Dawn is awesome! After the third day Smokey didn't even look back at me. He saw Dawn and was was tugging at the leash to go. She even worked with me to split his walking time up when he couldn't make it back home one day. He's an old pup. I would highly recommend Dawn to anyone.

BEST Dog Walker I’ve ever worked with- hands (paws) down! Ilana is organized and dependable. She got my little dog to trust and love her which in itself is a miracle. My neighbors told me how impressed they were that Ilana was walking the dogs without headphones to pay attention and steer clear of other dog interactions because they were new dogs for her. She’s caring, smart and also takes great pictures. We all love her and will continue to use her.

About: With over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, I bring a deep understanding, patience, and genuine love to every walk. For the past two years, I’ve been professionally dog walking—and I can confidently say I’ve never loved a job more. Dogs aren’t just part of my work, they’re truly my passion. I have a special place in my heart for pit bull breeds and am a strong advocate for them, but my care and dedication extend to dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. Whether your pup needs exercise, structure, or just a little extra love, I treat every dog as if they were my own—reliable, attentive, and always with their safety and happiness as my top priority. I currently own my own dog walking business but I am always looking for new fur friends to walk and spend time with! A tired dog is a happy dog! I am happy to walk, refresh water, feed if needed and get your dog out and moving to get any extra energy out! I'm very attentive to the dogs I walk making sure they stay safe in my care.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have years of experience caring for them through dog sitting, house sitting, and pet sitting. I personally raised and trained one of my dogs from puppyhood—teaching crate training, potty training, and fun tricks—so I understand the patience and consistency pets need. I’m a reliable, respectful sitter who treats every home and pet as if they were my own, making sure your furry family members feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I’m quite flexible with my schedule, and this role is currently my main work priority. Because of that, I’m able to plan my days around each pet’s needs and routine. My goal is always to provide consistent care, attention, and genuine love to every pet I care for. At my home, your pup will enjoy a safe, fenced yard and the company of my two friendly dogs for plenty of playtime and socialization. I can also care for pets in your home if that’s what makes them most comfortable. Whether it’s walks, boarding, overnight stays, or crate care, I’m happy to help with whatever your dog needs—no task is too small or too big. My goal is always to make your pet feel loved, secure, and right at home!

About: I have cared for dogs for over 25 years. I have cared for and trained all ages, including elderly dogs that requires daily medicine. We have 3 dogs ourselves, which keeps us busy with potty breaks, regular walks, and family time. We also have a blind dog who needs some additional care and support, but enjoys the same high quality life as her sisters. I am a high school teacher, from Manhattan Kansas, visiting my mom in the summer break. This is a good fit for my summer break. I am looking forward to a relaxing schedule (since teaching can have a strict schedule) and spending time with some furry friends. I will care for other peoples pets the same as I would my own, with care, love and compassion. I would get the inside scoop on the animals from the owner, to learn the ropes for the unique animal and setting, and then I would ensure the pet is socialized and cared for in a respectful and professional manner.

Respect everyone how they should be treated with love and compassion. I am loyal I work full time in the veterinary field but need some extra pay to help pay for childcare have experience with all dogs and cats Since i have a dog that’s picky with other dogs i would prefer to sit in your home unless my dog was comfortable with it she has stayed before at my parents house with their dogs I have an open work schedule, therefore daily visits and weekend visits are what I offer!

This will include play time and giving them all the extra love while you are away! Walk, feed, sleep repeat .she loves walks and sniffing everything.

About: I've been taking care of my dog ever since I was 10 and the routine slideshow presentations finally convinced my parents that I was ready to take care of a puppy. For the past 8 years I've been caring for my dog, Liberty, by bathing her, brushing her, walking her daily, refilling her food and water, giving her a treat every morning, administering her medicine, and training her in basic commands such as "sit", "stay", and "down". I've also loved dogs my whole life (I'm allergic to cats) and have bonded with many over the years. I'm looking to make another dog as happy as I hope my dog is when we leave for vacation and get her a sitter; I'm excited to meet both of you! I'm currently attending UC Berkeley and will be home for the summer so I would be able to drop by and check in on/walk your fur baby any time on the weekdays and weekends. I have experience providing care to for my dog and my friend's dogs/puppies and would love to be able to do so for a client. I'm qualified to come in and feed, bathe, walk, brush, and play with your fur baby/babies. I'm familiar with accommodating for the needs of different pups. If there are any special circumstances, such as medications, I would learn how to administer them correctly.

