“Marc is a conscientious and dependable caregiver. He is easy to communicate with and trustworthy to allow in my home when I'm not there. When I am there, he has an engaging style and gets the job done to my great satisfaction, and obviously to Lola's as well. Her tail wags "vociferously" when he comes for her. That's the best review he can get. Dogs know!”

“Claudine is an excellent reliable dog walker and my pup Pebbie is beyond thrilled to see her during her weekly walks!! She is very attentive to my pup and her needs. Her walks are long and just the right amount of time for my pup to burn energy. She even plays fun games to also make the walks more mentally stimulating. I cannot recommend Claudine and her services enough!”

“The best!!!! Jackie is a fantastic walker for my special guy. I was able to tell how much she cares just from the meet and greet. Jackie is very punctual, reliable, and flexible. You can tell she is really on top of things and her attention to detail is superb. She has provided consistent loving care for bud! Highly recommended!!!”
“Nathalia is a gift that keeps on giving. She cared for my 75+ lbs mixed breed during my weeks long work emergency and saved the day by providing first class professional and personal care for my dog when I couldn’t make it home in time to walk him. She turns the adage: “if you want something done right you have to do it yourself” on its head. If you want pet care for your fur baby done right you get Nathalia. She helped me during my emergency when no one would. And she provided phenomenal care. My dog lives her!! I swear you’d think they’ve known each other for years but she just met my dog four days ago and they’ve bonded on the first day. And that is a huge relief not having to worry about someone actually caring for and about my dog. My kid. Nathalia isn’t just a dog walker, she’s a caregiver, she genuinely cares about my dog. She cares about every animal. She’s wonderful. She came through for me at the last minute and she has been kind, patient, professional and even loving. Like…literally loving my dog. Nathalia is the Platinum Standard when it comes to “Who Can I Trust to Take Care of My Baby?”. Thank you very, very, very much Nathalia, for taking great care of my dog. Definitely will be repeat clients.”


About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities, from playful puppies to gentle seniors. I focus on making every walk or visit fun, safe, and stress-free. I’m attentive to each pet’s routine, energy level, and comfort, and always give them the same love and patience I’d give my own. I’m also experienced with leash training and helping anxious dogs feel calm and cared for. With my remote job, I maintain a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate consistent time to pet care each day. I plan my walks and visits around my work hours to ensure reliability and punctuality. Whether it’s early mornings, lunch breaks, or evenings, I make sure every pet receives dependable care and attention. Safety and comfort always come first. Whether I’m walking your dog or caring for them in my home, I make sure they feel relaxed, loved, and secure. I follow each pet’s routine closely, from feeding and walks to playtime and rest, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you know they’re happy and well cared for.

About: I come from a family of veterinarians so I can’t remember a time when I wasn’t around animals or caring for them. I’ve been lucky to have an array of pets including dogs, cats, ferrets, rabbits, squirrels, gerbils, hamsters, guinea pigs, turtles and exotic fish. I’m currently in medical school and trying to earn some extra cash. I’m busy during the day due to school, but can study anywhere in the evenings to house sit. I can walk, feed, and keep pet company. I’m used to following long instructions for care, such as, different times and types of medications or supplements that need to be given.
“Booked last minute. Geoff communicated quickly, followed all instructions & took good care of my pup. He was very punctual and Fanta had a great time with him. Thank you”

About: I was lucky enough to grow up in a house that loved dogs on a block that loved dogs. As a kid and a teenager, i enjoyed the routine of coming home to walk my own dog, and then walking and visiting my neighbors dogs. As an adult, Ive had the pleasure of walking my neighbors, family and friends dogs; as well as dog sitting while they are away. There is a peace that comes from spending time with animals that is unmatched for me; the combination of routine, novelty, and unspoken connection is my respite! i work school hours a few days a week, and I am always looking to get moving during my day. I have flexibility for morning walks before 8am, availability for daytime walks after 3pm and can also coordinate evenings. Since we have a rabbit and a very emotionally sensitive cat—unfortunately we can’t host animals at our home at this time. However, I am happy to come to your home for a day to make sure your babies feel safe and accompanied while you’re away! I am a very routine and detail oriented person, and look forward to keeping the structure your pet is used to while you’re out. I also love to play, get silly, and am happy to give lots of pets and scratches ! unfortunately, i am not offering overnight services at this time, but am happy to stay late and arrive early.
“First time meet and greet. Moe was skiddish, as expected but warmed up to Daniel pretty quickly and let him take for a nice walk. Was on time, respectful, and courteous.”

