“Janet was amazing! She came through for me for a weekend walk and did a great job. She also provided the cutest pictures and such a thorough and thoughtful update! I will definitely use and trust Janet in the future. Thank you so much!”
2. Katherine C.
“I have been working with Katherine for a while now. She comes over to take my dog for a walk about 3 times a week and she is always on time, reliable, and sends me updates. I’m so glad I found her on this app because she has made leaving my dog home all day so much better knowing he is getting out of the house for a little exercise. Thank you Katherine!”

“The absolute best. Reliable, communicative, empathic, trustworthy—I could go on and on! My dog is leash reactive and it’s such a relief knowing he has someone who understands him and is willing to work with his individual needs. And his little tail doesn’t stop wagging from the moment he sees her car pull up!”

About: “I’ve been caring for dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes since I was 10 years old. Over the years, neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, and care for their pets as if they were my own. At just 11, I even started my own foster care program for both dogs and cats, which I ran for three amazing years before stepping away to focus on school. Now that I’ve finished my studies, I’m thrilled to get back to doing what I love most—caring for pets!” I’m currently working part-time I have plenty of time to spend with your pet! I’m very flexible and understanding and can adhere to almost anything you may need of me. I’m very good with animals and identifying aspects of the body language so I know what they are comfortable with and what they’re not comfortable with. I will assure your pet is meeting the exercise requirements that the owner expects, that your fit baby is fed on time and promptly with the amount indicated by the owner. I also assure to provide your pet with play time whether I’m pet sitting or just taking your dog on a walk!

13. Elandra W.
“Elandra is such an amazing pet person! She has taken care of my Rottweiler each time I am out of town. She allows my dog to stay over her house and she is willing to come to my house to check in on him. She always ensures my dog is kept on the directed feeding schedule and ensures she plays with him using his favorite toys. She will go to the pet store to get him any necessities and bathe him if needed. Elandra is always my go to person for when I need someone to take care of my fur baby when I am away, as she is always willing to going the extra mile.”
14. Gianna G.
“Gianna is a very responsible person and is a big animal lover. She is very smart and was amazing with my dog who loved her. She would be an amazing person to have as a caregiver for their dog.”
15. Dasha C.
“Dasha was awesome! She texted me updates throughout Wilma's walk/visit and even brought in our packages from our front porch. She followed all of the directions we left to a T, but most importantly she took great care of our dog and made her long day alone less lonely. We will definitely use her again. Wilma had a great time with Dasha!”
16. Sheran Nipun R.
“Sheran took exceptional care of our dog for 6 days. He was responsible, loving, and thoughtful, regularly updating us with pictures. We highly recommend him as a pet caregiver!”
17. Vicky S.
“Vicky has been taking care of my sick cat. She is experienced and very good at giving my cat his shots. She is very friendly and easy going and all my animals love her. Highly recommended!”
18. Lily G.
“Lily took care of our 4 cats several times over the last 4 years. I have known her for a little longer than that and find her to be completely committed to the animals in her charge. Lily has both stayed at our house and done drop in visits. She was absolutely reliable and sent me pictures and reports without prompting. Lily is also an upstanding person who studies hard and maintains strong humanistic values. I trust her completely with my house, my cats or my car if she needs. I should add that she is also deeply knowlegable of domestic pets and has unselfishly cared for and adopted several strays over the years. Given her studies at OSU, I look forward to seeing her as our vetinarian in the future!”

About: Heya!! So you might be wondering why I want to do this and if I have the experience to care for your beautiful furbabies- well, don’t you worry, because I do!! I have been an animal lover since the ripe age of 6; the year I got my first pet- a hamster. Six was also the age when I started feeding the neighborhood cats and sneaking them in when it rained. Before then, my family had 2 dogs and we always had fish. So though I was young, I got to learn a lot of responsibility when helping my grandparents take care of them. Fast forward over the years I have owned, sitted and or trained a variety a little critters, from the basic cat, dog, hamsters- to many exotic pets, such as rabbits, ferrets, squirrels, reptiles and birds. (Though there’s probably more). I recently lost two of my babies- Iysis (my dog) and Kovu (my rabbit); of course it’s left me with a big ole heart full of love for animals but, nothing to share pieces of it with. Unfortunately, I’m not allowed to have anymore pets where I live, but I still have so much love to give. I came to the conclusion; why not become a Dog Walker or Pet Sitter!! So here I am!! ☺️ I’m currently working full time (32hrs), which leaves me three days with nothing to do. Why not use that time to love on some animals. When caring for my own pets, I am ever watchful. I ALWAYS notice the most subtle of changes when it comes to my babies, so expect the same perception for your fur babies as well. Your pets safety and well-being is my top priority when they are in my care. All I can do is ask for your trust. I’m willing to take any precautions needed, in order to administer the highest amount of safety and protection for your furry family members n
