1. Mali D.


“Mali took amazing care of my dog Luna, over the Christmas holidays. She walks Luna twice a day, gave her kong with almond butter (which Luna absolutely loves), and spent quality time either with her at home. It was clear that Mali genuinely cared about Luna’s well being and comfort. I felt completely at ease knowing Luna was in such good hands. I highly recommend Mali to anyone looking for a responsible and loving pet sitter! She is great 😊”


2. Mikiah K.

“Mikiah always goes above and beyond! We had a last-minute shift in our plans and had an additional dog that needed walked, and Mikiah was incredibly understanding and flexible. Our dog also had a little accident and he cleaned it up and took care of our home as if it were his. Highly highly recommend Mikiah!”


3. Bridget B.

“Bridget is extremely adept at handling our large dogs (two 90+ pound Great Pyrenees). She maintains excellent control over them but is also very caring and affectionate to them, giving them lots of doggy hugs and "good dog" praises. They very much enjoy being with her! Having a background in the veterinary sciences also means that Bridget has an excellent understanding of animal behavior and physiology. Bridget is extremely responsible, reliable and has a very strong work ethic. We recommend her highly!”


4. Nicole C.

“Nicole helped us out tiring out our high energy puppy and has been a godsend! Thanks to her walks, in one week our puppies' obedience improved dramatically thanks to her spending fun time with someone other than us and releasing the excess energy that was preventing her from concentrating. Will definitely be using her again”


5. Jacob W.
“Jake is such a great caregiver for pets! He stayed with our dog for an entire day and played with him nonstop! He is extremely responsible and I trust that he gives the best care to our dog! When he left he even left on a dog mentally-stimulating show for our dog to stay entertained! His efforts were above and beyond our expectations, and we will definitely be hiring him again!”


6. Mely Witt & J.

“I had such great peace of mind while at work. Clara had long walks, tons of scratches, and someone paying close attention to how she's doing. I was so happy with the experience and will definitely reach out for future walks/dog care!”


7. Mallory H.
“I cannot recommend Mallory enough as a dog sitter! She treated my two dogs like her own, giving them so much love and attention. She made sure they were well-fed, took them to parks, gave them plenty of exercise, and even cared for them for an extended period without any issues. I could tell they felt safe and happy the entire time. She’s incredibly responsible, reliable, and has such a natural love for animals. If you’re looking for someone to care for your pets as if they were her own, Mallory is absolutely the best choice!”


8. Jenna C.

“Jenna is so reliable and always right on time. My pup loves her! I always feel at ease while I’m working long hours and know she’s in good hands.”


9. Julia H.

“Still 10/10 from a repeat customer!”


10. Katelyn B.
“I’ve been using Katelyn for a while now, and I’m really happy with the service. She is always on time, reliable, and clearly cares about my dogs. I get regular updates and photos, which is a nice touch. My dogs come home happy and tired after each walk, and it’s clear that Katelyn takes the time to make each walk enjoyable. Highly recommend!”


11. Adisa H.


“This was my first time using a walker service and Adisa was perfect for the job! She went above and beyond taking care of my pup while I was away. Constantly kept me updated and the pup entertained (with pictures as well) she was very easy to communicate with. Couldn't be happier with her services”


12. Courtney M.

“Courtney has been amazing to work with and my animals adore her. She is timely, professional, communicative and caring - all the things you would want in a pet sitter. i would definitely recommend Courtney!”


13. Christian D.
“I can’t recommend Christian enough for anyone looking for someone to care for their pets like family. His lifelong love for animals and extensive experience with dogs and cats shine through in everything he does. Christian’s genuine affection for animals, paired with his attention to detail and reliability, make him the ideal person to trust with your furry family members. When he cared for my/our dogs over the years it was clear he treated them incredibly. From energetic walks to thoughtful playtime, Christian made sure they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. His background in raising and training his own golden retriever shows in his ability to connect with dogs on a deeper level. If you’re looking for someone who will provide not just care, but love for your pets, Christian is your guy. Your pets will be in the best hands possible!”


14. Steph & Marco W.
“Steph is a fantastic dog caregiver! Not only does she take incredible care of her two pups at home, she’s a go-to pet sitter for many friends. She done nothing but a great job watching my pets over the years. She’s safe and watchful, but also very loving and playful- a dog fan favorite! Anybody would be in great hands having Steph watch their furry friend(s)!”


15. Camryn D.

“Camryn has been walking my dog Raven daily since I fell ill. She is kind and accommodating, but best of all, Raven loves her! I would highly recommend her for walking or sitting!”




16. Karin K.
“Karin is a compassionate, fun and loving Individual who is great with animals!! Karin and her family have a beautiful white lab that loves to play with other pups. You won’t be disappointed with the care your pup will receive.”




17. Cheryl K.

“Cheryl is special to us & to our Toby & Rusty. She was prompt, everyday, they sat at bay window right when she was due! She is so gentle & attentive to them. Thank you Cheryl. Jayne & Bob”

About: I've always had a furry companion in my life. From new beginnings to final goodbyes, I've shared my home with countless dogs—big, small, feisty, sweet ones—it doesn’t matter. Each one holds a special place in my heart. I've also cared for pets belonging to friends and family, always treating them with the same love and attention I’d give my own. Today, I share my life with Tom-Tom, a Brazilian mixed breed who’s more than a pet—she’s my daily companion, my daughter. We adopted her from a shelter and soon discovered she was sick. I cared for her with patience and dedication, sticking to her schedule of medications, vitamins, and, of course, lots of love. But honestly, she’s the one who helped me. Tom-Tom continues to bring joy to my life every single day. At the moment, I'm just studying, so I have plenty of free time to take care of your furry friend! On Wednesday evenings, Saturdays, and Sunday mornings, I volunteer, which is when I leave my dog alone at home for a max of 2 hours — but she's monitored through a camera, with treats and comfy spots to wait for me. I can be out most of the day for walks and playtime. My schedule is flexible, so I can easily adapt to your pet's routine! My apartment is quite spacious, with a balcony that has a railing facing the street. It’s on the third floor and is very secure. It gets plenty of sunlight, and the sun shines in most of the time. I also have a dedicated bathroom area for your pet's needs, with hygiene pads, if that’s something your pet requires. Here, pets have access to the couch, bed, toys, and enrichment items.
