“Nicole was great with Ralphie. She got to know him quickly, and every day was able to increase their distance covered. Ralphie was always happy and excited to see Nicole and went with her easily. I was dog sitting for Ralphie who is my daughter's dog, and I am not able to give him the exercise he needs, so Nicole was a life safer. I will definitely reach out to Nicole the next time Ralphie stays with me.”

17. Viviana F.
About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was 7 years old. I've raised two German shepherds. Unfortunately, they have both passed now. But I would walk both of these larger dogs, whether they pulled or not. I also still have a 9 year old cat who loves naps and cuddles. However, he is still back home with my parents. In my childhood, I had a cat named Oreo who was grumpy and didn't enjoy pets, so I can handle pets who don't enjoy physical touch as well. Additionally, I volunteer at the C.A.R.E animal shelter on Monday nights from 6-9 PM. Although I am still in college, I try to schedule all my classes on two days of the week. So, I will be readily available to take care of your pets on three days of the week. Currently I am available Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays! I also have a part-time job that will require me to work every other weekend. However, I can always look to change my schedule if it is desperately needed. I can easily crate your dog if needed. I will also provide fresh water during each visit. Additionally, I will send photos and updates to ensure your dogs safety and health. Plus, I will make sure they get plenty of playtime!
18. Devyn F.
About: I have 8 years of experience caring for pets, from reptiles to dogs, ensuring personalized care, attention, and love. Your pets will be treated like family! Pet care is a central part of my daily routine. I prioritize feeding, walking, and playtime around each pet’s schedule to ensure consistency and comfort. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening cuddles, I structure my day to meet their needs. My flexible schedule allows me to provide attentive, reliable care, ensuring your pets are happy, healthy, and well-loved every day! When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, their safety and comfort are my top priorities. I ensure they are fed at the appropriate times, their water bowls are always clean and full, and they have a safe, cozy space to relax. I pay close attention to each pet’s unique routine, needs, and preferences to minimize stress and maintain a familiar environment. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or simply keeping them company, I provide attentive, loving care to make them feel secure and happy. You can trust me to treat your pets like family!
19. Paige F.
“Paige was exceptional. She was prompt, considerate, and did a great job easing into of walks with Sadie. Paige’s communications, both to my husband and me, were descriptive and detailed. Paige went above and beyond.”
20. Stephanie C.
“Stephanie is the perfect person to take care of pets. She is always ready to take care of my dog and is always flexible to take him on walks or watch him. My dog loves her. Some days my dog doesn’t eat and will be very picky with his food, but Stephanie is a dog whisper that knows how to convince my dog to always eat! Great pet lover and great person!”
