“Tori is absolutely fantastic! Our pup got so much love and exercise when she was taking care of her. She sent the best pics and updates so we knew our gal was in good hands ☺️”
“Jordan stepped up to the plate to help with later evening walks while I worked night shifts at the hospital. Communicated very nicely and was so nice to Scooby! Thanks Jordan!”
“Hannah was amazing with walking our little guy. She made time in her schedule to walk our sweet puppy around when normally not available. We were so appreciative of her doing that and our puppy benefited greatly as well! She has a caring heart for your pets and it shows by her sacrifice for us!”
“Rodrigo did a phenomenal job taking care of my dog Cash! He sent great pictures and a lot of them. It was also short notice and he still remained flexible. Couldn't have been more pleased with his services. Thank you for doing such a great job taking care of my old lil man.”
“I highly recommend Carlita for any of your dogs needs. She is not only the best dog mom to her Snow, but she will treat your dog as her own. My Zoe is small and aging and it’s not easy for me to find someone I trust with her care. With Carlita, I’m glad to have found someone I can leave Zoe with overnight or to come visit her when I’m away. She adheres to all of my Zoe’s special needs (pj’s at night are a must, her food must be warmed, and she has some medications) and ensures her comfort and safety. She plays with her, sends me photos, and makes me aware of any concerns she notices with Zoe in my absence. She is punctual and communicates clearly and timely. Your fur baby is in good hands with her.”
About: I was a dog mom to a precious pitbull for 10 years and since he passed I'm looking to spread that love to other babies in the area. I work full time but my evenings are mostly free. Ideal for working pet parents who need their babies taken care of in the evening and weekends. I respect everyone's wishes and desires for their pet family members. Love, care, and respect are the most important. My motto is to leave a person, being, or space better than I found it.
“Adreanna was absolutely amazing with our dog. She was very attentive and provided a detailed over view of everything that was going on, leaving us without any questions or worry. 12/10.”
“Trevor has been incredibly caring and loving to my puppy Leia, hes always been great, communicative and cared for her as well as I do. Would recommend trevor to anyone!”
“Nicole has been wonderful for my golden retriever. After starting a new position with early hours, I needed someone to walk our “stranger danger” pup! She’s been patient and loving with him. So thankful!”
About: I’ve helped neighbors with pet sitting and have always loved spending time with animals. I understand how important your pets are, and I’ll give them the same care and attention I’d give my own. I'm a barista at Starbucks and would love to unwind by going on dog walks and pet sitting for neighbors anytime I'm free before or after my working hours! I care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable and secure. I follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. I make sure they get plenty of attention, patience, and affection so they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. I’m also respectful of your home and keep everything clean and organized during my stay. My goal is to keep your pet happy, stress-free, and well cared for in a familiar environment you can trust.
About: Hey there! I’m Nikki, and the adorable doodle you see in the photos is, Bear… He is one loved pup and he certainly knows it (spoiled too)! Animals have always been one of my greatest passions. Growing up on a farm I was surrounded by many of all kinds. I’ve always been trusted with caring for family & friends pets, and Rover has been a great way to introduce Bear to some fur-friends of his own! I have experience working with puppies & those with a tad more energy than most, as well as caring for elderly pups who may require additional attention, including administering medication, vitamins, etc. During the work week, Bear and I go on walks in the morning and enjoy some much-loved playtime at the dog park located in our neighborhood. I work from the office Monday-Thursday and take an extended lunch break to allow time for a mid-day walk as well. In the evenings we typically do a longer walk around Lake Johnson, or head over to the big dog park at Lake Benson. We love being active outdoors! I tend to be a homebody on the weekends and the dogs in my care are rarely left alone, allowing for plenty of potty breaks and lots of extra love and attention! I have a large, open concept apartment, allowing the dogs full access to me at all times. There’s also a fenced in dog park located directly in our neighborhood... And a dog spa! When I do have to step out for a quick errand, I always ensure the pups are left alone in a safe environment, according to the needs of each dog (size, temperament, potty needs, etc.). My home is monitored by video cameras throughout the day to ensure the safety of the dogs in my care while I’m away at work.
About: I've taken care of pets, more specifically dogs since I got my dog, and have cared for my best friend ever since. Recently I also got an adorable stubborn little huge puppy that I have love taking care of. I'm currently working part-time so I will have plenty of time to take care of your best friends! I am more specifically available a lot during the day and evening! I will do everything I can do and am ask to do to make sure your pets are kept safe and have a fun time!
About: I've taken care of my family pets since I was 10 and continue to care for a beautiful and chatty cat. I strive to care for your pet with just as much love and attention as you would give your fur baby. I'm currently working from home with a lot of flexibility for time away and breaks when needed. I can be available most times during the weekend & have availability weekends as needed. I will treat your pets like they are my own: showering them with love and cuddles. I will be very attentive and ensure that any requirements you ask are followed through. I strive to make sure your pets feel comfortable and safe when you are away.
“Joan is very patient with my somewhat aggressive dog. She arrived on time everyday and was super sweet with Tiger. She really goes above and beyond to bond with Tiger. I am definitely booking with Joan in the future.”

Megan always does a wonderful job walking Cooper when I’m at work! She is very communicative and provides an update about each visit and photos from the walk and/or playtime. She goes above and beyond what is asked of her when needed - today, she arrived to find that Cooper had gotten into the trash and littered it all over the downstairs. Without complaint or me having to ask her, she cleaned all the trash up while I was gone and then let me know what had taken place. This is just another one of many reasons I would highly recommend Megan if you’re ever in need of her services!
