“Alyssa was the absolute best! We were oceans away and she made our day with all the pictures and updates of our Clarky boy. He looked forward to her visit everyday and really helped get the energy out of our big guy! Highly recommend - plus she is an absolute sweetheart”


“Alexandra is a wonderful dog walker and highly recommended! She did an amazing job getting to know our new rescue (who is shy around new people) and made sure she got a nice walk and some socialization every day while we are at work. Thank you, Alexandra!”


“Julie was great with my elderly dog! She was kind and personable and always cheerful! I appreciated her taking such good care of Rogue and walking her in treacherous conditions like ice and snow! I’d definitely recommend her and use her services again :)”


“Excellent immediate communication always. Two days 1.5 hrs late out of 9 days but otherwise on time. I did not see Quazaye with my dog when she was walking him but could tell he was missing her when time ended. Always sent pics, consistent. Would use again! Thank you for your service.”


About: Hi there! Animals are my true love. I’ve had animals my entire life. My rescue animals taught me how to be a mom and have changed my life. I have two cattle dog mixed breeds and two domestic cats. Previously, I worked for Central Bark as a dog handler and weekend caretaker. I previously had a dog with diabetes and am experienced with administering injection and oral medications. I like to stay healthy and fit. Let me be your dog’s work out buddy! When I’m not adventuring with my fur babies/sons, I’m working fully remote for a law firm. Since I work from home, I have flexibility to offer morning/lunch/evening walks or drop-ins. Your dog/cats will be greeted with a warm, friendly voice and lots of cuddles. After the meet n greet we get to business with the walk followed by some play and more cuddles.

“Jackie did a great job for us! We had several changes to the schedule which she was more than happy to acommodate. We so appreciated her flexibility and willingness to roll with the changes. Would definitely request her anytime we need it. Thank you Jackie!”


About: As a little kid, I grew up with a dog and then got two dogs of my own as an adult. I raised all my dogs from puppies all the way through to end of life. I have dog sat for family and friends as well so I have experience with many breeds and conditions of care. I am currently available most weekends for whatever your fur babies need and I have some flexibility with my schedule during the week so I may be able to help out! I have a large (unfenced) yard for dogs to play in. I have a crate if needed. I have a walking path nearby to take long walks.

About: I’ve helped my parents house-sit dogs since around 10 years old. Moving out I continued to care for my friends' fur babies, showering them with the love and care they deserve. I’m looking to reach out more and meet new fur babies and help out more people because as a dog mom myself, I understand life can get busy! And just as I have my own fur baby in mind, I understand wanting the best care for them and a peace of mind while away which I aim to provide. I’m a teacher so I am still able to help out but I am at work from 7-4pm and 5pm on Thursdays, so please keep that in mind if your fur baby would need someone to check in on them in the middle of the day (but I’m willing to talk about it and came up with a possible game plan). As a dog mom myself, I treat all animals the way I’d want someone to treat my dog. I treat each pet as if they’re my own, keeping the owners in mind and respecting the wishes of the owners. Being in someone else’s home I am a very conscious and cautious person to ensure the safety and well-being of your pet as well as your property.

About: I was a dog walker in high school and I recently cared for a friend’s family member’s dog and throughly enjoyed it! I love taking walks and your dog will get lots of exercise at my house. I work full time as a teacher, but would love to care for dogs on the weekends and holidays when I am home all day. I love dogs and would be sure to give your pet lots of love and exercise. I have a large yard and will take your dog out on a leash to go to the bathroom. I will also take your dog on walks in our neighborhood.

“I have never trusted a stranger to walk my dogs so I’m very happy things went well with Elizabeth! It’s great knowing I can trust her when I need a walker again in the future. Elizabeth is very nice and I highly recommend her to anyone who needs a trustworthy person to walk their dog.”


About: With a deep-rooted passion for dogs spanning decades, I bring extensive expertise in canine companionship from puppyhood through senior years. My approach is deeply personal and attentive, recognizing that pets are not just animals, but cherished family members. I pride myself on providing individualized care that honors each pet's unique needs and their owner's specific guidelines. My commitment goes beyond routine care—I treat every dog with the same love, respect, and careful attention I would give to my own beloved pets. Whether nurturing an energetic puppy or supporting a senior dog through their golden years, I ensure comfort, safety, and emotional well-being. My years of hands-on experience have taught me to be responsive, intuitive, and deeply compassionate in pet care. Clients can trust that their furry family members will receive nothing less than dedicated, personalized attention, with every detail carefully considered and every need thoughtfully met. I am at home most days and I always keep my availability calendar up to date. I look forward to helping with your pets at any time I am able to. Upon first meeting your pet, I have a detailed list of questions and follow your instructions meticulously. I will provide as many updates and pictures as you like. I understand that leaving your pet with someone can be difficult and for the entire time I am caring for your pet, I want you to know that your pet is happy and is in loving hands. I live in a pet-friendly apartment complex. I have a good-size two-bedroom apartment with easy access to take your dog outside whenever needed. The complex has an fully enclosed dog park, several open fields, and walking paths. There is also a doggie bath station available. If invited to your home, I will treat everything with respect. I recognize that it is your home and that your pet is most comfortable in that space. I will do everything to make sure everything is as you left it.

From baby cows to big pups, I’ve done it all—and I treat every animal like family. At home, I have a pet dwarf hamster and a jumping spider! I’m no stranger to animals of all kinds, from scaly to hairy to hairless. Big or small, they don’t scare me. I have off every Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays.

Joshua P.
“Josh is the best pet caregiver I have known. He immediately takes to any animal I’ve seen him interact with, and most importantly, they immediately take to him. He has helped me unconditionally in caring for my cat and dog while I’m away, has helped with vet visits and other travel, and treats them as his own. They love to spend time with him. He recently lost his beloved dog of 17 years. My heart breaks for his continued grief for her, & I know he will greatly benefit from connecting with other pets. Any pet owner would be lucky to have their pets cared for by him as he is trustworthy, diligent and incredibly intuitive. His positive energy radiates consistently from him, & he is who these sweet animals need in their lives.”
