“Sophia was great walking our rescue pup and giving him some extra love. Finley is a terrier mix that can have some biting tendencies and she did very well with him. It's also nice to know that she has a terrier herself and has experience at vet clinics and shelters.”
“Rafael is reliable, communicative, and takes great care of my high energy pup. I could tell my dog had a blast with him by the sweet pictures he sent. 10/10 recommend Rafael!”
About: Our family dog Daisy was by my side the day I was born and I’ve loved dogs ever since, I love all animals but dogs are the purest form of goodness we have on this planet and I want to take care of them in the same great way they take care of us. Currently between seasonal jobs so I am available to take care of your pups just about any time! Very flexible with extended stays and overnight care if given a couple days notice I have lived many places and am comfortable in almost all environments, I am happy to adapt to your home when sitting and have a nice off-road vehicle for trips to the park and/or hikes
“So grateful to have Becca walk Millie for me a few times a week. She always makes sure she gets in some fun playtime! I know Millie loves the days she gets to see Becca! She also is great about sending the cutest pictures which make my workday so much brighter”
About: I have grown up around a minimum of 2 dogs my entire childhood. Currently my family owns 3 dogs, 2 of which I trained myself and am now able to take them on walks off-leash comfortably. I have experience with large and small dogs and am ready to handle any and all doggy daycare duties. Also have experience with senior dogs. I am a college student here in Nashville missing my dogs at home and would love to care for yours and make dog-parent life a little easter! I’m working part time at a music venue alongside a part time internship position with a radio station. This means I have more time than most during weekdays to check in on your pups or take them out for some exercise. I am comfortable caring for pets inside of your home and would make sure your individual instructions and care needs are met for your pet!
About: I have 5 years of certified service dog training experience through Susquehanna Service Dogs. I have professional experience in raising, training, sitting, and caring for animals of all breeds, ages, and sizes. I have a love for caring for animals and would love to help care for your fur babies! I currently work fully remote, so I am able to care for your fur baby around the clock! I walk outside myself at least twice per day and would love to take your pet with me. I love playing, snuggling, and doing whatever else your pet loves to do! I currently have no pets, so yours would have my full, undivided attention! I have years of experience in training and raising service dogs, so I will provide premier care for your pet. I live in a pet-friendly apartment building with both indoor and outdoor dog parks, so your dog would have lots of room for walks, play, and fun!
“Taylor was great! Had a last minute change of plans that meant I needed someone to walk my puppy the next day and she was a major help in being able to accommodate the ask. She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures!”
About: With over 8 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, I bring a calm, reliable, and attentive approach to pet care. I’ve worked with everything from energetic puppies to senior pets needing medication and extra patience. What sets me apart is my ability to read animal behavior and respond appropriately. That might mean giving a shy cat space to warm up or redirecting an anxious dog with structure and routine. I don’t currently have pets of my own, so your animal gets my full attention and care. I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can trust, and I’m committed to maintaining their routines, keeping them safe, and making sure they feel secure and cared for in your absence. I’m currently a neuroscience PhD student, which gives me a flexible schedule that works well for pet care. I’m available for morning and evening visits throughout the week, and I keep weekends open for more extended stays, drop-ins, or walks. My academic schedule allows me to plan ahead and adjust as needed, so I’m able to accommodate most routines and time-sensitive needs. Whether your pet thrives on early walks or evening attention, I can be there to make sure they stay comfortable and cared for. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible to reduce stress and keep them comfortable. I follow all feeding, walking, and medication schedules as instructed, and I make sure to give pets the attention, playtime, and quiet time they’re used to. I always keep the home clean and secure which means tidying up after the pet, locking up carefully, and being respectful of the space. I take notes on any changes in behavior, eating, or bathroom habits, and communicate regularly with updates and photos so you’re always in the loop.
“Allyson has by far been our favorite sitter!!! She has been checking in on my puppy since I first brought him home and she has been a big part in helping him get used to home. You can tell she absolutely adores him and cares for him as if he were her own!! She always communicates well, responds quickly, and has been accommodating in last minute bookings. Choosing Allyson for any of your pet care needs will definitely be a decision you won’t regret!”
About: Animals are a gift. As someone who has had dogs and cats for close to twenty years, I know how to treat all animals with the respect and care they deserve. Taking care of animals is a high responsibility that I know I am more than capable of providing. I am comfortable with all types of animals, and have experience with small and large dogs, cats, pigs, cows, and horses. I also have experience training puppies and with dogs with high energy rates. Additionally, I am always on time and think that every job, no matter the type, should be treated with the same professionalism, commitment, and respect. I have experience administering insulin and oral medications to dogs and am comfortable providing high quality care to your pet. Additionally, I am a nurse that enjoys taking care of people and animals. On days that I am at the hospital, my husband who works from home will take care of your furry friend! He is able to hang out with your pet at all times - something I’m jealous of! As a pet sitting duo, we offer a unique experience by being able to be with your pet at all times. We can't wait to meet your furry friend! :) I care for every animal with the same level of love and patience I would want my own dog to be taken care of. I think it is extremely important to provide a safe, loving environment for your pets, especially since they automatically give you their love and expect nothing in return. Additionally, I think it's important to respect everyone's space so I treat everyone's house with extreme care and respect when house sitting or performing a drop in visit.
About: I have always grown up with many dogs and cats. I am familiar with training puppies as well as administering shots to ill or old pets. I am also equipped to handle small, medium, and large dogs. I have always been around cats and dogs at home, and I find myself doing my day to day routine with animals at my side. Growing up with my family loving animals, and my aunt being a veterinarian, I have the empathy and understanding to carefully care for your pet. I have a fenced in yard at home as well as one dog. I can accommodate if you wish to have your pets separated from mine, or they can play together. If they have daily required medicines, I can also administer those.
About: I’ve had pets my entire life , from tiny chihuahuas and kittens to large mastiffs and Russian mountain dogs. Caring for animals has always been second nature to me, I truly believe they deserve the best care in return for all the unconditional love they give us. I work morning shifts on weekends, so I have plenty of time in the afternoons, and weekdays to give your pets the attention and care they deserve. I love spending my free time going for walks, playing, and making sure pets feel loved and comfortable while you’re away. Whether they’re at my home or I’m visiting a client’s place. I stick to their usual routines for feeding, walks, and care. I always give lots of attention and cuddles if the pet allows of course. I keep things clean, respect the space, and send regular updates so you know your pet is happy and well cared for.

