“Felipe is the kind of experience you want to have with a dog walking app. It’s not easy handing your beloved dog over to a stranger. Except with Felipe it was. Within seconds, not only did I get that Felipe is a dos person, Major was sniffing up all the dog vibes as well. Felipe is responsive, punctual, dependable and just a nice personable human. Most importantly, Major LOVES him. I highly recommend Felipe and have had an excellent experience with him.”


“Keri was great with our two dogs. She was very responsive and followed all my instructions. The dogs loved her. She sent me live updates and photos which were great! I’ll definitely use her again in the future.”


About: I have had cats for about 12 years and just fell in love with them. One of my cats currently has kidney disease and I make her own food for her and carefully watch her. Both my cats are elderly now and cared for them since I rescued them as kittens. I have also owned dogs and taken care of them as well since they were puppies til they were elderly. I am just an animal lover all around. I worked at a vets office when I was in high school so I’ve always been very fond of animals. I find animals truly a gift to humans! I own two businesses and make my own schedule, so my schedule is flexible. I am able to work from home and stop in the morning, afternoon and evening and also weekends. Or whenever you need me to be honest. I have an extra room that I have made into a cat room with toys and obstacle courses and tons of stuff to do for the cat with litter box, food and water, I live alone but two cats do live here but would not enter the room. I can also go to clients homes and stay with the pet and play with them or stay over. I am respectful, quiet and fun.

About: I am an animal lover with a cat of my own. I’m a bit of an anxious pet parent, and I like to feel secure knowing she has the best of care when I go away. So I will always care for your pet (and your home) as if they are my own. I always make sure to note special instructions and details to ensure your pet is well cared for, happy, and safe. I make a point to bring in any mail/packages, water plants, and put trash cans out if you’re gone for an extended period of time. You don’t have to worry about a thing while you’re away. For each 30 minute session I make sure your cat or dog get pets, attention, and playtime. I have received a covid booster, and am willing to wear a mask in your home. I am available afternoons and evenings Monday through Friday. Mondays and Fridays I am pretty flexible all day. I’m available all day on Saturday and Sunday. I will always be sure to treat your home with the utmost respect, and follow all instructions to take the best care of your cat or dog.

“Brittany was very sweet, easy to communicate with, reliable, sent great photos. I highly recommend Brittany and would definitely work with her again. Thanks Brittany!”


“Brooke was wonderful with my 3 dogs of all different sizes, temperament and needs. She was able to give them their own time by walking each one by themselves. Brooke did a great job feeding them so that they all ate their own food and not each other’s. We would highly recommend her.”


“Stella is a lovely young woman and her warmth and enthusiasm toward our pup was heartening! We hope that when we move to our new town, in a few months, that she can walk Misty regularly!”


About: I owe dogs for more than 10 years and I am confident with playing with them and building trust and funny environment! I love dogs! I can serve two per day on the time being but may be in future having some arrangements to accommodate more within the day and the weekend. We clean our house and yard. Safety first, mowe the lawn on weekly basis. pet boarding, dog walking, and pet sitting required momently monitoring their moves and directions and the pet feels welcome and easy to follow up with basic orders. Safety around and fir my family members are also included.

About: What sets me apart is my reliability, attention to detail, and genuine love for animals. I treat every pet like my own- making sure they're not just safe, but also happy, and well cared for. I follow instructions closely and communicate clearly with pet owners. Pet care is an important part of my daily and waekly routine. I currently care for my own dog, Boston Terrier, who is 15. Her name is Lola. I make sure she is fed, walked and taken care of. Since she's a senior dog, I make sure I stay alert to her health and behavior. I make sure my dog has a clean, safe space, fresh food, and water, regular exercise as she permits, and lots of hugs and kisses. I make sure they are comfortable and well-monitored throughout the day.

“Sarah has been the perfect dog walker for our anxious girl Hazel, she really makes her feel safe and confident! Sarah has years of experience with all types of dogs and cats, and it really shows. She is professional and knowledgeable, and I wouldn’t trust my pets with anyone else.”



About: I am tall and a fast walker, so I'm especially great with large dogs and energetic dogs who need lots of exercise. I have had wonderful times walking my in-laws' white alsations through the forest, and can't wait to go on an adventure around the neighborhood with your dog too! I am a high school teacher looking to make some dog friends and stay fit in the summer months. My family's situation prevents us from having a dog right now, and this is a great way to scratch that itch! Our daughters, with our help, take care of two rabbits. Not quite as energetic as dogs, but it's a great way to learn about responsibility, and they're good for a cuddle too.

About: I have experience with all different types of pets. I have dogsat in the past for different breeds and backgrounds, In my experience with dog sitting I have been able to provide walks, feeding, play, taking them out when needed and can administer meds as well! I also have a cat and have experience with litterboxes, med administration and cat feeding and interaction as well! I love both and would be happy to care for either cats or dogs! I am currently a part time worker with a flexible schedule, I have recently graduated from college so as long as I have some notice I can be flexible in coming to help out as needed. In my own home I make sure to carve our time to spend with my pet. She has consistent feeding times and a good schedule, I regularly make sure her litterbox and space is clean and make time for play and activity. I would provide the same for any pet I am providing services for, for dogs this will include walks and being taken out for bathroom use as needed. I am more than happy to follow any provided schedule.

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my deep sense of responsibility, patience, and genuine love for animals. I bring hands-on experience caring for both high-energy puppies and older dogs who require a gentler approach and extra attention. Whether it’s sticking to a consistent potty-training routine, handling medications, or just providing a calm and comforting presence, I tailor my care to meet each pet’s unique needs. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and loved while their owners are away, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I’m attentive, reliable, and make sure to communicate clearly with owners so they feel at ease every step of the way. Whether your pet needs extra playtime, slow walks, or a little bit of both, I’m here to give them the quality care and affection they deserve. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine, especially since I work a part-time job with a flexible schedule. It allows me to spend meaningful time with animals throughout the day while still being attentive and consistent with their needs. Caring for pets is not just something I enjoy—it brings balance to my day, keeps me active, and adds a sense of purpose. I love being able to provide companionship and care, whether it's morning walks, mid-day playtime, or relaxing evenings together. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s, I prioritize comfort, routine, and safety. I create a calm and loving environment where pets feel secure and cared for. I stick closely to their usual feeding, potty, and play schedules, and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. In a client’s home, I respect their space, follow detailed instructions, and make sure their pet feels relaxed in their familiar surroundings. Whether it’s walks, medication, or cuddle time, I tailor my care to meet each pet’s individual needs.

“We hired Julius to do a dog walk for us and we will definitely have him come back soon to walk our pup! For the meet and greet he was thorough and polite. During the walk we knew our dog was well taken care of and got a detailed report card! Recommend him for your pet needs!”

About: When I was young I grew up with animals. Since then, I have spent a lot of time with my friends and neighbors dogs. For example, I walk my neighbor’s dog everyday (for no fee) as they are an older couple and Chloe waits for me every morning. They joke that she’s my dog. I have pet sat for my friends during their vacations, pregnancies, and chemo appointments. These dogs have a special trust with me so their owners always feel comfortable when they’re away. I usually send pictures etc to update how they’re doing. One special picture was of the dog lying on the baby blanket that the parents had sent from the hospital. The mother said she burst into tears of gratitude. I have a job where I’m actively at work only 3 days a week. I spend my off days outdoors hiking usually which makes dog sitting / walking perfect. When I stay in the clients home, I try to keep to the schedule that is already known to the animal. At my own home, I do have a fenced in area. There are neighborhood dogs that can come and play if the dog is sociable.
