About: I may be new to dog walking on a more professional basis, but I’ve always had a soft spot for animals! I’ve cared for turtles, birds, hamsters, and fish… so I know how to be patient, gentle, and pay close attention to detail. I treat every pet like family and bring positive energy, reliability, and genuine love into every walk. I might not have the longest resume, but I make up for it with heart, responsibility, and a real passion for giving pets the best care possible! I work full-time Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 3:00 PM, which means I’m fully available for afternoon and evening walks during the week. I also have open availability on weekends! Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule as I genuinely enjoy spending my free time outdoors and bonding with animals, so being a dog walker is something I look forward to, not just a side gig When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow their routine closely to help their pet feel safe and comfortable. I make sure to stick to feeding schedules, follow any special instructions, and give them plenty of attention, playtime, or calming care depending on their needs. I respect the space I’m in, keep things tidy, and treat each home and pet with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. Clear communication and trust are super important to me, so I always keep owners updated and in the loop!
“Elena is such a wonderful cat sitter! She warmly greets my cat and pets him so gently he loves her so much. She’s very attentive and compassionate about my cat’s wellbeing. I would absolutely recommend booking with her again!”

“Jennifer was a fantastic dog walker & carer for our pup who stayed home while we went away. She was open to meeting with us prior, to form a bond with our anxious dog, who warmed up to her instantly! For once, we felt at ease travelling without Kobe. Jennifer also administered his medication everyday with no hiccups and stayed in contact with us daily, which made us feel very reassured. Not only would I recommend her services — we look forward to Jennifer watching Kobe again in the future. If I could give 10 stars I would! ??”

14. Taina C.
“I recently had the pleasure of hiring Taina to care for my 4 year old Frenchie. From the moment I contacted her, she demonstrated professionalism and a genuine love for animals that immediately put me at ease. She arrived exactly on time and asked detailed questions about my dog’s routine, preferences, and any specific needs he might have. This attention to detail reassured me that she was committed to providing the best care possible. Throughout our interactions, her kindness shone through. She spoke gently to my dog and made an effort to engage him in play right away. It was clear that she understood how important it is for dogs to feel comfortable with their caregivers. Her warm demeanor helped my dog relax quickly, which is often a challenge when introducing new people into his environment. During her time caring for my dog, I received regular updates and photos that showcased their activities together. It was heartwarming to see how much fun they were having! She took him on long walks, played tug with his favorite toys, and even worked on some basic training commands. My dog seemed genuinely happy and well-cared-for during her visits. I cannot recommend Taina enough. Her promptness, kindness, and ability to connect with my dog made all the difference during my time away. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet with love and respect while ensuring their needs are met, look no further!”
