About: I've been a dog owner most of my life and also have two grand dogs and a grand cat who I care for often. I'm experienced with any age, any sized dog and regularly walk two dogs at a time. When can we meet? I'm looking for a way to meet more dogs when away from my grand dogs and want to walk / and exercise more while providing a trustworthy option for your pet(s)! Inclement weather doesn't matter if your pet doesn't mind it. I'm already an experienced and trusted house sitter, plus dog and cat sitter (and can care for houseplants & yards too). I'll respect your privacy and care for your home & pets like I would my own. I'll provide updates and photos to put you at ease. I truly understand that your pets are your children.

“Hi! Jen is an amazing dog walker and I would highly recommend her. She has taken on walking my 18 year old Emma, a rat terrier mix, 5 days a week. Jen is patient and kind with Emma, from slowly waking her up each afternoon, to walking her in all kinds of horrible winter weather, to making sure her paws are clean when they return. And with my old sassy girl, trust me when I say none of it is easy. Jen somehow pulls it off, week after week. I'm so grateful to have found her.”

I acquired my love for animals from my father. Since before I was born, he has always owned a dog. The first dog I remember having was a Husky named Brandon.

I have a dog run (working on fencing our large yard) and three dogs of my own. We have room to crate train if needed, and keep kids and dogs separate should your pup not be kid friendly.

“Jillian was a lifesaver! I knew immediately when Zoey met her, we would vibe. I am far away on vacation and she's been a huge help for my family. Being that my dog is a senior, the excellent communication and photos I received has eased my mind. Thank you so much, Jillian!”
“This is the second time that we’ve had Jules care for our two dogs while we’ve been away. Unlike other sitters we’ve used in the past, Jules has gone over and above each time she’s cared for our pets (taking our pets on more walks and runs than Rover required). She’s incredibly responsible, courteous and professional. Our #1 option for sitters.”
“Jessica is great with my dogs. They are both seniors and one with significant health and weight issues. He is doing so much better since she started taking him on walks and giving him great care. He wags his tail whenever she shows up. I highly recommend Jessica.”

Jules was very kind, pleasant, and caring with my dogs, and they seemed comfortable with her right away. I appreciated her friendly attitude and willingness to help. There were a few communication hiccups along the way, particularly around the app and payment process, but overall she was nice to work with and clearly good with animals.
Sarah was amazing!! I never had to worry about anything. She never was late always showed up on time,communicated with me every day. She would me pictures of Rocky and made little notes of the day Rocky absolutely adores her. And when the weather was way to cold to go for a walk , she would just stay with him. Let him out to pee a couple times play with him give him some love. Having Sarah taking care of Rocky while I was gone, gave me the peace of mind that I needed to know that he was well taken care of. Thanks, Sara you’re the best❤️
