“Brianna is a great dog walker!! She is very quick to respond to messages and took the lead organizating the meet and greet. She was available on pretty short notice, which was such a relief. Brianna was immediately comfortable with my 150lb dog, which means she is comfortable with any dog! She is a great dog walker and I will be using her regularly!”
“Joanna is the definition of going above and beyond. She’s been working on my dog’s recall, takes her on lovely long walks, and I’ve saved so many of the pictures she takes. She goes so far as to refill my treat jar at my house when she sees that it’s empty and makes sure my girl has water and a treat before she leaves. I work long hours and travel a lot. I have no idea how I’d manage without her!”
“Alex is the BEST! We use him weekly to walk our pup and can tell she is so comfortable with him! He is respectful and flexible which I very much appreciate as a working mom! Thank you for all you do Alex!!”
“Samuel walked Storm during a very cold and rainy week! He was responsive about booking and followed up on things like providing additional food in the afternoon.”
“Tiana is amazing!!! We booked her over our vacation and she got there everyday on time and took lots of pics of Archie. So sweet and kind! Will definitely book her again soon!! Your pet is in safe hands with her”
“Kelli has been a wonderful addition to our days. She is incredibly responsive, attentive and caring for the dogs, and the dogs are completely exhausted after, as I want, when they return. She has always given a great report card and some adorable photos. I hope to have her walking my girls for a long time.”
About: What sets me apart is my calm and patient nature, which helps pets feel safe and comfortable—especially shy or moody cats. I have hands-on experience training puppies and big dogs, focusing on positive reinforcement and consistency to build good habits. I’m also skilled in senior pet care, understanding the extra attention and gentleness older pets need. Plus, my flexible schedule and ability to quickly get around the city means I’m reliable for last-minute requests and varied needs. Because I create my own schedule, pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine. This flexibility lets me be available whenever your pets need attention—whether it’s morning walks, evening playtime, or weekend visits. It also means I can take last-minute requests without disrupting my day, so your pets get consistent, reliable care that works around your life and mine. I take pet safety and cleanliness very seriously, whether your pet is in my home or yours. My living space is in a gated community with two nearby dog parks, so your dog can enjoy safe, off-leash playtime in a secure environment. My apartment features a covered balcony with no gaps, perfect for supervised outdoor time without any risk. Inside, I keep things comfortable and cozy with soft carpet, cushioned padding, and plenty of pillows and toys—especially for those who need extra support. Cleanliness is a top priority—I use a steam vacuum regularly, so messes are never a big worry and the space stays fresh and sanitary. You can trust that your pet will be cared for in a safe, comfortable, and clean environment.
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life and absolutely love caring for them! I have personal experience owning both dogs and cats, and I’ve also provided in-home pet care for both drop-ins and overnight stays. I have a car, so I’m happy to take a trip to the dog park or explore new areas for a walk! Whether it’s checking in, going for walks, or just giving some extra love and attention, I treat every pet like they’re my own. Animals bring me so much joy, and I’m committed to making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I work from home and have flexibility to go for short walks during the day. I can also stay overnight during weekdays and potentially weekends as I can work from anywhere. In the morning and evenings I can take longer walks. I am committed to making sure you are stress-free when it comes to pet care, so I will update you with photos, videos, and messages every time I take care of your furry friend! I’m happy to send as many updates as will make you comfortable!
“Zach has been great with our two pups. Our dogs look forward to their walks with Zach. He always makes sure to communicate with us and we recommend booking with him!”
About: I’ve loved caring for animals for as long as I can remember. From dogs and hamsters to turtles, I’ve gained hands-on experience with a variety of pets throughout my life. Caring for animals has allowed me to build strong relationships and trust with family, friends, and neighbors who rely on me to look after their beloved companions. As I’ve grown older, my love for every living creature has only deepened, and that passion shines through in the care I provide. My goal is to create a safe, fun, and loving environment where your pet feels comfortable and happy while you are away! I am a recent graduate from Virginia Commonwealth University! Though I am looking for fellowships, I would love to spend time caring for any pets that need some quality time and attention. I drive a small fiat, and will arrive and enter property per specific pet instructions! I will always make sure to keep a cleanly space and leave everything as it was, while also guaranteeing your loved one is set up before my departure.
