“Erica is a new walker for my 6 y.o. Cane Corso mix, Rylee. Rylee has had several past owners and Erica is gentle and kind with her, letting Rylee set the pace of getting to know each other. With Erica's background in pet ownership as well as rescue work, I am confident in her taking Rylee for walks and Rylee is getting quality time and maximum effort during those times. Highly recommend.”
“Great first experience. Nicholas was prompt, friendly and understanding. Roxxie was happy to see him and had a good walk. We will definitely be a return customer.”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover who has had pets in my home since I was a baby. I currently share my home with two beloved cats and have experience as a foster mom for cats in need. I also have extensive experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities—from playful puppies to gentle seniors. In addition to my pet care background, I work in public health and hold a Master of Public Health (MPH), which means I bring a high level of responsibility, reliability, and attention to detail to everything I do. I’m comfortable with shy, energetic, and special-needs pets, and I know how to make every animal feel safe, happy, and loved. Whether it’s playtime, cuddle time, walks, or simply being a calm and caring presence, I tailor my care to each pet’s unique personality and needs. I work full-time but only go into the office twice a week, so I can cater my schedule to your pet’s needs. I’m flexible before and after work, as well as on weekends. I ensure a safe, loving, and attentive environment for all of my check-ins and walks! Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness is my priority. :)
“Mae is so good with our energetic Aussiedoodle puppy! They handle our puppy really well and document their trips in detail, which puts us to ease when we’re away from him. We look forward to continuing to use Mae’s services!”
“Kate walked my dog twice now. She seems very kind. She was on time, followed my direction, understood my dog’s needs and gave me update after walks. Also respected my apartment, left no mess. So nice to have a responsible and caring person for my dog. So yes, I would ask her to take care of my dog again.”
About: I’m very compassionate and patient, especially senior pets! I’m ok with giving pets medicine if required! I m missing having my own! Happy to help! I mostly work remotely and will be available for lunchtime walks or after work! Also available on weekends! I’m also available early mornings if needed! I could only provide services in client’s home, due to no pets in my building are allowed! I will take directions from client for good care!
“Lauren took great care of my dog Leo and even spent extra time playing with him over what I had booked her for his walk. She communicated very quickly to my initial request and was very communicative throughout their walk. Highly recommend.”
About: Growing up, I have always been around animals. In the past I have cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters and even turtles!. I also have experience caring for bigger sized dogs as well. The bigger they are, the more to love I always say! This past year I lost one of my own fur babies. I believe pets are like family. They should be cared for, respected, cherished and loved! I am extremely easy to work with! I have a hybrid work schedule alternating my days each week, which means I am extremely flexible. I am willing and will try my best to work around my schedule to best accommodate your needs. It is important for me to be aware on how you would like for me to care for your pet at home. If there is any daily routines or dietary needs your pet is accustomed to I would love to know. My regular job allows me to be extremely flexible! I am more than willing to work with what best accommodates your needs! I am very easy to work with! Also, I do not mind discussing payment rates- I understand situations occur and I am more than willing to discuss and come to an agreement! I have a spacious apartment that does allow cats (home boarding care). If I were to care for your pet in your home I would respect your home fully! My schedule allows me to work from home, which is a huge benefit. If there is any concerns you may have I am more than willing to meet in person or speak on the phone/text!

Faye E.
“Faye loves animals, especially dogs. A couple of years ago, due to the sudden death of a friend, I happily inherited two dogs , King Charles (16) and a mixed Yorkie (4). Faye helped me through those first few months, nurturing me and the girls. When I needed to travel for a month, Faye lived at my home and provided love, nutrition, and exercise for the girls. Vilda and Lucille love Faye. Vilda passed away a year ago. Lucille, no matter how much time passes between visits, is always super excited to see Faye. Faye is honest, responsible, and treats people and animals with dignity and respect.”
