“Ginger has been amazing with my dog! Her availability is amazing and she has helped me a ton when it comes to last minute bookings. My schedule at the hospital is crazy and I often work longer hours and I know that my dog is being cared for and loved by her when I am not home. I can’t recommend her enough!”


“We are so lucky to have Daniela looking after our dogs. She is so sweet and friendly. Her work ethic is above and beyond expectations. I admire how well organized and consistent she is! We always get a full report to monitor their healthand photos to help us enjoy how happy the boys are to take a walk with her. Thanks, Daniela!”


About: I’ve had animals all my life, and I’m a huge animal lover! I know how stressful it can be for both you and your pet while you’re away, and my goal always is to help your pet live its best life while you are away so you don’t have to stress either! I have experience watching dogs from yorkies to labs, and all sizes in between. I work from home most days so my schedule is pretty flexible for feedings, playtime, and walks! I love to run, and am happy to help your pup get some energy out by running with them. My goal is always to make sure pets are relaxed and having fun while staying safe. If they’re outside I will always keep an eye on them in a fenced yard, or keep them on leash in open spaces.


“Saul has been great with our pup! He has been very kind and patient with him and has gone above and beyond to make him comfortable. We’re grateful he can help us!”


“Christine is absolutely wonderful. She has helped me so much with my German Shepherd, Frank! She walks him everyday. She has even made herself available last minute when I have been stuck at work and couldn’t get home to my boy, life saver! I highly recommend if you want someone caring and trustworthy to take care of your fur babies!”


“Nina has done a great job walking my dogs! She leaves very detailed notes with pictures & is very kind and timely. She always quickly responds to messages and lets me know in advance when she will be out of town. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog walker!”


About: I have had experience taking care of my family golden retriever, as well as our two cats since I was a freshman in high school. I also have occasionally pet sit for family and friends. I now have my own dachshund named Hank who is 1 1/2 years old! I currently work full time as a respiratory therapist downtown. While I am full time, I only work 2-3 days a week so I am open to help you and your pets the other 4-5 days. I do work different days each week so my schedule will vary by the week! I have an apartment so I do not want to offer in home sitting as there’s not much room to play. With that being said, I would love to do drop in visits at your home, as well as walks :)

“Devynne came as a recommendation from our neighbor recently. Even though our dog is super easy and the expectation was for a short walk, Devynne goes above and beyond what was asked. She’s a great communicator, dependable, and even spends time loving on our cat who normally hides from strangers. She even stops by to say hi to my dog when she’s in the area walking the neighbors dog. She’s great and I would tell anyone who needs animal help that she’s a wonderful choice.”


“When Sutton and I met Lauren and Wynn, it was easy to chat with them and Sutton instantly loved them both! She seemed very comfortable with them and was very happy to see them. I really do appreciate the pictures and updates from the walks. We are very fortunate that Lauren and Wynn are there for Sutton and we truly appreciate the care they give her. ❤️🐾”


About: I have owned both dogs and cats my entire life. I've spent the last 4 years working as a manager in a dog daycare and boarding facility. I was responsible for the health and safety of each dog in our care. Proficient in caring for dogs of any age and administering oral medications as well as insulin shots, eye and ear medications. Well versed in dealing with difficult dogs, pack environments, first aid, regulations for inclement (extreme heat or cold) weather, leash control, basic obedience training. I currently have no time constriction and am willing to adjust my personal schedule to accommodate a clients specific needs regarding the care of their animals. I am unable to currently care for any animal in my home as I have 3 dogs, one of which is not accepting of any animal outside of his current pack members, and 3 cats. I can provide care in a clients home and will do so with the utmost respect of their animals and property.

About: I provide more than just pet sitting—I offer personalized, attentive care tailored to your dog’s unique needs. Whether it’s training a new puppy with patience and consistency, or offering gentle, comforting care to senior dogs with special routines or medications, I adapt to each dog’s personality and lifestyle. I communicate regularly with updates and photos, so you always feel connected. Your dog isn’t just being watched—they’re being cared for like family in a safe, loving environment. I’m currently boarding and daycare on weekends and sometimes weekdays. I’m offering my services because of the love of animals and the needs from owners. Sometimes owners need a break or a vacation that’s pup-free. And I get it! Helping achieve that for you while their dog-family is also cared for the way you would at home is so important. I just hope to make that gap in the industry a wonderful experience I have a fenced in yard, long walks and park near by. I have two small, non-aggressive, friendly dog that will give them company. I am more than happy to accommodate any crate needs or other requests.

Stephanie was great to work with. We booked a 30 minute walk for our dog, Gabby. Upon arrival, Stephanie noticed that Gabby had thrown up while we were gone. Stephanie was kind enough to clean it up for us and communicated with us immediately what had happened. Would highly recommend using Stephanie!
