I have a reactive dog and Angela was very understanding of the situation. I did my best to provide directions, so that and her experience with reactive dogs made it so taking out my dog was a breeze. Definitely will be booking Angela in the future!

She has been wonderful with my dog! She’s communicative, flexible, and so patient. I really appreciate the way she handles my dog and always feel confident knowing she’s in good hands. It’s obvious she cares about the dogs she works with, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she provides.

Leila is fabulous! We need a last second walk for our pups. She came to our house to get the pups. Our friend that was there earlier in the day left the leashes in the wrong place and Leila was patient enough to search for them. It delayed her walk quite a bit but she didn’t shorten their walk. She took great care of our pups and gave them treats. Her report was thorough and detailed, which helped alleviate any worry I had for our pups. Thanks Leila!

Jacob was my first dog walker for Bear. He arrived later than booked but communicated his arrival. Jacob was able to answer my questions and we spoke about Bear and his behavior. Jacob returned with a happy pup after an hour. I like the report card that shows the walk they went on. I would recommend.

As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I treat every animal with patience, care, and attention, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while in my care. I’m a calm, reliable, and responsible person who truly loves animals. Whether it’s an energetic puppy, a senior dog, or a shy cat, I always adapt to each pet’s individual needs and carefully follow all owner instructions. I’m very punctual, detail-oriented, and committed to providing the best care possible. During walks or sittings, I’m happy to send updates, messages, and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is doing well. Thank you for considering me — I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! I have a flexible schedule and can adjust to meet your pet’s needs. I’m available all day on weekends and on weekdays depending on the day, giving me plenty of time for walks, play, and attention. This allows me to provide consistent care, companionship, and love for your furry friend whenever needed. I always prioritize pets’ safety and comfort.

About: I have been around dogs my entire life and grew up with several Golden Retrievers, which helped me build a strong understanding of their care and personalities. From feeding and grooming to exercise and playtime, I learned how to keep dogs happy and healthy from an early age. I also had a corgi of my own, which gave me experience with smaller breeds and their unique needs. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments and always make sure they feel safe, cared for, and truly loved. I’m currently a grad student so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time during my week to work around both you and your pet’s schedule. Your pet’s safety comes first. I provide a calm, secure environment, follow routines closely, communicate clearly, and treat every pet and home with care, respect, and attention.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs all my life and I’m a huge pet lover. I used to foster dogs of all sizes so I’m used to having guest pups around. I have a 9yr old Doberman mix who wouldnt mind the extra company of another dog. He will show a little interest in another dog staying with us but for the most part he sticks to himself and does best with other dogs who don’t need him to play with but just like the company! We love the outdoors and go on frequent walks. Dogs will have free reign of the apartment. I work 9-5 during the week downtown 3 days a week but with enough notice I have flexibility on the days and start/end times. Daily routine will be the same as my pup. Three walks a day (or more if needed). Breakfast around 8 and dinner around 6 unless different hours are needed. Dogs will have free roam of the apartment but I also have the ability to separate them if requested. I also don’t mind if they are on the furniture and I have plenty of options for sleeping arrangements.

Elizabeth & Matt are so great with our 7mo old puppy, Brinkley. They are communicative leading up to our scheduled walks. They asked about anything to keep an eye out for (our guy likes to pick up everything on the sidewalks) and share photos / updates from their walks. Brinkley is always so excited to see them and waits by the door for walk time!

Five stars aren’t enough for Noa! She has been walking my 5-year-old German Shepherd Liebe, who has some health challenges and anxiety, and she’s handled every walk with patience, expertise, and genuine love. But what really won me over? When I was under the weather, Noa showed up with a healthcare kit for me completely unprompted. She was hired to walk my dog, not take care of me, but that’s just who she is. If you want a dog walker you can trust completely and someone who genuinely cares about your whole family’s well-being look no further than Noa. Highly, highly recommend!
