“Jennifer has been a repeat dog walker for me several visits. She has been there for me when I need a walker in a quick minute. She is absolutely the best. She loves my destiny just like she was her own.”
“Maricela P. was just amazing with our Winston! He can be a handful at times just because he gets very excited to meet new people but Maricela handled him with the same care and affection as we do. She was the best with Winston and we are very grateful for finding her!”
About: I have had dogs since I could form memories and currently work at a dog daycare. I have been around dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I work on the weekends but have open availability during the week. I am allergic to cats and cannot dog sit for anyone with a cat in the home. I have given medication, shots, and a variety of diets to dogs. I also have experience with reactive dogs and older dogs. I work on the weekends in the city at a dog daycare but have very open availability for the week. I am a caregiver to my grandma but not the sole caregiver. I cannot stay overnight or for prolonged periods. To make sure the dog is comfortable and in the best head space, I do not have other dogs at my house but am more than happy to dog/house sit if needed. I have watched all of my friends dogs while they were away and have no issues crashing on a couch!
“Angel is a gem of a person and a fantastic dog walker. The way she has clicked with my reserved and scared dog, which has allowed my dog to open up and be happy - it’s great to see. My dog is always so excited to see her for their walks and it has led to my dog’s positive mental health. Angel is prompt, extremely communicative, and very easy to reschedule with. Highly recommend booking with Angel for your dog’s walks!”

“Renee is amazing! She made us feel so comfortable upon meeting her and I love her energy :) She is reliable, trustworthy, and caring. We received daily updates on how our dog's walk went, including pictures of Tinkerz. Renee was so nice to even bring in a package I had on the front porch. I couldn't have asked for a better dog walker as she is so easy and great to work with. BIG HUGS and THANKS!”
“Leah is amazing with my dog Susie. Susie is very big and tends to pull. Leah assured me she was a good girl on her walks ( whether that is the case or not) and I appreciate her taking her out when I am at work. It takes a lot of stress off my shoulders knowing someone I trust is walking my fur baby.”
About: A loving warm hearted person. My family had a pet store growing up. I grew up around dogs and animals like lizards and birds. I currently have a cat named Oreo. I currently work part time close to home and help a little at my daughters catholic school in the area. I am flexible and easy to work with. I do not have a fence and that is why I can only go to peoples house currently to help. That might change in the future.
About: I have worked with puppies for 3.5 years and loved each and every one of them! Nothing makes me happier. This is a dream job. Hello! I’m an experienced and passionate pet lover with a lifetime of caring for animals! My journey began in childhood with my poodle, Pepper, who taught me the joy and responsibility of pet ownership. I helped walk, feed, and play with him daily, which sparked my love for caring for animals. As a parent, I raised two wonderful dogs and cared for four cats throughout my daughter’s upbringing. I even worked at a puppy shop for 3.5 years, where I gained hands-on experience grooming puppies, cleaning their living spaces, and administering oral medications. Now my husband and I are proud pet parents to a 3.5-year-old French Bulldog, Lola, who has become the heart of our home as empty nesters. I take joy in cooking for her, taking her on regular walks, and making playtime a priority. With decades of experience and a true love for animals, I understand the importance of providing pets with the care, attention, and affection they deserve. Whether it's walking, feeding, or playing, I’d love to care for your furry family members as if they were my own. When caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness. I take the time to understand each pet’s unique needs, routines, and personality to ensure they feel loved and secure while under my care. For dogs, I provide regular walks tailored to their energy levels, ensure they’re fed according to their specific dietary needs, and spend quality time playing and cuddling to make them feel at home. I’m experienced with preparing fresh meals if required and oral administering medications when needed. For cats, I ensure their feeding schedules are maintained, litter boxes are clean, and I offer plenty of play and affection (or give them space if that’s their preference!). In a client’s home, I treat the space with respect and maintain the pet’s familiar routines to help reduce stress while you’re away. My goal is to give your pets the same level of care and love I provide to my own.
About: Hello, I am a small/medium dog sitter with 8 years of experience. I enjoy playing with all size dogs but preferably will take in small dogs because of the space in my home. I also have a small dog with me so it would be fun to see her create new friends and have full bonding experience for my dog and yours. I have multiple toys for them to play as well as a good size yard for them to run around in. I will also take them out for walks and make sure they get their daily 30 minute walk. I prefer receiving information/details by text. I will answer by phone if it is more easier for my client. I also added an emergency contact if I don't respond in the next 2 hours. I'm home more often than others and taking care of other people's fur baby will be a great way for me to pass time. It will also help me meet new people and get out of the house to do daily walks. I take care of my Molly like she is my baby. I make sure she is well fed and has enough space for her to run around. I enjoy playing with her and just spending time with my Molly. If I were to be in someone's home I'd make sure I'm careful with everyone's belongings and take care of their fur babies like I do with Molly.
About: I currently have 2 Dobermans, both are 6 years of age. Previously adopted another Doberman at the age of 5. I’ve had 2 family dogs as well - making me a dog owner all my life I currently run a personal training business that is by appointment only. This gives me a lot of free time during the day that I could be caring for your pets. I will follow all care instructions for your pets in your own home. I currently have a fenced yard and have experience with invisible fences.
