“Nicole is very detailed and caring, we booked her only a week out from Thanksgiving with our very reactive and shy dog. She set up meetings before we would be away for a few days to get our dog accustomed to her, and then did an amazing job when we were away, she’s detailed and goes above and beyond for the animals she watches. Thank you Nicole!”

“Al was awesome with my small guy and went above and beyond. Ross ended up having tummy issues while I was away and was so well taken care of! Thank you!!”

“Ann is an exceptional dog walker. I have an elderly dog and Ann was very attuned to how she was feeling, how much she wanted to walk, and just followed her lead. Ann is a great communicator, sending me numerous pictures and written updates after each walk (three times a day). She is organized, friendly, is great with dogs, and makes sure everyone is on the same page. She coordinated with my cousin where my dog was staying. Rosie was very happy and relaxed when I went to pick her up.”

“Erin and her family are great! They’re punctual, reliable, and responsive. They did a great job of taking care of my dog. They came to meet her and run through her walk routine prior to the day of her being walked, and were fabulous all around. Can’t recommend them enough!”

Phoebe D.

“Daniel was great! He was super reliable, communicative, and made my dog comfortable. He prioritized good, long walks which was exactly what I asked for. Would have him back again!”

About: Hi! I’m a recent Physician Assistant graduate from EVMS with over 10 years of experience working as a veterinary assistant. Throughout my time in veterinary medicine, I cared for dogs and cats in clinical and boarding settings, including feeding, walking, administering medications (oral and injectable), and assisting with special needs and senior pets. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes and temperaments, including those that may be anxious or require extra care. My medical background also allows me to recognize early signs of illness or distress, providing added peace of mind while you’re away. I have experience with basic grooming such as bathing and nail trims, as well as safely handling pets when needed. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important trust and communication are. I provide reliable, attentive care and will keep you updated with messages and photos during each visit. I offer flexible scheduling, including evenings, weekends, and last-minute bookings I’m currently preparing to start my career as a PA, which gives me a flexible schedule for pet care.

“Savonna is fantastic with my pets. She is so thoughtful and caring. She made sure they had everything they needed and was patient with our nervous pup.”

“Alexis is great! She was super attentive on our meet and greet with the dogs and then was very communicative leading up to walking the dogs and when she got them and dropped them back at the house. The dogs were so excited to see her!”

Brett G.

“I didn’t realize I could be even more grateful for Vianca, but here I am!! She took the absolute best care of my best bud during an insane heat wave, even going as far as to bring him a cool bandana to wear during his walk so he wouldn’t overheat. You can’t teach this type of intuitive, thoughtful care - she is simply magic! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!”

Madeline R.

“Absolutely outstanding! Gabriela is punctual, reliable, and fantastic with my dog. She sends clear updates and photos after every walk, makes sure water bowls are filled, and always wipe paws on rainy days. My pup comes home happy, calm, and well-exercised. The attention to detail (double checking the leash, securing the door, and noting any changes in behavior) gives me total peace of mind. Couldn’t ask for better care, highly recommend!”

David G.

“Lily helped us last minute and was really responsive! We would be happy to use her again.”

Kristen & Joshua S.

“Highly recommend Ali, who has been walking my dogs nearly daily for a few weeks. He is always on time and very diligent about sending information on the dogs. One of my dogs is 15 with mild dementia and very slow moving. Ali is patient and caring with him. And he makes sure the younger dog gets a vigorous walk — she’s even lost a pound.”

Anneliese R.

“Cindy is amazing! I loved how we had an introduction call the night before for logistics and my Coraline looked so happy on her walk with her new friend Bentley!”

Chloe B.

“Wonderful job walking my dog midday by Elizabeth. She is great with my dog. He instantly liked her. She sent me updates and followed my instructions. Already booked another walk with her.”

Gina A.

“I went on an 8 day trip and Chelsea took great care of my dog. She was highly responsive, paid close attention to detail, and went above and beyond for Shinji. 10/10 would recommend! She's a great choice for your dog.”

Ryshon D.

“Mirella is great! She’s quick to respond and communicates her availability! Highly recommend and will continue to book her for my sweet Bubba!”

Candace W.

Dejanaye W.

“Simi is amazing. My pup loves her, she gives him a great walk twice a week. Simi communicates well and regularly, and even went above and beyond to clean his foot when my dog was bothering it. She is incredibly kind and compassionate, I highly recommend her.”
