“Camille's walked my dog Odinn multiple times now. He absolutely loves going on long walks with her, I always come home to find him happy and tuckered out. Camille is responsible, a great communicator, and sends the cutest photos. I highly recommend choosing her as your dog walker!”

“Kai is doing a great job. I had surgery and needed someone to walk my dog 3x/day. He answered the call immediately, came to the house to introduce himself and appeared the next day at 7:15 AM. He has been very punctual and dependable. My dog, who doesn't like to walk with people she doesn't know, wags her tale when he comes to the door. HE is terrific!”

About: I have had four dogs ranging from a small puppy 3 pounds up to a Wheaton terrier 40 pounds which we got as a puppy and lived till 12–13, so I have experience through the entire life cycle of a dog. I love dogs but also traveling so I’m not sure I could have one of my own right now I am totally flexible. I don’t work too much and when I do, I work from home on the computer. I am available for regular walks and potty breaks for your pet. I do have balance and mobility issues so that is why I am limiting weight sitting to 40 pounds or less to make sure every one stays safe. I’m happy to take your dog for walks or to the park. There’s a great ball chasing park nearby. alternatively we can hop in the car and go to a dog park.
About: I’ve loved dogs since I was little and grew up with dogs in my family, so caring for them has always been a natural part of my life. Over the years, I’ve helped friends and neighbors take care of their pets by walking, feeding, and spending time with them. I’m patient, responsible, and I always make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. My schedule is flexible and I’m able to spend quality time with pets during the day. I’m available most weekdays and weekends, and I can adjust depending on your pet’s needs. I enjoy going on walks, playing with pets, and making sure they get attention and care while their owners are away. I believe pets should feel safe, calm, and comfortable at all times. I always pay close attention to their behavior and follow any instructions provided by the owner. I keep the environment clean and secure, and I make sure pets are supervised and well cared for whether we are indoors or outside.
About: Speciality is cats! I have two sweet cats of my own. I’ve taken care of both cats and dogs growing up. I’m open to walk, feed, play and bathe your animals! I’m also available at short notice! I’m currently a full time college student is looking for some extra cash. As it’s summer, I’m available at all or most hours! Love to answer any questions. I have a balcony that is free to roam. If your cats love to be outside like my cats but still be within reach, it’s perfect!
About: With over 25 years of hands-on experience in pet care, I bring a lifetime of love, knowledge, and respect for animals into everything I do. Growing up with dogs, I quickly learned how to read their behavior, meet their needs, and most importantly—treat them like family. I’m attentive, empathetic, and deeply in tune with animal behavior. Whether your pet needs active play, a calm cuddle buddy, or specialized care, I offer a safe and loving environment where they can feel at home—even when you’re away. With no pets of my own currently, your dog will have my full, undivided attention. I have a fenced back yard that is covered completely in shade with enough space for the dogs to run and play outside with each other
About: I have several years of experience providing pet sitting and dog walking services for family and neighbors. I’m dependable, attentive, and genuinely passionate about animal care. I’m available seven days a week, at any time of the day. I’m flexible, dependable, and happy to accommodate your pet’s specific schedule and needs. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I always use secure leashes, stay alert to surroundings, and tailor each walk to your pet’s comfort level.

Toon is the best pet walker we have had for Winston! She’s very dependable and patient. Winston is so happy to see her that he runs in circles when she arrives. He does not do that for any body except Yoon. Thank you very much Yoon for your loving care of our Yorkie!
Fariba took wonderful care of Joey, and I cannot recommend her enough. She truly went above and beyond in both her communication and the care she provided. I always felt informed and reassured knowing Joey was in such good hands. It is clear that she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after, and that meant so much to me. Thank you, Fariba, for treating Joey like your own!
Rachel is amazing! She's great with my dogs, who are suspicious and standoffish with people they don't know. She is also just a lovely human! Last weekend, while on my trip, I discovered that I had mistakenly booked her to walk my dogs the following weekend, not the one I was gone. She was able to accommodate the last minute change, and was so kind about it. Rachel is the best :)
Allexis is the best dog walker I've ever had! She is so communicative, kind, caring and flexible. My dog has struggled with some big life changes and transitions we've been going through and Allexis has been patient and loving with her. I've seen a huge difference in my dog's demeanor since Allexis and I've so grateful!
