“Elizabeth was nothing short of amazing! She really is the best and loves your pet like her own! She’s the first dog walker I hired for my puppy and I’m so happy I did. You will not regret having Elizabeth watch over your fur baby!!”
2. Brianna A.
“This was my first time using a dog walking service and I have to say it turned out much better than I imagined! Quality service and characteristics like reliable, compassionate, punctual are hard to come by these days however, Brianna is all of these things and more. Brianna interacted with me, my Mom who was house sitting and of course my dog and best friend Baylee. Each walk was completed for the amount of time requested, she sent the cutest pictures of Baylee during their walks and it was a relief to know Baylee was getting love, attention and exercise while I was away. I highly recommend Brianna if you need care for your pets! Thank you, Brianna, for making this "first" a great experience for us! Well done:)”

“There is no one that I would trust more than Daina to take care of your pets! She has years of experience in a veterinary setting and is very caring and compassionate.”
5. Katrina M.
“Katrina is very passionate about dogs. I have known Katrina over 10 years. When it came time to board our dogs,I knew Katrina would be the best person for the job. Katrina is very caring. I am like most people our fur babies are our children so you want them in the best hands. Katrina would send us pictures everyday so we could see how much fun our dogs were having. If given a choice I wouldn't use anyone else.”

“Tyler is a very responsible young man that loves dogs. He owns 2 dogs currently and has always had a dog in his life. He is punctual and respectful of people, dogs and property. His interactions with the dogs are as much as how you treat a family member. He has great communication skills and will respect any of your wishes. I highly recommend him.”

About: I have experience in the past working for a vet’s office as a kennel technician, so I am experienced feeding and walking dogs of various sizes. I am currently available at all times of the day, but that is subject to change in the near future as I am job hunting. I am an affectionate and empathetic person with animals, and I will do my best to make sure your pet’s needs are met and they are comfortable.
18. Emily M.
“Emily was wonderful with my stubborn little Shih Tzu BamBam. He looked forward to her arrival each morning.”
19. Karli B.
About: I’ve taken care of cats, dogs, ferrets, birds, and guinea pigs since I was young. I’m going to veterinary school to be a full time vet. I’ve had animals around me all my life and taking care of them is the best part of my day! I currently have two very friendly (and lazy) dogs that would love another playmate in the backyard, however If you aren’t interested in your animal being around my current doggys then they can easily be separated from each other for any overnight stays. I’ve potty trained and behaviorally trained all my past dogs. I love taking pets for walks and teaching tricks. I also clip my own dogs’ nails and I’m happy to include that in the service if requested. I don’t work very many hours right now so that leaves plenty of playtime for pets! I’m currently going to school part time so I have plenty of spare time to keep pets company and take care of them for however long is needed. I have two friendly dogs and a big fenced in backyard where they have plenty of room to play in and do their business. I’ve had other people’s pets come and visit and they all like to play in the backyard or sleep all day in the living room. We keep our dogs in crates at night, but we also let them on the couch when it’s storming or if There’s fireworks. If you own a cat and needed them to be away from the dogs, we have a sectioned off upstairs where they can stay without being worried about my pups
20. Emily C.
“Emily absolutely loves dogs and would be the perfect pet sitter for you! She has stayed at my house multiple times watching my labradoodle. She’s one of the best people I know and you would be lucky to have her watching your sweet baby/babies!”
