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!

I really appreciated Michael’s excellent communication skills, promptness, and reliability. He was also very patient with my pup, even in the face of her anxious barking behaviour.

Melody and I are so happy to have Andrea (Andy) in our lives. She is so positive and cheerful, and Melody loves her and their walks together. She's very responsible, gets here on time, and you can tell she loves animals. I will be using Andy on a continual basis for the foreseeable future! Cheers, Lois

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: 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: I lived on the farm for 16 years which we raised several types of dogs ranging from a miniature poodle name Benji to a black lab named Bear. We had several cats, some of them were called Barn cats and they would just stay in the barn and catch the mice or any other little creatures that would roam around! Once in awhile I would sneak in a kitty and make sure they were out of the house before my dad got up! I always felt bad for them sleeping outside. One of my first dogs as an adult was a Rottweiler named keela. She was so smart she wouldn't let the kids out of her side. When she got pregnant she had a hard time giving birth. I remember watching a movie 101 Dalmatians and one of the puppies wasn't breathing and he used a technique on the throat. That actually works. I had the vet on the line and he talked me through helping her give birth. That was one of these scariest most exciting moments owning a pet! I used to train our puppies on the farm the basics. They were so easy since treats or a puppy's best friend! My furry granddaughter moved out recently with her mom and her name is Bella. I get her on weekends sometimes like any other grandparent gets their grand child. I have doggy sat / house sat for one family for the past five to six years when needed. Ella is always excited to see me as I am always excited to see her! I believe that are pets are just like our children. They need our unconditional love, attention, patience, and understanding. Our pets can not talk to us so we need to make sure that we understand their language when they're not feeling well or when they're anxious or stressed out. I will treat your family member just like I treat my own. I now have a new addiction to the family. Her name is Luna. She is a 9month old tabby that I adopted Halloween night last year!! She was 8 weeks old and boy is she a character. Right now, I have an open schedule. So anytime would be great to hang out with some fur babies. Being with your babies would be a blessing to enjoy. Every morning we get up and have breakfast pour fresh water in her fountain. I allow her to go outside on the balcony for a bit while i am out there tending to my plants. we then go and empty her litter box in the morning so we can have clean litter for the day. I am trying to harness train her so if she wants some day we can go on a walk. we come back in, and we will play with some toys or the laser. then it is treat time. by then she takes a nap. this is how i take care of my pet. your pet would get the same treatment.

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!

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 ❤️

Katelyn has been an absolute dream of a dog walker, and we truly can’t say enough wonderful things about her. Our dog Ziggy is skittish and slow to trust new people. From day one, Katelyn approached him with such calm energy, patience, and genuine kindness that it put us at ease. She never rushed him or forced interactions. Instead, she let Ziggy set the pace—earning his trust step by step. We are looking forward to working with her more! She is the best out there!

I’ve been having Kelsy walk my dog, Krishna, and I couldn’t be happier! She’s always punctual and reliable, and Krishna absolutely loves her. Every time she arrives, he wags his tail and eagerly runs to the door. Krishna is a bit of a leash puller, but Kelsy handles it with ease, making the walks enjoyable for both of them. It’s clear that they’ve built a great bond, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful dog walker!
