“Stephanie was amazing! She came over for a meet and greet on short notice and stayed for an hour to answer all of my questions, and meet my pup. She came over every day to walk her while I was away and my family was working. She even checked to make sure my dog was given her medicine and gave it to her if needed. I got messages/updates and pictures every day which really put me at ease. Not only did she take excellent care of my baby, but she also checked in on me to see how my trip was, which was really nice of her. Stephanie really went above and beyond just walking Charlie, she took the time to make sure she had everything she needed and gave her plenty of love. I will absolutely use her in the future!!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 7 years, including walking on Wag, dog sitting for friends and family, and raising my own pup. I know every dog has their own personality, and I’m great at picking up on their needs whether that’s lots of playtime, a slow-paced walk, or just someone to chill with. I treat every dog like they’re my own, and I always show up on time, communicate clearly, and make sure your pet feels safe and loved I currently work part-time, usually just three days a week, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for pets throughout the week. Whether it’s a weekday walk, weekend stay, or last-minute check-in, I can usually make it work and love fitting pet care into my routine! I don’t host pets in my own home, but I’m happy to care for them in your home where they feel most comfortable. I follow any instructions you leave closely whether that’s feeding schedules, walk routines, or special care. I make sure pets feel safe, get plenty of attention, and stick to their normal routine as much as possible. I’m also respectful of your home and always leave things clean and just as I found them.

I’m currently working part-time, so I have a lot of flexibility within my schedule.

“Alicia is absolutely amazing with all pets- dogs, cats, you name it! She’s dependable, always showing up on time and giving every animal the love and care they deserve.

Imma B.
“Emma was a very reliable and considerate walker. She really cared for my pup and would always communicate if she needed anything, if anything went wrong, etc. She’s the best!”
Megan E.
“I can highly recommend Megan for dog care. She grew up in a household that always had 2-3 well-loved dogs that were part of the family. When we lived together for 5 years, we adopted a total of 3 dogs, all rescues. I always let her take the lead in deciding what was best for our dogs. She spearheaded the training and routines for all of our dogs to great success. In particular, the first dog we adopted had bad separation anxiety and would destroy things when we were gone. Through months of crate training and establishing a secure relationship with that dog, I am now able to leave her loose in my house when I'm gone at work or staying at a friend's house overnight and nothing gets destroyed nor is the dog distressed when I'm gone, just happy to see me upon my return. Megan is a responsible and skilled, dog-loving caretaker who will do a great job with any dog, even the most difficult ones.”
Ezra M.
“I’ve been friends with Ezra since we were kids. They’ve always had pets such as cats, dogs, chickens, fish, some rodents, and a few others. They have always given nothing but top tier animal care, their animals are so friendly with people, are well behaved, and even get along with other animals. They are a personal cat sitter of mine and I can’t recommend them enough.”
