“Abigail has been a great regular walker for Lilah. It gives me a lot of peace of mind that my dog gets a break in the middle of the work day. Abigail is punctual and very responsive to communications, and Lilah loves her daily walk with her.”


About: I’ve taken care of all of my pets since 5 yo. I love to go on walks and runs. I used to baby sit my neighbors dogs since I was 12. I can feed, bathe, walk their pets! I am a marine during the week but I can work any time during the weekends. I can work overnight if need be as well. I care for my boxer mix at home by feeding her, walking/running with her. I’d give her alot of attentions. I would also brush and cut her toenails.

“I booked Kaycie for three midday walks very last minute. I peeped at my dog camera for like a minute and my boy was so excited to see her. She made sure to walk and play with him, and topped his water off before leaving. I would definitely book her again!”


“Elizabeth communicated very well and stayed in touch throughout the visit/walk. She was patient and understanding with my dog. Highly recommend.”


“Gracie was very communicative and helpful. She was timely, efficient and even went above and beyond to ensure that Blu was well taken care of. I appreciated her services and would definitely request her services again in the future.”


“Emanuel is so helpful for our dual-mil family, and our pups love him! Thank you!”


About: I treat every pet like family—because they are! I have hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs who need extra patience and care.

Andrea K.
“Andrea has an undeniable love for animals that shines through in every interaction. Her natural connection with cats and dogs, making them feel safe, calm, and cared for.

You can trust that your pet is in excellent hands with Andrea!”


Clayton H.Star Sitter
“I met Clayton through another neighbor a few days after I adopted my dog. I’m working on training him to be a service dog and it wouldn’t be possible without Clayton. My dog wasnt fostered at all and had no leash obedience, within an hour Clayton had him walking on a leash in a heel. Clayton has devoted so much time and effort in making him a better trainer, has a true passion for it, I have not seen a dog not like him. It did not take long at all to see his drive and pick up on his character that I fully trusted him with a key to my apartment to help take care of and train my dog when I went to work. He would be excellent at taking care of dogs and that includes a very high trust in him to go into someone’s residence to take the pet out.”


Rachel S.
“My sister is a truly special person—especially when it comes to Bilbo and Frodo. The way she cares for them goes beyond basic responsibility; it’s clear she loves them like family. Whether she’s out on walks, playing fetch, or just curled up with them on the couch, she brings out the best in both dogs. Bilbo’s curious and affectionate Cavapoo energy and Frodo’s spunky Yorkipoo personality both seem to thrive under her attention and love. She knows each of their quirks—how Bilbo might tilt his head when he’s confused or how Frodo gets that little spark of mischief in his eyes before darting off. And she gives them both the kind of patience, consistency, and affection that all dogs deserve but not all dogs are lucky enough to get. It’s not easy being a great dog mom, but she clearly makes it look natural. Honestly, Bilbo and Frodo hit the jackpot.”


Susan G.
“Susan has regularly watched my animals for 16 years. My 2 corgis and German shepherd love spending time at her house where they are spoiled rotten. She also comes to my house when needed for my cats and fish. They are always happy and content when we get home from our trips. I would recommend Susan for anyone searching for someone to look after their furbabies.”
