“I was so nervous leaving our beast of a dog, Titan. He is tricky due to his deplorable past and emotional issues, but gentle with us. Tracy was calm and positive and it sure seems like all went quite well! We will use him again. We did not worry. Thank you, Tracy!”


“Awesome job, reliable, great guy.”


“Craig and Edmy have been flexible, reliable, and kind while taking care of our girls while we are at work! We have started using them every week”


“Christina has been a blessing! It’s dark before I get home from work but now I have Christina who comes to my home and walks Milo in my neighborhood.

She got him a squeaker for Christmas, he loves that toy!”

About: I've been a dog owner since I was 12. My husband, Ryan, and I have experience with all types of dogs and a neighborhood full of friendly dogs that's great for long walks. We do have 2 children, ages 7 and 8. They are NOT be around during traditional "work" hours, 8:30am-5pm M-F, but will be present on evenings and weekends. They are calm and respectful around animals and will never be left alone with your pet. I work from home 5 days per week, and am home most weekends. I own my own company and only work part-time, so I have plenty of flexibility for walks and playtime. We live in a urban walking-friendly neighborhood, just 1 block from the River Greenway trail. There is plenty of space in my office for a dog to curl up and make itself at home. In nicer months, I work outside on our shaded open-air porch, and would love for your dog to join me!

About: I have taken a wide variety of dogs from a Chihuahua to a German shepherd. Neighbors and friends have relied on me to walk, feed, give medications and play with their dogs. I have also stayed overnight servers different times. This has given a wide variety of experience with different cares and types of dogs. I am currently looking for part time summer jobs. I am fairly flexible and could work a variety of days and hours. I am able to pick up jobs at a short notice. I have a two weeks I would not be able to work but am free the rest of the summer. I am not currently in an apartment that would not suite dogs. I am comfortable and have experience with pet care in the home. I would be able to stay or night or visit throughout the day. I can walk, play and crate dogs if needed.

About: Animals are a big part of my life! I have 2 dogs, a cat, a bunny, 2 bearded dragons, a corn snake, 2 hermit crabs, 8 praying mantises, 2 tarantulas, 2 jumping spiders, and 3 madagascar hissing roaches. 😁 I have had dogs in my life since I was a child. I have been a dog groomer and continue to look for ways to continue to work with animals. I groom my own dog still, and have groomed some friends' dogs as well. I take animal care seriously and will do so with your furbabies. I will treat them the way I would want others to treat MY furbabies. I understand how hard it can be to trust someone else with your babies.. I am willing and able to care for other pets if you have something other than dogs or cats. Your pets are my #1 priority when you trust me with their care. I work from home on my own schedule so I have plenty of time for your fur babies. I am happy to spend time with them. I will never let your babies out of my sight and if going for walks, they will ALWAYS be on a leash for safety purposes.

“We were hesitant to leave Blue w “just anyone”, but after meeting with Jennifer and seeing how she interacted with her helped us get over the hump. Jennifer was totally awesome and my wife and I were able to enjoy our time away, knowing that Blue was in very capable hands. Will use her services again??, and again?”


“Excellent working with our extremely traumatized dog. She works a lot with her before she could get her to go outside. There was an extreme amount of extra effort on Randy’s part five out of five stars definitely would hire her again.”


“Sadie was very good with our 2 dogs. She walked them 2 days during wedding festivities. I would definitely have her care for my dogs again!”


“Lydia is very kind, considerate, and prompt! She lets you know what's going on well a head of time if things need to be changed in the schedule. 10/10 Will definitely use again! Oh, and my Trudy likes her too 🤩😂”


“Thank you Mackenzie! Definitely recommend her as a walker!”


About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a little kid. Not just my own, but family’s, friend’s, and neighbors. I believe animals deserve the best love and care, and you deserve to have peace of mind that your babies are safe! <3 I’m currently working part-time, so my schedule is very flexible! A week’s notice works the best for me when it comes to securing my availability. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I create a calm, secure environment where pets can feel relaxed and loved, just like they would at home. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique needs and always follow any specific care instructions closely. You can trust that your pet will be in safe, capable hands every step of the way. I’m also a very active person, so walks and playtime are a big part as well!

About: I currently have two cats of my own who are my pride and joy! Grew up surrounded by animals including dogs, cats, hamsters, fish, and more! I work full time but with a very flexible schedule. I have plenty of extra time to take dogs on walks or play with cats! I currently have two cats in my house who have been around many dogs and cats since they were adopted! My #1 priority is to make sure all animals feel happy and safe in their space!

About: Hi there! I’m Anahi, and I’m an experienced and compassionate pet caregiver 😊 I started when I was 17 years old, caring for my family’s pets. My previous pet was a dog named Nova, she got along well with my kids and other dogs! I’m reliable, trustworthy and have experience with both routine care and special requests! I’m also very understanding and flexible with my prices- please feel free to message me and I’m sure we can figure something that works for the both of us! Trust your furry friend to someone who understands, they’re more than just pets, they’re family !🐶💗 I can offer daily walks, a backyard where we can play all day, treats, toys and more! Im a stay at home mom, with plenty of time on my hands ! I’m looking into doing pet care because of my previous dog. I used to spend all day with her, she was the sweetest and I just feel like keeping myself busy with pets would bring a lot of fun back into mine and my family’s life without having to replace her right away 🥲 In my home, I can provide daily walks, supervised play time outside, toys, cuddles and more! I will ask for feeding and potty schedule, and a crate just in case I need to run out and do an errand. When caring in my clients home, it’s all based on their preferences 😁
