“Our pups love Amber! She walks them twice a week and they get sooo excited when she’s here. She’s consistent and super easy to communicate with. We’re very lucky to have found her ☺️”


“Thomas has been a life saver for us with our dog Guinness. He is always on time, he is reliable, he is patient with our somewhat moody, large dog, and he has become our regular walker 3x per week. Thomas is super responsive to messages and seems to genuinely enjoy spending time with Guinness. I highly recommend Thomas !”

“Janaki did a great job for us . She arrived on time and was able to make friends with our dog that has a bad tendency to over react when greeting newcomers, but Janaki was able to handle this well. We liked her photos on the walk especially charmed with phot of her holding two bags of poop.”

About: I myself have pets and I too am hesitant to leave anyone with them. I will treat your pet like it’s my own and keep you updated every step of the way! I am actively trying to get as many steps in as I can per day, so I love going on long walks! But I also love chilling on the couch with a shy or non-active pet. I’m available in the mornings for drop-ins and walks as well as drop-ins and walks in the afternoon! For mid-day care, I am more available on the weekends or summer months. I love being active with pups! I like to make sure the pet feels loved and safe first and foremost and I make sure to keep great communication with the client! I am very adamant on making sure all the necessary tasks are completed as well.
“Chris is very caring and conscientious and we appreciate his attention to detailed instructions for our dogs so much. He arrived and took the dogs for their walk on schedule and even spent some time with them after their walk. Our dogs can be persnickety and willful but he is very patient with them.”

“Edward was great with my two dogs. One is a one year old and the other is 12 years old. He was great at communicating with me when he got there, sending pictures of the dogs and when he finished the walk and how the dogs did. I would definitely recommend Edward for waking your dogs.”
About: Loving, Reliable Pet Care with a Flexible Schedule 🐶🐾 I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities — from small seniors to large energetic breeds. I’ve raised a puppy of my own and have been professionally paid to house-sit and care for multiple dogs (up to five at once). I understand how to match a dog’s energy, follow routines, and create a calm, dependable environment. I'm confident with big dogs (up to 100 lbs) and always tailor my care to each pet’s personality and needs. I’m currently in a flexible, open-schedule period and available most weekdays and weekends. I can often accommodate last-minute requests and daytime visits. If your pet thrives on routine, I’m happy to set up regular visits or walks. My availability may change slightly week-to-week, but I’ll always communicate clearly and keep my calendar updated. I take pet care seriously — you’re trusting me with a member of your family, and I don’t take that lightly. I always follow your instructions closely, check gates and leashes, and make sure pets are secure, safe, and comfortable at all times. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos during visits, so you’re never left wondering how things are going. I’m calm under pressure, and I work to create a low-stress experience for both you and your pet.
“Demaris was great and sweet with Bowie. She was also super flexible since our timing was a little off. We would recommend her to anyone looking to find short term care for their pup!”

“Ariela was so communicative and easy to work with! We will definitely book her again. She was very responsive and was flexible with meet and greets. She is reliable, flexible, and has a warm energy.”

“Jesse has been great with our very active and sometimes reactive dog. He built a relationship with our dog quickly and we are very pleased to have such a reliable person to help out with Cooper! Jesse is also super responsive and works with our scheduling changes as needed.”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and my family currently has two Labs, so I’m very comfortable with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, and giving dogs the attention they need to feel happy. I also have several years of experience pet sitting for neighbors, caring for dogs and other animals while their owners were away. I understand that every pet has a different personality and routine, and I always try to make them feel comfortable, cared for, and well exercised. Whether it’s an energetic walk, sticking to feeding schedules, or simply spending quality time with them, I genuinely enjoy being around animals and treating them with patience and tenderness. Pet care fits easily into my routine. I currently work part time, so I have a pretty flexible schedule and plenty of availability for walks, feeding, playtime, or check-ins throughout the week. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for during visits. For walks, I pay attention to leash safety, surroundings, and each pet’s energy level and needs. During check-ins, I make sure pets have fresh water, meals or medications if needed, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I also try to keep pets on their normal routine to help them feel relaxed while their owner is away. I respect my clients’ homes by keeping things clean, unaltered, and following any specific care instructions closely.
“Daisy was amazing!! She took such great care of our rottie/lab mix. She was responsible and was always on time. She came twice a day for his daily walks and showed Milo so much love! Would highly recommend Daisy to care for your pet! Thank you Daisy!!”

“Bing and his wife were amazing! There were extremely respectful, responsive and communicative. They gave my pup an extra long walk and even cleaned his feet before returning him home. I got lots of pictures and feedback from them. I highly recommend Bing and will definitely book again! Thank you!”

I highly recommend Lauryn for your pet sitting needs! She is reliable, on time and amazing with my 7 month old puppy. She took the time to learn about him and his needs and also sent me pictures and updates each time she walked him. We felt extremely comfortable and safe having her in our home. He was a happy boy when I got back home to him!

Jaimi and her daughter were amazing with my two dogs, Bumi and Lily. They took them on 30-minute walks to a dog play area, spent time playing with them, and even stayed longer to make sure both dogs were fully walked and able to use the bathroom. Communication was great throughout, and they were incredibly kind and attentive. Bumi and Lily were genuinely excited to see both Jaimi and her daughter, which says a lot. I’ll absolutely be booking them again for dog walking and pet care

Christopher walked our pups for two weeks while we were on vacation, and he was absolutely wonderful. He treated them with so much patience and kindness, even winning over our feisty girl who can be a bit of a challenge at first. We can tell our pups got their workout after walking with him! Christopher was always on time, dependable, and it was clear our dogs really enjoyed their time with him. We especially loved the thoughtful videos he sent—it was such a joy to see our pups happy and well cared for while we were away. We definitley recommend Christopher to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker!

Zoe is amazing! She’s on time, super kind, and Luna absolutely loves her. It’s clear she really understands and cares about animals. I feel totally at ease knowing Luna is in such good hands. Highly recommend Zoe to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!
