“Wonderful walker who was chill around my energetic Golden and was able to manage his excitement. Carolina took great pics of Captain and really captured who he is on his walks, happy with a stick and running joyful. That let me know he enjoyed his time with Carolina and was comfortable with her — we will be rebooking!”

About: I am an Animal Studies and Environmental Studies double major entering my senior year in the fall. I have had pets my whole life, both dogs and cats, and have experience caring for both. I have more than two years of experience working in doggy daycare and more than one year of experience working in doggy boarding. I am comfortable with all breeds and all sizes and am also comfortable administering medication as long as instructions are provided. I am currently out of school for the summer. While at school I was employed to a doggy daycare, but while home for the summer I am unemployed. I have a grant to do research on beach nesting birds for the summer and will receive more details on the schedule for that in coming weeks, but was told the hours are flexible, so they can work around your needs! I will play with, cuddle with and love on your pet as much as you would like and don’t mind taking them on adventures to the park or the store! The only thing I lack experience in is bathing, otherwise I am open to help your pet have as much fun as possible while you’re away. I am also comfortable with helping you with anything you need done while you’re away, such as watering plants or checking the mail. Please let me know how I can help you :)

“Kailea has been amazing!”


“she was last-minute booking because of an illness with my other Dogwalker and she was my hero yesterday!! Responsible on time wonderful with my dog I can’t say enough great things about her. I feel like I just got so lucky. I look forward to being able to work with her again.”


About: I’ve taken care of my own pets and know that every pet is different! Whether it’s lots of exercise or lazy days, I’ve always been around animals and care deeply for their health and happiness! I have a dog that needs a lot of attention and care at this point in her life, I have had her since I was in about 3rd grade and I always make sure she is the happiest pup. I also take care of my friends dogs on occasion to let them run in the yard and eat their breakfast/ dinner! Make sure they get lots of exercise or whatever their specific needs are like giving them medications / pills or even stopping by to make sure they get their stretches and companion time in!

“Came during storm when other sitters couldn’t. My Addie looked very happy in her pics Simone sent me. Thanks Simone💕🐾”


About: I have had dogs my entire life, but recently got my own dog 3 years ago. I have mostly had medium to large dogs, but also have zoo keeping experience. I work as a server, usually my shifts are 4-9. I am available most afternoons, and can go see your fur baby after I get off work. I am willing to follow any instructions you may have about your pet. Whether that be crating or certain dietary restrictions, I am more than happy to help.

“The dogs loved Craig ( although my little Havanese was jealous that only Toli got to go on the walks). That didn’t stop Craig from loving on him though!”



“Excellent! Vita came at the last minute and we really appreciated that. Very warm and loving to our Buster. Thank you!”


“Thank you for walking Enzo.”

About: I’ve always loved animals since I was a kid and got my first dog when I was 10. They lived a long and healthy 18 years of life. When they were 15, we got them some company with a puppy! Although their energy was opposite, they got along swelling well. Loving to get back in touch with the fur family so I’ve been caring for family and friends pets more often. I’m an actor so I always know how to entertain them as well as being able to read them pretty well. I have some experience with administering medication as well. I’m currently a grad student on summer break so I have plenty of time currently for all my fur babies needs! Once school begins in September I’m positive so early morning as well as evening care is more than possible. I do not offer care at my own home, but am an extremely neat, tidy, and minimal person. Any past clients I’ve had to do overnight stays with can attest to that.

About: Hi, I'm Cristine! I am a dog lover who adopted a Jack Terrier/Dachsund mix named Rocco, who is currently 4 years old. I work from home everyday and enjoy walking my dog and spending time with him at home or at the dog park. I have grown up most of my life with family dogs and I've watched numerous family/friends' dogs while they've been out of town. I can handle almost any dog sitting/walking needs. Rocco loves having dog company. He gets along great with any dogs that he meets. Being a dog owner, I understand the predicament when going out of town and needing someone to watch Rocco. I, like most other dog owners, would prefer my dog in a loving and fun environment instead of being boarded in a kennel. I'm willing to send pictures and updates as requested. I can't wait to meet your pooch !!!

Michelle C.
“Michelle loves all animals; I have known her for over 15 years, and she eats, sleeps and breathes her dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, fish, and probably many more that I didn't list. She has worked in vet offices and takes care of her friend's pets when they need her help on vacation or business trips. Your animal will sense her love for them once they meet her, and you couldn't hire anyone better to take care of them. She is dependable, nurturing, loving to all kinds of animals. She also educates herself to know all she can know about the animal she cares for and is really good at knowing when something is wrong.”

Cristine B.
“Cristine’s love and care of animals is incredible! She watches after my 1 year old Husky and 7 year old Amstaff taking gentle care of each and caters to their individual needs. Cristine communicates with me so I never have to worry about them and they really enjoy spending time with her! Tremendous caretaker!”