About: I am a mom to four human children, three canine children, and one feline child, and I have two canine grandchildren. I have had animals around me every day since I was born.

When I am not with animal, I teach and practice yoga, fitness, and enjoy learning more about philosophical pursuits and functional nutrition. I am open, available, flexible.

We are beyond grateful to have found Kylie! From the very first walk, she went above and beyond to make sure our pup felt comfortable, safe, and cared for. Kylie is patient, attentive, and genuinely loves animals. Our dog lights up with excitement every time he sees her, which says it all! Kylie communicates wonderfully, always sending detailed updates and pictures that give us peace of mind while we’re away. She’s punctual, reliable, and treats our dog as if he were her own. It’s rare to find someone this trustworthy and dedicated, and we feel so lucky to have her in our pup’s life. We couldn’t recommend her more highly!
Really happy to have been able to book Gabe. He was super sensitive to my senior boys, made adjustments when they didn’t want to do what I’d planned. Gabe prioritized what he knew was most important which gave me so much peace of mind. I will definitely call him again.
Literally my favorite dog walker on this app. No lie. She sent so many photos and really cared for my dog! She seriously went above and beyond. I’m so grateful. I will be recommending her on my apartment building community app. I’m telling you- HIRE SYDNEY. You will not regret it!!
Jadyn was awesome! She took great care of our 5 month old puppy by walking him with her dog, letting them play, & feeding him. She picked up after him and communicated really well with us. She met with us prior to the first walk so her dog could meet ours to see how they interact which was much appreciated. We trust her & will definitely hire her again!
