About: I am a reliable and attentive pet walker who loves getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I provide safe, engaging walks tailored to your pet’s needs, with plenty of care and attention. As a pet owner, I go the extra mile, I’ve even taken my own cat camping and to the beach, so I understand how to keep pets comfortable and happy in any environment. 🐾 I am currently taking a break from work and have plenty of time to adventure! I start my days generally early so I will be available! When caring for a pet in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining a safe, calm, and familiar environment. I carefully follow all care instructions to ensure consistency and minimize stress. Safety is always a priority, from securing the home to monitoring surroundings during walks. I also value trust and professionalism, providing reliable care while treating your home and pet with the utmost respect.
“Myleigh was able to come within a hour of my request for dog walking which was incredibly helpful. I needed someone to come for a day and a half and Myleigh was available and on time each time, even in the rain. Very nice, Molly loved walking with her!”
About: Several summers ago, I started taking care of dogs for members in my community, and I liked it so much I wanted to keep it going. My maturity and adaptability make me a great fit for any pet. I work Monday through Friday during the day, so I prefer to pet-sit on weekends. However, I am happy to be flexible and make something work. I have the most experience with caring for pets in a client’s home, where I can follow any routines that the pet already has. I’ve never owned a pet in my home.
“Brooke was amazing caring for our dog Zoey while we were away. We were hesitant on which route to take to care for Zoey on our 6 day vacation. We decided on using Brooke with multiple services and she exceeded our expectations. She was in contact with us daily with photos and communication. I will most definitely be recommending her to other dog families in need.”

About: I am great with all dogs. I love taking care of them and enjoy taking them for walks just to see how happy they are to be outside and exploring nature. Depending on your dogs personality, I would be happy to play with them or if they prefer to hangout more quietly I’ll cuddle up with them while I complete schoolwork or watch a movie. My family has had dogs my entire life so I have a lot of experience taking care of dogs. Additionally, If your dog likes playing with other dogs, I have two that love to play! I would be happy to take them with me for walks, and give them new friends (and more importantly help them get rid of all that energy). My dogs don’t travel with me all the time so if your dog isn’t a fan of others I’ll make sure to leave them at home. My hope is to give your dog attention that will make them feel safe and cared for when you are not around.

About: I’ve had a dog of my own since I was 14, and throughout the years I’ve also cared for other dogs for friends, family, and others.

I’m patient, responsible, and focused on making sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while sticking to their normal routine.

I make sure to plan my day around each pet’s needs so they get consistent attention, care, and companionship. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely, respect their space, and keep pets on their normal routine to reduce stress.

Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
