My dog Cali loves Jackie and her daughter. She responded really quickly when I needed a new dog walker and was really easy to communicate with and quickly met for a meet and greet. Cali loves her weekly walks with Jackie!

About: I have experience with dog walking, pet sitting ( cats included) & medication administration. Some training available. I love all animals. Rest assured your pet is in good hands. I am currently a home maker with a lot of availability to care for your fur babies. I have years of experience with dog walking and pet sitting. Allow me to care for your pets when you can not. Services at my home are not permitted at this time. Perhaps this can be something to look forward to in the future. I am available for dog walking, drop in visits, and house sitting. I’ll love your pet as much as you do.

About: While I’m beginning my professional pet care journey, I’ve been around animals my entire life — including cats, dogs, turtles, and more — and I’m very comfortable providing loving, compassionate, high-quality care. I’m intuitive, empathetic, detail-oriented, and a strong communicator, which I believe are all important qualities when caring for animals. I understand how important it is to place your pets in trustworthy hands, and I’ll always treat your fur babies with the same love, patience, and attention I would want for my own. I’m not just there to complete tasks — I genuinely love animals and enjoy bonding with them, making sure they feel loved, comforted, and cared for while their humans are away. Whether your pet needs a fun, active environment or a calm and relaxing space, I’m happy to accommodate their unique personality and needs to help them feel happy, safe and comfortable while in my care. Thank you for considering me! If you have any questions, feel free to reach out. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! :) I have a very flexible schedule as someone who creates my own work hours, which allows me to accommodate many different schedules and give your pet plenty of attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. I care for your pets in your home with the same love, attention, and respect that I would give my own. I greet them warmly and offer plenty of pets, cuddles, affection, and companionship based on their individual personality and comfort level. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, clean litter boxes, playtime, and any additional accommodations or care requested. For pets who require walks, I ensure they are safely harnessed and comfortable while allowing them time to explore and sniff at their own pace. I stay attentive to their surroundings, prioritize their safety around other animals, and make sure they remain comfortable in all weather conditions — never too hot or too cold. My goal is always to help your pets feel safe, cared for, relaxed, and loved while you’re away. :)

About: As the proud owner of 2 Goldendoodles and 2 cats, caring for animals is already a big part of my daily life. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I'm reliable, patient, and genuinely love spending time with animals. Whether your pet needs a fun walk, extra playtime, or a calm and caring companion while you're away, I'll provide the same level of care and attention that I give my own pets every day. My goal is to make both you and your pet feel comfortable, confident, and cared for. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. As a pet owner to 2 Goldendoodles and 2 cats, I am used to providing regular walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of attention every day. During the school year, I am available before and after work, as well as evenings and weekends. During school breaks, holidays, and summer, I have much more flexibility for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. I am organized, reliable, and committed to making sure pets receive consistent care and companionship while their owners are away. The safety, comfort, and well-being of every pet are my top priorities. I take time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and any special needs so I can provide consistent, individualized care. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, I follow all instructions carefully regarding feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and household rules. As a pet owner of 2 Goldendoodles and 2 cats, I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy caring for your furry family members. I provide plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection while ensuring pets are always supervised and secure. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can feel confident and connected while they're away. My goal is to create a safe, stress-free environment where pets feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for.

We’ve been lucky enough to have Arlene as our dog walker for the past year, and she’s truly even better than all the glowing reviews say! Our pup is the sweetest, but also pretty anxious, and Arlene understood her right from the start. We completely trust her with our dog’s safety and care, and she always keeps us in the loop with real-time updates. Plus, she shares thoughtful tips and suggestions that really make a difference. We are so grateful to have found her!

About: I love all kinds of dogs, no matter what shape or size! I have 5 years of experience both puppy-sitting and dog-sitting for family and friends, from 10lbs to over 100! I am able to accommodate any special needs your dog has, including medications. I will make sure to recognize any limitations that your dog has. For example, I’ve dog-sat dogs with arthritis and reactive pups as well. In addition, I am willing to adapt according to your pup’s regular schedule. I have a fenced backyard but I am willing and able to do multiple daily walks and enjoy playing with and entertaining them as well. My goal is to make both you and your furry friend happy! I am currently working from home! I have a flexible schedule, so if your dog has time based specific needs I will be able to meet them. I have no other animals and a fenced backyard. I have one set of front stairs that your dog will need to be able to climb unless they are small enough to carry! I don’t mind dogs on my furniture.

About: I’ve shared my life with dogs for as long as I can remember — from energetic puppies to mellow seniors. I have worked with dogs of different temperaments and am happy to accommodate anything that makes your pup feel safe and confident. I understand their different personalities, routines, and little quirks that make each one special. Whether your pup needs long walks, energetic playtime, or calm company while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel happy, safe, and loved. Think of me as their second-best friend when you can’t be there! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have ample time and love spending it with animals. I’m flexible throughout the day, so I can give pets the attention, walks, feeding, and playtime they need without rushing. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, so I make it a priority in my schedule every day and week. I am happy to work with you for what suits your needs! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure they feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow each pet’s usual routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions. I give them plenty of attention and affection, and I always keep the home tidy and secure during my visits. I also send regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel at ease knowing their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away.

Jessica is AMAZING! She’s very knowledgeable, thoughtful, and clearly passionate about what she does. When our Maxy was having unexpected stranger-danger issues, she took the time to ask many questions about his past and possible triggers. She took all of the info I gave her, came up with a plan to help remedy the situation, and even gave me suggestions. We’re so grateful for her!
