“We feel so lucky to have found Mary as our dog walker. Our dog Biz absolutely loves her—and Biz is an excellent judge of character, so that says everything! Mary is incredibly reliable, honest, and kind. She’s gentle and attentive, and we always feel completely at ease knowing Biz is in such good hands. It’s clear she truly cares about the dogs she works with. We highly recommend Mary to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pet.”

About: We're a family of five who adore pets of all kinds! We had a wonderful dog named Peace for about six years and plenty of experience petsitting for friends and relatives. Due to travel commitments, we currently have no pets-- which gives us plenty of time to care for yours. I am a stay at home mom and my husband works on a hybrid schedule, which gives us plenty of flexibility and allows us to be home for the majority of the day. Our daughter is currently enrolled in online high school, so she has plenty of time to walk, care for, and play with your pets! We have a large fenced yard and are able to crate your pets if provided. We'll take dogs for walks a minimum of twice a day and let them roam in the yard/provide at least a couple more potty breaks.

Her patience and dedication have even helped with some training along the way! We’ve had a consistently positive experience and truly appreciate the care and attention she gives.

“Mario is a gem! Olive and I had such a great experience with Mario — he’s friendly, professional, and truly knows his stuff when it comes to dogs. From the very beginning, he connected with Olive and made her feel at ease. She was always excited to see him, and I felt completely confident leaving her in his care. What really stood out was how Mario handled an unexpected stomach issue Olive had one day. When he arrived for her walk, he noticed she’d had an accident inside and immediately recognized that something was off. Not only did he take care of the cleanup without hesitation, but he also kept me updated with calm, thoughtful messages and even brought rice on a follow-up visit to help settle her stomach. That kind of attentiveness instills so much confidence and really reinforces just how much he cares about the dogs he works with. Mario goes well beyond the basics — he’s compassionate, attentive, and clearly invested in the dogs he looks after. Olive and I are both so lucky to have found him. Can’t recommend him highly enough!”

I have a lot of spare time on my hands so I could use that time to care for your pet! I am your pet Nannie around the corner. I have experience dog walking, so I understand how it goes.

About: I’ve had cats and dogs throughout my life and I have always felt a strong connection and kindness to animals. I have done petsitting for dogs, cats, and even a leopard gecko before! I have one cat who is 17 years old. His brother was the same age and passed away earlier this year. I had a dog that lived to about 15 and I lost him several years ago, so I have experience with taking care of senior pets and the process of loss. Taking care of pets is something I love doing! I work as a mental health therapist, with most of my shifts from 3pm-8pm on weekdays. I sometimes have meetings in mid-morning. With my job, there is tremendous flexibility due to constant shifts in my caseload and clients cancelling appointments. I am also in charge of my own schedule. Generally, I will be most available in the morning and afternoon for pet care. Weekend availability may fluctuate depending on my plans. I will happily follow your instructions and preferences regarding care for your pet, and I would love to send you pictures and updates! I appreciate it when my own cat-sitter does that for me, so I know you probably do too.

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember! I have worked in an animal shelter and vet clinic as a veterinary assistant caring for a variety of animals. I have had the privilege of fostering 100 animals (mostly neonatal and orphaned kittens!). I currently have three cats and an 18 year old Crested Gecko. Two of my cats are fosters that never left- both have cererbellar hypoplasia, or better known as wobbly cat syndrome! I have pet sat for many kinds of animals including cats, dogs, guinea pigs and reptiles. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! Please note: I do not use flexi/retractible leashes to ensure safety. I am happy to bring my own slip lead or standard leash. Please, let me know if you have questions! I work from home and have a flexible schedule! I typically have afternoons and weekends free. I would love to learn more about what your pet’s specific care needs are! I want to hear all about your pet! What do they like, what don’t they like? What are their quirks and preferences? I want to learn about them because I want to make sure I am caring for them the way you would.

About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life. My aspirations are to own or work for a dog care/training business. I volunteer part time at a local pet shelter. I look forward to helping dogs find good homes. My dogs at home are treated the same as my kids, full of love, exercise, and joy! I stay at home while my boys are away at school. My communication with animals is strong, but firm. Lots of belly rubs and kisses to go around. I believe every animal has their own personality so you need to let it shine through. My neighborhood is also quiet and dog friendly. I also live nearby two parks so there is lots of opportunity to take the dogs for long walks.

About: I live near a walking trail for those that like a nice stroll, or for those that don’t I also have a few comfy couches to relax on. As a foster pet parent, I’m familiar with providing medications if needed. I typically work from home and am able to care for your pet while you’re away. My cats are friendly and use to foster cats so they’ll either play with your cat our leave them be. No matter what, your cat will not be alone. My home has multiple floors with large litter boxes on each floor, there is plenty of space and lots to explore. We have different dietary needs for our cats so I can definitely accommodate any specific dietary needs.

Amy was wonderful! She had great communication and was very flexible, which we really appreciated. Our dog Brady can be very nervous around new people, and Amy was so patient, respected his boundaries, and followed our instructions without pushing him. We felt very comfortable having her work with him and are so happy we connected with her. We’ll definitely be using Amy for future walks and highly recommend her!

Mirna is amazing! Milo looks forward to his walks with Mirna because she lets him take walk at his own pace and is so sweet around him. We look forward to her "Rover Card" every day because she is very detailed with her notes and you can not only tell she has experience with dogs, but also loves them. Thanks for everything you do.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Golf. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. 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.
