“Jessica‘s walked my dog several times now. She always shows up exactly what time she says she will be there and does a great job with my dog. I’ll be using her more in the future.”
“Grace was so helpful and quick to respond to a last minute request! She took great care of Cookie and brought in some packages that were left on our porch without being asked! We will definitely be booking her again!”
“Avery was great! Chef had a great walk with her and showed off his love of sticks. Took great pictures and provided updates. Would love to have her care for Chef again.”
About: I’ve been a pet lover since I was a kid, and have owned cats since age 4. Currently I’ve got 2 Maine Coon (big) cats and 2 kids! If you need drop ins for home, pet, and/or plant care, I’d love to help. Rest easy knowing that your caregiver is a responsible adult mom who can follow a routine, stick to a plan, and send you cute pictures. I’m currently a stay at home mom, and my kids are in school or summer camps most days! My best hours are between 9am and 3pm, with “tuck in” availability after 7:30pm. I’d be happy to accommodate your pet’s usual schedule as much as possible and stick to familiar routines to reduce the stress they feel without you there with them.
“Amy jumped in when we needed a walker last minute. She communicated well, was on time, and we came home to two happy pups. Our pups can be difficult on the leash and Amy did a great job managing them. We look forward to working with her again.”
About: With over 10 years of experience with dogs, I became the go-to person for friends and family — and soon their friends started calling me, too. I’ve also fostered for a local nonprofit animal rescue, though my schedule doesn’t allow me to have my own dog right now. I’ve cared for every kind of pup, from teacup Yorkies to sheepadoodles, and all ages from 3 months to 16 years. I’m comfortable with walks, feedings, baths — and if they need extra patience, daily meds, or a little more cuddle time, I’m here for it. My goal is for your pet to feel just as happy and secure with me as they do with you. My schedule varies since I’m in physician assistant school, but I can always make time! On weekdays, I’m available for walks/ drop-ins in the early mornings, afternoons, or evenings depending on the day. I’m also available most weekends. While I’m not able to board dogs in my home, I’m happy to stay at yours so your pet can stick to their routine and feel comfortable in their own space. I’m super flexible!! I’ll care for your pets exactly the way you do. I follow instructions closely, so everything feels comfortable while you’re away. I’m respectful of your home, keep things tidy, and make sure your pets are safe, happy, and loved!
“Brittany was great with our two doodles! They loved her right away and it's clear that she has a lot of experience with dogs. She's very responsive, flexible and gives us great updates. We will definitely continue to work with her and recommend her highly!”
“Elizabeth was great. She did a meet and greet with my dog prior to the first walk. She was professional, great with communication, and she was very patient with Riley. I would definitely recommend her.”
“Jora was great! Both of our fur babies loved her immediately. She helped us on pretty short notice which was awesome, too! Jora kept us up to date with pictures & a sweet message during both her visits.”
“I can’t recommend Lierin enough! She is extremely dependable, communicative, and adaptable to our changing schedules! She was also so accommodating and caring when when our poor guy was going through heartworm treatment. (She even checked in on him on the day of his treatment!) We were nervous leaving him during the day but it gave us such piece of mind knowing she was caring for our boy. Not to mention she sends you the BEST pictures of your pup every walk! I wish I could give her more stars!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 7 years-old, and my parents told me our family dog was my responsibility. I have had six dogs of my own over the years, including one foster dog that I had for several years. I have dog sat for many of my friends and neighbors over the years, as everyone knows how much I love dogs! I currently work from home in New Orleans and spend all day with my loveable Golden Retriever, Louie! He gets along very well with other dogs and is happy to host them in his house and backyard. We would love to care for your best canine friend as well! I currently work fulltime from home so I am able to be home nearly all of the day with your dog(s). I will be at home on the computer or on the phone so your dogs will be with me almost all times of the day. I know what it's like to leave your dog babies with other people when you travel so I try to give them as much attention as I can. I'll also keep you well updated while you're gone as well.
“Lauren was an excellent dog walker! Our dog Mabel loved her and we felt at ease knowing she was getting some great exercise when we weren't able to be home. Lauren also wrote fun, detailed "report cards" that made us smile every time we got one! Would definitely work with her again.”
