“It was such a reassuring and pleasant experience having Ted look after our dog. Communications were very smooth throughout and I know Jasper enjoyed the time spent with him. Thanks Ted!”

About: I grew up with a wonderful medium sized beagle who I helped take care of. Then 2 years ago I adopted 2 small wonderful bunnies. I start work late in the day. So I am available in the mornings and afternoons to pet sit or provide walks if needed during the day. I am willing to go to a clients home and walk the dogs or provide company or potty breaks to a pet. I have a reliable car.
“The PERFECT dog sitter!!! I would highly recommend Abigail. She walked my dog twice a day for 6 weeks while I recovered from surgery. I could not have made it without her. She is 100% trust worthy and dependable. I would have no problem with her staying at my house for overnights. Her medical knowledge is a big plus for aging dogs. I give her 10 stars!! You will be very pleased if you use her. She was very loving to my dog and took extra time for walks. We will miss her!!”

About: Hi there! I’m Alec — a lifelong dog lover and experienced handler with a special place in my heart for working breeds. I share my life with Jupiter, a shepherd-husky mix. Through training him, I’ve gained extensive experience with high-drive, reactive dogs and understand the patience, structure, and consistency they need to thrive. I know it can be so hard to find caregivers who understand higher energy dogs, and I want to give you the confidence to enjoy your time away from home and your pup. I treat every dog like my own — with empathy, respect, and a good dose of playtime. I currently work part time. I only accept reservations on days I do not work in order to give your pet the attention they fully deserve. I prioritize safety, structure, and calm energy in every home. I tailor routines to each dog’s needs, keep environments secure to build trust. Whether walking, feeding, or supervising play, I’m attentive and proactive—especially with energetic or reactive dogs who need patience and consistency. Although I'm happy to walk and drop-in with dogs who exhibit dog aggression, your dog must be non aggressive to board with me.

I aim to maintain consistency and minimize any disruptions to their daily routines as much as possible.

About: I like to stay active and also care for a very athletic dog (I’m the family go-to pet sitter).

I’m currently a student and work part-time, but I’m never busier for more than an hour at a time and will have frequent breaks to care for your pet. I’m able to dog walk and make in home visits if needed. I’m a big believer that animals need stimulation throughout the day so I’m more than happy to take them on a walk, make them a snack, or just hang out with them as company.

I want to ensure that your dog is comfortable and following yours and theirs normal schedule and ways. Please let me know any necessary safety guards or information needed to keep your dog safe and healthy in your home/yard or on walks.
“Amber was absolutely wonderful with my dog! He always wants to go on walks but can’t always make it the whole way around the block. Amber noticed when he needed a break and lovingly picked him up and carried him until he was ready to walk again. She was so gentle and attentive. She truly went above and beyond. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and thoughtful walker!”

Ted is absolutely fantastic. It’s always hard to leave our senior dog with someone new and Ted is truly wonderful with her. While we were out enjoying time with visiting family, my husband expressed how relieved he was that Ted was looking in on our old girl for us.
