“I was lucky to find Tasha, a new local dog walker in our town. She responds to messages quickly, is available for morning walks, friendly and, most importantly, punctual and reliable.”
“Isabelle walks my goldendoodle furchild every day and she’s such an important part of Maya’s life. To start, she’s super communicative and reliable, which makes it really easy to plan and coordinate walks and dogcare with her. She was also great about learning what behaviors we try to reinforce, Maya’s habits and routines and what Maya eats, which gives me the warm and fuzzies that as a parent, aunt Isabelle is staying consistent with dad’s rules. Isabelle is so great with dogs and has good judgment generally; seeing how she interacts with Maya and hearing her describe how Maya did on a given walk, I trust her implicitly. Lately she’s been really helpful in figuring out fun new walking routes or destinations that cater to Maya’s interests and mood and energy level. Yep Isabelle is a wonderful dog “auntie” and just a delightful human being. I don’t know what her advertised rates are on here, but you should pay them and then some. Isabelle, get after it girl. Charge people what you’re worth! ?”
“Molly did a great job walking/visiting our goldendoodle this week! She was really responsive, left great messages and photos, and gave our pup the love and attention she needed. We will book her again!”
About: For me, pets are more than animals — they’re family. I believe every pet deserves patience, affection, attention, and care that makes them feel safe and loved.

I’ll treat your furry family member with the same kindness and respect I’d want for my own, and I’ll do my best to make every visit a happy one! I balance pet care with my regular work schedule and make an effort to be dependable, organized, and communicative with every pet parent. I can coordinate visits, walks, and sitting around my availability, including evenings and weekends when arranged in advance. I understand that pets thrive on consistency, so I’ll do my best to follow their normal feeding, walking, playtime, and bedtime routines. I’ll also keep you updated so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is in caring hands! Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I’ll take the time to understand their personality, habits, feeding instructions, and any special needs before caring for them. I’m happy to follow your house rules, keep doors and gates secure, use leashes properly, and make sure your pet has fresh water and a clean, comfortable environment.

About: Hi, I'm Noah! I'm currently completing a 12-month apprenticeship in a music recording studio. Because my studio schedule fluctuates, I specialize exclusively in in-home house sitting for calm, well-trained, small-to-medium dogs. I love providing a peaceful, predictable environment for dogs who enjoy a more relaxed pace. Since I work in blocks of time, I am a great fit for independent dogs who are comfortable being home alone for a few hours during the day while I am in sessions. I will always make sure your pup gets plenty of morning and evening companionship, structure, and love. Please note: To ensure the best care around my studio hours, I can't take on puppies, dogs with severe separation anxiety, or large, high-energy breeds right now. As a music studio apprentice, my daily schedule varies, so house sitting is an ideal arrangement for me. I will use your home as my main base of operations. Although I step out for blocks of time during the day for studio sessions, my hours are flexible. This means I'll be consistently available for all critical routines, including morning and evening feedings, extended evening companionship, and bedtime potty breaks. I specialize in caring for independent, calm dogs who are perfectly happy to nap and relax on their own for a few hours while I'm in a session. If you provide me with a list of rules and instructions, I am happy to comply. I am good at improvising in certain situations where I'm confused and can remain calm. I will take care of your dog as if it were my own, treating it with the utmost respect and care.

About: Hi! I’m Izabella, I’m 24 years old, currently pursuing my master’s degree, and I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life. I currently have two cats of my own and also help care for my dad’s two dogs, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my daily life. I know how important it is to find someone you truly trust with your pets, and I pride myself on being reliable, patient, communicative, and attentive to every pet’s individual needs and personality.

In a client’s home, I make sure pets have fresh water, meals on schedule, clean litter boxes or potty breaks, exercise/playtime, and lots of attention and reassurance. I also pay close attention to changes in behavior or appetite so I can quickly notice if something seems off. I understand that trust is extremely important when someone is caring for your pets and entering your home, so I pride myself on being respectful, responsible, communicative, and dependable. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel reassured while they’re away. Because I have experience with both cats and dogs, including pets who are anxious or not feeling well, I know the importance of patience, supervision, and creating a calm environment where pets feel safe and secure.

Jennifer’s been walking my two dogs for about eight months, and she’s been amazing. My adventurous Cookie pulls a lot, and Luna is nervous with city noises, but Jennifer handles both with calm confidence. She’s responsible, patient, and clearly loves what she does. I always feel comfortable knowing my girls are safe and cared for when they’re with her. We’re so grateful to have found her.
Jessica took care of our Bruno again by giving him a daily walk while we were out of town. We can tell he loves his walks with her and we know he is in good care with her. She gave him his daily supplements before his walks and we enjoyed seeing pictures from each walk with quick recap notes.
Kaleigh was absolutely amazing with my dog Cashew. He was recently adopted and we found out day of that he was anxious about being walked by someone different than me, but Kaleigh spent so much extra time building trust and making sure he was comfortable. She didn’t force anything, didn’t give up, and ended up being able to get him to walk in the end! I’m truly so grateful for her patience, kindness, and dedication to making Cashew feel safe. Would definitely book with her again!
Alison walked my dog on the days I worked for over a year, and I truly couldn’t have asked for anyone better. She was always reliable, caring, and so accommodating with my odd hours and schedule changes. My dog is very shy and usually takes a while to trust new people, but she loved Alison from the moment they met, which meant so much to me. I never had to worry when she was with Alison because I knew she was in loving, trustworthy hands. I’m so grateful for the care she gave her and would highly recommend Alison to anyone!
