“Donna is amazing she has been supporting us with our Husky. I just returned to work and feel so much better knowing Donna stops by 2xs on a given day to give our husky the love and attention he deserves.”


“Michael was attentive and compassionate with my old dog. And when my plans kept changing he was very flexible! Definitely would hire him again!!”


“Great experience!! Would book with Jess again!”


About: I have had multiple family dogs over the years, the current one being a cutie pie named Babka. I have a lot of experience working with dogs and would love to meet yours! I work at Starbucks and have a schedule that can be a little erratic at times, so some advance notice would be great for anything more than a day. While I have to work on location, I can usually work around this by having shorter hours or, if your house is close to my job, doing a check in while on break. I care for pets by providing basics like food, water and walks, but also by providing enrichment. A lot of the time when their owners are away pets can get depressed or anxious so it's important to provide them with a fun time!

“I recently had the pleasure of using the services of Sarah. an exceptional dog sitter and walker. She was not only friendly and compassionate towards my dog but also demonstrated a high level of professionalism and reliability. She was always on time, and her flexible scheduling (weather etc) made Toffe’s life significantly easier for a week. The way she interacted with my pet showed a deep understanding and love for animals. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring individual to look after their pet.”


“This is the second time I’ve used Charles and I could not be happier. Again, he’s right on time and the dogs think he’s great. He took them over a mile, which is what requested. Unless he’s not available when I need someone, he will absolutely be my go-to walker!”


About: Hello my name is Danny, I am a big animal lover (Which I guess would be obvious if I'm doing this lol). I have 1 cat currently, and my partner of 6yrs has 2 cats. I also grew up in a zoo basically with 3 cats, 4 dogs, a bird, 2 snakes, and a rabbit. I can't wait to meet and spend time with your animals! My work schedule is generally 7 to 5 Tuesday through Sunday, but varies slightly. It definitely keeps me busy, but I'd love to still help take care of your animals! I am a very attentive pet parent, I always make sure everyone is safe and happy. I am good at keeping pets entertained, making sure they eat (and don't steal from their siblings lol), and keeping the mischief at bay.

“Andrew is reliable and consistent. My dog is shy and he really knows how to approach her. I recommend him highly!!”


About: I Have been taking care of dogs since before I can remember! I have also lived with multiple dogs my whole life and have been around every type of breed. To add on, for some time I volunteered at 11th Hour rescue. I am currently working part time and have lots of availability Monday through Friday. Whether you may need morning, afternoon, or night I am available to do all! I always like to make sure that the dog feels its absolute saftest and I will work with you to see what will work best for your pup!

About: Growing up in a family with dogs, cats, ferrets, reptiles & more, I'm no stranger to animals! Since moving in to my now home of 8 years, I've been caring for my FILs & SILs (collective 6) dogs both on daily occasions & long stay away vacations. I have 3 young kids who also adore dogs & love to meet new ones! I am a stay at home mom of 3 kids. I love to walk dogs while strolling my twin girls, as well as housing dogs overnight in my own home (the kids will keep your pups highly entertained!). I am available all days and nights of the week, and available for last minute needs as well! We have an acre of land where my FILs dogs love to play & entertain doggy friends! (2 family house- your dogs would not be housing with any other dogs). I am flexible to stop by most and several times a day when needed to take your pups for walks, and/or drop in to let them run in the yard/feed them.

“Jasmine was communicative and helpful!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a little girl. Along with cats I’ve always loved them and loved caring for them. On my free time I visit shelters to see all the puppies and dogs. I have open availability for the most part. I only work 8-7 on Tuesday-Thursday. I am open to dog walking in the mornings and whatever is needed. I have a big home and one dog who is gated at nights. She is super friendly and kind. I also have two cats who are also very friendly. I have a big yard but unfortunately no fence.

“i had a great experience .. The dog walker arrived on time and took my puppy for a full 30-minute walk, ensuring he got the exercise he needed. I’m very happy with the service and will definitely use it again!”


