“First walk with our boy Ziggy and she was great. On time, took him out to the dog park, he came back tired. All you can ask for! Super nice and asked all the right questions. We felt very comfortable with her.”


“Caroline was outstanding! She was always prompt, and provided details of my girls even when they were challenging. Would totally recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable dog walker. Looking forward to hiring again in the future.”


“Anna is the best. My dog, Mister Snitzel, trusted her immediately and loves his time spent with her walking on the sidewalks, in the dog park, anywhere! He gets wildly excited when Anna comes to take him out for another adventure.”


“Sofia has been excellent to work with! She’s been a very responsive, kind, professional dog walker. We’ve appreciated her consistent communication and updates. Highly recommend!”


“Daria did a great job walking my somewhat temperamental dog. She was very reliable and he was excited to see her every day. I would be very happy using her again. Highly recommend!”


About: I am very attentive, responsible, and respectful. I have 3 dogs of my own who I love dearly. I have grown up with dogs and cats my entire life and have tons of hands on experience. I have handled one of my dogs giving birth and raised those puppies up until they found their homes. I have extensive medical training and handle pressure very well. I love dogs and love talking them on walks, excursions or simple hanging out at home and giving them love. I’m currently very available and flexible for whatever my clients schedules need. Im doing a remote internship which leaves me very open and flexible to hangout with you pets whenever suits you. At your home, I am very able bodied and can handle any dog you have. I can take them on walks, runs, hangout on the couch and just cater to whatever you and your pet need in the comfort of your home. At my home, I have a great fenced in yard that keeps your fur baby safe and happy. There’s 3 doggies to keep them company too! A Irish setter who is playful and happy, a rescue mutt mix who’s very old and gentle, and a mini Aussie doodle who keeps to herself.

“Sara was great with my 2.5 year old active dog and new puppy Oscar (6 months). She walked them together and took them to the nearby park. Sara has been very communicative and dependable. In the past she worked from my house to spend a little more time with the new puppy!”


“Nicole took so much time with us to learn about Levi in preparation for our upcoming petsit. She was thoughtful and asked great questions! I feel like this will be an amazing fit.”


“Elizabeth was wonderful with our Maltese who can be very shy with strangers. The two bonded right away! She was very good about communicating arrival times and was very reliable. Very happy to have found Elizabeth. We will be using her again for sure!”


About: I have two years of hands on experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages and temperaments. On top of that, I previously worked in nursing homes, where I cared for elderly residents. This has given me a deep sense of patience, responsibility, and empathy, which I bring into every pet sitting job. Whether it’s giving extra TLC to a senior pup, following specific care routines, or just being a calming, loving presence, I treat every pet like family. I’m reliable, observant, and always ready to go the extra mile to keep your furry friend happy, healthy, and safe. I currently work a flexible part time job from home, which means I have plenty of availability to give your pet the attention they deserve! Whether it’s daytime walks or drop in visits I’m able to adjust my schedule to meet you and your pet’s needs. I’m also available on weekends and for last minute bookings, so you can count on me whenever something comes up. I'm here to make sure they're happy, comfortable, and never feel alone. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and fun environment where they feel loved and comfortable. I always follow the pet parent's instructions closely whether that means sticking to feeding schedules, administering medications, or keeping up with favorite routines and toys. I treat each home with respect and make sure your pet feels secure in their familiar surroundings. I also keep communication open with regular updates and photos, so you always know how your furry friend is doing while you’re away.

About: I have had dogs since I was young and have taken care of and pet sat for neighbors multiple times. I have experience with senior dogs and puppies, and am willing and able to work on skills and training such as potty training and basic commands. Currently have an internship where I’m required to go in on Wednesdays so I’m unavailable that day. On weekdays however I’d be more than happy to go check in and play with any animals during the day! I'm also a morning person so I'm happy to wake up early and check on any furry friends before work I've worked in shelters with volatile dogs before so I have been taught the best ways to approach nervous and anxious animals. I would never put (or want to put) a dog in a situataion which they feel uncomfortable or constricted. I make sure to abide by this by being responsive of the dogs body language and general behavior

“Sam is very patient in walking our energetic aussie doodle. He is always on time and gives us advance notice if a slight change in schedule is necessary. Very pleasant to work with. Looking forward to using his services again when the need arises.”
