“Max is a great dog walker. He keeps in constant communication, is flexible with schedules, writes in plenty of detail about the visit, and seems to genuinely care about the dogs well-being. He has done a great job with Echo!”


“My two dogs had a great time with John. My neighbor saw him walking the dogs and was impressed with his enthusiasm and care. I agree. Thanks John for helping me out. I will definitely try to book John again the next time.”


“Highly highly recommend Tena! She has been wonderful with Reese. Tena was incredibly attentive during our initial meeting, has been very communicative throughout the walks, and is very knowledgeable about pet care - her passion for dogs shows in her work.”


“My Ellie LOVES Joey ❤️ As soon as she sees him her eyes just light right up and puppy-mania consumes the rest of her lol! He is naturally very observant and catches even the smallest changes in her body language, behaviors & bark! Joey started as Ellie's walker, and now he's Ellie's friend, who walks her 💜”


“Jordana is one of the best! She went out of her way to make us feel comfortable as we left our Stella for the weekend. She sent photos and videos. Kept in contact with me throughout her walks. 100% recommend and I can’t wait to book her again in the future.”


About: I don’t just watch pets—I care for them as if they’re my own. With experience handling dogs, cats, and even small animals, I’m comfortable with everything from energetic puppies who need structure and training, to senior pets who require extra patience, gentle walks, and medication. I believe every pet deserves personalized attention, so I tailor my care to fit their personality and needs—whether that means long walks, extra playtime, calming snuggles, or sticking closely to their routines. I also make sure you feel connected while you’re away with regular updates and photos, so you always know your pet is safe, happy, and cared for. I have over 20 years of experience caring for people's children and pets. These are the most valuable possessions in ones life . I am out of work right now due to a chronic illness and since I am a Mom and need to pay bills. I'm also teaching my mature 8 year old son who loves animals about responsibility. When I care for pets, safety and comfort come first. I make sure every animal is in a stress-free, secure environment—whether I’m walking them or staying in your home. I follow your pet’s routines closely, from feeding schedules to favorite playtimes, so they feel at ease and cared for. In your home, I respect your space as much as your pet’s—keeping everything clean, secure, and as you left it. In my home, pets are supervised, get plenty of exercise, and always have a cozy, safe spot to relax. I’m also careful about introductions with other animals, secure leash handling, and keeping pets away from hazards both indoors and outdoors. My goal is to build trust—not just with you, but with your pets—so they feel loved and safe while you’re away.

“Nathan & Meredith are amazing! From arranging meet & greet, communications through app, and the thoughtful notes after every walk, they are really caring to your pets. My dog enjoys spending time with them so much!”


“Felipe was timely & thorough with his visits & provided plenty of updates throughout!”


“Samantha is awesome!!! She’s so wonderful with our dog, Larry. Highly recommend!”


“Danielle is awesome!”


About: I am a dog lover! I have been around dogs my whole life and have my own golden retriever named Buddy. I love to take dogs to the park on walks while making sure they get plenty of water and stay cool. I have flexibility to work from home which allows me to spend more time with the pups. I have time to step away for walks as needed throughout the day. I will make sure your dogs are never put into a dangerous situation. I will also make sure they are drinking enough water and staying cool on the hot days.

“Christa is so kind and even set up a meet and greet before walking Moose and Scout. She is very knowledgeable and considerate and was sure to update me with every visit.”

About: I've gained hands-on experience through helping care for my friend’s and relative’s pets over the years. This has taught me how to be patient, attentive, and responsive to different animals' needs. Whether it was walking dogs, feeding on a routine, or keeping pets calm, I learned how important it is to provide reliable, loving care. What sets me apart is that I treat every pet like family—because I’ve seen firsthand how much trust it takes to leave a beloved animal in someone else's care. As a substitute teacher, my summer schedule is very flexible, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to taking care of your pet. Without a fixed classroom schedule, I’m able to plan my days around the needs of the pets I care for—whether that’s regular walks, feeding times, play sessions, or check-ins. I enjoy having that extra time in the summer to give pets the attention and consistency they need while their owners are away. I always strive to create a calm, safe environment where pets feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. Before each stay, I ask for detailed instructions and preferences so I can follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible. I ensure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, and receive plenty of attention, playtime, or walks based on their individual needs. Communication is a top priority for me, so I provide regular updates and photos to keep owners informed and reassured throughout my time with your pet.

