“Amanda was fantastic. She took such wonderful care of our pups for the thanksgiving holiday and provided great updates a pictures. We plan to book her services in the future! Highest recommendation!”
“Karen did great walking Sally and Sofie. Sally and Sofie were very comfortable with Karen. I appreciated the comments she provided on the walk along with the photos. I definitely recommend Karen for your fur babies.”
“Our dog absolutely loved her walks with Olivia. I was very nervous to have someone walk our dog while out of town but Olivia was able to come for a meet-n-greet before we left. Our dog immediately took her, which was a relief. She sent us pictures through the app for every visit! Highly recommend Olivia and will be reaching out if we need her again!”
About: I have always lived with dogs since I was a small child. The last 8 years I have been house/dog sitting for a retired couple with multiple dogs. This past May I lost my 16 year old rat terrier- broke my heart. Shortly after a relative asked me to keep his chocolate lab for a week and I loved it. I miss having a dog at the house! I work full time currently from home until COVID pandemic is over. My office is 10 minutes away from home- lunch visits to the house would be made on days needed. I own my own home with a fenced in yard next door to a empty lot. I have no children do it would be just me at the house.
“Julia was wonderful when caring for our dog Freya! Our girl is very shy and nervous around strangers and Julia helped her to feel more comfortable and less anxious. I appreciated the updates of how Freya was doing as well as the adorable pictures she sent! I will definitely recommend Julia to our friends and family and anyone in need of a reliable and professional pet sitter.”
About: Hi! I am a wife and a mother of two amazing children and one very awesome dog. Not only have I had personal experience with dogs of all kinds but I have also had the pleasure of doing quite a few volunteer hours in animal hospitals. I have learned quite a bit to help keep your fur-baby safe and healthy while in my care. Also, I am comfortable with administering medicine if needed. My children are both great with dogs and love to give belly rubs and play fetch. Our fur-baby Azalea is very friendly and loves to play and share her toys/balls with any visiting friends. We are a family that loves animals and would be honored if considered to care for you loved one.
“Lindsay is incredible. Our pup loved her as do I. I trust her as does my pup. She was mindful of a meniscus issue that my girl has by allowing her to dictate a much shorter walk, and instead Lindsay stayed with her for the remainder of the scheduled time to love and play with her inside. She thoughtfully filled her water bowl before leaving, and sent me a the most wonderful pictures of their time together. I will be scheduling a weekly standing with her.”

About: I’ve always had multiple dogs in my household since I was little, so I’m very used to taking care of animals. Since I’ve moved away, I miss my dogs and other animals a lot, so I love pet sitting! I’ve watched cats, dogs, birds, and even chickens. I’m very on time when it comes to walk and feeding schedules (and bed times if that’s something you do). At home full time so I’ll have plenty of time for your babies! I’m also very organized with my schedule so if you have any preferences or restrictions for your pets, please don’t hesitate to let me know! I live near Haydel‘s Bakery in Jefferson (such a plus right?). I have a house that has a fenced in backyard as well. Very safe and quiet neighborhood, love it!
About: I have taken care of dogs all my life, big and small. I currently have a small yorkie who loves to go on long walks. I understands time outside is best for animals to get all their energy out! I am currently looking to walk dogs and do check ins on the weekends as I work during the week. I man willing to do early morning walks all the way til late afternoons. I make sure anything hazardous or dangerous is out off site. I don’t allow my dog in the kitchen just as a precaution. I also have a small gate that can be put up to ensure safety.
About: I grew up with three dachshunds and now have a sweet Great Pyrenees mix of my own. She is comfortable with pups big and small! I’d love to help other pet parents in need! I’m home on weekends and work 8:30–5 Monday through Friday, but I’m usually free before and after work to help out too. I have a fenced yard and walk my dog everyday!

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover and proud dog mom to my rescue pup, Butter. She’s been part of our family for about 7 years, and while we don’t have space for another dog at home, I definitely have room in my heart (and schedule!) for more puppy snuggles. I work from home as a freelance designer, so my schedule is super flexible to pop out for walks or visits as needed. I have a generally friendly and patient disposition, and am definitely that girl pointing out the cute dog from all the way across the street. I will take care of your pets like they’re my own and I look forward to gaining your trust! I can’t wait to hang with your pup! I work freelance from home, so my schedule is super flexible to pop out here and there as needed. Butter and I go on at least one mental health walk per day, but she's slowing down a bit these days and I could use a little more activity to pull me away from my computer screen. My top priorities when caring for pets are safety, comfort, and consistency. I always want to note your pet's routines and quirks, make sure doors and gates are secure, keep a close eye on surroundings when we're outside, and of course give lots of love. I treat each home and pet I visit with the same respect and mindfulness I’d want for my own.

First time having Cody as my pet sitter/walker and I'm so pleased with the level of attentive care and service! Cody was recommended to me by a friend with multiple pets as well for my 4 day trip out of town, and came to my house twice a day to care for my dogs during a very busy jazz festive time. Despite my dogs being very nervous and chaotic in the beginning, Cody was patient and gentle, not to mention very communicative the entire time, and my babies finally calmed down and loved their daily visits and walks. 10/10, 5 stars and will be booking with Cody in the future! Thank you!
She stayed in contact with me. Very good with my dog. I eat her in person, super nice. Great handling my dog, she can be a challenge sometimes. Walked a nice distance for the 30 mins together. Moxy was happy upon return. Valentina also follows instructions well, and was flexible with my schedule.
