“Mandy was AMAZING!!! She was very flexible to come help us on short notice. She took our dog on great walks, and stayed over to play fetch with her. She also takes amazing photos! We will definitely be using Mandy again in the future”

Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, or cozy cuddles on the couch, we tailor our care to your dog’s personality and needs. We have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and we’re comfortable administering medications, following special routines, and giving extra attention to senior dogs or pets with anxiety. You can count on regular updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your furry friend is in good hands. Let us know how we can help—we’d love to meet you and your pup! Caring for pets is a natural part of our everyday life. Whether it’s morning walks, playtime breaks throughout the day, or evening wind-down cuddles, we build our daily routine around the needs of the animals in our care. Lesley studies from home and Josh works nights and weekends. Your pets will have consistent attention, regular potty breaks, and plenty of love. Your pet won’t just be a guest—they’ll be part of my routine, enjoying structure, safety, and companionship all day long. I believe animals thrive on consistency, and I’m committed to making them feel secure, cared for, and right at home. Your pet’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. We understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. That’s why we’ll create a calm, secure, and loving environment where pets can relax and feel at home—even when you’re away. With experience caring for pets of all ages and needs, we’ll follow your instructions carefully, keep routines consistent, and always provide supervision and safe play. Whether it’s medication administration, leash safety, or simply making sure your pet gets the love and attention they deserve, you can count on us. We treat every animal like our own—with respect, patience, and kindness. Your peace of mind matters just as much as your pet’s happiness!

“Katie is the best sitter! Super communicative and shows that she cares for my dog. I’ve used Katie as a sitter on many occasions and will continue to do so. I highly recommend booking with Katie!”

“Amy was great! She followed all the instructions for caring for our kitties and they were happy and healthy upon our return.”

Jordan R.

“Olivia is enthusiastic and committed to doing the best for your pets. My two big dogs loved her, and she handled the responsibilities of not only my dogs but an Amazon parrot, and two reef tanks. She followed my specific instructions very well. I can recommend her for any house sitting visits you may need for your dog (or other creatures!).”

“Kenneth gave my pup plenty of love, cleaned up after an unfortunate accident (Puppyhood! Gotta love it), and sent lots of cute photos to make us feel comfortable. He took great care of her during his multiple visits today and he shows great care and love for other’s animals!”

Kayla M.

“Meridith is a treasure! She was a last minute booking for a holiday and we were so fortunate to find her. She was dependable, friendly and spent quality time with my boy. Thank you so much Meridith!”

About: My day job is as a wildlife biologist, and I have worked with everything from Japanese giant salamanders to gopher tortoises. I have watched pets for neighbors and friends for years and love dogs especially! I am free in evenings (5pm or later) and weekends pretty consistently (I work full time as a wildlife biologist during the day). Happy with long or short walks, even on hot days. I don't have any pets at home right now, but I am comfortable with a wide variety of animals. I am skilled at reading animal body language and always strive to make pets feel safe.

“I'm very pleased that Jamalia attends to my cat's needs, like providing Ruby with fresh water and cleaning her litter. She also spends time playing with Ruby before leaving my house. Ruby appears relaxed around her and seems to like her.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs most of my life and have lived with multiple cat owners as well. I feel like pets like my calm and loving demeanor 😊 I enjoy the flexibility this profession allows and I love the outdoors. If your pet wants a long walk in the sun or just needs to stretch its legs in the backyard I’m down for either! 😁 I feel as though my laid back demeanor is great for working with animals and even the pickiest cats have fallen for me. I’m great at reading the body language of animals and know when they want a belly rub or when they want me to sit six feet away.

“I was a little nervous how my dog would be with a stranger, but Amber made him feel comfortable and even had excited to see her wanting to play! I will definitely be rebooking her again!”

About: My experience includes 20+ years of pet ownership, 10+ years of dog walking on a part time basis in the Riverside/Avondale area. We can walk at a fast pace, if requested by your dog. Or we can lazily meander our way around the neighborhood. We can also play games like fetch, tug, hide and seek, etc., and practice basic obedience with rewards like treats or play. I have a long leash we can use as well if requested, which I find is a nice way to allow the dogs to explore more freely in less busy areas like parks or backstreets. At the moment I am doing a few different types of gig work, so my schedule is flexible and I may be able to accept bookings with very short notice. When walking dogs, I usually attach their leash to my body using a hands free leash mechanism as an extra safety measure and to allow myself to walk more easily at a faster pace, if the dog is up for that. Generally, I will maintain a safe distance from other dogs (and cats) walking around to be sure that no incidences occur. Except to send you updates, I will not use my phone while with your dog. My attention will remain on your dog and the walk. Otherwise, it is important for me that I am patient and gentle with all dogs in my care and that I do not make them feel uneasy or anxious on our walk.

“My babies love Patrick, it's so nice to see them happy when he comes and visits my boys! He is always on time and creates play time with both of them!”

“Erika is calm, trustworthy, and knowledgeable. She has been coming to my house to do midday drop ins for my two sighthounds. They are usually reserved around new people, but Erika won them over right away. Highly recommend!”

Andrea D.

“First time. I have no complaints. She cleaned up what was unexpected. It was also very short notice but was great at responding back. I really appreciate it!”

“During my 2-week absence, Christian did a fabulous job caring for my cats Tommy and Coco. Because she was communicative and responsive, I experienced no anxiety about leaving them in her care. Christian sent me wonderful pictures and texts that reflected her extraordinary gift for compassionate caregiving. Tommy and Coco were obviously happy and stress free because Christian loved and cared for them as I do. My cats were literally crazy for her, as she spoiled them rotten. Amazingly, Tommy posed in pictures with Christian, as if she’d raised him from a kitten; and my skittish Coco, who normally hides from strangers, allowed Christian to regularly find her “hiding.” I give Christian my highest praise for a job exceptionally done. I could not have been more pleased. Not only is she professional and courteous, Christian has a phenomenal gift of spirit. For anyone seeking pet care of excellent quality, I would recommend Christian. In the future, she will be my first choice to care for my Tommy and Coco.”
