“Ruth was an amazing dog walker! She went above and beyond to walk our pup. She provided updates, sent pictures and made us feel at ease while we were away. She's now our preferred dog walker :)”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats all of my life. I have always been the go to sitter for friends and family. I am especially experienced with senior dogs and understand the patience, gentleness and extra care they need. I’ve also trained my own pets from a young age, so I’m comfortable working with both older and energetic puppies. Above all, my husband and I treat every pet like family. I work full-time, and my husband is an independent worker with a flexible schedule, so we tag team pet care throughout the day. Our routine allows us to provide check ins and potty breaks approximately every 2-4 hours. We make sure pets are never left alone for too long and always have the attention they need. We’re also available on weekends and happy to accommodate your pets usual routine as closely as possible. Safety and trust are my top priorities. While I have an unfenced yard, I always use leash and supervise pets closely during outdoor time. I have a calm home environment with open space for pets to walk, play and relax. My senior chihuahua has their own separate room, which helps maintain a peaceful setting and allows me to keep visiting pets comfortable and safe.
“Matthew was absolutely amazing with my dog! From the start, he was professional, communicative, and kind. He followed all instructions perfectly, sent great updates and photos, and went above and beyond to make sure my dog was comfortable and happy. I’ll definitely be booking with Matthew again—highly recommend!”
About: I’m interested in this position because pets have a soft spot in my heart. I grew up with two dogs and four cats. We sometimes let in strays as well. I was the one responsible for feeding my pets and cleaning up the litter box. My own canine family started when I was 18. I have experience with dogs with diabetes, orthopedic reconstruction and chronic systemic arthritis. I am confident that I can care for and love on your pet while you’re away so you have few concerns about your loved one. I have a very flexible schedule. I am a stay at home mom of teenagers. I have the ability to care for your pet based on your schedule and needs. I offer care in the client’s home. I will follow the instructions the client tells me. My own dog has such a schedule and routine of when to go out vs eating so I completely understand the need for routine. I will always make sure safety comes first. If there isn’t a fence then I would prefer to have the pet on a leash. I would never want a pet getting loose and running off.

“Shelisha is a caring and compassionate person towards people and pets. She has this ability to connect with animals that is truly amazing and endearing. They seem to establish a connection with her almost instantly. I think it has to do with how sensitive towards her and the animal's emotions she is and animals are able to pick up on that.

“I've known Alisa for years, and if there's one thing that has always stood out, it's how deeply she cares for animals. She's looked after my dogs many times, and they absolutely adore her, probably because she gives them as much love and attention as I do (maybe more, but don't tell them that!). She’s gentle, reliable, and genuinely joyful to be around pets. What I appreciate most is that she doesn’t just “watch” dogs, she connects with them. Whether it’s snuggling on the couch, going for a walk, or just sitting outside in the sun, she’s happiest when she’s got a furry friend by her side. She always makes sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet like family, you can’t do better than Alisa! She’s one of those rare people who animals just seem to gravitate toward—and once they do, she makes sure they still get all the snuggles and love they deserve!”
