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: I've loved animals my whole life and have cared for pets since 2016. I had my own bunny for five years, which taught me responsibility, patience, and how much consistency matters in pet care. Over the years, I've helped roommates, friends, and family with their pets, including feeding, walks (rain included!), baths when needed, cleaning up accidents, playtime, and companionship. While I don't yet provide emergency or medical care beyond the basics, I'm very comfortable with daily routines and making pets feel safe and loved. What sets me apart is that I'm very good at following instructions. I know every pet parent has specific preferences, and I respect that fully. During the first visit, I may ask clarifying questions to make sure I'm doing everything exactly how you like it. I also keep your home tidy and send regular updates with photos so you feel at ease. I'm available weekdays during standard working hours and would love to spend that time giving your pup or kitty attention, movement, and care. I'm currently available on weekdays during standard 9-5 hours, which makes me a great fit for midday walks, drop-in visits, and weekday care. I'm not available on weekends at this time. Since I'm focusing on weekday bookings, I'm able to give your pet my full attention during visits rather than rushing between commitments. Your pet's comfort and your home's safety are very important to me. I carefully follow all instructions, double-check doors and leashes, and make sure your pet is secure before and after walks. I maintain a calm presence and respect both your home and your pet's boundaries. I clean up after pets, keep litter areas and feeding spaces tidy, and leave your home as I found it. Clear communication is important to me, so you can expect updates, photos, and honest check-ins throughout my time with your pet.

About: With two years of experience caring for my own Shiba Inu and a history of dog-sitting for friends, I am confident in my ability to provide excellent pet care. I have hands-on experience with tasks like giving medicine, bathing, and brushing (for those dogs who are not against it) I'm available to care for your fur baby during the day on weekdays. My schedule is flexible and can accommodate daytime needs. I also take last minute booking. ​I have a private, fenced patio in my apartment that's a great space for your pet to enjoy some fresh air safely. During our walks, I'll send you updates with a detailed summary, so you'll know exactly how your furry friend is doing and what we did.

About: My passion for pets and commitment to their well-being, have helped me acquire invaluable experience caring for dogs of all ages and temperaments. From energetic puppies who can’t get enough playtime to seniors who prefer a cozy spot by the window, I tailor my approach to meet each dog's unique needs. I understand the importance of routine, which is why I prioritize punctual feeding and walking schedules. For many dogs, these moments are the highlights of their day, and I strive to make every experience enjoyable and fulfilling. Whether it’s hiking for the adventurous or gentle leash walks for those who like to take it easy, I’m dedicated to ensuring their happiness and comfort during their time apart from their owners. Additionally, I'm attentive to the emotional needs of pets who require extra affection and support. I take pride in creating a nurturing environment that helps ease their anxiety and keeps them engaged and content while their family is away. With my pet care experience, you can trust that your furry family members will receive the love, attention, and care they deserve! My schedule allows me to be flexible enough to adapt to your pets schedule! Thursday nights are when I'm on a tighter schedule but I'm glad to talk this over! I make sure to make their time away from you as close to their daily routine as possible. I make sure to know their likes and dislike to make them feel as safe and comfortable as possible. There are some dogs that do not feel good in loud and busy areas. So I make sure to go on walk them in quieter places. Also, if I am house sitting some prefer to co-sleep and I am comfortable doing so. Every pet care experience is catered to your and your pets liking :)

About: We’re an animal-loving couple with plenty of experience pet sitting through various platforms, caring for both dogs and cats. Over the years, we’ve looked after pets of all sizes and personalities from playful puppies to shy and absolutely loved every moment of it. Walks, playtime, and lots of cuddles are guaranteed! At the moment our rental apartment does not allow pets so unfortunately we can’t host. But we are offering to take care of your dogs and/or cats at your place as long as they are vaccinated. I’m at home most of the day right now, so pet care fits naturally into my routine. I follow a very structured daily schedule, which makes it easy to provide consistent feeding times, plenty of walks, and constant company for a pet. I provide a highly structured and attentive environment where a pet’s routine is the priority. Will follow your pets routine precisely; maintaining strict feeding, exercise, and medication schedules.

About: I've taken care of both dogs and cats from a very young age. I lived with two cats for most of my life so feel very comfortable being around and taking care of them. Recently returned to the US after living abroad. My schedule is fairly open at this time. If you have any questions feel free to ask. I’m very cautious and respectful of others’ spaces. While caring for your pet in your home, I make sure to follow all your instructions, keep things clean, and ensure your pet feels safe and comfortable. Your pet’s well-being and your home’s safety are my top priorities.

Katelyn has walked my dog several times and is really fantastic with my dog, Penny. Penny can be a little slow to warm up and Katelyn takes time to make sure Penny is comfortable on their walks. I get photo updates and a summary of how the walk went each time. She was flexible with me asking to change dates due to my work schedule, always arrived on time and communicated if there would be any changes to the time of the walks. Definitely would recommend her to others!

Madison walked our Shiba Inu, Kona, for five days in a row while my husband was away on a business trip and the kids were home for the holidays. So it was honestly such a big help. Already at the meet and greet, I had a really good feeling. And more importantly, Kona did too. He was super comfortable with Madison from the start. After every walk, he came back happy and totally content, which made me feel so relieved. Madison is kind, reliable, and just very easy to communicate with. By the end of the week, even my kids were excited to say hi to her when she arrived. We’re really grateful we found her and I would absolutely book her again anytime we need help with Kona. Highly recommend ❤️