About: Hi, I’m Samantha—your pet’s new favorite human. My friends voted me “Most Likely to Come Home from a Girls Weekend with a Dog,” and I wear that title proudly. I’ve been caring for animals my whole life—from horses and dogs on my grandparents’ farm to fostering pets and building cat walls in my spare time. I speak fluent cat and dog (yes, I understand the slow blink and the “where are you?” meow). I’m upbeat, funny, and dependable—and I’ll treat your fur-kids like family. When Auntie Samantha visits, pets get greeted first. It’s not personal—it’s priorities. I aim to build respectful, lasting partnerships with pet parents, and I’ll keep you updated with pics and notes so you always know your pet is safe, loved, and maybe a little spoiled. Since I work from home and for myself, my work schedule is very flexible. I enjoy helping others care for their four legged kids, since I remember never having enough time when I was younger. Our fur kids are very used to new siblings coming in the home. We have been fostering for PACT FOR ANIMALS for years. They provide foster homes for military personnel.

About: I've taken care of all kinds of dogs since I was 10. I used to walk my neighbors dogs locally and throughout the years I have taken care of all kinds of dogs. Specifically large breeds. Some of the dogs I have taken care of include, an 8 month old Cane Corso and a 1 year old Staffordshire in the same house, two Italian Marmmano (livestock guardians) and their goats, bully breeds, golden doodles and golden retrievers. I currently have 2 senior pitbulls, one of which takes medication twice a day because of a past head injury. At my college I worked and lived on my school farm. I was working around the clock caring for our cattle, pigs, sheep, and dogs. I worked in the kennels for 2 years where I walked and trained many shelter dogs from litters of puppies to senior dogs. I'd invite dogs in my trailer to work on house training which gave them a better chance at finding homes, and many did. More of my responsibilities on the farm included assisting in the birthing of cattle, sheep, and pigs and doing various medical procedures when needed. My background is mainly in raising livestock. I started in a youth organization (4H) when I was 10 where I've owned and trained all my own show animals that include goats, sheep, pigs, cattle, chickens, turkeys, and rabbits. In highschool I was part of FFA (Future Farmers of America) and I became the president of my FFA Chapter. I also have 10 years of horse experience and take care of multiple people's horses on a regular basis. I not only work with large animals but I have experience caring for birds like finches, cockatiels, and parrots. I am currently studying Animal Science and would like to become a veterinarian. I have a strong passion for animals since I was 10 and that is why I want to continue to devote my life to taking care of them. I am currently in school and have classes Monday until 12pm and Wednesday all day. Other than Monday and Wednesday I have plenty of time to walk, play, and check in on dogs. I also am available to stay overnight for any duration of time. I have found letting dogs stay in their home with their routine reduces almost all the stress of their favorite people being away. I strive to keep the pets normal routine. That includes feeding times, walks or other forms of exercise, playing, and bathroom accessibility. I have cared for over 100 dogs in my 2 years working at my schools kennel, we ensure all dogs get the proper exercise and enrichment.

I can’t say enough great things about David! He is patient, reliable, kind, and truly goes above and beyond. Our foster dog Lady is a very large, hyper terrier mix with little structure or social skills, and she can be overwhelming for most people. David has never been intimidated by her and always shows up with a smile, ready to give her the best care. Lady absolutely adores him — even when she gets overly excited and jumps all over him, he handles it like a total pro. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing my pets are in such loving, capable hands. We will absolutely continue using David for Lady and any future foster dogs!

Chris has been amazing! We have a strong high energy Belgian Malinois who we needed an experienced walker to exercise. Chris was able to take immediate control over him and does a great job tiring him out. He takes Cono’s experience seriously, provides feedback and recommendations and most importantly Cono loves going with him. We are so thankful to have found Chris!
