“Michelle is an absolute gem of a dog walker! From the moment she met my Guster, I knew we were in good hands. Her genuine love for animals is clear in everything she does — from the way she greets Gussy with enthusiasm each visit, to the thoughtful updates and photos she sends after every walk. Michelle is dependable, professional, and truly treats Guster like her own. My dog lights up when she sees Michelle, and I have total peace of mind knowing hes being cared for with such kindness and attention. Rain or shine, Michelle always shows up with a smile and ensures my biy gets plenty of exercise, playtime, and love. Finding someone you can trust to care for your animal as you do is no small thing, and I’m incredibly grateful to have found Michelle. If you’re looking for someone who’s reliable, caring, and simply amazing with dogs — look no further. Michelle is the best!”
About: I have always had a pet in my life since the moment I was born. I have worked at an emergency animal hospital. I currently work from home which means I will always be available to take care of your pet. I currently have a 9 year-old puggle, Buddy who was rehomed to me and he takes medication every day. I work from home so this means I will always be available for your pet! I typically take my dog out for a brief walk and every four hours until I clock out of work then I live right across from the park so that's where we go. I would love to give your fur baby my undivided attention and take them to the park for lots of exercise! My Buddy is my entire world and I know that your fur baby is too so your pet will only get the best care. Want pictures of your pet on a daily basis? No problem! Daily updates? Of course! If your fur baby is on medication then they will get the medication on time and as directed!
“Samantha was great taking care of our dog. She’s so responsive to every message and we loved that we could set up a meet and greet before her check in! Our pup loved that he was able to get out while we were at work and I loved the thorough updates on how her visit went. We will definitely be using her for our future puppy needs! Thank you Samantha!!”

I have administered medicine, I am able to drive safely with an animal in the car, and I take their well-being my top priority.

About: I follow instructions that are left for the pet, I interact with the pet alot and treat it as my own. I make sure it is given unconditional love and care that all animals deserve!! Part time in the afternoons or on the weekends with advanced notice. During the week after 5pm and on the weekends between 10am-9pm, unless it’s overnight then the hours are more flexible. I am in an enclosed apartment, that is spacious and has a patio for the pet to chill with fresh air.

The entire neighborhood is very welcoming to pets and it could easily make a play date.
About: I’ve taken care of family pets for as long as I can remember. From baby to senior, I’ve taken care of dogs and cats. I currently have a bearded dragon so I have no issue with “exotic” animals. Family friends have let me pet sit. I walk family dogs at least twice a day depending on energy levels. I’ve just graduated college and am in the middle of transitioning from college to adult life, so I have a very open schedule at the moment and my hours are quite flexible during this time. I would be capable of feeding, and walking the pets. I can clean out litter boxes or enclosures. Play time so that the pet could release some energy. I could put the animal in a crate if it’s required after a certain time.

About: I’ve owned my late dog Rudy for 20 years. My neighbors have relied on me before to pet sit & walk their dogs! As old as Rudy’s lived to be he has required medication, and I have always been able to administer these to him as needed. I also have experience with active dogs; I currently own a 4 year old German Shepherd! I’m working full time with a flexible schedule! I work a 4 day work week and so can be completely available Saturday, Sunday, or Mondays (and am able to alternate Mondays and Fridays depending on the amount of notice I am provided). While I do offer stay-overs, at this point in time if you would like for me to do a stay-over, please note that I will need my dog to come as he has no other caretaker. He is crated when I am not in home (I will bring my own crate). He also eats in his crate. I would like for our dogs to also be able to meet to see how they interact prior to the stay! Important: He is not neutered. Lots of love and attention, plenty of walks and grooming, and my dog is always fed on schedule! Whatever you need, I can do—just let me know your own preferences for your pooch!

I can try my best to accommodate whatever time you may need. I am unable to host pets in my apartment. So while I miss my own pets back home, I can help some busy owners give some attention and enrichment to their pets.

Joanne B.
“Joanne is wonderful with our pets So caring and professional Joanne and Rover really ease the anxiety of vacationing and boarding our pets We highly recommend her services”
Patrick D.
“Patrick is truly amazing with animals, especially dogs! He has an incredible way with them, making him the ultimate pet parent. His Bernadoodle, Zucc, absolutely adores him, and it’s easy to see why- Patrick’s love and care for animals is so natural. He’s also fantastic with his parent’s Portuguese Water Dog, Tony, and previously grew up with another Portuguese Water Dog named Lola, so his experience with pets runs deep. His love for animals isn’t just limited to dogs, though. Patrick also helps care for his parents' cat, Harry, showing just how versatile and caring he is with all animals. Whether it's a dog or a cat, Patrick’s kindness, patience, and attention to their needs make him a wonderful pet parent. Highly recommend him for anyone looking for someone who truly understands and loves animals!”

But beyond her expertise, it's Kirsten's friendly and warm personality that makes working with her so special.”

“I have 5 dogs with my wife and I and Brian is always the first person I call when we need a dog sitter. My dogs love him and he always cares for my dogs like his own. There is never a problem when we're away and I know my dogs will be safe with him. It's hard to trust people to care for your dogs the same as you do but I feel Brian goes above and beyond to put my dogs first and give us peace of mind.”
