Tonya is wonderful! She's reliable, responsible and trustworthy. She has taken good care of our puppy and we will continue to use her as our dog walker. She's great.

About: Hi everyone! I'm Charlotte and I'm a college student majoring in Wildlife Conservation. I've always loved all kinds of animals, and I have two cats at home! I have sitting experience with cats, dogs, hamsters, guinea pigs, gerbils, rabbits, fish, and geckos. I’m a very active person and would love to play with dogs or take them on long walks. I also really enjoy a nice long cuddle session! I have so much love for animals and I love taking care of them. Please reach out if you think I'm a good fit for your pet! I will be able to fit pet care in very well. My other job is babysitting for two kids, and that has very flexible timing and I can always take them with me if needed. I can drive so I will be able to stop by houses easily! I can take dogs into my backyard where they can run around, but they won't be able to go in my house because I have my own pets. Likewise, I cannot bring cats into my own home because my cats do not get along with others. But I am more than willing to visit my client's home and stay overnight if necessary!

Our family booked Jenesis because we had an off month of work schedules and she was able to go above and beyond for us. Jenesis was incredible with our two large pups. She was so patient with them on days they had extra wiggles and she was an excellent communicator with my family. She took them on long walks everyday and they both got much better on leash because of Jenesis. If we ever need a dog walker again we will absolutely be reaching out to her and suggest you all do the same! I cannot say enough good things about Jenesis! Maple and Raja love you!

About: I’ve had both cats and dogs and have cared for them since I was 10. I love animals and miss being around them since mine are back at home while I’m at college. I am a college student, and have availability certain week days and or nights as well as the weekends in the afternoon and the evenings. Your pets will be supervised at all times during walks and safely taken care of with whatever needs they require. I will walk in safe communities as well.

About: I’ve been a (very happy) dog owner for 10 years, and an animal lover since my first pet cat at the age of 5. My two rescue pups are my life, and they live a healthy, active and loving life with me here in Burke. Growing up on a farm provided me with a life filled with animal caretaking, and has given me several unique opportunities to care for a TONS of different pets. Since living here in Burke for 2 years, I take a lot of pride in meeting and interacting with all of our dogs and families within our community. I spend a lot of time helping out neighbors with last minute dog walks or home sitting, and working with our other community members to create inclusive, safe environments for our dogs to play and interact at our local dog park. Taking care of dogs is a serious passion of mine. I treat my dogs Molly and Luna as my children, and I extend that same love and care to all fur babies who come my way. Working with pets is currently my full-time job and focus! Finding time to take care of your loved one(s) IS my routine, and can be available to provide walks, play time, house sitting, park visits, etc., from 9-4 every week day. I like to treat your pets as if they are my own. I will follow all directions providing for feeding, walks, and more. But on top of that I love to just spend time with them to make them feel at ease - belly rubs, playing with their favorite toy, or whatever else brings them joy!

About: I have been surrounded by animals my whole life, gaining experience in cat, dog, and even fish pet care. Currently, I have worked as a Kennel Assistant at Hayfield Animal Hospital for the past year. Through my job as a Kennel Assistant, I clean dog/cat cages, provide new food/water, and take dog boarders on walks. Due to my experience in this job, I have the skills to handle animals with different behavioral issues/needs comfortably. Furthermore, I have been a volunteer through the Lost Dog & Cat Rescue Foundation for the past three years. As a volunteer, I clean cat cages, provide new food, water, and socialization, along with holding meet and greets with potential adopters at the 7 Corners PetSmart. I have also taken a two-year Veterinary Sciences course at my high school where I gained hands-on experience with different animal handling techniques and was educated on disease and behavior signs and symptoms. Overall, my experiences in animal pet care and handling have given me the ability to be comfortable and safe when handling different animals. I'm currently working part-time for the Summer, so I will be available a good amount of the time to help take care of your pets! I am normally available most mornings and nights. I expect to be unavailable some mornings from 6am-12pm and some evenings from 3pm-7pm. However, this varies depending on my schedule for the week. Having pets of my own for the past 18 years, I know first-hand how important your pets are. Not only will I provide them with a safe environment, but I will treat them as my own, making sure that they remain happy and enjoy their time with my while you are away! When in my client's home, I will be neat and tidy, cleaning up after myself and your pet(s) if needed. Personally, I understand how hard it is to be away from your fur baby, so I will send video or picture updates as requested!

About: I have taken care of cats and dogs my entire life whether they’re mine or friends. I have a 80lb doberman/pitt mix making me very comfortable with large dogs, and a 10lb tabby cat making me comfortable with your tiny friends too! I work part time, and on days I do work I have a 2 hour lunch break. This allows me to be available for your furry friends whenever you need! I have experience walking dogs who are not fully leash trained and those that are reactive. I know the area well and am confident I can keep your furry friends safe and entertained!

Oluwatosin is a wonderful dog walker who always arrives on time, has a gentle and loving demeanor with our dogs demeanor. She will promptly tell us if our dog is having any issues, didn’t go to the bathroom, etc. Our dog loves being walked by her and anxiously waits by the window for her arrival. We will definitely recommend her to anyone needing a trustworthy person for their fur ball.

From the moment we met Reese, we knew that she was going to be a perfect fit for us and our dog. She has a winning personality. Our dog loved her immediately (which is not always the case with new people). She showed up on time every day, did the work well and completely, and let us know what was going on. We could tell, even from a distance, that she she really cared for our dog. I gave her five stars only because that’s all’s the system allows. If I could, I’d give her 10!
