“I can’t say enough good things about Trevor! From the very beginning, he went above and beyond to make my dogs feel comfortable with him. He showed incredible patience, especially with one of my pups who can be a little shy around new people. It was clear right away how great he is with animals — calm, attentive, and genuinely caring. He followed every single instruction, which gave me so much peace of mind. I could tell my dogs absolutely loved him — their tails were wagging nonstop when he arrived, and they came back from their walks happy and relaxed. It’s not always easy to find someone you fully trust with your pets and I’ll definitely be using his services again in the future. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Rose is fantastic with our dog. Kind, prompt, and compassionate. He’s not the most active guy and can be stubborn and Rose has embraced it all. We are so lucky to have found her.”
About: I bring a lifelong love of animals and a wide range of hands-on experience. I grew up caring for animals of all kinds, have walked dogs and supported adoptions in shelter environments, and have provided reliable in-home care through years of house sitting. I’ve also lived with and fostered cats for most of my life—including young, feral, and undersocialized ones—which has given me a strong intuition for reading animal behavior and offering calm, compassionate care. I'm skilled in administering all types of medications and am happy to handle the day-to-day tasks, from walks to litter box deep cleans, with real care and attention. As a self-employed person with a very flexible schedule, I’m able to accommodate pet care throughout the week—including weekdays, evenings, and weekends. This allows me to tailor my availability to meet the specific needs of each pet and household, whether it’s daily visits, drop-ins, or walks at off-peak hours. When boarding cats in my home, I provide a calm, private room just for them—completely separate from my own cats—to ensure they feel safe and stress-free during their stay. In a client’s home, I’m attentive to any specific routines or safety needs, including crating dogs if requested. I always prioritize a pet’s comfort and well-being, keeping their environment clean, secure, and aligned with what they're used to.

“Serge is a dedicated, timely, pleasant dog walker and we will definitely reach out to him again next time I’m in the hospital. He did great with my service dog and I felt safe with him. And most importantly my dog loved him! Thank you!!!!”

Emily was amazing with my dog Fenway! She was super attentive to his needs, gave thoughtful updates, and sent great photos that put my mind at ease. It was clear she really cared about making him comfortable and happy. I’d absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate walker!
Thank you, Jeremy! I unexpectedly had to take my dog to work. I jumped onto the app to see if there was any chance someone could take him for a walk for an hour. Jeremy saved the day! He immediately responded, showed up when he said he would, even found my office (and few can lol) and a nice walking trail nearby. He is professional, easy to talk "dog" with and helped my dog (and me) have a much better day.
Molly is the best! She's been walking my dog a few times a week when I'm at work for the last 4 years. She's very communative and very flexible with schedule changes. She has such a lovely relationship with my dog, and often brings her little squeaky toys to add to her porch collection. I'm a public school teacher, so my schedule changes in the summer and I don't need walks during that time. Molly is super understanding of this and still eager to start back up with us in the fall when school starts again. I can't recommend her enough!!

You can’t always predict a super busy day at work, but you can anticipate your dog’s needs. Instead of rushing home at lunch, book a dog walker to give your dog a 30- or 60-minute dog walk.

- Start and stop times
- A map of their walk with total distance
