“Ryan was absolutely fantastic to work with. He was very detailed on how his and Luna's walks went. He was very attentive to her and made sure she had plenty of play time and pets. I will definitely be booking walks with him in the future”

About: (They/them) I’m a huge animal lover and pro cuddler. I have lived around dogs for pretty much my whole life. I got my own dog when I was 10 and took care of him for many years. I took care of my most recent dog (shelter adopted!) for the past four years. I have taken dog training classes as well. I also have experience taking care of cats and currently care for my own cat. I will make sure to give lots of love and care to your fur babies! I also am a great pet photographer and will take many great photos of your pets during my stay that you can use as your phone background (literally have had a client do this before!). You can swipe through my photos to see! I have a regular 9-5 but I mostly work remotely so I tend to have a good amount of availability during the week and on the weekends. I can also stay overnight for house sitting if needed. Generally, I do sometimes have commitments that might leave me out of the house for 4-6 hours in a day so if your pet needs constant 24/7 care, I may not be the best fit. Each dog and cat is different so I don’t have a one-size-fits-all approach to sitting or walking. So, my approach is to make sure I have all the information possible on how your unique pet needs to be cared for. When I get a request, my first goal is to get to know your dog/cat and their personality and needs. I get to know what kind of attention they want (and don’t want), how they cope with stress, and how I can make them the most happy, comfortable, and safe with the resources at hand. Then, I do my best to care for them with that information. I want to care for them in exactly the same way you would or even better.
About: I am truly a dog lover with years of experience walking, feeding, and caring for dogs of various sizes and personalities. I am dedicated to treating your furry family member like my very own, ensuring they receive the highest level of care, comfort, and companionship. My schedule is highly open and flexible to provide consistent, dedicated support whenever your pet needs it most. The only exception is a brief daily window from 12:00 PM to 12:30 PM for a recurring client. Because I strictly provide one-on-one care and never mix dogs from different households, your pet is guaranteed my full, undivided attention during their walk. Taking care of your furry friend is the highlight of my day! I am a timely, organized, and consistent person. I am able to follow all instructions, routine, and accommodate your schedule so you feel supported. I provide safety, comfort, and care for your pet! My attention is always 100% your dog and our surroundings. During walks, I always keep your dog securely leashed, and I do not permit interactions with other dogs to ensure a controlled, stress-free environment.
“Kayleigh has walked my dog Lyla several times. My dog usually barks and growls a lot when new people come into our home, but Kayleigh was so patient and respectful of her space. She provided detailed reports with pictures and took great care of our girl. Recommend her 100%!”
“Cathy is awesome! She really understands dogs and their needs. During the very hot weekend we just had, she knew when to shorten a walk for the safety of our puppy and had much needed snuggle time instead. Very professional and I love that she used Rover to send pictures, let us know when she arrived and left, and what generally happened on their walk and time together. She was also very accommodating by communicating with another person who was staying in our home while we were away. We will be using her services in the future!”
“Barbara was very attentive and punctual. She walked, fed and cuddled with Zelda during their time together. Would l highly recommend and can’t wait for the next time.”
About: I have had dogs my entire life and spent of much of my personal time learning about different breeds and pet care. I also volunteered at a shelter for four years and have experience grooming in a professional setting. I have dog sat for many families in the area and have experience with senior dogs, puppies, and special needs dogs, as well as cats. I am currenty working on an as needed basis and can set my own schedule, so I can plan my time around your babies' needs. I try to keep care and routine as similar as possible to your pet's typical day. I also try to give as much extra TLC as possible because I know your babies miss you and need some extra love!
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life from Chihuahuas to German Shepards. I prefer low to medium energy dogs (I love my seniors!) but will make an exception for the right fit. I will send as many photos or updates as you’d like. I handle all clients professionally and my reviews reflect that. Can’t wait to meet you! I work from home so I’m easily able to slip away and do a midday check in or walk. I will be walking to all locations so they must be within 1 mile from my address (Lawrence x Campbell) My senior boy recently passed away but I have two more pups (border collie and min pin mix). I will not be offering services at my place.
