“Jonathan is fantastic with my giant baby. A dog Amadeus's size can be intimidating for some, but Jonathan had no problem handling him. The last few times when he came to the door, Amadeus goes bounding to him for his walk! I highly recommend him!”
“Carolina is ALWAYS an excellent caretaker of my pets. She took care of my Milo, who, unfortunately, had to say goodbye to us earlier this year. Now she is navigating the ways of Ms. Moxie, my 8 year old Maltese, who she managed to win over on the first visit! Thank you Carolina!!!”
“Annie is the best! She takes amazing care of Snowy. I know he is always in good hands. Annie takes time to walk him and pays attention to his needs. And to top it all off- she leaves the most detailed, funny, and heartwarming notes. They make my day!”
“I am so at peace and grateful that Steve was available to look after Booboo! Steve is prompt with communication and updates. Your fur babies are in stellar care with Steve!”

He easily gets along with other dogs. Am walk, after noon walk and evening walk. We will take your pup out for walks often and the dog park, with your permission of course. Smoke free and cat free home. Safety is my number 1 priority. We live on a mountain and go for long walks. I have cared for the dogs in my neighborhood for 12 years and have references.

I work full time, but work from home two days a week and am available on weekends! I am very communicative and responsive, and will do my best to accommodate your schedule and needs! If I am in your home, I will be respectful of your space and ensure everything is left clean and how it was upon arrival!
About: I’ve had dogs (both big and small), hamsters, fish, lizards and a cat in my family so I have tons of experience with pet care! I am a freelancer so I currently have a pretty open schedule. Caring for your pets would be one of my primary focuses of the day. I have a cat and dog in my family. I am the primary caregiver of my cat, and my family and I take turns walking and feeding my dog.
About: I have previous experience caring for various breeds and sizes of pets from being a pet sitter for friends while they worked, traveled, and served in the military. Through these experiences I have learned that each and every animal is special and just as we have specific needs and routines that makes us healthy and happy, animals do too. I own a dachshund/terrier mix named Magoo. Being his mom has been a joy and has taught me so much about being a pet mom. I’d love to extend that love and care by helping you to take care of and give your pet the love and attention it deserves while you are away. I have my own PR company and I work from home. This allows me to have flexibility to check in on pets as needed throughout the day and week. When caring for pets, I like to stick to the instructions given by the client. Every pet is different and most of the time they’re already experiencing some sort of anxiety being away from their pet parent, so I want keep their routine as similar as possible to alleviate the stress the pet is experiencing.
