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.

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.

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.

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.

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! I work 100% from home, so I would be able to give a furry friend attention every weekday before 5pm! I love to walk as well so would love to have a companion Animals should be treated just the same way that us humans are, and that is how I treat each and every fur baby I get the opportunity to care for!
