“Courtney is very professional, thoughtful and gentle, with my energetic Golden Retriever. She helped us in an over heat week. She planned routes with shade, and kept a very close eye to the dog during the walks. We will definitely book again!”
About: Hi, nice to meet you! 👋🏻 I'm Kris. I've been taking care of pets since I was a tot! I grew up in a house with lots of pets: 4 cats, 2 dogs, 1 iguana, 1 bearded dragon, countless fish, frogs, a few hermit crabs, ants (in a terrarium!), and sometimes mice. In addition, I often looked after my neighbors' pets when they were out of town throughout my elementary and high school years. Following college, I had my own kitty, Obi Wan, who got all my loving. Thank you for taking the time to consider me, and all the best as you look for the best fit for your sit. I'm a freelance, fully remote UX designer (app designer) who loves to travel, so I'm about as flexible a sitter as they come. I fit my life around you and your pet’s needs while I sit. When I’m sitting for you, I work around you and your pet’s needs and schedule. You let me know what works for you and what your pup or cat prefer! Meals at a specific time? No problem. Meds three times a day? You got it. 45 minutes of one-on-one play? Oh, I’ll tucker them out. I love mixing things up, so you let me know what works best for you.
“Michael has been amazing with our young, active dog while I recovered from surgery. He is right on schedule with 7 day/week service in my case. I really appreciate his calm nature and pro dog handling skills. Highly recommend.”
“I hired Ghazaal for an hour long walk. As Sage is a retired Service Dog, there are many specific training positions she has and I am an anxious about leaving her. The 3 of us walked together to see the positions and location of the walk. We all 3 worked well together. I am completely confomfort hiring her again!”
About: I’ve been talking care of animals since I was 11. I had big dogs growing up and several cats in my adult life. As I’m unable to have pets in my current living space I’d love to come love and care for yours. Although I work full time I’m single and have no pets of my own so I have plenty of spare time to care and watch your pets. I work from home Mondays and Fridays and love to go on hikes during the weekends. I’m familiar with crate and reward based training. I stay off my phone and make sure to be present and looking out for your animal at all times.
“Maddie was great with my dogs. The are older dogs, but one acts like a puppy and the other acts more like middle age. Maddie did great making both of them happy. She sent over tons of pics each visit. She texted me during the visit to tell me how the older one was doing. I'd highly recommend her.”
“Jhonatan is patient and calm which is exactly what you want in a dog walker. My timid dog has quickly warmed up to his walks and I am very confident Jhonata will be handle my 85lbs very athletic dog. Recommended”
“Elvira was amazing. We often struggle finding a sitter as we have a reactive dog but she really had a way with connecting with our animals and they warmed right up to her. I cannot recommend her enough :)”
About: As a lifelong dog lover, I'm the experienced and reliable sitter you've been looking for. I grew up helping manage my family's five-dog household, so I'm comfortable with all breeds, sizes, and energy levels. Whether it's an energetic walk, bath time, or just lots of cuddles and attention, I've got it covered. I treat every dog like they're my own and can't wait to meet yours! Pet care fits perfectly into my daily life. I'm currently preparing to go back to school for my Master's degree, which means I have a very flexible schedule and am home most of the day. While I dedicate my mornings to studying and working on applications, I am fully available for your pet anytime after 10 am. This allows me to be a constant companion for walks and activity. My study breaks are your pet's play breaks, ensuring they get plenty of one-on-one attention! Your pet will receive dedicated, one-on-one attention in my care. While I prepare for my Master's degree from home, my flexible schedule is devoted entirely to your furry friend, as they will be the only pet in my apartment. My home is thoroughly pet-proofed for safety, and we'll enjoy secure playtime at the fenced dog park on-site or longer walks to the park nearby. I'll send plenty of photo updates so you can relax, knowing your best friend is happy and in great hands.
“Chelsey has been great with our older golden retriever Milky. Chelsey’s started doing multiple dog walking sessions per week. Chelsey has been very punctual although we are flexible on walk start times. She’s very kind and responsible with our dog. Milky is starting to know the schedule and wait near the front door in anticipation. So that’s a good sign. Definitely will keep using Chelsey.”