About: Animals have always been a major part of my life, and my experience caring for them goes beyond just basic pet sitting. I have volunteered at animal shelters, where I gained hands-on experience walking and handling dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. This has taught me how to read body language, build trust quickly, and make every walk safe and enjoyable for each dog’s individual needs. I also have personal experience as a foster parent to cats. I successfully helped one of my fosters find her forever home, and I proudly became a “foster fail” with another who I couldn’t imagine letting go. I currently care for a blind cat, which has deepened my understanding of patience, consistency, and creating a safe, predictable environment for special-needs pets. In the past, I also cared for a cat with feline leukemia who was incredibly special to me, and I made sure he was always comfortable, loved, and supported. My background has given me a strong sense of compassion, responsibility, and intuition when it comes to animals. I treat every pet like my own, and I understand how important it is for pet parents to feel complete peace of mind while they’re away. I am currently working per diem, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care. I am also in a season of exploring my passions and focusing on work that feels meaningful to me. Pet care is something I truly enjoy, and I love building trust with every animal I meet. I care for pets in clients’ homes by following their normal routines as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, litter care, playtime, and any medications. I adjust to each pet’s personality and needs, whether they’re social or need space. I also keep the home clean, secure, and provide updates so pet parents feel at ease.
About: I’ve taken care of many dogs growing up with so many pets of my own. From family pets to friends and neighbors I’ve walked, feed, and bathe them all. I’m currently working part-time, so I’ll have a lot of free time from 8:30 to 2 o’clock and 6:00 to 9 on the weekdays. On the weekends I’m available all day. I provide loving, attentive care for your pet right in the comfort of their own home, where they feel safest and most relaxed. I make sure to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or quiet cuddle time so they experience consistency while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and in good hands.

“Cole is a true professional who genuinely cares for dogs and animals of all kinds. From the very beginning, he has been reliable, attentive, and incredibly easy to work with. My dog, Lucky, absolutely loves her walks with him and gets excited every time he arrives, which says a lot about the bond and trust he builds with the pets he cares for. Cole is caring, friendly, patient, and always brings a positive attitude. He treats every dog as if they were his own and takes the time to make sure they are comfortable, safe, and happy. As a pet owner, it gives me real peace of mind knowing Lucky is in such capable and compassionate hands. I truly appreciate the level of professionalism and genuine kindness Cole brings to his work. I would gladly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dependable, and caring dog walker to care for their cherished pet.”

“I was a bit nervous to use this service as Im very new to owning a dog, my friend introduced me to the app, and Im so happy I found Jonny. I can’t recommend Jonny highly enough! My experience has been fantastic. Jonny is incredibly reliable, always showing up on time, and very polite. My dog absolutely enjoys his walks as well. Jonny also provides detailed updates and photos after each walk, which I appreciate. Five stars all the way!”

About: I have always been involved in pet care in my home for over 15 years. I have had experience with elderly dogs and cats of my own. I have pet-sitted in my neighborhood for puppies and for breeds different from my own dogs. I will use my energy to play with your pet and hopefully decrease their energy. I have a very flexible schedule since graduating college and applying to graduate school nearby. I have lots of time and availability for stop-ins during the day or bringing study materials to a client’s home. My yard is fenced in and I can take dogs for a walk in Brookdale Park nearby. I will administer medicine and play with dogs and provide them with a cuddly environment.
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was a little girl. My experience with pets since childhood has given me a deep love and understanding for animals! I am very excited to take care of your fur babies as if they were my own. Which means offering them attention, playtime, and cuddles. When they are in my care, my goal is to make your family member to feel safe and comfortable- as well as you! I am currently as stay at home mom! Which means I can give your loved one the attention they deserve! With me, you can feel confident knowing your pet is getting the best care in a home where they’re treated like family. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities! With a fenced backyard, they’ll have plenty of space to run, play, and enjoy the outdoors. I make sure the environment is secure so they can safely explore without worries. If your pet is crate-trained or you’d prefer them to have their own space, I’m happy to crate them when needed. It can be a calm, cozy spot for naps, meals, or quiet time. In addition to providing a safe, fun environment, I make sure they feel at home—whether that means lots of playtime, cuddles, or a quiet corner to relax in. I keep them on their routine, stick to their feeding schedule, and ensure they get plenty of love and attention throughout the day. If your pet doesn’t get along well with other dogs/cats then I am more than happy to provide a safe and fun space for them as well with planning together as well!

Carolina is fantastic and I highly recommend her! She is punctual, communicative, and our Doggo really loved his walks with her! She sent us plenty of photos of Oli on his walks and photos of him eating his dinner and drinking water. We will definitely continue to reach out to her when we need Oli to be walked! Thank you Carolina! 💕

Krista has been an absolutely amazing dog walker! She is reliable, communicative, and clearly has a true love for animals. I always feel at ease knowing my dog is in such caring and capable hands. She goes above and beyond with updates, photos, and thoughtful attention to my dog’s needs and personality. My pup gets so excited every time she comes by, which says everything. I would highly recommend Krista to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and professional dog walker!

I cannot recommend Kathy highly enough as a dog walker. She is consistently reliable, punctual, and deeply attentive to my dog, Emma’s needs. From day one, it was clear that she genuinely cared about Emma — not just getting the job done, but making sure each walk was safe, engaging, and enjoyable. And that was important because Emma is a lively dog who eats everything in sight. Communication is always prompt and professional, and I appreciate the regular updates and photos after each visit. Most importantly, Emma absolutely adores Kathy and comes home happy and well-exercised every time. Knowing Emma is in such dependable hands gives me complete peace of mind. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and compassionate, Kathy is an outstanding choice!
Jack was great with Loki and Luna! This was our first time working together and everything went smoothly. He communicated well, sent photo updates, followed instructions, and the dogs looked happy after both walks. I really appreciated the professionalism and care. Would definitely book again — thank you
