“I can’t say how comfortable we were with Diana coming to our house to watch our 3rd child ?. She is trustworthy and sweet. Diana not only took our dog on long walks but gave her the TLC that she needed when her family went away! I will be forever grateful for Diana and I will definitely ask for her services again!”
About: I have direct experience caring for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience. I'm comfortable with feeding routines and administering basic medications. I ensure each pet gets the exercise and care they're accustomed to. What sets me apart is my attention and love! I treat every pet like my own, making sure they feel safe and cared for while you’re away! I’m home from college until July 24th, and I have a flexible, open schedule that lets me prioritize pet care. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and extended stays, and I make sure pets receive consistent attention and care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their usual routine so they feel comfortable and secure. I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding, exercise, and any medications if needed. I’m very mindful of safety, keeping pets supervised, ensuring environments are secure, and avoiding anything that could put them at risk. I also treat your home with respect, cleaning up after myself and your pet, and leaving everything neat and tidy. I also keep communication open with updates and photos! My goal is to create a stress-free, loving environment where your pet feels at home.
“I was definitely skeptical and a little nervous about hiring a dog walker to watch my pup when we went on vacation. My guy is a little more high maintenance than other dogs. He’s not the biggest fan of strangers and other dogs so I knew I needed to make sure I hired the right person for the job. Hiring Scarlet turned out to be the absolute BEST decision we could have ever made. Her communication was fantastic, always letting us know how he was and what her timing was going to be. Things went so well I’m going to be scheduling weekly walks just so they can hang out/see each other on a regular basis. 5 STARS!!!”
“Jing is fantastic! I contacted her at the last minute looking for a dog walker for my puppy as my current walker is on vacation. Jing responded immediately and scheduled a meet & greet. My puppy absolutely loved her. Jing communicated with me throughout the walk and sent pictures too. She put my mind at ease while I was at work because I knew my puppy was being taken care of and having a great time! I highly recommend Jing. She’s reliable, efficient, and trustworthy. I will continue to work with her in the future!”
“Xavier was great! He was on time and patient. I have two dogs with special needs and Xavier took care of them with no issue. He sent plenty of pictures and they clearly were very well taken care of. He was communicative and very helpful!”
About: I’ve been around animals, specifically dogs, for as long as I can remember. I’ve had boxer and pit bulls my entire life growing up, I treat them like family. I am very good and patient with playing and taking dogs on walks and getting their energy out. I am currently getting my masters degree and in my internship semester, so I have availability Monday and Wednesday up until 4pm. Tuesday, Thursday, Friday I have availability until 12. I think taking dogs for walks on leash is best, and if you have a fenced in yard I would never leave a dog unattended outside. I
About: I've taken care of pets for a long time, a long 15 years, and I'm dedicated to helping your baby out, because our pets are our families. I am free every day after 1:00pm and before 8:00 pm. I generally walk people's pets and donate to my local vet in that free time but I'm trying to save! I have a large fence for my own dogs and have spare bowls and dog/cat food if that is necessary. I also have tools for brushing and cleaning!!
About: I am very interested in the care I will provide for the dogs or cats I will taking care of. I have a female black short haired cat named Onyx. Aside from trying to obtain a job with good pay, I am also doing this because it’s a fun job. I will make sure that I am available on the days that I say I am so that it can make everything easier. I am currently in Cardiac Sonographer school and will need to work around my night schedule but that shouldn’t be a problem. My school schedule is 5-10pm I have my cat onyx and she gets her teeth brushed weekly, her coat of hair is brushed weekly as well, and weekly treats and daily pets. I also have cat sat for a couple of my friends and have experience with that.
About: I’ve always loved dogs and cats, and taking care of them has been a natural part of my life. Even though I haven’t done it professionally, I’ve helped family and friends by caring for their pets when they’re away—feeding them, spending time with them, and making sure they feel comfortable and safe. I currently live with two cats and a dog, so I’m used to their daily routines and understand how different each pet can be. I really enjoy connecting with animals and paying attention to what they need. I’ll treat your pets with the same love and care I give my own. I’m not working at the moment, so I have plenty of time to care for your dogs and cats whenever needed. I just ask that bookings be scheduled at least 5 days in advance so I can plan my time accordingly. I’m very careful and attentive with both dogs and cats. I know some pets can get curious and try to run outside when a door opens, so I always stay aware and make sure they’re safe and secure. Their safety is really important to me.
“I needed a dog-sitting service last minute, and Angela came through in a big way! She was super responsive and made sure my dog was well taken care of despite the short notice. I got updates and pictures, which really put my mind at ease. My dog seemed happy and relaxed when I returned. Highly recommend for anyone in a pinch!”

“Bryndon was great with our almost 3 year old corgi, Rome. It was Rome’s first walk without us from our home, and Bryndon handled this well. It was a super hot day (hello heat wave!) and Bryndon was flexible when Rome refused to walk very far. He asked if they could walk around in the back yard, and we noticed him working on some commands during the walk, which is terrific. Rome seemed to have a great time and Bryndon handled this diversion well. Looking forward to having a great dog walker/sitter nearby for when we are busy or away!”
“Nheli has been great with my dog! She has been walking him the past few weeks. She took the time to build trust with him as he is nervous around new people at first and now he loves her lots!!”

Bryndon is great! Our dog usually barks at everyone that comes in the house. She did not bark at all with Bryndon. She met him at the door and after a few sniffs, sat down so he could pet her! Bryndon was very engaged in learning about Miracle's personality and quirks. He was engaged with her and at the same time maintained full control of her (she can pull at times). Bryndon was also very attentive to everything we shared with him about Miracle and we are very confident that Miracle will be in great hands on her walks with Bryndon.
We’ve had such a great experience with our dog walker, Xavier! He’s been walking our two dogs, Koda and Miso, and I honestly couldn’t ask for better care. Both dogs have their own personalities, and he handles each of them so well—making sure they get the right amount of exercise, attention, and love. I always feel at ease knowing Koda and Miso are in good hands. Xavier is reliable, communicative, and clearly cares about the dogs he works with. You can tell he genuinely enjoys what he does, and it shows in how happy and relaxed my pups are after every walk. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring!
Jing was wonderful with Bailey. He was a little nervous today because it’s only a few days in our new apt, so he don’t finish his breakfast. Jing sat with him and hand fed him a couple morsels, helping him to feel comfortable and then he finished the rest on his own. I highly recommend Jing and will definitely use her again!
I cannot recommend my pet sitter Eleonora, highly enough! From the very first meeting, it was clear that she genuinely cares about animals and take her responsibility seriously. She was warm, patient, and incredibly attentive to every detail of my pet’s routine. While I was away, I received regular updates, photos, and messages that gave me total peace of mind. It was obvious that my pet felt safe, comfortable, and well‑loved. When I came home, everything was spotless, and my pet was relaxed and happy—always the best sign of excellent care.
Jungmin did a wonderful job taking care of my dog, Mia. She walked her with great care and regularly sent pictures and videos, which gave me peace of mind knowing Mia was happy and in good condition. Jungmin was very responsive, kind, and clearly attentive to Mia’s needs. I would absolutely hire her again and highly recommend her to anyone.
