“Jasmin was there for my baby Luna as I started a new job. So grateful for her. She made sure Luna went outside to walk even when Luna didn’t really want to.”


About: I've had pets all my life ranging from fish, hamsters, frogs, cats and dogs. They have all taught me appreciation towards companionship and the joys of being a pet owner. I have around 5 years of experience pet sitting for family and friends. I am also an Eagle Scout who loves the outdoors, so taking your dog(s) for a walk or to the park would be my pleasure. I'm currently working part time in the morning of weekdays. I am free to take care of your pets after 12 pm and anytime during the weekends. At home, I take care of my cat Pepe where i attentively pet him when he shows affection. I feed him 3 times a day and clean his litter box everyday. For when i watch your pet, I will love and care for it as if were my own. I have experience caring for and walking dogs in the past 5 years for family, friends and past roomates.

“She is wonderful! Great with communication and Ruby loves her! I can alway count on her to be on time and in contact if anything is needed! Deff recommend!”


“Anna is great. She understands dog behavior and is very nice to my dog. It didn't take long for my reactive dog to warm up to her.”

“Mersades is an absolutely fantastic dog walker! She goes above and beyond, keeps me informed of everything happening, and is considerate to my Ella!”


“Maddie is wonderful she was available short notice and totally accommodating to our needs for Cletus. Cletus really enjoyed his walk with her and we will use her again when we are in town”



“Eleanor was amazing with Kodi. She took him on long walks and he was very happy. Thanks!”


“Words can not express how grateful I am to Berthie. I remember contacting his back in December when another walker/sitter canceled on me hours before my flight. While he couldn't help me then his willingness to assist me made a lasting impression and I told myself I would definitely work with him in the future. Berthie is understanding, provided a high level of care, and is willing to go the extra mile for his clients. He isn't afraid of larger dogs. And is able to command the attention of the pup to make walks go smoother. I honestly have a lot I can say but I'll leave you with this.... if you get a chance to work with Berthie.... run towards the opportunity don't walk! You won't be disappointed and your fur baby will thank you for it!!”

About: Your dog will be loved while you’re away by someone who is communicative, experienced, and has handled all kinds of emergency situations. I’ve been raising guide dog puppies since 2015 and am well-versed in all things dogs. I have experience with all personalities and temperaments, basic training and exposure, administrating medicine, and basic medical care. Having helped raise over a dozen guide dog puppies, I’m experienced in all things puppy-raising including housebreaking, teaching beginner’s obedience, and manners. I’ve also worked with special needs dogs such as those with trauma, post-surgical care, and special medical administration. Pups are my favorite part of my schedule, so I’ll usually try to work around pup-times, making sure all needs are taken care of throughout the day. I often work virtually so I can check in and spend time with your pups, and like to schedule outings to be animal-friendly as much as possible, so that they can come with me. When it comes to your home, I will take your lead, and be as respectful as possible. Please show me your/your pet’s preferences and I’ll adhere to those wherever I can. I believe in building our relationship with trust and explicit communication. You are sharing your precious companions and home with me, and I cherish that so much. I will take good care of them so that you feel assured that they’re in good hands. I do have a German shepherd that is a career change from The Seeing Eye program, and a friendly and very gentle cat. They can come with me or stay at our home with my partner, depending on your preference.
