“Richard was prompt, and Bird was excited to see him. His communication is great and he was fabulous with my boy. Bird has been looking out of the window for him since he left. I've been looking for someone I can trust and I believe I've found him. I will definitely be using Richard again!”

“Thoughtful, reliable, trustworthy. That would be enough for five stars but Marvin is also really gifted with dogs. Just great. We feel lucky to have found him.”

“I had a great experience with Lea walking my dog daily for a week. She is courteous, dependable and there was no drama. I will definitely hire Lea again, and recommend her highly.”
“Katherine was amazing! She took Ace on a full hour-long walk, and he came back super calm and tired out afterward. She also sent the cutest pictures from their walk, which I really appreciated.”


About: I grew up in a neighborhood with many dogs and regularly helped by walking and caring for their pets. I also spend a lot of time caring for and walking my family’s dog, which has made me comfortable working with animas of different personalities and energy levels. I am dependable, patient, and genuinely enjoy being around animals. I am a teacher who is currently off for the summer and able to walk/care for pets anytime during the week. My schedule is flexible and able to change as needed. I am comfortable caring for your pet in your home, whether that be playing, feeding, or just sitting with them. I am able to crate your animal if necessary after services and can provide pictures as well as updates as to how the walk/visit went.

“Barbara did an excellent job with Murphy. She sent me pictures and left commentary as to what would be helpful. And from the photos she left Murphy appeared to really like her. I highly recommend.”

“Somyr did a great job with my pups. One of my dogs will bark your head off and I was a little nervous. After a few treats she told me he was fine and that was amazing to hear and let me know he was comfortable with her. I received the cutest pictures and will be booking again!”

About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 10 years and have experience with both dogs and cats of different ages, temperaments, and needs. I currently have an anxious senior chihuahua with glaucoma who requires daily medication and monitoring, as well as a cat, so I’m very comfortable with routines, patience, and special care. I’ve handled feeding schedules, walks, litter care, administering eye drops and medications, and creating calm environments for pets who may be nervous or sensitive. I treat every pet as if they’re my own and prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I’m able to give pets focused, attentive care rather than rushing visits. I’m flexible with scheduling and prioritize consistency, calm energy, and clear communication. Whether it’s daily care, drop-ins, or extended stays, I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, enrichment, and affection while maintaining their normal routines. I create a calm, safe, and structured environment by closely following each pet’s routine and care instructions. I’m experienced with anxious and senior pets, medication administration, and monitoring health or behavior changes. Safety, supervision, and clear communication with pet parents are always my top priorities.

About: I've grown up with pets all my life, cats,dogs birds and fish. I adore the unconditional love animals have. Ever since I was a child I've been dog sitting and walking dogs for my surrounding neighbors and friends. I work and live on a boat and am unable to have a dog of my own currently. To be able to spend time with a furry companion would brighten my day and your dogs! I have so much love to give them and whether it's a run or walk or just a good play, it would be a highlight to both our days. I have experience with all dog types ranging from young puppies to senior dogs. No matter what kind of dog it is I know I would give them the love and attention they need.
“Kathryn was absolutely amazing! She helped me very last minute while I was away from home. She took my 2 large dogs for a long walk. It was easy to coordinate with her and she sent me several updates during the walk. She was on time to meet and made the whole things very easy. I would highly recommend her to anyone in her area! She made a complicated day much less stressful!”

I highly recommend this dog walker! He was extremely reliable, professional, and clearly cared about my dog. His updates were very detailed and descriptive, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. He always kept me informed about the walk, my dog’s behavior, and anything noteworthy. I truly appreciated the thorough communication and excellent care he provided.

Katherine was the sweetest! She was great with communication and even though my dog is not the easiest to walk she was very patient and attentive with her. She left the cutest little handwritten cards behind, which was such a nice touch. I highly recommend her! Thank you, Katherine!

Lauren is absolutely exceptional! My very energetic dogs loved her right away. She has such a good and sweet manner with them. Also, her clinical knowledge from working as a Veterinary Technician is so helpful. She is very aware of the dogs when they are out, knowing exactly when to give them a rest or water or both. She also many times pointed out small things that I might want to look into regarding allergies, etc. Lauren is fabulous and I would highly recommend her!!!