“Robyn is an excellent dog walker! She’s very professional and confident. We can be a little anxious about our dog and felt completely comfortable with Robyn taking care of him. Her photos/updates were always great and made my day.”
“Lisa was absolutely wonderful!! It was a last min booking and she was willing to accommodate and even have a meet up ahead to get familiar with our doggos. Both of our dogs seem happy from the pictures taken during the walk. She is also very communicative and made us feel assured”
“Caleb has walked my dog Bennett almost everyday this week. He is nothing short of amazing. Very professional, respectful, loves your dog like his own! He brings my pup back happy and tired! He's considerate of the weather, and carries water to make sure your dog stays hydrated. He goes above and beyond, and Bennett thinks he is his new best friend! I cannot recommend him enough!”
About: I have had pets my whole life and learned to take care of them at a young age. I started pet sitting for neighbors when I was 13 and I immediately loved it. I would love the opportunity to meet your cute critter! I am currently a college student but I am on my break so my schedule is very flexible. I am available on weekdays and Sundays. I currently have a dog I take care of. I have taken care of dogs of all sizes and ages. I also have an indoor cat I care for and have previously watched an outdoor cat so I am familiar with cat care.
About: People always say if they could come back as a dog, they’d want to be mine — because I treat my pups better than some people treat their own kids! I’ve raised an Eskimo Spitz and two Bichons, and we’ve traveled cross-country by plane and car together — mostly because I didn’t want to leave them with just any pet sitter. I get how tough it is to leave your dog with someone else. That’s why I don’t just cover the basics like food and walks — I make sure your pup gets all the love, attention, and care they’re used to. When I travel, I even fly my dogs to stay with family so I can relax knowing they’re in good hands. I want to be that same peace of mind for you — knowing your fur baby is safe, happy, and loved. I’m currently not working - have flexible hours and would love to take walks for my own health - why not with a fur baby?? Whether I’m caring for your pet at my place or yours, I always make sure they’re safe and comfy. I keep everything secure — no sneaky escape routes or anything that could hurt them — and follow your instructions to a T, from feeding to meds to their favorite routines. I’m good at picking up on what your pet needs, whether they want to chill or play, so they always feel happy and relaxed. You can count on me to treat your fur baby like my own, with lots of love and care in a safe, cozy space.
“Ainsley was great with walking our 2 very vocal and reactive dogs while we were away. I felt very comfortable with her knowledge and experience when we did our meet and greet. She was extremely communicative and sent us frequent and detailed updates about our pups and even let us know when she had health concerns with one of them and helped us address the issue. She went above and beyond her duties and was even kind enough to water our Christmas tree and take out our garbage. 10/10 recommend and will definitely be booking again!”

I own my business, so I have a flexible schedule and can easily accommodate at times that work best for you and what you’re looking for.

Michele M.
“I recently had the pleasure of having MicheIe as a dog-sitter for my beloved Golden Doodle, and I must say, she was nothing short of phenomenal. Not only did she provide the basic care that any pet owner would expect, but she truly went above and beyond in every aspect. Michele’s dedication to my dog’s well-being was evident from the start. She took the time to understand his routine, his likes and dislikes, and what makes him happiest. Her attention to detail was impressive, ensuring that he was not just looked after, but genuinely cared for. What really set Michele apart was her commitment to keeping my Golden Doodle active and engaged. She took him on regular hikes, which he absolutely loved. These weren’t just short strolls, but adventurous hikes that kept him fit and happy. Back at home, she spent hours playing games with him, keeping his mind stimulated and his tail wagging. Even during downtime, Michele made sure he was comfortable, often cuddling with him and providing the affection he adores. Her approach to dog sitting was holistic, caring for his physical health with long walks, his mental stimulation with games, and his emotional needs with genuine affection. I couldn’t have asked for a better caretaker for my furry friend, and I wholeheartedly recommend Michele to any pet owner seeking a trustworthy, loving, and extraordinarily capable dog-sitter.”
