“Took care of my kitty like her own. Even brought her a scratching pad. The pictures that were taken were beautiful and made me feel good while on vacation knowing my kitty was in good hands. A++”


“She did great! Some issues came up last minute and she handled everything with grace. She was able to get my anxious kitties to warm up to her.

When I got home, my kitties were unstressed and greeted me happily. Thanks again Katrina!!”

About: I rescued my first pup in 2020 he was 3 months old. I trained him myself. Crate trained, leash trained, and commands. In December of 2024 I rescued my second pup at 2 years old and I have trained her as well. We go on walks every day on a nature trail. I am also trusted by my neighbor to play with and walk her dog. My schedule is currently totally open. If that changes I will of course update you. I am currently trying to see if dog walking full time will work out for me. I treat all dogs with love, care, and respect. I let them come to me and warm up to me. Over time I show them what is appropriate behavior that helps them to live in a human world. I do this by telling them no when the behavior isn’t appropriate and giving them a treat and telling them good boy/ girl when they are behaving.

About: I truly love pets cats and dogs. I studied pet grooming and I am currently in a grooming internship! I love to make your pets like family. I am off the summer and looking to fill my day with your pets needs! I really look forward to meeting your pets! Thank you I live in the condo and I don’t have a fence in but if needed I can walk your pets. I can feed cats and scoop liter!

“Christine was great with Gizmo. He loves being brushed and Christine really accommodated him :) And she took care of his food, water, litter box etc. We’ll definitely be using her again in the future!”


About: I’ve cared for my family’s and friends’ dogs and cats for years, and I truly love looking after their fur babies. I’ve been trusted to walk, feed, bathe, give medications, and of course, spend plenty of quality playtime with their pets while they’re away. I always make sure every pet in my care feels safe, comfortable, and loved—treating them as if they were my own. If you have any questions or would like more details, I’d be happy to chat! I’m pretty flexible with my schedule. I would do this part-time since I don’t have a full-time job. Which will give me plenty of time to be attentive and play with your fur baby. I will be available on weekdays, and flexible if it’s weekends if necessary. Since I don’t have a full-time job or live with dog at my home. My attention and care will be all on your pup. I would be home to keep your pup company to ensure they’re in the best care possible. If I need to go on run a quick errand such as grocery shopping, if your dog is crate trained I can easily crate your dog if needed.

“Francesca was an amazing dog walker. She keeps me updated on her timing with Benny and sends lots of pictures of their time together. She is sweet, kind and loving with Benny. She comes on time and walks, feeds and plays with Benny!! Highly recommend Francesca”


About: Dogs have been a part of my heart and home for as long as I can remember. I adopted my first dog, a spirited Jack Russell-Boston Terrier mix, in 2005, and when I got married, I happily welcomed my husband’s senior boxer into our family. A few years later, an unplanned encounter led us to adopt another boxer puppy—we couldn’t resist her charm! Over the years, our family grew, adding four kids into the mix alongside our beloved dogs. Losing my own dog in 2019 and our boxer shortly after my youngest was born was incredibly hard, but it deepened my appreciation for the unconditional love and joy dogs bring. I was the first in my family to welcome a dog into our lives, and since then, I’ve inspired my sisters and even nieces and nephews to do the same. Though I can’t currently have a dog in my home as a single mom with four little ones, I deeply miss the companionship and connection dogs provide. Caring for your dog would be an honor, and I promise to treat them with the same love and attention I’ve given my own. Whether it’s walks, cuddles, or playtime, your furry family member will be in caring hands. I’m a newly single mom of four young children. As a stay-at-home parent, I care for my toddler during the day while my three older kids are in school. This allows me to have a flexible schedule that works around their school hours and extracurricular activities. I understand how important it is to ensure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m happy to care for your dog in your home, following all your instructions to keep their routine consistent and familiar. Whether it’s feeding schedules, playtime, or quiet cuddles, I’ll make sure your furry family member gets the attention and care they deserve. I also recognize that dogs can sometimes feel anxious when their parents aren’t around. I’ll do everything I can to ease their worries and keep them calm, using the tips and guidance you provide. If any unexpected messes happen, I’ll handle them promptly and ensure your home stays clean and tidy. My goal is to provide you with peace of mind and ensure your dog feels loved and cared for while you’re away.
