“Yidi was great with Sammy! My dog can be standoffish at first, but Yidi was patient with her and by the second walk she was already more comfortable and walking more/further from home. Yidi is also very responsive and easy to communicate with, we would gladly use his services again!”

“Jefferson was great!! He was very communicatIve and responded very promptly. He was also open to meeting up beforehand so that my dog could get acquainted with him before the dogwalking appointment which made the whole experience feel very safe.”


“Christie watched our cat and dog for 4 days while we were traveling. She is super communicative and went above and beyond to make sure our pets felt cared for while we were gone!”

“This was my first experience entrusting my puppy with a dog walker, and Lydia exceeded my expectations. She’s very communicative, open to my requests, and took great care of my little girl. Lydia also takes the cutest pictures! I’d recommend her, and I’ll be a repeat client for sure.”

About: Hi, I'm Sarah! I have a wide range of experience in pet care. I spent my time in high school after class at a vet clinic learning and helping in every way I could. My love for animals stemmed further than this and has been the reason why I am the go to for all my friends as their pet sitter. Having been a dog and cat mommy for over 10 years I know every single detail matters in making sure your baby is taken care of and I would love to share this attention and care with yours! I work part-time and remote, so my schedule is extremely flexible! I am happy to work with you on what schedule would be best for your needs. I am extremely receptive to the needs and wants of the owner and truly care to understand each pet individually. This means understanding their moods and what makes them happy, upset, and everything between. I will be certain to follow the owner's instructions and reach out if anything is unclear!
“Sharon is wonderful! It’s been so helpful to have a dog walker that I can trust while I am in the office. She is kind, communicative, and conscientious - a pleasure to work with!”

About: Hi, I'm Sylvia! I consider myself very mature and responsible. I'm looking forward to doing something new like this in my spare time. I am very excited, I love taking of all kinds of pets. I have helped take care of my boyfriend's french bulldog and I have helped take care of other small to medium sized dogs for friends and family in the past although I have never owned a dog myself yet. I really enjoy going for walks and making sure the pet I'm looking after is getting the attention they need each session or day. I'm a big animal lover and treat every pet I look after as if they were my own. I hope you choose me to be your pet sitter and I look forward to making new furry friends!