About: For years, I've been the trusted pick for apartment friends when they travel. Count on me for top-notch pet care, ensuring they get plenty of exercise and tender attention. I have a lot of love to give! I currently start my days at 6AM when I go to the gym and then I do not start work (from home!) until 9AM so I have plenty of time to spare in the morning. While I have a flexible schedule, I also like to follow a strict routine regularly so adjusting to your dogs routine is an easy transition for me. When caring for pets in my own home, I provide a safe and comfortable environment. I ensure they have ample food, water, playtime, and exercise.

“Victoria has been a great help-- flexible in both schedule and circumstance. She has been responsive and communicative in scheduling consistently. The pup absolutely loves her, which is a definite bonus! Highly recommend!”


About: I have had cats and dogs growing up. I currently have 2 rescues Shamrock & Mara. Not only have I cared for a geriatric dog that was 17 and deaf, but a cat with diabetes. I’ve had a range of experiences that help me with dogs or cats with issues. My joy is in giving them as much unconditional love as they give us. I am currently working part time on mon-Fri and I’m available after 2pm. I am looking to care for your pets for drop-ins or walks. I am available most weekends for drop-ins. If you message me during my work hours I can’t respond until 2:15. My pet care includes dog walks and drop-in visits in the clients home. I care for them and love them so that you can feel at ease that they are being looked after and getting care, love and exercise.

About: Our setup is a Dog Vacation paradise! We are dog people and consider them family and have successfully raised 5 wonderful dogs over the last 20 years. We have a house on a quiet dead end street and we are the last house at the end of street. The yard is large and fenced, just about half an acre. There is also a large park next door so its like your dog is taking a country getaway vacation when staying with us. Very little noise, neighbor on only one side and very little traffic since we are at the end of the street. We have an unusually large double lot for our town. There simply is no other property here in town with this kind of space. Being the last house on the street and having the extra side lots gives us a huge fenced space for us and dogs to relax. Lots of fenced property to explore and spots to hang out. We also have a porch, an enclosed gazebo, a new kiddie doggie pool for the dogs that want to cool off, lots of grassed area to explore. We only take in 2 to 3 dogs at a time so this is like an exclusive resort for your dog and when weather doesnt permit a comfy indoors. Dogs are always with me. Inside when im inside and outside when Im outside. My wife and I currently have 2 dogs and no kids. Barney is an 8 year old lab mix that gets along with all dogs and George our 3 year old Border Collie is the pup that will probably play the most with your dog. We are also a smoke free home. Throughout the day our dogs will be inside and out. We have a porch they like to hang out on and 2 distinct connected fenced yards, one smaller directly behind the house and then a bigger side yard with tons of running and sniffing room and plenty of spots for bathroom duties. Inside the house dogs are welcome in all the rooms that we hang out in. We are and have always been VERY CAREFUL in pet proofing the house, not leaving any food, candy or medicine anywhere they can reach and safety has always been a priority. Our yard is intentionally NOT treated with any chemicals or fertilized because we know some dogs like to eat grass. Dog Safety is priority number 1. I am a very cautious and careful person so I make sure the house and enviroment is as safe as possible for the pups. Your dog should have all required shots and be fully socialized with other dogs and people at the time they stay here. They should also be house trained/broken. A meet and greet is usually required before the first stay. Thanks! I’m available for doggie daycare and boarding 7 days a week. Only when going on Vacation I will not be listed as available for these services. Dogs with any history of nipping/biting or being aggressive in a non-playing way will not be accepted. A safe environment for all animals here is very important. Thanks.

When one went out, the other stayed with him and cuddled him. They treated him like their own and I could see got attached to him as he followed them all over the house. They sent me pics of him playing and being happy every day. They cuddled him and walked him every night And when he left I could see my dog was very happy to see me but also sad to leave them as he got attached to them.