“First time meeting Stephanie and I know that my Golden Retriever is in capable hands! Our Golden looks forward to seeing Stephanie for more walks and playtime in the future! Thank you so much!”


About: Hi, I’m Gina! I’ve been caring for animals most of my life — from cats and dogs to bunnies, birds, and even the occasional reptile. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or calm and cuddly, I meet them where they are with patience, love, and attention to detail. I understand that every animal has a unique personality and routine, and I take pride in creating a safe, stress-free experience while you’re away. Whether it’s feeding, walks, medications, or just keeping them company, your pet will be in kind, capable hands. I work remotely most of the time, so I’m available throughout the day on both weekdays and weekends. Your pet will have plenty of company, and even when I do step out, it's never for more than a few hours at a time. I’m also available for early morning and evening care to fit your pets routine. I treat every home and pet with the utmost respect and care. I follow detailed instructions closely to keep routines consistent—whether that’s meal schedules, medications, playtime, or crate training. I make sure pets feel secure and supported while you’re away, and I keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you have peace of mind.

About: I can clean up crates, help with administering meds, give baths to small dogs, but mostly it’s the love and companionship that fills my heart. I am newly retired, can’t wait to care for your baby / babies as well as keeping each other company. Available Monday through Friday flexible. I will work closely with your schedule and provide the love and support as if mommy or daddy were home. Bonding and trust is crucial.

About: I have experience watching 2 pound dogs up to 200 pound dogs! I also can handle more than one dog at a time! I love the gym, the beach and going for walks. I am in school for nursing specializing in pediatrics. Would love to care for your furry child ! I even make dog birthday cakes on the side ! Message me if you one !! 🤎 I have an English bulldog puppy and Newfoundland puppy so taking care of a pet especially the most needy breed fits right in my daily routine. I treat their house/pet with the same respect I would want from a dog sitter/ house sitter! I always text back fast so never have to worry and take tons of pictures of the fun adventures! Leave lights on so house doesn’t look alone , bring in trash cans, mail , water plants !

“Alex is amazing! She’s super caring and the best walker we could ask for. From the first walk, she’s been so patient, especially with one of our dogs who’s a bit shy. Alex goes above and beyond, always making sure they’re comfortable and safe, and you can tell she genuinely loves spending time with them. Our dogs are always excited when she shows up and come back happy and relaxed. If you want someone who treats your pets like her own, Alex is the one!”


About: Growing up on a farm I was always caring for animals. Since I could walk I was around horses, pigs, goats, dogs, cats, birds and more! I loved every minute of it but then grew up and went away to school. I currently have 3 dogs of my own but I am comfortable with any animals. I have also taken care of puppies to senior dogs who could not walk and/or see. Pet care for me is a daily part of my schedule as I start and end my day taking care of my own pups. I love caring and spending time with them even more than people most of the time. I would love to add yours into the mix whether they come to hang at my home or I drop in to visit, walk, feed. Whatever is needed. I have a fenced in yard and 3 dogs. I would also offer services in your own home from stopping to let them out to use the bathroom to walks, playtime, feeding. There is no request too small. I can also offer to provide meds if needed. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets!!

About: On top of taking care of my own dog I have overnight dog sat dogs with specific diet needs and enjoy pets more then anything! I’m currently a college student looking for extra income and have several hours between classes to check in on pups! I also have lots of weekend availability. I always follow client directions directly and ensure the proper diet and safety requirements are always being met with your dogs! Safety is highly important!

“Ashley is a very responsible dog owner. She currently has one dog, a Golden Retriever named Buddy! When Buddy was younger, he ended up having seizures, and now Ashley has to give Buddy medicine to try and prevent seizures. She loves and cares for Buddy, and would give that same love to any dog she cares for if she is given the chance. I recommend Ashley to anyone who has a dog who needs a pet sitter/dog walker, as well as wanting their dog to get a little extra tender, love, and care!”
