and flexible whenever schedules changed. We’re moving out of the neighborhood and are genuinely sad to be saying goodbye. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog walker.
Alicia is a superstar dog walker and we highly recommend her without any reservations. She meets the dogs at their level including running with our high energy labradoodle and cuddling/carrying our little Shih Tzu. They felt so much love and attention from Alicia. We appreciate you so much!
