“Min took great care of my pups! I loved all of the videos that she sent and I could tell that my puppies loved her even though they only went on a few walks with her. She also messaged me every time she arrived at my place and every time she was leaving, she would send a video of her locking my door so that I knew that everything was secure. She was so great. I will definitely book her again!”
“Skylar was available at the last minute and took great care of Juice and Moose! They were so happy when we arrived home after a great day of walking in beautiful fall weather. Thanks so much for helping us today.”
About: I am a Licensed Veterinary Technician with 30 years experience caring for dogs, cats, pet birds, chickens, small mammals, reptiles, and other "non-traditional" pets. In addition to dogs and cats, my own pets have included rabbits, ferrets, box turtles, parrots, finches, and even a Texas spiny lizard! Do you have a senior dog or cat that needs some extra care and attention during the day? Or a special needs pet that has unique medical needs the average person may not be prepared to handle? Or how about a new puppy that needs mid-day potty breaks while you are at work, and could also use a few extra minutes of training to learn good habits? As a Fear Free Certified Professional, I only use reward-based training methods so your pet will look forward to my visits! I currently work full-time from home. My work schedule is unique which gives me the opportunity to provide mid-day walks and drop-in visits, as well as evening check-ins. I value the trust you place in someone to care for your furry, feathered, or scaled family member in the same manner that you would. I have dedicated my life to caring for and providing medical care for other people's pets, and will look after your pets as if they were my own!
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and currently care for two cats of my own. I also help care for my sister’s dog, including walks, feeding, and playtime. I’m comfortable with all aspects of both cat and dog care — from litter box cleaning and giving space to shy cats, to energetic walks and belly rubs for friendly pups. I know that every pet is unique, and I always adapt my care to match their personality, energy level, and needs. Whether it’s a quick drop-in visit or extended care, I make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m happy to keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine. I work night shifts, which leaves my mornings and afternoons wide open to focus on caring for pets. Since I’m already used to caring for my own cats and walking dogs, pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my day. I care for every pet and home with the same level of attention and respect I’d give my own. When working in a client’s home, I follow all care instructions closely — whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or administering medications. I always make sure pets are secure and comfortable. I never leave pets unattended in unsafe situations, and I keep walks safe by staying alert, avoiding crowded areas, and using a leash at all times. I know it takes trust to let someone into your home and care for your pets, so I’m big on communication and will always keep you updated with messages and photos. My goal is to help your pet feel relaxed and cared for while you’re away — and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands.
“We had Megan come in the morning for a walk and in the evening for a check-in. This is the fourth time we have used Megan. We have always been happy with how she handles Finley Magee. We highly recommend Megan, and we will continue to have Megan watch Finley. This was the longest we spent time away from Finley Magee. It was hard for us to leave your 4-legged baby and I know it would be hard for our pup too. Megan put us at ease with her detailed progress reports during each visit. Megan’s knowledge, flexibility, compassion, and patience is incredible. By day 3, Finley was jumping around and excited to see Megan. We are very fortunate to have Megan help us with Finely Magee!”
“Our doggie (and us) love Ashley! She is very responsive and so good with our dog! She goes the extra mile for your pet and has a caring heart!! I love all the pictures she sends us of our pup! What a find for our little family! Thank you!”

About: What sets me apart is the trust and consistency I’ve built over the past two years caring for family dogs.

I’m organized and reliable, and I make sure to prioritize time with pets in a way that fits consistently into my weekly routine. Since I offer dog walking only, I focus on giving each dog a safe, fun, and engaging walk. I follow any specific instructions provided by the owner like leash preferences, walking routes, or special needs. I always make sure dogs stay hydrated, avoid hazards, and get the right amount of exercise for their age and energy level. I treat every dog with care and patience, just like I would my own.

Marisa is a thoughtful and caring sitter for my special needs dog, Helen. Marisa has top-notch communication, is prompt, and reliable. I am mpressed with her professionalism and commitment to go the extra mile with thorough updates. I trust her wholeheartedly to care for my deaf dog.
Nicole was amazing with my 4 yr old dog Rosie. I'm so glad to have found her. Rosie is 80 lbs and can be nervous around other dogs so I was a little anxious about letting someone else walk her. I had nothing to fear, Nicole had a calm and capable approach and Rosie took to her easily! I'll definitely be booking with her again for both Rosie and my cats!
