Roy is a family favorite. He’s so good with Kobe and really took his time given that our pup wasn’t feeling good after some treatment at the vet.

Amanda was fantastic! She treated my fur babies like they were her own. She was incredibly accommodating and helpful and professional. I felt completely at ease knowing she would be caring for my pets. She even went above and beyond by allowing me to borrow her doggie stroller for my elderly and blind doggie to use so he wouldn’t feel left out when they went for a walk with my younger dog. I highly recommend her services and I will definitely ask for her services again in the future.

I contacted Justin pretty last minute due to a change in my schedule and he was able to accommodate a walk for my dog the following day. He came within the allotted timeframe, played with my dog after her walk, and even managed to say hi to my cats. Thank you!

Christine was an excellent walker for our dog Bella. She came over the day before to meet her, was exactly on time for her walk and sent to a of pictures even including some of our jealous kitty who doesn’t get to go outside! She was accommodating when I plugged in the wrong time and again when I had to cut my trip short due to my daughter getting ill. I will absolutely use Christine in the future!

Meredith came by for a meet and greet with Oreo prior to the actual day. My pup loved Meredith’s attention. She took him to the backyard for sunbathing, walked him nearby and also watered the potted plants and planter boxes in our backyard. We will be keeping Meredith in mind when we have need of her assistance.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs since before I could remember! They’ve always been a part of my life, but I take extra care and gone the extra mile. So much so that I now volunteer to rescue pups and fly them to their new home! Check out my profile to see more. I would love to meet your furry family members and give them all the attention! I’m currently a full time flight instructor, but I benefit from making my own schedule. So I can make time for you and your family when you need me most! I’m very attentive to pets and I’m very aware of pets’ needs. Having been around animals my whole life, I have a good understanding of their mood and their needs. If they’re in a playful mood then sign me up! But when your bestie needs some time to themselves to ponder the meaning of chasing one’s tail, I totally get it and give them their space.

About: I have had pets growing up and enjoy them and their company. Oddly enough while walking anywhere if there is an animal it will approach me. My wife says I have "Disney Princess" skills. I have two dogs that I care for everyday throughout the day, however, for others my evenings are the best times to during the week, and anytime during the weekend. I ensure I have a clean home, and monitor what my dogs are around to include knowing what can and cannot come into the house. Having a safe and clean environment allows for a helathy life for pets who are family.

About: My family has always been a pet family, so I have been taking care of animals my entire life. In recent years, one of my pastimes has been walking dogs at shelters in order to meet their exercise needs. From big to small I have walked them all. I am currently a university student on summer break. My mornings to mid afternoons are free to take care of your pets. Weekends are also available. I am respectful of others homes and their preferences regarding their pets. Please let me know if you have any specific requests or things to avoid when taking care of your previous companion.

About: I’ve always loved animals and spent the past year interning at Front Street Animal Shelter, where I gained hands on experience caring for dogs and learning more about animal behavior, safety, and daily care routines. During my internship, I worked with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, which helped me become patient, attentive, and comfortable handling pets with different needs. I’m passionate about providing a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. I have an extremely flexible schedule, as I primarily work closing shifts at Chipotle. This allows me to be available from mornings through late afternoons on most days, making it easy for me to provide consistent, reliable care for pets. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment for every pet in my care. I always follow the owner's instructions closely and make sure pets are supervised, comfortable, and secure at all times. My experience at an animal shelter has taught me how to read animal behavior, respond calmly in different situations, and create a low-stress environment for pets of all personalities. I treat every pet as if they were my own and aim to build trust with both pets and their owners through reliable, attentive care.

About: My name is T’Niya, but you can call me Tea! I have the most experience with birds, dogs, and cats. I love that each animal has it’s own personality and boundaries, and Im beyond willing to give the respect and patience needed to build trust. I’ve cared for newborn pups, and Im no stranger to households with many species cohabiting. My last pet was a bulldog who was used for breeding and neglected. I cared for her until she passed. This experience has made me even more passionate about animal care than before. I have a very flexible schedule, with Mondays and Tuesdays completely off. However, if you need early morning or late evening care, I’m always free before 9 am and after 9 pm. If you need specific days or dates, please let me know and I’ll see what I can do! I’d love to build a schedule that works for both of us. Coming into your home, I’ll make sure to become familiar with your animal(s) set up. I’d love to introduce myself with an owner-approved treat. I love lists! I’d appreciate if you left me a list of reminders or suggestions, as you know your pet best. I have no problem sending videos or photos of your pet throughout the day!

About: I grew up with both cats and dogs, so animals have always been a central part of my life. I currently share my home with 2 cats and a dog, so I understand the unique needs and personalities of both species. I'm experienced with feeding routines, exercise, playtime, and ensuring pets feel safe and comfortable whether at home or in a new environment. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I already care for my own 2 cats and a dog every day. I'm home regularly and happy to incorporate your pet into our household schedule, including walks, feeding times, and plenty of attention throughout the day. Your pet will be in a warm, experienced home with two friendly cats and a dog for company. I grew up with pets and know how to create a safe, calm environment. I'm attentive to each animal's boundaries and always make sure introductions are gradual and stress-free.

About: I have been an animal lover my entire life. When I was 8 years I care for and found homes for 2 liters of puppies for a neighbor. I have cared for all breeds shapes and sizes of fur and not so furry babies. All breeds welcome! ❤️ I’m a stay at home mom so my schedule is pretty open. I will have my tiny animal lover with me unless that that does not work for you. I can make other arrangements for her. ❤️ I have a home with a big yard on corner lot for day care or overnight care✨🌙. There are two very old smedium dogs that don’t get up much. I have baby gates up throughout the house so if anyone feels more comfortable in a section of the house they can have their own separate suite.

Hannah was amazing with my dad's dog mollie. Mollie is a cocker spaniel who needed medications and a walk. Since my dad was in his 90s, he could not provide this. Hannah was patient and flexible and the consistent meds and walks made mollie a healthier dog that provided great comfort to my dad in his final days.

Marisa did a great job with our dog Ryu! We made a fairly last minute request and she responded quickly and came over for a meet and greet the following day. She asked good questions about his behavior, we could tell she cared and wanted to be prepared. Ryu took to Marisa and she both walked him and played with him in the backyard, he loves tug of war. We’ll definitely hire Marisa again next time we need help with Ryu!

Myishia walked our Diego multiple times this past weekend, and I truly could not have asked for a better experience. She was incredibly communicative the entire time, which gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. Her energy is so warm and sweet, and Diego immediately took to her. You can tell she has a genuine love for dogs. I was especially impressed by her philosophy of leading with kindness and giving back through the way she cares for animals. She didn’t just show up to do a job; she took the time to earn Diego’s trust, and it showed. We felt completely comfortable knowing he was in her care. We will absolutely be using her again anytime we travel. Highly recommend.
