About: I've always wanted a dog but only ever had cats. So, I'd walk the neighborhood dogs, dog sit, go to dog parks, you name it! I've even done some minor dog training (no certification, just online and book research) to better help the precious puppers! I now have a work from home job so I have a great deal of time to spend with pets during the day! So far I've had no complaints about dog howls during zoom meetings 😊 I will only be able to walk your dogs or dog sit at your home. I live in a house with max pet capacity, so they cannot stay at my place. As for dog walking, I will bring a water bowl so they're not dehydrated, treats or toys if you'd like, and for potty breaks I can happily take them for a short walk if they need a crate break! If they get into muddy areas I can clean their paws, but I need to use your hose as I can only carry so many pet wipes with me on walks. If they do not have their shots or flea treatments, I need you to be honest with me. I will be walking other dogs and need to be concerned for them and my cats safety. If they are a puppy without shots I cannot take them to a dog park. I will need to avoid wooded areas if they don't have tick treatments. I also will not allow ANY dogs into my vehicle to prevent possible flea spreading. Meaning any dog parks must be within walking distance of your home, preferably a mile. I want to do what's best for you, your fur baby, and other fur babies.

11. Katrina M.
“Katrina was awesome! She responded promptly and was flexible with the time I needed her. Her communication and updates were great! I'd recommend her to anyone!”


12. Cynthia D.
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was a child. In the past 10 years, I’ve done a number of house sitting/pet sitting jobs; including dropping in for feedings, walks, cleaning litter boxes, and administering eye drops for a dog with eye problems. My husband and I currently have an 11 month old rescue pup that we’ve been training ourselves, and 2 cats. We absolutely adore our fur babies! ☺️ I’m currently in a graduate school program that is 100% online and has a very flexible schedule. Therefore, I am be available to drop in to walk and/or care for your pet(s) almost any day/any time! I’m available to drop by for dog walks, potty breaks, meal time, medication administration, and other needed similar services! I do not offer boarding at my house currently.


13. Abigail C.

“Jae goes out of their way to make owners and pups feel at home! My dog adores them and I love that she does repeat drop ins every weak. Ella is in heaven!”


14. Jordan M.
“Jordan is super sweet with her animals and mine, she has a huge heart for all fur babies and deeply cares about their safety and wellbeing. I highly recommend her as a fun, loving and dependable sitter!”


15. Daniel W.


“Daniel is a very reliable and responsible dog walker. He has walked our two big Huskey-German Shepherds multiple times and we’ve always had great experiences. Each time the communication has been excellent and he always sends fantastic photos of our pups. We feel fortunate to be able to rely on Daniel, when we’re out of town.”


16. Aaliyah C.
“I would highly recommend Aaliyah! I have had many dog sitters over the years, but she will be my go too moving forward. She sends updates throughout her visit with pictures and when I come home, I can tell my dogs (and my home) were well loved and happy!”


17. Kim B.
About: I have had at least one pet my entire life. I am as passionate about Cats as I am Dogs. I recently lost my 15 year old Dachshund. He was the love of my life ( sorry Husband). Currently we have three Senior Dogs. We would have more if we had a bigger home. I recently left my position as a Client Care Supervisor at a local Animal Hospital. I was there for twelve years and it was by far the best work experience I have ever had. I adore Senior Cats, Kittens and every Cat in between those life stages. Same with Dogs. Senior Dogs delight me as much as any Puppy. Any Animal in my presence is immediately my favorite Animal. During my years at the Animal Hospital I was never medically trained . I did however learn to recognize symptoms of common medical issues and signs that a Pet needs immediate medical attention. I would love to make your Pet ( or Pets ), my new Best Friend. I am currently unemployed while I participate in an advanced 300 hour Yoga Teacher Training. I have a fairly flexible daytime, night and weekends schedule. I would like to meet any pets and their owners before walking them or house sitting. I would adhere to the pet owner’s standard of care. I will provide as many photos and updates as the pet owner wants.


18. Kayla C.
“Kayla has been a great sitter for us! We have two cats that she watches when we are away. Our cats are fairly antisocial, but always love when she comes to stay. Kayla sends us update pictures every day of our precious babies.”


19. Dorothy S.
“Dorothy is incredible with dogs—she's patient, attentive, and genuinely loves spending time with them. Whether it’s just a quick walk or an overnight stay, every dog is treated like her own.”


20. Hanna M.

“Hanna was wonderful!! She sent us lots of fun photos and even worked on a few training strategies with our young pup during their walk together. 10/10!! ♥️”
