I'll definitely book Jackie again. It's hard to leave your pup in the hands of someone you just met, but Jackie made us feel that Cooper was in good hands. We appreciated her consideration and care with him.

About: I've had dogs of all sorts growing up - from small to giant breed dogs, from labradors to livestock guardians intent on guarding their house from every falling leaf. I've fostered dogs, successfully, and I am now caring for the foster fail permanently. From walks to games to basic care, taking care of dogs is my passion. I work from home with flexible hours, enabling me to accomadte your schedule, whether it's walks while you're away or busy grinding through your daily routine. I'm available any day of the week. I have a fenced yard, and two dogs at home. My pets generally get two walks a day and can play or sit outside enjoying the weather, especially the snow.

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.

Andrea was great meeting both my pups for the first time! She asked questions about needs and anything important that would be helpful for walks or interactions with other animals/people. Introducing new people to a household can be stressful sometimes on pets, and my older pet can get protective. However, Andrea was super patient and understanding when it came to my slow introduction process. I appreciate her time and love for pets!

Erin is absolutely incredible!!! We have two amazing pups, one who is a nervous, recent rescue. Our newer girl was struggling with a different walker, snapping and growling at each visit. Within minutes of meeting Erin, our little lady had clearly welcomed Erin into the fold. Erin is helping our girl to settle into life and gain more confidence with each walk! I would recommend Erin to anyone!!!!

About: I have had dogs in my life from a very young age and have worked in both a vet clinic and a boarding kennel doing both basic care and doggie daycare. I am familiar with many common ailments affecting dogs as well as specialized diets and administering medicine. I have also done basic grooming on dogs such as baths, brush outs and nail trims. As part of all this, I'm not easily grossed out by the smelly and messy things common to pet care. I firmly believe pets are a part of the family and deserve to be given just as much love and respect as people! I'm a fan of all sizes and breeds and would love to help care for your pet as if they were my own.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of patience, attention, and genuine care I give every pet. I understand that every dog or cat has their own personality and routine, and I make it a priority to learn what makes them feel comfortable and happy. I’m great with young pets and can help reinforce basic training like potty routines, leash manners, and positive behavior through consistency and patience. I’m also very gentle and attentive with senior pets, making sure they get the slower pace, comfort, and any special care they need. I’m very reliable and communicative, and I love sending updates and photos so owners feel at ease while they’re away. My goal is to treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for the entire time. I’m currently very flexible with my schedule, which allows me to accommodate last-minute bookings and give your pet the time and attention they deserve. While on a walk or simply just being in the house i am always making sure i am attentive to your fur baby, especially if small i make sure to have a fenced area for them to play in.

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!

Michael was great with Rocky. My father had hip surgery two weeks ago so it's a load of stress off my mind that we found someone that can help when my brother or myself are not available. Michael was prompt and professional and sent pics while out on their walks. Rocky really likes him! Will definitely be using again! Thanks Michael!

Joshua is outstanding with Kaido. He is expert at handling our dog and he is prompt and courteous and very respectful. Our dog has only been on two walks so far with Joshua and already when I mention Joshua‘s name, our dog is excited and looks at his leash and runs to the window. It is clear that Joshua has experience and expertise with handling larger dogs. I feel like we found “The dog whisperer”
