“Elizabeth is a fantastic dog walker! She is very communicative and provides lot of pictures and a full report of her time with my dogs. I trust her with my pups and will continue to use her 🥰”


“Kelly is sweet, caring and responsible. She was able to fit us into her schedule despite having prior arrangements. She sent me lots of pictures and a detailed update after walking my dog. Both my dog and I loved meeting her and will definitely book again.”
“Claire was absolutely amazing! She took care of our two dogs for two weeks and treated them like her own. Super reliable, communicative, and clearly an animal lover. We came home to happy, well-exercised pups and couldn’t be more grateful for the peace of mind she gave us while we were away. Highly recommend Claire to anyone looking for a responsible and caring dog walker!”

“Linda does a wonderful job walking our two nervous pups. They are unsure of strangers but she gives them time to warm up to her. I feel very comfortable having her walk them. Recommend!”
“Vanessa and her partner were very sweet, caring and diligent when caring for my dog Finn. They took him on long walks and provided lots of photos and summaries of their time together. Thank you for taking such good care of my pup!!”

“I would happily recommend Madison! Communication was excellent, she was prompt, and my dog was very happy to take walks with her. Also, I enjoyed the photos she sent. Thanks, Madison.”


About: As a speech therapist for 10 months out of the year, I primarily work with children and enjoy spending summers outdoors with my own dog, Cooper. I have 10 years of experience pet sitting and dog walking, through Rover as well as for friends and neighbors. I am comfortable maintaining your dog’s training and walking routines to ensure safe, fun walks together! (Cooper will stay at home, he is a whole lot of 100 lbs and receives his own walks. He does not resource guard and has never been a bite risk). I’m looking to dog walk and/or dog sit in the summer, when I am off from my public school job. This would be during the months of July and August, but depending on the hour I can be available before July (after 4:30 pm). During the summer I have a very flexible schedule. I have a fenced in yard and a split level home. I can keep our dogs separate or introduce them depending on your preference and whether they can acclimate (Cooper is a big boy but docile and friendly).

“Amanda walked my dog today for the first time. She sent me some great photos which showed me that my dog looked relaxed and really enjoyed her walk. I'm already planning on using Amanda again.”

“She was so incredibly sweet and thoughtful. It was a luxury to not have to worry about Hazel while I was at work, I knew she would get the love/cuddles/play she was looking for on days with her. And the ability to relieve someone of stress by a service that she is clearly great at, that’s a win win”

About: I give personalized care to every pet. I also have experience with dogs, whether it’s reinforcing basic training or providing attentive care, I adjust my approach to fit them. I plan my schedule around consistency and reliability. I make sure pets get timely walks, meals, playtime and specific care they need. Caring for pets isn’t something I squeeze in, it’s something I intentionally structure my time around. In a client’s home I focus on maintaining their normal schedule so they feel comfortable in their familiar environment. In my home, I create a safe, calm space where they can relax and feel at ease.
“Jillian was fantastic with my dog who doesn't always warm to strangers. She's be so happy to see her every day. Jillian was very punctual and communicative. She sent detailed updates every day. I highly recommend her!”


About: I have had dogs in my house for as long as I can remember (since I was four, to be exact) - I know how to deal with the barking, gently wrestle a leash onto the wriggliest of pups, feed them on schedule even when they beg for early dinner, and give them all the love they could possibly need. I have walked, fed, and cleaned up after my dogs for years, and I am so excited to get to do that for other pups too! I am a college student home from school and have extreme flexibility with my schedule. I have a car, so I can drive to your house to take care of your pooch as needed at almost any time between 8 am and 6 pm. The most important thing for me when taking care of pets is their comfort. As much as I love to cuddle our fur babies, if they don’t like physical touch I will give them their space. I am happy to play tug of war, fetch, and even let them chase me around outside (I understand needs change depending on the breed). I feed them as instructed and on schedule (having trained myself to resist even the cutest of puppy eyes begging for extra treats) and make sure they only get what their owners have left for them to have. I also love taking dogs on walks for exercise, both for their sake and my own!
About: Fourteen years of taking care of small to large dogs. I own a 100lb Australian Shepherd lab mix. I can walk, run, visit with them and will ensure their happiness and safety is number one priority. If they have specific dieting or exercise needs, please let me know. I’m available 7 days a week and do this as my full time job so will like repeat visits. I’ve been very helpful in walking much larger dogs too and can lift them if needed. If your pet has a handicap I’m very careful to their needs and can work with them however you need. I have a cart too that I bring on walks for dogs that are recovering or have an injury so they can still enjoy the outdoors or move around.
“Stella loved going for walks with Mike and always came back worn out lol which is exactly what I wanted. Mike was punctual, kind, and always treated Stella with care. Would 100% recommend him.”

About: I have 4+ years of experience working as a vet assistant/technician, working with cats and dogs. I enjoy working with all types of animals, and can administer any necessary medications. I am comfortable with all types of pets of all different sizes and behaviors. I currently work 3-4 days of the week full time at a vet clinic, so would be better suited to take care of lower maintenance pets on those days. I am free all day when I am not working, and can be around to take care of pets full time then (I.e. walking, socializing, feeding, etc). I live in a household with 2 other dogs - both very friendly, calm and playful. For dogs, I will make sure to take them on a daily walk, and they will also be free to go in and out of the house as they please when at home (my yard is fenced). I am very conscious of the importance of spending time/being around the pet and not leaving them alone for long periods of time.
