“Brian did a great job checking in on Mochi when I had to work all day. He took him for a walk and made sure he went potty. Gave Mochi lots of treats and attention! Thanks again ?”
“Our dog Finley had an unfortunate accident before madi got to our apartment for their walk. Not only did she clean it up for us but she went out of her way to mop the floor and take our trash out afterwards! 100% recommend Madi to anyone. She goes above and beyond for the pets she looks after!”
“Very happy I hired Timothy to walk our two huskies while out of town for four nights. I have never done it before because huskies can be a handful and I never trusted anyone else to walk my dogs, including my normal pet sitter, because of how strong and unpredictable my dogs are. But, I knew our youngest would go absolutely insane without any daily enrichment. Timothy showed up promptly each morning and provided a good report on each walk and some pictures showing the dogs panting, so I knew the walk tired them out, which was the whole point. I felt so much better knowing they were getting some exercise. Will definitely use the service again.”
About: I absolutely love working with dogs! I have at least 9 years of experience taking care of dogs and cats! I volunteered in the cattery in Humane Society and walking dogs as well. I work remotely and can flex my schedule to spend time watching pets or walking your dog. I am very flexible and I can easily work with your scheduling. I have a backyard, but I prefer to walk dogs frequently and take them outside myself for fresh air and outdoor play. We have only 1 pet rabbit, and keep him separated when there is a furry house guest.
About: I have had at least one pet my entire life. I am as passionate about Cats as I am Dogs. I recently lost my 15 year old Dachshund. He was the love of my life ( sorry Husband). Currently we have three Senior Dogs. We would have more if we had a bigger home. I recently left my position as a Client Care Supervisor at a local Animal Hospital. I was there for twelve years and it was by far the best work experience I have ever had. I adore Senior Cats, Kittens and every Cat in between those life stages. Same with Dogs. Senior Dogs delight me as much as any Puppy. Any Animal in my presence is immediately my favorite Animal. During my years at the Animal Hospital I was never medically trained . I did however learn to recognize symptoms of common medical issues and signs that a Pet needs immediate medical attention. I would love to make your Pet ( or Pets ), my new Best Friend. I am currently unemployed while I participate in an advanced 300 hour Yoga Teacher Training. I have a fairly flexible daytime, night and weekends schedule. I would like to meet any pets and their owners before walking them or house sitting. I would adhere to the pet owner’s standard of care. I will provide as many photos and updates as the pet owner wants.
About: I have 10 years of experience taking care of pets! I have walked puppies, middle aged, and elderly dogs, and I love hanging out with cats as well. I am reliable, punctual, and attentive. I’m excited to meet your pet! As a recent college grad, I take care of cats and dogs in my time off from work to make some extra money on the side doing something I love :) I will follow your instructions for drop-in visits in your home and/or walks. Let me know what is best for your pet and I will do my best to follow that!
“Kevin has been walking our dog, Obi for a few weeks now. He’s always been on time and has great availability. We’ve had a few last minute (night before) bookings and he’s usually always happy to help. It’s great coming home to a tired dog and trusting that he’s getting taken care of while we are at work”
About: From growing up in a house full of furry friends, I have always loved taking on the responsibilities, but i gain most of my experience from dog sitting for family friends and coworkers! The time i’m free the most to do drop in and take your furry friends on walks would be weekdays during late morning/ early afternoon!! I take the responsibility of your furry friends quite seriously and pay attention to details to make sure everything goes smoothly and all stay safe!
About: I have close attention to detail, which is important when caring for pets. I’m able to identify behavior and appetite changes and provide proper care. I am patient, kind & caring. I have an open schedule during the summertime. When I’m not caring for others’ animals, I’m spending time loving on my own cat and often caring for my MIL’s senior dog. I pay close attention not only to giving your pet lots of love, but also their behaviors and appetite to ensure they are healthy & happy. I love to take dogs for walks and provide a comfortable and clean environment for cats & dogs. Pets can sometimes be apprehensive when meeting a new caregiver, so it’s important to be patient & kind as they get to know me and become comfortable.
“Gaby is awesome all around and attentive to my dog, Emmy’s, specific needs and personality.She is a very clear and prompt communicator, and goes the extra mile for your dog!”
About: Your dogs will love it here! Family and friends relay on me to take care of their pets while they are away. I have experience with all types of dogs and personalities. I am currently a stay at home mom of 1, with a flexible schedule. In the home we have 1 dog named Jack. If special arrangements are needed please let me know. My apartment is on a low traffic street & has a large yard with plenty of room to run.I will provide toys, treats & blankets.
About: I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, administering medications orally and topically, cats, reptiles, large mammals, and more! Happy to learn what makes your pet an individual. I work from home full time, which allows me to love on your pets even more! whether that’s going to your place during the day or them coming here, whatever works. My cats love company and I am more than happy to travel to your place. I love walks and will be so happy to take your dog on an adventure!
About: I’ve taken care of pets other than my own since seven years old. From family, to friends, to neighbors. Good with pets of all ages, phenomenal at getting stubborn senior pups to eat their food. I am currently a full-time student, with most classes landing in the 8am-4pm range. There is usually a break between, so I am available for mid-day walks/visits! I am available on some holidays. I currently live with my anti-pet parents, so caring for pets in my clients home is ideal. This is much less stressful on the pet, having their familiar environment. I am non-invasive and will respect any requests you have for my time in your home.
“Emma went above and beyond when walking our puppy! You can tell she truly cares for your fur-child and does a wonderful job. She communicates well and even took the time to come meet him before his walk! Will definitely rebook and know that our Taco will love to see her again :)”
About: I’m a dog lover! I have my own reactive pit bull so have experience with reactive and larger dogs. My dog doesn’t want to make any doggy friends but I do!

About: I have always been an animal lover. Animals of many kinds (dogs, cats, chickens, fish and other creatures) have been in my house the whole time I was growing up. Family, friends and neighbors have trusted me to walk and feed their animals while they are on vacation or away at work. I started pet sitting seriously approximately two years ago and have had multiple week long pet sitting jobs for both dogs and cats. I thoroughly enjoy being a pet owner and pet sitting and would love the opportunity to pet sit for more animals! I am a part time worker on weekends only, Saturday and Sunday, so I have plenty of time to take care of your animals throughout the week while you are away at work or on a trip. I am available to pet sit and house sit in your own home at your best convenience. I will visit your pet as frequently as you would like and will be available to hangout, walk and play with your animals while you are away.

“Walked busy a few weeks ago. Great walker sorry for the late tip”
Melissa S.
“The very first meeting with Melissa demonstrated her love of, and compassion for, animals. She immediately sat on the floor and took a "selfie" with my dog, Tadpole, a Clumber Spaniel. On their walks, Melissa has taken SO many pictures-- not because I requested them, but because she was completely engaged in the experience. I hired a dog walker because I was recovering from hip replacement surgery. Melissa has been a blessing. She is so enthusiastic, energetic, and caring-- I feel incredibly fortunate to have found such a gem for dog care! I would trust her for pet sitting, without reservation.”
