About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have always made sure they were taken care of. I’ve taken care of a total of 5 litters of golden retriever puppies. I have an 80 pound husky mix who is 3 years old. I walk him about 3-5 miles daily and love the occasional hikes and parks! I’m currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to watch your lovely pups. I am available most days every week including weekends! I have a friendly dog who loves to play and have the company of others. There’s a small dog park in my townhouse complex. I have an extra large dog crate if it is needed.
“Hope was incredible with our little one! We traveled over the holiday and were a little worried as this was the first time we would be away during the Christmas holiday. Hope was consistent in communication and sent the best pictures. We highly recommend booking with Hope!!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my entire life (4 dogs and 5 cats to be exact!) I currently have 2 orange cats who I am mildly obsessed with. I work from home in the Matthews area and would love to drop by to see your pets during the day or to give you peace of mind while you’re away. I work from home in the Matthews area so my days are flexible! I can drop by if you’re out during the day, or stay longer to keep them company while you’re away! I have a fenced in yard and work from home with my husband. I live in a quiet residential neighborhood that makes going on walks easy.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, so caring for pets has always come naturally to me. My most recent pup was very high-energy and required daily stress-reducing exercises, which gave me hands-on experience in keeping active dogs both happy and balanced. Before that, I cared for a blue pit with severe allergies who needed daily medication, so I’m also very comfortable supporting pets with special needs and extra routines. Through it all, I’ve learned that every dog deserves patience, consistency, and plenty of love. I treat every pet as if they were my own, making their safety, comfort, and happiness my top priorities. On a personal note, I’m currently saving for my wedding, which makes me extra grateful for every family who trusts me with their four-legged loved ones—it’s an honor I don’t take lightly. I work from home full time, which means I can give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. If I’m dog sitting or dog boarding at mine, you can feel confident knowing someone will always be home with your pup. I’m available for dog sitting and dog boarding any day of the week, and I can also provide drop-in visits after 4:00 p.m. on Fridays as well as all day on Saturdays and Sundays. My flexible schedule allows me to adjust to each pet’s needs, whether that’s extra walks, playtime, or cuddles. When pets are in my home, I make sure they feel like part of the family. They’ll have a safe, comfortable space, plenty of playtime, and lots of love and attention throughout the day since I work from home. I follow their normal routines as closely as possible—whether that’s mealtime, walks, or quiet time—so they feel secure and at ease. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with respect while keeping their pets on the same schedule they’re used to. I provide regular updates and photos so you know your furry family member is happy and well cared for at all times.
About: I raised my Shih Tzu from 3 months up until I lost him to kidney disease on 9/11/2024. I walked him on a regular basis except rainy days (he hated getting wet lol), he was potty trained and free to roam the house while I was not home. Everyone ( family, friends, neighbors) knew how much I loved and cared for him. When he was in his last days from kidney failure, I stayed by his side until the end. I kept his routine the same. I pushed him in his stroller when he could not walk anymore. Administered him an IV daily to keep him hydrated when he barely ate and drank. I laid with him and held him until he let me know it was time for him to go to that Rainbow Bridge. As a newly retired person, I have plenty of time to give your furry friend(s) all the love, walks, and attention they need and deserve. Whether in my home or a clients, I provide a comfortable environment with meals, walks, playtime and companionship. I follow their routines as instructed to keep them happy and comfortable.
“Enegul has been great with our pup! She is prompt, has good communication, and takes care of Daisy on walks. Daisy has come home exhausted and happy each time! Thank you for taking care of our girl!”
About: I’ve taken care of many dogs for my family, friends, and neighbors! Most of my experience includes in home pet sitting, walking, and check-ins. I’m a long time animal lover and I’m excited to meet yours! I’m currently an online college student, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! I’m available all weekend, Monday and Tuesday. If you need care for longer, that can also be arranged! Depending on your pets needs I can provide check-ins or an in-home pet sitting, offering a more comfortable time for your pets while you’re away!

Jane was a blessing!! Sista thank you! She came in and was patient while my address was acting weird and very understanding to the weather conditions. I was definitely be making sure Jane is my first point of contact. I can’t thank her enough for her jumping in at the last minute and helping me. Reliable, communicative and understanding. Thanks Jane!
Sydney is simply amazing! She is incredibly responsive, friendly, reliable. She came over to meet us and our dog prior to caring for her and we really appreciated that effort. She happily walked her on short notice and took great photos and was so communicative the entire time. We will definitely be asking for Sydney’s help anytime we need it in the future! Highly recommend her for any of your pet needs.
Yelyzaveta took wonderful care of my dog Blaze during her walks. Blaze was so happy to see her come that she would jump at the door. Yelyzaveta was professional and friendly. And I would definitely recommend her for dog walking. I would book her again should I need a dog walker.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
