“Carli was great with my little pupster. So was gentle and knew how to make friends with her. She even came through for us on a holiday when I hurt my knee. Carli is very personable, professional and knowledgeable. I would heartily recommend her.”

“Jill has been great with my 3 dogs. My youngest dog, Marley, was a little stand-offish at first. Jill was patient and was able to take him on his walks. They all enjoy getting out with Jill. She is responsive, flexible, and professional. I highly recommend Jill to take care of and walk your pets.”

About: I am a veterinary technician that has a strong love for caring for furr babies inside and outside of the hospital. I am so proud and happy to be the person people can call when their pets need care. Walking, Sitting, Feeding, Administering Mediations, Nail trims, Ear cleans, Baths, you name it! I’m your gal! I am at the hospital from 8:30-5 on all days except Thursday and the weekend. I am available for early morning drop ins, or drop ins after 5 during the working week. On Thursday and weekends I am available all day :) I make sure your pet gets all the extra love when you guys are gone! I make sure food and water bowls are filled before leaving, and I make sure your pet is comfortable for the time being.

About: I’ve been helping friends, neighbors, and family care for their pets since high school. I’ve helped with walks, feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and keeping dogs on their normal routine while their owners were away or busy. I’m responsible, patient, and good at following instructions, so I’ll make sure each pet gets the care and attention they’re used to. I’m currently home for the summer from my master’s program, so my schedule is very flexible. Since I’m not working another job right now, I have plenty of time for walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding, and keeping pets on their normal routine. I’m available most days and can give pets consistent attention throughout the day. I always make sure pets are cared for in a safe, calm, and clean environment. I pay close attention to care instructions, feeding schedules, potty needs, and any rules the owner has for their pet. I’m comfortable keeping dogs on leash during walks, making sure doors and gates are secure, and giving pets space or attention depending on what they need.

“My rescue dog is shy and has some confidence issues about new people. Courtney has been amazing at building up her trust and now my dog loves going for walks with her. I highly recommend Courtney for her skills and expertise and understanding of dogs, especially rescues who need a little extra love.”

“This was our first time having Veronica walk our three dogs separately. She followed our clear instructions for each dog and was able to put a clear cone back on one of your dogs. She responded promptly to our messages and did a great job taking pictures and providing updates for each dog. We recommend using Veronica for your dog-walking needs.”

I am a college student home for summer so I have lots of time to hang out with your pets! I love my own dog so much and want to spread the love to other pets!

About: I'm the go to gal in my friend group to watch or walk a dog! As someone who was raised with and always had dogs I know how important it is to furry parents to know their doggo is well cared for. After a decent career in big tech I've stepped away. I'm focused on enjoying this beautiful twon we call home and I love to get my steps in every day. As I get my mobile notary and travel businesses off the ground this seems like a great way to get outside and help my community! As a homeowner (3 stories) who recently helped her Frenchie over the rainbow bridge I know the importance of making sure all of the processes we have in place to keep pets safe and healthy are followed. It gives you peace of mind knowing your pet is well cared for.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely love, not just a job to me. I’m the kind of person who will happily stop to pet every dog on a walk, remember each pet’s little quirks, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and anxious, or older and needing extra patience, I adapt to their personality and routine so they feel as stress-free as possible. I’m reliable, attentive, and big on communication, so you can expect regular updates, photos, and honest check-ins while your pet is in my care. My goal is always to make pets feel like they’re with a trusted friend, not just a sitter. From long walks and playtime to cuddles on the couch and sticking to feeding or medication schedules, I truly put care and love into every visit. I am looking to fill my summer as much as possible while I am back from school, so I have an extremely open availability for all kinds of care needed! I provide care in my client’s home so pets can stay comfortable in the environment they know best and keep their normal routine. I make sure each pet gets plenty of attention, affection, exercise, playtime, and consistent care based on their individual needs and personality. I also prioritize safety by carefully following feeding instructions, medication schedules, walking guidelines, and any house or pet routines provided by the owner. This especially goes for nighttime vigilance to protect your pets from wildlife. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pet, so I always aim to communicate clearly, provide regular updates and photos, and make sure both pets and owners feel comfortable and at ease.

About: I’ve always had a deep love for dogs and had the honor of caring for my beloved Hershey as she grew older—an experience that taught me so much about patience, empathy, and devoted care. Being her caretaker was one of the most meaningful roles I’ve ever had. Through the years, family and friends trust me with their dogs, knowing I provide more than just physical care—I make sure every pup gets the mental and emotional attention they need to feel safe, loved, and happy. I'm currently not working, which means I get to dedicate my full attention to your beloved pet—alongside my sweet and friendly rescue, Kaiya. We’ll enjoy plenty of walks, visits to the neighborhood dog park, and fun games like hide-and-seek around the house. I also love hiding treats in the backyard for a little extra enrichment and adventure. Your dog will be active, engaged, and cared for all day long! Late Pick-up Policy: Overnight boarding covers a 24-hour period (e.g., 10 AM drop-off to 10 AM pick-up next day). If pick-up is more than 2 hours after that window, an additional daycare fee will be added manually. I have a fenced yard and a nice grass area for your pup can run and play freely. I also have my own sweet floof ball that will be here to provide fun, companionship, and plenty of tail wags to keep your furry friend entertained and happy!

About: Growing up I've taken care of my family's dogs, at the moment my family has three dogs; an American Eskimo, a Eurasier, and a mini Australian Shepard. I love all animals at the moment I have a leopard gecko named Cyrus! I can provide walks on a strict/loose scheduled basis, cater to feeding times with routines/extra steps, I can offer space and quiet to older dogs/skittish dogs, I'm able to provide play time to those who have high energy dogs as well. At the moment I work Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays usually in the mornings. My schedule varies from week to week, but don't be afraid to reach out! I will do my best to accommodate you! As a house sitter I plan to care for your fur baby. If your dogs needs a walk or two a day, brushing, meal times, and play time I am able to offer. I truly want your pet to feel safe in their home while I am there. I don't want to overstep boundaries of both you or your fur baby.

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up in a home with dogs and have spent my entire life around them, caring for, understanding, and building strong bonds with animals of all sizes and personalities. I was fortunate to share 16 wonderful years with my own dog, which gave me firsthand experience in every stage of a dog's life—from playful puppy years to senior care. With over 15 years of hands-on experience, I understand the importance of patience, safety, exercise, and genuine companionship. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, young, or senior, I provide attentive and reliable care while treating every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to ensure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and happy during every walk and visit." My schedule is very flexible, and I'm happy to work around your needs whenever possible. A 1–2 day notice is always appreciated, as it allows me to plan my schedule and provide the best care for your pet." 🐶🐾 When caring for pets in a client's home, I always respect the owner's instructions and routines. I make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well supervised at all times. I pay close attention to doors, gates, leashes, food instructions, and any special needs to ensure your pet remains secure. I also treat every home with the utmost respect, keeping everything clean and organized while providing dependable and professional care.

“Super helpful, very reliable, great care.”
