“My pup is still getting used to unfamiliar people walking him outside. Rachel’s shown a lot of patience as they get to know each other more and he’s warming up little by little. I’m so glad I found her to help out.”

9. Denise T.
“Denise is an awesome caregiver for pets. Her attention to detail is unmatched, and her love and compassion for animals is inspiring. She cared for my girl poodle (age 12 at the time) Daisy and all her special needs. She was on the heavier side and had ligament problems in the hind legs and was also on a super strict diet because she needed to lose weight. Also her teeth needed to be brushed a certain way and she was on medication. All my requirements were met and exceeded by Denise! I got back my Daisy better than I left her, and she even gave her a bath for me. Denise is actually the best.”


10. Nathalia C.

“Nathalia is a gift that keeps on giving. She cared for my 75+ lbs mixed breed during my weeks long work emergency and saved the day by providing first class professional and personal care for my dog when I couldn’t make it home in time to walk him. She turns the adage: “if you want something done right you have to do it yourself” on its head. If you want pet care for your fur baby done right you get Nathalia. She helped me during my emergency when no one would. And she provided phenomenal care. My dog lives her!! I swear you’d think they’ve known each other for years but she just met my dog four days ago and they’ve bonded on the first day. And that is a huge relief not having to worry about someone actually caring for and about my dog. My kid. Nathalia isn’t just a dog walker, she’s a caregiver, she genuinely cares about my dog. She cares about every animal. She’s wonderful. She came through for me at the last minute and she has been kind, patient, professional and even loving. Like…literally loving my dog. Nathalia is the Platinum Standard when it comes to “Who Can I Trust to Take Care of My Baby?”. Thank you very, very, very much Nathalia, for taking great care of my dog. Definitely will be repeat clients.”

13. Camryn M.
“Camryn is an excellent choice for your dog's needs. She truly loves dogs, caring for them, making them happy, ensuring their safety. Camryn is extremely prompt, typically early to any assignment, and very enthusiastic. Dogs love her, and you will as well. Very honest and open.”

15. Emre C.
About: I love pets and ever since I was little I was obsessed with them. I have watched over bunnies, hamsters, birds, and cats. But my favorite one of them all is my dog. We have had our little guy for about 3 years. He is a super happy and funny companion who will keep your dogs company alongside me. I am a college student and am currently available full time to take care of your pets. If there are any behaviors of which I should know, let me know ahead of time. On top of that if you want to tell me your dogs favorite scratching point that would be much appreciated. ( if not I’ll sherlock it anyway) I am currently home full time and therefore watching your dog is my 1st priority. It also gives me joy and excercise over the summer. Our first floor is quite big and has enough room for the dogs to play. My Pomeranian will also keep your dog company. My Pomeranian likes to sleep in my room in his crate. Your dog can sleep wherever they want and however they like it if they are potty trained. If not I would appreciate if a crate is brought along with the dog.


16. Makenzie B.
“Makenzie is an amazing dog mama to two labradors Harley and Hudson. They live a very active and pampered life and are so well loved and cared for. They travel around the country with Makenzie also. Makenzie loves animals and has always shown love and compassion to animals and pets for as long as I’ve known her. She would make an exceptional care giver for someone’s pets when needed.”


17. Thaira V.

“On time, with a smile. Thaira is great and doggo looks forward to his walks with her.”


18. Nadia D.
“Nadia is incredibly responsible and caring, and would be a great person to help take care of your pet! I’ve seen her with many different dog breeds and she is very comfortable with them and addressing any needs that may arise! Anyone would be lucky to have her care for their animal!”


19. Alexander & Genesis M.
About: look no further for your boarding needs! I started working with dogs steadily a few years ago when the covid pandemic struck our country, and at that time we were having our baby. I noticed a dog walking position on Indeed, and decided to give it a try, knowing I have always loved dogs and animals in general, and began working for a small startup that I have since left, and with new experience and knowledge I decided to give it a try on my own, and have loved every moment since. Our little family will care for your pup like no other. When your pet is in our home, they will be adored by my daughter a gentle and playful 4 yr old, and will have attention and care as if they were our very own family member! We have some wonderful clients and are looking to expand and perhaps create a pet brand worthy of being called a family. We hope to create lasting bonds with your pup so they feel at home even when you must leave them with us for a bit. We have a few clients but are looking to expand our boarding roster! We usually sit for our clients when they go on a trip for business or a vacation, and some of our clients have multiple dogs. Our days usually begin at 7-8am, with breaks at 1pm, 5pm, and end around 930-10 pm with a last walk of the night. Any preferences will be taken into account on a case-by-case basis so we can provide the ultimate comfortable stay for your pet. we understand that a pup can feel anxious and even sad when boarding, so we work to minimize that inevitable feeling of missing you! We have plenty of room, and your pup will have roaming privileges unless you say otherwise. They will hang with the family and most of the time our pup friends as we call them tend to laze about and get comfortable, or play. We also make regular park visits. Some clients prefer to provide crates in order to keep their pet feeling secure in a familiar place, please let us know of any preferences or concerns you have, but we have one available for regular sized dogs that may prefer it.

About: Hello, My name is Anna. I'm 34 years old. I'm outgoing, friendly and kind. I have owned pets growing up.

I hope that I can be a great candidate for your adorable pet. My Work Schedule is flexible I work close to home I get one hour break so when pets are boarding I have that afternoon time to walk them and check up on them.Weekends are also great since I'm off from work. I work Monday through Friday from 9am-7pm. So weekend works best for me. I have a fenced backyard and pets are also Allowed to stay inside my house as well.
