About: I know all of the forest trails and beautiful walking paths in LF and nearby. Your dog will be very stimulated by the sights and smells on these hikes. I am retired and can accommodate all schedules. Also, I’m a big man so I can easily care for and hike with dogs of all sizes. Whatever care or attention your pet needs, I can do. I have had cats and dogs all of my life. I am familiar with the nature of most pure-breds and all mutts.
About: I've taken care of animals of all kinds my whole life. You name it, I've had it as a pet! I'm ready to handle any special requests your furbaby may need. I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to take care of your pet. I'm especially available on the weekends and in the evening. While I don't allow your pets to come to my home (I have a very particular tuxedo cat myself), I'm happy to hang out with your pet in your home or take them on walks!
“Diana was prompt, responsive and reliable! She was great to work with and I felt so much relief leaving my pets in good hands while I was away. Thank you Diana! Will absolutely rebook soon”
About: I grew up with cats and dogs since birth and lived in a neighborhood where nearly every family had dogs and they would all play together. I’m familiar with many kinds of dogs and love playing with and walking them. I recently moved to the area and I am looking for jobs in the pharmaceutical industry, I am very flexible currently and have a car. I will follow care instructions from the owners and take suggestions on walking paths their dog likes, otherwise I love exploring new areas to walk.
About: Hi, I’m Christine! I’ve been a devoted pet parent for over 30 years, and my love for animals is truly at the heart of everything I do. From playful pups to curious cats and every animal in between, I believe each furry (or feathery!) friend deserves love, care, and a whole lot of fun. I currently have an 8 year old Plott Hound who is recovering from her second TPLO surgery. I spend devoted time with her every day completing her physical therapy exercises and doing all I can to optimize her recovery and golden years ahead. She has been a major part of my life and we have had lots of adventures together! She has road-tripped with me to 21 different states and lived for 6 years in the high desert mountains of AZ. I pride myself on being patient, flexible, and truly attentive to every animal’s individual needs. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll or a playful adventure, I can’t wait to be a part of your pet’s journey! I am a certified wellness instructor and make my own client schedule- so- I have lots of flexibility and can work with most client’s individual needs. I am flexible and adaptive to each individual pet’s needs and environment. I love walking and am happy to give extra time to take in the sniffs- or enjoy a snuggle!
About: I have been watching my neighbors dogs for the past 17 years. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and ages. Since I am young and active, I can take your dog on walks and provide plenty of exercise throughout the day. Additionally, I can provide overnight sitting and ensure your house looks occupied. I am more than happy to bring in your mail/packages, water your plants, adjust the blinds, turn on and off lights, bring garbage cans to the curb (and back) for trash pick up. I have a cat of my own named Oliver so I also have years of experience with cat care! I can come check on your feline friend and will feed, refresh water, play, and clean the litter box as needed. I am very free during the summer. During the week I can stop by anytime during the day, as well as provide overnight care. I am also free most weekends. I understand it is hard to leave your furry friend so I really do go out of my way to put pet owner's at ease. I will consistently provide updates and photos so you know you are in good hands.
“Shannon was extremely reliable and great with our dog. We had no issues and she was really pleasant to work with. We will definitely be hiring her again whenever we need help watching/walking our dog!”
“Sheryl is amazing!!! We have a 90 lb lab, and she handled him beautifully! Browser had such an instant positive reaction to Sheryl that we knew she was the right person. Sheryl came same day with almost no notice - I had just gotten out of the hospital and needed someone to walk Browser. She is used to handling large dogs and it showed. Great communication skills, very personable. We will definitely continue to use Sheryl - what a great find!!”
“Faith did an awesome job and our fur buddy loved her too!! She is clearly very knowledgeable about dealing with bigger dogs and what questions to ask. Very happy with her services and will definitely use her again!!”

“Elizabeth did a great job. Ella is a little bit of a problem dog for walkers. She is a rescue so is protective of her home and doesn’t like to leave the yard unless with me. Elizabeth got her to walk around enough to pee at least in the yard. Next time we hope a little better, out the drive and down the street a little. 🦮”