“Claudia is excellent! She has been a wonderful dog walker. She sends pictures and updates with every walk and I can tell the the dogs have really taken to her. She is also always responsive via text and extremely flexible! We’ll continue to use her indefinitely.”
“Heather has walked our dog Arlo about a dozen times in all kinds of weather. She is terrific! She is so kind to Arlo and so very careful about cleanliness. Arlo loves her and is always very excited to see her. She has also given us some good tips about how to get Arlo to better behaved. We are so glad to have found Heather. What a sweet and thoughtful person!”
About: I grew up with dogs and cats in the home. I love being the dogs and cats best friend. While I am not the best discipliner. I can ensure your best friend has a great time while they wait for your return. I am in a flexible job. I only need to go into the office twice a week but I can adjust the days as needed so my availability is pretty consistent. I will care for them as if they were my own. I do have a crate that I can set up in case they need a den like atmosphere. My apartment has a small dog park I can take them to if they get along with other pups. I live in a dog friendly apartment complex with plenty of dogs around. We would also go for some walks and watch some TV on the couch.
“David was our Rock Star this week. At 7am Monday morning all seemed like it was going to be a great week. Then it was 7:01am and it turned into a roller coaster week. Obviously David likes roller casters because he was responsive to our cries for help! Big time thanks again! We super appreciate you're ability and flexibility to help support our insane schedules!”

I love Veronica!!!! I have an upcoming extended trip at the end of the month. I have talked with Veronica about the trip and shared that I always feel very anxious whenever I have to leave Crosby for an extended period time. Veronica has been SO calm, patient, understanding and flexible. She has done everything possible to put my mind and my nerves at ease. Today, Veronica went above and beyond on her visit and walk with Crosby. I’m so relieved and grateful to have connected with Veronica !! She’s AMAZING!!!! ❤️❤️ Thank you, Veronica!!!
Max was great. Went above and beyond both days we used his services. Day One went a little awry with one of our dogs getting injured (through no fault of Max's!) And he communicated immediately and even waited with our dogs until we were able to make it home even though he didn't have to. Would highly recommend Max and would use him again in the future.
I don't even know where to begin, but Jackie has been such an absolute BLESSING during a very tumultuous time where I have not been able to walk my dog, Sadie, due to having leg surgery and needing someone short notice. Never would I have thought that I would find my dog's godmother, but HERE WE ARE! Jackie is incredible with Sadie and Sadie is IN LOVE with Jackie. I used to work in vets myself and can feel Jackie's empathetic and beautiful nature when it comes to pets, and even my little demon hobbit cat loves her too and he is hard to please. Jackie is also aware of any inconsistencies with Sadie's behavior, potty breaks and has even checked for ticks as the spring gets nuts with those terrible creatures. We are going to be so sad that she won't be coming 3 times a day anymore, but Jackie has become an actual friend and Sadie and I plan to have visits. There is no way Sadie cannot be in Jackie's life and Jackie has expressed the same. We seriously love her so much and will still book with her when needed in the future. You could not be in better hands than with Jackie and I have trust issues lol. She is the VERY BEST <3
Rachel was flexible and communicative. Sirena loved her from the second she met her which means a lot to us since she’s a nervous girl. She was sure to communicate all the things Sirena had done with her as well as asked questions if anything came up. We definitely recommend her and will use her again :) thank you Rachel !
Fantastic experience with Alex on Rover! Alex was extremely responsive when we needed care within 24 hours and made the entire process stress-free. Great communication, lots of updates/photos, and our dog was clearly well cared for and happy. Would absolutely book again!
