“katy was so great with our two dogs. she had great communication and notes with photos so we knew what they were up to during the check-ins. she's very sweet and i can tell she really cares for the animals she cares for!”


About: Hi! I’m a local dog lover offering personalized walks right here in our neighborhood. Whether you’re at work, running errands, or just need an extra hand, I’m here to make sure your pup gets the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. I treat every dog like my own. I’m experienced with everything from high energy puppies who need a bit of leash training to sweet senior pups who need a slower pace and extra care. I’m reliable, patient, and always put safety first on every walk. Pet care is my main focus right now, so it fits perfectly into my daily routine! ( I’m on summer break as I work as a special needs aide) so I’ve set aside this time specifically to care for pets in my community, which means I’m flexible, dependable, and fully present for each walk or visit. Whether it’s early mornings, midday walks, or evening check-ins, I’ve got the time and energy to give your pet the attention they deserve. I currently care for pets in my apartment/ clients’ homes. I do prefer to care for pets in clients homes as I want to ensure each pet has the space and comfort they’re used to. When caring for pets in their own home, I do my best to stick to their regular routine; feeding times, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any special instructions you provide. I always keep things clean, calm, and consistent so your pet feels safe and relaxed while you’re away. I treat every home with respect and every pet with the same love and care I’d want for my own.

“As a first time user of the app, I was a bit anxious but Gabrielle helped so much by sending updates everyday as we were away on vacation. She was on time and consistent. Will rebook again in the future!”


“We have used Toran several times. Our dog, Oliver, took to him immediately (Oliver is not thrilled when first meeting brew people). Communication is excellent, two thumbs up!”


About: I love dogs and cats, all animals really. I have had my dog for 5 years, I trained her since she was 8 weeks. I am very hardworking and punctual. I will give ur pup love and attention and any guidance needed :) Pet care is my priority everyday as a pet owner, and it would be my top priority to treat others pets with utmost care and provide any services needed. I have a large house and a big backyard. I also love taking walks and I always take my furbaby with me. I have a small 10 pound dog. She is shy and well behaved, mostly sleeps but loves to play. Good with dogs or cats.

About: I’ve been working with animals professionally since I was 19 — I’m now 26. Over the years, I’ve worked as a vet assistant, a professional groomer, and at a pet store, gaining hands-on experience with animals of all kinds. These days, my main focus is boarding, walking, and house sitting — and it’s something I genuinely love doing. What sets my care apart is the family-style experience I offer. When your dog stays with me, they aren’t just being watched — they’re becoming part of our daily life. It’s usually me, my young son, and my partner Brian. We go on nature walks, play outside, and include your dog in everything like they’re part of the crew. This isn’t just pet sitting — it’s a second home. I’ve found that so many dogs (and their humans) are looking for that feeling of safety, love, and belonging — even if they haven’t put it into words yet. That’s exactly what I try to create here. I’ve worked with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities — including shy rescues, high-energy pups, and seniors. I’m trained in animal behavior, have my own vehicle, and can adapt to your dog’s specific needs and temperament. 🚗 Please note: For boarding in my home, dogs must be comfortable around kids and okay with cats, since we do have both. I want everyone (human and animal) to feel safe and relaxed. Whether your pup needs playtime, quiet time, cuddles, or space, I always meet them where they are — with patience, love, and respect. I work from home part time, so your fur baby will fit in perfectly with my schedule. I am looking for something to do that will occupy more of my time, and what better way than to spend it with a new furry friend to love?! I have a fenced yard and a friendly cat who is more like a dog. I can keep him separate if ever needed. My house is a little over 1,300 sq ft so there’s plenty of space. If you need your pet to be crated I am comfortable with that. As well as if any medication is needed to be given or frequent walks. I will always respect the home of the pet and owner. Just point me where I need to go with some guidance regarding you fue baby’s routine, you are in great hands!

About: I’ve taken care of sunconures, cockatiels, dogs, cats, hamsters and turtles ever since I can remember. My dog is a senior at the end of her life so I have experience with that as well I do work in office from 9-5 Monday-Friday. So during that time not able to walk pets. Other than that I am able to care for them. in my home I have a basement set up incase the pets need to be kept seperate. If I’m going to your home I’m trust worthy and will not tamper with anything.

About: I have taken pets of family and friends, both dogs and cats. I am very attentive to their body language and try my best to respect their boundaries. I’ve taken care of cats most of my life, assisting my grandma with her cats over the years has given me valuable experience with both senior cats and small kittens. I am currently only available Fridays and weekends, on Friday's from 5pm to 8pm and on the weekends I am available from 2pm to 8pm. For pet walking I can assure it’ll be the safest route possible for your pet! No Unnecessary distractions. For drop in visits I will ensure no doors are left unlocked or open, your pets needs will be met!

About: I have had dogs many years. We have had different kinds of dogs, such as Rottweiler/German Shepard mix, medium and small. Sat for senior dogs needing a little extra help with ambulation and medication. We have two energetic -boys to play with and take for walks around the dog friendly neighborhood. We have one healthy 17 year old Dachshund in home now that we adopted, who has been with us for over 12 years, who warm ups with guest dogs pretty quickly. Looking forward to have different dogs to share our love and time taking care of them. Took a from ROVER sitting when a kitten adopted our family and we needed to learn to care for cats. Ready to reconnect with dog again. Family oriented care for dogs of all sizes and breeds. Looking to walk or drop in care. Flexible once we meet the pet and owners. Will walk and go into home as requested. High energy or snuggles as needed to accommodate the needs of the dogs and keep them safe while caring for them.

About: I’ve had dogs in my home since i was 10 years old, as well as have taken care of family’s, friends’, and even professor’s pets. I consider myself to be both a cat and a dog person, and love playing with pets or just relaxing with them. I am able to care for pets of all ages and abilities and have experience with everything from puppies to sick cats and visually impaired senior dogs. I am a very active person that loves to be outside and go on walks. I have two dogs myself that I already play with and take for walks, so your pet can fit right in! I have a large yard for your pet to run around and play, and although it is not fenced in there are many long leashes to ensure that your pet feels free while still being secure. Yard has no hazards for your pet and house is located on a quiet street with few cars. There are two sets of stairs in my house that can be blocked off if necessary, as the entry level has more than everything your pet will need. Dogs can be crated if necessary.

She was very flexible with her schedule and able to accommodate to my dogs needs all weekend! I will definitely be using her again! Thanks, Tatyanna!”


“Natalie was great! She met Olive and was comfortable with her quirky puppy personality. I was very happy with how responsive she was and gave me updates/report cards on how the visits went. I appreciate her being so flexible with my late night schedule and really trusted her with my sweet pittie knowing she was in good hands.”

“Mariah was a lifesaver for my german shepherd and Siberian husky! She walked them twice daily! I am very critical of who I allow to care for them... She treats my dogs as if they were her own. She is reliable, trustworthy and goes above and beyond. She has given us much-needed peace of mind when we are away from them. She knows how to keep my German shepherd calm and happy, which isn't an easy task with my anxious boy.”

Natalie P.
“A pet caregiver is the perfect fit for Natalie because animals make her really happy, she’s extremely responsible and trustworthy, and she has a very flexible schedule. Spoiler alert: This is an unbiased testimonial from her mom. We have had a hamster and currently have both a Shitzhu/Yorkshire mix (age 11) and a toy poodle (age 2) who broke his leg and was casted at 6 months old then a major surgery a year after that. She’s given eye drops without fear and has followed specific dietary needs and schedules without wavering for others’ pets. Natalie lights up around any animal. I have full confidence in her abilities. Your pets will be in the best hands.”