About: Hi, I’m Susan, a lifelong dog lover with over 40 years of experience caring for pups of all kinds and ages, from playful puppies to sweet seniors. I offer safe, loving in-home boarding and daycare for small breeds (typically 30 lbs and under), with a special affection for terriers. I provide a calm, cozy home environment where dogs are treated like family and receive lots of attention, affection, playtime, and walks. My Westie, Isla, is friendly, social, and loves having dog friends over—especially other small and medium-sized pups with gentle, playful personalities. While I primarily care for smaller dogs, I may accept select medium-sized dogs on a case-by-case basis depending on temperament, leash manners, and overall fit with Isla and my home environment. I currently offer boarding and daycare primarily Fridays through Mondays, with Thursday evening drop-offs available after 7:00 pm for longer weekend stays. This schedule allows me to provide focused, attentive care and maintain a relaxed environment for every dog in my home. Whether your pup is staying for a night, a long weekend, or recurring daycare visits, I’ll do everything I can to help them feel comfortable, happy, and loved while you’re away. Caring for dogs is a natural and joyful part of my daily life. Since I work from home, I have the flexibility to structure my day around the needs of the dogs in my care. My routine includes regular walks, indoor and outdoor play sessions, and lots of cuddle time. Whether we’re tossing a ball in the living room, enjoying a quiet break together, or following a familiar feeding schedule, I strive to make each dog feel safe, loved, and truly at home. Weekends follow the same routine, so your pup will enjoy a calm, consistent environment every day of the week. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I provide a clean, secure, and pet-friendly home where every pup is treated like family. I closely supervise all interactions—especially during introductions—and keep the environment low-stress by hosting no more than one or two dogs at a time. My own dog, Isla, a friendly, well-socialized three-year-old West Highland Terrier, offers wonderful canine companionship and helps other dogs feel welcome. You can trust that your dog will be in attentive, experienced, and loving hands throughout their stay.
“Whitney was absolutely amazing! She was flexible to my changing schedules and she is always available to help out with your fur baby. My dog Fiona enjoyed her walks with Whitney and I got wonderful report cards with pictures of their walk. From Fiona’s reaction to see Whitney, I could tell that she has a very loving heart towards your pet. Whitney is extremely reliable and a wonderful person. I highly recommend her. Thanks Whitney from Fiona and me! ?”
“Oliver is so gentle and kind-hearted! He's always on time, extremely flexible, and perfectly follows instructions. He makes it so easy to leave my dog in his care, and I have full confidence whenever she's with him that she's safe and happy. Her delighted reaction whenever he comes over to pick her up is the only 5⭐ review that anyone will ever need!”

Sophia is the absolute best, I could not recommend her more. This is the second booking she’s looked after our puppy Poppy and she’s been fabulous every time. Poppy was spayed 3 days ago, and Sophia got her to take all her pills (no small feat as our girl is very squirmy) and is incredibly patient, caring, and attentive. We are so thrilled to know Sophia and she is our go-to for puppy care.
Kayleigh was very responsive and flexible. She was able effectively walk our stubborn dog Winston and provided great care for him on a hot day outdoors by making sure he drank water and took breaks. She was also thorough in her feedback. I would definitely use her services again in the near future!
Meg did an awesome job taking my dog for a few walks this week. From our meet and greet to her thoughtful messages and walk summaries, I can tell Meg is so caring with the pets she watches. I was so appreciative she reached out and was able to come over before a storm started to keep my dog company for a little while :) Thanks so much Meg!
Allene has been a fantastic dog walker - communicative, punctual, and great positive energy for Rango - he always nearly wags his tail off when she arrives to take him! Allene does a nice recap at the end of the walk to let us know what the walk was like and what Rango was up to. We’re happy to have Allene booked for recurring walks with Rango and know he’s in great hands!
Abigail has been so great and such a huge help to us! She’s been walking our puppy and checking on our senior cat. She’s very communicative and quick to respond and takes great pictures! We will continue to use Abigail’s services confidently for both of our pets.
Joel is great dog trainer and his work with Enzo helped me to overcome increasingly stressful walks with Enzo. He is mainly working on leash pooling and to take treats gently as of right now. It is work in progress, but I see improvements. Joel is responsive and helpful.
Cierra has been wonderful with my dog, Mishti. She clearly cares about the dogs she works with and always goes above and beyond. Mishti loves her walks, and I really appreciate how attentive and observant Cierra is—she has even noticed unusual changes in Mishti's bowel movements and brought them to my attention right away. She also takes the time to brush Mishti, so her visits are much more than just a walk. Cierra is kind, reliable, and genuinely cares about Mishti's well-being. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and trustworthy dog walker.
