About: I have over 20 years of experience watching family and friend’s pets. I do over-night stays in your house with your pets, and dog walking. I’ve worked with dogs, cats, fish, and even lizards. I’m able to give medications, and I’m very good with senior pets. I was recently laid off and have completely open availability at the present time. I enjoy walking and would be happy to do that with your pet. I’m also available for home/pet-sitting during vacations. I have a senior cat who doesn’t do well with other animals so I can’t provide care in my home, but I have extensive experience providing care in my client’s homes. I respect my client’s homes and privacy - I do not bring guests into their homes or go through their belongings. I will keep your dog on-leash during walks but am happy to play with your dog in your yard or approved dog park.
“Did an amazing job with Jasper! He got a good walk in and got to see his friends at Riverside Park. Commicated very well and took lots of pictures! Will definitely be using again and hopefully they get to hang out some more!”
“Sheila was by FAR the best walker we have used on this app! She was incredibly nice, understanding, and punctual! The dogs immediately liked her and she made a great routine to make them feel super comfortable. I can’t recommend Sheila any higher! 10/10 service!!!!! Communication was superb!”
“Thank you Lingli! You were kind, prompt and super communicative! I will be booking again soon. Thank you for taking care of Coffee and making him and me feel comfortable.”
“Christine spent the extra time to meet and get to know my German Shepherd girl before walking her. My girl was very comfortable with her and the walk went very well for both of them.”
“Aaliyah has been so great with walking my pup Siku! I really wanted to establish a regular walker for my dog and Aaliyah has been nothing short of amazing. She is super responsive, very flexible, and provides updates during the walk. So glad I ended up booking with her!”
About: I’ve been a dedicated pet parent since 2017, caring for both a snuggly, fluffy longhair and a speedy, energetic shorthair. To give the best care possible, I’ve done a course in Animal Communication with the ASPCA (yes, I really listen!) and am currently taking classes in Feline/Canine Toxins and Stress Reduction—so your fur babies get the gentle, loving, intentional care they deserve. Can't wait to meet your 4 legged family members! I'm currently taking online classes for Medical Assisting (CCMA) so it will be pretty easy to fit pet care (especially house sitting) into my schedule! I really like to keep things clean in between feedings and make sure their environment comfortable enough to eat and drink in. As you know, if a cat's water bowl isn’t fresh, cats might just flirt with dehydration.
“Anna has been walking our dog for two weeks now and is amazing! We really appreciate how she handles our sometimes energetic and reactive dog. She is always on time and very reliable!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Emma! I highly recommend her. She is so considerate to your and your pets’ needs, always timely, detailed in all of her walk reports, and takes the best pictures! I have had her for weekly walks with my fur baby for the past year and can say with trust and confidence, she’s one of the best.”
About: I am a cat mom and fellow dog foster mom. I have experience with anxious pets, medications, and emergency situations. I have administered oral and syringe medications in elderly cats and dogs. I currently am working from home and am very flexible time wise and will work with you to figure out the best schedule for your babies. I will take your pet’s safety as my number one priority in and outside of the house! I will always be on the lookout for behavior and health changes, and will ensure communication at all times.
About: I have been raised around all types of animals. Dogs were a staple family member of course (usually about two or three at a time, given the space) but we also had reptiles of all kinds, various rodents, and in adulthood my fiancé and I have two cats, and a small handful of snakes! I just love working with animals! My day job is pretty flexible, and when it’s not the hours let out at a reasonable time more often than not, so I’m usually free at some point in any given day! I’m very good at reading dogs and cats body language to pick up on any possible problems they may be facing. My cats at home are used to regular grooming, vet check ups, and of course lots of snuggles (and the right amount of treats!)
About: I’ve always been surrounded by pets. I grew up in a farmhouse with two kittens and a cat. Back home, I have three dogs who are super energetic and require a lot of attention. I’ve watched dogs in my neighborhood for around five years. I truly believe every pet can be “good” with the right care and attention. As a college student who moved out of state, it can feel isolating sometimes, and being around animals brings me so much comfort. I love spending time with furry friends and always treat them like my own. My schedule is very open right now since I’m a freelance dancer mostly staying in the city to work on choreography. Because of that, I’m super flexible and can easily fit pet care around my own routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m always respectful of their space and make sure to keep everything clean and just as I found it. I follow any instructions closely and give pets lots of love and attention while making sure they stay safe, happy, and comfortable in their own environment.
“Jenna was great- she had availability at the last minute, was super quick to respond to messages, and the peace of mind that came from her text updates about picking up the pup and their hangout together was so worth it. I'd definitely use her services again!”

“Sam has been amazing with the dogs. We were home one day and saw how excited they were to see her, which is always heartwarming to see. Couldn’t be happier with her care of our pups.”

Naomi L.
“Naomi is a very responsible, caring and loving friend. She helped me foster a puppy from Mid City Mutt Mamas last year and never stopped giving him love and cuddles (even after I fully adopted him myself). She is incredibly good with pets and loves them unconditionally. I told her multiple times that if anything were to happen to me, I’d leave tucker (the puppy we fostered together and that I adopted) with her. I know she paid attention to him during their time together, she knows his routine, his favorite toya, knows how to play with him and how to comfort him. She is the most responsible and organized young adult I know and I admire her for that. She is a great choice for a foster mom for a pet!!”
Jordan M.
“Jordan is loving and caring when it comes to all animals. He has experience ranging from dogs and cats all the way to exotic animals like snakes and marsupials. He does a great job connecting with them and does everything he can to make sure they feel safe. When it comes to animal care, Jordan is timely and responsible. I cannot think of a better person to have around my babies!!”
Allyson D.
“Allyson is wonderful with dogs, big or small! She genuinely enjoys walking them, playing with them in the backyard, and spending time with them. She’s super patient, even with dogs that bark a lot or act out, and always stays calm and kind. Allyson pays attention to their needs and always puts their well-being first. She loves taking pictures of dogs too and sending them to their owners because she knows how much people love their pups! You can feel completely at ease leaving your dog in Allyson’s care…she’ll treat them like her own.”

Naya R.
“Naya assisted me with taking care of my two kittens while I was away from home, and she was absolutely wonderful! She brought treats and kept them entertained throughout the whole visit. She even went the extra mile and brought a few cardboard boxes to build little cat houses for them. I was thoroughly entertained watching my fur babies jump from box to box and run through their new little homes. I highly recommend Naya. She’s caring, creative, and clearly loves animals!”
