About: I've taken care of dogs my entire life! I don't own any at the moment but that just gives me more time to spend with your little fur-baby or babies. I have experience with senior dogs, giving medication, and basic puppy training. I'm also available for overnights, for any anxious little woofers, special needs puppers, or any additional medical or behavioral reasons. I am available for daytime pet sitting! I can be with your puppy or senior dog while you run out for errands or even if you just need a break! Just book me with the details and we can discuss a custom rate. My availability is completely open at the moment, including overnights. Animals are not a side-gig for me. They are my lifelong passion! I will work to fit into your routine. I have done overnight, weekend long, and drop in pet care and dog walking throughout my life. Nothing matters more to me then my client's comfortability and their pet's safety.
“Karah is wonderful in every way. She's a great communicator, she's an animal lover, she's flexible, cheerful, punctural, and just an all-around great person. She was so helpful to me when I was recovering from surgery, picking my dog up at daycare and walking him home. I'd hire her again in a heartbeat, and plan to! My old dog felt very comfortable with her. She's a natural.”
About: I’m a great sitter because animals have always been a part of my life. I’ve had the joy of raising dogs from puppies to adulthood, including a mini-poodle named Mikey, who was a cherished part of our family for 11 years. Currently, I have a 2-year-old cat named Cash and a 1.5-year-old dog named Jax. My care also extends to parakeets, other small birds, hamsters, and fish. Additionally, I have always found myself being a sitter for the pets of my relatives and I am currently fostering 2 cats. I have experience with nursing pets back to health after surgeries. I’m currently working part-time, so I have time to hang with the fur-babies! On weekdays, my afternoons are free, I do not work on Friday and Saturdays, and every night is available for possible boarders, as I am home. When caring for pets I prioritize their health, comfort, and emotional well-being. I ensure they’re well-fed by preparing and cooking their food according to their specific dietary needs. If a pet is unwell, I take the time to nurse them back to health with close attention and gentle care. I am also the person that takes my pets to their vet appointments. I also make sure they feel loved and secure by spending quality time with them—petting, cuddling, and playing—tailored to their personality and preferences. Each pet is treated like family, with patience, compassion, and responsibility at the heart of everything I do.

Nick is very pleasant and he responded very quickly to the request for a dog walker for my two beagles. It was a very smooth process to set up an appointment that worked for me. He came for a meet and greet which allowed me to feel confident that the dogs would be fine with him.. Nick arrived on time the day of the walk and was very responsive to Copper and Casey.needs. I will definitely reach out to h8m for dog walking 8n the future!
Jasmine was great! She was very attentive to Theo and made sure to carry him up and down the stairs to avoid injury, gave him his food and washed his paws after the walk. I highly recommend Jasmine as a dogwalker! I will be requesting another dog walk from her soon.
Mengyao is a fantastic walker and I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of her services. We booked her on short notice but even still, she was able to accommodate last minute, was highly communicative, and asked thoughtful questions in advance to make sure she was well equipped to handle my two dogs—one of which can be a difficult walker. On top of that, she put me at ease by sending many videos and photos throughout the walk, which was very much appreciated! We will definitely have Mengyao walk our dogs again.
Debra was scheduled to walk my dog 4 days one week while I was away and due to bad weather we canceled 2 of the days. She was flexible with scheduling a meet and greet, very communicative all week when some hiccups arose, and very loving to my dog. I’m booking her again asap!
Claire was super helpful with taking Buttercup on walks with fairly short notice when our usual walkers were away. She’s clearly a dog lover and gave butter lots of attention when she came to meet us. She communicated well and worked through a situation in which our daughter forget to put out the keys for her, with everything working out just fine :). We’d be happy to use her again in the future!
We booked Mullainy to walk our dog in the mornings for almost two weeks and he was the best! He was prompt every single day, communicative if traffic was tricky (yet always showed up on time) and had the best energy, plus our dog really took to him. We fully intend to book him again in the future!
Carolina was so great with communication and care. My furry baby tends to be shy and reserved but she warmed up to Carolina very quickly. She took her out for a walk and spent time with her with favorite activity, playing fetch. I will definitely book Carolina again in the future.
