About: Our dogs are the new children, and that’s why I know it’s beyond difficult to trust anyone with your four legged babies. You will never need to worry about that with me. I treat all animals as if they were my own babies and make sure to cater to each animal’s needs and preferences. Apart from having two puppers of my own - a 70 lb Goldendoodle and a 15 lb Havapoo - I volunteer at an animal shelter where I’ve worked with dogs off all shapes and sizes, and all with their own quirks. I am comfortable walking your 110 lb Great Dane or your 8 lb toy poodle. I welcome and love them all. I’m happy to take your dog out on walks, to the park, or just give them love and attention. My goal is to make your life worry free and keep your doggy happy while you are away from one another. I currently work from home full time M-F and have a good flexibility to do drop ins or house sitting. I’m also very flexible and can accept last minute bookings. When in your home or walking your dog, I’m prioritizing your dog’s safety above all. I will never allow your dog to be approached by unfamiliar animals without your consent or allow them to be off leash in unsecured areas. I want them to be happy, comfortable, and safe at all times.
“Xavier was great! He was on time and patient. I have two dogs with special needs and Xavier took care of them with no issue. He sent plenty of pictures and they clearly were very well taken care of. He was communicative and very helpful!”
“Daisy trusted Michelle the moment she met her and is so happy when she drops in for her visits. She is very attentive to her needs, responds quickly to my messages and is flexible with me. She has a very calming demeanor to her which is exactly what my anxious Daisy needs. Highly recommend!”
“Jinghong was a life saver! We had a last minute request and she worked with us to make it work and even made time for a meet and greet!! She gave multiple updates and made us feel comfortable trusting her with our pup. Cannot recommend enough!!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for years through family and friends, and I’m always the person they trust to watch their pets. I genuinely love animals, and dogs tend to feel comfortable with me very quickly. I have experience with small and medium-sized dogs, and I’m comfortable adapting to different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I’m especially patient with more anxious or sensitive dogs. I have an anxious dog of my own, which has taught me how to read body language, build trust, and create a calm, safe environment. I’m very attentive and detail-oriented, so I always follow care instructions closely, whether it’s feeding schedules, medications, or specific routines. I can also help reinforce basic training like leash manners and structure during walks. My goal is to make every dog feel cared for, understood, and happy while giving owners complete peace of mind. I treat every dog like my own and always keep communication open and consistent. I’m available Thursday through Sunday, with the most flexibility on weekends. On Thursdays and Fridays, I work part-time and am home by early afternoon, so I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and evening care. I’m able to provide consistent attention, timely walks, and a structured routine. I prioritize reliability and make sure each pet gets the time, care, and attention they need. I prioritize safety, trust, and clear communication above everything. I follow each pet’s routine closely and take the time to understand their individual needs, behaviors, and comfort levels. I have a fenced yard for safe outdoor time, as well as a very friendly Shihpoo who is used to being around other dogs. I always supervise interactions and make sure every dog feels comfortable and secure. I also have a pet camera at home for added monitoring, and a baby gate if a dog feels more comfortable in a smaller, more confined space. I’m especially mindful with more anxious dogs, as I have one of my own, so I understand the importance of patience and creating a calm, safe environment. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I treat every dog like my own and provide updates so owners feel confident their pet is in good hands.
“Karla is great! She is very accommodating towards pets needs. She is very kind to my dog and is very easy to communicate with for whatever you may need. She always sends pics of their walks so I always know how their walk went. I’m currently booked with her for weekly walks, and I couldn’t ask for someone better. I will continue to have her walk my Ruby till as long as she can!”
About: Hi! I’m Andrea, your fur baby’s new bestie! I’ve taken care of various types of pets (hamsters, bunnies, dogs and cats) since I was 12. In addition to caring for my own fur babies, I’ve cared for pets of family members, friends and even clients I also babysat and house-sat for. I am responsible, treat all fur babies as if they were my own, and know just how to keep them happy, healthy and entertained while you’re away! I work from home, allowing for a lot of time and flexibility for multiple walks, meals and play breaks throughout the day, both during the week and over the weekend. I am very responsible and communicative, will ask thorough questions upfront about any routines, medicines and care tips and share regular updates with you throughout my visits.
