“Nancy stepped in with short notice to cover for my usual dog walker. She was very responsive and even made time for a meet and greet with my pup before the scheduled week of dog walking. She checked in daily, sent pics and was super detailed in her describing her outings and play with my good boy. I highly recommend Nancy and will definitely be booking with her again.”


“Alexandra has been so incredibly helpful in walking Linus a couple days a week for me! She keeps me updated at all times and Linus is very comfortable with her. I’m so grateful for her service!”

“Angelina was great with our dogs and I was nervous at first because of our breed of the 2 dogs and the size of our bigger dog most people are afraid of pits or are not to fond of them but she handled it very well. Did everything she was supposed to plus more. She was super kind and patient and our dogs loved her instantly. She provided great communication also. I wouldn’t know what we would have done without her while we were out of town but she gave me some relief. This was my first time and experience with the app and I loved it. I would rebook Angelina if I ever need assistance with Brick and Yola again. No matter the height or weight of a dog it didn’t scare her off , nor the excessive barking at times and the fact they love to jump on people lol. She was genuine and loved every moment from my understanding.”

“Great walkers :)) so friendly and accommodating. I appreciate when a walker does their best to do long distance walks in 30 minutes. In a dream world, I’d love to pay for an hour but just can’t afford it right now, so having a walker that is putting in the effort, means so much. Nothing better than a tired dog!”
“Owen has been great! I can tell our pup looks forward to seeing him. He provides feedback on the walk and even helps reinforce the training habits we’ve been working on implementing with our dog. It’s fun to see the photo updates from the walk he provides. 5 stars.”

About: As a groomer of dogs and cats, I've worked with hundreds of animals of all temperaments. Anxious or shy pets are not a problem! I've also worked to help train service animals of various breeds as well as past training on my late dog who struggled with anxiety related behavioral issues. Large or small, I can handle them all. Counter surfers, timid, low energy, high energy, etc., they all are lovable and can be cared for by me. I never stop learning about animals and will continue to grow alongside them as we adventure together! I have a wealth of knowledge and experience to ensure they have the best time possible while in my care. I'm experienced in medication administering and senior animal care as my cat is a senior who requires medication daily, as well as my late dog who required it as well. I frequently update and send photos of your happy family member(s), and if extra services, special care, or other arrangements are needed I'm extremely flexible! You can rest assured that your pets will be well cared for and loved with me. My schedule is flexible and I'm able to accommodate to your needs! I understand that pets and parents may require flexibility and I'm more than happy to arrange whatever you and your pet need. I will treat your home with the utmost respect and your pet will have plenty of playtime, walks, cuddles, and naps! I'll be sure to stick to their schedule and keep their routine while maintaining cleanliness as well. I have no issue cleaning pet bowls, crates, blankets, beds, cat litter, dog waste, or otherwise needed items.
“Danielle was great with our dog, Sierra. Sierra can be a little nervous at first meeting, Danielle was patient with her and Sierra warmed up to her quickly. We have booked Danielle for multiple walks and highly recommend her.”

“David is awesome with handling puppies, adults and dogs who are more anxious. Our dog gets so excited to see David everytime he comes. David does a great job of tiring them out and giving them opportunities to be social and get play time with other dogs.”


About: I have experience with cats, I own 4 and my mom owns 3! I also have experience with dogs as my mom was a dog walker when I was 12-now (23) and I went with her as well as boarded dogs! It will just be me caring for your pets! I work from home Wednesday- Fridays and could leave to walk a dog, or check in! Also could do check ins on cats. Weekends as well. I am a super loving person. I love to give the animals snuggles, treats, and make sure they’re well fed and get lots of attention.
“Justin was very responsive, professional and got along great with my temperamental senior dog. His flexible work arrangements made it easy to set up a time that worked for both of us. I’ll be booking Justin again soon!”

About: I provide dependable, high-touch pet care with a strong focus on safety, structure, and communication. With years of experience caring for dogs through personal, family, and friend settings, I’m comfortable with walks, feeding schedules, playtime, overnight stays, and keeping pets calm and happy in their normal routine. My hospitality management background means I bring a professional, service-first mindset to every booking, including timely updates and photo check-ins. Caring for pets fits seamlessly into my weekly routine because I intentionally build my schedule around being dependable and on time. I’m very organized and make sure each booking has dedicated time for walks, feeding, play, and updates so every pet receives focused attention and consistency. My routine allows me to provide reliable care throughout the week, including mornings, evenings, and flexible weekend availability. Safety, trust, and consistency are my top priorities in both my home and my client’s home. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, behavior, triggers, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions before every booking so I can keep their environment as familiar and stress-free as possible. In a client’s home, I respect their space and carefully follow all routines exactly as requested, including walks, feeding times, medications, crate use, and house rules. I always double-check doors, leashes, gates, and entry points to ensure pets remain secure at all times. If caring for pets in my home, I maintain a clean, calm, pet-safe environment with plenty of supervision, fresh water, safe spaces to rest, and structured play and potty breaks. I avoid exposing pets to unsafe foods, objects, or stressful situations and make sure they are never left unattended in a way that could put them at risk. I also provide regular updates and photo check-ins so pet parents always know their pet is safe, happy, and receiving attentive care.
“We booked Mullainy to walk our dog in the mornings for almost two weeks and he was the best! He was prompt every single day, communicative if traffic was tricky (yet always showed up on time) and had the best energy, plus our dog really took to him. We fully intend to book him again in the future!”

“Gage was awesome, and our dogs loved him! He arrived on time, interacted with our dogs in a gentle and playful manner, and shared great photos to keep us updated while we were away! Would definitely hire him again!”

“I am so grateful to Meghan, she jumped in when I was in a bit of a pinch and managed to add additional walks to her schedule even though it was a last minute request. A literal life saver!! She was also super communicative and my pups seemed to really enjoy their time with her.”

About: I have had dogs for over 15 years and have cared for many animals big and small, young and old! I would love to interact with furry friends on my lonesome work from home days!

Maddy was amazing! She was so sweet and gentle with our nervous dog. Arrived on time, took him to all his favorite spots, and sent lots of pictures. Her communication was great throughout! We felt so relaxed knowing she was taking care of our dog! Absolutely will ask her to come by again!
