“Awesome with Charlie, and me! Punctual, accommodating on short notice, very kind and friendly, overall just a badass. Kept her safe with my concerns, and even changed the walk to make Char more comfortable. Will def work with you again- thanks Lexi!”

“Paulette has been walking my dog for months now. She is trustworthy, caring, punctual, and most of all she loves animals. My dog and cat love her and she has been a great asset to my family. I highly recommend her for all your pet needs.”

About: I walk 10,000 steps a day and would love to walk your dog the extra mile. I've taken care of pets my whole life and love to volunteer in local shelters. I can teach your dog a few tricks, get all their zoomies out with a nice run, and give them all the frisbee, ball, tug of war, hide and seek, etc. playtime that they might want. I can also provide extra care to older, post surgery, and/or disabled pets. I also have experience with birds, turtles, mice, frogs, and fish. Looking to build long term relationships with my clients and new pet friends. You can always reach me when I'm pet sitting if you ever have a question, I am always just a phone call away. I'm currently self employed as a small business owner and mostly working from home. My schedule is very flexible and I always make time for long walks anyway so pet walks fit well into my routine of things. I always make sure the pets have food and a fresh bowl of water. After that I like to build some trust with sniffs and treats, see if they know any tricks. Once the pet is comfortable it's time for a walk and/or playtime to get all the pent up energy out. I think playtime is the most happy time for pets so I always to engage in a few different kinds of games until I find one that they love. This way the pets are happy and comfortable and can happily nap for the rest of the day after we are done.
“Aixa was wonderful and so sweet and patient with our dog - he absolutely loved her! It was great to know my dog was well taken care of during his walks. I highly recommend her to take care of your pets.”

“Rebecca was quick in her responses, great with our dog, and willing to do the extra for us on Christmas Day! Sincerely appreciate her work for our dog and family!!”

“Bill is an exceptional dog walker! He took such amazing care of my Cooper. First, he was so accommodating and flexible by walking my Cooper for 1.5 hours every day when no other dog walker offered more than 1-hour walks. Second, he sent me daily pictures of their walks, taking Cooper to parks and his favorite local spots, sending me a daily rover report card. If that wasn't enough, Bill had a procedure on his hand one day, and he still showed up for his walk with Cooper. I was okay with him skipping one day, but his response was "I'm committed to walking Cooper." I was beyond impressed, and I knew what an animal lover Bill is. Most importantly, Cooper absolutely adored him. He wouldn't even get out of bed until he arrived. Seeing their pictures together made me a little jealous, but I was so happy to see how happy he made my Cooper. Bill is a true animal lover and has a huge heart which was very important to me. I didn't want someone to just come and walk my dog. I wanted someone who would be a loving companion for Cooper, and he definitely was loved by Cooper. I highly recommend Bill for all of your animal care needs. I'm sure my Cooper misses him too. Thank you, Bill for taking such exceptional care of my family. You make such a positive difference with what you do!”

“Cari is professional, timely, personable, and absolutely marvelous with our dog Jade. She knows dog behavior and has been great helping our recently adopted dog gain confidence. She picked up our job same day and has handled a full week, super important since I injured my knee and wasn’t able to do Jade’s daily walks myself.”


“Chloe is an incredibly sweet and attentive walker. She observed early signs of heat exhaustion in my dog and was sure to take action along with giving me educated recommendations. I’d recommend Chloe for anyone with busy days in need of a walker!”

About: I’m a girl that enjoys spending my free time with furry friends! I have 10+ years of experience working pets of all kinds. Family, friends, coworkers, and neighbors rely on me for their pet sitting needs, and I have experience as a vet assistant, kennel technician, and veterinary receptionist. I am currently working on my undergrad to become a Veterinary Technician as well :) I am available for dog walking, house check-ins, potty time and bathing/nail trims on Monday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday's after 5pm. I have open availability for all services on Tuesday, Wednesday and Sunday's. Caring for pets whether they're canines or felines in my home or at a client's home is very important. As always, they will have access to water at all times, receive their meals and medications (will be documented to keep track), and be loved as if they're my own. All pets will go potty regularly, spend time doing enrichment activities and go on walks to stretch their legs. Regarding our kitty friends, their litter boxes will be checked twice a day to ensure urine and bowel production, and they will receive the same care as our pups.

“Lauren is a caring and conscientious caregiver. She loves dogs and takes great care to make sure that she has your dog’s best care in mind. Our dog loves to be walked by Lauren.”

About: I have been an animal lover since childhood and a pet parent for many years. I will bring all my experience to taking care of your pets. As I have flexibility to work remotely I will be able to take care of your pets on weekdays and weekends. I have enough time for walks and playtime. I have an extremely friendly dog and a dog friendly cat. They will keep your pet company. There is sufficient space in the house to run around and play.

About: I am a positive-reinforcement dog trainer and petcare specialist. I have professional training certifications from Karen Pryor Academy and Do More With Your Dog, with seven years of experience training and over ten years of experience taking care of animals. 🐶💕 NOTE FOR WALKING: I have experience walking reactive dogs and dogs who have displayed anxious, fearful, and/or aggressive behaviors. However, I do not take any dog that is not dog friendly (i.e. socialized) into my home for my family’s safety and your pet’s safety. Thanks for understanding! ———————————-—————- I care about your pet’s comfort and feel confident that I have the tools and experience to help. I’m experienced in creating a fear-free space through working as a trainer and will only use positive reinforcement training methods to help set your dog up for success in my home. I also have experience working with puppies, separation anxiety, and dog/people reactive dogs and will tailor your dog’s experience to your dog’s individual needs. My own dog is social with other dogs and loves to play. While I do not have a fenced-in yard, you can rest easy knowing that your pet is always supervised. Potty breaks will be taken in the backyard on a leash and play/snuggles are welcomed on the couches and bed. I try my best to make sure that your dog comes home clean and content! I always pick up after my dog and every dog that comes through my backyard to prevent the transmission of diseases and pride myself on cleanliness! I require a vaccine history for the health and safety of your pets and mine. Please disclose if your pet has any unique behaviors, allergies, or tendencies to eat foreign objects (or stuffed toys) so I can prepare accordingly. I prefer to take a single dog but if you have multiple dogs that are socialized together (in the same household) I’m willing to discuss. For the safety of our pets, I do not accept any dogs with a bite history and I respectfully decline to use any punishment-based training (i.e. shock & prong collars). I do not accept unneutered male dogs over 18 months old. I also have medical experience from working with veterinarians and feel comfortable with administering medications and/or minor medical services. Thank you so much for your time! I’m more than happy to answer any questions. I’m a full time dog trainer and petcare specialist, my hours are flexible and I am able to accommodate last minute bookings from established clients. All people and dogs are treated with kindness and respect. I require a meet and greet with every dog prior to services because dogs are individuals and I want to know how to best set up your dog for success in my home. Depending on your dog, we can tailor the meet and greet to what would make them most comfortable. I strongly encourage you to bring toys, food, treats, and/or anything else your dog finds comfort in. Dogs also find comfort in having a routine so it's important to me that I keep your dog on the same schedule as they are at home.
