“Genniver was nothing short of amazing. She was unable to get in the gate (my fault) and unable to get in touch with me. Many might have gotten frustrated and left, but Genniver got creative and was able to take care of my boy. She sent prompt updates, took care of Gus, and provided pictures of the walk. I have already booked her for another day and know that Gus is in good hands. Thank you, Genniver.”


“Samantha is very responsible and careful about her communication. You can tell a real love of animals and people are at the root of her choice to do dog walking. I think you will appreciate her services.”


About: My little girl, Elliot, and I have so much love to give that we thought "why be selfish when we can share with all creatures"! Elliot and I wanted to start this business together to learn responsibility, money management, mental health benefits of walking, and of course getting to play with and care with as many pets as possible : ) We have our own doggy, Lily, and she is just as much a member of our family as we are. Elliot is such a caring helper that we think this will be such a great learning experience to help better develop her into adulthood. I cannot guarantee that she will be be present on ALL walks, cus she does still need school and soccer training, but we are splitting all earnings 50/50. Thanks for reading and giving us a chance to spread some love <3 I used to work 60+ hours a week and was financially compensated very well, but once we had Elliot I knew quality of life was far more important than dollar signs. I decided to start a business and have worked hard to be able to drop off and pick up Elliot from school, and also take her to soccer and gymnastics every week. Short story long... I have plenty of free time and love outside walks. I have had pet dogs and cats (and rabbits, and gerbils, and hamsters, and birds, and chickens) as long as I have been alive. My Dad grew up on a farm and taught us how to care for animals at a young age. We treat every single animal as if it were a member of our family. We honor our client's wishes and make sure to keep you pet's best interests in mind.

“Nashira was quick to respond at the last minute to walk my sweet doggie and even came a day early to meet her! Very much appreciated. I will definitely contact her again!”


“Monica is always very diligent with her communication and sends a ton of pics. We know exactly what our girls did during their time with her. This was our second time utilizing her services and will definitely do so again.”


About: I’ve been passionate about dogs for as long as I can remember, and I've had the pleasure of dog-sitting for the past five years. From lively Boxers and playful Boston Terriers to majestic Great Pyrenees and tiny Chihuahuas, I’ve had the joy of caring for all kinds of dogs. I have two dogs of my own now, and I’ll admit, I never imagined I’d be "that person," but they truly are my world! Spoiled? Absolutely, but in the best way. Thanks to working from home, I’m able to offer dog-sitting services right here at my place, or I can travel to visit your pup at your home. Your dog will be treated like family. I understand how much you miss them while you're away, but I promise, they’ll receive so much love and attention that they’ll be eager to come back! I’m here to provide companionship, comfort, and plenty of care while you're at work or on a trip. -Paula I work from home, so I have plenty of time to spend with your dog and keep them company throughout the day. I have two dogs of my own, and they love to go outside to play, take bathroom breaks, or just soak up the sun. My home office is designed with pets in mind, offering plenty of space for your dog to feel comfortable, active, and well-cared-for. When caring for pets, I always prioritize their comfort, safety, and well-being, whether they’re at my home or yours. I truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique needs and personality, and I’m committed to providing them with the highest level of care and attention.

About: I’ve been dog and cat sitting since I was 10. I’ve worked with cats and dogs with disabilities and those with a range of temperaments and needs. I am currently helping leash train a Great Pyrenees puppy. I’m currently working part time doing Door Dash and studying for the MCAT, so I’ll have plenty of time and flexibility to take care of pets! I am hard working and detail-oriented. I make sure to follow instructions to fit the specific needs of the pet I am taking care of.

About: I am comfortable caring for all ages, and I have several years of experience administering oral medications. Please let me know if there's any specific requests you have!

About: I grew up on a ranch surrounded by all kinds of animals, so caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life! From playful puppies to curious cats, I’ve loved every moment spent with them. For the past 10 years, I’ve been a proud pet parent to my two dogs, Yogi and Zoey, who have taught me so much about love and companionship. Whether it’s feeding, walking, or just sharing cuddles, my experience with pets has been filled with joy and endless tail wags! My schedule is completely flexible. When I have a booking I adjust my schedule around my clients needs. Overall taking care of pets brings me joy and the exercise is a plus. I cherish the moments I get to spend with furry friends! I don’t board pets at my home because I have two dogs and limited space for more. However, when I care for pets in your home, I prioritize following your routine and keeping things consistent for them. I provide plenty of love and attention, ensuring they feel comfortable and happy. Plus, I send regular updates and photos to keep you informed while you’re away! Your pets will be in great hands!

Ariana P.
“I can’t recommend Ariana enough as a dog sitter. She’s one of the most organized and responsible people I know. She always thinks ahead, anticipates needs before they even come up, and keeps everything clean, structured, and stress-free. Beyond that, Ariana is incredibly kind, respectful, and genuinely loving toward animals. She’s been amazing with her own dog, Penelope, who is well-behaved, healthy, and clearly adored. I’ve seen firsthand how attentive and nurturing she is, and I know any pet in her care would be safe, happy, and deeply loved. Anyone would be lucky to have Ariana look after their dog!”
