Keit was great with my dog, Rosie! Rosie is historically nervous with walkers coming in and took to her right away. Would definitely book again!

Valerie is the best! She walks our big 85lb dog who doesn’t love saying hello to other dogs and she is always so conscientious about avoiding other dogs on their walks!

About: I’ve done over 60 sits since Jan ‘25. During this time, I’ve cared for many special needs dogs with health and anxiety issues, as well as all kinds of cats. I have a calm demeanor and patience while pets take time to feel safe around me. I tune into their behaviors to help me understand what they need. I’m attentive and love to cuddle and play. I wfh from 8am-4pm. My arrival and leave time from sits can be flexible, but need to be arranged around my job. I can do either overnight sits or check on pets daily. I care for pets in client's home only, following all the directions from pet owners on how to care for their animals. All my belongings are kept in safe places where the pets can't swallow anything or hurt themselves. I make sure there is emergency contact information available including a pet hospital, if I were to need it.

Roxy was amazing with our two dogs. She was kind, patient, accommodating and very communicative. Our dogs can be a bit of drama queens (guarding food, being reactive on leash) and Roxy took excellent care of them on the walks and in our home. We also had to make some changes to the schedule and Roxy went out of her way to meet our needs. I would highly recommend Roxy’s service! Thank you so much.

About: I’ve taken care of my sister’s dogs (golden doodle and schnoodle) throughout both of their lives. I enjoy walking dogs and getting them exercise so they can get some much needed sun! I can walk your dogs over the weekend and during the weekdays through lunch hours. Overall, I am very flexible to meet your pet’s needs! I am dedicated to adhering to the needs of your specific pet. If you prefer that your dog is crated, I will happily do that and leave them with whatever they need. Or, if you prefer to leave your dog in a certain area, I will let them stay there with the required food and water!

Olivia is a gem and we’re so glad we’ve found her! She took care of morning and midday walks for our dog, Bug, for five days and took such great care of her. She goes above and beyond and gave her extra love throughout the week. She was incredibly communicative and provided us consistent updates. Can’t recommend her enough!

About: Animals have always been a special part of my life. My home has never been without something furry or scaled or shelled. In addition to caring for my own dogs and cats over the years, I have enjoyed walking dogs and doing dog sitting and cat sitting for many friends and neighbors. I am loving, reliable and safety focused. I am also conscientious to clean up any pet mess and respect your home. I am home based and looking to fill my days and my heart with animals. My kids are in school so my schedule revolves around dropping them off and picking them up in the morning in the afternoon. As a life long pet owner myself, I know how much you care about your fur baby. I love mine too. I take a very safe, loving and risk adverse approach to pet care. I will take the time to learn from you about your pet to understand the specifics of how you want care to be handled and will follow those instructions. I am able to do walks, water checks, feedings, play time and accident clean-up if needed. I am comfortable working with pets on skills that need to be practiced and am comfortable administering oral medications if needed. I also have experience with rabbits and turtles. I look forward to loving your pet.

Lina was an absolute lifesaver! She was able to squeeze in our dog for a last-minute week of walks! The day before our dog had an unexpected procedure done and required a little more TLC than she usually does, and Lina was just the person for it! She kept me up to date on how our dog was doing and gave her extra love! We will be using Lina again and I highly recommend her!

Sophia is the absolute best, I could not recommend her more. This is the second booking she’s looked after our puppy Poppy and she’s been fabulous every time. Poppy was spayed 3 days ago, and Sophia got her to take all her pills (no small feat as our girl is very squirmy) and is incredibly patient, caring, and attentive. We are so thrilled to know Sophia and she is our go-to for puppy care.

Meg did an awesome job taking my dog for a few walks this week. From our meet and greet to her thoughtful messages and walk summaries, I can tell Meg is so caring with the pets she watches. I was so appreciative she reached out and was able to come over before a storm started to keep my dog company for a little while :) Thanks so much Meg!

Allene has been a fantastic dog walker - communicative, punctual, and great positive energy for Rango - he always nearly wags his tail off when she arrives to take him! Allene does a nice recap at the end of the walk to let us know what the walk was like and what Rango was up to. We’re happy to have Allene booked for recurring walks with Rango and know he’s in great hands!

Joel is great dog trainer and his work with Enzo helped me to overcome increasingly stressful walks with Enzo. He is mainly working on leash pooling and to take treats gently as of right now. It is work in progress, but I see improvements. Joel is responsive and helpful.