About: I've been around pets my whole life — they've been part of my home since I was 7. I currently have two cats of my own, so I genuinely understand what pet owners care about when they leave their animals with someone. I spent years working at a grooming facility, which means I'm comfortable handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I come to your home, spend real time with your pet, and treat every visit as more than just a checkbox. I'm also certified in pet CPR — so if anything unexpected happens, I know exactly what to do. I offer dog walking and drop-in visits, with bathing available as an add-on. My schedule is flexible, so I can show up consistently without rushing your pet through the time we have together. Every animal has its own personality — I pay attention to that and adjust my approach accordingly. I'm a stay-at-home mom with a flexible schedule, which means I'm available on weekdays and weekends — not just squeezing walks in before or after a 9-to-5. Getting outside with pets fits naturally into my day, and honestly, I enjoy it. It's not a side hustle I'm half-present for — I actually want to be there. When I arrive, I follow whatever routine the owner has set — feeding schedule, walk route, favorite toys, any quirks. I don't come in and improvise; I ask questions upfront so your pet's day stays as normal as possible. During walks I pay attention to the dog's pace and energy — not every dog wants the same thing, and I adjust accordingly. For drop-ins I make sure the pet gets real interaction, not just a quick check and leave. I send updates and photos so owners know everything is fine. My grooming background means I also notice things — a skin issue, unusual behavior, anything that seems off. I'll always let the owner know.
“It was a pleasure to meet Diana! She answered all of my questions and is very flexible. She took Marcus on a walk and he had a great time. Have already rebooked! Thank you!”
About: I worked professionally as a veterinary technician for 2 years. I was mostly interested in cats and dogs. I received pet grooming training and worked as a pet groomer for ober 1 year. While I analyze the health problems of your dear friends, I am ready to work to make them happy. My working hours are flexible. I look forward to taking care with your pups :) I'm available morning and evening, all day 7 days a week. Unfortunately, my house does not have a suitable area for your furry friends. I have my own room at home. My landlord does not allow pets in the house. Because my landlord has a cat
“Layla was so wonderful with my little Theo ! He always looks so happy to see her/ after his walk with her. Layla is so wonderful and professional; also keeps you updated on everything. I will definitely be re-booking with her in the near future!”
About: To begin I got my first pet at the age of 6, and my second dog a few years after. My first dog a Maltese poodle mix and is currently 15 years old! My second a Yorkshire Terrier which sadly passed a few years ago. Since my dog is 15 she has provided senior care experience and what to expect around this age in a dog. I have a large family and constantly find myself pet sitting different dog breeds like Pomeranian, French Bulldog and Golden Retriever. I currently work part time and find to have a lot of free time. I love to go on walks and especially love the company of a pet! Looking to expand my pet interaction! I have a fenced yard and a senior dog to keep your fur company! I can easily crate your dog if needed. Dog’s sleeping environment is whichever he or she pleases, weather it be a crate or my bed!
About: I've cared for all sorts of dogs growing up: big dogs, small dogs, lazy dogs, hyper dogs, old dogs, and young dogs. I've even cared for my roommate's cat from time to time. I love every second of it, and your pet will love everything about me! I can guarantee that your pet will be in good hands! I am available at all hours between Monday through Thursday. If it is to just let your pet outside or to watch over your house while you are away overnight, I am available! Walking and playing are some of the highest priorities for pet parents, so that will be mine as well. I will make sure your pet will be entertained and walked/let out as instructed. As well as feedings and bathings! *Will not bathe aggressive pets*
“Bryndon is an excellent and professional dog walker. We appreciate his flexibility, prompt and clear communication, and his overall attentiveness to our dogs. I would highly recommend his services to our family and friends.”
