“Megan is awesome with our dogs. She's reliable and super flexible which works really well with our ever-changing schedule. We know our dogs love when she comes by for their walk which really puts us at ease when we leave them. Megan - thanks for being such a great friend to Albie and Wynn!”
About: I've had dogs of all sorts growing up - from small to giant breed dogs, from labradors to livestock guardians intent on guarding their house from every falling leaf. I've fostered dogs, successfully, and I am now caring for the foster fail permanently. From walks to games to basic care, taking care of dogs is my passion. I work from home with flexible hours, enabling me to accomadte your schedule, whether it's walks while you're away or busy grinding through your daily routine. I'm available any day of the week. I have a fenced yard, and two dogs at home. My pets generally get two walks a day and can play or sit outside enjoying the weather, especially the snow.
“She’s so great with Flash! I usually ask her to walk my pup last minute and she’s pretty flexible and usually available at some time the day I need her. She always brings treats and has doggie bags in case you forget or can’t fond yours. She’s excellent and super trust worthy! Plus Flash loves her!”
“My dog Cali loves Jackie and her daughter. She responded really quickly when I needed a new dog walker and was really easy to communicate with and quickly met for a meet and greet. Cali loves her weekly walks with Jackie!”
About: I've cared for pets my whole life, providing loving and caring companionship, daily walks, and a clean, safe environment—treating every furry friend like my family. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the love and care that they deserve. I provide attentive, loving care in your home, always respecting your space and routine to ensure your pet feels very safe, comfortable, and well-cared for.
About: I’m dependable, patient, and truly love animals. I take time to understand each pet’s personality and adjust my care to fit them. I’m comfortable caring for energetic puppies who need consistency and gentle guidance, as well as senior pets who require a slower pace, extra care, and close attention. I pride myself on being trustworthy, communicative, and making sure both pets and owners feel at ease I work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the day. I already love going on walks and enjoy spending time outdoors, so caring for pets fits perfectly into my daily routine. I also volunteer at animal shelters in my free time, which has strengthened my experience and comfort working with animals of all temperaments. Because I’m home most of the day, I’m able to give pets consistent attention, timely walks, playtime, and care without rushing. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all care instructions and keep a clean, calm, and secure environment in both my home and my client’s home. I’m attentive on walks, use secure leashes, and closely supervise pets at all times. I treat every pet with patience and every home with respect, and I always provide updates for peace of mind.
“Wow Jonathon is amazing! He takes my dog on a walk every morning during the week. It gives me peace of mind knowing he is in good hands with him. Outstanding knowledge and experience second to None! Thanks for the great work my friend.”
About: I have experience with dog walking, pet sitting ( cats included) & medication administration. Some training available. I love all animals. Rest assured your pet is in good hands. I am currently a home maker with a lot of availability to care for your fur babies. I have years of experience with dog walking and pet sitting. Allow me to care for your pets when you can not. Services at my home are not permitted at this time. Perhaps this can be something to look forward to in the future. I am available for dog walking, drop in visits, and house sitting. I’ll love your pet as much as you do.
“Lauren is awesome and our puppy loves her. Punctual, great communication, sends updates/pictures, walked our pup longer than the 30 mins we booked, which we and our pup can’t thank her enough for, and offered to clean our pup’s paws after a rainy walk!”
“Nicholas is a fantastic dog walker! He's trustworthy, flexible, friendly, consistent, and most importantly he's truly great with my little puppy. He takes great care of her and sends regular videos of them playing. I can tell they really enjoy their time together. I'd recommend him to anyone looking for a great dog walker!”
“Michael was great with my 3 dogs and keeping my foster dog separate and taking him for a nice walk. He even sent me a photo. The dogs seemed to really like him! We will definitely be hiring him again! Thank you, Michael!!”
“Anana was available last minute when I had an emergency trip and was a life saver! She was incredibly communicative, always kept us up to date with the walk card and pictures, and was wonderful for Tully while we were gone! We absolutely would recommend her for your pet car needs.”
“We’ve been lucky enough to have Arlene as our dog walker for the past year, and she’s truly even better than all the glowing reviews say! Our pup is the sweetest, but also pretty anxious, and Arlene understood her right from the start. We completely trust her with our dog’s safety and care, and she always keeps us in the loop with real-time updates. Plus, she shares thoughtful tips and suggestions that really make a difference. We are so grateful to have found her!”
About: I have had dogs in my life from a very young age and have worked in both a vet clinic and a boarding kennel doing both basic care and doggie daycare. I am familiar with many common ailments affecting dogs as well as specialized diets and administering medicine. I have also done basic grooming on dogs such as baths, brush outs and nail trims. As part of all this, I'm not easily grossed out by the smelly and messy things common to pet care. I firmly believe pets are a part of the family and deserve to be given just as much love and respect as people! I'm a fan of all sizes and breeds and would love to help care for your pet as if they were my own.
“Erin is absolutely incredible!!! We have two amazing pups, one who is a nervous, recent rescue. Our newer girl was struggling with a different walker, snapping and growling at each visit. Within minutes of meeting Erin, our little lady had clearly welcomed Erin into the fold. Erin is helping our girl to settle into life and gain more confidence with each walk! I would recommend Erin to anyone!!!!”
“Parisa is wonderful! My dog loves her and she has been consistent and ready for each of our interactions. She communicates quickly and I trust her with my best friend!”
About: I truly love dogs. I really enjoy walking dogs because they need it and love it! In the past, I've trained a puppy, a 2 year old and a 3 year old. All rescues. I'm currently training a 5 year old and an 8 year old dog. I've also cared for senior dogs. My dogs lived to be over 15 years old and 14 years old. I've recently retired and have a flexible schedule. Dog walking will be my main activity every day. I'm an early riser so morning walks aren't a problem. I have a fenced in yard and always stay outside with the dog. I also have parks and hiking paths within walking distance of my home.

I booked Tabbie to walk our doggies and she was a lifesaver these past couple of days. Tabbie was very responsive, prompt, courteous and on time. She even asked if I wanted to walk them longer which I appreciated that a lot. A tired dog is a good dog and they were nice and tired. I will definitely be using Tabbie for more dog walks!
An outstanding dog walker—reliable, caring, and truly professional. They consistently show up on time, communicate clearly, and treat my dog as if it were their own. Walks are well-structured, safe, and tailored to my dog’s needs, and I always feel confident knowing my pet is in capable hands. It’s clear they genuinely love animals and take pride in their work. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for dependable, high-quality pet care.

Kat is a patient and conscientious animal lover who sincerely cared about building a rapport with my pup - who, admittedly, has a bit of a stubborn streak, so she can be a handful! Still, she always looked forward to her walks and came back happily exhausted. Oh, and Kat takes the best photos of my pup!
Emily is an exceptional dog walker who really makes sure the dogs are getting their exercise and handles high energy, big dogs with ease. Rarely do walkers put as much effort into making sure my dogs go for a walk that actually gets their steps in—if you have high energy dogs who need time on their feet, Emily is going to ensure your dogs get the attention they need. She is highly communicative, punctual, and extraordinarily reliable.
