“I really appreciate how Nicole communicates with me about Sam's walks time, esp if the weather is rainy or very hot. She makes sure he gets his exercise and water while I'm away”

Whether your cat or dog is playful, energetic or shy I am dedicated to providing a tailored experience that best suits them! I work a 9-to-5 job with WFH flexibility and week-to-week scheduling variability, making it easier for my walks, check-ins, visits with your pets!

I am familiar with emergency protocols and can handle any unexpected situations with calmness and urgency
“Our Ollie absolutely loves Daniel! From the moment he walked in for the meet and greet they hit it off great! Daniel is very punctual, dependable and communicative. I absolutely trust him with my leash temperamental dog and looking forward to more lunch time adventures for them.”

“Ann did a great job with Grover. She provided pictures and thorough descriptions of the walk. I will definitely be using Ann for many walks in the future!”

“Erin was fantastic! She was a great communicator, reliable, and updated us following her walk. She gave us peace of mind and made us feel completely comfortable knowing our Thurgie was well cared for. We came home to a happy pup and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We’d definitely book with Erin again and highly recommend her to others!”

“Al has proven to be trustworthy, reliable, and caring. I have booked Al a couple of times for dog walks while I’ve been out of town, one booking was multiple days in duration. Al is very communicative and attentive. He respects our home and asks questions if he is unsure about something- like access linens to wipe our dog down from the rain. He does little things like this that assure me that Tacoma is well taken care of in our absence. I peak at the cameras from time to time and my Tacoma’s tail is always wagging when he sees Al. He has become our go-to.”

“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!”

“Heidi is fantastic! She takes such great care of my spirited and rambunctious puppy and Tillie always looks forward to seeing her. Heidi is incredibly communicative and went above and beyond to help me out when there was an emergency. Thanks so much!”

“Lucia has been walking my puppy and my senior dog almost every day for the past month or so and has been great. She is very communicative, providing photos and updates after every walk. She also is very accommodating when the unexpected comes up such as days when I did not go into the office. She is very reliable and trustworthy.”

“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!”

“Patricia is a wonderful Rover! She is flexible, responsive, patient, and cares for each animal she meets! Our two dogs have very different needs- she asked great questions about each one and made sure both got the attention they needed. Well all be happy to see Patricia again!”


“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.”


About: With over 20 years of experience caring for multiple cats, I’ve developed a deep understanding of feline behavior, needs, and personalities. I currently share my home with two female cats Daisy and Lucy. I’ve nurtured cats from kittenhood through their senior years, providing loving, attentive care every step of the way. While I’m a lifelong cat owner, I also have a genuine love for dogs and enjoy spending time with them just as much, whether it’s going for walks, playing fetch, or simply giving them the affection they crave. I’m actively working toward a dog training certificate to further strengthen my skills and knowledge. I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine, especially since I work from home full-time. This flexibility allows me to give pets consistent attention, regular feedings, playtime, and any needed care throughout the day. Whether it's scheduled walks, medication, or just some extra cuddle time, I'm able to be present and responsive to each pet’s needs. It's truly a joy to incorporate caring for animals into my everyday life. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I provide pets with a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely, feeding schedules, exercise, medication, and playtime, to ensure consistency and reduce stress. In a client’s home, I respect their space and routines, making sure pets feel secure in their familiar environment. In my home, I create a cozy, pet-friendly space with plenty of affection, supervision, and enrichment. My goal is always to keep pets happy, healthy, and cared for just like they’re my own.
“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.”

About: Not just another dog lover! I’ve had at least one dog, plus, at all times. Most from a puppy until departure. Experience with rescued dogs in making them feel comfortable/relaxed. We had a rescue from Hurricane Katrina. I’m very patient, caring, & don’t mind petting or playing all day. I’m hoping to give them the love and care when you can’t be ther. I work from home several days during the week and can properly share my time for walks, feeding, and playing. I have a Cocker Spaniel who gets along with other dogs well. I’m home in the evenings and weekends. I live in a pet friendly apartment complex with plenty of grassy areas and usually take my dog on a walk in the neighborhood. I don’t have any furniture or bed restrictions. I am happy to sit at your home, if preferred.
“I had a weird situation where I was home but had to be sleeping due to a night shift and flight that landed just 8 hours before that shift. Kay was amazing and took Prongs for a walk while I was sleeping. She was so quiet, I didn't even hear her come in and Prongs came back tired and happy. Thanks!”

Laura just started walking Echo a couple times a week and she's been great!! She has sent a bunch of pictures and Echo looks so happy, and she was happy to just stay and keep her company for awhile when Echo didn't feel like walking far because of the heat. Very communicative and prompt with responses; I'm excited for her to keep walking Echo!

Sonya was very patient and persistent when my dog didn't want to go on his walk. She knew it was important for him to go on a potty break and stayed until the job was done. I appreciate that she was very communicative and sent many pictures. She did a great job and I would recommend her to anyone!

Autumn was great with Cooper! He looked forward to her walks every day and she took amazing care of him and our home. We appreciated how attentive she was to Cooper and it was clear how much she cared about him and made sure that he was happy and communicated with us clearly each day. We will always reach out to Autumn first when we need a walker/sitter!