“Valerie was amazing! She did a great job of walking our two senior dogs while my family and I went on vacation. She was always in constant contact and let us know if there was anything going on with our boys. I would highly recommend.”
“Heather was amazing!! She had so much patience with our anxious boy, she really is the frenchie whisperer. Whoever gets to book with her is lucky to have her, she treats your fur baby like family. I would be happy to provide a recommendation/ reference for anyone interested to pursue her services.”
About: Welcome to Lovely Momo’s Family! We live in a townhouse with a big dog park, a yard, and walking trails throughout the town. It’s a very safe place for both dogs and even children. We go for walks 2–3 times a day, and playing with our girl, Momo, is the happiest part of our day. Here are the daily care routine for Momo❣️ 🌟 Brushing teeth (we also have non-brush dental foam spray) 🌟 Cleaning eyelids & ears 🌟 Combing her fur (detangle spray,brush,comb) 🌟 Feeding nutritional supplements 🌟 Family playtime! 🎾 If you'd like, we can provide the same care for your dog as well! I’m currently taking a break from work to plan my pregnancy and also looking for a job that allows me to work from home, so I can take care of dogs anytime, 7 days and nights. We have human-grade quality treats, nutritional supplements, and dried food for dogs. Sometimes, I make fresh vegetable-mixed treats and am well aware of what foods are good for dogs. Momo especially loves vegetables and fruits, so we prefer giving her carrots, celery, and blueberries rather than just regular snacks.

Paloma was absolutely amazing! She stepped in last minute when I really needed help, and from the start she was incredibly punctual, reliable, and responsive. What stood out the most was how warm and caring she was. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dog was in such good hands. She made the entire experience smooth and stress free, and I truly appreciate her professionalism and kindness. I would definitely trust Paloma again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and compassionate sitter.
Daisy trusted Michelle the moment she met her and is so happy when she drops in for her visits. She is very attentive to her needs, responds quickly to my messages and is flexible with me. She has a very calming demeanor to her which is exactly what my anxious Daisy needs. Highly recommend!
We’ve had such a great experience with our dog walker, Xavier! He’s been walking our two dogs, Koda and Miso, and I honestly couldn’t ask for better care. Both dogs have their own personalities, and he handles each of them so well—making sure they get the right amount of exercise, attention, and love. I always feel at ease knowing Koda and Miso are in good hands. Xavier is reliable, communicative, and clearly cares about the dogs he works with. You can tell he genuinely enjoys what he does, and it shows in how happy and relaxed my pups are after every walk. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring!
Jing was wonderful with Bailey. He was a little nervous today because it’s only a few days in our new apt, so he don’t finish his breakfast. Jing sat with him and hand fed him a couple morsels, helping him to feel comfortable and then he finished the rest on his own. I highly recommend Jing and will definitely use her again!
Yong was amazing!!! I’m always nervous about finding a new dog sitter/walker but Yong immediately put us at ease and my dog loved him. He was super dependable, gave lots of updates, always punctual and clearly loves animals and wants to take care of them. Will definitely reach out to again!
AMAZING!!! He made sure my dog felt comfortable with him before taking him on a walk. Provided lots of pictures and videos which made me feel more comfortable, I was so happy. Great communication. He cared for my dog like it was his own, my dog was super happy!!
can't recommend Monica enough! They are incredibly attentive and patient with my reactive dog, which is no small task. They follow all directions carefully and make sure my dog feels safe and supported every step of the way. It's such a relief to have someone I can trust who truly understands and respects my dog’s needs. Thank you!🐾
Al has been my dog Shaggy’s walker for over a year, and to say he made an impact is an understatement. Even after moving away, Al was able to walk Shaggy again today—and the moment they saw each other, it was like no time had passed. Shaggy was beyond excited and came back happy, tail wagging, and totally exhausted from a great walk. Al is an incredible dog walker and caretaker—he’s dependable, flexible, and truly connects with the pets he cares for. It’s clear that he doesn’t just walk dogs, he builds lasting bonds with them. Al is someone your pet will never forget, and neither will you.
