“Danielle is great with any dog, even ones who typically don’t like anyone but their owners. I would say they naturally gravitate towards her. My dog, hates everyone but when Danielle is around, my dog doesn’t want anything to do with me. Shes has lots of patience, even with challenging dogs. I would highly recommend her to help you with your pooch!”




8. Jenny H.


“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.”


9. Paulina S.
“Paulina is truly “the wizard of paws”. Pets of all shapes and sizes flock to her. She’s remarkably intuitive and incredibly loving. My dog, Mister, loves visiting Paulina when she boards him and I honestly wouldn’t entrust his care to anyone else in this world BUT her. Needless to say, Paulina has my highest recommendation.”

11. Megan G.
“After dealing with many inexperienced pet sitters, I found Megan. She is responsible, consistent, experienced, patient and kind with my dogs. I trust her so much with my dogs and am so confident in her care of them. They love being with her. The mere mention of her name ignites tail wagging. I couldn’t ask for a better sitter. She is respectful of my house and is thoughtful enough to let me know if anything is awry (for example alerting me to a running toilet). I am now able to take lengthier trips because I have total faith in her that my dogs are taken care of.”


12. Josh H.

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 9. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to feed and take care of their pets. We have a comfortable and safe home and would enjoy taking care of your dog while you are away. We just love dogs and will do anything to keep them safe and happy. Being at home I can walk and take them out whenever they need. Our dog Benson has recently passed away from a genetic heart condition. We would love to host your pet and give them lots of love. Give me a call and I would be happy to talk. I'm currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to take long walks with your dogs. I enjoy moving and I just love animals! I am happy to care for dogs in your home if needed. Please let me know as I would treat your pet like one of my own.

About: *If you would be interested in grooming services while in my care, we can discuss pricing and details further upon contact * I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, and caring for them has always been my greatest passion. I got my first cat when I was around 9 years old, and that was just the beginning. Since then, I’ve raised and cared for just about every animal under the sun—cats, dogs, and beyond! My journey working with animals professionally started at 17 when I joined the Humane Society, where I gained invaluable hands-on experience with animals of all backgrounds and temperaments. Today, I’m a professional dog groomer, and I’m continuing to grow my expertise by pursuing a bachelor’s degree in Animal Health and Behavior. My days are filled with learning and caring for animals, and I absolutely love it. Over the years, I’ve worked with pets of every shape, size, and personality—playful puppies, senior dogs, shy cats, bold adventurers, and everything in between. What sets me apart is my deep understanding of animal behavior and my ability to make pets feel safe, loved, and cared for—whether that means giving them space, engaging them in play, or providing calm companionship. I treat every animal like family, and I’m dedicated to providing top-quality care that you can truly rely on. I work part time, on the weekends, as a dog groomer so I am available mornings and afternoons on the weekends, but available most any weekdays. I have a routine that incorporates play, meals, rest, and training to my personal pets and will expect to do the same for yours! I love creating enrichment activities for animals as well. Whatever I can do to keep these guys entertained to minimize bored-related behaviors.


16. Yating S.
“I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Yating for 10 years, and her genuine love for animals is unmatched. When she cared for my energetic Labrador, Max, Yating went above and beyond—providing daily updates, sticking to his routine, and showering him with affection. Her reliability, attention to safety, and warm communication put me completely at ease. Yating isn’t just a pet sitter; she is a true advocate for happy, healthy pets. Any furry friend would thrive under her care!”


17. Michael T.
“Michael has watched my cat for extended periods over the last few years. He takes time to play with her as well as changing food ,water and litter. He is reliable, trustworthy and a good communicaor. I will definitely use him again and highly recommend.”

About: Ever since I was a kid, I've had love and fascination for all kinds of animals - including dogs, cats, birds, bunnies, crickets, even fishflies! I understood from a young age that each living creature has a place and a purpose on this planet, and that it's our job as humans to respect them. My experience with pet care first began with a family goldfish, and eventually a couple of parakeets. I quickly learned that there are responsibilities that come with not only physically taking care of a pet, but tending to their emotional needs as well. In 2018, I started taking care of my loved ones' pets when they were out of town or just needed a little extra help - ranging from my brother's dog to my best friend's cat. I have devoted my attention in these situations to ensuring that the pets are well fed and hydrated, they've received appropriate stimuli from either walks or playtime, and that they've received extra snuggles (if they want them!) I understand that it's also important to take care of the pets' owners as well, so I've prided myself in being an excellent communicator. In 2021, a sweet little peanut came into my life - a smushy-faced, Shar Pei mutt named Mischief. He has lived up to his name, but in a good way! We have spent the past four years munching on carrots (his favorite), going on long walks at the park, and burying ourselves under the covers on rainy days. He has made me a very happy dog mom, and from the very beginning we have had a special emotional bond that still amazes me to this day. In short, I have had quite a few years of experience with taking care of pets, and I have proven myself to be communicative and reliable. I have a big heart for all creatures, big & small, and I have more than enough love to go around! I work remotely and I live in a walkable area, so whether I am needed for a quick walk/drop-in while the pet owner is out of the house or at work, I have ample time throughout the day to take care of the pet. For any new pet, I understand that a bit of acclimation is necessary to gain the pet's trust. If the owner would like, I can meet the pet ahead of time to determine its temperance level and I'll respect any special needs that the pet has. I will cater my behavior and energy level towards the pet so that it doesn't become overwhelmed. I also have the strength and endurance to take pets for long walks and maintain good leash control. Lastly, I know a number of First Aid / CPR tactics for both dogs & cats alike, and I have the aptitude to learn anything else that is necessary for the pet's care.
