“I am very please with Ethan. We are new to the area and as such was a big transition for my dog. Ethan was very willing to accommodate her needs. He Is willing to work with and reinforce behavior training while walking. I am super grateful to have discovered such an nice and accommodating young man.”
“Holly is super helpful and nice! She was patient with our stubborn boy and flexible to meet his needs. She was also able to help us a little last minute so very grateful to her prompt and professional response. Rolo adored her”
“So glad Anne could help out with my dogs! They have a hard time being alone for too long, and having her walk them and spend time with them was wonderful. Definitely recommend her!”
“Sarah was fantastic with our pup!! Looking forward to having her help with walking our boy in the future! We’re happy to recommend her for any and all dog walking needs!”
“Jerry is amazing! We were really nervous to bring a new face around to care for our 2 big dogs. Like so many of us, our dogs have also been affected by the absence of dog parks/solitude of Covid. But Jerry settled our fears right away, and it was apparent that he knew exactly how to “speak” to our “de-socialized” teenager dogs. Jerry is so patient and kind with our wild furry friends, while also helping them become better community members. He has formed a true friendship with them and we all completely adore Jerry! He can always be relied upon to show up with a smile - we always look forward to seeing Jerry!”
“So so grateful for Rebecca! Takes such good care of Gator while I’m at work, making sure he gets everything he needs during her visits with him. Would absolutely recommend !”
“Lelia is dependable and a great communicator. I had a hiccup with logistics and timing however she was flexible and accommodating and spent extra time with Spanky. Spanky is a shy boy and will not usually walk out of the house with a stranger, unless he is on leash. He liked Lelia enough to for a walk without being coaxed outside on his leash! I will definitely book Lelia again!”
“You couldn't find a better person to entrust your four-legged! She is kind-hearted, a natural animal person, and our blind dog, Bailey, adapted to her immediately. She's so considerate and had a relaxed affinity for our doggo, and I will return to her again and again! Thanks Erin!!!!”
About: Hello! I have owned dogs for the past 10 years, and have been dog sitting for 5 years. My goal is to keep them happy and healthy. I will treat every dog in my care like my own. Hello! I have a collie mix named Sadie who has taught me a lot as a dog owner. I love all pets especially dogs, and it is a joy to see a smile on a dog’s face. I treat every dog in my care like my own in that I believe their physical and mental health is important to a happy dog. It can be a little stressful for a dog to be in a new environment with a new person, so I like to keep their routine the best I can.
“My dog Oliver loved Maria as soon as he met her. So she must have a special gift for connecting to furry friends. I’m so thankful that she is available for his daily walks. Maria is reliable, communicative, and so positive - just really awesome.”

“Erica has been walking our pups for almost a year. She has always been available, always been punctual, and has always been a great communicator. Our dogs love her and are always excited to see her.

Thank-you for always taking such good care of our pups!”
About: While I’m new to professional pet sitting, I’ve been a dedicated pet parent for years. Caring for my own pets has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and unconditional love. I understand how much your furry family members mean to you, and I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I give my own. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, walks, or just keeping them company, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away I maintain a consistently open schedule and am always available to provide support, collaborate, or communicate as needed. Reliability and responsiveness are always my priorities. I do have 2 children, a 11 year old and a 7 year old. If requesting house sitting they will need to stay with me. In clients’ homes, I provide personalized, attentive care for animals, ensuring they feel safe and loved in their familiar environment. My routines include feeding according to dietary needs, administering medications if required, refreshing water bowls regularly, and maintaining a clean living space. I also offer enrichment through playtime, walks, and gentle companionship tailored to each pet’s temperament. I monitor behavior and health closely, communicating any concerns to the owner promptly. My goal is to create a stress-free experience for both pets and their people.
About: I’ve been pet sitting for about 6 years and have raised three dogs of my own, so caring for dogs is truly second nature to me! I’ve worked with all kinds of personalities, reactive dogs, shy or nervous pups, and super energetic dogs, and I always take the time to meet them where they’re at! I’m very patient and pay close attention to body language and behavior, which helps me build trust, especially with dogs who need a little extra reassurance or structure! I stick closely to routines, make sure dogs get the right amount of exercise and mental stimulation, and keep things calm and positive! What really sets me apart is how much I genuinely care! I treat every pet like they’re my own and want both pets and their owners to feel comfortable and confident! I also make sure to send regular updates and photos, so you always know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for! I work part-time, so pet care fits really naturally into my routine. I’m mostly available on Fridays and weekends, which means I have plenty of time to give pets my full attention without feeling rushed! I always put pets’ safety and comfort first. On dog walks, I use secure leashes and harnesses, pay close attention to my surroundings, and go at a pace that’s comfortable for each dog. I’m careful around other dogs, traffic, and anything that might stress them out! For drop-in visits, I make sure pets feel relaxed and happy in their own home. I follow your instructions for feeding, potty breaks, playtime, or medications, and I keep routines consistent so pets feel safe and comfortable. I also send updates and photos so you know your furry friends are doing well! I treat every home and pet like they’re my own, and I make sure both feel respected and cared for!
“Jennifer walked my dog for several weeks while I was recovering from injuries and unable to leave the house. She was dependable, reliable, pleasant, and a good communicator. My dog loved her. Highly recommend!”
“Katherine was great. Very kind with Reba, and Reba just loved her. Katgerine took time out of her day to come meet Reba the day before to make sure she was a good fit, that's a good walker!!”
“If you’re looking for someone to walk or take care of your dog, I can’t recommend Megan enough! She’s reliable, communicative, and takes such good care of my senior pup!”

Hi highly recommend Jennifer. She is easy to communicate with, punctual, professional and great with the pups. She came to walk my dogs while I was traveling as they were being cared for by my father who is unable to give them the walks they need. I would definitely contact her again.
Janeth responded quickly to messages and made extra efforts to help ensure her first meeting with my dog went well. I had several specific requests for my dog's walk with her which she agreed to. Janeth seems to genuinely like dogs, and my shy mini goldendoodle appeared to feel comfortable with her quickly. Will be planning to work with Janeth again in the future.
