Chandra was super nice and took on a last minute dog walk request; she also put in some extra time to make sure they had a chance to do their business. Highly recommend working with her!

We were very impressed with Emily's excellent communication. Shackleton had a wonderful time with her and she was fanatic at managing a large and opinionated doggo! We highly recommend Emily for dog walking and will definitely request her in the future when we need a walker.

Camille was responsive in communication, arrived promptly, flexible with times when needed, and Sassa loved walking with her. I'm very grateful for her support in caring for my dog.

Audrey looks out for the details when caring for our dogs. Amid freezing weather, we forgot to leave out the dog’s winter jackets, but she knew where they were in the garage and added them for the walk.

About: I've had dogs in my life since I was 8 and all my dogs have shown great love towards me because I give them the full love back. I am known in the family as the family caretaker when our dogs get old and need special attention. The reason I take care of my dogs when they get older because I have the patience, attentions, and most of all, love in supporting them through their elderly stage. All pets deserve the best and I am more than happy to provide that! I am currently taking the year off from work to travel the world but in between my trips I have a lot of free time and feel it can be better spent taking care of pets while other people can enjoy trips or another activity that requires them to leave their pet at home. I have a 5-year old Havanese and I take him on walks daily, I make sure he is bathe at least once a month, and try to take him on as many trips so I can, so he can enjoy the world as much I as I do.

About: Hello! I am lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for both cats and dogs. I grew up with multiple cats and currently have my own very loved + spoiled cat at home! I regularly dog walk and pet sit for my fellow nursing coworkers. This includes walks, some overnight visits, feeding, playtime, and lots of cuddles! Animals truly bring me joy, and I'll care for your pets like they're my own :) I currently work full time at the hospital but start at 11am and end at 730pm. I am happy to swing by in the mornings and after work! I also have every Wednesday, Thursday, and every other weekend off. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I will always respect your pets routine, boundaries, and do whatever they need to help them feel safe and happy while you are away! I am happy to provide walks, drop in visits, or overnight stays. While I am unable to host pets in my own home because of my cat, I am very comfortable caring for your pets in their environment where they can feel the most comfortable and safe!

Lizz saved the day for us! We had a family emergency come up and had to leave town last minute. Lizz was able to cover all the walks in our absence. She gave us great feedback and won over our shy pup. Highly recommend.

Took off on a hiking trip for a few days and couldn't bring my dog. Hired Hope to drop in on him, take him for walks and feed him while I was gone. She did a great job! Sent me updates along the way and gave me peace of mind. My Lil dude seemed in high spirits when I got back. Would totally recommend Hope anytime and would definitely use her as sitter in the future.

Lindsay clearly has a lot of experience, and always shows up on time and super professional. She has been flexible and understanding with Osos leash reactivity, as well as walking on fairly short notice. Definitely recommend her for anyone, especially if your dog needs special accommodations.

I communicate clearly with pet parents and adjust my care to match each fur baby's personality. Trust and confidentiality are my priorities. Flexible schedule! I am currently between employment commitments while I assist family members with life changes. I am organized and reliable and can accommodate regular visits as well as short-notice needs.

Our new-to-us 12 1/2 year old Havanese rescue did very well with Michael’s care during our first afternoon outing since we adopted him. We have already scheduled another longer stay next month. We really appreciate all the dog friendly security and thoughtful enrichment activities Michael provides. Charlie was the better for the experience! Highly recommended.
